Next day at school, Marlene was wearing her casual victory outfit which was a caramel brown leather jacket, a white T-shirt with the word WINNER on in dark brown, regular jeans and red sneakers. She had a nice sleep like everyone else did on the 5th, 6th and 4th floor since Julien was too busy moping to party with his iTunes on full volume. She was still thinking of the hug Skipper had given her last night, it had just felt so right..Like they were ment to be! 'Great, now I'm starting to obsess over this stupid little crush!'she shouted in her head to herself angrily and continued walking to her locker. She knew her locker was opposite to Skipper's like her apartment because she had accidentally bumped into him when she was walking to it. Looking over her shoulder, she caught a glimpse of him at his locker and smiled a little then turned around and blinked,"Hi Skipper!"she greeted cheerfully as she opened her eyes but was bewildered at the sight she saw! HER Skipper was KISSING another girl! The girl looked older than Kowalski, she had fiery red hair, with orange highlights, a black leather coat with an orange belly top and a long, falcon feathered skirt, light brown tights and yellow boots. She had fair skin, illumining yellow lips sick and orange eyes, which in the sunlight appeared to by golden and in the shade appeared to be a brownish-red.
Skipper broke from the kiss with surprise and awkwardly replied,"Heeeey, Mar-lene..."whilst rubbing the back of his head and looking down ashamed when he noticed the bewildered expression on Marlene's face. Marlene felt something on her chest as her eye darted between the ashamed Skipper and the glaring girl. She never really felt like this before, it was a mixture between anger and envy, but she just couldn't put her tongue on it. "Soooo..Who that?"asked Marlene awkwardly whilst nodding her head at the tall girl who kept on switching her gaze between Skipper and Marlene;glancing at Skipper, glaring at Marlene.
"Kitka,"answered the girl in a deep voice and extended her hand to Marlene for a hand shake, which Marlene hesitantly excepted. "What a pleasure to meet you!"greeted Kitka with fake innocence and sarcasm dripping from her voice as she shook Marlene's hand more strongly and purposely crushed her hand. "I'm Skippy's new Girlfriend."informed Kitka smugly and smirked when she saw heartbreak cloud the brunette's hazel eyes. Skipper flinched at the word 'girlfriend' as Kitka had put emphasises on it and that he knew that it might hurt Marlene, just not in that way. Chocking back a sob, Marlene took a couple of steps back and raced down the hallway with tears streaming down her face. "MARLENE! Wait!"he called after her and let go of Kitka to chase after her. However, when Skipper was gone, Kitka smiled sadistically and her eyes (Iris') glowed red.
Marlene ran down the hallway and to her secret hiding place. She was bursting to just sit and cry but she kept on wiping the tears away furiously, she was told to never cry over a boy and she tried to convince herself that it was Kitka's cocky attitude but she knew deep inside her it had something to do with Skipper. 'Am I..Jealou-'wondered Marlene but was interrupted by a voice with a thick spanish accent.
"¿Por such a sad expresión on such a hermoso face, hmm?"asked boy genuinely and brought Marlene's face to look at him. He had hair slightly darker than Marlene's and creamy white highlights, he had jade green eye's and a good upper body. He was wearing a dark brown hoodie;hood down and unzipped, a creamy white T-shirt, chocolate-brown shorts and black Nike shoes. His eye widened when a realisation hit him,"Oh, how could I be so rude? Allow me to introducir myself, I am Antonio Sovilio, I go casa schooled!"he explained sincerely and kissed Marlene's hand, making her blush and look away. As soon as she looked away his eyes (Iris') glowed red and he wore an evil smile on his face. Just then, Skipper arrived panting and Antonio's eyes turned green again and his worried face returned.
"Marlene, listen I am so sorry I didn't tell you sooner! And I apologise for-"
"Well, señior, you should be arrepentido! How could you sadden such a pretty señiorita?"shouted Antonio angrily and turned Marlene and himself away from Skipper in a huff.
Feeling hurt, Skipper took a couple of steps back and hung his head down in shame before quietly replying,"I'll just go, you know I never wanna hurt you.."and walked back down the hallway as a song started playing on a radio on top of Julien's locker,
Both hands, tied behind my back for nothing,
Oh no, these times when we climb so fast to fall again..
Why we gotta fall for it now?!
I never meant to start a war,
You know I never wanna hurt you..!
Don't even know what we're fighting for..!
The soft lyrics floated out side through an open window and reached Marlene's ears which made her think about her and Skipper's rocky friendship, how they were sometimes best friends and how other times they fought like there was no tomorrow. She new Skipper would never try to hurt her but she did feel hurt and Skipper had something to do with him. The quietness in the lyric's made her doze off but they were still spinning in her head.
