The Stars Say All

Chapter 2

Kristen Stewart as Jessica Mitchell

"So," I started off. "What other powers do you have?" I asked. he put on a thinking face and while he was thinking I had the chance to actually look at his hair. I didn't really look at his hair. It looked like a midnight black but it also looked so soft and smooth. It was short but it was in those boy swoops that girls fall in love with.

"Well, I have telekinesis, super strength, super speed, and my personal favorite, which my mother says all the time, never ending beauty." He said, finishing off with a smile. I even started smiling myself.

"I have been thinking, what name should we give you?" I asked. He shrugged his shoulders. "hmmm. ok! I got it! you think of a first name and I think of a last name. ok?" I asked, nicely. he nodded his head as he showed off his pearly whites again. "ok. so we each say a name that would fit for you. you go first since you have the first name. ok. 1....2....3... GO!"

"Poppy."

"Gold."

We both looked at each other without smiling but we both knew it was going to come out soon. suddenly, we burst out into laughter and we couldn't stop until at least 10 minutes later. "Ok, your name is not going to be Poppy Gold." I giggled. He chuckled at how it sounded together. "Ok. Why not we call you Vincent for now? No last name." He looked like he was thinking again. He nodded his head like he liked the idea.

I was going to get up to leave but he pulled my arm back onto the bed.

"What is your name?" He asked shyly.

I smiled. "My name is Jessica. Jessica Mitchell." I said back to him. He let me go and so I got off of the bed and then he opened his mouth again. "Where are you going?" He asked. "Just going to take a shower." I answer, a little annoyed. "Oh. Umm. What is a shower?" He asked, curiously.

Is he serious? How can he smell so good yet he has never heard of a shower before?

"Well, its something you do to stay clean. you use water and you use soap for your hair and your..... body. but you cant get the soap in your eyes or else it will hurt pretty badly. and you also use a shower for sore muscles and for tension and just to relax or just because you want to." I finished.

He looked a little confused but he still nodded. Then he said one thing that made me blush for hours.

"Can I come, too?"

I was a stuttering mess. "U-umm..... n-no. I mean, like, you can, but, um, it would be very awkward."

"I think I take showers. they take my clothes and then spray me with chemicals." he said. I sat back down on my bed. "Who is "they", Vincent?" I asked. he was thinking again. "My family. which consists of over a hundred people. All alive. We give each other "showers", I think." he said.

I just kept staring at him. "Did I say something wrong?" he asked with a worried look on his face. "No. Just..... where did you come from, Vincent?"

The one question I was dying to ask and now he is going to answer. I cant wait.

me neither. sorry that this is so short. I want to have a cliffhanger. so here it is. see you later.
