Two Magic Kids (Nerrison)

6.

Harrison walked out of the bathroom. He noticed Preston and Nerris looking around. "Uh, hey guys...." Harrison said, looking at the ground.

His two friends wrapped him in a hug. "We were worried about you! Last time you ran off....." Nerris said.

"I'm fine...I just needed to work some things out..." Harrison explained, not going into detail. The bell rang, and Preston split from the group, he had to go to a different class. Nerris and Harrison went to the same classes, so they walked together.

"I'm glad you're okay. I was worried sick." Nerris said. They walked into class. Peter sat where he did the day before. He looked scared as he saw Harrison.

Shadow piled thoughts into his head. The first part of the plan is to get the boy out of the room. After that you'll make sure you're alone with him. Then you'll strike. Make sure you do something that the cops can't detect. Frame someone if you have to.

Harrison shook off the thoughts, and sat down. Nerris sat in the desk next to him. "Thank you for joining us." Mrs.Blu said sarcastically. She began the lesson.

Everyone in the classroom was looking at Harrison. They whispered among themselves.

"What if he makes us disappear?"
"I don't think we can make fun of Nerris the Nerd anymore...."
"Yeah. That kid is really protective of her..."

Nerris heard what everyone was saying, and a light blush crept onto her cheeks. "Um, Harrison? Are you really okay? I just...want to make sure... Everyone's talking about you..." She said worriedly.

"Yes. I'm fine Nerris. And I can hear them. Just ignore them." Harrison responded. Mrs.Blu looked over the two.

"Listen. You can talk about your little relationship later. Unless it's something you want to share, keep quiet." The teacher said.

The other classmates laughed a little, before quickly stopping. Nerris blushed deeper, and Harrison blushed lightly. Mrs.Blu continued.

At the end of class, Shadow was telling the magic boy to go through with the plan. So Harrison caught Peter while he was at his locker.

"Hey, Peter. Sorry about the whole 'making you disappear' thing." He apologized. The bully flinched at Harrison's voice.

"I-it's fine...just please don't do it again..." Peter stuttered out. Harrison sighed and said, "Can I talk to you in private. It's really important."

"Yeah, sure...." The bully replied. Both of the boys walked into the janitors closet. Shadow laughed in Harrison's head, and once they were alone, made a shadow knife appear in his hands.

"I'm sorry, Peter. I really am....." The magic boy said, raising the blade above his victims head. "Wait, wha-" The bully was about to finish his sentence, then Harrison plunged the knife into Peter.

The boy collapsed onto the floor. Harrison began to silently cry. Shadow made the blade disappear, and magically cleaned off the magic boys clothes, which were splattered with blood.

Now get out before you get caught!

Harrison ran out of the closet, leaving Peter there. He ran to the bathroom, knowing his next class wasn't for a while. He went into a stall, and cried to himself.

Someone else walked into the bathroom. "Hello? Who's crying?" Is was Preston's voice. Harrison calmed himself down, stopped crying, and walked out to meet his friend.

"Harrison! Are you okay? Or was that just amazing acting?" Preston asked. Harrison nodded, his eyes red and puffy.

"Then why are you crying? Did something happen?" The theatrical kid placed a reassuring hand on his friends shoulder.

Don't tell him you idiot! Shadow screamed. Harrison held his head, wincing. Preston noticed this, and asked, "Does it have to do with Shadow.....?"

Remember our deal, boy! Harrison slowly nodded. No!! What are you doing you insolent fool?!

"Do you need to talk about it?" Preston asked. "N-no...I can't...." Harrison stuttered. Ugh, do I have to do everything myself?

Shadow took over Harrison, magically making sure his eyes were the same. "Look Preston. I'm fine. Nothing happened. I haven't even had to deal with Shadow since last night." His voice was deeper, and clearly not his own. But Preston didn't know that.

"Okay Harrison. I'll take your word for it." Preston said, "Come on class is about to start up again."

Shadow escaped back into Harrison's mind, and the boy returned to himself. The magic boy smiled, as he had to keep up the act.

Preston walked out of the bathroom, and Harrison followed him. Nerris was walking out of the cafeteria, she had a one friend that she played Dungeons and Dragons with. Although Harrison had never met them.

"Hey Nerris. Ready for our next class?" Harrison asked, walking over to her. She girl shrugged,"I guess."

Preston glances nervously at Harrison. The magic boy said it all in his eyes, Don't tell. "Well.... I'd better get going. I have theater next! And I WILL NOT miss my passion!" The theatrical boy said. Preston walked off in a hurry.

"Was there something wrong with him? He was more passionate than usual." Nerris asked with a laugh. Both if the kids laughed, as they left to class.

The rest of the day went by quickly, until someone found Peter.

"Oh my God!! Is that Peter?! Someone help!!!"

Harrison and Nerris were just chatting in the hallway before school let out. Both of them looked over to the janitors closet. A student, presumably Peter's girlfriend, was standing there.

This is when you'll see if you succeeded. Let's hope you did. Shadow said inside Harrison's mind. The boy glanced around nervously. "What are they talking about?" Nerris asked before speed walking to the closet, "Oh my God..... He was mean...but he didn't deserve this...."

Harrison quickly grabbed Nerris, and ran outside. He was breathing heavily. "Woah, hey. What was that about?" Nerris asked, pulling away her hand.

"I just....I'm not good when people pass. I can never go to funerals....." Harrison lies.

Good job. It'll be hard for her to catch your lie....

"I can see that. But why'd you bring me with you?" She asked, folding her arms across her chest.

Think of an excuse! Hurry up, or I'll take over myself!

" I....uh...wanted...uhh...to do this..." Harrison said, before pulling Nerris into a soft kiss. The girl was surprised, but did nothing about it. When he pulled away, both of them were blushing madly.

"Harrison...I....." Nerris started to say something, but her voice fell. "Nerris, I like you a lot....and I didn't want anyone making fun of us if they just say what happened......and I trust you enough to know you won't run away when I say this......." Harrison said.

Hah! So she really is your girlfriend! Shadow started, wait, what are you doing?!

"What are you saying, Harrison?" Nerris calmly asked.

"Nerris.....

I killed Peter."

(A/N: Woah!! Suspense filled chapter, huh? And did you like Harrison finally confessing? He definitely wasn't lying about that part! Hope you liked it!)
