Gifted Children

Chapter 3

Isabelle finally woke up a couple minutes later after the explosion. Besides her, all of her friends were still knocked out. She knew she had to wake someone up. 

"Stella."

"STELLA."

"STELLA!" Isabelle yelled once again as she proceeded to slap Stella in the face to wake her up.

"Wha- What the hell Izzy? Why did you slap me?" Stella questioned.

"What you wanted me to let you sleep or something?" Isabelle said half joking. But then she realized Stella had bright, almost neon green eyes in place of her usual calm looking hazel eyes.

"What the hell happened to your eyes?" 

"I could ask you the same thing, Izzy!" Stella said back in a joking manner.

"What? What's wrong with my eyes?" Isabelle asked as she checked her phone camera.

"Holy shit," Isabelle said as she saw that she had bright, fiery red eyes in place of her dark brown ones.

"Do you think this happened to everyone?" Stella asked.

"I don't know, but we should wake everyone up anyways."

Together they woke up everyone, and each one kept asking what was wrong with each other's eyes. Along with Isabelle's bright fiery red eyes and Stella's neon green eyes, Nick had glowing blue eyes in place of his dark green ones, Jake had purple, which glowed bright as a galaxy, the twins had piercing white eyes, and Colin, who they woke last, had dark black eyes in contrast to his light golden brown eyes.

"What the hell happened to us?" Colin asked, rubbing his forehead.

"I don't know, but if we don't want to get found out, we need to go back to Walmart and get colored contacts for our eyes." Isabelle explained to the group.

They all listened, and got in the car. After everyone was silent for a couple of minutes, Isabelle chose to speak to Nick.

"Hey, I'm sorry that I kept nagging you to check out the thing in the road. I'm the reason we got in this mess."

Nick apologized back, saying "Nah, it was my fault too. I should've listened right away."

"Awwww, look at you two being adults and sucking up your feelings," Zack mocked them from the back seat. 

Isabelle playfully punched him, and it felt like everything was all right. They got their colored contacts, along with some weird looks from the cash register worker.

Nick dropped everyone off, with Isabelle's house at the last stop. But as she got out of the car, Nick started to walk up to her house with her.

"Hey. Be safe tomorrow. We don't what bat shit crazy stuff that thing did too us," he told her with a chuckle.

With that they hugged, a bit more than Isabelle expected, but she wasn't complaining.
