Riptide Academy

Partially Stalling

I was still out of it when Kyia almost shoved me all the way off my chair.

"Shit! Fu-ck you!" I cursed apurbtly, then realised a split second later that my Principal, and Kyia the Police Offcier.

I teeter on the chair before I can balance out my weight. The chair legs wobble in the air before they start to go down. Then they falter again, decending slower. Can I do it agian, this time? Last time I balanced on two legs it took all my balance and I was never really balancing- sorta just posing for a second before I lost my balance and the legs slamed into the ground.

I laughed as I stayed still, suspendrd in the air on the chair, only on two legs. Kyia scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Now your just showing off Aelxandra." Howards amused voice sounded.

"I know why you put your number into my phone. But why? What happens if someone your more importantly, Charli sees it!"

"Change my name to a different name, place or thing. I don't care unless it's something stupid or rude Alex. I will always try to help you guys in a fight. But sometimes...." Howards sighs heavily, "being a Princeipal comes first."

Kyia yawns and then a chours of yawns start, if you looked at someone yawning you'd be the one yawning next and you'd set off the next person.

"I could sleep for aeons and not even shadow dino's stomping could wake me up." Howards yawns.

Which triggers Kyia's yawn again. She slams her palm into Howdy's desk as her mouth opens wide.

"Ima kill you; freeze you to death. " she mumbles.

I laugh with a chuckling Howdy.

"I shoul, uhm-....... the rest of my friends will think I've been kidnaped if I don't apear soon." On cue, my stomach rumbles. "And I could never miss a dinner.

"You sound like your best friends cousin! That Eljah, I swear could eat a whole fricking horse and still devour my buffet. Speaking of that, I swear he's the reason the foods getting a bigger budget." Howards laughs at first.

I shakw my head, thinking about how Eli is already down there and shoving his face full of food.

"Well as much as I would like to keep talking....We're all hungry and I don't want angry young adults seeking after me because I 'kidaped' their bestfriend." Howards sighs.

"I'm getting changed, meet you two their at the food court." Kyia says as she leaves.

"I couldn't be bothered to walk down the stairs. I'm starving but it's like my whole body wants to drop dead, asleep on the spot. Was the exahustion always this bad for you guys." Howards almost yawns.

"Yeah. It took us a few hours to get bacm to normal, food and moving does help with regaining energy but sleeping is the best- however if you do you'll probably sleep for almost two days. That's why your Neice was late to her art class." Now it's my turn to yawn.

"It slowly gets better."

Howards dips into her room and grabs a suspicously looking jacket like a pantsuit balzer. As if she wasn't already dressed smartly enough. White, collared shirt buttoned up excot  the last two and two necklaces were visible to bee seen. light blue denim jeans with a caramel brown belt and white and balck Nikes.

"Like I'm confused. Does she know she has style or does she do it because she's the princripal and she has to look prefesional?" I think.

"I'm ready." Howards pops her body half out from behind her slidding door.

She tugs on the jacket and opens the door fully. The only thing I can see is the edge of a bed in another room with crinkled sheets all the eay bsck unfolded and what looks to be like pjamas dumped on a corner.

"Hold on," I say as she reaches for the door handle of her office door. "I might have a better idea. It'll save us from those stairs."

"Go on..." Howdy drawled.

I show her how I twist and push certain buttons on my morpher after the braclet turned into it very owly amd delibretly.

"It may drain us more but we don't have to walk down those stairs and acrross to the food hall." I sigh.

"Explain." Howards says as she taps her new acessiory and spins the ring of of the lip around the screen around halway before pushing in the two buttons.

"We figured this out randomly. But focus on where you want to appear; in this case, the hallway outside the hall. And spin your ring once more." I say.

"Show me." She says.

A grin flashes onto my lips. With a quick half spin of the ring around the screen I teleport out of her office.

"Bye!" I say cherrily, grinning.

I see Howards shocked and confused face knitting snd scrunching up just before I land outside the hallway of the cafateria. I wait a for a few seconds. I guessed Howards woulsn't be game enough to try it.

A squeal erupts from beside me as someone matertilises next to me. In one swift speedy movement my hand clamps over Demitri Howards' mouth. And she squeals into my hand.

Once she's over her initall freakout I remove my hand. "How long has that been hapening." She asks.

I cab't belive it. Howards, as white as a Vampire looks as if she's about to vomit.

"Your afraid of it." I marvel.

"Shut up or I cancel your schooling."

"Blackmail!"

"Karma." She hisses.

"Wow! H- how'd you guys beat me here?" Kyia asks.

"Someone showed me the death trap of apearing like a ghost." Howards scowls.

"Oooff!" Kyia splutters before covering her mouth with a hand. "Poor Demi, getting motion sickness from teleporting."

"Shut up."

"Make me."

"There are several things I would like tk say to you." Howards growls towards Kyia.

"No- nope. Not being apart of whatever this is." I squeak.

Those two seem to be getting closser and clooser as friends ever since I keep having meetings with them. I shudder. As I walk into the room my friends all balk and shout me over to them. I complain about my empty stomach and manage to escape them  to fill up my plate first.

But I can't escape the inevitable.
