Power of the 8 Elements

Chapter Twenty Eight

"So...it's raining," Cel said, "We haven't heard much from the Evil Angel. And we just took on some demigods."

"So?" Lucifer said.

"So we should all play a wonderful game of skeletons in the closet and socialize."

"This is coming from Celeste?" Lucifer said.

She scoffed, "You know, I could punch you."

"I'd like to see you try."

"Alright, then," Amaya said, "I'll get the popcorn, and then we can start."

"Who's going to go first?" Bones asked.

"I guess I'll go," Terri said, "I once stayed after school hours and ended up spending the night at school."

"No," Amaya said.

"Yes, I hid in my locker, waited until the bus was gone, and then wandered the school when no one was looking."

"Did you get caught?" Ferd asked.

"At four o'clock in the morning, the janitor woke me up and sent me home. It was very disappointing because I was having the time of my life."

"They set watch dragons in the highschool in case anyone gets any ideas," Celeste said, "It was my mother's idea not mine."

"I got stung by a box jellyfish," Bones said.

"Aw, please don't talk about that," Ferdinand said.

"Isn't a box jellyfish the most venomous creature in the world?" Ava said, "How'd you survive?"

"I was swimming in the water, and I thought I saw a plastic bag, so I reached to grab it, and I stung myself."

"And nearly died," Ferd said, "I was there."

"Here's a tip, do not put vinegar on jellyfish stings," Bones said.

"Yeah, that's a shame," Ava said.

"Um...I'm lesbian," Glamour said.

Everyone turned slowly.

"I–I didn't know," Amaya said.

"Well, now you do," Glamour said.

I'd always had a hunch that Glamour secretly had a crush on Amaya, especially the way she looked at her. It was sweet. Everyone had very interesting secrets to share, some were sad, some were hilarious, but I still didn't volunteer. Cel finally went.

"I'm dating someone."

"Oh, really, is it one of the millions of teenage boys you broke up with and dated again?" Lucifer said.

"No, his name is Jacob. We've been dating for over a year now."

"Does he go to our school?" Glamour asked.

"No, he goes to another school pretty far from here, but we meet up with each other on Sundays."

"Okay. What species is he? Wizard?"

"No, he's a non-wizard, but that doesn't stop me."

"Are you sure you're not making this up?" Lucifer said.

"No, my mom knows we're dating. Actually we've planned out our wedding and how many kids we're going to have. And who's going to pay the bills-"

"Now, I do believe that everyone has gone," Terri said.

'What a relief.''

"Everyone except Terry. What's your secret?"

"All of us have gone, Terry. It's only fair if you go."
