Fire

Riley

Riley here. After a long winter break, school is back. But before we started school, Dean thought that maybe our hair makes our fire thing a little too obvious. So, he decided to take us on a trip to the Saloon. Ruby and I both sat on a chair and texted our friends. Then finally, the lady came and started dying my hair from the color red to the color light brown. When we were done, my hair turned to light brown and Ruby's to blonde. We went back home and played soccer outside until it was time to go to bed. The next morning was fine. We ate breakfast then rode our bikes to school. Dean dropped Jessica to her class then went to his class. Me and Ruby walked towards our locker where a bunch of girls were standing. When they all looked at us, each and every one of them gave us a puzzled look. "What happened to the flaming red hair?" One of them said. "We thought maybe changing our hair color would make us a little bit less weirder." Ruby said with a smile forced on her face. The girls were surrounding the 2 people we hate most, the Bensons. "Hello ... Miley and .... I think your name is snoopy." Mocked Kara while Rebecca laughed. I could see that Ruby was ready to attack, but she stayed calm. I let out a little fake giggle. "Funny Kara. How is your mental problem? Did the vet help?" I smiled innocently. Ruby smiled too. Kara, Rebecca, and their crew walked away with furious looks on their faces. I opened my locker and took out my math books. Ruby had English. So, she took out her English books. Then, We both headed towards our classes. I sat at the back of the room and waited for Sam to sit in his seat. Who is Sam? He is this cute boy that sits in the front row of the class. He has bright brown hair with light brown sparkly eyes. He is smart, popular, and cute. All three. Perfect right? When he came into the class and sat in his seat, I stared at him till the end of class. Math? Psh who cares. I never actually cared about math. Dean can just explain the lessons later. After Math I had English. I walked to the class with my friend next to me. "I saw you stare at Sam." she said smirking. I rolled my eyes and walked faster. "Oh! So now you will run away?" She asked. "I'm not running away Stella." I said. Does staring at him makes it obvious that I like him? "I'm gonna be late to class. See ya." I said running to my class. I entered the class and sat down according to the seating plan. I was sitting between both the Bensons. I love English class because our teacher is fun guy. Today, he gave us the whole class a "listen to your songs and choose your favorite" class. I stuffed the headphones into my ear and walk around the class while texting Ruby. She was bored in math class with a substitute. I was too busy looking at my phone until I bumped into a guy. I looked up and saw Sam. I was embarrassed and dropped my phone. Which also caused more embarrassment. I didn't know what to do. So instead of picking up my phone, I stood there, frozen, embarrassed, and scared. An amazing combination of feelings. He picked up my phone and handed it to me. "Thanks." I said quietly. "You're welcome" He replied with a smile. "Riley right?" I gave him a nod for a yes. I didn't want to look like a stalker, so I acted like i don't even know him. Smart move huh? "And you are?" I asked. "Sam." He replied. I gave him a small smile before I got lost in his beautiful brown eyes. I could see his mouth moving, which meant he was talking, but I didn't care. After a few seconds, he snapped his fingers in front of my face. "Am I boring when I talk?" He asked. I took a quick look behind him and saw a painting. "No. It's just that amazing painting behind you caught my attention." I lied. He looked back and nodded. "Ya. I like the painting too." I smiled then walked away. He jogged lightly to me. "Um... The spring dance is coming, and I was thinking maybe me and you can go together." He said nervously. OH MY GOD!!! SAM ASKED ME OUT! Wait, maybe he just wants to go as friends. "One second." I turn around and sent Ruby a text. I stuff my phone on my pocket and turn around to face him. "Why not?" I said with a smile. He smiled back and said "Great." Then walked away. I sat back in my seat and listened to music until the class ended. Well it wasn't exactly just listening to music, a little fangirling was happening in my tiny little brain. I left the class and walked towards my locker. Ruby was talking to Stella. "Hey guys." I said while pushing my books into the locker. "Hi Riley." Stella waved. "I have to go. I'll see you later." She walked away. "How was class?" Asked Ruby. "Fine." I answered.
"Are we going back to the building today?"
"No. They would expect us."
"Okay."
I looked back and saw Angela. "Thanks to you, I'm grounded." She said rolling her eyes. Ruby let a small giggle escape. "It's not funny. I'm not allowed to visit your house anymore." Angela frowned. "Ugh yes now I don't have to see your face." I said jokingly. Angela rolled her eyes and fake laughed. "Ha ha funny. Try becoming a comedian." I nodded with a smile on my face, "I shall consider it."

