"So Chan how old are you again?" Travis asked

The shipment was finally done and everyone was gathering around the dinning hall. Music playing, a nice breeze going on. It was a nice evening.

"Oh, I just turned nineteen last month"

Chan continued to eat his food not paying attention to all the questions Travis was throwing at him. Everyone tried to make him stop, but Chan being a nice person said it was fine and he'd answer whatever.

"Looks like your still the younger one here" Yuki added making Travis glare at him

Chan looked up "oh how old are you?" He asked Travis who was a little taken back.

"Me? I'm seventeen I think"

"You don't know how old you are?"

I actually thought for a moment and didn't even know my age either. I don't even know the month, let along how long we've been here.

"Actually" I started gaining everyone's attention "I don't even know my age. What month is it?" I asked mainly to Chan since he just got to the island

"December"

"Oh my god!" Drey screamed out loud making Blue jump and spill his drink all over his pants. I tried holding in my laughter but failed. It looks like he peed his pants and he knows that.

"We missed our birthdays!"

Everyone went even quieter if that was even possible. I missed my birthday, I never do. Time goes by fast here apparently. I knew we've been here for a while but not that long.

When we were taken, school had just started, so August. It's been five months since we've been missing. I wondered if anyone has even looked for us.

"Let's throw a party then! How old are you guys?" Zero excitedly asked along with a happy Yuki by his side

"Technically we missed my birthday. Travis and Drey already had theirs" I mentioned

They were only a few months older than me. Travis being the oldest, his birthday in May. Drey being the second oldest, his birthday in July and mine being in October.

"Then why are you confused on your age Travis?" Blue asked "and why did you say you missed yours?"

Travis shrugged "I don't know how long I've been here"

"He's got a point"

"Well I like birthday party's. None of you would have known mine passed if it wasn't for her!" Drey pointed at me angrily that everyone now knows his birthday passed

"Oh boo hoo Drey! We threw you a weekend party!" I argued back

"A weekend party?" Chan questioned

"Friday threw Sunday Drey got to have a party everyday. Because he's special" Travis joked on the last part earning a punch from Drey only to get one back

Since we were twelve Drey started to have a party every weekend on his birthday. He didn't care about the presents or the people, he only cared about the food.

Like any holiday, family goes all out when it comes to food. So Drey considered his birthday to now be held on the weekend for more food.

Me and Travis never complained, it was heaven. His mother may be a bad cook here and there but when it comes down to her casseroles and cake. It is amazing.

"That's ridiculous Drey" Rose said shaking her head at the kid who was trying to defend himself  "I'm assuming you're turning seventeen Dawn?"

"Yep"

I didn't really care for party's. When my birthday rolled around, Dreys family and I would get together at Travis house for a nice dinner. They never went all out because I never liked it that way.

Once my mom became and alcoholic and my dad left I never spent a birthday with them. Dad sent me a card wishing me happy birthday with some money, and my mom passed out in the living room.

"We'll let's do something"

I shrugged at Yuki "I don't really like parties"

"Who cares if you do or not. I'm planning it, let's go Edwin. I'll need your help" Yuki said jumping up and dragging Edwin with him.

Drey getting excited, got up to following the two boys leaving his food. Don't mind if I do. I grabbed his plate and put his food on mine.

"So Chan"

"Travis leave the poor boy alone" Blue said

"It's okay" Chan laughed "what do you want to know now?"

"What's your super power?"

Blue huffed in annoyance. Before Travis got to asking Chan questions, we all talked about him. We still don't know if he has gained an ability but if he did, Rose came to the conclusion that he could heal fast.

Kinda lame if you ask me. Travis thought it was the coolest thing ever. Drey on the other hand was a little upset he was the only one from the friend group to still be normal. He got over it soon when Edwin showed up and started to baby him.

"I have some work to do. Don't stay up to late, you have work tomorrow" Blue said getting up

"Blue have you seen Ivan and Anastasia?" I asked not seeing them all day

He nodded "I had them do some work in the office. They've been pretty busy"

"Oh. I'll just see them tomorrow then"

With that Blue left giving me a kiss on the head. Rose following after him. Soon after Zero left too since he had to get up early to fix the tower the was destroyed.

It was now, Travis, Chan and I. Me and Chan continued to eat our food in a nice peaceful silence until Travis of course had to continue his twenty questions.

"So? What's the power man?"

Chan looked up at Travis who was wiggling his eyebrows at him. I gave Chan a light smilie and a silent 'I'm sorry about my friend here' to which he caught on.

"I can move things"

"So can I"

"Shut up Travis. Like telekinesis?"

Chan nodded his head at my statement "just like telekinesis. I can move my hand a certain way or just do it with my mind"

"That is so cool!" I said holding onto his arm "can you push Travis off his chair?"

"Funny Dawn" Travis sarcastically said towards my question. I could tell he was getting annoyed. Either because Chan had a cooler power than him, or because he was getting a little jelly.

"What about you?"

"What about me?" I asked Chan who gave all his attention to me

"Do you have a, superpower?" He laughed at the word 'superpower'. I guess he never used it or thought of it like that.

"I do. I can walk through anything, I'm still working on it though. It just comes it goes as it pleases" I explained

"I can help you with that. When I first got mine it just happened without me knowing it, but I learned" Chan offered

"Actually me and Dr-"

"I'd love that!" I said accidentally cutting off Travis. Yes it was an accident, if you could see Chans eyes you would get lost in them too.

No I was not feeling anything for Chan. He was just super cute and friendly. I was definitely going to be good friends with him. So is Travis and him.

Travis hated Z in the beginning and was all jealous like he is now, but he'll get over it. Soon they'll be best buddies like him and Z.
