Ch.3 What can't be seen
The next day, Todd walked into his daughter's roomto start up the usual morning routine, Todd looked at the sleeping form of his daughter 'Aww, she looks so precious...' he thought to himself with a smile. Kara was tangled up in her blankets with one leg sticking out, lying on her back with one arm out to her side and the other draped dramatically across her face. "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" shouted as he jumped on the bed and proceeded to bounce it. Kara woke up flailing her arms and legs "Huh!? Wha!? What's goin' on!?", Todd hopped off the bed with a smirk "Breakfast is ready and wiatin' for ya" he got out of the room in time, just before a pillow hit him.
Pulling up to the school, Kara quickly hugged her father and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "I'll be picking you up today. Do you have soccar practice?" Todd asked. "Nope, see ya after school!" Kara bounced out of the car and jogged towards the school's entrance to wait for her friends, she quickly turned around to wave 'bye' to her dad as he drove away. First person she saw was Wesley being dropped off by his father, she started skipping over to him "Wes! Hey!".
Wes knew his father was still sitting there in his car, he could feel his eyes on his back, "Wes! Hey!" came Kara's voice from his left. 'Damnit! Just pretend you don't hear her, don't let dad know you're friends' Wes mentally told himself as he walked faster towards the entrance. "Wes! Wait up!" Kara called after him again, shaking his head he walked as fast as he could into the school without even looking her way 'I'm sorry, Kara'.
Kara stood there with her hand still in the air from when she was trying to wave Wes over, she blinked at the door Wes just went in then turned her head towards Mr.Wagner. "Hi, Mr.Wagner!" she waved over at him, Kurt simply turned and got in his car and drove away, Kara blinked aftre the car then stared at her hand in the air "What am I? Invisible?". She looked around and spotted Brianna heading towards the door, she ran over and clung hrself to the other girls arm "Bri, please tell me I'm not invisible!" Kara mock-sobbed on Brianna's shoulder.
"Ok, you're not invisible..." Brianna blinked at her friend oddly "What's up with you?", Kara pouted as they walked inside the school "Wes and his daddy didn't say hi to me". "And?", "I was practically holding up neon signs, saying hi to them first!", "Oh..." Brianna looked around for Wes to see if she could ask him what his deal was. "I gotta go to class now, you comin' over this weekend?" Kara asked as she walked away backwards, "Uh, yeah...yeah, I'm still going to your house. See ya later!" Brianna waved goodbye as Kara left.
Nathan had gym today, they got to run laps and do sit-ups, push-ups, all that fun stuff, which he of course aced due to his daily routine work out at home 'Thank you, dad' he thought sarcastically. His favorite time in gym class was the showers, he loved taking a shower, it was the most relaxing and rewarding part of working out, he just felt so refreshed after a shower after working out. Today, though, he forgot he had gym and didn't bring any soap, so he looked around for somebody who was using the kind of soap that's not a bar, the kind you squeeze onto your hand and not have to share another's germs by using it.
Scanning around, he saw his friend Tony using the perfect kind of soap you can share with other people "Hey, Tony!" Nathan called out. Tony turned around "What's up, man?", "Nothin', I was just wondering if I could use some of that when you're done" Nathan pointed to the bottle in his friends hand. "No problem, dude!" Tony went about his shower, though quickly so his friend could take his, Nathan sat near the showers boredly and looked around at everyone. He knew he was much better built than most the guys in the school, hell he was better built than some high schoolers, he was asked by the coach to play football by had to decline 'Thank you, dad' he thought sarcastically again.
His friend, Tony, was a skinny guy, his other friend, Allen, was pretty built but in no comparison to himself, then there was that one guy in class, Barry, he was one of those beefy but built kinda guys...football player. Then of course, there was Derick Mathews, who shared the same gym class as Nathan, they ewre always competing with each other, Nathan didn't know why but he'd accpet the challenge. Looking over at Derick he saw that he was almost as built as himself 'From what dad says, his dad must make him work out like mine does', cutting himself off from his thoughts he noticed something. 'Where did those marks come from?' Nathan examined Dericks back from a distance, earlier that day he saw what Kara had done to him, but he didn't remember seeing Kara whip him in the back with a belt.
