Time Will Tell

Part 1

 They say it only takes a spark to ignite a flame but, what if there isn't one? How does the fire start? Well, I don't mean a literal fire. I'm referring to love but, does the saying even count for this? Or is it desire? What causes that flame to start? I like to think it's just luck or lust. But, maybe, just maybe, it's more than that. Maybe it's emotions that build between two people at one time. Maybe those emotions build up and just explode and then the fire begins. Or...you create the fire yourself from what is inside. That's what they claim of course when I burned out.

"Miss Steele, you do realize what you have done to my school?" Professor Otabek spoke to me in his soft voice as if not to let the special Akiza Deja, who was also in his office, hear.

His eyes stared me down as I never answered the man and I refused to. He didn't know why I made one tiny explosion in the courtyard.

I was defending myself just like anyone normally would and why should I let others bully me? I'm not going to stand around and be defenseless. I was taught to fight back by someone who cared for me, or so I thought.

I watched Akiza smirk as Otabek continued speaking to me. I knew there was not going to be any punishment involved due to the fact that I was the school's main, and only, outcast. I wasn't rich like the others. I didn't have an android for a sister. I didn't have anything special. I moved here because I was expelled from my last school for fighting but, that's what I get for being a runaway orphan.

Yeah. I know what you're thinking. How could a runaway not be found? Well, I was never in an orphanage. I ran away before anyone realized that my parents died in an exploding car wreck. No, it wasn't my fault. My family is in some quarrel with some other families but, they were the ones who suffered then and now I'm suffering. But, that's not the point. Point is, I can take care of myself. I didn't need school and I didn't need this lecture.

"Oi, Red! Ya listenin'?"

I jumped in my seat as I heard Akiza's fake southern twag grab my attention. I scowled.

That girl has been at me for quite sometime since she has realized I had a thick southern drawl. But, I got that because of where I was born. But, it's because of her I don't talk much anymore.

The headmaster pinched the bridge of my nose and swatted his hand, telling me it was safe to leave. What did I tell you? No punishment.

As I left the office, my good friend Kamine standing outside with her pink hair blowing in the wind.

I couldn't help but giggle. That girl has been through hell and back with me as well as her "sister", Ryo. Those two could never be separated even though Ryo is adopted. They both learn to love each others flaws and love their parents. I can't too much about them. I mean, I've only been to their house once or twice. Kamine just gets me out of trouble like fights or something of the sort. My favorite one was when boys here were sexually harassing me and they brought a boy that I adored for his spirit to come help. Apparently, that boy was "the gayest boy in school" but turned out he was just pansexual and only acted really gay and happy so people would leave him alone.

I haven't talked to him much after that but, he seemed like a great guy.

I headed outside and slapped Kamine hard on the back, her red bag falling off her shoulder.

"What was that for, hick?"

I just looked at her and smiled as she giggled. That girl could call me names all she wanted and it would never faze me.

I saw her sister coming bouncing up and smiled bigger. These two girls were special on their own. They were born with unnatural hair colors. Makes me jealous. But, after all that happened, all I want to do is sleep.
