"Cecilia, I don't think this was such a good idea, I mean they were probably just being nice, right?" I asked her worriedly.
We were sitting under the school at the transports where Derrel had told Cecilia that we would all meet. I guess there were also gonna be four other kids. Cecilia was in her pink halter and jean skirt that accented her pink eyes. I was in jeans and a lavender purple tube top.
"Yeah I'm sure, just relax. You don't want to lose control tonight, besides there they are." she said pointing over to where a group of kids were.
Derrick in a black muscle shirt waved to us next to him was Derrel in painterpants and a white wifebeater.
Walking over, the group introduced themselves. The girl with the green pigtails in a light red miniskirt and white top called herself Taria, her "gift" is being able to grow plants and have vines shoot out of her hands. A boy with the red hair that controlled flame and called himself Roy was wearing a jersey and jeans. And then there were two other people besides Derrel and Derrick they appeared to be twins but one wore all dark and the other wore all white. They called themselves Claris and John, Claris was in white and John was in dark.
"Well, since introductions are done lets go" Derrick said looking at me then leading the way
On the transport the conversation led to the girl I had heard about but not seen. Apparently she had gone to Hawaii the day after school started.
"Ya know it really will be funny when Tiffany comes back" replied Taria as we talked about school
"Yeah I guess for some people" muttered Derrick with a grimace
Laughing she continued
"Yep and of course you'll get a personal complaint from her" at that comment everyone started laughing, me not getting it asked what they meant
"Well ya see Crystalia Tiffany has the hots for Derrick and has a really bad jealous streak" said Roy
"So your saying I gotta deal with her in order to stay at the school"
"Yep sounds about right." they all said in unison smiling at the idea
Screeeeeeeeechhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
At club later on
"Wow!"
I said breathing heavily from dancing. We had made it to the club earlier and finally had gotten some water at the slow song. As the music started back up again we went back onto the dance floor. The neon lights flashing, the beats of the music consumed us and then I felt him. Derrick had started dancing with me. Our bodies close to each other sweat running down our bodies, moving to the beat. At that moment all our differences disappeared and he whispered in my hear
"I want to kiss you"
Not sure what to say I turned my head. Lips met and the sensation was huge, his lips so soft against mine pressed so gently, we stopped dancing then and just kissed in the middle of everything.
CRASH!
Startled we both looked up. The room was shifting and glass was breaking from the skylights, realizing what I had done I changed it all back. Unfortunately people had noticed the changing and had run out screaming. Getting out of his arms I ran out just as the other kids found him. In the alley I breathed in and out, locking up all my emotions.
"Crystalia, Crystalia where are you? I know you're out here. Answer me" he yelled
"I'm right here, what do you want?"
Derricks view
"I want you to come back inside, its cold out."
"No!" she said with defiance. Looking at me with no emotion, like usual.
"Why not, nobody knows it was you and know one got injured"
"Yeah but do see what happens, No! I can't I need to go back to the tower"
"But why?" I ask seeing her come out of the darkness. Her hair was rumpled and her body like mine was covered in sweat
"Because, it's late and if someone had been hurt I wouldn't be able to stay at the school."
By that time our group had come outside, all of them looked tired. Derrel winking at me and picking up on all the tension said
"Well I'm beat all in favor of returning home say aye"
Everyone answered and we all headed back. She avoided me the whole way home. Sitting there I missed it the closeness, the emotion she showed when we kissed. And how I really wanted to kiss her again. We arrived at the school five minutes before curfew. Derrel, Roy, John and I all said goodnight and then separated.
"Hey man, that was pretty intense, I don't think you should tell your old man" Derrel said as we walked the hall
"I think he already knows"
"What! How?"
"There" I said pointing to chip on the door, later I would have to read
"Oh man, you are so toast. He's gonna blow a gasket. She's only been here a few weeks and you got her messing up the city."
"Yeah well I'll deal with it"
"Alright man, whatever. Just remember I'm hear for ya" he said and entered his room
Entering mine I put the chip on my desk and fell into a deep sleep.
