The next morning Emily awoke to a soft prodding, she cracked one eye open to see the lights on above her head, she hissed and quickly closed her eyes again, yanking the covers over her head.
"What's with you?" an annoyed voice sounded above her. Suddenly she felt her duvet being ripped away from her. She shrieked and bolted up in her bed, blinded by the sudden light. There was a chinking sound and the lights flickered and then plunged the room into darkness. Emily could then open her eyes in the comforting darkness.
"Um what was that?" she asked cautiously.
"You shorted the fuses out" a voice said matter-of-factly from the other side of the room.
"Oh...wait I did? How did I do it?" she asked confused. She squinted in the dark to make out Raven sat on her bed watching her.
"You'll see what I mean, just close your eyes and think for the light to come back on" she sighed.
"How's that gunna work?" Emily said in disbelief, "That's just stupid!"
"Then do it and prove me wrong" Raven shot back.
"I will!" she closed her eyes and wished for the light to come back on. She opened her eyes and blinked in surprise to see the room will with light.
"T-they must have fixed the fuses or something" she stammered, kinda freaked out by what had just happened. She closed her eyes and turned the lights back off. She almost fell off her bed in shock when she realised it was her that was doing it.
"Hey this is fun, freaky but fun!" she chirped, turning the lights on and off until Riah moaned from under her covers about someone leaving the light switched alone.
"How did you know about this?" she walked over to Raven and sat down beside her on the bed.
"You have the power of electricity" she stated, "I couldn't sleep last night and then you started talking in your sleep, it made me realise. And then I found this on my desk" she held out her hand, there in the palm was another necklace like Raven's own. In the centre of the glass orb there was a miniature lightning bolt.
"What was I doing in my sleep?" Emily tentatively took it from her hand and stared at it for a moment, "it's pretty" she muttered, holding it back out to the black haired girl.
"It's yours! Oh you were muttering random things, your hair was standing up on end from static shock, oh and you managed to turn you stereo on" Raven beamed at the confused looking girl.
"Wow...tI don't think I've ever done any of that stuff before...thanks for the necklace!" Emily cried, looping the pendant around her neck and enveloping the smaller girl in a hug.
"Um, Ems...I can't breathe" Raven rasped, Emily quickly let go and apologised.
"Do you have an element?" the orange haired teen asked.
"I do, ice" Raven nodded, "watch" she held out her hand and Emily watched in amazement as water seemed to run from nowhere down Raven's long fingers, forming into a pool in her palm. Raven clenched her fist around the liquid and her hand glowed a soft white light, the glow died away and she slowly opened her hand to reveal a small block of ice with sharp jagged edges. Emily's eyes grew wide as Raven dropped the freezing object into her palm.
"Uh...what day is it?" a voice groaned from the corner, Raven and Emily turned their heads to see a lump moving around under the pale green covers of the bed in the opposite corner to Hannah. The covers slid away to reveal a disgruntled looking Hilary in pale pink bed shorts and vest top.
"Sunday, Hil" Emily sighed, "so you don't need to worry, you haven't overslept"
"Oh good" the brunette murmured, snuggling back down into her covers.
Suddenly, the bathroom door crashed open and a startled Yushi fell through it, landing in a heap on the floor. "Ok...ow!" she wailed.
"What the-" a head of tousled pink hair appeared over the top of the covers as Riah sat up in shock. She scrambled out of her bed and across to the wailing girl, soothing her cries of pain. She looked very confused when Yushi broke down into a fit of giggles.
"Bah, you're too serious Riah, I only whacked my foot on the door frame" the laughing girl choked out in gasps.
"I'll show you how serious I am you fiend!" Riah cried in mock anger, she seized a pillow from her bed and held it out in front of her like a sword, "I challenge you to a duel!" she announced, her head held up high!
"Challenge accepted" Yushi grinned, grabbing a scarlet pillow off her bed, and hit Riah over the head with it. The pink haired girl gasped and hit back, they were yelling and giggling like crazy while swinging the make shift swords. Suddenly there was a ripping sound and the red pillow exploded into a huge cloud of white feathers.
"Wheee! It's snowing!" Yushi squealed, twirling around in the falling feathers, she grabbed Riah's hands and spun her around with her. Raven and Emily exchanged a glance and charged head first into the impending whiteness with a yell like a battle cry. All of them collapsed into a fit of laughter. They all danced and spun in the soft fall of feathers.
"Do I even want to know what happened?" Came a voice from the doorway. They peered through the falling feathers to see a certain red haired boy with a purple bandanna stood leaning against the door frame, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
"Johnny!" Yushi ran over to the boy and grabbed his hand, trying to pull him into the mess. "Come dance!" she cried, tugging on his arm.
