Wings Of Fire as Humans [BEING REBOOTED]

Watcher of the Moon

Sorry for the really short chapter but I really wanted to write some Jade winglet stuff. Winterwatcher fans have been warned.

Winter huffed as he shouldered his bag. It was full of a lot of stuff. But there was one piece of paper that was just too precious. He smiled, remembering Her. 

The way she smiled. The way she stood up to him when he still a jerk. The way she refused to be terrified of him, even though most of his class was. The way she understood  him like no one ever had. 

The smile widened as he hid a small envelope in a bouquet of flowers. The bouquet was small enough to hide in his bag as he carefully kept it inside. 

''Winter!'' Hailstorm hollered from outside and Winter could hear him start the car their parents had gifted him a month ago. ''You coming?! Its already 7:15!''

Winter picked up his phone and grabbed is headphones from his desk. He turned and hurried down the hall, when his sister, Icicle, dashed past him. ''Later, loser!'' she called. He scowled at her. If anyone could ruin a perfect day, it was Icicle.  

Winter trudged behind her, when he remembered something. ''Shit!'' he ran upstairs. 

''WINTER'' he heared Hailstorm yell. 

''Go on without me!'' he shouted back stuffing his science homework in his bag. ''I will get a ride with one of my friends!'' He could almost imagine his brother's face frowning at him and his sister's smirk as she sat down in the front seat. 

After he was sure they were gone he texted his friends,

Winter: Can anyone give me a ride to school?

Winter: Hailstorm and Icicle already left.

SandyBoi: On my way!!!!!!!

Winter: Isn't anyone else free?

Rainbow: Sorry me and Turtle are at school already. 

SandyBoi: A little gratitude?

Winter:....

Winter: Just get here quick. I don't want to be late on the first day. 

SandyBoi: Yes your highness.

SandyBoi has logged off

Rainbow has logged off

Winter has logged off.

Winter waited impatiently outside his house, then he saw a small jeep speeding towards him. He jumped back as the jeep screeched to a stop an inch away from him.

''What the- YOU ALMOST RUN ME OVER!!!''

A boy with sandy-blonde hair rolled down the window on the navigator's seat, ''Almost,'' he said with a grin. ''Plus it wasn't even me driving.'' He shifted to reveal a girl with black hair and silver teardrop earrings hunched over the steering wheel, it was quite clear she was still shaken.

''Moon?'' winter asked surprised. 

''Yup,'' Qibli said. 

''I let her drive my jeep today," Someone said from the back seat. Thorn quickly got out of the car. "Qibli insisted, now let's get outta here before someone sees us."

Winter stared in disbelief at the woman. He was horrified by this blatant disregard of rules and safety.  

Moon looked up, ''Oh Winter!'' she cried as if she'd just realized what had happened. ''I am really sorry! I didn't mean to! I-I am just glad you are okay.'' she finished in a rush. 

''It's alright,'' Winter said dismissively. ''Buuut I think someone else should drive right now. By that I mean someone who has a licence.'' 

Moon nodded and got off. Qibli followed. He wrapped his arms around the shy girl and said something in her ear. Even if Winter couldn't hear anything it was quite clear that Moon was suddenly much more happier in his arms. 

He felt his world turn upside down as the realization hit him harder than lightning. 

It was really obvious. How could he have missed it. 

Moon was in already in love...and it wasn't him.  

Thorn got back in the driver's seat. "I hope I can trust you guys to keep this a secret?" she asked, starting the car. Winter nodded half-halfheartedly, staring out the window. "Good thing Sunny isn't here today," Qibli joked from the front seat and Thorn laughed. A while later the woman's face turned serious again. "Just remember, this was a one time thing. And I'm not letting anyone drive again until you guys are older."

Moon nodded shyly from beside Winter in the back seat, putting on her seat belt. 

"Of course, Mrs Thorn."
