Unexpected Journey

Should they tell...

Sometime later at school; Genna, Isaiah, and Marla were waiting for the others and their powerless friends: Andrea, Ethan, and Erin. They were never that keen with giving up their personal lives for something they didn’t really have a choice in. So they still went to high school as freshmen.

While their friends without powers weren't there Marla decided to spark some conversation about the new abilities they had and other things. She wanted to convince  at least one person that she wasn’t totally insane that day.

“So, about what happened a few days ago…”, Marla said, but was interrupted by Genna.

“Marla it’s okay nobody really blames you”, Genna gave a reassuring smile, “we should probably try not using our powers on each other”

“Yeah at least until we have better control over them.” Isaiah stepped up.

Marla sighed, “Okay I guess, but that isn’t the part I was focusing on.”

Isaiah threw a blank stare at Marla, “Let's just all agree that the little panther incident is just a power serge?”

“Look guys I’m not a machine! I don't get power surges!”

“Well do you know everything about our powers?” Only Genna said a word, but both her and Isaiah were shooting sly looks at Marla.

Marla slumped down on the bench, not being able to combat their perfect reasoning. She let out a sigh and muttered to herself “I swear it was real”, knowing very well that she couldn’t prove that statement.

It was quiet until an upper classman walked over. “Hey, freshmen mind if I sit here?”, he didn't even wait till someone answered to sit.

Everyone stared not saying a word. Finally the others walked over as a group and sat down. They all noticed the new guy sitting there.

“Wow that was fast!”, Ethan blurted out.

Isaiah turned to Ethan and said “What was fast?”

They looked around to see if they knew what Ethan meant but there was no answer in there eyes.

But as if he knew what they were talking about the upperclassmen spoke, “Oh if you're talking about me than I just came to make some new friends,” he had a genuine smile on his face as he introduced himself, “I’m Vlad”

The group smiled and waved, happy to welcome another person into their small little group. They all sat down happily talking. The elementals were all trying to contribute to the conversation but all were thinking of their new found powers and if they should tell.

They kept quiet about it but after school they couldn't help but text each other.

Text group chat-

Genna: Hey so i guess we could find some common ground between the people in this chat. Righ?

Isaiah: Yeah we all have powers.

Hannah: Y did u start the chat?

Genna: I think we should tell the others about this.

Marla: Would that not put them in danger?

Autumn: danger of what?

That  was a good night indeed they all went into a deep sleep thinking and dreaming of the day that they would tell their friends and wouldn't have to keep it a secret from them.
