Anyways, onward to the story!
Chapter Three: Secrets Unlocked (and in a way you wouldn't expect!)
Krissy's POV
I turned around to see who had tugged me back into their chest, and realized, to my absolute disgust, that Michael, my used-to-be-friend had held me back. Ewww, I'm totally disgusted, why would he do that to me??? I just don't get it, he seems to never get that I still feel awkward around him. Okay, this is weird, I'm pretty sure everyone here knows my awkwardness around Michael, and yet no one is helping me. But on the other hand, everyone is probably scared out of their wits, because I am too. But anyways, enough with my thoughts, I need to get Michael off of me.
But, when I went to shove him off, something totally unexpected happened. Instead of using my hands to push Michael off, jets of waves blew out of them and shoved Michael all the way down to the other end of the pool. Oh no, I thought, this could be really bad. I'm not a mean person, I just don't like Michael's presence. I guess it's time to resolve this awkwardness, it's always been me feeling awkward, not him. But, what did I just do? Why am I so weird now? I stare down at my hands, but nothing seems weird??
"Are you alright Michael?"
I looked up from my hands, to see Will and Kyle huddling around Michael, asking him if he was okay. I hope so, or I'll feel really bad if he was hurt, especially the day before we're going to leave for the school. I really shouldn't have done that. But anyways, I swam up to Michael, and was about to apologize for my bad doing, but instead, Michael held up his hand and said,
"I'm fine everyone. Krissy, you have no need to apologize, I know I deserved it. I'm fine, really, but I'm still confused, how did you do that?"
"Well, I"m still going to say it. I'm really sorry Michael, and I shouldn't have done that even if I didn't like it. However, as for the question you asked, even I'm not sure what happened, so that just gives me more the reason to say sorry. But I do know this, the water that hit you felt as if it came from my hands, but I don't know how."
Before Michael could even answer to that, Max interrupted by saying,
"You can't be serious are you? How could you have even done that Krissy? It's, like... um, impossbile for someone to do that, isn't it? No one can, I mean, like control teh elements, right? Please tell me I'm right Krissy."
Wow, that's the first time I've heard Max beg. But I can't really tell her that she's right, because for all I know, I could be able to control the element of water.
"Oh my god!!" "Ah!" We, meaning everyone, turned around to see who screamed and were faced to a horrified Sera and Pebble staring right at me. Um, I don't have anything weird on me do I? But, when I followed Sera's and Pebble's line of image, I was staring down at my legs, but they weren't really legs anymore. I too, screamed, an end-of-the-world scream that is. Same thing went for Max, Angel, Fang, Kyle, Nudge, and Gazzy, but their screams, squeals, or whatever the noises they made were called, weren't as loud as mine. Iggy, on the other hand was shouting about wondering what was happening. Serena had already went inside to help with stuff. The remainging people, Michael, Ella, and Will were looking at us curiously, not knowing what was going on, or wrong with me.
After about five minutes of sudden shock, Angel recovered and said,
"So, um guys. Do you all master the fact that Krissy has, well, seemed to grown fins?"
"WHAT?!!!!!" exclaimed Michael, Ella, Iggy, and Will in unison.
"Yes guys, I have fins. More like I've turned into everyone believes to only exist in fairy tales, a mermaid."
"but why is it that everyone else can see them, but we can't?" Ha, always will asking the right questions!
"Truthfully Will, I don't know, I really don't know."
"Well, because you know, I'm blind, can I try to touch your fins? I want to try to feel them. Maybe I can actually feel them."
"Sure Iggy. not a problem, but you're gonna have to move forward about 10 strokes, so then I can let you try to touch them."
Just thinking about Iggy being like this is so depressing. Iggy is blind and all, but it never seemed to be a problem, his hearing is soo good that he'll be able to look right at you when you're talking, and so you forget that he's blind, but then in times like these that you realize Iggy is still blind, and innocent(JK, not really) as ever.
When Iggy swam was able to swim in front of me, I lifted my fin towards Iggy so he could reach them. WHen he reached out to touch them, I felt a firey sensation coming off of his hands. Mmm, that's weird, but whatever, it's probably just my imagination. After feeling my fin, iggy remarked,
"I CAN FEEL THEM!!!! Yeah, they're really scaley, but smooth at the same time, and I can feel the coldness of the rubbery feeling fin skin should have. Yeah, I can feel them!" Ha, Iggy is such a child! He's acting as if he just got his favorite toy for hie birthday.
"But, why is it that we can't see them!!!! I want to try to touch them as well!" Ella, and her whining.
