before leaving.
“You really shouldn’t encourage things you don’t support.”
“Who said I didn’t? I was serious when I said another time. Anyway you were saying something.”
“Oh, yes. So I thought this would be better in private. Before you say anything about what I say I would like you to keep in mind that I have permission from the teachers and I believe we should. I think we should go out together sometime.” He said and I tried not to frown.
“Listen I appreciate the offer but I really don’t want to be with you. I’m interested in someone else at the moment. Thank you for going through the troubles though, it was really sweet.”
“Okay, I can take that at least you didn’t scream no at me like the last girl that turned me down.” He said and we departed. When I came home I saw Elle with her eyes closed, she opened them as I came in.
“You have a note from someone. I talked to Oskan by the way; we have worked out a schedule.” She smiled at me and I picked up the paper on the table. I smiled at what I saw.
Meet me at your pond tonight at ten. I’ll be there, we need to talk.
Love,
OF
I had a huge jump in my heart speed, I couldn’t wait. I looked at the clock; it was almost eight-thirty. My clothing was nice so I decided to keep it on and I put on some eye shadow and did a spell to put on blush and lip gloss that would last all night. Elle came in.
“Are you going to go?”
“Of course, I kind of have to. He’s expecting me to be there.” I told her and she nodded. “I’m nervous, I wonder what he wants to talk about.” I said and she rolled her eyes making me smile. I headed out prepared for anything.
Chapter 3: A night at my pond
When I got there he was waiting for me, and he smiled when he saw me and bigger when he saw my necklace. He must have had an Earth friend because there were two large rocks perfect for sitting on next to each other.
“Hey, I got your note.” I said stating the obvious.
“Well I thought that night would be easiest for you. I tried to make it as easy as I could, you could be near the water and under the moon. You know at your strongest.” He said and I smiled, he was so considerate.
“Will you be okay though? I mean it must be hard, there isn’t much heat.”
“Yes, I will the moon is just reflecting sunlight and there are stars.”
“So what did you want to talk about?” I asked getting to the point. I had an idea but I denied it. I wasn’t one to set myself up for heart break.
“Well according to Elle, you think that I think of you as a friend after today’s events, correct?” He asked and I looked away, just nodding.
“So you think that I gave you that necklace out of friendship?” He asked and again I just nodded. Then he surprised me. “Please look at me. I’m not sure what you’re feeling and it would help to see your eyes. They are beautiful after all.” I couldn’t resist after that I looked up at him and caught a wave of electricity. “So then what did you think the kiss on the cheek was?”
“I don’t know, you’re from England to. Friends do that in greeting and departure.” I said calmly though it was hard.
“Well, I want you to tell me two things, do you still think of me as a friend and more importantly do you enjoy this?” He asked and I didn’t know what he was saying for a second and then he kissed me gently.
“No, I think that meant more and I did.” I said and he kissed me again more fiercely. Only this time I kissed him back, his hand was on my face. I don’t know how long it was but not very before I felt something. It hurt really badly, it was burning. “OW!” I let out, I realized that he had lost control and burned me.
“I’m so sorry, are you okay?” He asked, concerned. Before I could respond Elle was there.
“What happened? I felt pain coming through the bond.”
“He burned me, on accident of course.”
“Leo, take him away a few inches, he’s really hot.” She said and pulled out some burn salve. “He really got you and right in the face to.” She said as she spread it across my cheek and forehead.
“I hate creams; they make my face look gross.” I said and stuck my hand in the water and healed myself.
“So how was it?” She smiled and I smiled dreamily.
“Amazing, I don’t care that I got burned. It was worth it.” I told her and then she frowned. “What?”
“You lost control.” She told me and I was confused. Then Oskan came up and his teeth were chattering. “You gave him a freezer burn.” I hoped up, feeling so guilty.
“Are you okay now?” He asked me. Aww, he’s so stupid. He’s hurt and concerned about me.
“I’m fine silly. Now give me your hand.” I said pulling his hand to mine; I hadn’t done much just a small one in the fingers. I pulled out the water and cold, concentrating on it until I felt his hand heat up. “I’m sorry; I didn’t know I could do that.”
“It’s fine silly girl. I’m more concerned about you, that much heat is hazardous to you.” He said and I smiled.
“It’s fine, I healed it. I didn’t feel like waiting for the salve to kick in. They make my face look weird.” I wrinkled my nose at the thought.