"Um, no thanks Yush, but another time definitely" he grinned at the smaller girl who let go and wandered back into the now thinned cloud of floating feathers.
He cast a glance over the four girls stood in their pyjamas in middle of the room, white feathers stuck in their hair and on their bed clothes. He raised one eyebrow quizzically.
"Don't ask" stated Mariah, "Anyway, what are you doing here?"
"Well I-" Johnny was cut off as a blur of blonde streaked past him and into the room.
"FEATHERS!!!!!!!!" the blur yelled, running around the four girls in circles, delighting in the drifting feathers.
"Calm down Maxie, bloody hell!" Hilary yelled from her bed, she looked quite small, propped up in her bed, surrounded by huge pink and green cushions.
The blur slowed to reveal a bright eyed Max Tate grinning ecstatically at everyone.
A stray feather chose this moment to land on Emily's nose, making her sneeze and fall backwards, she squeezed her eyes shut and waited to hit the floor with a bump, but she didn't. She landed on something soft and warm, she slowly opened one eye to see Max grinning down at her.
"Bless you" he smiled, "You ok?" she couldn't speak, so she just nodded, she wondered if anyone had ever told him how intense his eyes were.
"A-n-y-way...we just wanted to know if you were interested in the kayaking that's going on at the lake??" Johnny sighed from the door.
"Sure, just give us about fifteen minutes and we'll be down" Raven said loudly
"That long?" Johnny pouted.
"Yes that long, unless you want us to come down in our pyjamas" Yushi poked him in the chest and stared up defiantly at him.
This brought a smirk to the Scottish teen's lips, "well, I wouldn't complain..." He trailed off, "where's the vampire princess?"
"Who...oh Hannah, why she's right over...there..." she trailed off after noting that Hannah's bed was empty.
"She went out ages ago" Raven said, wandering over to her bed and getting her clothes out of the wardrobe.
"God she must have been up early" Riah mused to herself.
"No about nine o'clock" Raven said while reaching under her bed for her shoes.
"Nine?! What time is it now?!" Emily near yelled at the small black haired girl.
"Almost eleven" Raven sighed looking at her clock.
"WHAT!?!" Hilary shot out of her bed at an alarming rate, she got up so fast her head spun and she collapsed on to the floor, "ow..." she moaned from the other side of the bed, "head rush"
Yushi started to usher the boys out of the room so that they could get dressed, Raven ran to help Hilary out of the heap on the floor and Emily just stood in the middle of the room with a stunned expression on her face.
Riah snuck up behind Emily and wrapped her arms around the still girl's shoulders, "I think someone's crushing!" she cried in a sing-song voice.
"Am not!" Emily broke out of her stance and crossed her arms huffily across her chest, though her cheeks exploded into a million shades of red. She walked quickly to her wardrobe, flinging the doors open to view her reflection in the mirror on the inside of the door.
She looked in dismay at her flushed face, baggy bed shorts and vest and tousled, feather filled hair. She was a mess. Dragging a brush through the unruly orange locks she managed to get her hair to lie flat, dragging a pair of pale green crop trousers over her legs and a baggy orange t-shirt over the swimming costume that she had pulled on. She pulled her glasses of the shelf and perched them on her nose. She was ready.
She shut her wardrobe door to see her four friends stood in the middle of the room. Riah was dressed in her hot pink tankini with a pair of pale pink hot pants and a matching vest top. Yushi had a scarlet cozzie under a white t-shirt and a pair of adidas shorts. Hilary was dress like Mariah but in pale yellow and orange colours
Raven was stood a little apart from the group, tugging at her clothes nervously. She was adorned in an icy blue bikini with a pair of dark blue pedal pushers and a white camisole.
"Fucking stupid Hiwatari, buying stupid clothes" she muttered under her breathe while yanking at the camisole.
"What's up Rave?" Hilary asked
"Stupid Blue Boy, making me buy a stupid bikini" she yelled, deafening her friends.
"Well I think it's nice" Riah ventured bravely, noting the sour look the small teens face.
"Well yeah I mean it but it's just not me" Raven sighed in defeat, "but I guess I'll have to wear it, it's not like I have anything else"
"Ah, good point" Yushi nodded solemnly, "LETS GO!" she screamed and raced out of the dorm, closely followed by her room mates laughing and giggling all the way.
-*-
Now that they were all stood at the lakeside, 15 minutes later, watching the small boats bob up and down in the water, Raven had the sinking feeling that she had never been kayaking before. She watched the other girls pull their lifejackets over their heads and the spray decks up their legs.
