Corbyn's POV


Right now, Zach's passed out in the driver seat and I'm not going to wake him up, so I carefully carry him and place him in the back seat. Jack's not going to get away with hurting him. I have a plan. The pieces start falling together as Jonah comes out with a very drunk Daniel and I put a finger to my lips and point at the sleeping Zach and Jonah nods. Daniel just giggles as Jonah opens the door.

"On a scale of one to ten, how drunk is he?" I wait for Jonah's answer.

"10... million. He tried to do it with me." Jonah says while blushing and rolling his eyes and placing Daniel in the front seat.

"Anyways, what's up with Zach?" Jonah looks at Zach.

"Jack followed Zach outside somehow, got Zach to start naming the constellations and kissed him. Thing is, Gabbie was watching all along and let Zach know it was a dare." Jonah looks offended, then angry, and I brace myself. But his anger never comes. Instead, he just sighs and looks at his hands.

"I wish I could heal more than physical damage." As soon as he says that, a lightbulb goes off in my head.

"Hey, some super powerful healers can heal brain damage and cancer. Maybe you're one of them. Have you tried healing your mom of her breast cancer?" Jonah shakes his head, and a hopeful expression comes over his face.

"Wow. I guess I never really thought of that," Jonah sighs and runs a hand through his hair. "But how are we gonna make sure Zach doesn't get hurt again?"

"I have a plan. Oh, and guess what? I'm actually maybe kind of powerful. Like, maybe if I touched you I could turn you into a statue? But only if I wanted to. And apparently, my ice is unmeltable, but only if i concentrate. So yeah." Jonah grins because he's think he's got the plan. But there's one more component.

Next day


"Zach, I have a favor to ask of you, and please don't be weirded out." I ask. Were standing outside of Jonah's place, waiting for him to come outside.

"Of course Corbs, anything." I smile.

"So, there's this girl Christina in my science class, and I really like her..." Zach grins from ear to ear.

"And she knows I'm bi, so could you pretend to be my boyfriend??" Zach laughs at the request and nods.

"Of course! Promise I won't catch feelings." Zach jokes and then Jonah comes out of his house, looking tired but extremely happy.

"Corbyn I did it!" I hug him while Zach stares at us confused.

"I'll tell you later Zach, I promise." Jonah says, still smiling. In the blink of an eye, we're at school and Daniel joins us.

"How drunk was I last night?I have a killer headache." Daniel's massaging his head and Jonah places a hand on his forehead.

"Drunk to the point where you tried to do it with Jonah." I say, and we all burst into laughter. Suddenly, loud laughing comes from across the courtyard.

It's him.

Jonah nods a bit and Zach shrinks into himself as the jock group faces us.

The leader? No other than Jack douchebag Avery.

"How's the fag doing?" Brad, the school's wide receiver and Jack's right hand man shoves Zach who falls to the ground. I help him back up and give him a kiss on the cheek. Jack's eyes flash murderously.

"Oh, so it's the two nerds dating now? Great." The group laughs and I can feel myself getting angrier.

Zach's POV

"Get lost, Jack." Corbyn's trembling with fury.

"What are you gonna do? Throw a snowball at me?" Jack laughs and Corbyn snaps.

The ground turns to ice and Jack tries to melt it with his light but fails. I gasp. Corbyn's ice is unmeltable, something that only the most powerful Frosts have.

Corbyn's usually blue eyes are like ice chips now, cold and unforgiving as he shoots an icicle that comes to rest above Jack's right eye.

"I won't hesitate to drive this thing through your eye, and when that happens, bye bye football scholarship." Corbyn smirks, and I allow myself a small smile once I see the jocks cowering. One of them tries to send fire to. let the ice and Corbyn sends and icicle his way, which comes to rest above the jocks' throat.

"Tut tut. You should know better than that." Corbyn's voice is starting to change. it's getting deeper, and - oh no. Unmeltables have another side, like an alter ego. Corbyn's is showing. And nothing can stop Corbyn now.....

"Corbyn, stop!" Christina hurries across the school courtyard and the ice melts wherever she steps. Now I'm just confused. Either Corbyn's not an Unmeltable, or Christina is super powerful.

"This isn't you." Christina's slightly breathless and everyone just stares.

"Of course this is me. What are you talking about?" Corbyn laughs coldly, his voice still deep and his skin super pale. Christina sighs, and sends a tendril of fire at Corbyn's heart while i stand there with my mouth wide open. Slowly, the ice in the courtyard melts and so do the icicles. He jocks run away and Corbyn slumps in a heap on the ground and we rush over to see what's wrong.

"Guess all my research paid off." Christina bends over Corbyn's body and gestures for Jonah to follow her. I'm still standing there with my mouth wide open.

"You did research?" What was there even to research about??" I'm so confused.

"Corbyn's eyes are unnaturally blue, so that's a sign he's an Unmeltable, and since I learned about their alter egos and stuff, I did some research on how to reverse it. It's kinda simple actually." Christina's eyes twinkle a bit, and I can immediately see why Corbyn likes her so much.

"Is he o-" Jonah jumps back as Corbyn shoots straight up and rubs his eyes and looks around like he has no idea why he's here.

"What happened?" 


Oof. Okay, there's no excuse for not posting for real long, and I've kinda lost my inspiration, but I'm gonna keep up with this 'cause I don't give up on something once I've started it.

But yeah, hope you guys liked it! :)


P.S. I'm kinda vibin' with PRETTYMUCH now.
