Chapter 13:
Pixen was in his room, sitting on his bed as he stared at his photo that sat on his bedside table,
'Are you really coming back?' Pixen thought as he saw tears fall onto the photo frame's glass, Pixen wiped them off when he got a knock on the door,
"Pixen. Are you in there?" Jackie's voice gently chimed through the door,
"Coming." Pixen replied, wiping away his tears before opening the door to see Jackie, looking concerned,
"You were crying again weren't you?" Jackie asked,
"What gives you that idea?" Pixen asked,
"Your eyes are red and puffy." Jackie pointed out. Pixen's head dropped and Jackie instantly knew what it was, "She's gonna come back. I promise." Jackie reassured,
"But what if she doesn't?" Pixen asked, choking back tears,
"Pixen look at me." Jackie stated as she placed her hand on Pixen's cheek and lifted his head to look at her, "She will. You just need to have faith." Jackie soothed. Pixen saw some sort of spark in Jackie's eyes that caused his heart to skip a beat,
"Breakfast!" Cole called, snapping the 2 out of their thoughts. Pixen quickly whipped his tears,
"Pixen." Jackie started. Pixen looked at Jackie, "She will come back, otherwise my name isn't Jacqueline Isabella Smith-Walker and have the craziest father in the world." Jackie stated, the last part causing the 2 to chuckle, before walking to the dining room.
At breakfast,
"I take your actually gonna go to school when you should rest?" Lucas asked,
"Yep. I love it here and all but…I can't stand be cooped up in 1 place for any longer." Roxy replied,
"And don't forget our little talk." Cole stated,
"I won't Cole. How many times are you gonna remind me?" Roxy asked,
"I'll tattoo it onto your brain if I have to." Cole stated as everyone chuckled. After breakfast, Roxy, Lucas, Laura and Pixen hoped into Cole's car while Allen, Kacy, Jackie and Nick went into Jay's.
The lot got to the school to be greeted by Brandon,
"Hey guys." Brandon stated as he noticed Roxy, "So who's the new girl?" he asked,
"Ha, ha." Roxy replied,
"Serious note tho, the jerk's been expelled." Brandon explained,
"Awesome. Now I don't have to worry about get more injuries from him." Roxy replied,
"And word's all over the school of your injuries." Brandon added. Roxy sighed as her head dropped,
"Woo…hoo." Roxy stated in a dead tone as she looped her finger in the air,
"Don't stress it." Kacy stated as she gently nudged Roxy. The bell went for form and the group split.
1st period was dance for Roxy. Roxy walked into the dance room when,
"Roxy. Come here please." Lou requested. Roxy walked over and looked sweetly up at her foster grand father ((is that even a thing?)),
"Yes Mr Brookestone?" Roxy asked sweetly,
"Cole called me earlier and told me you are not to dance at all." Lou explained and Roxy's head and arms dropped, "I know it's horrible but it's for your health." Lou continued,
"Are you sure? Cos, I mean like, I could dance and no one could tell him. He'd never know." Roxy tried to convince but Lou looked at Roxy with a brow raised,
"Roxy. He'd know. Any way, even if he didn't call, I wouldn't let you dance." Lou stated,
"But why?" Roxy asked,
"Roxy. Look at what you've been through. You're not dancing." Lou explained. Roxy sighed as her head and arms dropped again,
"Yes Mr Brookestone." Roxy sighed in defeat,
"Don't look so down. I could actually use your help." Lou stated, catching Roxy's attention by the way he said it. Lou grabbed a clipboard and handed it to Roxy, "For the next assignment, each student is going to be paired with any famous dancer and is going to have to research their dance style and routines they've done in the past and re-create 1 of them or create their own based on their dancers style and past routines. I need you to create the pairs." Lou stated,
"Ok. Any restrains like groups or styles?" Roxy asked, mind already going through each class member and dancers,
"Nope. If they want to, they may even work in groups but groups can be no larger than 6." Lou replied,
"Am I allowed to ask for personal styles?" Roxy asked, starting to become more intrigued,
"When ever there is a break, and I apologise for the leading role." Lou replied,
"It's ok. Who got it?" Roxy asked,
"Amber." Lou replied,
"Awesome. She deserves it." Roxy stated with a genuine smile,
"Now. Go take a seat and get started." Lou stated,
"Yes Mr Brookestone." Roxy replied. Roxy walked over to the row of seats when a girl walked over to her. The girl had shoulder length black hair with the bottom ½ purple and blue eyes. She wore black tank top with 'Killer On The Dance Floor' written in purple with a purple picture of a knife stabbed into a disco ball, a fish net shirt underneath her tank top, black tights with purple spider webs all over them and black sneakers. She also had black and purple eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara and black lipstick and a diamond stud nose piercing and a sliver choker. Roxy looked up at the girl with a smile,
"Hey Amber." Roxy greeted,
"Hey Roxy. I just came over to see if you were alright with everything that's been happening." Amber explained,
"I'm fine. Congratulations about the leading role." Roxy replied,
"Thanks. I'm super nervous about it tho. I've never gotten lead in anything." Amber explained,
"Ever?" Roxy asked,
"Ever." Amber replied,
"How? You're an amazing dancer. You deserve the leading role." Roxy stated,
"Would I be able to come to you for pointers?" Amber asked,
"No. You can't." Roxy replied sarcastically and the 2 chuckled as Lou called for all the dancers,
"Gotta go." Amber stated,
"1 last quick question. If you could re-create any dancer's past routine, who would it be and if it's a group and you want a group, who'd you want?" Roxy asked,
"Is this the next assignment?" Amber asked,
"No." Roxy replied while nodding,
"I'd re-create Michael Jackson." Amber replied,
"Ok. Thanks." Roxy stated,
"All cool." Amber replied as she joined the class.
