The next day I was determined to stay on my path of figuring out how to control the abilities i was given. I wanted to focus on the more important things, than focusing on relationships, feelings and emotions. I learned that emotions would only get in the way and slow me down.
As I got out of bed, ready to finally start my daily routine and my first day of training I saw Sydney still in bed sleeping.
I went over to her side of the bed and started to shake her awake "Sydney, wake up you sleepyhead. It's time for school." I said calmly with a smile.
Sydney rolled over, slowly opening her eyes "Okay okay I'll wake up. But I'm not going in the shower first." she said smiling.
I told myself not to be blinded by the cuteness of her smile. But it was to hard not to be. "Fine, I'll go in first." I said with a brighter smile.
As I got up from the bed I went to the drawer to get my clothes. I did my usual routine as I always did in the morning and than Sydney had done her's.
We both races down the stairs like we were still little kids, to find my mother in the kitchen.
"Roes be careful." She said smiling.
"Sorry mom, I'm just super excited to start my training today after school." I said smiling.
I never really fully understood what the people that had been affected were really able to do. I wasn't so sure what would happen if I tried to use them.
"Honey I'm sorry but we're not training at all." My mother said in a sad voice.
I was confused "What do you mean we're not training? Why not?" I asked
"Honey, back when I was with your father. I had trained him because he said if I did he might be able to stop the government and restore peace. But it didn't work." She said with a sad tone.
"Mom, I'm not dad. I'm not like him. I don't even know my father. You can't assume things will turn out negative. I understand it did last time with dad. But even though I have dad's strengths I have your strength to." I said hoping it was believable.
My inspiring words had worked and seconds after speaking the words my mother had put a bright smile on her face.
"Okay honey. You have convinced me. We will start your training today after school. Just remind me and we will start right away." My mother said.
"Thank you Mom." I said while hugging her.
"Your welcome. Now go, School will start soon so you two need to start walking." My mother said letting go of me.
"Okay. Goodbye Ms. Manner. We will see you later." Sydney said heading to the door.
Sydney and I walked the same way we always did. We had both walked in silence. I didn't want to say anything because I knew if I did she would ask something similar to the question she had asked last night, and this time I was going to tell the truth no matter what she had asked. I wasn't someone who wanted to lie about my feelings of others. But last night I had lied to the most adoring person I could trust and I had felt so bad about the lie, and I was sure that I was going to lie again and again, and every time I lied. I would feel worse and worse. But I couldn't handle the lie anymore.
So half way through the walk. I stopped Sydney.
"Rose what's wrong?" She asked me will a confused face.
"I need to say something. I need to say it now, before we go to school." I said with my head down.
"Okay. Go ahead Rose." She said.
I took a breath than started to talk. "I lied last night when answering your question about the kiss. I lied to you for week. When you leaned in to kiss me I wanted to kiss you but I was just to nervous. Than when you asked me the question about the kiss I was shaking and I didn't want to admit that I felt fireworks and I felt so many feelings for you I couldn't say it out loud." I said crying.
Sydney put her hand on my cheek and lifted my head so that we were both facing each other close.
"Rose, don't cry. It's okay to be afraid." She said.
"I also didn't want to tell you because I'm already different enough. The government in even on my back for being different." I said with tears streaming down my face.
Sydney wiped the tears off my face and kissed my forehead "It will all be okay. We are both different. We will both work together and help each other." She said.
"Thank you Sydney." I said with a smile.
Sydney smiled.
After the talk we had, we felt a strong connection. But that connection had broke when we arrived at school with everyone staring at us.
Trevor walked up to us "I can't believe you would keep this type of secret from me. I thought we were friends. But I guess I was wrong."
Sydney and I were both confused "what are you talking about?"
Trevor shock his head and I could tell he was more upset than ever "So Sydney your not bisexual?"
Sydney was in full shock and I was more shocked than ever to hear Trevor speak out loud the most biggest secret Sydney had tried to keep.
Sydney ran into the girl bathroom crying. I knew that I was the only one who really cared about her cry.
"What the hell Trevor! Why would you say that!" I yelled.
"You made that mistake when you didn't tell me yourself!" Trevor yelled back.
"Trevor! That secret was important to Sydney. Even when you did find out. You should have kept it to yourself!" I shouted.
"Well I'm sorry you feel that way, because now the whole school knows." Trevor said in a serious tone.
"Trevor I can't believe you. You know, this is exactly why we didn't even think of telling you, because we knew you would do something stupid like this. Thanks a lot." I said.
Before Trevor opened his mouth to speak, I pushed him aside and raced into the bathroom to find Sydney on the bathroom floor crying her eyes out.
"Sydney please, don't sit on the floor. These floors don't get cleared. The whole school knows that." I said softy.
Sydney finally stopped crying and raised her head. "Like the whole school knows I'm bisexual now." She said getting up and wiping her tears.
I finished wiping her tears for her. "Listen. Life isn't going to be sunshine and rainbows. You have me and that's all you need. Who cares what people say. I'm going through a lot to and we will deal with everything together." I said smiling at her.
Sydney leaned in and kissed me. "I...I...I love you."
I was shocked. Three words that meant a lot to me. That meant something new and real, and at the same time, I had a feeling deep inside me that was waiting for those words to be said. But the only thing I could say while still in shock was, "Wh...what?"
Sydney ran out of the bathroom before I could say anything else.
I wanted to run after her. Tell her how I felt about her. But as soon as I walked out the bathroom to do so. Just had disappeared, and I had no idea where she had went.
