Montrose Academy

Chapter Five

"Watch yourself, babe."

Twirling some pasta around my fork, I heard Logan's story about how during the summer she was working at a hardware store and accidentally started every chainsaw in the store.

"Everyone was freaking out! I was freaking out that they were freaking out! I was so sure I was going to get fired since later that day my boss got so many complaints about me."

We all laughed. As I was going to grab my glass of water, I noticed Sierra, Reagan and Ethan sitting at a table not too far from us. All of a sudden a duplicate of Reagan appeared and walked to the counter.

Besides me Taylor nudged my arm with her elbow, "So Allie how'd you get your powers?"

I told her about my disaster date.

"I started sneezing starbolts on him, it must've been the most bizarre thing that ever happened to him. Then I tried helping him up and threw him a couple of feet in the air. It was just a mess. I'm grateful I didn't see him anymore after that since the Academy sent me my letter a couple of days later."

As I finished telling Taylor my story I saw Logan's eyes narrow to something or someone behind me.

"Logan what is-" I didn't even finish my sentence because I felt cold water and ice land on my jeans. I looked up and saw Reagan's clone smirking down at me. From Sierra's table I heard laughter and looked up to see Sierra mouthing, "Oops sorry." Followed by a not-so-innocent shrug of her shoulders.

A few other people seated near us were watching me, waiting to see me stand up and run away crying. I wasn't going to give Sierra or them the satisfaction of seeing me like they predicted.

I looked back down at my soiled lap. I could feel the cold water on my thighs.

Then it was gone.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion,wondering where the large stain disappeared to. I looked up at Logan who had her elbow planted on the table and her two fingers in an evident snapping position. Reagan's clone was walking back to where Reagan was.

When the duplicate was a about a foot away from Reagan and Sierra, the clone tripped on its shoelaces and landed on their table. Both of their drinks tipped over and landed on their laps.

A loud shriek from Reagan rang out.

"Ugh! Your clone is so stupid Reagan! It ruined my top!"Sierra screeched.

"Logan." Angelina whispered.

"What? You saw what that thing did to Allie. It was no accident. Sierra told Reagan to make her clone pull that stunt. I'm just giving the two of them a taste of their own medicine." Logan clearly stated.

"I know, but don't stoop down to their level. They aren't worth it."Angelina replied.

Taylor looked at me and gave me a small smile.

"Angelina's right." I said and Logan looked at me, "You shouldn't stoop down to their level. No matter how bad we'd want to. I appreciate what you did but next time just let it go."

"I understand." Logan simply replied.

All four of us continued to eat, Logan poured me some more water.S ierra and Reagan were still bickering with each other at their own table and Ethan and Tyler were standing up, fixing on to exit.

"I'm going to go talk to Dex. I'll be right back." Taylor notified and left.

"They are the cutest couple ever." Angelina gushed, "I mean just look at them. She's his whole world, you can tell by just the way he looks at her."
