The window shines a thin line of light on my face. Then I feel soft kisses on the back of my neck. I groan and crane my head to stare at Vic. He wraps his arms tighter around me. "Mmm, good morning baby," I say, my voice sounding lower, thick from sleep. 

"I love your sexy, morning voice," he mumbles. He turns me around and stares at me. I feel his leg tangle between mine. He nuzzles his nose against mine. I feel a tingling feeling in my fingertips and I pull away. I sit up and stare at my fingers. 

"Shit, is it the full moon?" I gulp. Vic furrows his eyebrows and checks the moon calendar that both of us have. He curses and nods. 

"I swear, it's like we're girls with periods!" He groans. I laugh and put on the special outfit we have to wear in order to stop the electricity from killing everyone. I slip on the gloves and wrap my arms around his waist, pressing his back to my chest.  I feel a bolt go through me. "I'm sorry," he says. I just smile and bury my face in his neck. The bolt goes through me making my power grow. 

"Need the orb?" He asks. I nod. We have this giant glass orb, and every full moon, or any days our powers just grow, we put it in the orb. Then, during a storm, we clear the orb. No one ever suspects a thing. I take off one glove and press my fingers to the cold, glass orb. It starts collecting the bolts. It actually looks really cool. Vic does the same and we hide it. 

"Let's get to school, I guess," he says, taking a step closer. He pecks my lips and leads me downstairs.

"Hey, since it's Friday, how about we all go to the park tonight? There's a movie going on there," Jenna suggests. Vic and I make eye contact. I shrug. 

"We can," Ryan says, while Brendon and Dallon are violently recreating Vines. 

"LET'S DO A FORK IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL!" Brendon and Dallon scream simultaneously. Awsten joins in when they start jumping around, flailing their arms. 

We just stare at them, appalled at their absolute craziness. Then Awsten falls over from dizziness. "Anyway, I can go too," Sarah says. Soon later, everyone agrees and Jenna shouts. She stares wide-eyed at a giant spider. Tyler yelps. 

"I GOT A PINECONE FOR YOU, YA LIL' BITCH!" Brendon screams, violently throwing pinecones at the spider. Dallon just rolls his eyes and starts throwing stones. (A/N I thought about the Panic! At The Disco Madlibs thing, and now the words 'Dallon stoning a spider' is in my head and I'm wheezing).

I lean down at press my lips to Vic's forehead before walking to class.

Vic and I walk to the park together. We spot most of the group already there, taking up two benches. We sit together and he puts his arm around me. "Where's Sarah?" I ask. Seeing that she's the only one that isn't here. 

"She started panicking and ran off somewhere, and I mean ran. Like the fucking Flash," Jenna says, before eating some popcorn. I look at Vic, narrowing my eyes. He has a similar face. We both get up and excuse ourselves. 

"Do you think she's one of us? If she is, why doesn't she have the gear?" He asks as we run. I hear sparks and turn. I see someone curled up behind a bunch of trees. Sparks flying everywhere. "I think that's a fire hazard," he mumbles before racing over. "Oh, shit- Sarah?" 

"No! Don't look at me," she turns away. 

"We aren't here to hurt you, don't worry," I take a step forward. I pull off my gloves. "These will help you, do you trust me?" I ask, staring directly at her. She nods slowly and lets me slide the gloves on her hands. The sparks stop and she takes a deep breath. 

"Thank you," she sniffs. "Wait- how do you know about this?"

I look over at Vic. "This is going to be interesting..."