"Sure ya Ella, go ahead, but I"m pretty sure you won't be able to feel them."
"Oh, so you know why this is happening?"
"No I don't Michael, I just have a feeling that you guys won't be able to feel them?" Truthfully, I know they won't be able to touch it. If the people who can see, then they should be able to see my fins, so I"m sure if they can't, "AGH!!" Oh jeez, Michael is such a butt head, he just had to swim down towards my feet and grab me under the water. Ugh, I can't bre---, wait I feel bubbles coming out of my throat, I tried to feel if there was anything unusual, but I don't feel anything? (HA! Idea from MAXIMUM RIDE: MAX!!!)
Pebble's POV (you wanted to talk, there you have it!)
Woah. That was totally unexpected. Krissy, and fins, a mermaid???? That's just, wow, I don't know what to say really. Everyone seems as shocked as I am, but I'm not surprised about that. I mean really, Krissy has fins??? Well, duh, everyone knows how much Krissy loves the water, and that she's a pure natural, but does she really need the fins??? ACK! I can't stop thinking about it. But to tell you the truth, it's not disgusting that Krissy has fins, it's more rather of a shock. I just find this information just a little weird. Who would be able to guess that something like that was going to happen?
Anyways, looks like Max is saying something, I should probably stop daydreaming now, and listen to what Max has to say.
"Okay, I think we should probably just stop debating on why Krissy has these fins. I believe that all in good times, the truth will come out." Oh, wow, Max is kinda sounding like how Krissy would talk like.
"Hey Max!"
"WHAT?!!! Pebble, I'm trying to talk here, can you tell?!!!" Woah, Max no need to be soo frustrated.
"Oops, my bad! But since when did you start "going with the flow and see what happens?", I quoted with my hands. "Cuz last time I checked, Max would never go with the flow!"
"Well, I'm not going with the flow, it's just because there isn't much decision I can make on why Krissy ahas fins. Even I don't know."
"Ooooo, Maw the so-called-know-it-all actually doesn't know the answer to a question!!!"
"Shut up Iggy." We both said in unison.
"Anyways, I believe we've had enough commotion out here, why don't we go inside for some drinks, and afterward, I have the perfect thing for us to do! How des that sound?" Max and her leaderlyship, but looking at Max's face, I couldn't help but think that she was up to something, but I coudln't tell what it was.
"Hello? Anyone in there Pebble?" Oh, wow Max was waving her hand in front of my face. Oops, I'm daydreaming again!
"Oh, I'm very sorry, but what were you saying?"
"I was saying, 'How does that sound?'"
"Oh, my bad, yeah I'm fine with that."
"Okay then, everyone head into the showers to take your baths, and then meet me in the kitchen!"
"OKAY!!" Wow, everyone's a little too excited, but they grabbed there stuff, headed to the showers, well everyone but Krissy that is.
Krissy's POV (I know your probably asking why I keep putting it on Krissy's POV, but this chapter is mainly about her, and you need to know this part)
Everyone had already headed into the house, but my fins needed time to time to disappear. Thank god! I was pretty scared that I wouldn't be able to turn back into my normal self, and that would be a disaster, stuck in Max's pool for eternity! Hmm, that's weird, I feel kinda funny. Is something wrong? I looked down upon my feet and legs, to see that not only had my legs changed back, but I was completely attired in clothes that I never had. I looked beside my to see that my suit was already neatly folded, That's weird, how'd that happen?Well, I don't really care, this outfit is pretty cool. I have a light blue skirt flowing in the wind like waves, and my shirt, about the same design, just white, It's really pretty really.
I should get going, Max is probably waiting fr my. I picked up my bag, and felt a sudden vibration. Oh, it must be my phone, I checked my phone to see that Tom, my cousin had texted me saying,
Hey there! U still remember me coming to ur house right? -T
OH jeez, I totally forgot. I can't believe I forgot my own cousin was coming to the talent school with us. I need to tell Max as well, I forgot, I'm such a doofus. Anyways, I typed back:
Sorry! I completely forgot. I can't believe myself.
About a minute later, he texted saying,
No worries I'm not mad. Just wanted u to know, I should be at ur house in ten min.
Oh jeez, he can't go to my house ugh, I need to tell MAX!
Uh, Tom, I'm at Max's house, remember her? She's going to be sending us to the school. Come to her house ok?
He said,
Sure, I'll be there. I'm out.
Ugh, I can't belive myself! I completely forgot about my cousin, what type of person am I???