Why does love alway like a,
Battlefield..
A battlefield..
A battlefield?
As she began to doze off, Antonio's eye's turned red again and a snarl came to his lips as he glared at her, with soulless eyes. The sunlight shone on a certain necklace she was wearing and it reflected in his eyes, making him smirk a little when he saw the prize he was searching for. Reaching out for the necklace, he narrowed his eyes and lunged for it with his hand but as soon as he made contact, it reflected an light-yellow, nearly invisible blast at his and burned his skin. "AHHH!"screamed Antonio noiselessly and backed away quietly to examine his hand then glared at the necklace his eyes turned a deeper shade of red and he fully disappeared.
Meanwhile, as Skipper slumped down the hallway and accidentally crashed into Kitka. "Ooh! Sorry, dollface! I just have a lot on my mind.."he commented half-heartedly.
"I'm fine, but I know what to do for your stress! Follow me!"she ordered happily and raced into an empty classroom. "Take a seat!"she told Skipper and patted at one, which Skipper excepted. "Now close your eyes.."she instructed and smiled sadistically when he closed his eyes. She reached out to the necklace he was wearing and her eyes turned red again, however when she just came near it, to glowed out an invisible wave of power and burned Kitka's hand and sides. Her eyes turned blood-red and she screamed a demonic, ear-piercing scream before vaporizing into thin air. This made Skipper's eyes snap open and he jumped out of his chair in a fighting stand but was surprised to see ashes where Kitka was standing,"Hello?"he called out and raced out into the hallway to see Marlene running up to him."Skipper!"she cried and hugged Skipper which made him blush lightly and hug her back.
"Listen, I'm really sorry..I don't know why Kitka was acting like that, we just met in the morning, had a small conversation and before I could say 'hi' to you she grabbed my shirt and kissed me! I was too shocked to say much so.."
Marlene calmly interrupted Skipper,"No, it's ok! I should be apologising from Antonio's behaviour, he was so kind to me and he mentioned something about casa schooled or whatever. I forgive you, I was just overreacting." and smiled at Skipper with that heartwarming smile.
"Friends?"questioned Skipper hopefully.
"We always were!"retorted Marlene calmly as she and Skipper shared a high-five and sat down went inside the classroom for history.
"Hey class! Today we're looking at the old legend of New York!"exclimed Mrs. Danglehooper and put lights off in the class room. "Bada, be a dear and close the curtain behind you! You to Caimile Leon! Thanks!"she acknowledged gratefully and turned to the her interactive whiteboard screen. "Now back in 1997, they say a great evil got unleashed in a hospital, apparently three babies were born! Two of them were destined to be together and the other one was a sidekick."told the teacher excitedly and paused for a breath break then continued. "There was also another child who was a sorceress and protected them with her magic, she made the sidekick as old as her and they left the babies on two separate door steps for their protection. After that they were never seen again and the babies are said to be the only survivors in the cause!"she finished and turned the lights back on.
In the back row, Private seemed really interested,"Was there anything else?"proposed the young boy curiously with wide eyes.
This made Kowalski blow up,"Private! Are you actually gonna believe that stuff?!"and roll his eyes angrily.
"Well, there is one small detail now that you mention it. They say that the babies had these magical necklaces!"she told him and pressed the board to make it show two different necklaces that looked like Skipper's and Marlene's, making them both wide-eyed.
'No way, is that..MY necklace?!'wondered the two and looked down at their necklaces which seemed to sparkle in that mystical way...
Later at night, Marlene stared outside her window into the everlasting, stray night. She couldn't get the history lesson out of her head, she wondered if she was one of the babies or if she was adopted. Then she began to think about Skipper, the way they acted around one-another when they first met. "What if..I'm one of the babies, what if Skipper's the one who's destined to be with me..What if?"she wondered out loud and layed down in her coco brown and pink duvet.
Meanwhile, in a dark land full of captured souls,"Summon the failures."instructed a grey and black ghost as he stared down at Skipper and Marlene. Moments later, Kita and Antonio appeared in front of him with anxious faces. "Antonio and Kitka, you two have failed me. I am very disappointed, especially in you Miss Kitka. I will now have to eliminate both of you;permanently."
"NO! Please! We'll do anything! We'll never fail you again!"shouted Kitka as she struggled against her will."No! PLEASE! NOOOOOOOOO!"she shouted as she and Antonio vaporised forever.
"Mwahahahahaha!"cackled the ghost before shifting into a human and transporting into the into the mortal world. "*sigh* Why do interns never work?"
