Destined

Chapter 12

I felt jealous for the second time that week. Seeing Tamara and Josh flirting together in the canteen made me feel this way. For the second time that week also, Josh sat with the glitz girls and the jocks in the other said of the canteen. Every once in a while, Tamara would turn around and give a smirk and a victorious grin. Oh how much I wanted to wipe that smirk off her face and when she saw Wendy, Mark (who were acting weird around each other but won't tell me what the problem is) and I giving their table our full attention, she gave Josh a kiss on the cheeks and he didn't make any attempt to pull away. I was furious and raging red, before I knew it, I felt my "powers" surge through me and I (for whatever reason unknown to me) blew a massive wind -with my mind from the opened window and the force of the wind caused Tamara to be knocked out of her chair and the boy going to drop his rubbish in the bin, tripped over her legs and threw the remaining of his tomato soup on her.

Everyone roared with laugher, Wendy and a few other people were taking pictures but I froze. I just did that and the look on Josh's face told me he knew I did it. I grapped my things from the chair and walked away, quickly out of the canteen, with josh right on my heel.

"How did you.. why did you do that?" he asked. He was starting to get on my last nerve, it was because of my anger towards his and Tamara's "public display of affection" that made all this happen and he dare stand there acting like he has no idea why it happened. I was enraged and if I didn't calm down, I knew I would start displaying other attributes of my powers and I did not want that.

"Leave me alone" I yelled.

"But I have to protect.."

"Protect me from afar, I can now see that this is just a mere duty for you" I walked off and as I guessed he didn't follow me.

Through the last few lessons of school, Wendy passed me notes, asking what was going on between Josh and I, she wrote that she thought we were getting closer. So did I, I thought, so did I. She was pushing for an official answer, but I didn't give to her, because even I didn't know what went wrong. The thought of them two together made my blood boil. I knew I had to keep my anger in check because I didn't want a reapeat of what happened in the canteen.

"It's more than just a duty" Josh said to me as I was walking to the shops after school to get groceries.

"It doesn't feel that way" I whispered

"I'm very sorry if I make you feel that way. It's just.. it's complicated, we can't be together the way you want us to. That is why I have to distance myself from you because I cannot act on the feelings I have for you" He confessed.

"Josh, just leave me alone because I'm really tired of the way you toy with my emotions, it is like you do not care" I really was tired and didn't want to hear about the whole "we can't be together" speech. "It's really good to see how you would crawl to her because "we can't be together", shows me who you really are. And that person is selfish and I can't even look you in the face and not get irritated" I left him there on the street and felt really proud of myself for telling him how he made me feel right now. It felt like a huge weight as been lifted off my shoulders and I felt I could take on anything.

But not what was about to happen next.......
