Winter removed her coat and placed it on the hanger.
Tobias walked in like a deflated balloon, his eyes puffy from the tears. He glared at Winter with vengeful eyes remembering the amount of times she made him cry all the way back! They walked back the whole distance cause she didn't feel like going through a portal. His hateful eyes bore holes into her back. The latter just shrug nonchalantly not even turning her back to face him.
Tobias"!!!"
He walked to the kitchen and took the phone.
"I want to order dinner, what will you get?"
Tobias asked Winter in the living room.
"Whatever"
Winter replied indifferently and entered her room.
She sat on the bed taking a pillow into her embrace.
Tobias entered minutes later with food placing it on her coffee table.
"Watch out for the rice, it is a tab bit salty"
Tobias said giving a small laugh. He sat down on the floor beside the coffee table holding his spoon ready to eat.
Winter signed and sat down with him.
The both of them started eating silently with just the noise of Tobias chewing and groaning in delight.
"This food is the best!"
"It's like sex for my tongue"
"My tongue is experiencing an orgasm"
Tobias continued his groaning. He looked up from his eyelashes to see Winter reaction to his words.
"Mm" he signed and buried his head again fully focused on his food now.
"I want to look for my parents"
Winter said solemnly almost like a whisper.
Tobias paused his chewing. He looked up with a mouth full of food looking goofy but that still didn't bring a smile to Winter's face.
She looked at him indifferently her eyes filled with loneliness.
Tobias gulped down the food scrunching his face as it huge ball when down his throat.
"Why now?"
Winter looked up at him surprised. Most people would have said 'so you are not Josephina daughter?!' or 'why look for those jerks!'
Tobias knew what she was thinking and smile. He didn't say anything about it just kept one smiling
"You didn't look for them you whole life but why now?"
"I need answers from them" Winter replied.
"What answers?"
Tobias blurted but quickly shook his head. That question sounded odd and totally should not be heard from him. She told him earlier that he was not important enough.
"You can't understand" Winter smiled for the first time since they started coming home and entered the apartment.
Tobias eyes dimmed and he nodded.
"Okay"
Winter saw him but didn't have any energy to bother with it.
Her parents needs to give her answers.
She went to Josephina office today and happened to come later than Joseph and Jeremy. When she reached the door of her mother's office she heard her discussion with the boards.
They were talking about something, about her. She listened on some of their conversation and realized something! Something dangerous concerning the future of everyone in Powers school!...and possibly the whole world!
From listening on she decided to get to know herself better and the best way to do that is by knowing her roots her begining. From her parents!
That's right! She was adopted by Josephina who saw a baby outside the gates of Powers school in the middle of Winter. The surroundings of the baby is frozen indicating the baby have been there a while but the baby itself didnt freeze and still seem on good health playing happily. Hence her name Winter.
Pretty sure Josephina would name her Josephine if she were her real daughter.
Maybe her name is just to remind Josephina that she is just adopted.
"So that means we have two wanted notice to pass out"
Tobias laughed infecting Winter with his laughter.
"Yeah you just reminded me" Winter said loudly.
"I saw him today!"
"Who?!" Tobias asked his eyes shining with gossip.
"The kiss st.." Winter quickly hit stop in her sentence " Yellow eyes!"
Tobias smirked mischievously and leaned in to her side" what about a kiss st.?"
Winter blushed crimson red. She coughed covering up her embarrassment.
"Oh am I right?" Tobias teased.
"What are you talking about?"
She feigned ignorance.
"He kissed you right?!"
Winter choked coughing hard. She grabbed her water and drink slowly in small sips.
"The kiss must be so awesome for you to want more"
"Pfft"
Winter sprayed the water out forcefully! She patted her chest trying to calm down quickly. Her face had turned red like a cooked lobster the red quickly spreading throughout her neck and ears.
Tobias laughed heartily. He stared at her ungraceful appearance with water running out of her nose and eyes. He would always tease her about this for the rest of the year.
"Stop your nonsense!" Winter said trying to sound cold and indifferent but her appearance ruining it completely.
Tobias face a teasing smile and mockingly smiled.
"Okay"
Winter nodded relieved Tobias didn't intend on teasing anymore.
"But seriously the kiss must be that good" Tobias laughed running out of the room Winter's plate barely hitting his head as the door slammed close.
Winter ran to locked the door.
She leaned on it holding her heaving chest. She took deep breaths trying to calm down. Her heart kept misbehaving refusing to stop beating hard.
She raised up her trembling fingers and touched her lips. Her tongue lightly passed over her lips like she could still taste the kiss stealer lips.
She laughed and walked back to the coffee table cleaning up.
"That fool is right."
"The kiss did taste.... very good"
She packed the junks in a garbage bag and left them at a corner in her room.
She walked back to the bed and slumped in it.
"Diego" she muttered sadly.
The former first years have gone out of the school for their exam. The final exams were usually taken in an enchanted jungle out of Powers school vicinity. The magic would be too intense and without guidance and can lead to major destruction.
Diego must be facing the battle of his life now.
"He is a coward!"
"But he must survive"
