Part 13
Dear Diary,
Now what have I done? I'm used to whispers behind my back when I pass by, but normally it was from Leandra and the Bitch Squad. This time it was coming from Nia and her friends. They'd never so much as glanced at me before, as far as I know, anyway.
*Now* it seems they're everywhere I turn - or they were after lunch, today, anyway. I don't know why, I'd left the cafeteria, I saw them coming out, practically running Why, I don't know. I wasn't there. I already knew the story that Rylan told Sephra. I didn't want to hear it again.
The memory of it is enough. Apparently warnings weren't enough to scare Sephra away from Rylan. For some reason she and Leandra were starting to become friends...
I am *not* jealous. Sephra has made it pretty clear she can't stand me. She was mean and snotty and....
No. No. NO. Not going there. Not.
What did I do to piss of Nia and her friends. Ever since they'd run out...their constant hovering around me is really getting on my nerves. Why can nobody just come straight out and *say* what they want to?
They were all looking like they had some sort of news, something to tell me but they weren't sure how I'd react to it.
They need to get over themselves. Just tell me.
How odd.
I suddenly feel very cold...

"How are we going to tell her?" Enya asked. "We can't exactly walk up to the girl and say, by the way, are you a dragon?"
Nia sighed. She was already convinced she knew who the dragon was. To her, it was obvious. Ross didn't seem to be convinced. He didn't believe them and said they needed solid proof before he would believe anything.
Nia often wondered what he was doing in Circle Daybreak. He didn't seem like most of the other Daybreakers she'd met.
"I don't know," she said finally. Because the final decision had been her idea, it had fallen to Nia to fill in the blanks on the rest of the plan - the biggest being how did they break the news?
"No, the *biggest* blank is are we *right*?" Zelda pointed out.
Nia glared. "Keep *out* of my mind."
Zelda flushed. "Sorry, but you were projecting."
Nia wasn't too keen on the idea of working with vampires, but generally, Zelda could be trusted.
"She's got a point," Enya said with a frown. "We're all pretty sure. But what if we're wrong?"
The dreaded "what-ifs." Nia didn't know. "Maybe there's some sort of test we should do," she said carefully, an idea starting to form.
The other exchanged glances. Before anyone said anything, they really did need to have concrete proof they had the right person. "I guess Ross was right after all," she muttered moodily.
Zelda snorted. "Don't tell him that."
Nia chuckled dryly. "I guess. Just because someone's a little weird doesn't automatically make them a dragon."
Enya's eyebrow raised. "If that were the case, then the world would be over run with them!"
Nia began to wonder, if they were *right* and the dragon was awakened, and power was discovered, who said that the dragon would be on their side?
This was far too complicated for her liking. She supposed most agents faced with this situation would feel the same way.
"So we need a plan if we're going to try and get the dragon to wake up," Zelda said finally.
Nia frowned. She wasn't too sure this would, work, but it was the only thing she could think of. "I have a bad idea..."
