Death's Double Trio

Chapter 18

~Lunch time~
Kara’s Perspective

        “Is it just me or do those two seem closer than usual?” I ask Coleen.
        “I know! She didn't even warm up to you this easily.”
        “Hey KK? C and I made a little deal a while back. I would tell her my secret in return for her secret. She came up with the deal and I agreed on one condition. That you would tell us your secret too. So what do you say? Wanna make a deal?” I think for a moment.
        “Ok. I agree, but I have my own condition. If Tim is going to sit here and listen to them, then he has to cough up a secret too.” We all look at Masky. He sits there staring back at each of us until he gets to Blue. He sighs.
        “Can Sapphire’s count as mine too? Technically, hers is about me.” I think for a second.
        “Is it embarrassing?” I ask.
        “You wanted to know about that girl I told you about right?” I nod. He points at Sapphire. I laugh.
        “Seriously? She's the one that pulled some crap on you that you wouldn't tell me about?” He grimaces and looks away in answer. I laugh again.
        “Okay okay, I'll count it. Let's do this. Who's first?” They all look at me.
        “Fine. What do you want to know?”
        “Who's your crush?” Blue asks.
        “Right to the point, like always. Fine. My crush has a thing against clocks.”
        “Seriously? I thought it would be the other one.” Masky says.
        “Yes, seriously. My crush is Clockwork.”
        “Wow.” The other two say.
        “Your turn C.” Blue says.
        “Can I go last? Mine will just make you sad.”
        “Fine. I guess it's our turn then. When we were in the journalism room, I gave him a boner to get his cameras.” Coleen and I gawk at the two, Masky laying his head on the table and Blue looking away from him.
        “How in the cherry pie did that happen?!” Blue lays her head down on the table.
        “Your turn Tim.”
        “No way! Not happening! I didn't even want to say the easy part, why would I want to say this part?” He says without lifting his head.
        “Please Timothy?” He stays silent for a couple seconds.
        “I hate you so much right now.”
        “Love you too Masky.” He lifts his head and crosses his arms.
        “She sat on my lap, moved her hands down my back, asked if I was right or left handed, then moved one hand back to my shoulder and the other further downward to take the camera out of my back pocket. And let me tell you, it didn't help that I was tied to a chair.” He put his head back down on the table.
        “So embarrassing!” Both of their voices muffled by the table. C and I both start laughing like crazy. She crumples forward and I fall onto the floor. We finish laughing, I get back in my seat and C uncrumples herself.
        “Guess it's my turn. Blue? Remember when mom and dad…you know? Well, the reason I gave up so easily is because-“
        “I know. I…I used a spell to look through your memories a month later. Your nightmares were so bad and I didn't know how to help because you wouldn’t tell me what they were about. So I looked and found out why you didn't want to tell me. I'm proud of you, for letting me figure it out on my own. Thanks.” C nods and the bell rings.
        “Well! Sorry to interrupt but, we've got a class to attend.” I state and the others nod, all four of us heading to our next class.
