Three years later Destiny and Warren were returning for yet another year at Sky High. Destiny had been away all summer and she saw Warren walking up the stairs into the school, she walked towards her but as she did she felt a pain in her backside. She turned around and saw Thomas, a guy with laser powers, has done it, she held out held hands and froze both him and his friend. Destiny smiled to herself and kept walking towards Warren.

She grabbed onto his arm, he turned around and a smile spread across his face when he saw her "Destiny" he said hugging her. "Oh my God! You've missed me!" Destiny joked, Warren laughed "Yeah I have" he answered warmly.

They walked into the school laughing and catching up, discussing things that happened over the holidays. Suddenly Warren went really quite and his face tensed. "Are you alright Warr?" Destiny asked.

"Yeah" Warren said still looking in the other direction "Look, I'll see you at lunch ok?" he told her before walking off.

Destiny watched him walk away wondering what had happened, she shrugged it off and decided she would talk to him at lunch.

She groaned as she felt two arms wrap around her several times and then a head rest against hers. "And I was having such a nice morning" Destiny sighed.

"Ooo ouch!" Lash said unwrapping his arms and putting his hand over his heart. "So how was your summer break babe, did you miss me?"

"Oh yeah it was absolutely awful not being stalked and harassed by you" she answered.

"Of course it was, I can't even begin to imagine how horrible life must be without me around" He agreed "You some nights I lay awake in bed feeling sorry for all those people out there who have never gotten the chance to bask in the wonder that is me" he finish poetically and shook his head.

Destiny laughed in spite of herself. Lash grinned knowing that she was enjoying their conversation. "And you know Des, it wouldn't really be harassment if you would just agree to go out with me"

"Lash you know I would rather swallow razor blades" she said sweetly.

"Come on Destiny I'm not that bad, I make you laugh" Lash said putting his arm around her shoulder.

"Yeah but so do a lot of other things" She pointed out.

"Come babe give me a chance! Three years I have been trying just give me a go" Lash begged. "I promise you won't regret it"

"Prove it" Destiny said with a smile.

"How can I prove it if you wont go out with me" Lash asked getting frustrated.

"I don't know but if you find a way to I will consider it ok?" Destiny said "Catch you later!" Destiny smiled to herself, Lash was a pretty nice guy when he wanted to be, but he could also be a complete ass and that was what he was when he was around Speed. Destiny sighed and walked to class.

When class was over Destiny walked over to where Warren was sitting. Everyone was scared of Warren, because one day he finally snapped and attacked someone who insulted his father. Since then hardly anyone had talked to him, and no one but him and Destiny sat at his table.

As she walked towards Warren she stopped. "Zach?" she said to a boy with really blonde hair who was sitting at a table across from Warrens.

"Destiny?" he answered.

"Oh my god, I forgot you were coming here this year!" she said hugging him "How are you! How did power placement go?"

"Dude, that coach Boomer is an idiot! I'm a sidekick!" Zach told her, shaking his head at the injustice.

"Oh that sucks! What's your power?" Destiny said sympathetically.

"I glow" Zach told her, she just blinked in disbelief "Watch" he told her and clapped his hand together. Nothing happened but Zach looked prouder than ever.

"Wow, uh, that's incredible Zach" Destiny told him trying to sound encouraging "Um, don't worry Boomer doesn't have any idea what he's doing you'll show him"

"Yeah, thanks oh dude sorry I forgot. Guys" he turned to the people he was sitting with "This is my cousin Destiny. Destiny this is the guys" she said hi to them and then walked over to Warren.

Warren was glaring at one of the people Zach had been sitting with. "Warr? Are you alright" he nodded but didn't turn around "What is up with you today Warren? Did something happen over the holidays that you want to talk about?" Warren shook his head.

Warren didn't talk all of lunch, it upset Destiny a bit seeing as she hadn't seen her best friend all summer and now he was pretty much ignoring her. She walked out the front of the school and sat down under a tree, she sighed and looked up watching the clouds float by.

She felt someone sit beside her, she didn't see who it was but hoped it was Warren. Her heart sank a little when she heard Lashes voice "You know, I think clouds are stupid" he told her.

"Oh?" she answered.

"Yeah, I mean they don't really do anything do they? They just block patches of the sky" He said.

"Lash" She started "They make it rain you idiot"

"Oh" Lash said "My mistake. Are you alright? You seem upset you're not your usual happy self" Destiny looked away, she didn't really want to talk about Warren especially not with Lash. "It's the hothead isn't it? Des, that guy is nothing but trouble"

Destiny snorted "Rich, coming from you"

"Doesn't make it any less true does it?" Lash became quite serious.

Destiny sat up and turned to look at him "Warren is my friend and he cares about me"

"I care about you and I would be your friend but you never give me a chance" Lash told her.

Destiny groaned and slumped back on the ground, they were back in the 'relationship' conversation "You didn't exactly make a good first impression did you?"

"So I messed up and offended precious Warren one time and you are going to hold it against me for the rest of my life? Destiny it happened three years ago. I was fourteen!" Lash said with a sad look on his face.

Destiny thought about it for a while "You're right" Lash looked shocked "How about Friday night we go out as friends and see how it goes from there?"

"Really?" Lash smiled, Destiny nodded and sat up next to him, he then elbowed her playfully and said "You totally want me" Destiny laughed and elbowed him back.

Destiny didn't realize that Warren had been standing by the whole time and had heard every word. Warren felt as if his heart had been ripped out of his chest and stepped on. How could Destiny do this to him? They had been friends for five years and knew everything about each other. Couldn't she tell he was in love with her? He had been for almost four years now and she was about to go on a date with that dickhead? He couldn't believe it. Warren stormed off to class.

Destiny didn't see Warren for the rest of the day, when she got home she opened her bedroom window and reached out knocking on the window across from her. Warren lived right next door to her and his bedroom window was only about a meter from hers. She knocked and knocked until finally Warren walked over and opened it.

"What?" he spat out at her.

"What is your problem today Warren?" she said slightly disgusted by his behavior.

"Nothing, just leave me alone" He told her sourly.

"Don't you dare do that to me Warren" She glared at him.

"Do what?" He asked.

"Push me out, like you do to everyone else" She put her hands on her hips "I'm your friend so don't even try to treat me that way" she voice softened when she said "Now what's the matter?"

Warren sat down with one leg hanging over the window ledge. "Stronghold's come to Sky High this year"

"Will Stronghold?"

"Yeah"

"Oh…" Destiny looked at him sympathetically "Oh I should have realized, my cousin Zach introduced he to him today, I should have known. I'm really sorry Warr." Her voice trailed off but then she asked worriedly "You aren't going to hurt him are you?" Warren stayed quiet "Warren?" Again he said nothing "Promise me you aren't going to do anything Warren, he's a side kick you could really hurt him" Warren smirked a little "Warren!"

Warren laughed and then answered "Ok, I promise" They sat and talked for a while, neither of them decided to bring up Lash in the conversation, Destiny didn't know what Warren would think (she knew he hated him), and Warren really didn't want her talking about him.

Eventually they said goodnight and climbed into bed.
