The Great Seliki | Pals Powers

Chapter 1.2

What happened last time?

I put my diary under my pillow and slowly fell asleep wanting to sink in and not ever come back up from the softness of the blankets and comfort of knowing that I would never forget them.

Alex POV

I wake up to the sound of the alarm clock. I look over and see that it was 6:45, time for school. I get up and out of bed remembering that both of them were dead. I walk over to closet and get my clothes. Next I go to the bathroom to take a shower and clean up. After that I get dressed and go eat. I make sure I have my backpack ready and head out the door at 7:20, the bus would come at 7:21.

The bus comes and picks me up. I walk to the back and sit by the window. From experience I know that in the back of the bus is where no one will bother you. I grab my phone and call my Aunt Kelisa to stay with me. I look around to make sure nobody is looking and take out the artifact. Strange. I examined the object as though it could brake at the slightest movement.

"What's dat?" A boy behind me asks. I jump at the sudden noise and clumsily drop the artifact. Luckily the boy catches it and hands it back. "Sorry I scared you," He says looking at the artifact in my hand. "My name is Elijah but my friends call me Sketch and my brother, Ethan, calls me-"
(Who want to guess what he was going to say? Leave your answer(s) in the comments!)
I cut him off and say "It's okay and this is just a... family thing," I can feel the tears coming when I say family. "Are you okay?" A boy almost identical asks. I look at the two. "Are you guys clones?" I ask fighting back the tears.

They look at each other and laugh. "No we're twins!" They say in unison and continue laughing. I laugh with them realizing that the other one is Ethan and turn back to the artifact. They turn back too and forget I cried a little bit.

"So," Ethan (or is it Elijah?) says, "will you tell us what it is?" I down at my feet and remember what my mother had said about who I trust and what I do with the artifact. I decide to tell them about the artifact and where it came from, but not about how my parents died.

"Oh so that's why it's a family thing, you don't want anybody to take it?" Elijah (or was it Ethan?) asks."Yeah," I answer. I hold the artifact tighter and closer to me. "Well," Ethan (or is that Elijah?) says," could we touch it, I mean we are friends right?" I think about this question in my mind for a good 2 minutes. "Well?" Elijah (or is it Ethan?) asks a hint of being annoyed catching my ears. I nod my head to scared for him to hurt me if I accidentally say something stupid.

I hand to them. "Please try not to brake it." I ask them gently. "Why not-?" Ethan (or is it Elijah?) asks. "Looks like something is inside of it." The other twin finishes the sentence. I try to grab it back before they can do anything with it, but one of them hold it above my head.

I get so angry that I don't realize the artifact glowing a slight purple. Suddenly Elijah (or is it Ethan?) stops and gives it to me. I glare at them angrily, surprised that they sat back in their seat. I put the artifact in my bag and move to the front of the bus. "What happened back there?" He asked. I looked at him confused, then looked at the rest of the bus. Everyone was looking at either me or the twins.

I turn back in my seat and answer "I don't know, but they tried to brake something of mine so I got angry and they stopped. It was weird." The kid looks at me and asks " Did they say they wanted to be friends with you?" I nod. "They are the school's 3rd highest bully group." I think about this for a moment. "Why aren't they expelled?" He sighs and answers "Most of the bullies have rich parents and are spoiled rotten. They can have anything they want so when they do get sent to the princiPals office they get away with it by saying something like 'I can call my father right now and tell him everything so if you don't want this dump turned into a parking lot then you can't give me detention.' And they always get what they want and never get in trouble. So I'd say that they got scared of you. And trust me they NEVER back down from a fight."

I look at him shocked. "What if they hurt me?" He looks at me " Stick by me and I might be able to help you. I smile. "Oh I never got to introduce myself I'm Braden We-" "BEEP BEEP BEEP" the bus went off. "I'm Alex O-" "BEEP BEEP BEEP" the bus went off again. We looked at each other and then out the window.

There in the middle of the road a herd of cows crossing it. We giggled a bit then were laughing our heads off. We sat back down and then Braden asked a question "What were they trying to brake?" I looked at him. "Are we friends?" I ask. "As long as I get the seat next to the window, always Alex!" I feel the softness and kindness in his voice. "Can I trust you?" He nods and looks between me and my backpack. "Please Alex I want to know what they want and maybe I can help you, my friend."

I take out the artifact and hand it to him. "What do you think it is?" I ask him. He looks at me. "I don't know, it could be knew kind of rock, but it isn't anything I've ever seen. And the twin seem to be right. There is something inside. Hey, we could... If you wanted to... Go to my place after school and see what's inside?" He says. I look at my phone.

A: is it ok if u come to my house for the school year. Somthing happened and ill tell you when u get here

K: Ok leaving today, going to be there in 2 days.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I quickly type and say yes to the invitation from Braden. The bus soon stops for the last time and we get off the bus. It is now 7:58 and this school is bigger than the last one. I smile as Braden leads me to the hallway and soon the office. As soon as I get to the offices hallway I see my best friend waiting for something.

"Sub, your here!" I run up to him and hug him tight. He smiles and nods. Braden stops in his tracks and sees that I'm taking to Sub and turns around. "Who is this?" He asks me. This is going to take awhile to explain.

Hoped you like this!
