Montrose Academy

Chapter Six

"A pleasure indeed."

I could still feel the softness of his tongue across my lower lip. To say, I was still thinking about the kiss was an understatement. I was obsessing. Every action he did while he kissed me was engraved in my mind. The way his large hands took my hips. The way his mouth claimed mine so easily and swiftly. The way his tongue swept over my neck. All of it was stuck in my memory.

When I had returned back to my dorm, Angelina and Logan had already showered and were playing a game of cards.

"What's wrong? You look flustered." Angelina reported followed by her lowering a pair of cards.

"I-uh met Coach Clarkson and Sierra thought it would be okay to have a confrontation with me right after you two left." I let myself back on my bed, exhausted with what had just happened minutes prior.

Both of them turned to look on me.

"She what?"

"She came up to me after you guys left. She got right up in my face and told me to watch my back. I couldn't use my powers so Carter helped me out."

Logan shot a smirk to Angelina,who was looking down at her cards again.

"Told you we should've stayed. You could've had a real conversation with the boy."

"Whatever." Angelina muttered, pushing some untamed hair behind her ear.

"What's his power? He just grabbed my hand for a second and next thing I know his hands are armed with starbolts."

Whenever I asked about someone's powers, Logan was quick to answer. Not this time. Angelina answered instead.

"He has the power of absorption. With just one touch he can absorb anyone's power. He must've done that with you." There was a slight edge as she mentioned me. She must be thinking that I had taken an interest in him. If only she knew what had happened a few minutes ago.

"Sierra and him didn't do anything. Coach Clarkson saw it and came over before anything got out of hand. How old is he anyways, he looks so young."

"I heard he's going on thirty-two."Logan said, narrowing her eyes at her cards.

"He looks good for thirty-two."I mentioned.

"He looks amazing. If I was closer to his age I'd be trying to be his girlfriend."Angelina said.

"You heard what people are saying. It looks like Nurse Wilkinson and him have a thing. People see him going there all the time."

Angelina stayed quiet before slamming her cards down with a wide grin on her face.

"Ha! I win!" She cheered, "I win! In your face!"

Logan swiped her hand over the scattered cards and they all formed a neat pile before she slid them into the packaging.

"Now we can go to bed." Logan stated standing up from the floor and making her way to her bed. Angelina followed suit.

"Are you going to bed yet, Allie?" Angelina asked, referring as I had slept for the majority of the day.

"I might stay up a little longer. I need to email my family and tell them what's been happening." I saw her nod.

"Goodnight, Allie." They both said and the room got quiet.

Logan had been kind enough to unpack my clothes from my bags with just one snap. I went through my suitcase searching for a silver laptop and my phone.

I had charged my laptop before I had left home, same with my phone. Leaning back on the wall beside my bed, I powered on my computer and switched on my phone.
