How Could You?
Clare's POV
A couple weeks passed and our mother is still not home. She's been in court fighting to put William in jail. She was determined to put him there he would not be able to touch another young girl again.
So it's just been me and Vi. She had been working things out with Lash and I had been having the time of my life with Warren. Some good and some bad. The dance is on Monday and Vi and I were going to go dress shopping today. That's if she ever got out of bed.
"Vi come on!" I heard her groan and get out of bed.
"Thank you," I was toasting a bagel when she came down. I dropped my bagel when I turned to face her.
"W-what are you wearing?" She looked down then looked at me. She was wearing a pink tank top, plaid caprice that were black and pink. She had pink converses and pink streaks in her hair.
"What? I normally dress like this."
"Not in pink!" She shrugged, grabbed an apple and walked into the living room. I shook my head and cleaned up my breakfast, throwing it away and grabbing an apple too.
Vi pulled herself from the T.V and we left to the dress store.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What about this one?" Vi made a weird face.
"No!" It was a classy, brown, knee-length dress with long sleeves.
"Now this is hot!" Vi turned and showed me an icy blue dress. It had a halter top and a V cut neck. It was mid-calf long but in the front it had a cut just below my mid-thigh.
"Try it on!" She gave me the dress and pushed me into the dressing room. I came out to show Vi the dress. The dress hugged my body. Vi's eyes widened.
"You look hot. Let's get you shoes." She grabbed a pair of strappy heels. I ended up buying it.
"Now for you." I smiled. She shook her head.
"Already got it." I pushed her into the dressing room. When she came out she looked beautiful. Her dress was really unique. It was a black dress, ballerina style. It was red and black. Actually it looked a lot like Avirl Lavgine's dress in the Under My Skin video. She had black combat boots.
"It's so you." I rolled my eyes and she got changed back into her clothes and we left.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday night. I was so nervous. It's been awhile since I've talked to Warren. I've been really busy lately. Vi helped me with my make up. She put a white eye shadow on and a frost lip gloss. She looked good. She had red eye shadow and red lips. Her hair had red streaks too.
We got picked up on the bus and everyone complimented us. Vi sat with Magenta and I sat with Layla.
"Where's Will?" She shrugged and we arrived.
The gym was decorated beautifully. Vi ran off to find Lash.
"Hey, you're Clarity right?" I turned to face a boy I didn't know.
"Yes." He smiled.
"I was wondering, would you like to be my date?" I shook my head.
"Sorry I came with Warren." He looked at me confused.
"No, he came with Layla. He's been hanging with her forever now, holding hands, sitting together." I felt hot tears fill my eyes.
"Hold on ok." He nodded. I approached Warren.
"Hey Clare wh-" I slapped him hard across the face. He turned back to me and glared.
"What the hell was that for?" My jaw clenched.
"When were you going to tell me that you liked Layla?" I crossed my arms.
"What!? I don't like Layla!" He tried reaching out for me I stepped back.
"That's why you came with her?" I spat.
"No Clare. Let me explain…" I shook my head.
"I don't want to hear it." I went to turn when he grabbed me.
"I don't care if you don't listen but I'm explaining!" I didn't move.
"I saw Layla at the Lantern and she was waiting for Will. She was going to tell him she liked him. Never got to because he likes Gwen who asked him to Homecoming before she could and said she was going with me to get him jealous. But he's not here. I told her that and I came to wait for you." He turned me around.
"Clare, I would never hurt you." I hugged him.
"I'm so sorry!"
"It's fine. You look beautiful by the way." I pulled back smiling.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I found Lash and we hung out for a while. I laughed as he hit a cup filled with punch, which spilled all over Mr. Boy. A song had come on that had Lash bopping his head to the music and his lips started to move with the lyrics. He then grabbed my hand and pulled me to the dance floor.
"Dance, dance! We're falling apart for that last time!" he sang. I loved it when he sang. He spun and when he faced me I grabbed him and kissed him. He pulled me closer.
"Hey! Break it up you two!" Boomer yelled. I raised my hand lifting him up and throwing him away.
"Can I have everyone's attention please?" I pulled away from Lash and we smiled. Gwen was just about to give out the award to Will's parents.
"Um…Vi I got to go to the bathroom ok?" I nodded and he left. I turned around for a second as she started to rant.
"This Award goes to the best Super Being to ever walk the halls of Sky high… ME!" I spun to see Gwen change into Royal Pain.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lash's POV
I turned and saw Vi in the hall. She waved at me, smiling. I closed the gate to lock in the students and ran to her.
"Hey, babe. Let me explain."
"Hey man back off." Vi had turned out to be a guy. I grabbed the guy and slammed him into the wall.
"Where's Vi?!" The guy shrugged.
"Gwen told me to do this." My eyes widened.
