 Later her friend was asleep, so Kendra went out alone to eat something. She thought about taking something to her friend, but she didn't know when she'd wake up.

 

 She took his plate and took some food. In the crowd he saw Jack. She wanted to wave, but hesitated to see that he was accompanied by two boys and two girls. 

 

 "Who are they? - Kendra thought.

 

 She ignored that thought and went in search of a table. Without noticing anyone approached. 

 

 "Are you all alone?

 

The girl jumped up, scared. 

 

"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. " said Jack sitting next to her. 

 

 "All right, I just didn't expect it. " laughed. 

 

"Are we disturbing the couple? "said a female voice laughing. 

Next to Kendra was a redhead girl with blue-anil eyes. The blonde had never seen eyes of that color. The girl also wore a uniform and had a necklace shaped like a dolphin.

 

"Ahn... We didn't ... " she tried to say. 

 

 "Ignore, my sister is always like this, inconvenient " said a boy who appeared next to the red-haired.

 

 He was a little taller than Sister, his hair was the same color as hers, but his eyes were sea-green. On his neck was a dragon-shaped necklace.

 

"Well, Elliot, looks like I found a new friend. She and her sister came in recently, from what I heard. Right? " said the redhead to Kendra.

 

 "Well... " tried to answer.

 

"Poor thing, not bad enough and already has to endure you. " said the second girl, black skin and orange eyes.

 

 "How rude you are. You don't even introduce yourselves. "said the last boy, the second tallest after Jack, black hair, pulled eyes and almost purple blue eyes.

 

 "These are the twins, Elliot and Isabella Amnus. They control fire and water. And they feel people's feelings. "said he pointing to the redheads. "Jack Prince you already know. " Then pointed to the black girl. "That's Mirelle Seles, she controls the earth as well as being a hunter. "Finally " pointed to himself " I'm Rick Wing, and I can teleport and my element is air.

 

When he approached her to kiss her face, Elliot stopped him. 

 

 "The girl doesn't need you flirting with her, asshole. She already has Jack.

 

Rick seemed offended and began arguing against the phrase spoken by the other. As the two argued, Isa sat down with them. 

"Pleasure, my name is Kendra. " said shy. She hadn't understood half of what they had said. 

 

 "Don't be scared, Kendra. They're just like that " laughed the redhead. "How long have you been dating? You and Jack?

 

 "Date? 

 

"Don't you know what that is? " said Mirelle.

 

"I'm not from here. I don't know the customs " she explained. "Actually... " hesitated " I didn't understand much of what you said. 

 

 She continued as she squeezed her fingers, apprehensive. It was rhythmic around strangers.

 

 "That's when you meet and relate to someone before you get married. " said Isa. 

 

"How? Isn't that kind of immoral for you? " she asked surprised, that wasn't normal in her world.

 

"Not at all. " Mirelle replied with a quiet smile.

 

"We're not dating. We're just friends. " said Jack.

 

"I know. " the girls replied. 

 

 Kendra stared at him because that sentence had bothered her so much? 

 

"And where is Mira? " he changed the subject. 

 

"She's not feeling very well. " she said staring.

 

The signal was heard ringing. 

 

 "Time to go. " said Rick.

 

The students began to get up and go to their dormitories. 

 

 "Come on. " Kendra heard Jack say. 

 

He pulled her by the hand, taking her to the opposite side of the dorms. 

 

 "Where are we going? Don't you have a class?

 

 "You'll see. " He smiled. 

 

Kendra followed Jack through the halls of the school. 

 

 "Where are we going? " asked again apprehensively.

 

"Shii. " he said putting his fingers under his lips. 

 

 They walked a long way down stairs. Jack opened a bluish glass door. They entered a garden full of colorful and vibrant flowers. They walked among the flowers.

 

 "How beautiful! " Kendra exclaimed in awe.

 

 "Isn't it? But there is something even better. I have a gift for you.

 

 The boy touched the ground and a hole opened, revealing water. Hot water.

 

 "I'll be right back. Don't touch the water, okay? If you can't burn.

 

The young man dived. 

 

 "Jack! Jack! Are you okay? " Kendra asked when she noticed he was taking too long to get back.

 

 The boy came back and brought something with him. It was a bracelet with dark blue stones.

 

"Are you okay? " she said running to him. " Don't you have something for you to dry off? 

 

 "Don't worry. I control the fire, remember? I'll be dry soon. 

 

 She nodded still worried.

 

 "Here! For you. " extended the bracelet.

 

 "It's beautiful, thank you! " said surprised and grateful.

 

"It's more than a jewel. " he said putting it on his wrist. "Do you still have those dreams?

 

 "Not yesterday, but... it was an exception. " Her face took on a grim expression.

 

The boy stroked his face. 

 

 "This object will help you sleep well. Premonitions can come at other times, but at least you'll sleep peacefully. This can also help you nullify them for a while, but only when you learn to control the air and insert it into your stones. 

 

"Thank you. " She hugged him. " I can't believe you did it for me. You could have drowned. Besides, why did you hide him there? " she asked angrily.

 

"I'm a great swimmer, despite my element " laughed. "Well, if I took you to my room you might think wrong things about me. And I didn't want to leave you alone at this hour. So I thought I'd hide it here " smiled. " And... I'd do anything for you.

 

When he said that she walked away, ashamed. 

 

 "You can always count on me, too, Jack. No matter what. 

 

He kissed your forehead.

 

 "Come on. I'll leave you in your room. 

 

Kendra entered the room and saw Mira sleeping. She lay down on the bed and tried to do the same. But it was hard because her heart couldn't calm down. Jack and she had a bond, a bond from the first time their eyes met.
