I wanted to ask Jaime a question but then something was being said on the airport's broadcast and I lost track of what I wanted to ask him,
After then Principal Anderson was shouting for all of us to gather around, it was time to get going,
Even though it's a school trip, Dad had went along to book a first class for me, urggh I thought I had a talk with him about this?,
I really wanted to get to know what it felt like traveling in the economic class,
To top it all, Pam had being booked for first class as well!
'Hey Jaime, where are you?' I opened our mind connection.
'Why?, you wanna tell me something?' He asked, acting like he wasn't interested what I have to say.
'Just wanted to know if you're —'
'In first class?' He took the words out of my mouth.
'Yeah' I replied
'Yes I'm here but don't look for me' he said quickly
'Ok-ay'
who knows?, maybe he just wants to be alone.
I sat down on a comfy looking chair, a window side seat, even I was happy and content to be alone, at least now I'll be able to think of the reason why my parents didn't want me to go to America, California to be precise,
they might have thought I didn't see the strain on their faces and the way Dad tensed when I mentioned America but I did, and now I'm curious and want to know why they didn't want me to come, I want to know why I even want to come!
Trips, parties, get togethers has never been my thing, and I'd rather sleep all day or run all day if I had to ever go to a party, but why now?
Why do I feel like if I don't go on this trip, I'll loose something important, why am I—
"Hey there"
I didn't have to look up to know who it was,
'There goes having some me time' I rolled my eyes as she sat beside me.
"Oh what do you want?" I asked as she settled in.
"I could ask you the same, what do you want?" She asked bitterly.
"I guess it depends on what you mean by the question" I replied her.
"What?" She just seem more confused.
"When I asked you what you want, I meant, what do you want from me?, why are you sitting here" I stared out of the window, everywhere was bustling with activities.
"And I meant what do you want from Jaime?, why are going with us on this trip?"
I could feel her glare, I could sense the bitterness and the jealousy in her heart for me, if I wanted to I could make her sleep or shut up right now, meddle with her brain cells, let her think of something else, probably a uncle she never had in Paris,
I could make her think better of me, even fall in love with me so much that she'll worship the ground I walk on,
I could make her forget having a crush on Jaime, paint stories in her head that'll make her belief that somewhere her true love awaits her, yes I could do a lot of things to her but I won't, because yet again I remembered Mom's words and my personal view on the situation,
it feels good having someone to argue with now and then, that reminds me, I still have to give her a reply to her questions
"Were you having some thoughts or planing some stupid things in your empty head to help you get my boyfriend?, well I hope not, because I promise you, you won't like the result of your actions" I gave her a warning, for a moment she stopped thinking,
her thinking cells stilled, I was relieved, I don't care if she's there,
I can just make her fade out of my mind and do my thinking as long as she doesn't speak and interrupt me—
"What do you mean by that?, are you planning to do something bad to me?" She asked, her brows furrowed in frown.
"What do you think?, that I have time to do something bad to you?, and here's an advice for you, If you stop frowning and start smiling more, maybe, just maybe Jamie might like you a little" I nodded my head and blinked my eyes in mock pity.
"You, just who do you think you are to advice me?" she said, even though I could see she was trying so hard not to frown, taking my advice eh?, good girl, I almost patted her on the head,
That gave me an idea, oh well I'm not trying to use my powers but...
"Cat got your tongue?, answer me" she stared at me, I could see the pattern of her brain, she was starting to think of things to say, OK that's enough.
"Do you understand what you have to do now?" I smiled at her.
She looked at me without actually seeing me, she stood up and turned
"Wait" I stopped her.
"Here, take your stuff" I handed over her pretty big purse to her.
"You can go now, thank you" I nodded, she just turned and went away, to her I was just a stranger and it would remain so till I'm ready to let go of her, for now I've sent her in search of Jaime, that rascal had told me he didn't want to be found, well now he'll have to deal with the love of his life,
The smile on my face was a merry one, I had painted many memories of Jaime being her lover and boyfriend for the past two years, now he'll have to deal with her till we're in America, good riddance!, now I finally have some peace and quiet.
'Hey Lexie, are you there?' My wolf's quietness didn't really bother me, though she wouldn't miss out on seeing Pam act like that, but well Lexie's crazy, who knows?, she might be in some place deep in my head going about her own business, maybe I should too.
*California, AMERICA*

After hours the plane finally got to it's destination, of course no one wants to stay seated on board anymore, we got out of the plane and wow, it felt good to be out again, even though it felt nice in there, I was beginning to get bored from lack of activity.
The teachers went on behalf of the students to get their luggages and ordered us to stay put together,
Everybody was tired already but they enjoy watching as Pam kept clinging on to Jaime, she kept giving him kisses all over,
"Would you please stop this?, I've told you already, I'm not your lover and we've not been dating for two years" Jaime tried to make her see reason but she just kept clinging on to him.
It was fun making her do what I want, but now I had to free her from her illusions, I touched her mind and was about to erase her illusions but then, a word caught my attention, I left Pam's head to look at Kelvin.
"What did you say Kelvin?" I asked before I could stop myself,
"Why?, you're interested in me now?" He wiggled his brow, shameless idiot,
Why did I ask anyways when I could just reach out and take what I want.
"Don't worry, I don't wanna know" I shrugged and turned away from him,
I made time stop and rewind it, everything replayed, from the part where Jaime told Pam to let go, now I turned to Kelvin and listened
"California!, doesn't it look amazing guys?" He grinned like a fool
"What!" My heart raced, I returned everything back to it's place,
Mom said never to mess with nature, it could cause problems, and honestly I could've just probbed his mind and found my answer, but then I could damage his mind or cause him pain if I did it too roughly, and I wasn't in a mood to be gentle,
but right now I don't care about what I've done or could've done, I just feel scared, we were going to some place called Atlanta right?, then why are we here?.
"Alright kids, we have to get going, take your bags, our bus is waiting!" Principal Anderson exclaimed in excitement, I wasn't feeling any.

I felt the wind stop as I stepped down from the Jet,
A month in Spain, speaking another language, convincing the Elders of Moon light Pack and running some business report on my Companies should have made me tired and my wolf restless,but no, I feel refreshed and expecting, expecting what exactly?,
A few moments back I felt really tired but after stepping down from the Jet, I feel good, and why has the wind suddenly stopped?, and what's that scent?, that rich dark chocolate smell?
Like the wind, my brain stopped immediately.
