Shakira's POV

I wake up dreading the school day. I put on black skinny jeans and a big hoodie. I also pull on my uggs.

I do a quick makeup job and do a simple braid in my hair.

I walk into the kitchen eat a small breakfast before grabbing my school bag and heading out.

I pick up Jen, like normal, and we head to school.

"So, Shakira," Jen starts as I park into the schools parking lot. "How are you and Luminescent doing?"

"I haven't seen him in a while." I reply getting out, half true, Shakira hasn't seen him in a while, Enchanting Magic has.

"That's about to change." Jen says, pointing up at the sky.

Luminescent and Selcouth are flying down talking intensely to each other.

A bunch of girls are pointing and screaming, forcing me to roll my eyes. They all start making their way over.

"Hello Shakira." Luminescent smiles.

"Hello Luminescent." I smile.

"Have you heard about the new super? Enchanting Magic?" Luminescent asks.

"Hasn't everybody?" Jen interrupts.

I watch a random bunch of cars pull into the school parking lot.

"You like Enchanting Magic?" I ask Jen.

"Love her! She's like, yeah, I'm a girl and my powers don't involve flying, but I can still beat your ass!" Jen exclaims.

I laugh. "That's one way to put it, but, I heard she can fly." I say.

"What?" Jen asks confused. She goes onto some random blog and nods. Then she reads aloud. "Picture of Enchanting Magic shows she's using a black and teal surfboard to get around faster now."

Sure enough, there's a picture of Magic zooming back to my house.

"Wow, now that's what you call a roll model." I whistle.

"Any way, Shakira, we have Magic on our side now." Selcouth says.

Suddenly camera flashes are all around us and the four of us are standing there in surprise. Those random cars must have been the paparazzi! The girls finally made their way through the maze of cars and are screaming at Luminescent and Selcouth to sign something for them.

"How do we get out of this?" I mutter so only Jen, Selcouth and Luminescent can hear.

"Selcouth take Jen." Luminescent says before scooping me up. I scream like always.

We rush towards the roof of the school and I'm put back on my feet.

"Stop. Picking. Me. Up." I say through gritted teeth to Luminescent.

Jen and Selcouth appear beside us within seconds.

Jens face looks hilarious.

I burst into laughter at Jens expression. She's completely awestruck.

"Oh my god. Oh my god. Selcouth Entity just picked me up. Shay I'm going to faint." Jen says. I just keep laughing as Jen sits down to steady herself.

I fall to the ground in my laughter, clutching my stomach.

Finally Jen snaps out of her trance and glares at me.

"Well you're the one scared of heights, we're on the roof of the school, how high up do you think we are?" Jen asks.

I feel her smile and my laughing stops almost immediately.

I slowly get up and look over the edge before throwing myself back. "Oh my god I'm going to die."

Now it's Jens turn to laugh. She ends up on her back laughing her ass off.

"Can we go down now?" I ask in a squeaky voice. I'm not scared of heights as Magic, because when I'm Magic I feel brave... But right now I'm Shakira Beckett, the girl terrified of heights.

"C'mon." Luminescent says softly, taking my hand.

We go to the stairs from the roof and we all go down into the school hallways.

"See you later you two." Selcouth smiles.

"Bye Shakira, Jen." Luminescent nods.

"Bye Selcouth." Jen smiles.

"I'm surprised you haven't gone all crazy fangirl on Selcouth and Luminescent yet." I giggle at Jen. She hits me and I hit her back.

"Bye Luminescent." I say, casting my eyes downward. He steps forward and places a hand under my chin, forcing my to look upwards.

He leans down and kisses me. I kiss right back.

We pull away and I can sense the smirk on Jens face.

"See you tonight Shakira... Maybe your brother will leave his window open again tonight." Luminescent winks.

With that the two supers leave.

"Damn girl, you and Luminescent are the perfect couple." Jen says.

I roll my eyes. Together we walk down the empty hall to our lockers. Where in the world is everyone?