IN THE KITCHEN, Max's POV
Everyone's here, except Krissy. That's weird, I wonder where she is? Everyone was drinking their favorite drinks, well not everyone, because Fang, and Kyle weren't. Pebble on the other hand was drinking her handmade coffee, and she was pretty much jumping off the walls, talking a mile an hour, like Nudge does sometime, when suddenly, Krissy comes running in, panting. I first thing I noticed was her outfit though, she was definitely not wearing a skirt like that when she came here, right?
"Yes Max, I wasn't wearing this outfit, but whatever, I can tell you about it later, but first I have something more important I need to tell you."
"What?" Looking at Krissy's face, and seeing how she's panting so much, I guess she has something serious to say.
"Yes, Max, this is very serious. i totally forgot about it, and I'm ashamed of myself."
'okay, then Krissy calm down and tell me what's wrong."
"Oh, well you do remember my cousin Tom, right?" Why was she acting so weird, and why bring up Tom?
"Yea... but your point?"
"Well, Tom had also enrolled into the talent school months before us, and was expecting to come with me, but since I'm going with you guys, Tom has to come here, and he's going to be here in, um... old on a sec."
Wait, what? What is going on? All I process was Tom was coming here because he was enrolled in the same school as us, but---
"In like five min."
"WHAT??!!"
"I know, I very sorry, but, I still feel really bad."
"It's okay Krissy. i understan, but let's just wait until Tom gets here, and then we'll play my game."
"Oh, okay, then you aren't mad?"
"Yup, not mad."
Then with that, Krissy went over to Kyle and sat into his lap. Kyle, on the other hand wrapped his arms around her waist. I smiled, they are sooo sweet together, it's hard to believe Krissy actually dated other people before, and now Krissy can talk around guys with no problem of getting shy. It's quite amazing!
"Are you okay Mcihael?" I looked up from my thoughts and looked over to where Krissy was kneeling in front of Michael and asking how he was, and about earlier.
"Im fine Krissy, really you need to stop worrying about me."
"But, I'm really sorry, so---" Without any hestiance, Krissy wrapped Michael into a hug. Wow, Krissy, when did you become unawkward with Michael? Krissy is such a nice person, but ---
Ding Dong
Oh, looks like Tom is here. I headed to the door, but Krissy seemed a little too excited in seeing her cousin, or maybe she just wants to apologize for what she forgot, but that sounds like Krissy.
Once, I got to the door, I heard Krissy saying,
"But, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have forgotten about you."
"Hey, Krissy, stop criticizing yourself. It's OK, I'm fine with it. no more need for apologizing."
I cleared my throat, getting their attention. Krissy looked up at me and smiled.
"Hi Max!"
"Um, hi. Is that Tom?"
"Yup, that's me." Wow, I must have bad memory, is it just me, or did he just change a lot?
"Well nice meeting you again. Come Krissy, Kyle seems to be a little jealous!'
"What? Kyle jealous, because of my cousin? sounds like him, but he does owe me his life anyways." but with that, Krissy just left.
Huh? What was Krissy talking about? Has Kyle done something wrong to her before, it doesn't seem possible.
"You'll find out sooner or later, just give Krissy some time. Krissy is known for keeping her feelings inside of her, and so a lot of times, her parents don't even know what's going on in her head.
"Oh, ok. Let's go to the kitchen Tom."
BACK IN THE KITCHEN BEFORE Tom, Max, or Krissy RETURN, Kyle's POV
Ugh. To tell you the truth, I hate having to watch Krissy go off like that. It seems like she cares for everyone in this whole entire world, and she devotes the same amount of heart to those around her. I know I"m being greedy, but, I really do want Krissy all to myself, but thinking about what I did to her, I shouldn't want that.
"... my? Sounds like him, but he does owe me his life anyways."
Woah, I bet that was Krissy. It's true though, I do owe Krissy me life for what I did, and I'm not going to and planning on telling anyone anytime soon. Well that is until Krissy is ready to talk about it.
"I hear your jealous!" Wow Krissy. At least you didn't scream it out loud, but whispered it into my ear.
"Nan, I'm not. I just don't like you running away from me to see someone else."
"well, to me, that's pretty mush the same thing."
"Whatever, but I'm keeping you to myself for now, and you're not going anywhere." With that, I grabbed her waist and spun her around into may lap.
Krissy, rather embarassed, took her hands and put them to her face. She's so cute when she does that.
Max's POV
Okay, now with everyone here, I can play my game now. YEAH!!!!
