Their Elemental Curse: Book 1

Chapter 3

*Gaia King's POV:

(Her name is pronounced: Guy-ya)

He looked so lonely over there, plus he looked like he wanted to come over here and talk to us. But what amazed me about him was his striking blue eyes. They were so pretty.

Is this the boy that Robin was talking about?

The one from the other day?

She said that there was a possibility that we weren't the only "experi- babies" (as I like to call people who were experimented on when they were babies or young children) in school.

After all, there were probably a lot in San Francisco, but we just didn't know about them. There was a possibility that the boy could be the one we were looking for:

The one who could control water.

Me, Robin and Beval made up three of the four elements, but we were still missing one and that was water and I honestly hoped that this boy was it. My gut was telling me that it might be it.

I mean, I could tell by his eye color. Me and my friends all had unnatural eye colors because of our powers. All of the colors fit their element, so maybe we just found another experi-baby just like us.

The East Asian boy took a while to respond to my invitation.

"Uhhh, sure," he said as he scratched his head.

He slowly got up from his seat and sat over near us, right next to Robin.

"So what is your name?," Beval asked with a smile, revealing his silver braces.

The boy stuttered a little. He didn't look us in the eyes at all.

"Ummm, I-I am Shimizu Hada, and you?"

"My name is Beval Garcia-Hernandez, but I go by Beval Hernandez."

"Well, it's nice to meet you Beval" Shimizu smiled as he looked up at him for the first time.

I decided this was my chance to make a good first impression.

"And my name is Gaia King" I spoke up with such confidence, it would've seemed as though I was Beyoncé.

"Gaia? That's a really pretty name" he smiled.

"Aww thank you, you're too kind. It means "Earth" in Greek."

Shimizu looked at Robin.

Robin was drawing something on her binder, pretending to ignore the conversation that was going on between the us.

"And your name?," Shimizu asked as he stared at Robin.

Robin placed her marker down and looked at him.

"Robin, Robin Douglas" she quietly said before continuing to doodle on her binder.

"Her real name is Celo-"

Before I could finish, Robin stepped on my foot and gave me an evil look. I whimpered in pain.

"You better not" Robin quietly scowled.

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.

Robin's first name was Celosia, but she didn't like it when people called her by her first name.

I so happened to think that her first name was beautiful, but she herself thought it was ugly.

"What was that?" Shimizu asked.

"Nothing, nothing important" Robin said with a fake smile before giving me another evil eye.

"But anyways, it is really nice to meet you Shimizu. Are you from here?" I asked with a sweet voice, trying to forget about what just happened.
