Unclear Future

♦ Chapter 11

At the Dance; 

"Salutations!" Temp greeted Ivory, with Aiden behind her, still looking surprised she wore a grey dress.

"Greetings." Ivory says looking at the ceiling; seemingly bored.

"Have you seen your soulmate?" Temp asks giggling.

"Nope. I haven't seen the rest of my team either." Ivory frowns.

"Dang, they should be here. Wanna search for them?" Temp offers as Lukas walks up behind them, "That's too much work for a regular person."

"Well, lucky you, we're not regular, braid boy." Aiden mocks.

Lukas looks for his braid hopefully frowning seconds later, "Not funny."

Temp says laughing, "Not for you, but for me it was, notice anything different bro?"

"You wearing a dress?" He comments not really interested.

"I cut 4 inches off of my hair." Temp explains. Lukas glares for a moment, "Yes that's a huge amount compared to 6 feet. Why does Aiden have red eyes? I mean controlling water you should have like blue eyes right?"

"The only reason you noticed is because Copper's eyes are around that shade of red." Ivory pouts "Giant man whore."

Aiden sighs, "If you really want to know, which I don't think you do, my father was.. a complicated man, he um, kind of just had red eyes for reasons I do not share. Although, I will give you advice, get your head out of your ass."

Ivory laughs, "You got told by a first year!" She says boldly, "Lukas I'd follow his advice. Now are we looking for the idiots skipping or?"

Temp walks away, seeing Ace's head. "Aero!"

Ace quickly reacts to his last name, "What's up Temp..." he mutters.

"Your team is looking for you." She explains.

"Oh okay, thanks for telling me." Ace quietly walks over to where Aiden, Lukas and Ivory were. Looking pale against the lights where the dance was being held.

"Are you okay?" Temp whispers in his ear.

Ace nods slowly, before conversing with the others. "Nice to see you and Ivory making an appearance together, Lukas."
"I suppose it is." Lukas says, " You shouldn't be sulking around like that midget man."

"Lukas, now is not the time." Ivory says glancing a warning at the first years.

Ace cracks his neck tired still even though he slept the whole day. "Lukas, I've given up so you can go, deal with Copper. You can have Ivory too. I really don't give any fucks right now. I really could care less about your taunts, it's been going on for 2 years." Ace seemingly having trouble breathing, continues, "I'm going back to the dorm. Kill me in my sleep if you feel like it Mr. Leader." Ace walks away.

Temp grabs Aiden's hand, leading him away from the argument, to find Lily and Evan, glaring at her brother.

Ivory groans annoyed, "Lukas, have I ever told you to shut your mouth? Or have I ever told you you're the first guy I've felt like I could be with?"

Lukas's eyes widen, was he really oblivious. "I-"
"Fuck off." Ivory says crossing her arms, "Come back when I'm in tears and your crush kills herself."

Temp watches while they argue from a distance, she sees Ivory cross her arms. "Shit," she mumbles. "I'll be back, stay right here." She kisses Aiden on the cheek and walks over to her brother and her best friend, other than Lily. "Hey, what's up?" She asks worriedly.