"Okay guys, let's get into a circle, wer're going to play my game, and everyone, I mean everyone, has to play, and participate. The game, in which I like to call it, Secrets Unlocked. Okay, how to play, well, the game is like Would You Rather? You get three answers though. the two given by the person, and neither. But, on account, if you say neither, you must reveal one of your life's hardships, or secrets you've never told anyone before. I know this game is a pit about personal info, but I must say this again, everyone must participate in the game, and everyone must say neither once. I'll start, and once I finish in a circle, the person to my right, or Ella will do the same until we come back around to me. Everyone clear?"
"Yup, no problems!" Everyone agreed, so let's get started.
"OKay, Ella, you're first. Would you rather, Kyle or Georgie?"
"Um, first I didn't know if I should have asked, but what did you mean by would you rather?"
"Oh, well it means of the two, which one do you like more?"
"I have to answer right?"
"Yes Ella, you have to."
"Oh, ok, then I would choose... um, ----" Ella said it so softly even I couldn't hear it.
"Wait, what did you say, could you please say it louder?"
"Oh, well it's Kyle."
"WHAT?!!!!" Oh, ouch. That hurts my ears, but Krissy is pissed. Ugh, I hate it when she's pissed, because an angry Krissy is very scary.
"Um, Krissy, calm down, it's just a game."
"Yeah, yeah, I know, but you have know idea what I went through."
Hmm, again, she's acting really weird. I wonder what Kyle did to make Krissy so protective of him, or herself.
"Fine, I'm not going to say anything, just that I"m sorry. Anyways, Nudge, who would you rather, Iggy or Gazzy?"
"Oh well, you se, I probably should think for a bit. Hmmm, let's see, I'd like Iggy more as a bf, and Gazzy, more of a brother, what would you have meant?"
"Um, br material, sure. But remember next time, just one answer please?"
"Sure, whatever."
"Now, Angel, who would you rather be your brother, Will or Michael?"
"Hmm, since I can only pick one, I would say, Will, sorry Michael, I don't really know you that well."
"No harm done Angel."
"Okay Angel, Krissy, who would you rather, Fang or Will." WE all know Will is just like a big brother towards Krissy, and we also know Fang has a soft spot for Krissy's attitude(as a really little sister) , wonder which one she's going to pick. MAybe she's picking neither, but then what secret would she tell? Cautiously looking at Krissy, I could tell she was deep in thought.
"Well, they're about the same. They both treat me, more like spoil me with their "brotherly" love, so I choose neither. And yes I get the fact that I have to say my secret, but we're going to have to go sometime, might as well say it now."
For some reason though, I can't scratch the feeling that Krissy's secret is going to be depressing?
Ha! did you think I'm finished yet!!! I sure am!
JK, I'm not finished, yet! Okay, I just wanted to actually tell you, I really want more reviews. I know I get like 5 each chapter, but I really think my story isn't that bad. PLEASE, I want more reviews!!!!
Okay, back to the story!! Just a heads up, Krissy is slighty hestiant on telling this story, and the "story" was inspired by a few friends of mine, along with a Chinese Drama! Love the ideas they give me!!!
STORY TIME!!!
Krissy's POV
Okay, I'm going to tell them about the horrifing past I've had with Kyle. It's not pretty either. Like I said earlier, Kyle does owe me his life, so hearing Ella like Kyle more over Georgie kind of made me burst, but I think telling this will prevent from what happened from happening again. Well, at least I hope it does.
"Okay, just before I start, could I ask you guys a favor. When I'm talking please don't interrupt, I'll stop talking, and I won't be able to continue, so please don't say a word, ok?"
When everyone agreed, I took a deep breath, and started,
"Okay, I"m pretty sure you guys thought I was a shy and quiet person when you guys became my friends this year, but you should know, I was nothing like that before then. I wasn't as shy, and I was more happy back then. Obviously I"m happy now, but not for my first two high school years. You can ask Will, Kyle, or even Tom, they all know. I, back then, used to trust every single word every person had said, well everything that didn't really involve learning stuff. However, because of the incident with kyle, I've been more cautious of what I do, what I say, and whom I trust. "
"At the beginning of my freshmen year, I was dating Will for about 6 months now, but, obviously, we realized we were fit more as friends, so we stopped our relationship, and now you know us as really close "siblings"."
"Well, continuing on with the story, I met Kyle my freshmen year in my history class. I thought Kyle and I were really similar, so we became instant friends, getting along really well. First meeting him, i always thought that kyle couldn't possibly the normal kind of guy I knew back then, a guy who seems really nice, but ends up being a complete jerk. Only at that time, my brother, Will and Tom weren't those kind of people, and I thought Kyle was like that too. But I was soon proven wrong."
