"Oh Michael," Maria groaned.
"Maria."
By now Michael had her shirt off and she was in her bra and skirt. Michael
and Maria had snuck out of their dorm rooms late at night to meet in their
'secret' room in the attic (although they weren't the only ones who knew
about.)
Liz and Alex also knew about the secret room. The four would sneak off during their brakes to the secret room to get away. Over the years they had been at the boarding school they had stolen 2 old couches that had been put behind the school that were no longer useful to the staff. They took a beat up mattress to the room and ever so often they stole some canned food from the cafeteria. It was cozy and it had turned into their own little home away from home.
"Oh Michael, Michael. You always know exactly how to push my buttons." Maria moaned under her breath. "Shh," Michael whispered turning his head toward the door. "What?" Maria was disappointed that he had stopped. "Did you here something?" Michael was concerned that someone had followed them up there. "No, you're just imagining it. Now come on and focus here!" Maria exclaimed trying t get him to turn his attention back on her.
All of a suddon Maria heard a creaking noise and the door was slowly opening. Maria dove for her shirt and her and Michael hid behind one of the couches.
The door opened and a petite figure with long brown hair stepped into the room. "Maria," she whispered. "Michael, are you guys in here?
Michael looked over at Maria who had a relieved look occupying her face. He just looked annoyed. They stood up from behind the couch and were face to face with one of their best friends Liz Parker.
"Liz, what the hell are you doing here?" Michael whispered with a hint of rage hidden in his voice.
"I could say the same to you." Liz whispered in mock anger. "I came here looking for Alex."
"Why what's wrong Liz?" Maria asked suspiciously.
"I went to Michael and Alex's room because I needed to talk to Alex and the door was unlocked so I went in. I had a feeling Michael wouldn't be there 'cause you weren't in our room. And when I walked inside he wasn't there!" Liz whispered in horror.
"Oh my god!" Maria gasped. "Well where could he be, what happened to him, what if somebody kidnapped him?" Maria spoke so fast she lost her breath.
"Shh, it's ok Maria I'm sure there's got to be some logical explanation for this." Michael tried to knock some sense in her. Who was he kidding, he was flipping out to he just wouldn't let them see it.
"Well we should go look for him." Michael concluded.
"Where do we start though, I mean he could be anywhere." Liz complained.
"I'll start by looking in the washrooms and you guys search anywhere and everywhere he likes to go to be alone, ok?"
"Yeah sure," they both said in unison.
Liz and Maria searched every nook and cranny of the place but there was no sign of him. "Where could he be?" Maria asked. She was so scared for her friend.
"Maybe we should go back up to the loft. And on our way we'll go by his room just to make he didn't go back there, ok?" Liz suggested.
Maria nodded her head slowly in agreement and followed Liz. He wasn't in his room so they headed back to the loft. As they walked in they saw Michael leaning over something that appeared to be a body in the middle of the floor. As they neared they realized the body was Alex.
"Oh my god!" Maria screamed, quickly covering her mouth after realizing she was too loud and she could get them into trouble.
"Is he ok Michael?" Liz asked bluntly, taking in the sight of one of her best friends lying unconscious on the floor.
"He'll be ok, yeah. When I found him he was in the third floor bathroom puking his guts out then he just passed out." Michael whispered in a calm voice so as to not scare the two petite girls now kneeling next to him.
"Oh thank god," Maria whispered happily.
"We should go back to our rooms before someone hears us." Liz stated. They had been making quite a bit of noise.
"Yeah we probably should. You guys want to help me carry Alex down to my room?" Michael looked up at Maria then Liz making his best puppy dog face.
"Fine, whatever," they said in mock annoyance.
The next day Alex woke up with an intense headache. Michael was sitting on his bed already dressed.
"What happened last night? How did I get here?" Alex asked rubbing his temples.
"Well I found in the bathroom puking then you fainted." Michael stated bluntly.
"Oh, ok. So how are the girls?" Alex asked seductively.
"They're worried sick about you, but other than that? There good." Michael smirked.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in, it's open." Michael said knowing who it was.
"Oh god Alex." Liz and Maria gasped in unison rushing over to his bed.
"Are you ok?" Liz asked worriedly.
"Yeah I'm fine." Alex said trying to get them off his back. He just couldn't handle there constant nagging to make sure he was fine.
There was another knock on the door.
"Just a second," Michael called out giving everyone in the room a confused stare. Who could that be? He thought.
"Ah good you're all here." Head mistress Daniels stated marching into the room. "There are two new students arriving today, a boy and a girl. They're siblings. Since you four all have three person rooms, I would like you to take them into your rooms. No if ands or buts." She said bluntly. " They will be arriving around noon so I am giving you the afternoon off to show them around and help them get aquainted to the school. Meet me in my office at noon sharp. Thank you." And with that she turned on her heels and marched out, closing the door behind her.
The four teens were stunned. They gave each other worried looks. Everyone was speechless. Finally one of them spoke up. "Ok, this is bad. What if something happens and they see something they shouldn't see?" Maria asked worriedly.
"We'll just have to be extra careful around them then." Alex stated calmly.
"How can you be so calm, Alex?" Michael blurted out. "This could destroy our entire existence and you're just sitting there like some statue?" Michael was obviously in one of his the world is going to end because of something this tiny, moods. There was no way to knock him out of it until he could realize for himself that they weren't in any real danger.
"Oh calm down Michael." Liz whispered. "If you keep acting like this you're the one who is going to expose you guys."
"Yeah, ok whatever lets just go to class. We're already late." Maria pointed out. They all stood up and walked out the door to their classes and Alex stayed behind to get dressed. Michael waited outside the room for him.
"Hey Alex, do you really think it will be ok? I mean they're complete strangers whom we know nothing about and we have to share rooms with them." Michael blurted out.
"If we hold back on using our powers while they're around then we should be fine." Alex cleared his throat, trying to get his point across. "Yeah ok I guess I can try to do that. But it will be hard."
"Yeah well, you don't have to use your powers 24/7 you know."
"Obviously, but I'm used to being able to use them frequently when I'm in our room. Now I'll have to try and not do that even in the privacy of our room. It just sucks."
"Yeah I know, but you'll get used to it. So just be patient and you'll see that everything will turn out alright."
"Whatever." Michael said in a huff as he stormed off in the direction of his class.
