School was hectic, we didn’t pay attention to anything taught because we were trying to focus and solve our main problem, nothing really came up, we were stuck. I threw my shoes away and dialed my mom’s number
 
 
 
‘Buenas tardes mamá’ I greeted merrily
 
 
 
‘Uhm, how was school today?’
 
 
 
‘Fue raro y algo mas (it was weird and something else)’ I said quietly
 
 
 
‘¿Qué dijiste? (What did you say?)’ she asked gigglingly. I furrowed my brows suspiciously
 
 
 
‘Nada (nothing)’ I murmured. ‘How was work mom?’
 
 
 
‘Fantástico!’
 
 
 
‘Si?’
 
 
 
‘Más si’ she was strangely enthusiastic
 
 
 
‘Mom, you look happy, what’s up?’
 
 
 
‘Awwwwn, gracias mi amor (thank you My love)’
 
 
 
‘Mom are you talking to me?’
 
 
 
‘Baby, take it easy’ she mo-ned, my nostrils flared up in anger
 
 
 
‘Mother!!!!!!’ I roared, she squeaked and cleared her throat
 
 
 
‘Baby what’s wrong?’
 
 
 
‘What are you doing with him now? Didn’t we agree that you won’t do it yet so fast’ I huffed
 
 
 
‘Look Anji, he loves me a lot and I know I can trust him with my heart, you don’t need to worry’
 
 
 
‘Mom, I only allowed your dating rubbish because we agreed that you won’t have s€× yet until you’re fully sure of this. You’ve only been dating him for not even up to three weeks and you already…..’
 
 
 
‘Anjiála Juanita Delgado!!!! You are my daughter, not the other way round so know your limit’ I scoffed amusedly at her words
 
 
 
‘This is unbelievable, you’re unbelievable! Fine, if that’s what you want then suit yourself!!!!’ I yelled back and hung up. I threw the phone away and stood up, I was so angry and frustrated. I took off my outfit and went to the bathroom, I bathe until my skin wrinkled before I came out. Arie was on my bed staring at my ringing phone
 
 
 
‘Your mother was calling, she have been calling for over an hour’
 
 
 
‘Three’ I corrected
 
 
 
‘Why are you all wrinkled?’
 
 
 
 
‘Nothing, forget about it’
 
 
 
‘Okay, I won’t push on. Let’s go for a walk’
 
 
 
‘Why?’ I asked drying my hair, she shrugged and packed her hair. ‘Where’s Abbie?’
 
 
 
‘Right here’ Abbie said from my wardrobe
 
 
 
‘Is this operation avoid Zino?’
 
 
 
‘And the hot Mateo in the living room’
 
 
 
‘I agree’ I said instantly, she grinned teasingly
 
 
 
‘Shut up’ I said blushingly
 
 
 
 
‘Ooooh, Anji is in love’ that sang teasingly
 
 
 
‘You are both mad’ I laughed playing with the hem of my towel, they laughed. I later wore a baggy yellow sweatshirt and green joggers to match the gurls outfit. They wore the same thing and topped it up with yellow canvas. We ran out laughing at Arie because of the ridiculous comment of Arie
 
 
 
She said. “Maybe I should marry Mateo and kill him on our wedding night so I’ll know how it feels to be a widow”
 
 
 
Don’t ask me why we were talking about widows
 
 
 
‘What are they doing here?’ That blonde chick asked angrily at seeing us
 
 
 
 
‘Zee, we’re off to explore, see ya later’ I said smilingly ignoring the way she sat on Mateo’s laps. Why should I care?
 
 
 
‘Okay, see you all later’
 
 
 
‘Try not to drink the orange juice’ Arie said smirkingly, Zino gasped, the juice was half gone
 
 
 
‘What did you do to my drink?!’
 
 
 
‘I’ll let your drink answer that’ she said shifting to a lopsided smirk. Soon he let out a room ridiculously loud fart, followed by the girls. They scre-med and ran to the bathrooms. We sat there laughing with Mateo, not until he said his
 
 
 
‘Shut up’ he said sharply
 
 
 
‘Ew! Yours smell worst’ I said in disgust holding my nose, his cheek turned red.
 
 
 
‘I drank the juice too’ he lied
 
 
 
‘You’re allergic to orange’ Arie said wiggling her brows, he huffed and stomped out. We laughed and ran out. ‘That was disgustingly hilarious!’
 
 
 
‘You said it’ I agreed. We ran down our street, our hair flying…..I haven’t really given you guys our description, I’m sorry
 
 
 
I’m blonde, ash blonde actually. Ash blonde is a colour almost white, sky blue eyes with black shading and pink l-ips. I’m tall, almost six feet and quite curvy if I must say so but I don’t think I’m beautiful. Ariana, she’s blonde, light blonde and chocolate eyes. She have this touch, this crazy touch to her look, she’s much of br-asts person with long slender legs and cute nose. Abbiana is well, calm in appearance like she is, tall like us and more in the black world. Black hair, black eyes, really cute nose. Her lashes are long and black too and she looks like a Indian girl
 
 
 
My description didn’t do much but whatever
 
 
 
‘Hey!’ I shouted as I staggered back, someone pushed me. She turned and it was surprisingly a he
 
 
 
‘Hello’ Arie said grinningly. ‘How do you do?’ The guy looked at us weirdly for a while and then me
 
 
 
‘You should be careful when you walk, you s-ck’
 
 
 
‘Are you being serious here? You just bumped into me’ I huffed
 
 
 
‘You are clumsy’
 
 
 
‘That makes no sense’ Abbie sighed. ‘I hate cute boys with no character, you’re a fool’
 
 
 
‘A hot fool’ Arie added and pushed him,, he fell down flat
 
 
 
‘Lazy ass’ I said mockingly, someone laughed from afar
 
 
 
‘Lazy boy’ now this is what I call gorgeous. He jogged to us and helped the guy up, they were brothers obviously, they looked alike. ‘Hi, I’m Daniel’ he said smilingly
 
 
 
‘Hello charming’ I found myself say with a flirtatious wink, I bit my lip and laughed dryly
 
 
 
‘Hi, this rude boy is my younger brother, Davis’
 
 
 
‘I’m not a boy’ Davis muttered
 
 
 
‘Nice to meet you, where are you off to?’
 
