Just Friends Right?

by K6r7a

They were just friends right? Thought Antonio as he thought about Celia. She was his friend. He'd met her at his candle cermony. Her beatiful Brown eyes that sparkle under the night sky like all the stars do. But he can't have a crsuh on his best friend. It's bad right? And she's just a friend right?

2. FEELINGS AND A REASON

CELIA AND ANTONIO WERE HANGING OUT AND ANTONIO WENT TO HIS ROOM TO GET ANIMALS HE WANTED TO SHOW HER. ONCE HE WAS OUT OF SIGHT CELIA USED HER TIME TO USE HER POWER TO WASH HER FACE. SHE HATES IT WHEN SHE FEELS DRY. CELIA THOUGHT IF ANTONIO WAS GONNA BE GONE FOR A BIT SHE MIGHT AS WELL PLAY AROUND WITH HER POWERS. SHE MADE A WAVE OF WATER THAT HSE WAS CONTROLING WITH HER MAGIC. SHE MADE IT BEND AND GO PLACES. THIS WAS HER FAVORITE MOVE. LITTLE DID SHE KNOW ANTONIO HAD BEEN WATCHING THE WHOLE TIME.

ANTONIO SAW HIS FRIEND MAKE THINGS BEFORE HIS EYES OUT OF WATER. HE BLINKED TWICE TO MAKE SURE HE WASN'T DREAMING. AND HE WASN'T! BUT HE WAS SURELY WOWED. HE COULDN'T BELIVE HIS EYES! HIS FRIEND THAT HE MET LIKE YESTERDAY HAD A POWER! SHE WAS JUST LIKE HIM.

AS SOON AS CELIA WAS DONE DOING HER THING SHE LOOKED AT THE STAIRS AND HER SMILE FADED TO A FROWN. HER FRIEND ANTONIO STOOD THERE WITH HIS MOUTH OPEN. SHE FELT SHY AND ASHMED SO SHE JIUST RAN OUT OF THERE WITHOUT LOOKING BACK. '' CELIA WAIT!'' YELLED ANTONIO. HOPING HIS FRIEND WOULD HEAR HIM. BUT CELIA WIPED HER TEARS AND RAN HOME. SEEING AS ONLY HER SISTER DANIELA WAS HOME AND SLEEPING IN HER ROOM SHE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT WHEN SHE SHUT THE DOOR AND LET THE TEARS FALL. SHE FEARED SHE HAD JUST LOST HER ONLY FRIEND.

CELIA LAID AWAKE IN HER BED. IT WAS MORNING. THE FIVE YEAR OLD MESSAGED HER HEAD. HER DARK CURLES IN HER HAND. SHE GROANED BECAUSE SHE REMEMBERED THAT ANTONIO HAD SEEN HER USING HER POWERS. SHE COULDN'T BE SEEN BY HIM. WHAT IF HE HATED HER? WHAT IF HE THOUGHT SHE WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THIS? BACK AT HOME WHEN SHE HAD MADE FRIENDS SHE WAS EXPECTED TO TELL THEM EVERYTHING BECAUSE THAT WAS THE THING THAT FRIENDS DID MAYBE SHE THOUGHT TO HERSELF. CELIA HAD COME HERE LOOKING FOR A FRESH START. ALL SHE HAD RIGHT NOW WAS HER BIRD FRIEND TO TALK TO NOW. JUST SUDDENLY SHE HEARD A LOUD BANG. AND WITH THAT SHE WENT LOOKING OUTSIDE HER WINDOW. HER EYES WIDDENED WHEN SHE SAW THE MADRIGAL HOUSE. IT WAS IN CRUMBLES. WHAT ABOUT THE MADRIGALS? WERE THEY OKAY? CELIA ALREADY HAD ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH SO SHE JUST WHEN BACK TO SLEEP.

CELIA WAS WOKEN UP TO SEE HER FATHER SHAKING HER SOFTLY. '' SWEETIE, WAKE UP.'' HE SAID. CELIA WOKE UP. SHE SAW HER FATHER TELLING HER TO CHANGE. HE TOLD HER THEY WERE GONNA GO TO THE MADRIGALS TO HELP THEM REBUILD THEIR HOME. SO CELIA CHANGED AND RAN DOWNSTAIRS WITH HER FAMILY. CELIA RAN UP TO THE HOUSE. CELIA FOLLOWED HER FATHER AROUND FEELING SHY. JUST HER LUCK WHEN SHE SAW THAT HER FATHER WAS WALKING UP TO ALMA. AND TO HER SIDE WAS ANTONIO. NO!

CELIA SHUDDRED NERVIUOSLY AS ANTONIO'S GAZE WENT TO HER. CELIA FELT UNEASY. '' CELIA.'' HE SAID SOFTLY AS SOON AS HIS ABUELA AND HER FATHER WENT OFF TO THEIR OWN THING AND HIM AND CELIA WERE LEFT ALONE. '' I'M SORRY. ANTONIO. I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU MY SECRET. I JJST. I JUST FEEL SO UNEASY BECAUSE WHAT IF THIS TOWN THINKS I'M DANGEROUS. ANTONIO NOW REALIZED WHY HIS FRIEND RAN AWAY FROM HIM. '' CELIA. YOU DO NOT HAVFE TO FEEL ASHAMED. I EAN MY FAMILY IS MAGICAL TOO. AND WHENEVER I GO TO TOWN NOBODY MINDS THAT I HAVE A JAGUAR.'' SAID ANTONIO. CELIA NOW FELT MORE EASY WITH THIS DESITION. '' OKAY. FROM NOW ON WE TELL EACH OTHER THINGS TO HELP EACH OTHER.'' SAID CELIA SMILING. ANTONIO LIKED THAT IDEA AND HELD OUT HIS PINKY. ''PROMISE.'' SAID ANTONIO. '' PROMISE.'' SAID CELIA AS SHE SHOOK HER PINKY FOR HIM TO SHAKE.

THE REST OF THE DAY SHE SAW HER FAMILY GETTING TO KNOW THE MADRIGALS. HER BIG BROTHER WAS WITH THE NEW ISABELA, THE STRONG LUISA WAS WITH DANIELA, AND MARISOL WAS WITH A CERTAIN SHAPESHIFTER. AND CELIA WAS WITH ANTONIO.
