Fire/Ice [11]

I wore a random black graphic tee tucked into a short skirt with slits in each leg and string pulling them together. I paired it with thigh high boots, messy curled hair, and natural makeup. I had my crystal necklace around my neck.

I walked down the halls of the school in annoyance and boredom. I was sick of this place and needed to get away.

Come see me?

I text Axel. We may have just met two weeks ago but I needed a distraction and he was perfect; he was hot, didn't know of my past, and was a pretty good kisser.

Already here.

I smirked and walked out of the school doors. I swayed my hips slightly as I saw him leaning against a black motorcycle. As I walked towards him I notice his eyes trail down my body before flicking up to my eyes when I stop in front of him.

"Hey, Babe." He places his hands on my hips pulling me closer.

"Babe?" I question with a raised brow. "We're definitely not there."

He just nods while biting his lip and chuckling slightly. He leans in and places his lips on mine. I smile as I kiss him back.

I pull away slightly. "So, did you figure out a way to get my solo magic back?" I may have been using him... slightly.

"Lee and Faye are trying something tonight at your dance but it's risky. I have a few books we can look through." He said making me nod. "Come over tonight during the dance and we can start."

I hesitate. "I can't tonight." I sigh and drag my hands down until they're resting on his chest instead of around his neck. "But if you find anything, I can come over afterwards."

Axel nods. I hear the bell ring and sigh. "I'll call you." I nod and he places a short but rough kiss to my lips.

I pull completely away from him and trudge back into hell... school.

I don't know how I was let into the dance as I wasn't wearing white or red, but instead a black long-sleeve, skin tight dress that went down a little higher than mid thigh with a black 'V' cut out showing off my cleavage. I paired it with black ankle boots, curly hair, and natural makeup with winged liner.

I stood in the corner, watching as people danced and laughed with their friends. Putting my flask to my lips, I take a chug. Vodka. Yum.

I wasn't in the mood for a school dance. I don't even know why I came here, I hate everyone. I can somewhat tolerate the circle but I didn't want to get between all their drama.

Cassie and Diana fighting over Adam but them all trying to deny it. Melissa moping about Nick but covering it up with a fake smile. Faye with her obsession with having individual magic. I get it though. I want mine back. Only so I can leave this town and be on my own like Nick and I always planned.

Nick and I made a pact that we'd leave this god awful town and never return, never looking back. We just didn't belong here. And now he's gone. I'm alone. I only belonged with him and now I'm by myself. Again.

Lifting my flask again, I place it to my mouth for another drink when it's ripped from my grasp. "What are you doing?" I ask angrily.

"What am I doing?" Melissa asks sarcastically. "What are you doing? Drinking at a school dance in the open? What's wrong with you?" She scolds.

"Everything." I mutter to myself. "It's nothing. I'm fine. Just leave me alone." I go to take the flask but she holds it behind her back. "Really, Melissa?" I laugh darkly. "Give it back."