The loud speaker goes on and is painfully loud in the empty hallway.

"To anyone who has just gotten to school, please head to the gym for an announcement and a presentation."

I wince at the noise before glancing at Jen. Together we make our way to the currently open doored gym.

We sit in some of the only open spots in the crowded bleachers, right in the very back on the outside. After a few more minutes the principle steps on stage.

"Good morning everyone." He says into a microphone. "Today we'll be having a huge presentation, a speech from Tony DeLloyd. He'll be telling everyone about what it's like to live without arms, considering he doesn't have any. It'll be a truly inspirational speech. But before we begin here's the announcement. Girls and boys, prom is coming up." A cheer erupts through the crowd. "And because I know the majority of you plan early, I'm putting out there, the theme is masquerade."

That will be quite the interesting theme.

"Now here's Tony!" The crowd applauses and an armless man walks on stage.

He launches into speech about how he became who he was and how he had to find a way to fit in.

By the end of the whole thing, the majority of the girls are crying, even me and a few touchy boys.

We're allowed to go up and say a few words to him but he's not finished yet.

"I would like one person to come down here and help me show something... How 'bout the girl in the very back with long brown hair and a blue shirt." He says. Slowly I stand, wiping my few tears. "Come down here please?"

I walk down nervously.

"I'm assuming you all know who she is?" Tony asks the school.

"Shakira!" The school shouts.

"So, let's get a few other people here... You, you, green shirt, you, glasses, you, girl sitting beside Shakira, you." He says, getting a bunch of people on stage. Jen being one of them and Jackson, Quinn, Troy and Wesley all being some of them. "You say beside Shakira so I'm assuming you're her good friend right?"

"Yes." Jen says.

"Tell me something about her personality." Tony says.

"Well she's this sporty outgoing girl who a lot of people love." Jen says. I smile at her.

"Thanks okay, and now you." Tony says to Wesley.

"Shay is an amazing friend! She's definitely sporty with a loveable attitude." Wesley says.

I can't help but smile at him widely.

He goes to a girl who I don't know and she doesn't know me.

"What do you think of Shakira?" Tony asks.

"I don't exactly know Shakira personally, but from what I see of her in the hall she's an awesome girl. She's really nice to people and she has helped me with some school work before... If she remembers that." The girl says.

I smile at her and nod.

He goes through the others, Jackson, Quinn and Troy all saying super nice things that I fall in love with.

"And that goes to show you how much a person can be loved from being nice." Tony says. "Thanks for being venter of attention up here Shakira." Tony smiles. I move to shake his hand, but... I hug him instead.

Soon after the presentation ends and we all go to our second period class.

And so the day continues as though it was normal.

***

I pull on my headphones as I sit on my bed stalking people on Instagram.

I blast my Flo Rida play list and bob my head along to the music.

Eventually I decide to grab a snack; eventually meaning after the first song ends. I walk downstairs, half dancing, I open the pantry and pull out a few chocolate covered snack bars as I spin in a few circles.

I spot Calvin and dad watching me with weirded out expressions, I just shrug and also grab a bag of pretzels and Lays potato chips. I also take up as many cans on Orange Crush pop as possible.

I go to my room again and continue stalking people as I snack on my yummy junk food.

Finally I decide to blast my music throughout my room... Calvin and dad can deal with it.

I make the ground shake as I blast the music through my speakers.

I dance along stupidly because I can. After a while Calvin comes up with Jen... But he leaves two seconds later while Jen and I start scream singing and dancing.

I don't pay attention as my bedroom door opens and someone walks in.

In fact, Jen and I are doing a freaking awesome dance and it probably looks like we're professional dancers although we are no where close.

As the song ends we get a slow applause from whoever walked in.

I look up to see Luminescent.

"Hey Lummy." I say, jumping onto my bed and shoving a bunch of pretzels in my mouth.

