…

Erica smiled at James, who smiled back at her teasingly. She leaned over and was about to brush her lips across his when her phone rang shrilly.

"Ugh. One sec," she said with a strained smile. Picking up the phone, she groaned. "Hey."

"Erica. What are you doing?" Sarah asked, an accusing tone to her voice.

"What do you mean?" she asked with an overly sweet tone while James watched her. She shot him a flirty smile, which he returned instantly.

"You're with that boy from the band aren't you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Erica, don't do it! I know you. Leave him alone."

"I don't wanna," she said with a playful pout, making James smile even more at her.

"Seriously. Just… wait it out. What if you do what you wanna do and things don't work out? It could get ugly…" Erica frowned now as she thought about that.

"…I guess you have a point."

"Thank you." Erica hung up then and smiled sadly at James.

"What's wrong?" he asked, making her shake her head.

"Nothing. Don't worry, we'll have our fun soon enough," she said cryptically, sending chills through James, who still smiled on, oblivious to his fate.

…

They had ended up at the arcade, Carlos and Rory furiously competing against each other in almost every game they could. Logan and Ethan were talking quietly among their selves while Kendall and Benny stood back, watching the two dark-haired boys converse.

"They seem to get along," Benny commented, making Kendall's own green eyes fall on him.

"Yeah. Logan's the brainac of the group. Looks like he found a kindred spirit."

"Yeah, same with E." Kendall raised an eyebrow as he saw the way Benny stared at Ethan, an almost protective aura coming from him.

"You two are pretty close huh?"

"Best friends since we were six. You and him?"

"We're closer just like James and Carlos are closer to each other. We… balance each other out I guess you could say." Benny just nodded in understanding, making the two taller teens fall silent.

...

Logan saw Kendall and Benny talking, an odd feeling twisting in his stomach.

"You okay?" Ethan asked, even though he saw the way Logan stared at Kendall before turning to face him again.

"Yeah. Thanks for showing us around. There's no telling when our bus is gonna be fixed."

"What about your performances?"

"All have been put on hiatus, and anyone who had tickets can just come on the day we have it, with the original ticket."

"Well that's good. Can't disappoint your fans," Ethan said with a strained smile.

"You don't have to force yourself to small talk with me about the band. We can talk about anything." Ethan now smiled a relieved smile, which Logan returned.

"E!" Benny called out suddenly, coming up to the two shorter teens. "I need to talk to you. Outside."

"Oh. Sure. Be right back," he said to Logan with a small smile. Benny just glared at him before following Ethan out of the arcade. Logan watched them, that strange feeling coming over him again. Shaking his head, he looked at Kendall, who was watching him.

"I'll be right back."

…

"What's up?" Ethan asked, turning to Benny, who looked at him strangely.

"You were too busy with Logan to notice, but Sarah texted. Said Erica is with James, and it seems like she may be planning on … well you can guess with Erica," Benny said, slightly bitter sounding.

"Shit," Ethan groaned. "What do we do?"

"I say we blow her to smithereens. Like this," he said, raising his hands. "Bam!" with that, faint sparks shot from his fingertips, making his smile fall while Ethan's grew as he attempted to not laugh. "Dammit. BAM!" A little stronger sparks still feel weakly from his fingertips. Now Ethan laughed.

"Having trouble?" he chuckled, making Benny glare at him.

"I can't concentrate," he grumbled, frowning at Ethan as he tried again, only to get weak sparks once again. "Dammit."

"Why not?"

"Maybe because-" he stopped, and just stared at Ethan, who's eyes were wide as he stared at him, a small smile gracing his lips.

"Let me try again," he whispered, closing his eyes and focusing on one thought and one thought only; Ethan smiling at him. He felt power course through him and he opened his eyes. "BAM!" A huge burst of lights and sparks flew from Benny's hands, hitting a nearby tree, causing a burnt indent to form in the middle of it. Now Benny smiled.

"There's the spellmaster I know," Ethan said with a smile at the taller boy, who instantly smiled back. Neither boy noticed the chocolate brown eyes that watched them with a wide-eyed intensity until Ethan looked over and noticed them. "Logan." Benny turned to see the other boy watching them, looking slightly frazzled and scared.

"Shit."

…

Logan stood there, staring at the two boys in shock.

Had he just seen what he thought he had? But that's impossible…. Magic doesn't exist, he reasoned with himself. But he had seen it with his own eyes…

Benny had done something that definitely wasn't normal. Logan's eyes flitted between Benny and Ethan, and he saw the look in their eyes that confirmed it; He had seen what he had thought he saw.

"Logan," Ethan said, voice calm and reassuring. "It's okay. Let us explain." Logan shook his head and took a step back, stumbling a bit. Ethan shot a hand out to catch the other teen, making him fall into, not a vision, but Logan's thoughts.

"What? What's going on?" Logan asked, looking at Ethan, shock clear in his eyes.

"This happens. It's okay."

"What are you talking about ?"

"Logan, I can tell, you don't believe in this. You believe in science. Right?"

"Yes, science and logic and NORMAL."

"Just hear me out. I'm a seer. Benny's a spellmaster. Whitechapel is FILLED with paranormal stuff, and we're the ones who typically put a stop to it. Some of our friends are vampires. Okay? I know it's a lot to handle, but since you saw, I figured I had to tell you. Also… I had a vision from you the first time we shook hands."

"…A vision?"

"Yes."

"Of what?"

"… You and Kendall kissing." Now Logan looked at Ethan, an odd look in his eyes that could be conveyed as shock.

"Kendall and I… kissing? That's impossible. We both have girlfriends back in LA." Ethan shrugged.

"My visions are never wrong." Logan shook his head, but looked at Ethan. "No harm in going for it if you want it."

"You should take your own advice." Now Ethan looked confused. "If you want someone, then don't let what other's think or say influence your choice." Ethan smiled softly and nodded.

"Only if you do the same."

The two boys fell out of their thought chat, but time had seemed to stay still for Benny, who now looked at them, raising an eyebrow.

"What just happened?" Ethan just smiled at Benny, who smiled back hesitantly.

"Just explained everything to him… Actually almost everything. There is one thing I forgot."

"Which was…?"

"I didn't tell him about Erica."

…

Like I said, all over the place right? Maybe the next one will be more organized.

No promises though.
