Second Generation
The Big Day-Or Night
"Stupid...stupid...stupid..."I muttered as I held up different outfits from my closet. I looked again at the one I had just thrown down. Foxy low riser jeans, and a white tank top. I pulled on the tank, and grabbed my pale blue zip hoody. It looked great. I took my hair out of its towel, and twisted it up into a messy bun.
'Knock-knock'"Can I come in?" Melinda asked. I rolled my eyes.
"Sure," I called. I turned down my Christina Aguilera CD. It was playing my currently favourite song, 'Infatuation'.
"Um, I don't understand this science. Moms busy with Mailee, and you had Mrs. Kossler in grade 7."
"What is it?" I asked not looking away from the mirror. I was busy with my eyeshadow.
"This abiotic-biotic thing. I have to classify a bunch of different objects."
'Oh yay,' I thought. "Read me the choices."
"Table-"
"Abiotic."
"Soil-"
"Abiotic?"
"Bugs. Wait. Biotic?"
"Yup."
"Wood-"
"Um...abiotic."
"Water-"
"Abiotic."
"Ok, thanks! I think I understand the rest. And by the way, your hair would look better down." I stared at my little sister.
She left and I went back to my eyes. I traced the inside of my lower lid with white eyeliner, and put a light pink eyeshadow on top. I took Melinda's advice and took my hair out and blow dried it. She was right. It did look better down. A slick of lipgloss and I was ready to go.
Suddenly, I heard a thump, and a scream from downstairs. I stood up and raced downstairs, because in this family, nothing could ever be put off. As I hit the end of the first flight of stairs, I heard a crash followed by another scream. I took the next flight two at a time.
I arrived at the bottom of the stairs. Standing over my mom, who was unconcious, and my little sister Mailee was a gorgeous woman with cold dark eyes. I stood frozen for a moment. She still hadn't seen me. I memorized her appearance, and the flicked my wrists. BAM! She was gone. I ran over to my sister and hugged her.
"Th-the evil lady, she sneaked up on- on mommy, and-and sended a stick over her head." Mailee bawled.
"DAD!!!" I called.
"Then the evil lady went for me but-but I orbed out of the way, and she-she hit Mommy's lamp instead. I screamed for-for Daddy." she sniffed.
"DAD!!" I started, just as he orbed in behind Mailee.
"What happened?" he asked. He saw Mom on the floor. "Piper!" he choked. He went over and got there just as Miranda and Melinda came flying down the stairs.
"What the heck was going on!?!?!?" Miranda gasped.
"Demon." I said shortly.
"Wait," Melinda said going over to Mom,"I want to heal her,"she explained looking at dad. She leaned over and put her hands over moms head. She concentrated hard. After a moment, a soft glow radiated from her hands. Mom started to stir. I smiled. This was my family alright.
"Where's the demon?!" my mom started.
"V-vanquished," Mailee stated.
"Who...?"
"Me." I said. "And now that we're alright, I have a DANCE to go to!"
"Oh, right. Um, Leo, can you orb her? I REALLY don't want to drive right now. I have a headache." Obviously Melinda wasn't THAT good yet.
Bright lights surrounded me and my Dad, and suddenly I was in the woods about half a block from my school.
"Thanks Dad." I gave him a hug and stepped back. He dissapeared in a swirl of orbs.
I headed to the school. Halfway there I saw Mark standing outside the school. I walked calmly over to him, but my heart was beating hard.
"Hey," he said smoothly. He was holding a single red rose. "You look- you look very pretty."
I blushed. "Thanks," he handed me the rose, and we went inside the school. As I entered the gym, I saw all my friends. Jamie, Lindsay, Ashley, and Leah. And the boys. They were all dancing right up near the speakers, that were blasting Pink's 'Get the Party Started', and the smoke machine, disco lights swirling.
"Wanna dance?" I asked.
"Sure," we went over to my friends. I alternated dancing with my girls and Mark. Matt and Ricky were dancing with Lindsay and Jamie. Ashley was glancing shyly at Justin, and he was doing his best not to look at her. I laughed.
"Justin! Get your butt over there and dance with Ash!" I yelled over the music.
He made a face at me, and marched up to Ashley. He gave a goofy bow and said something that made Ashley laugh. They started dancing.
I leaned over to Jamie and pointed at Leah who was on the other side of Jamie. Her and Torsten were making out. Me and Jamie laughed. Jamie hollered at Leah,"You know there are PDA rules!"
Leah took her lips off Toasts and blushed. We all laughed.
We danced all night, and there was the occasional slow song. Man, Mark was a GOOD dancer. Ricky on the other hand looked like he had two left feet. Poor Jamie.
Finally the dance was over. The DJ came on the mic over the music and said: "One last song, as a request." He turned on 'Cry' by Mandy Moore. I groaned. I hated this song. Mark put his hands around my waist, and we danced. As the song ended, he whispered to me.
"Do you know what the best way to end a dance is?"
I looked up slightly at him,"No."
He leaned in close, and kissed me softly. At first I was really surprised. Then, I kissed him back. As the music faded he drew away.
"I know now," I said smiling.
As we all left the gym, Leah came over to me. "We're all going for ice cream. Wanna come?"
I looked up at Mark.
"Sure," he shrugged.
"Ok. I have to be home in an hour though."
We all walked down to the Dairy Queen, just a few blocks from the school. Leah's mom picked us up and took us home. Before I left, though, Mark said to me.
"That was fun. I'll call you later?"
"Sure. It was fun wasn't it. Thanks."
"I still think I need help with Math though." he joked.
"ANY time," I laughed.
Did you like it? Huh? See that little purple button? Reviews are welcome. Thanks for reading and I'll update soon.
