Chapter 11

Previously…

-Oh no.-she said.

-What now.-he asked, annoyed.

-We left our phones in class!-said Musa.

-Well, I'm a good lock picker.-said Riven.

-Yeah, it's just that the lock is on the other side of the door. This door can only be locked from the outside.-said Musa.

-Well, let's look around.-said Riven as they started picking through the room.

….

The girls were in their dorm.

-Guys, have you seen Musa?-asked Flora.

-No, she's probably out for a swim, I know we're not allowed to swim, but who would follow her out this late.-said Layla.

Musa and Riven had given up on searching an exit one hour and a half ago. That's pretty much the whole time they've been stuck in the cabinet.

-…and that's why I always hated Thanksgiving!-said Musa, both of them laughing.

-Ok, now what's your favorite holiday?-asked Riven.

-My birthday.-said Musa. They chuckled.

-And what about you, what's your favorite and un-favorite holiday?-asked Musa.

-Actually, I've never really been into holidays, we haven't celebrated them. My dad's always on business trips and he never pays attention to me.-said Riven-He's always treating me like his servant. That's why I decided I'll become a bad boy, so he can pay attention to me.

-Aha, no wonder you're such a jerk!-said Musa playfully.

-Ha ha.-said Riven sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

-You know, you don't really have to be that way, your dad should appreciate you for who you are, even if you like being a "Bad boy"-Musa quoted the "Bad boy" part with her fingers-you don't have to bully people around.

-Maybe.-he said.

-Girls, it's eleven o'clock, she never stays up that late!-said Tecna.

-Let's call Timmy.-said Layla dialing his number-Hello, Layla here, we haven't seen Musa in a few hours…..Geography class…Ok….uh-uh….she's still in the school?...ok, be right over.

-It's ironic how Musa got locked in the school since she's the one who can't stand it.-said Stella.

-That's not the worst part, remember how the teacher sent her and Riven to the Geography cabinet?-asked Layla.

The girls' eyes widened.

-If she didn't kill him then, she will now!-said Flora-We gotta hurry!

Musa and Riven were still sitting on the floor, talking and enjoying each other's company.

-Well, my dad is not as bad as yours, but he does have a few flaws, I mean he's all messy, always rushing to work…-said Musa.

-What about your mom?-asked Riven.

-She left us when I was six.-said Musa.

-I'm sorry. My mom left us too, I was 5.-said Riven.

-So, what kind of pranks do you know?-asked Musa.

-Why?-asked Riven.

-Well, I was a pretty good prankster back in my old school.-said Musa with a mischievous smile.

The girls were in front of the school's gate worriedly waiting for Timmy to find the copy of the school's key.

-Come on! Can it go any faster!?-asked Bloom.

-I'm trying!-said Timmy.

A thunder was heard.

-Uhh Timmy, we're going back to our dorm.-said Flora.

-Why?-asked Timmy.

-It looks like it's gonna rain!-said Tecna pointing at the sky.

-I'll try to get you an umbrella, I'm a fast runner!-said Layla as the girls ran to their dorm.

….

Musa and Riven were talking and they heard the thunder.

-Is it gonna rain?-asked Musa.

-It looks like it.-said Riven.

-I hope the girls are at the dorm…-Musa mumbled, but Riven heard her.

-Of course they're at the dorm, it's almost twelve o'clock.-said Riven.

-Riven, about my mother, she didn't leave us, she died.-said Musa-I don't really want to talk about it. And I also don't like when people are like: "I'm sorry for your lost".

They were quiet.

-You know, you're not as bad as I thought.-said Musa, turning her head towards him.

-Neither are you.-said Riven. They kissed.

Someone started opening the door. They ran to the door and saw Timmy opening it.

-Oh good, you're alive.-he said.

-What are you talking about?-asked Musa.

-I was addressing to Riven.-said Timmy.

-Timmy, does it rain outside?-asked Musa.

-No, but it's about to, here, take the umbrella and run to your dorm.-said Timmy.

They all went to their dorm buildings.

Just as Musa entered the building, it started raining.

She ran up the stairs and entered their room.

-Musa! You're not wet!-said Stella hugging her.

-Thanks for asking how am i.-said Musa.

-Your welcome.-said Stella as they laughed.

-So what happened?-asked Bloom.

-Oh you know, just arguing, trying to find an exit, plain old boring stuff.-said Musa.

-Too bad you didn't get to kill him.-Layla elbowed her. Musa smirked.

….

Monday at school, Musa and Riven have been glancing at each other when no one watched, but didn't dare to talk to each other.

-Hello!? Are you gonna make up your mind or what?-asked Layla waving a hand in front of Musa's face.

-What…oh, I'll take a sandwich.-said Musa. The girls were in the cafeteria sitting, and it was Layla's turn to take orders.

Layla came back with the food.

-Hey Muse are you ok?-asked Layla.

-I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?-asked Musa.

-You seem a bit off today, are you sure you're ok?-asked Bloom.

-Yeah, just a bit sleepy.-said Musa.

-You sure?-asked Stella.

-I'm fine ok! No need to bother!-said Musa.

….

The girls were in their dorm, sitting around Musa.

-Spill!-said Layla.

-Ok, the problem is….I'm scared of the full moon.-lied Musa.

-Well why didn't you just say so!-said Tecna.

-Don't worry, it won't be like last time.-said Bloom-I'll be more careful and no one's gonna get moonstruck.

-It's not that.-said Musa-It's Miss. Ofelia's prophecy.

-Relax, I'm sure it's no biggie.-said Stella.

-Good, well I'm gonna go to my room bye!-Musa quickly entered her room.

She heard a knock.

-Who is it?-she asked.

-It's me.-said Layla.

-Come in.-sighed Musa.

Layla entered the room.

-Look, I know you lied. I just want you to tell me the truth. I promise I won't tell anyone.-said Layla.

-Really?-asked Musa.

-Yeah.-said Layla.

-The funny thing is I can see when you're lying too.-said Musa.

-Musa, come on, we're just trying to help you.-said Layla.

-This isn't a problem. It's just something that happened once and it's bothering me.-said Musa-Actually it happened twice.-Layla didn't hear the last part.

-Well what is it.

-I think I may…like someone.-said Musa.

-Really, who? Is it someone of the Specialists?-asked Layla.

-I'm not gonna say names. If you want to help, listen.-said Musa.

Layla nodded her head.

-I liked someone in the past, but I couldn't and can't trust him. I like someone now…

-And you're afraid the same thing's gonna happen?-asked Layla. Musa nodded.

-Well, go for it. Just be careful.-said Layla.

-That's about it.-said Musa.

-Ok, are you coming for a swim?-asked Layla.

-I'm going to bed early.-said Musa.

-Ok. Bye.-said Layla
