Dark Angels

Chapter 6- It will never work...

"So tell me how was it?" said an anxious Sheryl, through the phone.

"Sheryl, wait! I'm in the bus, I'll tell you when I will arrive!"

"I know, but I just can't wait to know."

We finally hang up. The bus was silent. Everybody was knocked down by this weekend. Personally, I was nearly sleeping. Michael was there too, at the back of the bus, with the gang. We finally arrived. I was surprised to be welcomed by a grinning Jason.

"Hey big girl, how was your date?" he teased me

"Please Jason, it wasn't a date. And you're best friend is too much from an ass to have become friend with me in one night. It will never work but you can't say, I never tried."

"Oh, I see..." he said

Sheryl, Nathan, Peter and Kelly were smiling when they saw me come, but their smiles dropped when they saw Jason with me.

"Hey, where you think you're going bro'?" asked Peter violently

"Hey chill Peter, Jason is with us."

"Really?" they said in unison. I had to explain the whole story to them, and they finally accepted it.

"How will you join the gang now?" asked Kelly

"Yes, they might be mad at you know!" added Nathan

"I don't give a damn about what they think but I won't get back there. They saw me with you twice big girl, that enough to make them want to kill me" he laughed.

"I'm sorry!" I apologized

"Don't be, with you guys, I'm feeling free."

We went to our lessons with Jason. My band was growing each day, I thought, as I saw more and more people were talking to me. I was the girl who had brought freedom to them. I felt really proud of myself, and when I passed next to the Dark Angels, I glared at them in a provoking way. All they could do was looking with a shocked expression and then looked at us with disgust when they saw Jason with us. Michael looked away when he saw Jason. I could tell he was mad at me. I had taken his best friend. I smiled at his angry look. After all, he couldn't do anything, it was Jason's choice, not mine.

This day, when I came back home, Michael hasn't taken the bus with me and wasn't at the last two lessons we had the afternoon. Sure, as his neighbor, the teachers gave me his homework I had to bring him. I thought at a time to don't bring anything to him and like that he'll be in trouble but Jason stopped me directly.

"Big girl, you're too smart to do this to him. If you want the end of the war, you should start by calm you and you'll get him easily."

He was too damn right. I headed to his home and Janet opened to me. I explained to her this situation, and asked her to give the homework to her brother but finally said:

"I think you might go gave it to him yourself!"

Apparently, Jamal and Raphael had told her they wanted to make us become friends. And she decided to help them. I sighed a bit and she leaded me to a room where we could hear music coming from.

"Ah, Mr. Jackson is "working" on new sounds!" she said

"You mean, Michael is playing music and why didn't he come to school?"

"He told us he didn't feel well, but I guess it was for this" she pointed at the door, "he loved music, but he doesn't play any instruments, almost... Only piano, I think... But he's an incredible dancer and singer. He sure got talent."

"I shouldn't disturb him..." I said

She quickly grabbed my arm and dragged me inside the room. Michael was singing while playing the piano. Raphael was laying the guitar behind him. He saw us, but Michael was too concentrated to have notice our presence. Katty was sitting there, and smiled when she saw me. She literally jumped on me and hugged me. She whispered at my ear:
