Now things are about to turn complicated between Magical Starsign characters… Chapter 3 is up. Pico's POV. Tell me whose point of view you prefer if you have a favorite.
"Sorbet?" Lassi asked.
Lassi looked incredibly awkward. But who wouldn't be? Sorbet and I were blushing ferociously. Neither one of us said anything. I just stood there like a fool and stared at the floor. How could they find out this way? And why did it have to be Lassi? Lassi means well but she's a bit of a blabbermouth…
Sorbet walked forward.
"I didn't want you to find out this way…" Sorbet put her hand on Lassi shoulder. Lassi looked up at her because she was a few inches shorter. Lassi's eyes looked sad almost like they were filled with, pity; that was the word.
"I didn't want you to find out at all!" I shouted kicking Sorbet's bedpost, and stubbing my toe. Lassi looked over at me and rolled her eyes. Sorbet looked over and gave me a your-not-helping look and then said,
"Pico, calm down." I saw it in Sorbet's eyes; they were promising me that they could make it better. I sat down on her bed and placed my head in my palms. What are the others gonna think? They'll hate me! First they'll hate me for not telling them about it and then they'll hate me for makin out with a much younger girl. Sorbet didn't seem to care about my age… Sorbet was too nice for her own damn good! Yes I wanted her, a lot. But no, I didn't want to be seen as a player who dates under aged girls
"Lassi, you have to promise me that you won't say anything about this!" Sorbet said. Lassi's moth was slightly open and her rabbit teeth were hanging out. Lassi didn't say anything for the next couple minutes so I added,
"Please," I was begging and that was something I didn't like to do.
Lassi slowly nodded her head, "I promise," She sighed.
"Lassi our friendship rests on this," Sorbet warned as though she were a scorpion ready to strike.
"Don't worry guys I won't tell anyone," Lassi started to babble again, "I just want to know why you didn't tell me?" Lassi's eyes went to the floor, she was obviously offended.
"Well, uh, no offense but you are part of the everybody we didn't want to know about this," I said.
"Yes, Pico's right, this was supposed to be a secret," Sorbet laughed probably trying to lighten up the moment but it didn't work.
"Well I came in to ask if I could borrow Sorbet's hair curler before class starts but then I saw you two were busy…" Lassi started to head to the door.
"Lassi, its ok you can use my curler," Sorbet smiled trying to make a peace offer.
"Nah, I'm all set," Lassi grinned feebly and then looked at the door, "I'll just be going, now."
And with that Lassi left Sorbet and I alone again. Sorbet looked at me and her lips were curled down into a frown and she looked as if she could cry.
"Sorry…" She muttered. I walked up to her and just gave her a hug, a simple one; I didn't plan on doing anything more.
"It's not your fault," I whispered into her ear reassuring her, "Lassi found out on accident. She's our friend right? So we can trust her."
Sorbet nodded. She placed her head in the crook of my shoulder and I could feel her hot breath on my neck. I felt her blue gloves find one of my hands and she gave it a squeeze. Her fingers laced through mine and for a second I felt like she was mine. Like we were really boyfriend and girlfriend…
After Sorbet and I had pulled ourselves together; ugg, I hate saying that. Anyways we pulled ourselves together and then I said,
"I think class starts in a few minutes," I looked her right in the eyes, "We should go."
I held her hand one final time and right before we left Sorbet's dorm she gave me a kiss on the cheek. I felt my cheeks rise with goosebumps where her lips touched. We left the dorms at separate times so no one would suspect anything.
Of course I had to go all gentleman and let Sorbet go first so that made me be late to class.
Once we got to class it was the same usual garbage the Professor Pistachio teaches. There it was brought to my attention by Mokka that Miss Madeleine had been gone for three months now. Mokka was a robot who the Principal. Mokka was actually pretty cool considering the situation he came from.
Three months? Had it really already been three whole months? What if something had happened to her? And what about Sorbet? Sorbet cared a lot about Miss Madeleine; I wonder how she's taking this… God, I just hope she doesn't go into a sobbing fest later…
After class we all hung out in the meditation room because the dorm room was fairly crowded. We all were chilling and relaxing and I was sitting close to Sorbet. Sorbet looked around the room and then suddenly stood up.
"Hey, where's Lassi?" She said. I stood up next to her and along with everyone else my eyes scanned the room.
"She was here when we walked in," Todd said. Todd was a light mage who everyone knew Lassi had a thing for. He was really quiet most of the time but you wouldn't want to be hit with one of his light spells.
"I'll go check if she's still in the classroom," Chai said getting up. Chai was an odd salamander whose parents neglected him; we usually defended him from bullies. Chai left the room and we carried on with light chitter-chatter until Chai came back looking very worried.
"Lassi wasn't there or in the cafeteria, or in the library or in the dorm,' Chai breathed heavily and that said he was running.
"I say we all look for her," I stood up and started to head out of the room. The rest of my friends followed. Naturally Sorbet and I teamed up together.
We searched downstairs in the dorm and office while Chai checked the downstairs classrooms, Todd checked the upstairs classrooms with Mokka.
It wasn't long before Todd came up to us and said that Mokka had found something that could lead to Lassi upstairs. We followed Todd to the janitors closet; I know, as weird as it sounds that's where we went.
Mokka was talking about how he could sense Lassi's aura or whatever from the next room over and all that was there was an old looking wall. All of us were there together at that moment and we all kicked the wall simultaneously. Soon enough the wall collapsed and we saw Lassi on the other side.
Lassi yelped at the sight of us. Behind her were six rockets in perfect condition for flying.
"Lassi what are you doing?" Todd asked.
"We need to save Miss Madeleine!" Lassi shouted. Before any of us could argue Lassi ran inside the nearest rocket and instantly it began a countdown and when it reached zero I grabbed Sorbet by the waist and brought her to the ground. We both covered our ears and buried our faces in each other's arms.
When the launch was over Sorbet and I stayed down and listened as our other foolish classmates climbed in the rest of the rockets and blasted off. They all did and left Sorbet and I in a pile of dust. We stood up together.
We looked at the two remaining rockets. They were one-seater and we couldn't possibly fit both of us in one.
"We have to go after them!" Sorbet said.
"But what if we end up on other sides of the galaxy?" I asked touching her cheek. A tear slipped loose from her lashes.
"We'll find each other, I know we will," Sorbet whispered.
She leaned forward and kissed me hard on the mouth. It was the most passionate of our kisses.
Sorbet placed her hand against my cheek.
"I love you Sorbet," I whispered as my fingers intertwined with hers. Sorbet looked down at the ground.
I planted on last quick kiss on her cheek before I started walking away to one of the remaining two rockets but something stopped me. Sorbet clung onto my hand, not allowing me to walk forward. I turned around to face her.
"I love you too, Pico," And with that she left. She didn't even give me a second glance. She headed straight to her rocket and began to launch.
I opened up the door to my rocket and went inside. Sorbet launched off before me. Shooting for the stars.
I launched off shortly after her and trailed behind.
Sorbet loves me…
All of a sudden things started looking up for me. And it looked like I had a new girlfriend.
Review and tell me whose POV you like better, Pico or Sorbet?
