Chapter Twelve
Failed
----- Layla -----
Krys chuckled, "Warren? Why would I go with Warren?"
I looked at her with a sad expression on my face and her smirk quickly disappeared.
"Oh, geez, I-I'm sorry, Layla, but me and Warren just won't work out. Ever." She told me, shaking her head.
"Ugh, whatever." I muttered, not wanting to talk about this. "Just…just want you to know that I think you two make a cute couple, but what do I know?" I shrugged and walked off.
"Wait! Layla!" She called, but I didn't look back. So the plan had failed. I was sort of disappointed and sad, but I sort of wasn't. Maybe Warren deserved better than a girl who couldn't see through his mask.
----- Warren -----
I was heading towards the bus swiftly, trying to avoid conversation with anyone. I passed Magenta once, but she didn't seem to noticed me.
While I was on the bus I completely forgot about talking to Jessica at lunch. Actually, I didn't even have lunch. I had spent the entire time outside just thinking about what Krys had said. I didn't even know why I cared so much, but I did.
I knew I'm lying, of course. I did care. A lot. But it wasn't like I was ever going to say a word. I knew she didn't like me, but I just couldn't stop thinking about what she said. I had never liked anyone like this…ever.
I jumped off the bus and hurried into the Paper Lantern. I jumped into a booth that I thought was empty. Apparently, it was occupied. I jumped when I heard her shriek, "Hey, Warren!" It was Jessica. "Oh, sorry if I startled you. I didn't mean to. I just didn't catch you at lunch and…well I thought I could catch you here." She said innocently, starting to turn a bright pink.
"Oh yea," I muttered, "Uh…I didn't have lunch."
All she said was, "Oh,"
We sat there silently avoiding eye contact for maybe five minutes. Finally, I brought it up, "So, you wanted to ask me something."
Jessica tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled. "Oh yea, that." She looked away from me, still smiling. She looked back up at me and quickly mumbled. "Would you like to go to the dance with me?"
The dance was in a only a week away, but it wasn't like I had anyone else to go with. "Sure," I said, "That'd be great."
Jessica stood up and her grin grew even wider, taking up half her face. "Awesome! I'll…I'll talk to you about the details later." I nodded as she grabbed her bag and slung it over her shoulder and walked out. I watched her walk away and stared at the door for a second until I finally got up and hurried to the kitchen.
My shirt was almost over and Krys didn't show. I grabbed one of the random workers and asked, "Do you know where Krys is?"
"She said she couldn't make it," He muttered, "She said she had plans. She'd make up for it over the weekend." I let him go and he carried on.
So she didn't show. Was it because of me? Or did she just have to spend time with that Carson guy. I didn't want her to come anyways. For some reason, it would just make me feel uncomfortable. But then again, maybe I did want Krys to show up for at least a minute. Just one.
----- Will -----
I sat on the couch quietly. It was mid-evening and my parents were out saving the world again. I was watching the news, waiting for them to come on.
"BREAKING NEWS," The reporter announced. "Another odd creature is attacking downtown! This time, a large vulture of some sort."
I scooted up, focusing on the television. A large black winged creature came swooping into the camera from the left. It was pitch black from it's large beak to it's long feathered tail. It let out an ear-splitting call, very similar to a crow's.
My parents soon made their way onto the screen. My Mom flew thought the sky, holding my Dad up by his arms. In only two seconds Mom flung Dad towards the beast, but the bird quickly dodged, causing Dad to keep falling. Luckily, Mom lunged towards him and caught him.
Were they a good team or what?
I tried to catch a close glimpse of the creature. The dragon and this bird were definitely related. The bird came close to the camera, it's chest towards it. My eyes widened when I saw the exactly same pendent around the long neck of the bird.
There was definitely something wrong and one person was behind all of the creatures.
