Not Her Mission

Phase 19

The next day in my last class of the day I watched the clock.

I had become tired of watching a clock tick so slow. I made a small sentient plant smaller than my finger.

All through class I played with her. I even named her Tillie. I grew attached to her and decided to keep her as a pocket friend. Once the bell rang I jumped out of my seat and rushed down the hallway to my science class. I waited by the door and texted Louis.

Hey! I have to stop by my science class. I should be out in a few minutes.

I slipped my phone into my pocket and looked around. No one else was looking in my direction. I went into the classroom and made my way to Peter and I's plant.

He was even browner that yesterday.

"What is happening, little guy?" I whispered, "You shouldn't be dying with my powers coursing through you."

I waved my hand over the top of him. He immediately returned to his healthy color and height.

"That's better" I said.

I glanced over my shoulder once more then left for the parking lot. As soon as I exited through the big double doors, December's cold winter air slapped me.

Louis's black car was parked by a tree. Louis sat in the driver's seat and once he noticed me, he honked the car horn and waved.

I waved back and hopped into the passenger seat. It was warm in his car.

I shivered.

"Cold?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yeah. I forgot my coat at home this morning."

Once we arrived at Louis's house he parked his car in the driveway.

He turned to me and asked, "You brought the movies right?"

I patted my book bag. "A huge selection of 5 movies."

He chuckled and led me inside.

After a small tour of his house we ended in the living room.

"I'll go grab the snacks if you decide which movie we're watching."

Louis left the room and a few minutes later, he came back with a large bowl of popcorn and two glasses of water.

He set the items down on the coffee table and clapped his hands together.

"Alright, what are we watching?" He asked.

"Well I thought we could watch some Disney movies starting with The Little Mermaid." I said.

Louis smiled, "That sounds perfect"

We watched two of the movies before we decided to take a break for a bit.

"Let's play a game." Louis said.

"I love games. What are we playing?"

"I say something about myself and then you have to guess of it's a lie or not. The first person to guess 10 right wins."

"That sounds fun. You go first." I said.

"Okay. I have two older sisters."

"False. You only have one sibling and he's your older brother." I replied.

"Bonus points if you know his name." Louis responded.

"Uhhh... it starts with an A I think... Aaron?" I guessed.

"Close... Alex."

"Well I should still get points for the first letter!" I protested.

"How about a kiss, instead?" Louis leaned over and kissed me.

After a moment I pushed him away.

"My turn," I smiled. "My favorite color is (f/c)"

"True."

"Correct"

We went back and forth for hours. We completely forgot about the movies and our scores until Louis glanced out a window.

"Oh wow. It's dark outside. What time is it?" He asked.

I looked at the time on my phone.

"9:15"

"That late really? Huh... I guess I should take you home then."

"We could stay for a little longer. Maybe long enough for another movie?" I suggested.

Louis agreed and we started to watch The Princess and The Frog.

Louis and I cuddled on the couch and both of us fell asleep.

The next morning we woke up still on the couch.

Louis had a spare toothbrush I could use.

He gave me one of his shirts to wear.

"I want this back. It's my favorite shirt." He said.

Louis also gave me his mom's solid black skirt. It was big but nothing a few safety pins couldn't fix. I loosely tucked his shirt into the skirt that fell just short of my knees.

I walked out of the bathroom.

"Damn..." Louis's eyes were wide, "You-you can keep the shirt... you look so pretty in it."

I smiled and blushed.

"Thanks but it's your favorite shirt... I couldn't keep it."

"No no... please keep it. I love it on you."

"Awwwe" I kissed Louis.

He drove us to school and we parted ways to go to our separate classes.
