(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ Hi


"Here let me help you." Wally squat down in front of me with his back facing me. His hand is already held beside him, ready to lift me up in a piggyback ride.

I shake my hand with my hands move in the same motion "It's okay, you don't have to do that." As I wearily look up at Lisa asking for her help in a silent plea. She seems to notice my look but I think she doesn't want to help me and just smirk at me.

"Come on, Jen, just accept it," Lisa says "It's getting late and we both know that your leg is too hurt to move."

She was right. Because it was already past 6 and most of all the children and their parents had returned, Susan had also returned due to a sudden meeting. Aqri has also gone home with her future boyfriend who she said was 'just a friend' with a blush to color his cheek. Lisa hasn't come home yet because we have to pay attention that nothing is left behind, Wally also helps in looking after the children. Most of the time I doing was sitting and watching form my seat, sometimes Wally does come and talk with me and if my leg wasn't hurt, I wouldn't let him come near me. I really need a companion to talk to.

I gave a loud sigh and move carefully to climb at Wally back. I place my hand on his shoulder and trying to give both of us space so that my chest didn't touch him or for the main reason is that he couldn't feel my fastening heartbeat when I touch his warm skin that, indeed proves my thought were right, it was very hard and muscular.

I could see Wally smile and Lisa nod, "Take care of her." Lisa gave Wally my bag as we walk toward out of the pool area and into the parking lot were from afar I could see Wally car park beside a brick. Wally carefully takes out the key card from his pocket and press the unlock button. The car gave light and the sound of door lock being unlocked.

He carefully squats down, I take that sign and climb down from him to hold into the car to regain my balance. He opens the door and put my bag inside first before fully open it to let me in. He held out his hand to help me but I didn't take it, decide to just choose the door frame to help me. Wally seems to recover fast as his hand moves to my leg and lifts me up suddenly, making me yelp and quickly I circle my arm around his neck.

I heard him chuckle and I hit his back and I hope it was hurt enough. I yell at him "Don't do that!"

He carefully places me in the comfy seat and slowly moves to fasten the seatbelt on me, "My legs just hurt, I can still use my hand you know." I lift my hand and move it around to show him how well my hand is.

"I can see that." as he closes the door and moves toward the driver seat to drive away.

He drove.

I sat. My hand crossed. My eyes watching every people, place and some car pass fast.

I began to bit my lower lips as the silence become very... uncomforting. I look at Wally and try to make a conversation because this quite is KILLING ME INSIDE. What should I talk about with him? His favorite food? He already told me everything about his favorite that is food, drink, shirt, sports, and anything else that I don't think I can't remember them all. Something about Wally West that I don't know... An Idea shot in my head "What happen to you back?"

He didn't look at me and just keep staring at the road. I didn't even see him flinch, he just act too... natural that I have a guess many people have asked him the same question about his back, "You just knew? Here I thought you already knew when you dress me." I could see the annoying smile spread in his face.

I scowl at the reminder about that time "If you're awake you could see that I was busy closing my eyes and focus on the clothing other than your body."

"Aww, come on, we both know when I first get out of the shower you were dreaming on me or maybe drooling?" His eyebrows wiggle then the corner of his mouth that moves up a little, his eyes still staring at the road.

I was sure that right now my face must be the same color as his hair, "I WASN'T DROOLING!"

"You just say that you weren't drooling then it's true then that you are dreaming. What can I say? I'm the ideal man of all women's dreams."

"Psh yeah right, and I wasn't. DREAMING. ABOUT. YOU!" I shout and some reason I was sure there must be blush in my face because He looks at me for a couple of seconds then back again to the road with a smirk of winning in his lips.

"Jenny in denial." He sings the word like a child.

"No, of course NOT! Now back to the main question!" I glare at him and crossed my hands.

"Why? It's more fun to talk about this topic."

"West," I grumble "answer my question," His smirk slowly gone and turn into a sad smile that makes me felt guilty when that smirk was gone. "It's okay if you don't want to." I quickly add.

"No, I just- it just I didn't know how to tell you." He says it while looking a bit too nervous but for some reason, inside my head or maybe deep in the corner of my thought, that he was acting, I mean he looks a little smooth and already used to that word maybe to someone that has asked him the same question like I do but doesn't that mean that they have seen him shirtless or maybe he -

I stop myself before my thought goes any further.

He stops the car because right now the traffic light is red, coincidently enough. "At that time, suddenly there was a fire inside the apartment I live, I don't remember where it comes from but I was able to save myself quickly along with several other people who lived in the same apartment as me. If you know it was an incident 4 years ago and happened at Star City. When I was saved, a mother cried saying that her child was still inside and without thinking, I ran into the building and tried to look for the child.

Luckily the smart child was already on the ground floor, but the child was trapped and surrounded by wood that had collapsed from the burning ceiling. He just sat and hugged his doll tightly with a crying and whimpering voice. His eyes are close so he didn't saw me at first so I have to talk to him first to make him realize and trust me. I manage to get the kid out but when I thought that we are finally able to get away the ceiling suddenly fall, unluckily, the iron edge falls and scratch my back. Good thing is that I manage to hold my stamina and get out of that building before passed out."

