Halo Squad

Chapter 24

The two of them made their way upstairs into Dominic's room, and sat on his bed. "I bet you're real happy about Sophie becoming an angel, aren't you" Dominic said to Ade, who replied "Uh I guess I am. She's pretty cool, and it'd be a shame to leave her here on earth" "Is that the only reason?" "Uh, I don't know what you're talking about" "Ads, stop. I know about your little kisses" "You do? How?" "I just do. We're like mind connected or some ish. Like twin ESP or something" "Firstly, it was only one kiss. Secondly, how would that even work? There's no scientific evidence for twin connection, and we're not even twins" "No, but we're clones. That makes us even more connected than twins. Also I could tell you guys were about to kiss earlier, when I interrupted" "Ugh. So I can't keep any secrets from you then?" "I guess not. Wait, lemme try something". Dominic closed his eyes, put two fingers onto each temple, and concentrated. In his mind, he started repeatedly shouting, PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! until Ade suddenly exclaimed "Pizza! What? Why did I just- Pizza! What the fu- Pizza! What the hell?!". "It worked!" Dominic opened his eyes and grinned, "What worked? What did you do?" Ade was confused. "Wait, did you actually just- No way" "Yes, I did" "Dude, we're telepathic!" "Dude that's bloody sick" "From now on only talk telepathically" "Wait, we need to make sure we know who's talking, cos our voices are like the same" "Dom, you talk in grey italics and I'll talk in black bold. All telepathic conversations will happen in all caps".

OKAY DUDE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE DOING THIS!

THIS IS SO SICK.

I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO USE THIS TO PRANK THE OTHERS.

OH MY GOSH YES!

LET'S GET DRESSED REAL QUICK NOW.

YEAH SURE.

Half an hour later, all five of them were dressed and had their bags packed. They decided to leave the house at 8am, so had 15 minutes to kill. Ade decided to test out the extents of his telepathic connection, and so figured he would prank Dominic. Ade closed his eyes, cleared his mind, then focused purely on his connection to Dominic's. While concentrating intensely, he slowly took control of and raised Dominic's leg. Dominic, reading a book, did not notice. Ade continued to concentrate, and then kicked Baby, who was chatting to the other girls, in the shin with Dominic's leg. Dominic immediately looked up from his booked, with a befuddled expression on his face. Baby, however, looked at Dominic with a very different expression. "Ow! What the hell Dom?!" she yelled, with an angry look on her face. She then kicked Dominic in the shin with twice as much power and punched his left arm, which he immediately grasped with his right hand in pain. "What the hell? I didn't do that! It was my foot, but like, I didn't make that happen. Is someone else controlling my leg, this makes no-" Dominic stopped his words as he saw Ade laughing uncontrollably, and immediately put the pieces together.

ADS? HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?

I GUESS I'M JUST BETTER THAN YOU.

BABY LITERALLY WANTS TO KILL ME RIGHT NOW, YOU BETTER FIX THIS.

OKAY, I WILL, DON'T WORRY.

"Baby, Dominic didn't kick you" "What do you mean? Yes he did!" "No, it was me" "That's not possible, you can't even reach me from where you are" "Haha, um, we have something to tell you". Ade and Dominic proceeded to explain to their friends about their recently discovered telepathic abilities, what they called their 'Twintuition 2.0'. "A few days ago I would've called you delusional, but that's in no way the weirdest thing to happen since y'all arrived" commented Sophie, which Ade and Emilia both met with a laugh. "Is everyone ready to go?" asked Dominic, and everyone nodded. The 5 of them then walked to school, and spent the time they had before their first class chatting in the school's front courtyard. There was no sign of Connor or his goons anywhere. After a few minutes of chatting the school bell rang and they made their way to Biology class. Dominic managed to stay awake, but was thoroughly bored. That was, until something piqued his interest. Not anything from within the lesson itself, but from outside of it. Outside the classroom window, to be exact. He was staring out of the window, when suddenly a bird bumped into it. At first, Dominic laughed, but then he realised that it was a dove. "Faye" he whispered to himself.
