it then.” He dared and I leaned in but was interrupted. There was an argument at the table between Elle and Leo. I turned to the commotion.
“You are so wrong! Raspberry Vinaigrette is better than Italian.” She argued.
“Nope it’s definitely Italian.” He argued back and I smiled. Aww they are so flirting. However my hopes were crushed as she raised her voice.
“You are wrong!”
“I am not. You are just stubborn.”
“No you are the stubborn one.” They glared at each other as they argued and I sighed. I would have to take her side so that she didn’t get angry at me but I had to end it before it turned into something else.
“Um sorry to butt in but Raspberry is better.” I told Leo and he glared.
“I see how it is.”
“HA!” Elle shouted at him and then went back to talking with her friends and I sighed. They were never going to get along again. They were just too stubborn. I finished my salad and then left with Oskan. We walked to the dorm and he kept silent I wandered why. When we reached my dorm I turned to him.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing I was just thinking about when we leave this place.” He said and I sighed.
“Yeah but it’s not that far away only a few months.” I told him and he smiled.
“I know but I can’t get my mind off of the freedoms we would have.”
“I know but don’t worry I’ll turn 16 in less than half of a year.”
“I know and I promise it will be the best sweet sixteen you could imagine.” He leaned against the doorframe and I couldn’t help grinning. He leaned in and we kissed. I thought that the force might knock me over. It was like a thousand volts of electricity all at once. When he started to pull away I grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer. We kissed again and when it ended I almost frowned. “That was good.” He smiled at me and I rolled my eyes and then frowned. I felt a burning sensation in my hands and looked down to see a burn. “What’s wro..?” He drifted off as he looked down to see my hands burnt.
“It hurts really bad. Like I touched a hot pot.” I stared at my hands seeing blisters forming. I used water to heal it easily but it still disappointed me that he didn’t have control.
“I’m sorry, I thought I could do it that time. Here let me see.” He said pulling my hands toward him. “Well it was fixable by water so that’s a good sign. Good night, see you in the morning at breakfast.” He kissed me on the cheek before leaving. As soon as he was gone I sighed, exasperated. We were never going to get to kiss.
Chapter 8: Little Arguments
The next day I woke up in a great mood. I got dressed heading to breakfast. However on my way out Leo and Elle were fighting outside.
“The turtle is so cute and there is nothing wrong with him!” Elle was insisting.
“Yes there is. He is limping which makes him not cute.” He argued.
“I don’t care what you say he’s perfect!” She yelled at him.
“Fine we’ll just see who’s right now! Aqua’s here.” He yelled back pointing to me. I sighed walking over, I was hoping to stay out of it.
“Fine then, what do you think Aqua? Is he limping or is he cute and normal?” Elle asked and I looked at him. He looked fine to me, just trapped.
“Honestly he looks to be fine.” I said not siding with anyone.
“See he isn’t limping.” Elle smiled smugly.
“Well thanks for the support Aqua, jerk. I’ll just take him to the vet and we’ll see who’s right here.” He picked up the turtle and left. I shook my head.
“Well I’ll be seeing what happens there.” Elle said heading off after him a few moments later. I decided not to follow her and went to breakfast. I sat down and Brooke leaned toward me.
“So you and Oskan? I saw you two kiss yesterday, I decided not to interrupt.” She asked curious to our relationship.
“Yeah we’re together. I just wish the teachers would lay off sometimes. They don’t think that we should be together. They think that Elle should be with him.” I told her and she shook her head.
“Teachers don’t understand anything. Well I have to jet to class. See you there?” She asked and I nodded. I finished my bagel and wondered where Oskan was. I got up and turned to run into him.
“Oh hey, so where have you been?”
“I overslept, I was hoping you would still be eating but I guess not. See you at lunch then I guess.” He explained and I nodded although I was disappointed. He grabbed my chin and pulled my face up gently. “Don’t be so disappointed besides we have a party to go to this Saturday.” He surprised me and I smiled hugely.
“You decided we could go?”
“Yup, we can go wherever you want to.” He said suggestively and I rolled my eyes.
