I casually mess with my wavy black hair. Quinn's a little...different than the average teenager, but, you can't judge a book by it's cover, am I right? I mean, for all I know, she's drunk on pumpkin spice lattes, and has about million selfies and deep quotes decorated with emojis on her Instagram. Okay, maybe that's a little too much thinking on my part. Or just not true. Maybe she just has...a FaceBook account! The thought makes me cringe. I have an account on about every single form of social media, and I know that FaceBook is just for people who want to connect with their old high school friends from like, a zillion years ago.
Still, I don't think that Quinn is that much different from any other girl. Well, of course I don't know, but I'll stick with my first assumption.
"Look," she says, "I know this seems a bit creepy, but I know who you're looking for - the Controller of Elements. How do I know? It's easy. You've been talking about how you're going to go there just as everybody else talks about my dad."
"Not to offend your family or anything if you get offended really easily," Kelsie begins, muttering the last part about getting offended really easily,"but how does your dad have anything to do with-" - we all look at her, knowing that Quinn basically just said that the Controller was her dad - "oh. Oh."
"He is, actually," Quinn says.
I thought we would just humor her, and then not go with her if she tells us to, but Tammi has some new plans.
"Okay, Miss Creepy Pants," she says, "I hope you know that you are officially weird."
"Okay," Quinn responds, looking a bit more angry than she did before Tammi opened her mouth and spoke, "You don't believe that my dad's the Controller? Then I'll prove it."
There's about two seconds of silence, when Kelsie and Serena start cracking up and high five each other.
Quinn pulls out her phone, and flips to a picture.
"Remember, from all the stories, the Controller has some magic crystal?" she askes, and we all nod. "Well, if I'm not the Controller's daughter, then why did I find this in my house?"
She shows us a picture she took of the crystal.
One part of me, though, is telling me that I'm not even supernatural.
