Peace

Chapter 8

"Rachel?"

Oh crap… Sam?

"Uh… Hi Sam… I didn't know you were invited?" I greeted him nervously.

"Um, well actually this was the party I told you about… the one I was planning on crashing…"

"Oh uh right…" oh god this is so awkward.

"So why are you here, I thought you said you had to do something?" He asked, I inwardly winced, I could hear the slight resentment and pain in his voice.

"Yeah… so did I. I was supposed to go to work with Warren, but the both of us got roped into coming by Will and Layla… and now I'm here…" I told him with a sheepish shrug of the shoulders.

"Oh… well now that you're here wanna go meet some of the upperclassmen?"

I started mumbling excuses "Uh… I dunno… To be honest I didn't want to come but Warren forced me to come with him because he didn't want to suffer alone… and I'm kinda scared of the upperclassmen…"

But Sam wouldn't take no for an answer. He simply grabbed my hand and dragged me over to a group of three older – not to mention taller – guys.

"Hey, guys this is Rachel." Sam casually introduced me to the group as if he was already best friends with them.

"Uh, hi?" I mumbled looking around nervously.

The guys grinned and greeted me like a good friend.

"Yo, I'm Criss. You're Warrens little sis aren't 'cha?" A tall, lanky guy with fair skin, blond hair and green eyes asked with a grin.

"Uh, yeah… I guess word travels fast…" I responded shyly.

"Hey, hey, no need to be shy" another guy teased. "I'm Terence by the way." He had dark hair, bright hazel eyes, caramel skin tone and a very cute smile.

Just then Lily seemed to pop up out of nowhere beside the third guy. "And this is –"

"– I'm John, Lily here likes to introduce people for them." The Asian boy with a bright blue streak in his jet black hair glared at Lily. Lily simply grinned back deviously.

She then turned to all four guys and pointed a finger accusingly at them. "I hope none of you were going to attempt to seduce Warrens' younger sister." She half teased, half scolded.

"Don't worry Lil, she can take care of herself." came a voice from behind Lily. There was Warren, standing behind Lily towering over her. She tilted her head backwards to look at him. "Oh, I know. It's still fun to tease these four party crashers though." She grinned as she moved her head back to look at the boys in front of her.

"What, Sam, all four of you are party crashers?" I asked incredulously.

"Yup, and guess what they're actually freshmen like us."

"Really when did you guys meet?" I asked, as I looked at the three other buys they did seem kind of familiar.

"After school, they're the ones who told me about this party. John is Lily's cousin."

"So technically I'm not really crashing the party I'm visiting my cousin." John grinned.

Lily gave him a look and rolled her eyes. "Yeah, sure. You only ever visit when there's something in it for you." She said sticking out her tongue.

"Well I'm gonna go check on snack supplies." Lily announced.

"I'll come with you." Warren said quickly. I raised an eyebrow at him, a small smirk playing on my face. Looks like he's finally found a girl. Warren just gave me a look that screamed shut up! I lifted my hands in surrender.

"Well you two have fun!" I teased as the two of them disappeared into the crowd and into the kitchen.

I turned to look back at the guys in front of me. For the life of me, I couldn't remember what their powers were. Well I hope this doesn't get too awkward…

"So, what are your powers?" I asked the guys.

"Well you know mine" said Sam.

"I can run faster than the speed of sound" Criss boasted.

"Dude, you are totally exaggerating." Terence said, rolling his eyes. "I can create and manipulate metals by the way."

"Yeah, and I probably have the coolest, strongest power of us all. I can manipulate the weather!" John bragged.

"The weather huh?" I smirked. Let's hope he doesn't go up against me in Save the Citizen rain won't work on me, but it will give me even more power and more water to use as a weapon.

As the night wore on the five of us continued to talk. I also met a few other freshmen that had crashed the party. Surprisingly there were more freshmen here then I originally thought.

All too soon – or so it seemed – Warren tapped me on the shoulder and told me it was time to go. As I looked around I realized he was right; many people had already left. And so, I left my new friends with a wave as Warren and I walked out the door and into the night.

The walk home was quiet; we were both very tiered. I decided I would bug Warren about Lily tomorrow. When we got home we both went straight to our rooms and fell asleep.