"She's on a sugar rush... And when she's on a sugar rush it's like she's drunk." Jen explains before leaving the room.

"Lummy?" Luminescent asks.

"Yeah." I giggle.

"Any way, I came to ask you about what you truly felt about me... But I don't think it's the best time." Luminescent says.

"I think you're a freaking awesome dude." I start, trying to sober up from my drunk of sugar state.

"Okay...?" Luminescent says.

"I mean, you're so caring and nice. And somehow even with the mask on I can still love you. I don't think I can ever truly hate you and I want to tell you everything and ask you to help my with everything but if I did things would be so awkward because you'd know who I was but I still wouldn't know who you are." I blurt.

I know it won't make complete sense to Luminescent, but it'll make some.

"You love me?" Luminescent asks. I realize then that I did, in fact, say love.

"I love you." I say.

Luminescent stands there for a moment, seemly frozen. What if he doesn't reply? What if he doesn't love me back? What if he's just been playing me all this time?

"Shakira," Luminescent starts, walking over to me. "I think I love you too." He kisses me softly and I kiss him right back.

When we break apart, of course I ruin the mood.

"If I wasn't hyper this wouldn't have happened... Now, how does an Orange Crush sound?" I ask.

I fall back into my bed and toss him one of the many pop cans that I haven't drank yet.

We talk for a while, me explaining what happened today with Tony. Luminescent listens and nods. Then I start ranting off about how I should be allowed to play indoor soccer with the U16 because they don't offer it for my age.

Finally I find myself drinking the last pop.

"I have a feeling you won't be going to sleep early tonight... Wanna go out for a fly with me?" Luminescent asks.

"Actually... I have something to do..." I say, I must make something up to get out of flying with him.

"Oh?" Luminescent asks.

"I have to um... Go... I have to..." But I'm at loss for what I should 'do'.

"Yeah, okay, let's go." Luminescent says.

"No, I have to finish my homework!" I say lamely. I already had finished it though.

Luminescent picks me up and I start to struggle. But he throws me over his shoulder and walks downstairs.

Dad comes out of the kitchen and opens his mouth.

"Don't worry Mr. Beckett, I'll get Shakira home before midnight and I promise I won't let her get hurt." Luminescent says.

"Sounds good Luminescent. But just because you're a super doesn't mean I won't beat you up if you don't treat my girl with respect." Dad says.

"Of course Mr. Beckett." Luminescent says.

"Have fun Shakira." Dad says.

"No! Dad save me! I'm scared of heights!" I scream as I struggle in Luminescents grip.

Dad just smiles and waves goodbye.

I scream as we walk out the door and I'm in the air. I make my scream loud and clear and long.

"SELCOUTH ENTITY! SOMEONE SAVE ME!" I shriek as Luminescent flies higher than ever before.

"I'm hurt, you call for Selcouth instead of me." Luminescent says.

"YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO KILL ME!" I scream.

I'm still on Luminescents shoulder and it's really scary.

Finally we land in front of a dark building in an alley.

"Blossom." Luminescent says to the buff man standing outside the door that has music blasting from it.

The man opens the door and we walk in to a huge club. The music is perfect for dancing and there's a ton of people here.

I feel underdressed... Then again, I do fit in with my crop top and shorts although I have no shoes.

"I grabbed these on the way out of your house." Luminescent says, holding up some heels that miraculously match what I'm wearing.

"Thanks." I say, sliding them on.

I walk straight to the dance floor, pulling Luminescent with me.

"Why'd you take me here?" I yell over the music.

"So you could blow out some steam, you're really hyper." Luminescent says.

I shrug and dance like no ones watching, and probably no one is.

I take a few steps back from Luminescent and break out some moves that every girl has. The song, Turn Around by Flo Rida sets the perfect tone for it too.

I make my way back over to him and dance sort of dirty, but can you blame me? I'm hyper, in a club and with the guy I like. What'd you think was going to happen?

And so the night goes on.
