Hay everyone, I'M SO...SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN LIKE, A MONTH! My grandma recently passed away from melanoma and I went down to the funeral in Brisbane. Actually, I stayed at surf all day and do the hula's house, cus, she's my cousin! She's the one that introduced me to this site!
Anywayz this chapter is dedicated to Caitlin!
" I dibs this seat!" I yelled to the others, running to our lunch spot and throwing my bag down on it. Holly and Parvati came behind me, panting hard. We had been racing ever since the bell had rang, trying to get the best place to sit in our normal lunch spot. This spot to have lunch, however was very sacred. We had first stumbled upon it on our second day at Sky High; it was hidden behind bushes and bunches of trees and flowers, clearly out of sight from the rest of the students. We didn't know how or why, but we were they only ones that raided this secret area; but it was perfect place to eat lunch everyday, a water fountain in the middle, trees you could climb and sit under, it was perfect.
"Fine, but I get it tomorrow!" cried Parvati, throwing her bag next to my legs. I had chosen the best spot of all to sit under the beautiful floral bush (you could eat the flowers, as they grew peaches on them), which had overgrown over a tap that supplied fresh, crystal clear water, or so it said on the label.
"You wish!" shouted Holly, as she joined Parvati.
It had been one week since Sky High had begun and I had already made a whole bunch of new friends. First there was Parvati (A/N: I introduced her in chapter three), who, not surprisingly, Caitlin and Holly both got on well with. Then there was Seb, a Canadian exchange student who Caitlin had invited to sit with us on the first day. He was very fluent in both English and French, and was always exaggerated about his powers: he could ignite fire with his hands as well as he could freeze objects, literally. For some strange reason I had the impression that Caitlin was attracted to Seb, because she would always blush and giggle we he was around. How obvious. And then there was Robbie, Seb's best friend. Robbie was the cute, adorable new guy who was loved by everyone. Even though he wore glasses he was still one of cutest guys in Sky High. He was very intelligent, but nothing like his unusual power: he could walk through walls, even through a bank. Even after one week of knowing each other I thought we all acted as though we had been friends for years.
"Wait, wait wait, if anyone gets the spot next time it should be madam Caitlin!" Caitlin had appeared by our lunch spot and had begun taking out her lunch, followed by Robbie and Seb.
"I know" said Robbie "why don't we draw up a roster on who sits at the best spot daily?"
"Dude, let the girls fight for the best spot each day, it's kinda funny! Plus, it's always manners to let the lady, or in this case, ladies eat wherever they want!" answered Seb. Caitlin giggled. There was along silence followed by a loud sound. Everyone turned to look as the spot I was sitting under magically appeared under Caitlin.
"Hay, that's not fair!" I protested "Caitlin, you shouldn't use your powers of moving objects just to move my spot for your convenience!"
Caitlin poked her tongue out. "Too bad, I felt that it looks better under me! Hehe, try get it off me, if you can!"
"Alright then, but I warned you!" I closed my eyes and I appeared next to Caitlin. Before she could say anything I grabbed her hand, closed my eyes and within a split second we were both up, perched in this huge tree.
"Argh, get me out of here!" Caitlin squelched, trying to find a way down.
"Here, jump into my arms!" Seb held out his arms, but Caitlin didn't move. All of a sudden there was a loud scream as Caitlin fell out of the tree, followed by a huge crunch sound as she hit the ground hard, Caitlin squealed in pain.
"Ow.., my leg!" she squealed, fighting back tears of pain. I closed my eyes and I was next to Caitlin again.
"Caitlin, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to I swear, I just wanted to pay you back, I thought it would be a joke!" I tried explaining to her
"I don't care, just take me to the nurse!" By this time Caitlin was in tears.
"Here, I'll take her," offered Robbie, walking over towards Caitlin.
"No, its okay I'll take her. I'll be quicker anyway. It's my fault as well. I'll see you all later" I replied. I grabbed Caitlin carefully and closed my eyes. Next minute I was standing in the nurse's office.
"Oh my, what happened here?" asked the nurse, approaching Caitlin and I.
