Water Worlds

Chapter 10

"You're not supposed to be here." Their words ring in my ears.
"Calm down Riley, don't be mean to my sister from another mister here. Hey, we should hang out sometime, it'd be cool to mess with people's heads." The other Dylan replies. I look back at Riley and then back to myself.
"Nah, I really should get going." I tell him.
"Awe, come on! You weren't doing anything before you saw us!" Asher exclaims.
"Yeah! C'mon, we need another lady ta chill with round here." Trinity adds.
"Don't listen to Riley, they seem a bit confused right now. You should come to the mall with us!" Lexi says, pushing me forward, Trinity grabs my hand and the others follow. This isn't good.
When we get to the mall I make up an excuse about needing to go to the bathroom and Trinity reluctantly lets go of my hand. I run to the restroom and turn on the sink. I sit against the wall, hoping it will overflow. Then I hear someone else walk into the room.
"You need to go home, you're going to get someone hurt by being here." Riley says.
"I'm trying, I need a body of water to travel through. Sam told me it could be dangerous, I didn't think I'd get stuck here because of myself." I reply.
"Who's Sam?" Riley asks, filling a cup with water.
"You, in my world you're Agender, what gender are you here? Is it the same?" I ask back.
"I'm genderqueer. I'm guessing Sam knows about your power too." They reply.
"Yeah, they were with me when I came here, I was trying to control it. I hope they didn't leave already." I tell them.
"If I were them I'd be pretty worried that my girlfriend left through a puddle and hasn't been back for this long." They say.
"Wait, girlfriend?" I ask.
"Well yeah, Dylan and I are dating. Wait, you and Sam aren't together?" They ask.
"I wish, I never had the courage to ask, plus we just discovered I have this power." I reply.
"Well, I hope you end up together someday." They say. they pour the cup of water on the floor making a puddle.
"Thanks." I reply, I high-fived Riley and jump into the puddle, hoping to go home. When I open my eyes I'm in a stall, I open it and walk out. I walk out of the bathroom and out the front doors of the mall, Sam is sitting on the sidewalk staring at the puddle, they look sad.
"Sam!" I yell, running to them.
"Dylan!" They run to meet me and we meet in the middle, I fall to the ground as they jump on me.
"Oh my god, are you okay?" They ask.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I reply, pretending I wasn't just in a lot of pain.
"What happened? What took you so long? Where did you go? Did it work?" They ask.
"I'll tell you all about it later. Come on, let's go back to my house."
