Gifted ch. 6 Stays in the dorm….

That night I slept peacefully. Well, not peacefully. But I slept.

The entire night all I saw was images of someone I didn’t know. The girl had Scarlet eyes and black hair.  She had creamy skin and a long thin frame. In one of the images she was smiling. Her tiny teeth were as pure as snow. Many of the times she had a dazed look in her eyes, as if she was watching something that was not there. One of the images had Leleil in it, she was so stunning in it, her electric blue eyes breath-taking……WAIT! What am I SAYING! I hardly know her! Another girl with her there in the photo as well she had blood red hair and dark eyes. That first girl……Who was she?

A sharp pain struck my forehead and I awoke.

“THAT….is what you get for dreaming about me and my sisters.” Leleil said, her fist clenched.

“Wha–? I’ve never even met your sisters! How would I know what to dream about?” I defended, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

“You certainly know Jett enough. And you glossed over Kat so much….And me! Just for you to dream about me infuriates me!”She said throwing a pillow at me.

“Does someone in the school control dreams? I know nothing about any of these girls except you.”

Leleil looked as if she was about to answer my question when her face lit up with blush.

“KAT! I’M GONNA MURDER YOU!”

She slammed the door shut as she stormed out. I was totally confused my colors were changing like a collide-a-scope, I suddenly noticed a neatly folded outfit sitting on the floor next to my bed, a pair of shoes, and my backpack. I got up and grabbed the clothes, there was a note on top of it.

Dear Arzo
Hey dude
Listen man
Yo, Dan
Daniel, what I
Hey Arzo,
Get changed into these.
Call me with the new cellphone in your backpack, once your done
changing. Sorry. the teachers confiscated all your stuff. I
went out last night and got you some school supplies, a new
laptop, and a new cell phone, as I stated previously. I loaded
all the contacts of the teachers, faculty, and all my friends.
I didn't load Lucifer. 
If you want to go to lunch together, maybe I can introduce you
to everybody.

Lov
Later.
Leleil.

I turned into that deep purple when I realized what she had just written. Leleil…..Was asking me on a date?……

I’d never…..gone on a date before………

NO! She wasn’t asking me out……No……She was……..But, I don’t know…. how I feel about……Leleil.

I got up and got dressed in the uniform. It was just a white button up, and a pair of navy blue jeans. And there was a tie. Man! I hate ties. I picked it up. it was pre-tied…….Leleil……NO! She is my roommate. Nothing more. I have to stop doing this…What would—-

“Leleil likes you.” said a sweet voice….too sweet…sweet like poison, drawing you to it. A long, lean girl with cherry red hair and black as night eyes was sitting on the window sill.”But all the Will girls do. You sure are popular, Daniel.”

“You–how did you–get in here?”

“The window–duh!” She said hopping down, and flipping her scarlet hair out behind her.

I backed up, “Who are you?”

“Kat Will. Your roommate’s sister. The dream weaver.” She spoke her voice was sickly sweet…..inviting, yet at the same time deadly.

“You– You made me have that weird dream!”

“Weird? I just put our faces into your mind….You made the dream. ”

I continued staring at her. What was going on?

“So….You like Leleil and Jett? Pity…….I really wish I was on the list……” She said playfully pouting.

“You like darker, more rebellious girls, eh? I guess I’ll just have to step my game…” She said backing up towards the window,  then sitting on the ledge again.”Buh-Bye, now, love.” She let go of the sill and fell backwards, out the open window.

“Wait! Kat! KAT!” I shouted out the window. I looked around outside…No one.

I grabbed my backpack, it’s contents so carefully organized, I searched through the pockets then finally found my cell phone I looked at the speed dial list on my phone:

1. voice-mail

2. Leleil

3. Mr. Yamada

4. Griffon

I didn’t read more after that I punched the 2 button and listened to the dial tone.

"Heya, this is Lei. Leave a message!"

“Leleil! Your sister just—-Kat just—-just hurry over to the dorm!” I sputtered, barely comprehensible.

"Bleeeeeep! Gotcha! I'm not the voice-mail! What happened, Colorés?"

