Chapter 4 - ⇍ Chapter 4 ⇏

Rikatsu woke up and got dressed in a half white half black t-shirt, jeans, and some converse. Kao was still sleeping, Rikatsu sighs, in irritation.

"Wake your ass up! We're gonna be late! Unless you wanna get your ass beat by Grace," Rikatsu said and Kao jumped out of bed,

And quickly got dressed in the same outfit but with a red shirt that says boss in gold.

He also threw on a jacket because it should be chilly.

Kao flew down the stairs, Rikatsu shakes his head and followed his brother down the stairs. They all sat down at the table.

Ariya had finished putting down breakfast on the table. She sat down with Akio and the twins sat down.

They had boiled and scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon, and sausages.

They ate, "Bye mom, dad," The twins said simultaneously and walked to school and saw the gang in the front of the school.

Grace and Kao were matching, they were wearing the same outfit. Grace was wearing the same shirt except it was slightly cropped.

Everyone else was wearing a jacket. "Are you not cold? Not even chilly?" Arai asked. "Nah, I am the hottest out of the group remember?" Grace said and winked jokingly.

"Still don't you want to blend in? How did you leave the house like that without Kai making you change," Kao said.

"Daddy? He tried to get me to change, but I reminded him of his debt. Then he was sobbing on the ground and I walked out the door after saying bye to my mom," Grace said.

"Oh, Grace, did you ever think you were bullying your dad?" Kao asked. "Nope, I'm just telling it how it is, but he just can't handle it," Grace said matter-of-factly.

"We were waiting for you, let's go," Momo said and was walking side by side with Arai, who looked extremely nervous.

"We're in school! I'm not gonna hurt you, plus your training is almost over, You'll almost be as good as me," Momo said confidently making Arai smile.

"Gotcha to smile, now come on," Momo said and then went to class with Arai. Everyone else was in shock.

"Who else thought that was weird?" Rikatsu asked. Everyone else nodded. "What's been going on between those two?" Kao asked.

"I don't know, but we gotta go too, See ya T, Rikatsu," Grace said and left while walking and talking to the class with Kao.

"Shall we?" Rikatsu asked. "We shall," Teagan said, playing along, and they walked to class.

Everyone was excited about the end of the day, but it came a lot slower than yesterday. When the final bell rang.

They were out of their class as fast as they could, as they didn't like crowds. Teagan went to the shadows to avoid confrontation.

Arai being slower than the others, he was stuck in a crowded area outside by all the students, not knowing he was a part of the only gang in the school.

Grace and Momo with Rikatsu and Kao, and they were walking down the stairs. It got silent and everyone stopped moving and stared.

Teagan not liking to miss out on the fun joined them. Then people made way for them, not wanting to get hurt.

Arai lost his balance but was caught by Momo. The people pushing him around to get out of school eyes widen.

"Look at that slut. Put on some real clothes Slut!" A girl named Sharay yelled and pointed at Grace and laughed with her friends.

"Sharay before you come for me about being a slut look at yourself! We both know you're cheating on your boyfriend with his best friend, And, you're cheating on him with the swimming team captain and the list goes on. You're basically passing yourself around like a football," Grace says sassily while holding pictures on her phone of Sharay being with all the men she was cheating with...

"Watch yourself or I'm gonna post these," Grace said and walked away with everyone behind her.

"Don't challenge the Eternals, for we will be here long after you're gone," Teagan said in a very serious voice.

"That's my right-hand man! Coming up with a slogan," Grace said and hugged Teagan who lightly pats her back in return.

"Alright, I got the new masks! But instead of a skull, sorry Arai, I put Eternals and the natural colors of your element on it," Grace said and handed out the masks.

"Now go home and change and meet me at the meadow where we officially met each other. Wear the masks. Dismissed," Grace said, and everyone went home and changed into training clothes, and walked to the field.

"Training as usual. Dismissed," Grace said, and they all went to a spot in the field except Grace and Kao who trained in an abandoned parking lot nearby.

"Right jab!" Momo shouts and Arai did the motion on a dummy that Momo brought. "Right jab till you knock it down!" Momo shouts.

Arai jabs around 10 times till it falls. "Left Jab! Same as before!" Momo shouts. Arai does it again, but with his left-hand.

"Elemental practice. Hands-on the grounds and think of a simple patch of flowers, imagine them growing in front of you. Don't push yourself," Momo said and walked backward.

Arai slowly pushes his elemental into the ground and a patch of tulips surrounded Momo.

"Good job! Try something more complex! Like spelling something simple. Like your name or mine," Momo said while laying down.

Arai put his hands on the ground and spelled his name and then Momo's around the patch of flowers that Momo was laying in with his elemental.

Arai's name was spelled out in tree saplings. Momo's name was spelled out of blue irises.

He also spelled everyone else's name but with different plants/flowers. Graces was spelled out in red roses.

He spelled Rikatsu was made with oak tree saplings. Teagan was spelled with black orchids.

And Kao's was spelled out in a locust tree saplings. Momo made it rain to help the plants grow, feeling bad for a plant that she took the water out of when she first met the boys.

The tree saplings started to sprout out more and the flowers flourished
