Baby Steps

When I wake up from my phone it is 8:17 September 13th. I sit up and grab my phone. Summer texted me. It read, You awake? I answered with a, Yes.

I set my phone on my bedside table and made my bed then opened my closet and grabbed a decent looking shirt. I then put on jeans and placed my phone in my pockets before I headed out. I never really ate breakfast or lunch so that’s why I didn’t today. I was meeting up with Josh, Kyan, Summer, Suzan, and Dylan for my first practice. Josh and Summer where going to watch and laugh at my fails but Dylan, Summer, and Kyan are helping me learn.

They can do this because each power shares one thing in common although some it seems impossible.

Anyways I know I didn’t mention you too Dylan before but I will now. Dylan’s full name is Dylan Andrew Lyons. He has short brown hair and green-grey eyes. Dylan is a really nice person and a really nice friend. I am glad I have him as one. Dylan has the power to freeze things like water and what not.

 

So practice started when I got there and I have to say it was pretty tiring. First person was Suzan and what we did was learned how to look into a person to read them. For me their emotions and for Suzan their thoughts. Next up was Dylan which here I learned to think of when I wanted time to be frozen. I froze time like ten times and well time was frozen I would eat, drink, play with my friends. It was fun. I also texted random people off of their phones. But then we moved and now it was Kyan’s turn. Since Kyan couldn’t really help me with seeing the dead he helped me with emotion reading and freezing time.

But I had fun and afterwards we went out for ice cream. I got cookies and cream in a cone and who knows or cares what everyone else got. But after I got my ice cream I sat on a picnic table and everyone sat down besides me.

“How was first day of practice?” Kyan asks with a smirk. I smile and sigh. I was tired and just wanted to enjoy the sun and my melting ice cream.

“It was fine I guess. Just hope I don’t see any ghosts because that seems hard for y’all to teach me.” I smile and lick my ice cream too keep it from dripping on my light blue shorts. “Can’t wait for tomorrow.” I say with a fake big smile.

Kyan wraps his arms around my shoulder and I shove my ice cream in his face. Once I pull it back and lick it Kyan’s face is red and shocked. He looks at me as if he has been shot. But I didn’t care it was fun and he deserved it.

“I love you too sweety.” He say grabbing ice cream and rubbing it on my face. I am shocked now and cold and just wow.

“That’s not nice. You’re supposed to be like a gentleman.” I say in awe.

“Well why don’t you act more ladylike.” I get mad and grab some ice cream I then put my hand up his shirt and rub it. Once I take my hand back Kyan stands up and takes off his shirt. He chucks it at me and I charge him wiping my ice cream all over him as he did the same.

He grabbed me and held me. One hand around my waist and one hand on my chest holding my hands down. I laughed and he kissed my cheek. I knew I was blushing and I knew Josh was there but I couldn’t help it.

“Hello?” Josh and Summer say. Summer laughing and Josh a bit serious.

Kyan releases me and I walk too the table and sit there in the silence. Well until someone started talking.

“So Alex don’t you look sweeter than ever.” Josh jokes and I push him playfully but he still falls off the bench laughing.

“Oh no.” I say going after him. I help him up or try but I lose my balance and fall down beside him. I begin to laugh and he joins me. I love them both and I really can’t decide. I get up and I help him up this time without knocking myself over. I smile and look into his eyes as I lose myself. These feelings were intense and made me all gooey inside. But then there was jealousy and anger. I look away and sit back down. Emotions settled.

“So what next?” Summer says as everyone goes quiet.

“I should go shower and read up on some power guides. For ghost seeking anyways. BYe see you all tomorrow.” I get up and walk away. I was sad, mad, and confused. I was undecided, in love and every other feeling in the world. Why couldn’t I choose. I mean with practice I won’t really have alone time with either of the boys and only get a quick or just a normal kiss from Kyan.

But I had other stuff too worry about besides boys because I should learn to control my powers.