 
 
‘Just exploring’ I said with a nice smile, he smiled and linked his arm with mine. ‘What are you…..’
 
 
 
‘Shhhh, go with the flow’ he pulled me away and the others followed. ‘You girls attend St Amaranto?’
 
 
 
‘Yea?’
 
 
 
‘Greenland high’ he said skipping beside me
 
 
 
‘I don’t know anywhere here, from San Fransisco’
 
 
 
‘Cool’ we talked about minor things to awesome things, we share the same interest, almost everything. We both hate school, hate books, hate dating (I think) love messing around, art, etc. ‘The one thing I love about your school is the art, especially the carvings’
 
 
 
‘What?’
 
 
 
‘I heard there’s a wh0le room filled with em, I wonder how it feels to be there’ I thought of the place I saw that day
 
 
 
‘Yeah, it is cool’
 
 
 
‘The one I love most is the said stone carving of the bold sailor against the sea’
 
 
 
‘The what’ Arie and I said simultaneously
 
 
 
‘The bold sailor against the sea’ he repeated, I looked at her over my shoulder, she had the look on
 
 
 
‘Okay’
 
 
 
Ariana
 
 
 
The sun didn’t rise before the gurls and I got ready for school, we were anxious to get to school and check out the carving, maybe it was it. I went to wake Zino up with my trumpet, he flew out if bed scre-ming in fright and the ran around his room scre-ming like a fool, the fool he is
 
 
 
‘You can stop running idiot’ he held his chest gasping for breath
 
 
 
‘What is wrong with you!!!!’
 
 
 
‘Your problem’ I smiled and went back to the gurls. We later went to school, uncle dropped us off. We were very early, too early for Anji’s liking, she kept complaining that she needed to sleep and not stress herself
 
 
 
‘Here we are’ she grumbled as we walk into the art room, I looked around, my eyes caught a particular one. A solid white stone carving on the wall, it was a single boat in the middle of a storm, the sea raging and the sky flashing with lightning. A man stood in the boat with his foot high, looking ahead fearlessly with a little glow of wonder in his eyes. A diamond shape star was between two dark storm clouds, it was beautiful
 
 
 
‘Gurls’ I called, they hummed. ‘You might want to see this’ they came to me and looked at what I was seeing. ‘A lonely boat at sea’ I read
 
 
 
‘A single man thy see
 
 
 
A fearless being on deck
 
 
 
Thee afraid of no wreck….’ Anji completed, we looked at each other and exhaled at the same time. ‘Arie, this is for you’ she said with a worried smile. I smiled nervously and stepped closer to the carving not sure of what to do
 
 
 
I looked at the star and saw it glint, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I shut down every sound, every nose and every thought in my head, I felt a strong rush of shock in my brain and let out a painful yelp
 
 
 
‘Breathe Ariana’ Astra whispered in my head. ‘Break the barrier and bring it out, the power is in your mind’
 
 
 
I can do this
 
 
 
Anjiála
 
 
 
Arie winced and whimpered, her body was shaking badly and she was sweating. I entwined our fingers and Abbie did the same.
 
 
 
‘You can do it Ariana, you can do it’
 
 
 
‘We’re here for you, just have faith in yourself and draw energy from….’ I didn’t have enough time to finish my sentence as I felt my strength depleting. She opened her eyes and the blue glow made us gasp. I could feel it, a strong metal call waving to he carving and soon the carving split in two, a little blue gem floated out and stood in front of her face. She released her hands from ours and took it
 
 
 
‘Whoa’ Abbie wowed. Immediately Arie touched it, a surge of blue light rocket through her veins and ran to her temples, her eyes glowed more and a moon crest appeared on her right arm before it disappeared. Two writings wrote itself on both forearms before her eyes returned to normal
 
 
 
‘Are you okay?’ I asked holding her
 
 
 
‘I feel like I got electrified’ she gro-ned. Abbie took her left hand and read the words
 
 
 
‘Taller than trees
 
 
 
Solid walls
 
 
 
Eyes of gold
 
 
 
Sacred orbs’ she looked at us and sighed. ‘Second clue found’
 
 
 
‘At least we have one down’
 
 
 
‘My beautiful hand’ Arie cried looking at her forearm. ‘I didn’t want a tattoo till I turned thirty’
 
 
 
‘I think it will go off later, this one says…’ I trained off and peered at the words. ‘Bravery and strength, knowledge and skills. Upon you, your first power you seek’
 
 
 
‘What does that mean?’ She asked scratching her head
 
 
 
‘Ariana’ I said excitedly. ‘You have your first power’
 
 
 
‘And what is that?’ I looked at her legs and smirked
 
 
 
‘Look at your legs and you’ll get the answer’ I chirped. She checked and gasped
 
 
 
‘My legs! I’ve lost my legs!!!’ She scre-med in fright. Abbie and I laughed. ‘What’s happening!!!!’ She scre-med as her body turned transparent
 
 
 
‘What else? I think you’ve got invisibility’ Abbie said in awe, Arie gasped and then giggled
 
 
 
‘Much more runner way to torment two boys. Zino and Mateo, be ready for me, muah ah ah ah ah ah’
 
 
 
 
Oh boy
