A Hero's Other Half

I wonder?

The gang took in what Gia said, especially Troy. Selina was the only person he ever liked. That says a lot for his background. Before the reuniting at the beach, he met her since they were 5 when they pushed each other in mud. It was odd, but who knew?

And Troy was and still is distant from some people. So it was hard to make friends or even like someone that way. Plus, she's his first girlfriend. It would be awful to have a long relationship like this gone wrong. Especially when it took so long to tell Selina how he felt.

Suddenly, a random yet a need to know thought popped in his mind. He turned to his silenced friends/teammates and whispered,

"Did Gosei contact you guys at all about any alien sightings?"

"I called Gosei and he said no aliens were attacking nor spotted." Noah informed him.

Jake had a smirk on his face and said in a tune,

"See I'm right! I'm right! I'm right! I'm right! That's right I'm right!"

"What's Jake talking about?" Emma asked.

"Jake thinks it's the end when it's not. Look we don't know if they'll attack this week or the next. So we all have to keep all our muscles flexed and ready for battle. Okay?" Troy stated.

Everyone had nodded in agreement, even Jake. That's when Selina walked in. She saw the gang and sat down next to Troy. He was checking inside his book bag, so he didn't notice her.

"So, is that bag your new best friend or?" Selina joked.

Troy sighed.

"Why would a bag-"

He slowly turned around.

"Selina!" Troy exclaimed.

"Hey." Selina responded.

They both hugged each other, but Troy began to feel a little weird about her. After some very detailed info from Gia, he became cautious. But to be honest, the chances of something like that would be unlikely. So, Troy put on a smile when she let go.

"Wait, why are you here? I told you I'd come get you." He asked.

"Yeah, I don't listen." Selina responded.

Troy sighed again.

"You never listen to me." He said.

"I know." Selina replied.

"Why?" Troy asked.

Selina shrugged.

"I like seeing the look on your face." She admitted.

Troy rolled his eyes.

"Seriously." He said.

Selina nodded. Troy shook his head as he wrapped an arm around her. The gang had smiled too, except Gia. She knew that Selina had to be hiding something. Though, at the same time, she wondered when she should show the picture.

Her cousin, Charlotte, was in Arizona with her mom. They were really close. Gia asked her to take pictures of every thing she saw and witnessed. Charlotte knew Selina was with Troy, so she busted her in Arizona with a pic. It showed Selina making out with another guy.

"What's that?" Jake asked Selina.

He was looking at the box in her hand. It was red with a gold ribbon around it. It was small, but it looked like it had something special inside. Selina smiled. It was clearly a gift.

"It's just a gift." She replied.

"Oh yeah, for who?" Troy asked.

Selina smirked a little.

"You." She said as she passed the box to him.

"You got me a gift?" Troy asked.

Selina nodded. Troy grabbed the box. He slowly unwrapped the gift. Once the ribbon was off, he lifted the lid up. There, he found a neon chain. It fits around your wrist and it lights up at night. The best part was that it was red.

"Woah. Where did you-"

"I was in Arizona a few weeks ago. Those neon chains were starting out in other areas, so I searched all the stores I saw. I finally found them at my dad's friend Herald's gift shop. He had a huge order coming in, so I was the first one. Besides, this was much easier than just waiting." Selina interrupted Troy.

She rolled one of her sleeves up. It was revealed that she had bought the same exact color she got him. Troy smiled. He hadn't gotten many gifts before, so this meant a lot to him. He put the chain around his left wrist. Just right!

"How come there only sold in certain areas?" Noah asked her.

"Because, they wanted to test them out to make sure that their product worthy." Selina responded.

Noah nodded.

"So, can you hook me up with one of those?" Jake asked.

Selina shrugged.

"Maybe. I have to see if when they'll be out. Hopefully it's closer to here." She said.

"Thanks." Troy said to her.

Selina smiled as she hugged him again.

Emma smiled as well. It was about time somebody else besides Jake found their love interest. Although, she noticed that Gia had been silent for awhile, so she spoke to her.

"Hey Gia, are you okay?"

Gia nodded.

"Yeah, I was thinking about that trip my cousin went on in Arizona. She had a blast. But she didn't get any souvenirs." She answered.

Both of them laughed. But,Gia had to tell Troy sooner or later. She'll be just as bad if she knew the entire time. However, she didn't want to mess anything up. I mean, he really loves her. Gia didn't want to be the one to ruin it. But, she didn't want to be the one who kept her mouth shut for so long.
