The Secret

"Tell me now," Richelle ordered Reynard as they were walking down the hall.

Reynard looked to see if anyone was looking. "You know how he acts when people ask about what life was like in France…"

"Yea, he seems to get a little defensive."

"…Arceneaux gets a little hostile about Jayson when he asked about you…," Reynard changed the subject.

"Reynard,"

"Fine, you weren't supposed to be born.*"

Richelle gave him an unbelieving look.

"You had something wrong with you, but for some reason couldn't be aborted. They had you and Lyle never really liked you because you were an 'incapable' child. You couldn't help yourself, but your power saved you from being aborted…that's kind of why I always made sure you were somewhere near me when Lyle would make me go off or something happened. Your power not only protects you, but the people close to you." Reynard paused for a moment. "No matter how much Lyle can mimic, he'll lose his ability if he tried to mimic your entire power. You surpass Arceneaux by at least a hundred times. You might have some control over it, but I'll be a while until you can control all of it."

Richelle still wasn't following what he was saying. Reynard waited for a moment to let it all sink in as they walked down the Fine Arts hall way. There was a piano playing. The music was beautiful. Richelle decided to look into the band room. At the piano, was one of the pale-looking boys. He had curly-brown hair.

"That's Edward Cullen," Reynard told her.

"He's already taken. He's going out with Bella Swan," It was Jayson's voice." "Sorry, I had to get my Oboe." He passed through them and got his instrument, "Hey I do know what you're saying…most of the time."

Edward got up and left as two girls came into the band room."

"Yeah Mr. Crane said that the test is going to be the easiest test he would give," Wen said.

"It was super easy," the other girl replied.

Wen looked at Jayson, "You have pit practice tonight?"

Reynard and Richelle stayed and listened in on their conversation.

"Yea, we're practicing with the actors tonight. Why?"

"Just make sure the actors don't break anything."

"Oh, ok, just make sure you build things right."

"I didn't build that…the first two times…**"

"Well, you were there when they built it, so-"

"Never mind," Wen interrupted. "Maya and I have to work on a project."

"I'll text you later."

"She doesn't have unlimited texting," Maya scolded.

"Fine then I'll text YOU," Jayson corrected pointing at Maya.

As the girls left the room, Reynard and Richelle heard Maya say, "He's not going to text us."

"I'm not going to text them… Oh yeah, Edward Cullen, He's going out with that Bella Swan. Actually there are movies on them too, but the Character's names in the book apparently have the same name as them. I'll see you later,"

He left Reynard and Richelle standing there wondering what to think. They soon left to find Arceneaux and Lyle.

A/N: I'm sooooooooo sorry that it took forever to load this up. The musical was great. Both the choral and tech director were crying (Mostly the choral director) because they said we performed the show at a college level, but now I'm extremely tired. I can't wait for spring break to come up and then I CAN SLEEP. I'll try to type up the next chapter and upload it soon.

*In France if the fetus isn't healthy, they abort it, so there is no one in wheelchairs or has any problems. (I don't know why)

**Ok here's the story on this one. During tech for the musical, we made these beds that the actors were suppose to use. The first one took FOREVER to cut and put to gather because we couldn't find any 2x4s. When we're almost finished Joe wanted to see if it would hold him, and it did, but Matt (Both of these guys are currently seniors) did a body slam on the bed and it busted (more like exploded) in half. So, we had to remake it. The other bed that we made cracked at the wheels so we had to remake it. And then, after the first bed was used for practice, it broke again. After we brought it back into the tech shop on of the actors came in and smashed it with a sledgehammer (Into little pieces). That was only a few days before the actual production. We had to stay until 9:00 that afternoon to remake it….again… So much wood was wasted. And we had to paint it too.

I have another tech story to tell, but it'll come in a later chapter…I hope I can remember it.