"I had heard from one of my friends freshmen year that Kyle had liked Erin Brooks, which many of you should know, as more of than a friend. So, I heard that Kyle had asked Erin out to homecoming, but she turned him down. Kyle was rather sad for about a week, but then it seemed like he got his act together, and he asked me to homecoming. Most everyone thought he was a freak, and deep down I knew it took, but by that time, I started to have feelings for Kyle, and so I said yes, but later, at homecoming, I overheard his friends saying that I was just a replacement, and how sad it was that I was being used."
"Already rather hurt, I wanted to know the truth, so I went to Kyle, and asked him. As it turns out, Kyle's friends were right, I was ust a replacement. I was heartbroken, I left him, and went to dance with my friends."
"A semester later, we switched classes, and I didn't have any classes with Kyle anymore. The sad thing, well whenever I wanted to try to talk to him, he woudl look at me with eyes he would give to a stranger. With that, my heart hurt even more. Later, I was told that Ky le had started dating Erin. I was sooo confused at that point, I didn't even know what to do. So I forced myself to keep busy, whether it was learning, reading, drawing, playing, I did anything I could to get him out of my head."
"When I thought things couldn't get worse, it didn't, to my surprise. Kyle had seemd to come to his sense, and started talking to me. In the beginning, I thought it wasn't possible, but soon my doubts were washed away, and my heart was refilled with happiness. Only, to my disgust and pure shock, Erin once confronted me and said I had stolen her precious Kyle. I had no idea what was going on, and I was too confused. So, when Kyle came up to see what was wrong, I asked him if he had broken up with Erin, and he answered that he hadn't."
"Realization dawned onto me, and I realized Erin and Kyle were playing with my heart again. My heart was shattered into a million pieces, and I didn't know what to do, so I ran outside of school, and thank god it was after school."
*sigh* I can't believe I got through that whole part, but nw I think it's time for Kyle to move on with the story.
Kyle's POV
Krissy, she's so sweet, and I can't believe I didn't realize it earlier, and now I feel really bad for her. I wasn't playing with her, it was Erin who played Krissy. Erin had figured out I had started moving on from her and started to like Krissy a little too much to her liking.
"Okay, I do believe to continue the story, Kyle should talk about his point of view from this point 'til the end."
Wow, she actually wants me to talk about it. Okay, here goes,
"Continuing on then, Krissy had ran off outside, pretty much, as you can tell, heartbroken. I couldn't believe it. I, truthfully, did not play around with Krissy, it was Erin's jealously that cause Erin herself to play with Krissy's mind. I tried to chase after Krissy, but Erin tried to hold me back, but I didn't let her, and was able to make my way outside. I found Krissy, but Krissy, was obviously mad as anything, and said if she had an eraser, she would completely erase all memories she had of me. Deep down, I knew I deserved it, but I didn't want that to happen. I followed her all the way down to the town cetner on bus."
"Seeing as how Krissy wouldn't get off the bus at any stop, I dragged her off. She was screaming and shouting at me to let her go, but I couldn't let her go. At that time I couldn't think of anything else to say, so I said this to calm her down, 'If this ever happens again to you, me doing this again, which it won't, I"ll give you whole like to you."
I know you're probably disgusted by my words, and asking, "Why should you give your life to just a teenage girl?" But when you relisten to the story, I pretty much owe my life to Krissy, cuz I broke her heart more then twice, and I repeatedly did it over and over.
Max's POV
um, is that it? Kyle finished talking, and I do admit that was depressing, guess I was right. BUt still is that the end?
"Oh, sorry Max, I understand. I'll wrap it up." Huh? Oh, Krissy and her face reading skills.
"OKay, well to wrap it up, Kyle has pretty much kept his promise, not usually hurting my feelings, and I'm glad 'cuz after hurting for that long, I don't think I could stand it anymore."
"Okay guys, I think that's enough for now. This secret unlocked is a little too much for us to take in, but I want everyone to keep that story to themselves, Krissy has a lot of nerve to actually say that story to us, and I don't want anyone hurting her feelings ever. Got it?"
"Yup!" "No problem!"
Okay, with that I was happy, but what to do now?
"Max! Dinner's ready, get everyone into the dining room please!"
"Sure mom!"
"Kay guys, wash up, and head to the dining room, we're having dinner!"
"YEAH!!!!"
Quote of the Chapter:
