Special.

Chapter 4

I walk down the street, playing with the goodbye gifts Melinda gave me. She gave me a medallion with a flame on one side, and hands hovering over a crystal ball on the other side. This will tell other fortune tellers and enchantresses who I am and where I come from. The other gift is a map of our kingdom. I'm mostly just playing with the medallion.

I'm thinking about May as I walk towards my school. She moved here when I was 9. We've been friends since she moved in to the hut beside mine. I think of how to apologize and how to tell her and the others the prophecy.

Turns out, I didn't have to apologize. She did.

As I'm still pondering, she finds me and yells, "Lily!"

I quickly start to turn when she tackles me. And I hit the ground. Hard. I look at her and start to say, "I'm so sor-" When she immediately says, "I'm so sorry! You wouldn't of told me only to protect me! I shouldn't of yelled, please forgive me!" She's out of breath by the time she's done.

I just sit up and laugh. Of course, she's sorry. She's my best friend. I begin to think it was silly that I ever thought she hated me. She looks at me confused.

"What?" she asks.

I laugh and say, "I was gonna apologize to you!"

She smiles and sarcastically says, "Well, you feel loved, don't you?"

I laugh and answer, "Yes!"

She once again tackles me, not as hard this time, and hugs me. I smile and after a few moments lightly pushed her off of me. I sigh.

"I have something to tell you and the others."

"What?" she asks as the Rose, Ella, Ben, Violet, and Twyla come up. I quickly explain the boy, the prophecy, and show them m parting gifts. Once again, all are standing with mouths open. Except for May. She seems to be thinking when she asks, "Who will be the other three? There's only seven of us."

I pause and start thinking as well. I didn't realize we needed three more people. Twyla is the next to react, saying, "Ya, who?"

I throw my hands up in the air. "I don't know!" Rose face-palms. And suddenly we're all thinking of who, when I finally say, "Well, Dan's got to be one." Everyone nods. I've known Daniel since he moved here two years ago. One year after May.

He liked May and started hanging out with us. He's a jock so we were both surprised when he asked her out to a festival. She simply laughed and said no. He was hurt by the rejection but quickly moved on afterwards. He's still our friend now and still hangs around us, even if he doesn't sit at the lunch table with us.

Then Rose said, "How about Lucas?"

We all smiled at that. We all knew Rose had  a crush on him.

I said, "Okay, I trust Lucas. He's a good friend."

I had known Lucas since I moved here six years ago, so I knew he was trust-able. Plus, he was one of the few different people that were here. He was a jock, but instead of being super strong or super fast, he could super jump. Of course, this was dangerous if he didn't have anything to land on when he jumped because he would die because of the fall. But, his power could still help us.

Finally, Twyla said, "I think Bronie is trust-able." Out of the corner of my eye I see May blush as I say, "Yeah of course we can trust Bronie."

May had a little crush on Bronie, which made me trust him more. Bronie, or Bronen was a nerd. He loved constructing things. From stick houses to canons, he loved it. I fully trusted him.

"OK, let's go get em guys!" Twyla said, leading the way. We all followed her, towards what I hope to be trusted friends.

I decided on trying to update every day or every other day. Also sorry but, I can't really update on weekends because I have one of those 'lots of family time' parents. So, that means playing on devises always is a no-no. So, to sum it up, no weekend updates and trying to update every day but might be every other day.
