"So what do we do now?" I wasn't sure if he would have an answer to this but I had to fill the silence.

"We're gonna find them." He stood up and then reached out his hand so that I could grab it and get up. "Let's try to remember where the files were so that next time we don't have to look."

I did as he said and made sure to look around to see what cabinet it came from. I took his hand and teleported us outside. We began walking around and I noticed we were still dressed for the dance. Even though we were worried about what might be going on with our parents, you could tell we were happier with the though that they could be alive. "Hah. I can't believe we kept these on while we were in there."

"Hey! I think I look pretty good, and if I may say so, my partner in crime does too." He laughed a little and winked at me which made me laugh too.

"Oh you may say so, Mr.Wells." We were about to pass where the dance was being held. "Are we going back in, it's only been like a half hour or so?"

"Sure, but don't you think your bleeding hand will attract some questions?"

"Who cares! We're gonna save them! Things are finally going our way!"

Just like me he couldn't hold it in anymore. He wrapped his arms around me and spun me around. "Finally."

"Go hang out with your friends. You should celebrate with them even though they don't know what it's for. You've only known me like two weeks..."

"Oh, I'm definitely gonna go celebrate but don't wander off because you're meeting them tonight." He winked at me and then went in.

I walked in a searched around for my friends. I spotted Dotty but before I could walk up to her Parker walked straight in front of me. "Look, I'm sorry. What I did was stupid and I didn't mean to be a jerk."

"It only took you two weeks to come and talk to me." I started to walk away but he grabbed my arm to get a hold of me.

"Hey, what happened to your hand?"

"Nothing, look Parker, I forgive you, are we done here?"

"No, you're hurt, who did this?"

"I did. It was an accident. I got mad and punched a wall. Are you happy?"

It was weird because when I looked at him he actually looked concerned. He searched the room and then pulled me over to where his eyes last set on. We ended up next to Scott. "You explain." Was all he said and then he left me there with Scott.

"Woah," Scott took my hand and sat me down at one of the tables. "What happened? And you are telling me, no excuses or I won't heal you."

"I can't really tell you, but I was with Matt, I found out something and got really mad. I ended up punching a wall. And before you say anything I know that it was extremely stupid."

"You shouldn't hang out around Matt anymore."

"What?"

"I really like you, and I can't keep watching you get hurt with this Matt kid."

"Wait? You? Like me?" I noticed that today he wasn't wearing his glasses. I always thought he was cute but I never said anything because of my no guy's rule.

"Yeah. I over heard you saying you don't like relationships so I never said anything. But I really like you." He put his hand over mine and healed it.

Little did he know I didn't like relationships partly because I needed to stay focused. But I couldn't tell him why I was with Matt and why I got hurt. "Look I really like you but I'd just end up messing things up."

"We can take it slow. Please? I can't watch you hang out with Henderson, Matt, or any other guy knowing that they could take you away any time."

"Slow?"

"Slow."

"I can do slow." I smiled at him and he kissed me. Right then was when Matt showed up.

He did a little cough and said, "Can I borrow her for a little?"

"Yeah, you can borrow my girl. But don't let her get hurt again." Scott said a little too stern.

We started to walk away and Matt said "Um, what was that?"

"He asked me out and said we'd take it slow. So I said yes?"

"Reagan I have telepathy remember."

"Okay! It was either say yes or tell him why I hurt myself and why I'm always with you. That would totally mess up our plans and we're finally getting somewhere. Plus I do kinda like him a little." I said the last part really fast.

"You could've just said no!"

"Why are you so mad? Now he's going to have to trust me right?"

"I don't know. You know what forget it. Go back to Scott you don't even have to meet my friends."

I tugged at his arm and said "No, come on, Matt. I'm sorry. I just didn't want our plans to be ruined. I'll end it first thing in the morning."

"Okay." At that moment my telepathy kicked in and I felt another emotion other than relief. Jealousy. But why would Matt be jealous?

*****

"Scott I'm sorry I said yes."

"Sorry? Why are you sorry?" He sat next to me on my bed back at my dorm. The next morning I managed to freeze time and teleport us to my dorm so that I could set things straight.

"I can't date you. I'm...just not ready."

"Are you sure?" He looked so deflated. Like yesterday he was at the top of the world and today he was in the basement.

"I'm so sorry. Really, I should've just told you no in the first place."

"It's okay. I sort of rushed you into it." Doing this felt horrible.

"Do you hate me?"

He gave me a kiss on the cheek and said, "I'm just going to hang through and wait for you."

Oh no. "Why do you want to wait for me? I'm just me."

"Exactly." He gave me a cue and I unfroze time and sent him back on his way to class.
