Testing the Waters (A Miniminter Fanfiction)

Chapter 3 - Sharing Admiration

-Simon's Pov-

The car was awkwardly quiet, but it didn't feel that bad. Occasionally I would glance at her, seeing her eye reflect the ocean in them with the blue color they were.

We made small talk, which was weird for me so it didn't last long after she noticed that I felt uncomfortable. I was extremely shy around girls and I could never approach them in such a small setting.

We arrived at the Sidemen house that I live at as I felt the car jolt, stopping the motion it was in.

"Thanks Sam." I told her, unbuckling my seatbelt.

She unbuckled herself as well. "No problem."

We let ourselves out and I walked her out to the front doorstep. "I guess I will see you tomorrow then." She said shyly.

"You do know you can come in if you'd like, right?" I offered.

She rolled her eyes at me. "Says the guy that staying wasn't a good idea." She joked, but paused, getting more serious.

"I don't want to invade your home." She laughed. "I am the worst at first impressions."

"You did fine with me." I smiled, trying to give her some confidence.

She nodded. "Thanks." She smiled back, showing her perfect teeth that she told me was only because of her braces she had for so long. "But I have to go. I still need to finish that story so I get a pay check."

"Alright." I said, opening the door, and stepping inside, leaving my door open so we could say goodbye.

"See you tomorrow Simon."

I waved. "See you tomorrow too Samantha. Have a good day."

She walked off, having her wavy hair bounce up and down with every step.

I closed the door behind me, making a small thud echo through the house. "SIMON!" I heard Vikk yell through the house.

"What?" I called back, but quieter than Vikk's loud shouting.

"Was that Samantha? That TV anchor that you never shut up about?"

I rolled my eyes. "I don't talk about her that much!" I yelled back up the stairs.

"Sure mate!"

I walked up the stairs, and saw Vikk playing with the circuits in the house. Little streaks of sparks of electricity shot out every few seconds it was in Vikk's grasp.

"Do you not have a better way of training then causing our whole house to lose power?" I asked, leaning against the wall.

He smiled innocently. "Nope."

"I just don't want to get shocked when I am making toast again." I reminded him, still feeling the electric pulse in my hand which happened months ago.

"I said sorry. What more do you want me to do?" He started. "Make me kiss it to feel better?"

I shook my head frantically. "No thank you."

"Yeah, I guess it is payback for the time you put a thunderstorm in my room as a prank." He admitted.

"It's just a prank bro." I laughed, mimicking the guy that played very debatable pranks on people just for a video.

I felt Josh walk into the room, checking his watch. "Hey guys." He said in heavy focus.

"Done any training?" I asked.

"You know I hate training with my powers." He whined. "I don't want to see the future. It always makes me go against it, and most of the time, make the future even worse than it was."
