Chapter 3

"So I saw Tyler walking with you earlier." Kate said. Jessica, Kate and Sarah were in the library doing their schoolwork.

"Is that bad?" Jessica asked looking up from her notes.

"No." Kate and Sarah said at the same time.

"Its just that Reid has been checking you out a lot and so has Tyler. The four of them are really tight." Sarah explained.

"You think I will split them up?" Jessica asked. She thought that Tyler and Reid were cute but she didn't like, like them, did she?

"Well just watch out for Reid, he can be…" Kate started.

"Reid like." Sarah finished. Jessica looked at both of them not sure what to say. Were they telling her to go for Tyler or stay away from both of them? Either way she was not too keen on having them tell her to be careful it wasn't like she couldn't take care of herself or at least that was what she thought. Sometimes Jessica would get herself into situations that she thought she could handle but she couldn't. that may be the reason why she cant stand having people who care about her.

"Mmmkay. You know what, I can't think about this stuff anymore. I am going for a walk. I will see you guys later." Jessica said then she gave Kate and Sarah a hug before grabbing her books and walking outside. The air was colder than it was before. Jessica quickly walked back to the dorms. She had so much to catch up on to be on the same page with her classmates. She knew one way to do that but would she do it.

Jessica walked into her room and Kira wasn't there, this could be her chance. Jessica placed her books and materials that she need to learn on her bed each open to the pages she needed to know. She closed her eye and when she opened them they were blue, not just the color part of the eye but the whole thing.

"Someone is using. I can feel it, faintly." Caleb said. Tyler, Reid and Pogue were all at his house, eating dinner with his mom.

"I can feel it too." Tyler said but for some reason when he spoke he was fighting back a smile. Reid was right that he did like Jessica but he didn't know anything about her just that she had this vibe about her that he liked.

Pogue and Reid nodded in agreement. Caleb's mom looked a little worried. When Chase came back she lost her husband because he gave Caleb his powers to help him defeat Chase and she was thinking that this time Caleb would be the one to leave her.

"Do you think its Chase?" Reid asked.

"It could very well be." Pogue responded pushing his long brown hair out of his eyes to see if he could figure out what Caleb was thinking. The table went silent, no one moving, no one eating.

"What should we do?" Tyler asked. "We should be prepared just in case he tries the same thing again."

"Well I will be ascending in a few days, we will have three to fight him instead of one." Reid said. Reid was happy that he would finally ascend however the rest of the group was worried that he would over use the power.

"That could be why he is coming back." Tyler put in. Tyler was okay about ascending last. He barely used the power now so he wasn't too worried about becoming addicted to it.

"We should have a meeting. Bring everyone together." Caleb's mom suggested. She looked pale and she had bags under her eyes.

"Mom there is no sense of bringing everyone into this. It could just be one of Reid's sons messing around." Caleb said half heartinly.

"Ha ha very funny." Reid said. "I wasn't that active when I was younger."

"You boys need to take this seriously." Caleb's mom scolded. "He could be back."

"Mom the feeling is different and not as strong. I know it's not him." Caleb said in a soft voice then he grabbed a hold of his mother's hand. "It is kind of soft in a way."

"Than who could it be?" Pogue asked. No on answered.

Jessica sat on her bed reading Shakespeare when Kira walked in. she looked over the top of the book before continuing.

"Shakespeare, huh. I would have thought that you would have chosen something darker." Kira said throwing her shoes in a corner.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Jessica asked resisting the urge to throw something at her.

"Just that you didn't take my advice and stay away from those four." She said with a shrug.

"Remind me why I would ever take your advice on anything."

" Just that at the beginning of the year one of their friends went missing. None of us have heard from him since."

"Maybe he didn't like you." Jessica said then she popped her gum that she was chewing.

"Some said that they killed him. Plus something is really wrong with those four, just saying." Kira said before she left the room. Jessica stared at the door taking in what she said before finally going to sleep.

The next morning all Jessica's teachers were amazed that she had read everything that she needed to read for the week. Jessica felt good that she had broken her promise to her mom because she would not have as much stress of transitioning. As she walked into the dinning hall for lunch she saw the gang all at one table. She slid a seat right next to Sarah. Jessica did a double take of Sarah; she hadn't notice how blonde her hair was. It reminded Jessica of Barbie but in a good way.

"Hey guys." Jessica said to everyone.

"Hey Jess."

"So we are all going to Nicky's on Saturday for my birthday, you game?" Reid asked.

"What's Nicky's?"

"Its just a bar. A major Spencer hangs out." Kate said.

"Yeah I wouldn't miss your birthday."

"Great. We can give you a ride." Tyler said politely. Jessica smiled; Tyler was really starting to grow on her.

"It will just be us three." Reid said in a baby voice looking from Jessica to Tyler. Jessica caught his eye and she stared at him challengingly.

"I am going to go get some food." Jessica announced. As she got up she felt her skirt rid up and she turned around to see that it got caught on her chair. She heard Reid laughing softly and saw his eyes were fully black then back to normal in a flash. "Oops." Jessica said playing it off.

Caleb hit Reid super hard on the arm while giving him a look.

"What?" Reid asked pretending that he didn't know what he did.

As Jessica walked to her dorm after a day of classes she replayed the incident at lunch in her head over and over again. She had been thinking about it since lunch. Were Reid's eyes black like that or was she just seeing things? Then she thought to what Kira had said. All she knew was that she would be keeping a close eye on all four of her new friends.

"Hey Jessica wait up!" Jessica turned around to see Caleb running down the path to her. He came to a stop then he stared to lean forward while breathing hard.

"Out of shape?" Jessica asked jokingly. Caleb smiled up at her.

"I am gasp in perfect gasp shape."

"I can see that. Oh I totally forgot I was going to ask you if wanted to go run a mile with me. My time is about 6 minutes, you can keep up right?"

"Very funny." Caleb said. He straightens up. "I wanted to ask if you wanted to have dinner with my family on Friday night."

"Dinner?"

"Yeah my mom wants to meet you. It will be like you, Reid, Pogue, Tyler, me and Sarah and Kate."

"Uh sure. Sounds like fun." Jessica said happily. This was perfect she thought. She could figure out what was up with these boys, all she have to do was to wait till this weekend.

"Alright Reid, Tyler or Pogue can give you a ride." Caleb said.

"I am going to take Pogue I want to get a ride on that bike of his." Jessica placed her hands on imaginary handlebars and started to swish from side to side.

Caleb laughed. "I will see you later." He said before walking off the way he had come. Caleb went around the corner to where Pogue was standing against a wall. When Pogue saw him he stood up straight and met him halfway.

"You do it?" he asked.

"Yeah she is coming. You think she noticed Reid's eyes?"

"Hard to tell. But he should be more careful about that. He could expose us all." Pogue said. "Tell me again why your mom wants to meet her?"

After every one of the boys left to go back to the dorms Caleb and his mom had a talk. She asked if anyone was new to the school and if he had noticed anything different about them. The only person that was new was Jessica and Caleb's mom wanted to meet her despite Caleb telling her that she could not have the power because only the first born male could have it. Neither less Caleb asked Jessica to dinner, lying that Kate and Sarah would be there.

"I told her that Jessica was new and then she wanted to meet her."

"Do you think that she thinks that Jessica is the one?"

"Yeah but she was fully drunk when she told me to ask her. Who knows what is going on in her head? But she said for it to just be her and us four." Caleb rubbed his eyes softly before sighing.
