Chapter 11
"I thought we could be good friends, but I guess I was wrong" April mumbles, wrapping a towel on her head. "Now I gotta walk around with a freaking towel!"
"I would say sorry, but that would be a lie" I chuckle. Aprils weakness was so easy to find. It was just a little rain. Who knew it was so easy to make a rain cloud? "let me help, take off the towel."
April unravels the tower and her limp brown hair falls on her back, gently I put my hand over her hair and use it as a blow dryer. 2 minutes later and her hair looks as good as it would ever look.
"Okay Ms hotshot, better sleep with ya eyes open. but thank you" April whispers as she leaves to her next class. I keep walking towards I figured my next classroom.
"You lost?" A guys voice asks behind me, I turn to see the person. And it's no other than West himself.
"No! Um im good." I blush, trying to pull out my schedule out of my back pocket."ugh"
"So your good?" He smiles, making me panic even more and making getting the paper out of my pocket so damn hard.
"Yes, yes I am!" I pull out the paper, I raise it up in triumph.
I turn around and keep walking, West takes some big steps to be next to me, which I notice and instantly blush.
"So what's your power, Carter?"
I turn in surprises, that's an odd way to start a conversation. But what can I expect from a paladin school."power? Oh yeah, duh"
"Water and wind. I only take Ws" I snort at my own joke. I glance at west, a small grin lays on his face. "You?" I ask as I see the my next class
"Eh, doesn't matter. Wanna ditch?" He urges, taking a big step, standing right in front of me.
"Me? With you?" I stutter, West wants to ditch with me? My future boyfriend "even tho he don't know it" wants to ditch with me?! I squirm a little.
"yea, I wasn't going to make you ditch if I wasn't going too" he chuckles a deep chuckle. Not those middle school boy chuckles.
"Sureeee." I agree, west immediately pulls me to a different hallway.
"Were kinda stuck here since it's in the air, but I got a place in mind" he drags me in different directions.
He rushes in front of me, an excited smile plastered on his face. I follow, passing so many identical classrooms.
"Since when have you been going here?" I question him, rushing and turning at random corners
"I only come here two days a week, Then go back to Washington high" he shrugs "I prefer to live a normal life"
Can he be any more perfect?
West finally stops in front of a basic looking door. He quickly opens it and hold it open
"Lady's first" he curtsies
"Why thank you" I walk into an empty room with grates instead of floor. Before I take another step I gently poke a grate before putting all my weight on it to make sure it's sturdy enough. I hear a click as west closes the door behind me.
My body turns to face west walking to the other side of the empty classroom. I would follow, but the ground gave me an uneasy feeling.
"Ever wondered what it felt like to fly?" His innocent smile beams at me, I don't even know if I should tell him that I can.
"Um " I mutter, my hands behind my back. "I kinda already fly"
West face drops, and I immediately regret telling him but he was going to find out sooner or later. He just found out sooner.
"You do?" He walks over to a corner with a lot of buttons, and starts pressing things. His shoulder slumped down.
"I float actually, so this should still be fun." I exclaim, a smile appears in his face as I feel gentle air blowing underneath me.
He comes towards me as the air rushes out faster. My shirt blowing up exposing my belly button by I pull it down and tuck it in while I still can.
"Since you fly already, it's should be easy for you. Just jump and stay balanced." West jumps all of a sudden, floating a few feets up. He reaches for my hands, and pulls me up.
The wind blows me at least two feet from the ground. I move my hands around, something I can never do, balancing one way to steer myself. I put my hands in the stereotypical superhero pose, and to my surprise I'm actually going higher. I turn towards west, grinning ear to ear. How I wish I could fly instead of float. This is heaven.
After a few minutes of west and I just moving in circles, the air gently stops. Letting me and West down. Hair as wild as ever.
"That was so fun!" I scream, fixing my hair. A slight Blush goes through my face, realizing that I just screamed it.
"I was worried when you said you fly" he chuckles, his perfect pearly whites appearing.
I laughed along, "this was way better, I didn't have to force myself" I dust myself off one last time. "Hey west, I have a question"
He walks back to the table full of buttons and glances up "Yea?" He faces me, a concern look crosses his eyes.
"It's nothing bad!" I shake my hands, "I just wanted to know what's your power?"
"Oh I thought you were going to ask me when was the last time I killed someone." He laughs as he opens the door we entered. I walk through, west following right behind.
My eyes go wide, realizing what he just said. I quickly looked at him.
"I'm joking! I haven't killed anyone." I relax my face and was about to laugh when he hip bumps me
"Yet" he whispers
"West!" I exclaim, smiling nervously.
"I'm joking again! But I'm fast." He shrugs, I looked at him in wonder. I spent so much time observing West at normies school, I never noticed anything "fast" about him.
My mind wonders around, if he's speed....I'm wind. Match made in heaven! I giggle to myself. We pass classrooms when a bell rings.
"We should partner up later, wind and speed would work really well." I smile
I walk away before he can reply. That was a really ballsy move I would have never done before. Kids are rushing out and I when I turn, I can't see west anywhere.
***
"Home sweet home" I open my bedroom door, a see a person sitting on my bed.
A scream leaves my lips, but quickly stop when I realized its Static.
"What are you doing here" I gasp, my heartbeat going extremely fast. I put my hand over my chest and walk over to my rolling chair. Almost peed my pants
"I wanted to see you. I forgot about our plans on your first day of school and felt guilty" Static rubs his neck, he's eyes towards the ground.
"It's alright, the bus was fun" I say sarcastically, whoever thinks the bus is fun must be on some hard stuff.
Static shifts uncomfortably "About the bus" he puts his hand on his neck. "You have to take it"
I jump on my bed and stifle a laugh as I land. "For a second there, I thought you said I have to take the bus"
"I'm sorry, Carter" he stands up from my bed and walks towards my room window. "It's better if you don't know who I am."
I sit up from my bed, is he friend breaking up? Is he ending this friendship?
"You're kidding right? Yesterday you were all "let's go together" I mock him, " now you decide you want to stay anonymous?"
"Carter" he signs, " I'll still see you at school and here. Just always with the mask" he starts opening the window. " it's just that right now isn't the best time, okay?"
"Okay" I mutter, clearly annoyed
"You'll still be my little rain cloud with or without the mask" he smirks, putting one foot out the window. "Don't miss me too much"
He winks at me, pulling his other leg out. I grab a pillow and throw it at his direction but the window closes before it reaches him.
"Cockyass"
