Woah...

I see you like it.

I jump from the sudden break of silence and turn around and see Alena there smiling at me

Yeah, its cool, it has a cool setup and everything you'd need for videos but there's one problem.

And What's that?

She looks at me with confusion in her eyes

There's no name on it... On the door, who's is it?

Welllllll...

Boom. We hear the door open and everybody rushes in.

Alena, hide jess, Alex is coming!

What does she mean Alex is coming? He can't get in, right?!

What? OK. Cmon jess.

She grabs me by the arm and pulls me to her office, she puts me underneath her desk and puts a chair in front of me.

Be quiet, don't move, I'll tell you when it's safe.

Alena says, locking the door to her office. I can hear noises from inside her office, they must be talking. Why am I the one that's hiding? The rest of them are just as likely to get hurt as I am! The desk I was under was close to the door, so I peeked my head out and looked through the glass door.

They are still taking when the door swings open. I hold my breath but out steps Alex and some other boys. It seems they know each other. Kacy has her fist clenched, she's glaring at Alex. Alena looks at one of the guys beside Alex. He has his head down. Kacy yells something, I hear my name thrown in there. Alex spits at her and steps forward, pushing her down. So many things happen at once. Amber vanished, probably turning invisible. I look at Alena and my eyes widen. Her eyes are changing colors. What does it mean?

The jocks all laugh, Alex is cracking his knuckles. Alex taps the guy next to him and he looks up, he has brown eyes and hair that's flipped to the side, he's wearing a graphic T-shirt and some beige skinny jeans with gray and white converse.

Alex whispers in his ear and he nods, he looks at Alena and says something, his eyes turn to a bright blue. Suddenly water shoots forward and surrounds Alena. Alena panics, trying to escape but the water- grabs her somehow? The water freezes quickly and tears are coming out of Alena's eyes, which are now back to the normal color. She looks like she's in a lot of pain. She yells, blinking back tears.

Alex steps toward Kacy again and says something. I can tell he's getting mad. Kacy doesn't say anything. He takes another step forward and swings his fist to punch Kacy, but before it reaches her he's knocked down by an invisible force. It must be Amber. He's hit again, and again. I can see bruises forming. He yells something, and all the boys run out. The door bangs closed and the ice around Alena falls, cracking and scattering all over the floor. She wipes away any evidence of her pain and glares in the direction of the door.

Alena walks towards the door and I duck my head back under the desk. The door creaks open and she pulls the chair away from the desk, kneeling on the floor so I can see her.

It's safe now
