Wow I swear that was the lamest hurricane EVER.

Oh well,  here's the story.

++++++++++++++

I met up with Ashton and Rhea halfway to our dorm. I decided to skip volleyball and dance wasn't for another hour. We walked their in silence, but the second Rhea closed the door Ashton started rolling out the questions.

"What are we going to do? I know they're keeping something from us... But what? I saw them hiding something in the attic last night in a dream. I thought it was just a dream at the time but after what they told us... I know they're trying to keep something from us! Ugh. So how was class? Was it hard? Mine was..." Rhea clamped her hand over her mouth. Ashton glared up at her but shut up and moved away.

"Ashton, I know. Madame Icianic mumbled under her breath that everything was hidden in the attic. She must have forgotten that I could hear her. I think we should check it out," I said with determination. I wanted to know this stuff. They had not right to keep it from us.

"Is that a good idea Natalia?" Rhea asked, "Maybe we really shouldn't look into it. It could be dangerous."

"If it were that dangerous would they still keep it in the school?" I asked.

Rhea looked away, "Let's wait a week. Fit in a little more so no one gets suspicious."

Ashton nodded, "That's a good idea. We should develop our powers more."

I fell on my bed and closed my eyes, "Fine, fine whatever. All this stuff is hurting my head. I have a worse headache than a hungover Lindsey Lohan."

"Same here," Rhea chuckled and layed next to me. Ashton just giggled and pulled a can of Coke out of the fridge.

Just as we started watching TV, there was a knock on the door.

I got up slowly and opened the door. Standing there was a boy about my age with dirty blond hair and brown eyes that looked like milk chocolate. He was attractive.

"Can I help you?" I asked politely.

"Is Rhea there?" he asked with a flirty smile.

"Y-yeah," I stuttered, "Rhea! Some kid's at the door for you!"

She groaned and heaved herself off the bed and opened the door all the way so she could see the boy.

"Riley," she breathed but quickly but on an annoyed frown, "I thought I told you to leave me alone once we got here."

Ashton then came up next to her and whispered so he couldn't here (but of course I could), "Who is he Rhea?"

"Natalia, Ashton, this is my foster brother, Riley. Riley, these are my roommates," Rhea sighed. Ashton shook his hand and smiled at him. I just gave him a small wave and looked  away. I don't like people.

"Hi ladies, " He gave us a smile and pushed his way into our room, "Nice place R, looks like mine but neater."

"Shut up, pig. And get out," Rhea snapped.

Riley pouted and slipped his arm around her waist, "Now why on earth would I want to do either of those things?"

Ashton gasped a little so only I could hear. Was there something going on between them?

"Get the hell off me! That's gross! You're my brother... It's wrong," Rhea pulled his arm off of her and glared at him with disgust.

He just chuckled and started walking toward the door, "You look so hot when you get mad at me. By the way, " He walked up and put a singe white rose on the counter, "I got this for you, Rhea. I know they're your favorites." Riley gave her one last fliry smile before walking out the door.

Rhea held the rose gently in her hand. 

"I only told him once. And he remembered."

++++++++++++++++++++

Ashton and I didn't ask any questions about Riley's visit. I knew she would tell us in time.

Now we sat at a table with Cameron, Rick, Matthew, Ryan and Bridget. No one had said a word. We all just stared at each other. Like a group of ducks sitting on a rock. 

After ten minutes of silence, Rick spoke, "So you know now. You should know we are all gifted. Bridget is lava,  Matthew is sand, Cameron is plants, Ryan is lightning and I am rock."

Ashton spoke since I was frozen and Rhea was lost in thought, "Good to know. Yes we know. We are the star, sun, and moon children."

Bridget gave us a warm smile, "It is an honor to meet you, really. You three will be the most powerful people in the universe. It's amazing just to look at you."

It was weird having people say things like that about me. I was always a nobody. Everyone ignored me in fear of having their head ripped off. Now, in only a few days I had gone from quiet loser to the moon child. The one everyone wants to be. The powerful one.

Suddenly, my world went spiraled and I was in the middle of a field. Around me, there were thousands of dead bodies. Among them I saw Madame Icianic, Headmistress Lawrence, Bridget and Cameron. Matthew was nearby, trying to hold himself up with a broken leg and a bleeding head. Julie was next to me, completely fine. She nodded to me once and then disappeared into thin air. I could feel tears streaming down my face as I looked up at the sky. All I could see was darkness. Then a face came out and swarmed around me, saying, "Give up now moon child, while you can." I looked the face straight in the eye and shot it with and incredible blast of air and water. I managed to hold it off and then Rhea and Ashton were there, fighting beside me. The last thing I saw before coming back to reality was the face lunging at us again.

Then I was back in the cafe with the whole table staring at me.

Ryan spoke first, "Natalia what did you see?"

I told them of my vision and rubbed my temples. That was scary. Whatever that was, I would make sure it would never happen. I had a feeling that that was the evil everyone was talking about. We had to do our research before it was too late.

Ryan was then beside me, rubbing my back, "I promise that wont happen."

I jerked back in surprise of someone touching me. Ryan looked a little hurt by my reaction and went back to his seat. Ashton started a conversation with Cameron that somehow made her bat her eyelashes and giggle like Miley Cyrus on drugs. I mentally puked and Rhea seemed to have the same reaction. She suddenly got up and walked toward the door of the cafe. I could see her walk up to a smirking Riley before they both walked out of the cafe. I sighed, I had to trust that she wasn't going to do anything stupid.

I sat there eating when Ryan came up next to me again. Rick was talking with Cameron and Ashton and Matthew and Bridget had left; something about Bridget's outfit for tomorrow.

"Hey," Ryan said softly.

"Hi."

"So how are your gifted classes? Does Sir Andrews hate you already?" He asked casually, but I could hear his heartbeat quickening. I honestly had no idea what that meant but it didn't mean I couldn't talk to him.

"No actually. He told me I was his favorite student," I said with a small smile, "He's nice to me but I can see the way he treats the other students. He must not be like that often."

Ryan just gaped at me, "Hell ya he's not. He's the most feared teacher in the whole school! You must be some girl." He muttered the last part with a small blush. I looked over at Ashton who was giving me the thumbs up. Cameron was smirking beside her. I tilted my head at them in confusion but they were already flirting with each other and paying no attention to me.

What was that about? 

I shrugged it off and continued talking to Ryan.

+++++++++++++

OK for you slow people. YES RYAN LIKES NATALIA AND YES THERE IS A WEIRD THING BETWEEN RILEY AND RHEA

There I said that. Natalia just isn't observant enough with boys to notice.

I THINK IT'S SWEET <333333