"Nath!", Nathan shook himself from his thoughts and looked up confused, his friend Tony standing there in a towel with a bottle in Nathan's face. "You alright man?", Nathan blinked a few times before his memory started working again "Right, yeah...I'm fine..." he went to walk into the showers before Tony grabbed his shoulder. "Forgeting something?" Tony waved the bottle of soap, "Oh yeah, right" Nathan grabbed the bottle, his brain fully finctioning again, and took his shower, this shower, however, didn't feel so great, though...
Lunch time came and they all started to gather at 'their table', "He just completely ignored you?" Aimee asked and took a bite of her sandwich. Kara just nodded with a pout then looked over to see Wes coming up to the table, "Hey guys" Wes greeted with a smile, everyone just sat there staring at him. "What?", Kara cleared hre throat "Helloooooooo, Wes. Can you hear me now?" Kara pretended her hand was a microphone "Check, check. Testing, testing, one two three!". Wes frowned 'What do I say?', "Why'd you ignore Kara this morning?" Cassy raised an eyebrow at him, "I, uh...this morning? I must not have heard you, sorry" he lied.
"Oh...you sure you didn't? I mean, I was only like ten feet away from you..." Kara questioned, Wes racked his brain to think of something "Uh, must've been the water in my ears from my shower this morning...". "Oh, ok!" Kara perked up, 'I hate lying!' Wes mentally scolded himself, "Where's Myles?" Rachel's voice interrupted his thoughts. Joslyn rolled her eyes "Who knows, last night he was cryin' in his room like some stupid baby", "Must've been shaken up about yesterday" Alec shrugged.
'I don't wanna be weak. I don't wanna be weak. I don't wanna be made fun of. I wanna be like them, one of the cool kids' Myles rocked himself in one of the stalls in the boy's bathroom. Tears were running down his face, he was sniffling up a storm and his voice was strained and cracking with whimpers. He heard the boy's bathroom door open and some kids come in to do their business, he held his breath so no one would hear him and waited for them to leave before slowly getting up. He walked over to the sink and looked at himself, his eyes were puffy and red again, he splashed some water on his face and steadied his breathing. 'I can be like them! I can do anything and everything they can! I'm not gonna be weak!' Myles glared at his reflection before leaving to go to class.
After school, Aimee walked home to find a strange car in th driveway, cautiously entering the house she heard the sound of laughter, not the sickening sounds of her parents 'getting it on' in the kitchen. "Mom? Dad?" Aimee called out, "Oh, that's our little girl, Aimee! Aimee! Come here! I want you to meet some people!" came her mother's voice from the living room. Aimee slowly crept into the living room to find her parents with three guests sitting there, "Everyone, this is our daughter, Aimee. Aimee, this is my old friend Logan and his wife Ororo and their son James". "Rogue, your daughter is beautiful. How old is she?" Ororo smiled sweetly, "Thirteen, right?" the red and white haired woman turned to her daughter.
"Only thirteen? I would've guessed sixteen at the youngest!" Ororo looked taken aback, Aimee's father chuckled "She takes after her mother, non?". The adults all chuckled, the man named Logan tapped his son's shoulder "James, here is seventeen" while Aimee's parents went on asking questions on his highschool life and plans for college, Aimee was checkin' out the goods. He looked like he'd be kinda tall, obviously taller than her thirteen year old self, he was nice and tanned, dark hair and eyes, 'Damn he's hot!' Aimee drooled in her thoughts. "Aimee?", "Huh? Yeah, mom?" she snapped out of her mental 'guy watching', "I said why don't you show James around for a bit while us adults chat".
Didn't have to tell her twice, she grabbed his hand and quickly showed him around the house then brought him out to her favorite tree she climbs to have some peace. James climbed up first, Aimee shamelessly looked up through his t-shirt to see his nicely tone abs and pecks, her thoughts were interrupted when he offered her his hand to help her up. The sat there and chatted for a while, looking into the kitchen window to see the adults idea of chatting was making and drinking as many mixed drinks as possible. "You seem really cool for a middle schooler, Aimee" James smiled sweetly, Aimee blushed "You really think so? I mean, I'm nothin' special really...".
