Alex smiled as he waved good bye to his friends as he was pulled away by Crissy.

She started talking to her friends, eveyone of them as popular as the next, until one of them asked her what Alexes name was. Crissy mumered on and on. Alex was about to cut in and introduce himself when she said

"This hottie is Alex."

Now Alex was plenty happy to hear her call him a hottie but how on earth did she know his name.

He sat down on the chair next to her and leaned over to whisper into her ear

"Care to fill me in on how on earth u knew my name. Cause I'd like to know."

Kate had just sat down at a table near the edge of the room when Mike came over to her.

"Mind if I sit here?"

"Yes." Kate pretended to study the decorations. The silhouettes the decorating committee had made to look like the shadowy outlines of men playing saxophones and trumpets looked pretty realistic, she thought.

Mike sat down anyway, and Kate didn't bother to hide her irritation. "You look....nice," he said, and Kate sniffed, then muttered something in French. To her surprise, Mike laughed.

"Really? Me too! I didn't think you liked those things--unless you're kidding."

"What the...You...you don't speak French!" she sputtered.

"I understand it," he said, leaning across the table and smiling mysteriously. Kate thought it made him look ridiculous, and she said so--still in French, of course.

"Ooohhh....ouch. Guess I'll have to work on that, then."

"Okay, Mike, what are you trying to pull?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. Pretending to speak French--"

"But I do!"

"--when we both know you've never set foot in a French class in your life."

"I may not be able to speak it, but I know what you say when you speak French," Mike said quietly.

"But...how--"

"The same way I knew Ms. Gonzalez was cussin' her head off this morning, I guess."

Sarah continued to look for her friends, when she noticed Chase walking through the doors. He looked as if he really din't want to be ther. But then why was he? Sarah considered approaching him. She wasn't one who was known to be shy, but she also wasn't one who was known to be flirty. She only thought for a moment before walking up to him. She fglipped her red and Black hair and said

"So, whats up water boy."

 

[Ellesar]

Chase saw Sarah approaching and rolled his eyes slightly. "Don't call me that." he told her bluntly. "And nothing's up. I just got here."

 

[rockerchic]

"Well, if u wanna get technical, u r a waterboy. and right now u seem cranky, Whats stuk up your but?"

 

[Ellesar]

"I'm not cranky." Chase said, looking calmly at Sarah. "And since I just got here, I'm not really doing anything yet. Anyway, I would prefer to be called by my name, Chase, and not a nickname."

Chrissy stopped breathing for a moment. How was she going to explain this??

"Um..." she decided to rack his brain for an answer he might accept. She stared into his eyes.

Ahhh... so he was a prankster, eh?? Well, he must have been called to the office a few times. Let me check... yup!! He most definetly was!!

"I heard them call you to the office a few weeks ago."

She looked around at her empty table; everyone else was dancing with their guys.

"So... you wanna dance??"

She grabbed him out just as the cha cha slide was starting. They danced to the entire song, then a slow song came on. She looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to make the first move. After all, she had an image to uphold. That meant at least three slow dances center stage.

Jade leaned against a wall, ignoring the stares of random guys. Is Jason here? She sighed, watching the "happy" couples dance. Pfffffft. Someone kill me. That could be entertaining.

 

[rockerchic]

"Fine. I suppose I'll see you around, Chase"

With that Sarah turned around and started to leave.

 

[Guitargirl921]

"Umm, I heard them call you to the office a few weeks ago."

"Yea Right, I'm no fool. Tell how me later."

Then she pulled him onto the dance floor.
Soon a slow song came on.

"Wanna Slow dance. I havent done too much slow dancing in my days, so your gonna have to lead the way"

They started to dance.

"So, nice weather. Its perfect. It couldn't be antmore perfect if someone planned it or altered it just for tonight. "

 

[Everloving]

Chrissy giggled.

"Yeah... odd, isn't it??"

She thought about it.

"Come to think of it, the weather has worked to an advantage for the past few days."

She remembered the freak storm that had allowed them to leave school early. That brought back the memory of the rest of that day. She wanted to forget it, but she couldn't. A side effect of her abilities, she supposed.

"Got any idea how that's been working out??"

 

[Guitargirl921]

"Actually, yes I do. I wanna show you something. Follow me."

He held her hand and started to lead her outside to the bleachers by the football field.

 

[Everloving]

Chrissy wasn't quite sure where Alex was taking her, but it sure looked good having a hot guy lead her away from the crowd. Maybe she wouldn't ditch this guy after the dance. Maybe she'd hold onto to this one for a few days. Perhaps she could convince him to go out for football team...

"Liquid!" Rachel yelled, making gagging noises and pointing to her throat. Her friends laughed and waved goodbye to her while Rachel laughed and pushed her way through the gym doors out to the lunch room where there was a big punch bowl, along with the concession stand open for students to buy snacks.