I was... amaze. Speechless at the same time as my mouth was close while my head is imagined the scenery. I mean him, a normal human, saving a child he doesn't know that is in a building on fire. He risks himself to help someone, risk his own life. He would make a great hero.

"Wow, I was expecting you to say something." As the light turns green and we start moving again.

I just shrug "I mean what you do is very heroic and that was very, you know, amazing. You would be a great hero one day." I look up at him in times where I could see him looking back at me a couple of times before saw the road again.

"What if- Just an if- I was one?"

"Why are you asking this question?"

"Just wondering..."

"Hmmm... I wonder too but I guess if you're a superhero then maybe we are in different scenarios." I say as my eyes move to the road too.

"In bad ways or good ways?"

I look back at him while he still taking every minute glance at me "Why do you ask this kind of question? Are you a superhero?" Of course, I was afraid of the answer that he will give me, if he is one of them then I have no choice but stop this friendship. He could bring me to Kid Flash and he would know about my past. He would doubt me.

"Of course not. Me? Hero? Psh ..."

"I would suggest that you one from your answer but I trust you."

We didn't talk for a while and just watch the road.

"Do you hate Kid flash?"

I look back at him, What with the sudden question? I thought but decided to answer him "No." I answer him. I mean, yeah, of course, I don't hate him, more like I lo-like him. I bit my lips.

"Then why you don't like we talk about him?"

"I just... don't want to."

After that, we didn't talk anymore so the journey filled with the sound of radio that I open because I can't take care of the silence in the car that happens for 4 minutes and that already makes me tick in just that little minutes. We did say goodbye and as always he did give me a lily flower. Let's leave the embarrassing part where he carries me in bridal style until we reach my sofa, I was one hundred-no- thousand sure that the landlady saw us.


I close my book and the first thing that caught my eyes is the necklace that Juliet holding in both of her open palms. My curiosity took over me as I walk toward Julie. The classroom is very quiet because it was already breakfast time and everyone is in another room taking breakfast together with the other child from the other room, well, except for Julie that is still here.

"What's wrong?" I sit in front of her. I could see the sad expression on her face.

She looks surprised and quickly look at me. Now that she lifts her head and her eyes were looking at me, I could see the worried that shown from her expression. As if she was deciding on what to do and what to say "Mmommy, Towld me that I shwould give thixs to Karrie," Isn't that a good thing? "Buwt I - I " Her eyes open wide in scared and she looks back at mine "I saw, thwis necklacwe will huwrt Karrie. I down't want that buwt Mommy says that I hwave to dwo it."

If you are a kindergarten teacher then you already get used to the wrong reading like this but sometimes I still need time to complete it. "That necklace will hurt Karrie and you don't want to give it but your mom said that you have to give it to Karrie?"

Juliet nodded.

"Why? What does this necklace do?" I look toward the necklace and the big pink gem with a shaped heart and the silver border.

"I down't know buwt it will hwurt Karrie." Now Julie's eyes are starting to watery as a hiccup coming out form her.

The gemstone from afar is not strange but if you really look closely you can see the flickering light that sometimes appears. I slowly touched the gemstone, confidently I thought that this was not fake but this was an authentic gemstone with a cold and hard surface.

"Can I have it?"

Juliet was shocked and shook her head with the word 'No' "Itws will hurwt you later."

"I'll be fine, calm down. We will keep this a secret from everyone including Karrie and your parents, is that okay?" Juliet nodded and I continued saying "Will you give me the necklace?" I opened my hand and waited for Julie to give me the necklace. Hopefully, I don't sound like someone who takes advantage of the situation.

Julie with a trembling hand gave me the necklace to my hand "Don't weayr it orw it will huwrt tweacher too."

I nodded understanding "Alright." I grasped the necklace and watched for a few more minutes before putting it in my jacket pocket and at the same time the door opened with Karrie's very loud voice.

"JULYET! FOUND YOU!"

Karrie quickly hugged Julie tightly "Where have you been? Why -" Karrie let go of her need to look into Juliet's eyes, she stopped saying when she saw Juliet's watery eyes. Karrie look shocked then back to see me "What hawppen to Juliet?" She looks back at Juliet back again and hugs her tightly "Down't cry."

Juliet hugs Karrie too. I smile and say, "Come on, let's go eat." I was still wondering what happens to them, what had happened till Juliet and Karrie become very close? did something happen outside the school?

Karrie nod and let go of Julie, I take out the tissue from my jacket and wipe the tear stain in her face. "Now, where are your smiles?" as my hands move to the beside Juliet's stomach to give it a little tickle. When she laughs I continue this for a whole minutes before I stop and smile "There is it. Now come on."

Karrie takes Juliet's hand. They both run toward the door then run in the hall. I just shake my head. Wow, that was fast, I thought. My smile was gone as I look down at my jacket pocket, I open a little gap so that I could see the necklace, sure as I said before, it was pretty.

From what Juliet did tell me, her mother must be the one that gave it to her and told her to give it to Karrie, somehow Juliet seems to know that the necklace is dangerous but what dangerous does this necklace do? Now that I thought about it I never meet her parents and always her bodyguard or caretaker but never her parents.

I take it out and watch the still flickering. I should ask someone about this, but...

A person did appear in my head and I'm sure she knows about these gems, but should I risk it?


See you guys in the next chappiee