James shook his head "No, you are, really! You should hang out with me and my crew sometime. In fact, my buddy's throwin' a party this weekend, you wanna come?". Aimee felt her heart skip "Ok! Can I bring some friends?", James chuckled "Sure, why not? If they're your friends, they gotta be cool too, right?". They both laughed and talked some more before James had to leave, "This weekend, remember!", "I wont!" Aimee waved goodbye and ran inside to call up her friends to see who'd come with her.
Brianna was going over to Kara's that weekend and they already had plans, so the weren't going...Wes couldn't go because he had to babysit his little sister, Cassy and Alec had a date planned for the weekend...Nathan and Rachel aren't allowed to go to parties, so that left Joslyn..."My mom said I can go, but only if Myles comes along too" Joslyn whined, "Who cares!? It's a party! We can lose him easily so he doesn't drag you down!" Aimee pleaded. "Alright, fine, but if he sticks around us and ruins the fun I'm holding you responsible!", Aimee squealed and jumped around her room "Yay! See this weekend!".
James picked them up and drove them to the house, it looked like it was full of people, loud music was pumping out through the front door and the wondows. People were dancing, chillin', "You guys want a beer?" James asked, holding a plastic cup in his hand, "Ok" Aimee smiled sa she watched James pour her a cup and handed it to her. "Are you seriously gonna drink that?" Myles voice broke in before she could reach the cup to her lips, Aimee rolled her eyes "Quit being such a nerd" she took a swig and grimaced at the taste but swallowed. "Hey, I want you to meet my buddy, c'mon" James pulled Aimee away from Joslyn and Myles, her beer spilling slightly as she followed.
Joslyn turned to her brother with a glare "If you keep that up I'm making you stand outside!", Myles gulped knowing his sister was stronger than him, he noddednd watched her storm away. "Hey, kid, who're you with?" an older teenager with long blonde hair walked over a slung an arm around his shoulders, "Uh, I came here with my sister, her friend...and James, I think his name was...". "James!? Dude, why don't you come chill with my crew" the boy laughed, sounding a bit tipsy, "Y-you want me...to chill with you?" this was a first for Myles. The boy laughed again and started leading Myles towards a room, it was a bit smokey in there but it relaxed Myles, "What's your name little dude? I'm Tim" the blonde boy held his hand out. Myles looked from his hand to the room, it was a cozy little room with about eight other people in it, in the center was a large glass table, he shook Tim's hand "I'm Myles..."
Kara, Todd and Brianna had just finished eating a chicken, broccoli and cheese cassarole, Kara and Brianna were sitting in the living room while Todd cleaned up the kitchen. Brianna looked over at Kara, she was pretty concentrated on finding something to watch, so she got up slowly and walked to the bathroom. Todd finished cleaning up and walked out "What'cha watchin'?", "Porn" Kara replied sarcastically, Todd rolled his eyes and looked around "Where's Brianna?". Kara stopped her channel surfing and looked around "I dunno...", the sounds of puking coming from the bathroom told them where she was, Todd walked over and gently knocked on the door.
Slipping her fingers down her throat again and letting all that food come out burned her throat like all hell, 'I thought this would be easy!'. A light knock at the door made her heart stop, "Brianna, dear, are you feelin' alright?" came Mr.Tolensky's voice, 'Shit! Think of something!'. "Umm..." she felt another retch coming on and gagged "I think I'm allergic to cheese!" she couldn't hold it anymore and puked into the toilet again.
Todd and Kara looked at each other in horror, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I didn't know...next time I'll make something different...would you like some medicine? An anti-acid or something?". Brianna frowned 'I didn't mean to make them feel bad' she puked again, when she caught her breath she got up and rinsed her mouth out and looked in the mirror 'I can stop for now' she thought. She flushed the toilet and walked out, when she came out she saw the apologetic looks on Todd and Kara's faces, "You want something to settle your stomache?" Todd asked again, "No thank you, Mr.Tolensky. I'm feeling much better now".
