Chapter Eight: Back to 'Same Old, Same Old…'
On Sunday morning, the teens were discharged from the hospital. They were warned to have a lot of rest and not to do anything too strenuous for their bodies. The doctors say they were all to make a full recovery within a matter of days.
They were well enough to go to school the following day, expecting to continue their daily lives. However, little did they know that their lives now would be far from normal…
O~O~O
The group is seen hanging out in front of the school, beneath the awning waiting for school to start. All of them were present, including Rex. He was wearing the typical school uniform beneath a navy blue trench. They were all recalling the events that had taken place, especially what had occurred afterwards with their parents.
"Oh man my Ma has been going on and off, saying one moment how much we mean to her and then yelling at us the next," Billy said exasperated. He had new bandages wrapped around his head. He sometimes had fits of dizziness and forgetfulness but the doctors said it was only temporary.
"Yeah, he's not kidding," Lilly agreed. Their mother was seriously traumatized from their encounter, despite the fact they had made it out alive with only minimal damage.
"My dad's been lecturing me, saying that I was irresponsible for dragging you guys into it and ya-di-ya-di-ya," Valen trails off. He was starting to get sick of his dad's lectures.
"I know right! Ohmygosh! My mom has been the same way. I wanted to bite her head off," Ophelia concurred. Despite the incident, she and her mother haven't been seeing eye-to-eye, causing a lot of arguments between them lately. She didn't need this to be added unto their list of disputes.
"My parents have just been plain out pissed when we first got home. They had chewed me out, but after they had gotten it out of their system, things had back to somewhat normal," Rex explained.
"You're lucky Rexie," Evangelia began. "My parents are talking to me civilly but I can still sense a bit of coldness in them."
"Ouch, the princess is receiving the third degree and cold shoulder from her parents," Billy teased. Evangelia ignored his comment and turned to Maddox. "How about you, Maddie? How are your parents treating you?"
Before he could answer, Ophelia had cut him off.
"Easy, I can tell you that one. His mother has been overprotective and babying him, even more than usual now that he's hurt," she remarked and was referring to his sprained wrist. Maddox had his wrist wrapped in gauze and had a little splint to keep it aligned. He had sprained it really bad.
Everyone wasn't really surprised by that answer and Maddox wasn't even protesting. She had hit bulls eye. He was notorious in the group for being a 'Momma's boy'.
'Huh, that's funny…the one who thinks she got me pinned is a notorious 'Daddy's girl,' Maddox thought. He silently chuckled and kept that thought to himself.
"But you know what's the worst?" Billy rhetorically questioned them. "Is that we can't really do much after school for a while." The group had all agreed on that statement. They were all pretty active in and out of school.
Valen was part of the school student government and was aspiring to be the student body president. He was always active in student body dances, plans, and activities. He was also junior editor-and-chief of the school newspaper. He had taken an interest in the journalism career, like both his parents.
Rex used to play for the school football team. He was a linebacker because of his large size and was also an alternate quarterback. He had quit a year ago due to the fact that he couldn't play with his wings. He explained to the coach that he had a current medical condition with his back and the coach had begged him to stay. He had continuously declined but the coach said that there was always a spot for him on the team and that he was always welcome to rejoin. Recently, though, he had taken up photography as a past time.
Ophelia was part of the Trinity Union High cheer squad-in other words, she was a cheerleader. However, she wasn't shallow or mean like some of the other girls. She was kind and did well in school. Outside of school she takes dance classes and does some gymnastics. She was also the student government's treasurer.
Evangelia was in the student body government as well. Her mother had urged her to join, saying that it would do her good to learn to settle things diplomatically. At first, she thought that student government was just a place of talk but after joining she realized that the whole point of it was to put talk into action. She was the driving force that made sure that things got done. She wanted the best of words and action.
After school, she would take piano lessons at home from a teacher. Other than her friends and family, not many people knew that she also took martial arts classes and was a 2nd degree black belt in at least 3 different types of fighting. She was a very gifted fighter and was training since she was three. Her parents thought that she should learn to defend herself since she was the daughter of a billionaire.
Billy and Lilly were both pretty athletic.
Wally had pushed them both to join the track team for some reason. He had especially pressured Billy to join. Lilly just joined to keep in shape. Billy was on the Men's track team and Lilly was on the Women's track team. They also play soccer and are on the same team. Billy was on offense and Lilly was goalie. However, other than sports they had done their own things.
Billy was in the school drama club for fun. It was a good outlet for him, especially since he was charismatic and liked being in the spotlight.
Lilly chose to be on the school newspaper, writing the anonymous advice column. She was also the school news anchor and was seen every morning making the announcements in each homeroom's television. She took an interest in news casting because her mother was a live news caster on television.
Maddox was pretty laid back but he was a part of the school art/mural club. He had a very keen eye for observation and detail. His artwork was seen all over the school. He also participated in the school debate team because he had a knack for questioning and arguing things.
Every one of them was bummed out that they couldn't participate in the physical activities for at least a week.
The school bell rung and they begun their day, expecting going back to same old, same old mundane routine of classes.
Little did they know they were being watched…
O~O~O
"The targets are sighted," says a mysterious figure in the shadows into his comm. link.
"Excellent," a deep voice responds. "Follow and observe them in close proximity. I want you to track them and see if anything…unusual, occurs. Report to me by the end of the week, understood?"
"Crystal," the mysterious figure purrs and he steps out of the shadows. He' seen wearing the Trinity Union uniform and is making his way towards the high school.
O~O~O
Dun dun dun…the teens are going to have an enemy in their midst. This is definitely going to shake up their high school.