“I’m sure you would have looked beautiful just the same.” He pulled me into a hug and I didn’t want to ever let go. I love him, so much. Wait, love? Forget it, I love him. I don’t care if he never says it back, I know it’s too soon but I do. “Come on, I’ll walk you to your dorm.” He pulled my hand and led me back home. Elle and Leo had subtly left us alone.
“So I guess I’ll see you tomorrow.” I said, looking up at his eyes; they weren’t very far from mine but I still looked up.
“Yeah I guess so.” He said, and then gave me a quick kiss before leaving. I just stood there a second, loving my life. When I came in I saw Elle just sit down.
“Did you make tea?” I asked and she nodded, snapping her fingers causing two cups filled with my favorite flavor, blackberry, to appear.
“So, what did he say after we left?”
“Not a lot I think he felt too guilty to stay for long. He asked if I was okay. I told him I had fixed it and how I didn’t like salves. I even told him how I thought they made my face look weird.”
“What did he say?”
“That he was sure I would still look beautiful. He called me silly for saying sorry when that much heat could have been hazardous.” I spilled it out, feeling happy just talking about the short conversation.
“I think you’ve found your soul mate. The way I can feel your happiness when you just speak about the smallest things. That’s the way it was for me and Leo. Now look, we’ve been dating a year and are planning our future together. Don’t get discouraged though, I know you probably want to say I love you already, just wait a little. Besides Oskan will ask you to be his girlfriend first, which should be tomorrow.” She told me and I smiled at the thought. I could already see us buying a house together. Usually that didn’t happen for me, especially not since my heart had been broken the last time I really like a boy. It was so uncommon for a water to have their heart closed off to anyone but mine had been until now. I had read about such things but experiencing them was completely different.
“How do you know he’s asking tomorrow?”
“He told me if tonight goes well he would.”
“I can’t wait, I’m so impatient. I feel like all of my feelings are going against the grain.”
“That’s the way it is at first.”
“Well, I’m going to go to sleep; I don’t want to be exhausted tomorrow.” She nodded and I took a shower before going to sleep. Having nice dreams about Oskan and I living our lives together.
Chapter 4: A Saturday to remember
When I woke up, I felt like someone had been there while I was asleep. When I walked out Elle was up and eating a Danish.
“Are we eating breakfast at home today?” I asked and she shook her head no. “No? Then what am I doing?” I asked, confused. She pointed to the table where there was another note.
Aqua-
Meet me before eleven outside this drab castle for breakfast. I didn’t want to wake you, you looked so peaceful.
Love,
Oskan
I was excited; this would be the time I was hoping he would ask me to be his girlfriend. I took the note and ran into my room. I got dressed in a sundress and a pair of heels. I had Elle use her heat to curl my hair before I pinned it up. It was only ten so I headed out. At the little shopping area down the road he was waiting for me.
“Hey, I got your note. So you saw me sleeping?” I was kind of embarrassed.
“Hey and don’t be embarrassed but yes I did. If it bothers you I’ll stop dropping in like that but so you know I think you’re pretty and peaceful when you sleep.”
“Thank you and you don’t have to stop, I think it’s sweet. It just caught me of guard this morning; I felt the energy you left behind and it startled me.”
“Okay well as long as you know. Where do you want to go for breakfast?”
“I know the best healthy food restaurant; they sell muffins that are so good for you but taste delicious.”
“Okay then let’s go, do you drink coffee?”
“Of course, I love it.”
“Good then we’ll have muffins and coffee for breakfast.” He said and then turned and started walking into a store. Where is he? Then I got a message, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Then I saw why, Luna was walking in the direction of me. I could see her over-conditioned hair from anywhere. Everything about her was soft.
“Aqua! What a surprise to see you here. I hope you’re having a nice time.” She greeted me and I nodded.
“Yes I’m shopping for swimsuits today. I hope you have a nice time Luna.” I said and departed.
“I will. See you later.” She said before leaving, a few minutes later Oskan was there. Stupid teachers, can they not trust me to be alone? It’s like I don’t have freedom lately. I hadn’t realized I was brooding so bad until Oskan pointed it out.
“Umm, Aqua? Can you get rid of that?” He asked me.
“What are you talking about?” I asked him a little too snippy and he pointed above my head. When I looked up I saw a cloud that was starting to sprinkle. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to do that.” I apologized and it evaporated immediately.
“It’s fine, what were you thinking about?”
“Just how the teachers can never trust anyone out of school grounds. I mean I’m fifteen and so advanced why can’t they leave me alone?”
“Maybe that’s why they
