Glad you liked the last chappie and here's the next one. I do not own W.I.T.C.H but if i did there would be major Will/Caleb action.

Chapter 8: There's Something About Matt

For the next few weeks Matt tried desperately to get Will to go out on a date with him and she

always gave him excuses for why she couldn't go. Kira and Hay Lin both made the fall play and

were at rehearsals almost everyday and luckily track practice and fall play rehearsals ended at the

same time so Will always had Kira to get her out of any heated discussions that started to arise

when Matt approached Will. "That was way too close," Will said when she, Kira, and Hay Lin

were being driven home by Yan. "What am I gonna do Kira? I'm running out of excuses of why I

can't go out on a date with Matt." "You could just tell him the truth," Yan suggested. "No way,"

Kira said, "If Matt is being so persistent in trying to get to go on a date with him after she's turned

him down 4 times…" "5 times," Will interrupted. "4 or 5 times," Kira continued, "Then he's not

going to react well to the fact that Will no longer has feelings for him. Will he's acting like you

belong to him. If he finds out you and Caleb are secretly dating he'll blow," "I agree with Kira," Hay

Lin said, "until we can get him to forget you, the fork up those excuses"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Derek! Hey Derek!" Kira yelled as she saw Derek walking through the empty halls. Derek

stopped and turned to face Kira. She was holding a clipboard. She was wearing a pair of Lucky

low rise jeans that rested on the curves of her waist. Her top was black and only had one sleeve

and the rest of the upper part slanted to her other arm. She looked really good but then he shook

the thought from his head. "Yes?" he asked her impatiently. "Look the theater club is holding a

Halloween dance to raise money for the hurricane Katrina victims and we need more people to help

out. I was wondering if you'd like to sign up. It would be a great way for you to make friends,"

Derek sighed. He didn't care about making new friends. He was a loner but he still took out a pen

and signed his name on the clipboard. "Thanks Derek you rock," Kira smiled and hugged Derek.

Luckily for Derek she didn't notice the slight blush in his cheeks. Then Hay Lin ran up to her

frantically. "Kira major crisis! You know who is trying to get a date with Will again and she can't

find a good excuse," "I gotta go," Kira said, "See ya tomorrow Derek," and she and Hay Lin ran

off to find Will.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm waiting Will," Matt said, "what's you're reason for turning me down this time?" "I…I…um,"

Will said nervously. "Will there you are. Come on we've got to get home so we can eat and get

some homework done before the meeting," Kira said. "What meeting?" Matt asked suspiciously.

"The Halloween dance meeting," Kira replied, "Everyone who helping out with it has to come to an

organizational meeting tonight at 7:00. There's gonna be a meeting every Friday and Saturday," "Oh

yeah I almost forgot about the meeting. Well we'd better get going," Will said and she walked

away. Matt stood there glaring at Will. Kira got so many vibes of anger that she practically fell over.

She had to settle this mystery once and for all. She concentrated on breaking into Matt's mind.

"What are you doing?" Hay Lin whispered. "Trying to read Matt's mind," Kira answered quietly. "I

thought you promised not to read anyone's mind again?" Hay Lin whispered. "I promised I

wouldn't read Will's mind ever again. I never said anything about Matt. Now be quiet so I can

concentrate," Kira said and she went back to trying to enter Matt's mind but she was pushed right

out and she stumbled backwards a bit. "Come on Hay Lin we don't want to keep Yan and Will

waiting" and she walked toward the lobby with Hay Lin following after her.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kira what's the matter?" Hay Lin asked. "Matt's what's matter. I couldn't read his mind. It was

like he had some kind of force field to stop me from entering. I'm really starting to worry.

Something isn't right about him." Kira said nervously her face pale. "We can't let Will be alone with

him ever," Hay Lin said. "I agree completely," Kira said calming down. Hay Lin and Will were like

sisters to Kira and she'd never forgive herself if anything happened to them. "Guys come on Yan is

waiting for us outside," Will said coming up to them. "We're coming," Kira said and the girls got

into the car,"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Caleb," Kira whined as she walked into her brother's room. Caleb sighed, "What do you want this

time?" Caleb asked. "Can you like spy on Matt and record what he does each day?" Kira asked.

Caleb raised his eyebrow suspiciously at her. "Why?" he asked. "Because," Kira replied, "I'm

worried that Matt's going to hurt Will. I need to find out if he's planning anything against her," Caleb

sighed again he knew he couldn't say no. Even if he and Will used to argue a lot, though they still

do, he really cared about her. Plus if Matt could harm Will then Kira was also vulnerable and he

couldn't take the chance of losing Kira again. "Ok I'll do it," Caleb said.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well?" Kira asked when Caleb came to give Kira the weakly report. "So far nothing suspicious,"

Caleb said. "He gets up and gets ready for school. Then grabs a breakfast shake on the way out the

door cause he doesn't have time to eat breakfast. Then he goes to school and after school he stays

after with the Rock and Roll club where he and the other members practice for the fall concert.

Then he goes home, does his homework, eats dinner, and goes to bed," "Does he leave the school

ever? Like during lunch?" Kira asked. "No," Caleb replied, "He eats lunch with his friends in the

cafeteria. Seems to me that if he's got something planned then he's doing a pretty good job of

keeping that plan a secret," Kira sighed in defeat. At least Matt hasn't been trying to get a date with

Will this past week she thought. "The only thing I can find suspicious is the breakfast shakes," Kira

said. "Why?" Caleb asked. "Well doesn't he just get up earlier?" Kira asked. "Earlier than he's

already getting up. You know the insane school hours. Who could he possibly get up any earlier?"

Caleb argued "Ok then," Kira said, "But why does it have to be a breakfast shake? Why can he

just have a milk n' cereal bar or a Nutrigrain bar?" "Maybe he doesn't like those things. Look Kira

we can't just jump to conclusions without evidence. I guess the best we can do for now it just

keeping Will away from him," Caleb said. Kira nodded. "I will find out your secret Matt" Kira said

to herself, "You can count on that,"

Unlike Kira and Hay LinI did not make the fall play at my school. :( but there's always the spring musical. hope you liked that chappie. Is there something about Matt? Well you'll have to wait and see. The Halloween dance will be in the next chappie and Caleb choses a very intersting costume.