At the soccer class, Lucas and Laura stood as they waited for their 2 selected captains choose their teams. There were 2 boys, 1 had blond hair and hazel eyes called Oliver and the other had black hair and blue eyes called Greg. Everyone wore the school's soccer uniform, which was light green shirts with white outlining with matching shorts, and black soccer shoes with green souls and all long hair tied back. The captains stood in front of the class, Greg wearing a blue sash and a pile of blue sashes in front of him,
"Ok. Oliver, you can choose 1st and you each must choose a girl 1st." the coach spoke,
"Laura." Oliver stated, Greg sighing as Laura walked over and stood behind Oliver, hair in a high ponytail,
"Kallie." Greg stated as said girl picked up a sash and stood behind him,
"Now a boy." Coach spoke,
"Lucas." Oliver stated and Greg groaned,
"Really? Both Garmadons? Not fair!" Greg exclaimed,
"Greg." Coach stated sternly and Greg stopped as Lucas stood with his sister. The girls went fast due to only 4 out the 28 students being girls. The teams went to their positions and as soon as Coach blew the whistle, everyone sprung into action. As they played, Oliver's team were destroying Greg's team. It was like the twins were telepathically talking to each other. Soon class ended and on the way back to the change rooms,
"Can you believe Laura?" a girl called Madison whispered but Laura could hear,
"Yeah. She's so gross." another girl called Chelsea replied,
"She acts like a boy." Madison whispered,
"How gross." Chelsea replied,
"Well at lest I act like a decent human being and not talk about people being their backs and actually contribute to the game." Laura stated as she turned around,
"Were we talking to you?" Madison asked,
"You were when you said my name. That's how you get someone's attention. You say their name and by doing so you want to talk to them." Laura stated,
"No it doesn't," Chelsea replied,
"Well then, why did you say it loud enough for me to hear it?" Laura asked,
"Why were you listening to our conversation?" Madison asked,
"Oh, I'm sorry for have a thing called hearing and you entering my hearing range and not being able to ignore the conversation about me." Laura stated before walking off.
At recess, Laura was in the girl's room when Madison and Chelsea walked in,
"Um…what are you doing in here? This is the girl's room." Madison stated,
"I'm a girl." Laura replied,
"No you're not. You're a boy." Chelsea replied,
"No I'm not. I'm a girl." Laura stated as she walked out and met up with Lucas,
"What's wrong?" Lucas asked,
"According to Madison and Chelsea, you have a brother, not a sister." Laura rolled her eyes,
"What's their problem?" Lucas asked,
"No idea." Laura replied, " They've always picked on me." Laura added,
"They'll have to grow up some day." Lucas stated,
"Isn't that what everyone tells us to do?" Laura asked before the 2 laughed,
"Let's go." Lucas stated.
Next period, the twins, Nick and Roxy had English when the alarm went off,
"What's that?" Roxy asked,
"Not a drill. They already had the drill 2 months ago." Nick replied,
"Class get under your desks." The teacher stated as the students obeyed and the teacher locked the door and went under her desk. A few minuets later, the door got kicked down and 3 figures walked in. It was the same 3 Roxy had to deal with at the hospital but the brown-eyed ones were replaced with blue eyed ones,
"Everyone to the back of the room and no one gets hurt!" The red-eyed figure barked and everyone obeyed. The red-eyed figure walked along the row of students before standing in front of Roxy, "You. Get here." They stated as they pointed their gun at Roxy. Roxy slowly obeyed as she looked at their eyes and remembered what Cole had told her. That those eyes belonged to Pixen's mum and Zane's love. That they were the eyes of the corrupted Pixal,
"What do you what with her?" Laura asked,
"None of your business!." Pixal barked before turning to her henchmen, "Keep the brats quiet or you know what I'll do." she instructed as she grabbed Roxy and shoved the gun to Roxy's temple, "Obey or die. Move!" Pixal instructed. Roxy shakily walked in front of Pixal when they saw 8 figures on the path ahead,
"Remove the gun from her head!" Cole instructed,
"Or you could follow my commands and she lives." Pixal threatened,
"No gonna happen." Linda replied,
"Every well." Pixal stated and was about to pull the trigger when…the branches of the near by tree held her in place. Roxy took the opportunity to bolt to Cole, sobbing,
"It's ok. I got you." Cole whispered as he stoked Roxy's hair,
"B-But the o-other aren't. T-They're s-still in there w-with the other 2." Roxy replied,
"We'll get them. I promise." Cole soothed. Pixal broke free and the fight continued until Jay hit Pixal with a lightning bolt, causing her to shut off. Zane caught Pixal and anyone could tell he was holding back all emotions,
"You get her to the temple." Lloyd stated,
"But Pixen and the other children." Zane replied,
"We got them. Go help Pixal." Lloyd instructed. Zane nodded as he picked up Pixal bridal style and took off. They took down Pixal's henchmen, no sweat and all students were sent home.