"She fell out of a tree, I think she's broken her leg! It's my fault; I put her up there in the first place! I'm so sorry Caitlin, I didn't mean to" was all I could say
"There's no need for apologies right this moment. I will be able to fix her leg in time for her next lesson. You, however, need to go to class; the bell will ring in precisely two minutes!
"Okay then, thank you, bye Caitlin" I ran out of the nurse's office, guilt ridden with what had just happened. I'm the worse friend ever I thought to myself. Just then I walked into an open locker. What an idiot, Emily, my brain said, as I regained consciousness from the inside of my head rattling.
"Ow… where did that come from?" I asked myself, making me look stupid in front of the students who were already laughing at me
"Maybe your going mental!" cried a voice behind me. Lucas was standing there, smirking at me.
"Go away!" I cried, as I ran to get my books for my next class.
History is a fascinating subject! I thought to myself enthusiastically. No wait, am I saying this because I'm trying to erase a horrible memory that had just happened 15 minutes ago?
"You can't keep blaming yourself Emily," said Parvati, noticing that I kept writing History is a fascinating subject all over my book.
"Say what?" I said, fluttering my eyes and staring back into reality.
"It wasn't your fault. I mean, even though you did transport Caitlin into the tree, you were only trying to make a joke. Caitlin will get over it. I assure you!" Just then Professor Thompson interrupted our conversation.
"I suppose you ladies would like to share with us what your assignment will be on this term? As I just explained it to the portion of the class that was listening!"
"Umm, it will be about the history of the ghosts that roam this school?" I said, thinking that it might have been a good enough answer. Instead the class just laughed.
"Absolutely not! Your assignment will be based on a famous hero that is well know for achieving great goals in our world! You will present an oral with a partner, due in four weeks. At first I would have let you selected your own partner, Miss Lefebvre, but since yourself and Miss Desrosiers are incapable of paying attention, you shall partner with…. Mr. "
"Who?" I replied. Professor Thompson pointed to a boy sitting directly opposite me, the person I dreaded the most. It was the idiotic Lucas.
"No!" I replied, before I could stop myself
"What?" replied Lucas, grinning broadly, revealing a very cute smile…wait, what am I thinking? "I won't bite I promise!" The class laughed.
"Please Professor, I wish to go with Parvati!" I cried, nearly at the point of begging.
"No, I think that yourself and young Lucas here would make good partners. Now as I have given the rest of the class their famous person I shall give you yours, as you were not listening. You will study Doctor LaFluer. This is a great privilege to study, as Doctor LaFleur was one of the founders of Sky High. Not many students have had him to study on, so I expect impressive results, at the most. I advise that you research straight away, though I doubt you will find enough information on him already!" And with that Professor Thompson turned to Parvati and started assigning her with her partner.
"Mr. Bra, you shall partner with Miss Desrosiers!" called out Professor Thompson to the boy sitting next to Lucas. The boy jumped up and ran towards the Professor. I thought he was the funniest looking boy I had ever seen, though in a good way. He was dress similar to Lucas, in skating-type clothing, but he wore a lot more than Lucas. A lot of armbands and hair bands, he was practically a skateboard himself.
"My name is Kim, or Kimberly, if you like" he said politely to Parvati. Parvati started giggling,
"Oh, and with my last name 'bra', I like to be referred to as 'bro…', you roll the 'o…'. it sounds more manly to me. As for Kim, well my mother thought I was a girl, until three months after my birth did she realized that I was a man!". Both Parvati and I bursted out laughing, unable to control it Something about this boy, whether his nostrils flared when he talked, would make you laugh when you see him
"So, where's all the babes?" he asked Parvati. She started giggling again
"What do you mean?" she asked him, still giggling madly.
"Like, do you hang out with hottie girls or not?"
"Um, yeah I guess," replied Parvati, looking confused
"Cool, so at lunch I'll go to where you sit to study with you. Destination hotties in sight! Sorry Lucas, I'll be hanging low for a while!"
"No probs!" replied Lucas, "I'll be studying with Emily" Lucas walked over towards me, put his arm around my shoulder and grinned at me
"Hay partner?"
At that moment I felt like melting into liquid, I wonder if I could ask Ethan if he could do that to me, permanently.
