Oh yeah, I do not own W.I.T.C.H. or any of the characters, the plot is totally a work of my twisted little mind...

Busted #5: Monday Morning

Will's POV

True to her word, my mom had delivered me school this morning, making me wait in the car until it was time to go inside. She was making sure I had as little time as possible to be with the other Guardians.

I sat in the passenger seat and silently fumed. Sunday had been horrible, I stayed in my room only leaving it to eat or go to the bathroom. I was trapped in the apartment with her, neither of us talking or looking at the other during meals. No phone meant no contact with the outside world, so I didn't know what happened to the girls when they got home...but I knew we were all in the same boat, pretty much.

What are we going to do if Meridian gets attacked? What am I thinking, I know its only a matter of time before Cedric or Phobos return...they never give up. What about Earth? We have enemies here too. If all our parents try to force us to break up, we're screwed. I can't let that happen...my responsibilities are too important.

Suddenly this wasn't just about me and Matt. There was so much more at risk.

The bell rang and kids started t move towards the door, I looked at my mom and she nodded. Finally permitted, I opened the door and started inside, trying not to look too obvious as I scanned for the other Guardians while still within my mother's sights.

Finally inside the building, I relaxed and hurried to our lockers. Cornelia and Irma were already there. No sign of Taranee or Hay Lin yet. But just seeing two of my friends made me feel tons better. As I walked up to my friends, I continued to scan for Matt, worried about the wrath he had faced with his parents...maybe they pulled him out of Sheffield or worse sent him to military school. Suddenly my mind was full of horrible possibilities, and being phoneless I had no way of knowing what really had happened.

I could feel tears starting to fill my eyes, just as Corny and Irma wrapped me in a group hug.

"Shh, it's okay," Irma soothed.

"Yeah, don't cry...our parents are nowhere near as tough as Nerissa, we can take 'em," joked Cornelia.

I sniffled and ran a hand across my eyes, nodding my agreement, "Where's Caleb? What about Taranee and Hay Lin? The guys?

"Okay," Cornelia began to dish, "here's what you've missed. Hay Lin, Eric, Caleb, Irma, and me are not grounded. But Taranee, Peter, Matt and Nigel are in the dog house."

Irma added, "Like you, we haven't been able to talk to Nigel and Matt, so Caleb went to catch up with them before class."

"Peter IM'd me again before school and told me that he and Taranee are grounded but would meet us at lunch."

"Okay, so the plan is we meet at lunch?," I summarized.

"Yep," Corny replied and began dragging me off to first period.

Will's planning something... Check out the other Busted stories, each guardian gets her own story that ties them together.

Please review! Cheers!
