THE GIFTED

Devilen?

"OMG! , I can't believe he talked to you! ..........er...........no offense."

Ange and me are walking side by side on our way to our  houses. Are neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, not many people live here in Shamton. They mostly live in the more developed neighborhood.  I on the other hand am a very different person all together, I get uncomfortable when I am surrounded with machines, and this place is pretty neat.

"none taken, who is he anyway?"

 Angela screeched, which believe me is ear deafening. "YOU DON'T KNOW HIM! He is like the most famous guy in the school he is Devilen" she said his name in a dreamy voice. I wasn't sure about the famous guy part but i was sure that his name suited him 'devil'...

Angela intrupted my train of thoughts" I was going to ask if I could sleep over at your house today, we are repainting our  house"

Ange's family always does something or the other that Ange would sleep over at my place, but I like having her around. She keeps me company.

" I promise I won't break any bathtubs this time." she reassured me.

I laughed, like i am going to believe that! Last time she came to my house, I am not sure how she manages it but she can break anything, and I have my bathtub to prove it.

"yeah sure, come over anytime."

I watched as she skipped a few blocks ahead with her blonde curls bobbing up and down and entered a small house with long lacey curtains. Her mom stitches those curtains and she does it so fast, by tomorrow my house would be wrapped with curtains if I asked her too.

I headed to my house which was just the house opposite to hers, a plain white house with a very selective choice of flowers in the garden, so it stood out among the other houses. My mom had a thing for gardening, you mess with her plants you mess with her. I remember once I rolled over her flowers when I was 7 and all the flowers went flat. She made me do the whole entire patch again until it was perfect.

I walked to the porch and stuck my hand under the carpet and pulled a key to the house. I unlocked the door and  went in side

"mom, I'm home!" saying this was like habit.

"did anything happen in school today, out of the ordinary?" yes my mom, every day she asks the same questions some of your mom's say, how was school today or  come sit down and let’s talk about everything that happened,  but we keep it simple and we give the same answers,  it's like a recording going on and on every day.

"nope" I really wanted to tell her about that boy Devilen, but I just kept it simple. If I told her then she would pester me till I tell every detail but I was in no mode for that I just wanted to lie down on my bed and  think about what studies I had today..........yeah, right in my dreams, I am going to sleep like there is no tomorrow.

 I headed towards my room, passing by the kitchen a caught a glimpse of my mom making dinner, thinking about it makes me hungry, Chicken casserole. I climbed up the stairs to my room, my door is bare I like to keep my things neat, well most of the time anyway.

I walked to the door and then only noticed that my door was ajar. My mom never checks my room nor does my dad, maybe it's just Ange, but I saw her walking down to her house.

I went and reached for the door knob and twisted it and pushed it a little more open and peeked in, there was nobody there.

"Of course there is no one there, it's my room" I muttered under my breath. I walked in and dumped my bag on the bed. It was a small and cozy room with just a simple table and a wooden bed. Half of a wall was covered with a gigantic window. I used to have this room since I was 5 years old and it is like an old friend for me.

I froze in mid- step, there was that feeling again, the one that said, 'run'.

I turned around slowly the floor creaking under my feet and found that Devilen was behind the door his hands crossed over his chest, and a wide grin on his face.

"This time you have no were to go"

Now what would be your first reaction? Run fir the door? Scream for help?

I did the opposite. I stood there and practiced moving my jaw.

"how--di-did you---bedroom" I sputtered,

"I came here to ask you something. You tell me what it is or I will have to take you to seekerland my self."

I lost it when I heard the word SEEKERLAND, I started laughing when the person was going to  kidnap, me that's how crazy I got. "so this is some kind of prank right!" I said bursting into another fit of laughter "you got me there for a second, I really thought.....ah never mind.  You know you are pretty good in acting, if I could suggest a --"

  "you think this a PRANK!" He interrupted, 'Rude much!' shouting so loud the whole neighourhood could hear. "for seeker sake, I am going to kidnap you and take you to seeker land if you don't tell me, I am going to--"

That was when my mom came in almost knocking the door of it's hinges, she looked at me then at devilen and scowled at him.

 "get out of my house "my mom shouted.

 I was really starting to freak out not because of Devilen appearing in my room but because of my mom, she never shouts, NEVER, and when she does,

Well lets say things are going to get VERY UGLY.