"Lash?!" I turned and saw Vi, her eyes black, tears started falling from her eyes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vi's POV
I went to run but noticed Lash. I called to him. He turned his head and smiled, closing the gate. I ran to the gate, tears streaming down my cheeks. He lied to me. Again. Now he will pay. I locked my hands to the gate letting my power take over me.
"Lash?!" He turned and faced me. I melted the metal and ripped it off, walking closer to him.
"You lied to me Lash! Now you will regret it!" I sent out a black beam toward him, he dodged and ran.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clare's POV
Warren, Zack, Magenta, Layla, Ethan and I crawled into a vent to get away.
"Hey Warren, how about a torch?"
"Not if you don't want to be toasted?" Zack then started to glow.
"Excuse me ladies. If I may."
"Then all the reindeer loved him." Magenta sang. We were almost out when Will opened the other end.
We all crawled out. Will started rambling about how he was a jerk and what Royal Pain's plans were.
"Just in case my date ends up killing me. I just want you to know…" Will then kissed Layla.
"Aw how sweet. I hate sweet!" Penny sneered, Speed laughed. Lash came around the corner, cracking his knuckles. My eyes narrowed. Vi's going to kill him.
Will ran through the wall to fight Pain. Speed ran into Warren and he chased after him. Lash grabbed Ethan. Penny multiplied herself. Layla and I took her on.
Zack and Magenta climbed back into the vent and left.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Magenta?"
"Yeah?" Zack stopped crawling. Magenta did too, turning to face him.
"I know that you probably don't like me but I want you to know that I love you and if I actually had a power I'd try and defend you." He looked away from her. Magenta blushed and placed a hand to his face.
"Zack?" He looked up. Magenta brushed her lips over his, jumping a bit as a jolt of electricity ran through her body.
"Wow. I don't like you. I love you too." He smiled. He kissed her with all his might, sending another jolt of electricity through her veins.
"Since when do you have the power of electricity?" Zack shrugged.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ethan melted as Lash tried to punch him but instead hit the locker. Ethan slid under the door of the bathroom. Lash slammed the door open and kicked in all the stall doors. Lash leaned in one, hearing it gurgling.
"No way." He leaned over the toilet. Ethan became a solid and jumped up, knocking Lash's head into the toilet. Lash tugged, trying to get free as Ethan flushed. His head was sucked in.
Ethan dashed out and ran down the hall just as Vi came around the opposite corner, melting the floor beneath her feet. The lockers squealed as she dragged her nails across them, making them rust. She paused in front of the boys bathroom and smirked.
She pushed back the door, gliding in. Lash was still tugging. She stood behind him, tilting her head to the right. The toilet then burst, setting Lash free. He flew back, almost into Vi. He stood dusting him self off as he turned.
"Forgot something Lash?!" Vi hissed in two tones. Lash looked up. She sent out another beam and Lash ducked. It went right through the wall. Lash jumped through the hole she made. She chased after him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Penny had cornered Layla and Clare. She had over a dozen of herself. Layla and Clare glanced at each other and nodded. Layla raised her arms and threw them out toward Penny. Vines flew in, wrapping themselves over the Penny's. Clare concentrated on the rest of the Penny's, raising them up and throwing them out the windows. They disappeared because they were not the real one.
"You're not supposed to have powers! You're a sidekick!" Penny directed to Layla.
"I am a sidekick." They started to leave.
"Wait! Don't just leave me here! Royal Pain is planning to have the school fall right out of the sky!" The girls looked at each other and dashed out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clare found Ethan and told him to find Zack and Magenta and cut the device. She then ran off to find Warren. She ran down the halls when she screamed in pain, falling to the ground grabbing her head. Her eyes opened, a smoky white fogged covered them.
She could she Lash running. A black beam flew near him but he neatly dodged them. He was in an alley way. She then realized he was running from Vi. She closed her eyes and reopened them. They were back to normal. She stood and went to find Vi.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lash ran as fast as he could from the girl he loved. The girl he betrayed. He knew she would never forgive him and as long as she lived she'd be after him. He stopped and turned to face her. She stopped also, glaring at him.
"Why are you stopping?" Her power may want to kill him but Vi just wanted to hurt him. But right know, her power was in charge.
"I know as long as you live you'll be after me. I'm not running anymore." She raised her arms, black forming at her palms. Lash brought his hands up.
"I love you Vi." he whispered. Vi suddenly froze and so did Lash.
Clarity dropped her arms, looking at Vi who's beam had not been sent yet. Lash's arms were up in front of his face. She walked over to Vi, placing a hand on her shoulder, making her go back to normal. She dragged her around the corner. After Clare got her twin out of view Lash unfroze. He looked around confused. But then he hit the hard ground beneath him.
"You are arrested for the crime of turning the heroes into babies." Lash didn't fight, he could stop thinking about Violet. He pulled him to his feet and lugged him over to the car where Speed was.
"Hey man." Speed said. Lash shook his head, then rested it on the window. Tears fell freely as he knew he'd never see her again. And even if he did she'd never forgive him.
"How could I?"
