"Scar, wake up," I feel a soft nudge into my side.

"Mmhmm..." I mumble. I slowly open my eyes and I see the nerdiest boy ever with his arms wrapped around me, and I love it. "Hi, Caelum," I smile against his chest. We are in his bed. He must have carried me there after the movie.

"I'm glad you're finally awake. I've been waiting for you to wake up for about an hour and I just couldn't ake it, so I just woke you up..." Caelum confesses. I've never heard anythin so cute. With spencer I always knew he loved me, but was too scared to admit it. With Caelum I know I love him, but I have no idea if he loves me. Could you imagine? I finally fall in love, and he loves me back. It's so weird to think about this because when  I first met him I never wanted to have anything to do with him. It feels like there is something that draws me to him. I can't explain it, but I can't resist him.

We haven't shared that many kisses. Twice at school, once when we were out, and twice when we were at home. I want his lips on mine again, but I think it might be too soon. "Well...I'm awake now..." I drag on the 'o' and give him a devilissh smile. He sends one back.

"We need to get the day started, Scar..." He says disapointed. Suddenly I think of something. Well, not really think of, but remembered. I only have Caelum for another week. After the battle, Caelum and I won't have a reason to talk to each other anymore...so if he doesn't actually like me...my love will never talk to me ever again. That thought makes me insanely sad all of a sudden. Hopefully Caelum won't notice.

I stand up and I realize I'm holding Caelum's hand. I  smile and I look up and see Caelum blushing. I don't want this to end. I want to die with me in his arms and him telling me he loves me. I want to live a long and happy life with him and our kids. I want to be able to look back on all this in the future and laugh. I want him to love me as much as I love him.

I slowly take my hand away and go back to my room. I get changed into my normal clothes. Today I need to learn my scond power. I have no idea what's store for m- ...do I smell blueberry pancakes?

I run down the main stairway as fast as I can. Those pancakes need to b eaten! "Woah there, Scar. Calm down," Caelum chuckles. I blush a little at how childish that must have seemed. Oops.

"I'm sorry." I say in the most innocent voice I can manage. Then all of a sudden Caelum comes up to me and kisses me. In my ear he whispers "You're forgiven." 

*_*_*

"Caelum! Hurry up! We have to get to training! It's almost 10:45!" I think this is the only boy/girl situation where the girl is always waiting for the boy.

"I'm here, calm yourself!" He comes down the stairs in his training gear. Pretty much the only time where he looks athletic and hot. I mean, he's cute and handsome. Not hot. Not the kind of guy girls would fall for at first glance. That would be Spencer. Wait, why do I keep comparing him to Spencer? I need to cut that out... "Hey, Scar, do you want to go out tonight?" I smile and nod. That really all I can manage. You are probably there  saying "HE ASKED YOU ON A DATE AND YOU CAN'T EVEN SPEAK?!" Yeah, it's true, I can't speak sometimes. Especially when the guy I love asks me out on a date. You have no idea what is going on in my head. I don't eve know. It pretty much just a big jumble of words, thoughts, and pictures (mostly of Caelum).

"In the training rooms now, guys." Robert says right when we enter the building.

"Hello to you too." I mutter. I half wanted him to have heard and half wanted him to not have heard.

I enter the very familiar room. If you blindfold me and spin me in circles and let me touch the closest wall with the tip of my finger, I could probably tell you which wall I'm facing.

"Today we will review until your next power shows up. You have 30 seconds to demonstrate every stance, block, strike, kick, and punch I showed you yeasterday." 30 seconds?! "GO!"

Low block, 1 second. High block, 2 seconds. Switch stance, 3 seconds. Knife strike, 4 seconds. Tiger stance, 5 seconds.

Seconds. Seconds. Seconds. Mind racing. Brain shutting down. Muscles giving out. Releasing energy.

I think I found my second power.