After school, we went back home and watched some T.V. I helped Jessica finish her homework and texted Sam. We are close friends now. "2 plus 2 is 3 right?" Asked Jessica. I laughed then said "It's 4. You have to practice more math." She finished her homework and took a nap. I read a book and Ruby cooked some spaghetti for us. Ruby is the chief in the family, it's mostly because I'm not really good with kitchen stuff. When she was done, we all sat at the table and ate. Jessica was playing with the water while eating, Dean was typing something on the laptop, and Ruby and I were texting our friends. Dean finished food, sat on the couch in the living room, and watched T.V. I went and sat next to him and then saw what was he staring at. There was a huge Pop up on the T.V that said "BREAKING NEWS: people say they witnessed a boy that can control the wind. Police men are searching all the houses with a machine that can spot magical people. All magical people will be taken to be executed." "Woah." I heard Ruby say. "Are we gonna run away?" Dean shook his head. "You are. I'm staying here. I have to find the boy." He stood up and went to his room. "Find the boy? Why do we need to find the boy? I don't need more kids here!" Ruby said with a huff. "I'm not leaving." I stated. "The spring dance is tomorrow. I will not miss it." I went to my room and used the curler to curl my hair. After a few minutes Dean screamed from his room, "Fine as long as you two behave!" I went back to curling my hair, then I took out a long black silky dress and sat on my bed. Minutes later Ruby entered. "What are you doing?" She asked. "Nothing." I replied.
"Well, help me pick a dress."
"Fine."
I stood up and went through her closet. I found an awesome grey and purple dress. I pulled it out and threw it on her bed. "This one is cute." I told her. She nodded and brushed her hair. Jessica ran in the room and climbed up to my bed. "I WANT ICE CREAM!" She screamed. Ruby looked and me and said "your turn to take care of her." I slipped on my shoes and carried Jessica. "I want it cotton candy flavored and make him add sprinkles." She ordered. "Yes your majesty." I said then kissed her cheek. We both left the house and walked to the ice cream shop. The man was standing outside the shop. "Do you want something?" He asked. "Just one cotton candy ice cream." I replied. He went in and scooped a spoon of cotton candy. He gave it to Jessica in a cup and smiled. "Thank you mister ice cream." She thanked him. I payed for it then walked back home while she ate it. I dropped her gently on the couch and went to my room. Ruby was done with her hair and was trying on her dress. I did the same and tried it on. "We look perfect." She said. "Maybe paparazzi will mistake is for Selena Gomez." I joked. We both laughed and sat on a couch. Suddenly, we heard the front door fall to the floor and some men marched in. Ruby and I went out to see what's happening. Up to 20 men were standing in a straight line. Some were holding guns, and some were holding some kind of machines. They scanned the room then went back to their position. Dean had a frightened look painted on his face. Jessica was holding his hand with half of her ice cream. Ruby pulled up her dress up to her ankle. "Can I ask something? Who are you?" She demanded. The men ignored her and didn't move. Jessica threw her ice cream on one of the men and said "You look creepy." Two of the men approached her and grabbed her from her hands. "Let her go!" Yelled Dean. Jessica bit the guy on her right's arm and kicked the guy on her left. They both dropped her and she ran to Dean. He carried her and kissed her cheek. "Are you ok?" He asked. She nodded for a yes. I walked up to one of the men and smiled. "Can I see your gun?" I asked. He stood still like he was frozen. Ruby came and stood next to me. "Hello." She waved to him. Dean pulled both of us back. There was a moment of silence until finally they started to move and scanned all of us. Dean handed me Jessica. "Run." He whispered. It took me a whole minute to process what he said. When my legs were starting to move, I felt a man grab my arm and another one took Jessica out of my arms. I tried to run away, but he was too strong. Dean made a rock fly towards the man's head. He let go of me and rubbed his head. I walked to the man grabbing Ruby and I set his suit on fire. He let go of her and ran out of the house trying to take his suit off. Jessica created a bubble full of water around the man grabbing her. He held his breath for 30 seconds but then he let go of Jessica and ran out of the bubble. The rest of the men left the house, hopefully running away and not getting back up. Dean smiled. "We did a great job." He said. Jessica laughed. "I want them to come back. I want to torture them again." She said. We all laughed. "Come on. Let's go to bed." Dean said smiling but you can still see the hint of worry on his face. Ruby and I went to our room and changed to our pajamas. We both sat on our beds and chatted for a while until we drifted to sleep.