“Sure well I have to go to class.” I hugged him goodbye. In class I practiced making water tornadoes even though I already had it down. I made it rain in the next class and things like that in the next two. Usually I just helped others because I already knew everything the teachers here could teach me. However all I could think in the back of my mind was seeing Oskan. I worried a bit about that. Was I to serious about him? Could he hurt me like Dover? I pushed the questions away; there was no need to doubt him. We had to strong of a connection for doubt. I walked to lunch to see him leaning against the wall waiting for me and I smiled broadly. “Hey, waiting for my arrival?” I asked and he nodded. He was distracted though and I could see it. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled his face down. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I was just thinking about how Leo hates me still, even though he keeps an act up in front of you and Elle.” He said and I frowned letting go.
“What do you mean? What happened?” I asked and realized the over-slept story of the morning was probably fake.
“Oh nothing just that we fight when you two aren’t around. This morning was bad to, he suggested something about you and I got aggravated. Then we fought about whose fault it is that Elle and he broke it off. I mean bloody hell how long can he go on thinking that I caused it?” He vented, getting angry thinking about it and I sighed. He was cute even when he was angry but that was beside the point.
“I’ll try to talk to him but you know how it is with him.”
“I know, silly girl, but it probably won’t do any good.” He ran his hand through his hair in aggravation from the situation.
“Well on the plus side you’re cute when you’re mad.” I said to break the anger I could feel touching my aura. It worked and he laughed.
“Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind and maybe one day I can use it against you.” He said.
“Uh.”
“I’m just joking.”
“You better be.”
“I was now where were we before we got into the Leo mess?” He asked and I grinned.
“Well about here.” I said wrapping my arms around his waist and pulling his face down to look at mine. “Has Elle helped you with controlling you fire?” I asked and he nodded.
“Want to test it?” He asked and I nodded.
“Yes, most definitely.” I said and he leaned down and kissed me. I felt the electricity between us and it was like our souls had connected. It lasted longer than usual but not by much. I felt the burn and jerked away. “OUCH!” I let out and looked down to see my hands burnt but felt the burn on my neck. My lips felt a little chapped. Oskan sighed deeply.
“Well I only got your lips out of your face this time.” He said. I focused on healing it and felt the burn go away.
“Is it totally gone?” I asked and he nodded, settling for holding my hand. We are never going to be able to kiss. My whole live will be kiss less and I will never carry on my line. We walked into the lunch room. When I sat down Elle was there and I sighed. I could feel the waves of disappointment and then I actually felt a bit of sadness for a second, making my eyes water. It was because of the bond I knew because I had been happy, a little frustrated but happy. I wondered why Elle was so depressed, she had been handling the whole thing with Leo well. Then I looked over and saw Leo talking to a girl and I sighed again. He looked to be moving on and that must have been why. The tears faded but Oskan looked down.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, it’s Elle, I got it through the bond.” I told him and he nodded, knowingly.
“Elle, he’s probably not really past you. He probably just wants to make you jealous.” I told her and she nodded. Then she sat up straighter, tough as nails my sister was.
“I know and I will not give in that easily. He can keep on because I’m not fazed by it. Even if it is fake.” She said and I wasn’t sure if she actually believed herself. She sounded like it but her body language didn’t seem so. It might have been because Oskan was right there and I knew she didn’t like crying or looking weak in front of people. She turned to him and seemed to push down whatever emotions for Leo she had been feeling, at least for a while. “Did you practice the spell I taught you?” She asked and he nodded. “Well did it work?” She asked curious.
“No, I still burnt her, bad. I even chapped her lips, but it did last a bit longer than usual.” He grinned, thinking of it but she sighed.
“We’ll try more later I guess. However, I wish that it would have worked. Maybe we can try some herbs next time.” She thought to herself while he nodded.
“So what happened with the turtle?” I asked and she looked up.
“The turtle?” She asked.
“The turtle you and Leo were fighting over this morning.” I elaborated.
“Oh, when I got up to him he told me that it bit him and ran away.” She said and I rolled my eyes.
“It wasn’t even a snapping turtle.”
“I know he’s such an idiot, it probably didn’t run away. It probably just fine but he just didn’t want to lose.”
“Probably.” I agreed, even though I didn’t think so. I think he just wants a reason to talk to you. Either way I have to agree because I have to help you cope with this. I didn’t feel like eating so I just drank some water. When are they going to stop fighting? I hope soon, otherwise no one will be happy again. Besides that I need to focus on figuring out what this dark thing is supposed to be. It being up to four teens with love problems means it will be hard and long. It would be easier if Elle and Leo could fix their relationship somehow. Maybe I just need to give them a little push. As far as my relationship goes I just need to figure out a potion or spell to
