Fires Collided

"You should've sent your flame in case the letter didn't reach.I didn't know what to do when he kissed me."Grandpa hugged me."I'll hurt him for that later."I hugged him back."No need grandpa."I broke the hug."I'm sorry I almost blew our cover.I-I-I'll try.It's Crooks.Yes he's fairly attractive.I-I'll try."He nodded.After I hugged both of them we stayed the night and went to school from there after breakfast.Once I arrived to school I went to my classes.But at lunch I played my part.I saw Crooks and called him out.I excused myself from my friends and went over.Sorry for last night.Want me to make it up to you tonight?Or now?"He had those daring stare in his eyes so I made out with him in front of the entire school and teachers.He seemed to enjoy it."You can suck her face another time Crooks.Let's go.We'll be late to practice."I broke the kiss and turned to Ralph.Then I went back at Crooks."I should come and watch you practice."He was confused by my sudden affection.Then I whispered to his ear.Slowly."Go to practice.I come with you.And then maybe.Just maybe I will let you enjoy me for a while."Then I landed a small kiss behind his ear."What do you say big guy?"Then ı got off my toe tips and looked up at his eyes."Let's go."Then we left.

While they were practicing Alex came by after his class."Never do that in front of me ever again.I thought you and Peter were gross."I rolled my eyes."I don't know how long I can keep up with him but the practice is almost over and I highly recommend you to leave for what is about to happen.If I went a tad bit forward than I wanted he might even fuck me on the field."

"Ugh!That's just disgusting.I'm out of here.Use me as an excuse if you have to.I'm totally down."I chuckled."My savior.Love you."He smiled."Love you.But keep it up because he's coming."Then he ran away.Literally ran away."Do we need to talk?"He shook his head and I stood up.We started making out.His hand was sliding under my skirt.So I whispered."I'm all for PDA but I'm hungry.See you later big guy."Then I grabbed my bags and left him there.I went to dinner and sat with James instead of him and he got mad.He grabbed my a and he took me to the club tower and the moment that door was closed he pinned me on it."You could've just said you wanted to make out."

We made out for a long time depending on that door until people started knocking because they wanted to enter."Not near me."Then he got on the couch to relax.Instead Crooks sat next to him and pulled me onto his lap to continue our making out.Which didn't really seem fair to Ralph.So I stopped."My cousin is going to be here any minute.I should probably get up."One last kiss and he let me go.I washed my mouth god knows how many friggin times before it felt clean again.Then Alex knocked on our door."I love you.Never forget that."He got me under his arm and we left the club tower to get coffee from the kitchen.

"Hey Rose.""Hey Rolland.How are you?"Alex looked confused."Sorry.Absolutely my fault.Rolland please meet my cousin Alex.Alex this is my friend from Lionclutch Rolland."They did their all good stuff."So how was your holiday?""As good as it could've been.Anyways.I have to get going but it was nice bumping into to you Rose."He left and we searched for coffee.We finally found it.I made coffee and we went back to the club tower with mugs.Mine is the exceptionally gigantic one.Hah.I love this thing.As we went back to the club tower I saw Crooks and Ralph sitting on the couch.Like they were while we left.But they were in different clothes back then and all.I sat between Alex and Crooks."Hey boys."Alex and Crooks both wrapped their arm around me.I mean I expected it from Alex but not Juniper.It made me uneasy."Get your arm off of her."I turned at Alex.I sighed and whispered."It's alright."It wasn't alright.He took his arm off of me."Much better."Then he pulled me closer to him creating a gap between me and Alex.A very big one for us.This wasn't alright.For some unknown reason this brought tears to my eyes.I-I-I didn't want this.But if I do this the riots are over.And if riots are over I get my grandparents back.Alex gets his whole family back.His grandparents.His parents.This is upsetting him more than it is upsetting me.We don't get letters anymore.Because they are allways on this riot stuff.

I couldn't stay there anymore."Sorry.I'm gonna use the bathroom."I left and I locked myself in one of the stalls trying to calm myself down.

She didn't look up to the ceiling.This is not a good sign.She's not handling it well.I got up and went straight to Silver's bedroom.I banged on the door."Oh...what do we have here?Little Monroe."I rolled my eyes."Hatch I don't have time for you or your dumbass insults.Where is Silver?"She chuckled."Isn't she a bit old for you?"I rolled my eyes once again."Silver get her away from me before I do something to her I won't regret!"Silver came.Mari left."I need you to check up on Rose for me.She is in the bathroom and I'm worried.""Do you think she's going to...you know?"I nodded.She ran tot he bathroom.

"It's me.Silver.Are you ok Rose?"I sighed."I'm fine."I opened bahtroom stall."But the school won't be if I don't get out of here in time."Then I went to the common area.I jumped out of the window and turned into a dragon and went far away.

---

Crooks came over."What's happening?"I turned to him."She's going to blow up."Then we heard a scream and all of us ran to the windows.A gigantic fireball appeared and the screamings got louder and louder by second.Windows blew up.Everybody started running away.They started screaming too.The common area turned into hell.And when she finally blew up rock pieces came from the windows.It's a miracle school is still standing.Some of us even blacked out because of the screamings and the power wave.This...This isn't good.She isn't good.And I have no idea how to help her.

(THIS IS JUNIPER CROOKS BTW)
