T.A.N.Y.A.
…I don’t mean to hurt you…
I watched in horror as Krystal ran away.
“Krystal, wait—“ I protested. Aww, man! I could’ve stopped her! I thought as she ran off. I raced after her, to make sure that she didn’t get hurt. “Krystal!” I shrieked. I stood by door 5, watching Krystal run towards a guy. Blake?
I silently watched the confrontation with the blue monster and Krystal. Then I saw them all flying away.
“No! Krystal!” I shrieked as I brought out my Angelbow. “Angelbow!”
Krystal whipped around. “Stop, Tanya! This doesn’t involve you! You don’t have to be here! Get out!” She shrieked as she slashed the arm of the blue monster. The monster finally let go of Blake, and Krystal. I watched as they plummeted towards Earth.
Krystal finally caught a hold of herself, grabbing Blake and gently floating down towards Earth.
…It’s because of the people I hang out with that I earn my reputation…
“Tanya, why’d you follow me?” She asked.
“I was gonna explain to you about why Abby did—“
“Never mind, I don’t need to know.” Krystal sighed. “Now, Blake, what happened while you were gone?”
“I don’t know! That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you! I was blindfolded, handcuffed, and tied up. I couldn’t see, hear, or feel anything.” Blake said exasperatedly.
“Sorry.” Krystal squeaked.
“Krystal! What hap—Blake!” I heard a voice behind us. I turned around to look at who it w—
“Abby! Why do you care?” Krystal snapped.
Blake turned to look at me for an explanation. “Abby’s been bugging her about you for a while.” I explained.
“Oh. Okay, Abby! What’s wrong with you for you to continuously torture her like this?” Blake sighed.
“What? I’m just worried about Krystal, that’s all.” Abby said innocently.
Krystal let out a snort. “Pssh. You just need something new to gossip about. You know how annoying it is for someone to be gossiping about you, yet you do it to others. You. Are. Such. A. Hypocrite!” She growled.
I sighed. Although Krystal was correct about Abby being a hypocrite, I could never bring myself to say it to her face. Krystal’s got guts! I thought.
A.B.I.G.A.I.L.
…Because you mean a lot to me…
I gasped. “Krystal, how could you say this to me?” I sobbed. “I’m not a hypocrite, nor do I like gossiping.”
Krystal snorted. “Yeah. And who was that spreading the rumour about me dating Blake?”
Blake nodded. “Yeah, we weren’t dating. And Harmony wouldn’t stop talking either. But I don’t mind her. She knows when to stop. You don’t seem to know.” He growled.
“But…I can’t help it if I gossip. I don’t have any other way to let out everything I know!” I cried out.
“THEN WRITE IT DOWN AND BURN IT!!!” Krystal and Blake screamed at the same time. Then Krystal stared at Blake.
“How’d you know what I was going to say?”
“I don’t know. I had a feeling, is all.” Blake said, confused.
Krystal tipped her head to one side. “You’re weird, Blake. Very weird.”
…When you cry, I’ll cry…
Blake smiled. “I know I am.”
Logging on Gmail tonight, I noticed a slight change in Krystal’s status.
“Is busy right now. Don’t talk to me or you’ll regret it. Painfully.”
And then read Blake’s.
“Doing hw. Stop talking 2 me!”
I quickly started a chat with the two of them.
Abby says: sup?
Krystal says: I’m busy, Abby. Leave me alone.
Blake says: come on! You too? Ive got hw. Leave me out of this.
Krystal says: lolz. I’m gone.
Krystal has left.
Blake has left.
Abby says: Wait! I haven’t even said n e thing!
Krystal has joined.
Blake has joined.
Krystal says: stop adding me! I don’t wanna talk!
Abby says: wait! Don’t go!
Blake says: wat? Wat’s so important that you have to add both of us?
Abby says: im sorry 4 wut happened 2day.
Krystal says: I’ll believe it when I see it.
Blake says: Hmph. That’s all? U bugged us for all of that? Thx, im leavin.
Krystal says: me 2. cya Abby. >.<
Blake has left.
Krystal has left.
…When you laugh, I’ll laugh…
I sighed at school. Krystal was angry at me, but so was Blake! I guess it’s because I spread a rumour, but they didn’t need to overreact…
“Hey Abby.” Krystal said.
“Hi…Krystal…are you still mad at me?”
“Yes. But that’s because we needed to do homework. And because you don’t start rumours without confirming them first.”
“But…the others convinced me to…”
“That doesn’t matter. That doesn’t give you the excuse to spread a rumour about us. And none of us enjoyed it.”
“Okay, okay.” I sighed. I couldn’t win against Krystal, anyways.
…When you jump out of a window, I’ll laugh again…
S.A.M.A.N.T.H.A.
…But I just can’t make you love me…
Sitting patiently and watching the fight between Krystal and Abby, I sighed. They fought constantly, and Abby was always the one provoking Krystal! I guess it really should be worth it to see Krystal punch Abby in the face! I thought quietly with a smile across my face. I watched as Blake slowly approached the girls.
“Come on, Krystal. It’s not really worth it, is it?”
“No, I guess not. Thanks, Blake.” Krystal said, walking away with Blake’s arm around her shoulder.