“Kat she—”

"KAT!?"

“Yeah, she just jumped out the window!”

"Hang on, Skittles. I'm getting Erik to teleport me right now!

“Okay…But…Your sister….”

"I know, I know. She's a little witch. She listens in, and manipulates
your dreams, just to embarrass you later.I'm embarrassed that she's my 
older sister more than anything...that HAG....Anyway what did she say?"

I remained silent. No way….There is no way I could tell her…..

"Dan, tell me what she said. I can still read your mind through the
phone."

“Your bluffing….”

"Ar, I'm being completely honest.....You don't want me to know it...
You'd rather face the Devil than tell me...."

“So no matter what—” I started, then a cloud of smoke appeared in font of me, once the smoke cleared, there was Leleil and a boy holding hands in front of me, the boy had tan skin and shaggy black hair, Erik, I presumed.

Leleil slid her hand out of his once she saw me. He blushed once he had followed her gaze, and seen me.

“Sorry, to teleport with something or someone I have to be touching them…..sorry.” He said casting his eyes down. Did he…….fear me? Or was it respect? Either way, to cast his eyes down and blush at me, why…….Oh, man…..Did he think Leleil an d I were an item!?

“Don’t worry about it, Erik, me and Dan are just friends. Now where is she?” That last part was directed to me. Erik detected that he was no longer needed and teleported away.

“She jumped out the window.”

“So she just came in then left?”

“You could say that.”

“What did she say?”

“Uhhhh…….” I really didn’t want her to know……what Kat had said…was just too embarrassing!

She looked at me seriously as she read my mind,

” ‘Leleil likes you…….But all the Will girls do……Leleil and Jett? Pity…….I really wish I was……You like……….eh?………guess…….. my game………..now, love…..’ “

“Leleil! You read my mind!”

“Only the bits you allowed me to.” She said sticking out her tongue, and then pouting. “So, you like Jett, too? Aw, geez. I thought I’d have you all to my self….”

“I don’t like Jett!”

“Oh really?”

“Yeah.”

“Then why don’t I take you to meet her and then we’ll see.” Leleil said grabbing my arm, “Hurry up! We only have an hour before school starts!”

*********************************

Leleil had dragged me halfway across the campus, twiddling on her phone, then finally she opened the door to a classroom. The entire room was full of all sorts of teens, beautiful and ghastly, hardly noticeable and super human, quiet and loud, and in the class room, everyone I had met so far, plus more, were there. Karen sat in the back of the room, surrounded by men, Griffon and a tiny girl with auburn hair leaned against their desks chatting. Lucifer sat in a dark corner, eying Leleil the whole time.  Erik was hurriedly reporting to Kat who, stared at me with this day-dreaming like gaze. A tall and thin girl with creamy skin and black hair, crimson eyes and tiny, pearl-white teeth, was focused on the notebook she was writing away in.

“That’s her. That’s my baby sister Jett.”

Leleil let go of my arm, and gave me a push in Jett’s direction.

Jett looked up, I noticed her entire face was coated in piercings, a nose ring, a tongue ring, a lip ring. Studs, and gauges.  Her black hair was in and emo style and her nails were in a red-black pattern. I turned deep purple, she was gorgeous.

“Yes?”

“Uh. I’m Dan.”

“Heya. I’m Jett. So you’re the new kid. The color guy?”

“Yeah that’s me.”

“So you’re my big sister’s roommate?”

“Yeah.”

“You really are that really cool looking guy from my dream!”

I froze. Cool? She thought I was cool. I smiled.

“The seat next to me is open….Wanna sit there?”

My smile got bigger. “Yeah, I will. ” I sat down and I looked around the room.

Griffon gave me a thumbs up, the Auburn haired girl beamed. Leleil looked happy, yet at the same time sad. Lucifer, who had his arm around Leleil smirked. Kat looked kinda angry. Erik looked relieved. Karen and much of the rest of the room was totally oblivious to this amazing moment in my life. Jett smiled and tossed a note at me.

I’m really glad you wanted to sit next to me. Welcome to Gala-Ivy School!
