Trust is a dangerous path.

Chapter 25 : Burned

It's wednesday today and i'm already on my way to school. I think it's going to be my new routine to get this early to school.

I am eating my sandwich that i took at home to eat on the way. I arrive at the schooldoors and a group of people is right in front of it. I push myself through some people to get a look. And again it's just some stupid fight between angels and demons. I pass them while they are throwing insults at each other. I make my way to the library like always.

About thirty minutes later Lira, Noah and Miles walk in. I don't tell them about Lucy because i don't want to talk about it and she's not worth it. I guess they get the hint that i don't want to talk about her because they don't ask anything about it either.

We walk to class and as soon as we take our seats the teacher begins.

"Okay class, Today we are going to focus on our main ability which is water for angels and fire for demons. Controlling you main power is the importants thing to do but it's also the hardest thing to control completely." She looks at us to see if we are listening and she continues. "What i want you to do is to work in you group again. This time an angel and a demon are going to work those powers on each ohter. It's simply said but definitely a challenge. Basically the demon makes a flame and lights the candle. The angel uses their power to exthinguish the candle. Does everyone know what to do?" Everyone nods and she smiles happily.

Lira and i turn around sitting in our group. I am a little nervous to be doing this. I have used my water ability a couple times but never like this. It were smaller things.

The teacher comes by every desk giving us candles. She hands me one and i put it between Miles and i. "Ready for this?" He smirks and i nod. The nerves from before dissapear a bit when i look at Miles.

I watch him while he makes a small flame from his palm but it dissapears again. Only a second later a bigger flame appears on his palm and he runs his hand smootly over the candle. The candle is lit and the flame in his palm dissapears. He looks at me now and the nerves start coming up again. He gives me a coonforting smile that i easily return.

All of a sudden i hear a splash of water on the floor behind me. I turn and Lira does the same. Linda the angel Marcus had to work with just used a lot of water. Marcus just laughs at her and his friends laugh too. I look at the floor and she did use enough water too fill a whole bucket.

I turned back around and Miles was already looking at me. "Well, please don't do that." He leaned backwards in his chair looking at what i was about to do. I take a deep breath and start.

I let the feeling of water come in my mind and go through my veins to my hands. I hold my left hand out and a drop of water appears right above my palm. I concentrate on it and let more drops appear until i have a big bubble as big as my hand palm. It floats above my hand palm and slowly i try to move the bubble. It doesn't.

I concentrate harder thinking of it going to the right a bit. And this time it does. I let it go to the right next, and it does. I move my hand towards the candle and make the bubble go right under the flame. I let it go close enough and the flame dissapears leaving smoke coming from the candle. I let the bubble go back above my palm and without thinking much it goes back in my palm dissapearing too.

I look up to a smirking Miles. "We are the best." He said laughing and I giggled.

Next to me i heard laughing too and when i turned i saw Noah and Lira whispering in each others ears. I looked at Miles and he just shrugs. I let my eyes go over th features of his face. When i hear Noah yell my attention turns back to him.

"I burned my hand!"Noah yells jumping up running in between desks.

"Quick, put it on something cold!" Lira yelled back and without thinking Noah runs to Marcus placing his hand on Marcus' chest. Right on his heart. "Ah, so much better." He says.

The class starts laughing uncontrollably loud. I obviously started laughing too and Lira couldn't breath from laughing so hard. Marcus scuffed hitting Noah's hand away from him. "You can't even get burned!" He shouted over the laughs of everyone. Noah laughed at his own joke and came back to his seat.

"That was a good one." Miles said to Noah high fiving him. "I know."

The rest of class went quickly. We had to do the assignment a couple more times and after we went on with other stuff.

I came home and luckily Lucy was nowhere to be found, but my father wasn't either.

I kept thinking about the kiss. A hundred times i have told myself already it was just a mistake. We were drunk and distracted, maybe even in pain because of my mom and his dad. But i couldn't shake the feeling of off me. I needed to talk to him about it but just like today i felt way to scared to even think about it.

I made my own food and fell asleep early.
