The Powerful 9

Chapter 4.1 (Alexis POV)

The investigation starts today. I stayed up a bit late last night, looking at the school website, trying to find out who that redhead was. I know she set the fire, and that I was going to prove it. Her friends are probably in on it, all of them.

Although now that I think about it her Friends are a bit distant from her today. And she has been acting a bit weird, eyeing people down...... or maybe she was just checking them out. That would actually explain why those 2 guys are avoiding her (sort-of), but it doesn't explain why the others would be. That is unless....... No bad thoughts, She wouldn't do anything like that.

Another reason they would avoid her was they were mad that she set the fire, without them. Maybe they wanted in on it to. Yes, that has to be the explanation here.

Now if she would just admit it, or even any of them. That would be extremely helpful tome figuring out who I need to meet and where to go next. You see there is a reason for me to be here at this time, it is still being put together though. Not all the pieces are known, yet at least.

School is over now and I am no closer than this morning, which is SUPER FRUSTRATING. None of them were at lunch and I couldn't find them around the school anywhere.

As i walk out she was sitting there near the tree line, just off the school property. The red headed girl, there where the fire was. My main target. Playing with a lighter, flicking it on and off, on and off. When she finally kept it on it was surprising, just not as much as what happened next. Her finger hovered over the lighter before flicking it through the flames, side to side.

She hasn't noticed me yet. I silently walk up behind her. I glance around for the others, or anyone. Nothing. Perfect, I tap her shoulder. She jumps a bit as she closes the lighter and slips in her pocket as she faces me. "You scared me!" She exclaimed, a hand over her heart. "J-just what do you want form me? You gonna tell the teachers I'm playing with a lighter?" She asks defensively.

I step back my hands in the air. "Whoa there! I was just gonna ask for your name, and talk." I say looking her over.

She was very beautiful, fiery red hair, big glowing bright green eyes. smooth lightly tan skin, that looked a bit like glass. A bit short, skinny, but she wasn't exactly small. She looked like a living doll, or a model. Bit like Lucy and Rissa.

"Is that all?" She asks.

I nod. "I'm Alexis." I say lowering my hands.

She sighs, and remains quiet for a moment.

"Seika." She replies.

I give her a small smile.

"So....Seika, what grade are you in?" I ask awkwardly.

I mean I finally have her where I want her, but her guard is up, and asking her anything I do want to ask, would seem suspicious.

"Same as you. Alexis, why are you here? You can't just want to get to know me." She said.

I freeze for a second. She catches on fast. "W-what makes you think that?" Damn! I stuttered.

She gives a smirk. "I knew it. You wouldn't approach me unless you had something to gain. So what? The fire, is that it? You want to know if I started it?!" She says, getting more hysteric. I wave my hands trying to calm her down.

"N-no! It's not-"

"Oh cut it! I'm not dumb!" She yells at me.

She shoves me and starts running. "YOU'RE ALL THE SAME!" She screams at me, as she runs. Runs right into the forest and disappears.