After about 10 minutes Raven was sat in a small white kayak, bobbing up and down nervously. She glanced around her, watching everyone else go speeding off to the other side of the lake.
"You don't know what to do, do you?" a unfamiliar voice said from behind her, she pushed her kayak around with her paddle to see a boy with vibrant green eyes stood in the water behind her. He had black spiky hair with a streak of red running through the centre.
She shook her head slowly, "No, I've never done this before"
"Want a free lesson?" he smiled at her and walked over to her boat through the shallow water. She nodded ecstatically, "please!" she said eagerly, earning a grin from the new boy.
"Name's Ozuma" he said, holding a hand out to her, she took it gladly and shook it, "Raven" her boat began to rock with the sudden movement and she grabbed the nearest steady thing around. Unfortunately for her, the only steady object happened to be Ozuma.
She blushed furiously when she realised she was holding onto him as though her very life depended on it. A deep chuckle sounded from the boy as he gently eased the stricken girl's hands off him.
"I think you're going to need more than one lesson" he laughed, she scowled at him for laughing at her.
"My what a mean face" he said in mock horror, causing her to burst into a fit of giggles.
He began to teach her the basics of kayaking, she got the hang of it pretty swiftly.
"Ok, now we gotta capsize you" he laughed at her horrified expression, "don't worry, you won't be underwater for more than 5 seconds at the most"
She grudgingly agreed and let him roll her boat over, she waited and then reached out of the water and banged on the bottom of the boat three times. Ozuma then gently rolled the boat back upright. Raven spat out a mouthful of water as soon as she surfaced and opened her eyes to see Ozuma watching her.
"What? It tastes disgusting!" she cried.
"Now you've gotta be able to get out of the boat yourself, when your underwater, bang three times, then pull the spray deck off and slide out of the boat" he said slowly, making sure she took in every word. She nodded and rolled her boat over.
She waited and banged on the bottom of the boat and went to pull off her spray deck. She couldn't find the safety catch and started to panic, she started banging on the boat frantically, she was running out of breath.
Suddenly a pair of strong arms reached out to her and wrapped around her waist, with one strong pull she was ripped out of the spray deck and surfaced spluttering and coughing water from her lungs. She was held above the water, while she sucked in oxygen as though it was running out. She opened her eyes to see a certain shark fin tattooed boy glaring daggers at her new friend.
"Are you trying to kill her already Santura!" Kai spat at the smaller boy.
"No, I was merely teaching her how to kayak, that in my eyes, is not the same as trying to kill someone" Ozuma answered calmly.
"Couldn't you see she was in trouble?!" Kai said desperately.
"Well Kai, I'm amazed, the great Kai caring about someone other than himself, enough to dive in after them" Ozuma smirked.
Raven look confusedly at Kai, before realising that he had indeed dived straight in after her, fully clothed and still with shoes on. Did he care that much?
"I apologise for this small mishap, Miss Raven, I hope we can still be friends" he gave Raven a small smile, and she blushed slightly at him addressing her that way, she gave a small nod and turned her face towards Kai as he began to stride towards the bank with her in his arms.
He reached out and laid her on the bank before hoisting himself out of the water, she glanced over his shoulder to see that Ozuma was gone.
"Um, Kai?" she started.
"What?" he said coldly, keeping his back to her.
She flinched under his hard stare, "I just wanted to thank you for getting me out in there"
"I would've done it for anyone" he said simply, this made her heart sink into the pit of her stomach. He didn't care about her at all, he just did what he had to do.
"But still, you didn't have to scare him off!" she scolded the blue haired boy.
He rounded on her and seized her by the shoulders, "If I were you, I'd stay as far away from Ozuma Santura as possible! It's not worth getting hurt by him!" he said harshly, staring directly into her ice blue eyes.
-*Raven's POV*-
What the hell did he mean by that? He's not a bad person, I'm going to show Kai that Ozuma is not a bad person, I will prove it! When he finally let go of my shoulders, there were white marks to show just how tight he had been holding me.
"Kai, I'm trying to make as many friends as possible, so you need to stop scaring them away!" I yell at him.
"Ozuma doesn't have a trust-worthy bone in his body!" he yelled back, "He's not worth it!"
"Why do you even care, Kai?!" I snap at him, immediately regretting the words that leave my mouth.
He opened his mouth to bite something back but no words left his lips, a wave of emotions swept across his face. Confusion. Anger. Sadness. I could tell that he had no idea what to say, but then again neither did I. To prevent myself looking even more of a fool, I walked away from him as fast as I could, heading towards the tall foreboding building.
-*Normal POV*-
Kai watched her walk away from him, he was mentally kicking himself.
-*Kai's POV*-
Why do I care?
