Elementation: Earth and Trees (ON HIATUS)

Chapter 15: Secrets and Salsa Dancing

"Party at mine!" Echo exclaims, shoving a poster in my face.

I look up from my Chemistry and yell,  " ECHO YOU IDIOT!"

She jumps back, "What did I do now?"

"You do realise that we live together, right?"

"Yeah...." Echo trails off, clearly confused.

"And that what's mine is yours?"

"Mi Casa Tu Casa!" Echo confirms.

"And you think I'm okay with you having a party in our room?"

Echo laughs and rolls her eyes, " Oh no silly! It's not in our room, it's in the senior's dorm common room!"

My eyes widen, " The senior's common room?! How did you ever get them to help you?"

Echo shakes her head as if this was the stupidest question in the world.
"Simple.

I invited them."

And she left the room, hips swishing hair bouncing.

Leaving me wondering in awe.

What just happened?

"Hey gorgeous...", a voice whispers in my ear from behind.

"Hey Clarke," I say turning around to give him a kiss.

"So I hear there's some sort of scheme your redhead is planning?"

"Yeah... And it's in the Senior's Dorm!"

Clarke chuckles.

"What?!"

"It's just so cute that you talk about seniors like they're the biggest celebrities in the world."

I frown, "But Clarke, they're Seniors..."
"Yes and they're just another group of students just like us."

"But they're Seniors!"

Clarke sighs and looks into my eyes, "There's just no winning with you is there?"

I smile. "Nope," I say popping the 'p'.

He holds out his hand and offers me a piggyback.

Once I've clambered on, Clark lets out an Indian like cry and gallops away, me laughing maniacally while bouncing like a broken Jack-in-the-box.

I know, we're awesome.

When we arrive at our lunch spot, the group has already arrived.

Chase and Aria are making googly eyes at one another and feeding themselves.

Aqua and Jake are deep in conversation, maybe about the swim team?

And Echo and Blaze... they're in the middle of an intense stare down.
A very angry stare down.

"It just feels like you never talk to me anymore!" Blaze cries, throwing his hands up in the air.

"What do you call this then?!" Echo shouts.

"YELLING!" Blaze yells back.

"Well then..." Clarke trails off looking at the scene before us.

"One day we leave them for five minutes by themselves and Chase and Aria may have Charia babies, Aqua and Jake might start making out, Echo and Blaze are going to kill each other and Joe and Nicole are no where to be found!" I rant.

"Right here!" Nicole calls cheerfully.

She and Joe come out from the clearing near the cafeteria.
