Water Wonders

Chapter 1

My name is Mazi Celise I'm 16 attending Blackstone Secondary School in Bath England. You'd think this is just another cheesy teenage love story like any other. But I would say there is definitely a bit more to it than that. To say I'm awkward would be a complete understatement. But I'll shut up now and you can see for yourself what I have to deal with.

***

I and my bestfriend or more like only friend, Winter are sitting in the cafeteria. She of course is Chattin' it up about the new guys this school year. She is a bit boy-obsessed, by that I'm saying she'll date anything with a pulse. Though in my opinion she is not a slut, she is surprisingly modest. Contrary to how it sadly usually ends up for her she is a big fan a monogamy. But unfortunately for her guys in our school either are total douches, Sex-obsessed horndogs, or taken by the more favored blonde, tall and curvy girls. She and I did not fit that description, She had the tall part, but she was spanish and lanky, guess guys do not exactly like girls their height and flat chested. Me on the other hand had the curvy part, I had a pear-shaped body. I could fit in a b-cup...barley. I am pale and i liked my hair in a short black pixie. I was also a little chubby. Not because I was lazy or over-ate but because I was 4'11' and it's a little hard to be that short and weigh more than 110 pounds.

Plus she had just about the worst taste in men, always immature and would leave her for anything walking past with a large chest. Me I liked guys, but I can't flirt and whenever I would try to I was so obvious that i could be wearing a giant sign on my head that said "KISS ME! OR ELSE" and get the same reaction. And I have a type as well...stupidly I seem to always fall for the funny type which is great but they were never just that, they also were flirtatious and players, so I could never tell if they actually liked me or just thought I was kinda cool.

While Winter was talking about some twins or something I was daydreaming about my crush He was beautiful. In my opinion atleast, See I kind of have a thing for gingers. Why. I don't know. But he was just so cute and I love the right amount of freckles. His hair was about medium length so that he could have some fringe to frame his face but not too much, I was past my emo guy phase! His name was Porter Graham. New, A third year or the grade above me. I had art, band and theatre tech with him. I Had the courage to talk to him a few times and everytime he never failed to atleast make me chuckle and or blush.

Winter decided to go over and talk to the twins. I told her it was a bad idea (see girls don't very much like us, because we're against passive aggressive BS) But she insisted so i told her that I would wait close by incase I decided to step in, girls like to pick on winter because she is so boy-crazy. And I usually defind her with a comeback...or a threat, My mom says I'm kind of like a tiny ball of aggression. Which I would say is accurate. She walks over and flirts with them, next thing i know some girl is thrusting her water at her, which is stupid because our school is cheap and charges 2.50 a bottle! But I know Winter will be devastated since it's only the second day of the school year so she is wearing nice new clothes, so I know I'm about to slap this girl, I shout as the Liquid flies through the air and just like that it stops! In mid fu-reakin air! Did I do that? Everyone looks at me for screaming and I panic suddenly the water falls to the ground. Winter Looks at me with wide eyes and I just bolted. As i ran out I heard her say "Mazi did you do that crazy shi-" the door slams behind me and I run to the bathroom, enter a stall and started hyperventilating. Never had so many people stared at me since I moved to this school, I dialed my mom's phone number and tried to calm down in order to speak the dial tone rang. What in the world had just happened? Did I stop the water in mid air? "Hello?" She answered I sighed in relief "Hey mom, come get me." I say trying to act calm "Why?" she asked "Because i just froze water in the middle of the air with my hand! That's why!" "I'm coming." She said in a knowing voice that made me feel Comforted and Frightened at the same time. About ten minutes later I could hear them call me in the office. I slowly opened the stall. The lunch bell would ring any second and I didn't want to see anyone or try to explain something that I had no idea was physically possible. On my way to the office I walked with my head down in hopes that if someone who was there does see me they understand to leave me the hell alone!

Thud.

"Oh god" I thought outloud. "You okay?" They asked in an all too familiar voice. Sugar,Honey,Iced,Tea, I whisper to myself before taking in a large breath through my nose. God he smelled so good. "Yes, Thank you Porter" I say looking up meeting his eyes, then spreading a goofy grin on my face when he smirked at me. I forgot what had just happened for a split second, then remembering my smile faded and "I have to go," I said grimly  "Oh well then see you later then" He said nonchalantly while moving out of my path. I walked past the office and the secretary told me my mother was waiting outside in our car. I walked out of the windows and into the car. Slamming the door I looked at her with tears brimming my eyes.

"I might be able to explain this, Maze."

My eyes shot up at her, "What?"
