Chapter 10

"Okay, remind me again why we're doing this?" Aura said as we ran into the car.

"I have a friend who's power is tech. Even if her powers don't work for the system, shes still really good at hacking." I said as the car started moving.

"Who is that?" Lucas asked and I smiled.

"You guys don't know her. She really likes staying quiet. Her name is Liv."

"Yeah you're right I have no idea who that is." Lucas replied and they laughed.

"So when she hacks the system, we will get assigned the missions that have to do with the weapon. But how will we know?" Tessa said, looking at her nails.

"We'll have to study the weapon closely." Blake added and I nodded.

"Wait but if the missions are at random, and they won't know when the next one will be, how will she even hack the system?" Aura said and I shrugged.

"DUDE YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A PLAN FOR THAT?" Aura snapped and I flinched.

"Sorry. Got a little carried away." She stammered. I giggled.

"I have a lot of faith in Liv."

____________

"No."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO?" I said, getting angrier by the second.

"I mean no." Liv said again, and stood up.

"But this is life or death." I begged.

"Look. I love you and all, but your friends, not so much."

"Wait what."

"Did they even know I existed?" She asked and I sighed.

"No."

"They've literally said hi to me in the halls and don't know I exist." She laughed, and I looked at the floor.

"Fine. I'll help you as long as I don't have to talk to them."

"You know, I feel like you and Tessa would get along though." I sighed and she cut me off.

"No Taylor. No."

_______________

"Shes helping us!!!!" I smiled, looking at the team.

"That's good. So what do we do now?" Lucas said and I shrugged.

"Tonight we look at the weapon again and draw it really closely. Then we have to research everything on a device like this and hope that we see some pieces." Tessa said.

We looked at her and she raised her eyebrows. "What?" She said.

We parted ways and me and Aura walked back to our dorm. We had told the school we failed the mission, and they gave us a lecture.

They then said that the artifact wasn't that special though, to which I cursed at them in my head.

nOt SpEciAL my ass.

Once I got to my room I showered and put on a comfortable outfit.

"Wanna go to the store?" I asked Aura and she agreed.

We really needed to stock up on food.

We went to the front of the school and signed out. They let us go and we walked to the grocery store.

"Hey uh Taylor." Aura stuttered and I looked to her.

"Can I tell you something?" She asked and I nodded.

"You can tell me anything."

"I'm bi."

"WAIT SERIOUSLY? I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!" I screamed and I hugged her. She smiled back at me and laughed.

"Who knows?" I said.

"Tessa and you so far." She replied.

"I'm so happy for you."

"You already said tha-"

"I KNOW!" I said, cutting her off.

We had a laughing fit and finally made it to the store.

We grabbed snacks, and some food we didn't need to cook.

We don't exactly have a kitchen in our dorm, but in the cafeteria they serve dinner and lunch.

It's really good.

We got done in the store and walked back.

"Are you gonna tell more people?" I asked her.

"I'm not sure yet." She said and I nodded.

We talked more, and many different topics came up. The fight with me and Sabrina, the weapon, and the fact that we lost the fight in the warehouse.

Once we got back to the school we took the food up to our dorm, stored it, and sat down.

"I'm bored already." She said, and fell back onto her bed.

"How about we go train? I think the room is open." I suggested and she smiled.

We made our way down and went into the training room.

The training room is like a gym, with punching bags, weights, treadmills, but it also has a bit of spice.

There is one spot in the room with holograms that you can "kill". It's on a really big mat that takes up almost all of the room.

We both decided to do that and we turned on the mechanism.

We started fighting, and soon enough I was breaking a sweat. It was easy, so Aura turned it up a notch. The holograms started moving faster, and we moved with them.

"Hey." Tessa said and we both jumped. "Mind if I join you?"

"Not at all!" Aura smiled.
