"Woah..."Harley's eyes lit up with amazement as the blob of water floating in Leona's hands slowly morphed into a small bird as Leona let it go."You sure you're not scared? I was worried you would think I'm weird." Leona said nervously, but Harley quickly shook her head."Leona that's...that's amazing! How is this even possible!? Does this mean you're fated to be some sort of superhero?"Leona giggled as she looked off into the distance from where they sat, on the grass in the school's field."I doubt it. I have no idea where these powers came from or even how long I've had them. So you gotta keep this a secret, okay?"Harley nodded, smiling widely at her friend and begging her to show her more tricks.You promised."It was her!"Leona could feel a faint voice scream in the distance amongst the sounds of police cars and ambulances. She looked over to where her friend was, Harley's eyes filled with envy and rage as they pierced through Leona.Why?Leona could feel the tears rolling d
Jaiden sighed as he slouched in his chair, waiting for the morning sun to rise up in the distance.It was already the third day on this trip and he had no idea how he was going to spend 2 more days here.The skies began to form a pale blue color, signaling that the sun was coming up soon. Jaiden continued to stare at the beautiful scenery before someone tapped him on the shoulder.He turned around and could feel a smile tugging at his lips as Leona bashfully waved."You're awake early too?" He asked, pulling up another chair for her to sit down."Yeah... and things between Khloe and I aren't exactly resolved yet, so I figured I'd come get some fresh air," Leona said with a faint smile.Jaiden nodded and the 2 silently stared off into the distance.For some reason, Jaiden began to get a little nervous.For the first time, he didn't know how to react, or even why this feeling seemed to only be towards Leona.Is it because she's pretty and cute? But there's a bunch of pretty girls, so wh
Leona woke up in a car and started panicking as she looked at her surroundings.She started to calm down as she recognized Khloe's mom driving in the front seat and slowly sat up in the chair, catching Khloe's attention."Hey," Khloe said awkwardly as she faced Leona. "Your mom said she couldn't pick you up so she asked us to drop you."Leona slowly nodded and looked down to see a small paper bag on her lap, as well as the blanket she covered her and Jaiden with on the bus."Oh, right. Jaiden said that's for you. Open it!" Khloe's eyes glistened with excitement as she looked at Leona and the bag.Leona still hadn't said anything, but she opened the bag and saw a small music box. In the middle was a little mermaid which would probably start spinning around once Leona started the music.Suddenly, it came back to her."This... music box. It was in that small souvenir store. I remember seeing it from the window." Leona mumbled to herself, a smile creeping on her face.Did Jaiden notice me
"Who picked it up?" Leona asked herself as she stood at her locker. "And in the midst of all that chaos?""Leona!" Khloe shouted from down the hall, noticing that Leona was focused on the music box."Leona? What's wrong?" Khloe asked, when all of a sudden, Leona took Khloe by the hand and led her all the way to the rooftop."Khloe, since you already know my secret... I want to be fully transparent with you." Leona said as soon as they arrived.Khloe looked confused but she nodded either way."Y-yeah sure, what's up?"The two girls sat in silence for a moment until Leona finally popped out the question."Khloe... are you scared of me?"Khloe looked up with guilt on her face. "A little bit.""O-Oh, I get it, it's fine." Leona said, feeling a little hurt by Khloe's words."Let me rephrase that- I'm scared of your powers, but I don't think it would be in your nature to cause a flood on purpose... or at all to be honest," Khloe said, taking Leona's hand and placing it in hers."Not." Leona
She sat within the empty room, hoping for him to show up. She styled her hair in cute pigtails, put on a little makeup, and even wore her good uniform today.I may not have put enough concealer... I can still kinda see my freckles, she thought as she inspected herself through a small mirror."Tara used this method, and now she gets to go to prom with the one and only Jaiden! So maybe," she muttered, her face beginning to look a little red.Suddenly, the door started to open and she quickly shot up from her seat, only to get disappointed by seeing Jaiden's face."Oh, hey! You're that girl that Terry's been talking to... Khloe, right?" He asked with his charming smile as he looked through his bookbag for something."Uh, yeah that's me," she said nervously. Jaiden chuckled as he found what he was looking for and waved goodbye as he left the classroom.To Khloe's surprise, he came back into the room and looked at her with a big, yet somewhat concerned grin."And, good luck with him!""Rig
It was beautiful sunny day when 9th grade started. Leona looked up towards the towering glass building and smiled, happy that she was finally in highschool."That means I can learn how to drive soon, huh?" Leona muttered to herself before beginning to make her way inside.Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a girl with long ginger hair sitting on the bench and she recognized her from middle school.They hadn't really talked back then, by they passed by each other a lot since they were in the same grade.She seems like a nice girl... Leona thought as she began to make her way to her locker."Leona?" She heard a voice call, and she turned around, surprised to see it was the ginger-haired girl."Yes?" Leona said, and the girl suddenly began to smile as she walked towards her."Omg! You went to the middle school in our area, right? Remember me? I'm Harley!"Leona slowly nodded as Harley took her by the arm and the two began walking together.****It's starting to happen again. Leona
"It's starting to get colder," Donovan said as he trembled a little bit.Leona nodded, her eyes lingering over towards the window. The seasons were beginning to change and that meant holiday season would be starting soon.That, unfortunately, also meant midterm season.The day didn't disappear from her mind, in fact everything was still vivid. The way Jaiden smiled at her, laughed with her, talked to her.He's been like that a lot lately, Leona thought as a slight blush appeared on her face."Oh, you got a crush or something?" Khloe asked with a raised eyebrow during lunch, almost making Leona choke on her cold spaghetti."N-no! I was just thinking about something is all." Leona mumbled before quickly changing the subject."Anyway, we have to start studying soon for the midterms right?"Khloe gasped, her face of amusement towards Leona's embarrassment turning into a face of panic."I feel like I haven't been paying attention all year."Leona chuckled at Khloe's antics throughout the p
"What's Atlantis?" Donovan asked, a face of confusion equally plastered on both his face and Khloe's."W-What? You know, Atlantis? We've been researching it for a while now.""Doesn't ring a bell to me..." Khloe mumbled, looking at Leona with concern in her eyes."I don't remember but if you ask me to research something for you then I'll be happy to do so!" Donovan exclaimed with a grin."Guys, don't you remember? Atlantis, the mythical kingdom? Khloe, our incident at Oak Lake? The... music box?"As if to remind them, Leona turned the music box on and let its tune play. Khloe and Donovan's eyes widened as they looked from Leona to the music box."Right, right, Atlantis! Wait but I could've sworn I was just reading up on it a moment ago after my exams."Donovan proceeded to pull out a book from his bag, showing the front cover which said, "Mythical Legends.""Well I actually hummed the tune of Leona's music box whenever I lost focus while studying!" Khloe said proudly before looking do
