I take a seat in the back of my history class.
This was the only part of school I did enjoy. This was something I loved, because it was the past.
I knew nothing about the past unless I studied, or asked around. Their was no way for my gift to help me see things that already happened, so everything that happened in Mr Teags history class was a surprise.
Just as he opens his mouth to talk my phone buzzes.
I wasn't used to getting texts, as the only people I had in my phone were my dad, Cas and Leo.
I smile when I see Raiden's name pop up.
I'd forgotten I'd snuck onto his phone and added my contact.
'Hello sunflower.' I smile at the sweet little nickname.
'How'd u know I was wearing yellow?' I look down at the yellow top I had put on earlier.
'You're not the only one who knows stuff.'
'Lucky guess then?' I respond, rolling my eyes.
'Is it okay if I pick you up from your house after school? I have to do something with Ethan and Damon'
I feel disappointment flood my bones.
Their was a sting of pain as I read their names.
I look into their futures and after confirming I wasn't there I move to the present, ignoring the sick feeling in my gut.
Raiden picking me up from school was the only thing I had to look forward to today, so having to walk home with my brothers was kind of a let down.
'Yeah that's best, I have lots of school work.'
I see the bubbles in the corner of the screen pop for a moment.
"Mrs Parkers, want to share it with the class?" My head snaps up.
I see the whole class looking at me.
I shake my head, putting my phone under my leg.
"Okay, don't let me see you with it again." Mr Teags was being easy on me, I knew most kids would have had their phones taken away, or their texts read out if they weren't quick to turn off their phone.
When Mr Teags has his back turned to the whiteboard I pull my phone out.
'Okay, see you then' I read the text a few times before turning my phone off.
I resist the urge to check it, knowing I hadn't gotten a text.
The school day seems to drag by, and when it's over the hours tick by so slowly, it seems like times stopped.
I was used to constantly being bored with life, but when I actually had something to look forward too it was hard to sit at home and focus on biology.
When I finish helping Leo with his science I start on my own work, which had piled up since I'd blown it off so many times this week.
Last night had been amazing, until I had to ride home with my brothers.
I hoped it would create some peace, but it had done the opposite.
Cas was weird about me being around boys, and he even threatened to tell dad that I was out late.
My mind goes back to last night, replaying the most awkward car ride of my life.
"Seriously? A boy?" Leo squeals, laughing his head off.
Leo found this whole thing hilarious, but Cas hadn't cracked a smile since I got into the car.
"You're not allowed to date." He scolds, his jaw flexing.
I couldn't see his face in the darkness, or I'd have tried to read his expression.
He sounded annoyed though.
"Sorry if this inconveniences you." I say, sarcasm dripping from my tone.
"It's fine." He says after a moment.
I frown, no longer feeling a happy buzz.
"I think you should break up with him." The rest of the ride had been silent, but once we reach the house Cas drops that bomb.
I feel immediate anger bubble up, but I'm snapped back to the present when I hear a light tapping.
I frown, looking around my room.
I jump when theirs a series of taps on my window.
I had been so focused on the past I hadn't realized Raiden had been coming toward me.
Visions of possibilities flash before my eyes as I run over to the window.
When I open it someone springs inside and sweeps me up. I grin, laughing as Im spun in a circle.
His smell surrounds me, and I feel my body relax a little.
Raiden chuckles when I squirm in his tight grip, trying to free my arms so I could wrap them around his neck.
Another vision flashes before my eyes and I stiffen.
I stand on my tippy toes and peer over Raiden's shoulder. I spot Damon and Ethan, backs turned to me.
"They were with me when I drove here." Raiden mumbles, his hands moving to my hips.
My stomach hurt, pain taking over as I relive their rejections.
Raiden was the only thing keeping me grounded right now.
Being so close was more painful than I would have expected.
"Can we go to your house?" I ask, pulling back and falling onto my heels.
"It's 1 am sunflower." I feel my eyes widen and I look over at the clock on my wall.
"Right." I mumble, a little disappointed.
Raiden pulls my chin so I was looking into his green eyes.
"But of corse." He complies.
I take it back, this was the most awkward car ride of my life.
It was silent and tense the whole way.
Ethan never even looks at me, and Damon winces when he accidentally looks my way.
It was pure pain.
For me at least, I didn't even have to see them to know they were fine.
It seemed as though Ethan had not a care in the world, and Damon only pitted me.
And I could see why, I was just a human who thought she deserved three gods.
She's so amazing, idk what their deal is.
See you guys in the next chapter <3