“Okay, now that’s mean. I wonder why both of your statuses were busy? There wasn’t any homework last night, it was Valentine’s Day!” Abby jeered.
“What would you know about the grade 8 homework?” Blake challenged.
“Abby asked me. I told her that no sensible teacher would give their students homework on Valentine’s Day.” A voice spoke up from behind.
“Harmony!” Blake gasped.
I turned to face Nessa. “So…how’d you get these weird powers, anyways?” I asked.
Nessa shrugged. “It’s not like I asked for it. This weird alien named Calle gave us powers. He said it was to protect the earth or something like that.”
“So…does that mean that you don’t want the powers?”
“Not really…I don’t want them, but it brings us closer together as friends.” Nessa sighed. “But it does put a lot more stress on us, plus the homework Ms. Goddard gives us…it doesn’t hurt for the monsters to give us a break every once in a while. Or maybe Ms. Goddard. Either one or the other.”
“Okay, that makes a bit more sense…I think.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t get it. What matters is that you don’t have to get involved if you don’t need to. It’s bad to be involved. Just ask Krystal. She’s being loaded with homework, and she has the alien busting to do. Don’t you think she needs a rest? Remember those days when you saw her looking really tired and she wasn’t paying attention in class? That was because she had homework to do, plus the aliens attacked. Not fun.”
“Oh. Maybe you should stop doing the alien busting.”
“We can’t. Then who would protect the city?”
“Good point. Forget I asked.” I turned to look at Krystal and Blake.
“Do you think?” The rest was too quiet for me to hear.
“Nessa, what’s up with Krystal and Blake?”
“Dunno. I tried talking to her last night, just to ask her about Blake, but she never answered. Like, she told me to shut up and that was it. I think she was busy doing homework on her day off from alien busting.”
“Yeah, I tried talking to her and Blake, in separate chats. They both answered with ‘I’m busy’ at the same time.” I sighed.
“Maybe they were both busy, like they said.” Nessa reasoned.
“But Harmony said that they didn’t have homework all week. And there were no projects. What were they doing?”
“Maybe they had something they didn’t hand in, like Krystal’s missed a couple of assignments and Blake’s always missing work.”
“Yeah, she’s been yelled at for so many times by the teacher, it’s a miracle that she’s still found the time and patience to do it for her. Ohhhh…maybe that’s why they were busy!”
“You know you just said that.”
“Sorry, my train of thought comes out of my mouth so quickly, I just realise it late.” I grinned.
Ring….The school bell awoke me from our conversation.
N.E.S.S.A.
…I don’t think that that’s really that funny…
I sighed as I walked upstairs to my locker. What was going on between Krystal and Blake anyways? I turned around, seeing Krystal.
“Hey Krystal?”
“What?”
“What’s going on between you and Blake?”
There was an annoyed look across her face. “Does everyone have to ask that? We’re not dating, if that’s what you meant, we’re just…better friends than we’d show.”
“So, you’re just hanging out because you’re friends?”
“YES! It’s always been that way, it’s just that he asked me to the dance, big deal. There’s something new, a guy asked me to the dance. That doesn’t mean that I have to date him. What would happen if I took you guys to the dance? Would I be dating you?”
“No, but—“
“Exactly. End of story.” Krystal growled as she walked away.
“But—“I protested, trying to get Krystal to stay. She continued walking, completely ignoring me. I sighed quietly, just as Abby came up to me.
“You tried talking to Krystal? I tried that; she got pissed, as usual.” She said sympathetically. “It seems like she’s hiding something from us…”
“Yeah, she’s always snapping at us, too.”
“Oh, yeah. But then maybe that’s because she doesn’t want us to know that she’s dating Blake. She’s been really protective about him recently.”
“Well, duh. He’s just been kidnapped by aliens. Don’t you think she’d be at least a bit more protective of him?”
Krystal slowly walked up to us. “You guys are talking about Blake, right?”
Abby immediately gestured for me to start talking.
“Uhm….err…”
“I guess I shouldn’t have asked…” Krystal sighed. “I must be the latest gossip, because of Blake, right?”
Abby sighed. “Well, duh! Where have you been recently? In a hole? Or with Blake?”
Krystal’s eyes widened. “Then maybe I shouldn’t have asked. For your information, I’m not dating him!”
I tipped my head to one side, in wonder. “How—“
“I listen better than I make it look like I do. Maybe you should just leave me alone!” Krystal snarled.
“Krystal! I know you like Blake, but don’t you think this is a bit far, even by your standards?” Abby protested.
“Abby, you know what? I think you should just leave me alone now. And my standards now, are that I don’t play to get even. I play to win.” Krystal growled, as she ran off.
“What?—Krystal!” Abby protested, realising that Krystal wouldn’t turn back, anyways.
I sighed, Abby was a hopeless case.
I managed to catch Blake as he raced past us.
“Blake—“
“What do you want now?” Blake growled. “You want to piss me off, too? Haven’t you hurt Krystal enough? What do you want with me?”
“Are you dating Krystal?” Abby demanded.
“Wha? Why would I be dating her?” Blake asked.
…But, sure, I’ll laugh, since you’re laughing. We’re supposed to be friends, right?…