After drinking one glass of punch and pouring herself another, Rachel sat down at an empty table, feeling sweaty and out of breath. She liked the feeling though, like being at a loud concert where everyone danced like no one was watching. For a moment, Rachel wasn't sure if she wanted to be done with high school or not. Part of her couldn't wait for that diploma to be placed in her hand, but another part of her already missed not being part of the everyday-ness with her friends and the random events of the school day. Although she loved going post-secondary and being able to start college a bit early, she still wondered about her decision sometimes.

Jenny tried to melt into the floor as Grace held her arm and drug her around the high school, pointing out things that only Grace would notice. That part made Jenny smile a little.

She saw the punk girl, Rhonda or Rochelle maybe, sitting by the punch bowl. Jenny dug her heels into the floor, causing Grace to stop and turn.

"Drinks, perhaps?" Jenny asked, pretending to hold a glass and drink out of it. Now it was her turn to drag Grace over to the punch bowl and pour them both a cup.

"Do you honestly enjoy making it look like we're a couple?" Jenny asked in a hushed tone before taking a sip of her punch.

"What?" Grace replied innocently, "Hey, if people want to draw they're own ignorant conclusions, let them. We're friends and if I can't hang onto my friend then we live in a pretty dispicable world. So there." She flipped her hair and took a dramatic sip of her punch, as if accentuating her point.

Jenny just laughed, covering her mouth a little with her cup.

 

[Guitargirl921]

Alex and Crissy reached the bleachers behin the school.

"O.K., I've only showed this to two people, but I'm not so good at keeping secrets. so... here it is. I can do something that no one else can do. I can make the weather do whatever I want. I canmake it rain or thunder. I'm the one who made the lights go out. And I'm the one who's made the weather so enjoyable. Soo... believe me?"

(Waits for response)

Kate tossed out a few more phrases in French, and Mike translated them flawlessly. To catch him off guard, she threw a few German words and phrases into a short speech in French. Mike translated them as well.

"Wow," Kate said, genuinely impressed.

"Yeah," Mike said, then shrugged. "Helps me pass Spanish, anyway."

"So that's how you get an A in that class!"

Mike looked surprised. "How'd you know I was getting an A? You take French."

"Uh...I...saw it...somewhere."

"Where? You didn't even talk to me 'til this morning." Kate was still trying to form a convincing excuse when Mike said "Wait....you said this morning...that you could, like, see the future and stuff."

"Not really," Kate said quickly. "I mean, I have dreams and stuff--"

"That come true. Right?"

"I...suppose so..."

"You saw something...something that had to do with my A." Kate didn't answer, but looked guiltily at the photo booth. "Am I right?"

Kate nodded wearily.

"What did you see?" No answer. "Please?"

Still no answer.

"Pretty please? Come on, Kate! If you tell a guy you know his future, the least you can do is tell him what you saw!"

"Look, all I saw is that you got an A. I don't remember what happened after that. Honestly, it was a dream!"

Mike held up his hands. "Hey, don't get mad. I was just asking."

 

[Everloving]

Chrissy looked into his eyes and watched the activities of the past few weeks. He believed it to be true, but it could all be clever coinsidences.

"Well, I'm not saying I don't, 'cuz I've heard stranger..." she thought back to her own experiences. "But, honestly, I'm tired of gossip and lies... unless they're really juicy. But, Alex, how can I believe that?? Honestly, how do you know that all those things weren't a coinsidence???"

 

[Guitargirl921]

"I had a feeling you'd say that. If u dont believe me, I'll prove it. ................ Lets see. I dont wat to make it rain cause were outside so I'll just make the wind blow."

"To be honest with U I dont exactly have complete control so be ready for anything."

Within seconds a slight breeze blew past Alex and Crissy, blowing their hair all over the place.

"Seee, i told u. Now do u believe me? Wind is my favorite. I just have to focus on it, like I'm sending a signal or something, and it works, just like that."

 

[rockerchic]

((We should come up with some reason for all of them to show off their skills, if thats the way you want it to go. Maybe thay could all be in some kind of danger or something.))

((I'll talk to u kitty))

SArah walked away from Chase, looking for someone she knew, whom she could talk to. She had to look for a while, cause the place was packed with populars. Finally she noticed Jade. She wasn't really Jade's friend, but Jade hung out with Jason alot, and Jason was Sarah's friend.

I suppose I could talk with Jadde. Maybe she knows where Jason is. Though, She's one of those weird goths. Ahh, i'v seen freakier.

So Sarah decider to approach Jade.

"So whats up JAde? Remember me? I'm Jason's friend, have u seen him around?"

((maybe you should PM Jenka.))
