"The time is now to put my plan in motion" I thought to myself as I stared at each water droplet hit the classroom window.

I decided I would go back to the spot I got my power today and see if the glowing would happen again. I have tried this every day since the incident and each time it ended with no avail.

"Today's the day" I mumbled as the bell rang. I walked through the halls to my next class which was undoubtedly my favorite.

Was I really interested in art? No.

This was the only class I had with Alice. I have no idea when I started to be fascinated with her. It was just one of those things. It was the cheesy "dude watched girl from afar and she never notices" situation.

I didn't mind though. I liked being able to admire her. It made me feel almost close to her in a way no one else around her was. I felt this way because I feel like I have noticed things others probably didn't.

One of these things is that she most likely hates the color red. She's never said this, but she has never worn it. Ever. She also had never used it in one of her artworks which are usually very colorful. Anything she owns, as far as I can see, lacks red.

Maybe I'm insane for caring about something like this, but to me it's the mystery of her that keeps me liking her.

As I sat down and set up my things to begin working the teacher began roll call.
As she went through names and a chorus of here's shouted back at her it soon went quiet

"Mika?" She repeated. Everyone looked around and laughed. Mika was one of those kids we all wonder how he passes every year and only comes in when he absolutely has to.

The teacher finally gave up asking a moved on and I began my project subtracting myself mentally from the class.

Sadly, just like every day art came to an end and I was on my way out of the school and out to my car.

Once I sat inside I waited for Ally to finally get here. This usually took her awhile as she felt it was needed to say goodbye to all of her friends.

She was only a a year younger than me and somehow we were on completely different side of the spectrum. She was bubbly and extroverted while I was more in my head and stubborn.

Let's just say this leads us into arguing constantly

Finally she arrived and jumped into the car.

"Hey Jojo" she said happily putting on her seatbelt.

"Please, I told you not to call me that. Especially in public." I mumbled as I began to drive.

"Oh c'mon no ones around. Plus who cares, it's just a nickname." She laughed.

"A damn annoying one." I rolled my eyes. She wasn't listening anymore. Out of the corner of my eye I could see she was texting rapidly.

"Your fingers are gonna fall off one day." I smirked.

She made a face and put down her phone.

"I guess I should tell you I'm having a party tonight because mom and dad are gone." She said proudly.

"If you get caught do not put it on me. I'll say I was over a friends house." I said raising my eyebrows
