One Month Later
Mark and I went on the occasional date, but we really just saw eachother at school. The dates were really low key, movies in a group, once to the Dairy Queen with Ash and Justin. Nothing serious, and my mom didn't really care or ask too many questions
I started to get busier with school and swim club. Mark and I saw eachother every day at school, and because he lived near to me, we tried to at least meet at the park once every weekend. That didn't work. We kept having to phone eachother to say we were too busy.
One day when I was waiting for his call, the phone rang. I practically jumped on it.
"Hi," I said trying to sound flirty.
"Hello, is this Melissa?" said a woman's voice.
"Yes." I said blushing a little at my flub.
"It's Suzanne,"she's my swim coach.
"Hi!"
"Can you come down to the pool as soon as possible? It's not an emergency, we're just having a meeting."
"OK, I'll try. Do you want me to call my cousins?"
"Thanks, that would be so helpful. I'll see you soon."
"Bye," I said and hung up the phone.
"MOM!" I called up the stairs.
She appeared at the top of the stairs a moment later. "What?" she asked.
"I have to go to the pool for a meeting. Suzanne just called. I have to call Jaz, Jen, and Adam too."
"Ok, well, how about this. I let you orb over to their house. I know it's magic for personal gain, but I think you need practice. Do you think you can handle it?"
"OH REALLY!" I exclaimed. I can't believe she was letting me do this. "I can do it." I said confidently.
"I'll see you back here in about 15 minutes, or you will be in trouble."
"See ya!" I said, and I concentrated, and orbed out. I appeared in the kitchen at my Auntie Paige's. She walked into the room.
"OH!" she said, jumping a little,"What are you doing here?" she asked, startled.
"There's a meeting at the pool, and I came to get the twins!" I said.
"Oh, Piper finally let you orb?"
"Yeah,"
"I always thought she should have been letting you orb for awhile now."
"Finally someone who agrees with me!" I said half-joking.
"Go get them, tell them I said they could orb over to your house on their own."
"They'll be so happy!"
I ran up the stairs.
"HI!!" I said as I walked through the open door of the twins room.
"Hey!" Jaz said as she spun around on the floor looking up from her scrapbook.
"Why are you here?" asked Jen.
"We have a meeting at the pool." I said.
"Alright! Why didn't you say so!" Impatient Jazmin said jumping off the floor.
"Your mom said you could orb over to my house."
"Wicked!" Jen said. She grabbed her towel and swim suit off the wall hooks, and threw Jaz's at her.
"To Aunt Phoebes!" I said.
They started to orb out. I followed quickly. I arrived shortly after in Auntie Phoebe's kitchen, right behind the twins.
"Let's go get Adam!" Jen said quietly.
"HI EVERYBODY!" Jaz yelled.
"JAZ!" Jen and I scolded laughing. A holler came from upstairs, followed by running down the stairs.
Aaron was running down the stairs followed by Phoebe.
"Get back here you little monster!" she said laughing.
Aaron laughed like a hyena, and continued to escape. I froze Aaron as a joke, and Phoebe nearly ran into him.
"Whoa!" she said laughing. "Unfreeze my son!"
We all laughed as I flicked my wrists. I loved this magic. We got Adam with much protest, as he was playing his Nintendo.
~*~*~*~AT THE POOL~*~*~*~
"Hi!" we said as we greeted our swim friends. They were all waiting in the lobby when Mom dropped us off.
"Hey," my friend Leslie said quietly,"SHHH. We're trying to see what they're talking about in there."
Nicolle had her ear pressed against the door,"It's no use, I can't hear a thing."
Suddenly, the door swung open, and Nicolle fell on the floor.
"Hi,"she said sheepishly, looking up at Suzanne.
"Hi Nicolle. Guess what everyone!"
We all looked at her, holding our breath. This had to be big.
"We're going to the Nationals!"
Well, I know this probably wasn't a very great Chapter, but it has something important to do with the next chapter. i'll post again ASAP.
