The S.T.F. Files, Book 4: DIATON

Kiss and Tell?

Nada's POV

Aly runs back and forth around two picnic tables, setting up tablecloths and banners.

"She's really into this..." Alicia looks at me. I sigh.

"This is unnecessary," I sit down at the table.

"Dimitri! Hand me that tape dispenser!" Aly calls. Dimitri does as she says.

"Are you going to help?" Dimitri asks me.
"Why? I'm already out in broad daylight. Don't you think I've suffered enough?" I cross my arms.
"Hey. Go get the cake I ordered. It should be done by now," Aly tells me.

"Why?" I yawn. Alicia grabs my arm and pulls me up.

"We'll be back~!" she sings as she links her arm with mine and startss skipping.
"I don't like cake," I mumble.
"Oh come on Nada. Live a little," Alicia grins. We get to the bakery and the patissiere says the cake will be ready in a few minutes. Alicia buys a smaller cake and sits with me outside at a cafe.

"Eat some," she order, holding up her fork with a piece.

"I said I don't like cake," I stare at her. She moves the fork to my mouth and smears the cake all over the side of my face.

"Oops..I missed," Alicia snickers. She uses her finger and sticks in in the icing on my face, eating some. "It tastes good though."

"You know...I think you want more, don't you?" I smile and grab a handful, wiping it all over her face. Alicia smirks. 

"You're on!" she takes a chunk of cake and flings it at me. We run around the table, laughing and throwing cake at each other. What a waste of some perfectly good cake...

"Number 67!" a voice calls. Alicia and I look at each other and enter the bakery again. The patisierre looks at us shocked, but hands us the cake and Alicia pays with the credit card. When we get back to the picnic table, Aly stares at us and Dimitri struggles, trying not to laugh.
"We got the cake!" Alicia smiles.

"What happened to you two?" Aly takes the cake.

"Was it good?" Dimitri wipes his finger on my face and eats the icing of his finger.

"Not another word Russia," I push him away from me.

Matt's POV

"Watermelon!" March calls out.

"We should get food last. Let's get the balloons first," Ulison points out.
"But I want the watermelon first!" March whines.
"Balloons."

"Watermelon."

"Balloons!"

"Watermelon!"

"Let's get the plates first?" Katelynn intervenes.
"Watermelon first!"

"I said balloons and that's final!"

"Plates! Do I need to spell it out for you?"

I sigh. It's the end of the world...again.... I just had to be on a team with a bunch of girls. Walking off, I get some of the other stuff that was on the list. Water... Sandwiches.. Other stuff.. I buy a watermelon, a package of plates, and a pack of water balloons.

"Let's go," I tell them.

"You got everything?" Katelynn looks at me.

"Yeah. It was actually quiet for once," I mumble.

"I think Nada is rubbing off way too much on you," Ulison puts her hands on her hips.

"Let's get in the car then and drive over to the park," March skips over.

"I'll drive," Katelynn offers.

"No, cause you drive like a maniac. I'm driving," Ulison says.
"I'm driving."

"No, I'm driving."

"I'm driving!"

"I'm driving!"

"I'm driving," I put the keys in the ignition. "Are you two coming or not?" Ulison and Katelynn look at each other and get int he car. I smile, finally having some peace and quiet. Turning on the radio, the first thing that pops up is dubstep. The song was Scary Monsters and Sprites by Skrillex.

"Next~" Katelynn smiles and changes the station to pop. Tik Tok by Ke$ha starts to fill the car.

"No, turn it back!" March reaches up and flips the station back to Skrillex.

"Let's just listen to this," Ulison changes the station to mix tapes and Blame It On The Pop by DJ Earworm.

"No, no , no! Skrillex!"

"Ke$ha!"

"Blame It On The Pop!"

"Change it back!"

"No, I like this!"
"Well I don't like it!"

"Well I do!"

"Change it back!"

"Don't touch me!"

"Quit it!"

"SHUT UP!" I scream at them.

Zion's POV

"What about this one?" Kira points at something and nudges Titan to look. Titan looks at her and laughs, nodding.

"Looks like we have everything," Titan checks the list. "Let's follow the map to the park now."

"Alright," Kira smiles and links her arm with his, walking to the van.

I silently watched them while walking to the van behind them.

"Stalking them?" Flesh comes up beside me. I jump in surprise.

"N-no I wasn't!" I move away from her.

"They look like a cute couple," Flesh giggles, then frowns. "A cute couple..." She walks to the van and gets in. I watch her curious, then get in the van behind her.

Titan drove and Kira was in the passenger seat. Flesh and I sat in the third row, the second filled with groceries and party decorations. The ride was quiet, except for the laughing in the front by Titan and Kira. I couldn't see them because packs of towels blocked my vision. It was like they were on the otherside of a wall.

"Hey, Zion..." Flesh nudges me. I look over at her, but she's intend on staring out the window.

"What?" I ask.
"Do you ever think about what it would be like to have feelings?" Flesh continues to stare out the window.
"We do have feelings."
"No, I mean like love. Do you believe in love?" Flesh asks, now looking at me.
"Where is this coming from?" I raise an eyebrow. "Are you sick or something?"

"I'm not sick," Flesh pouts. "Do you believe in love?"

"Um..sure?"  I say, seriously confused.

"Do you feel love?" 

"Flesh, I have no idea what you're getting at.." I sigh. "Can you even feel love?"

"Well then.." Flesh looks at me determined. She kisses me on the lips. "Did you feel that?"
