 closed my eyes, wondering if this was a tactic to get me around or if it was just for concentration.

"Okay, what are you feeling right now?"

I listened curiously inside myself and tried to find out what I was feeling. There was just ... nothing.

"Nothing at all."

I could literally hear him put on such a smug smile again, yes yes, read that right, heard! Suddenly I felt warm breath on my skin and shortly afterwards warm, soft lips on mine. My brain was switched off, I had stopped thinking, that apparently wasn't too difficult for me.

At first I stiffened, then I kissed back. Thinking wasn't an option right now. He pulled away from me again and I opened my eyes. I was shocked, excited, angry - furious - and well, I was seething inside me.

"And what are you feeling now?" He asked me and grinned at me.

I would have loved to slap myself because I had actually fallen for him. That bullshit. I probably had to show him where the hammer was hanging, this conceited, arrogant, self-loving snob. Grrr.

First and foremost, I was mad at myself, I mean I had kissed back and - yeah, Damien was a damn good kisser. Of course there was a better kisser, only I hadn't met him just yet.

"Anger?"

Damien screwed up his mouth in mockery.

"Not more?"

"You do?" I replied, glaring at him angrily.

I didn't even notice my teacher John coming, he looked over my shoulder.

"So? How far are you already?" He asked me.

I wondered if he had just seen Damien kiss me. That would be a little embarrassing now, more than a little embarrassing.

"I just can't study with Damien. Somehow he's not quite there," I said, pretending to be seriously disappointed. Strangely enough, it was also the truth, after all, we hadn't made any progress here. Oh God! How could I even think about class right now? I definitely had one or more screws loose.

Damien growled menacingly, like a mad animal. And I couldn't help but grin. John frowned in confusion, he didn't seem to understand what was going on between us.

"If you think so. Lucian will be there next hour as a support. Maybe he can teach you more. You have already met him, I think, haven't you?"

"Oh, yes. Lucian is really nice. I'm sure I can learn more from him," I told John and the bad self, rubbing my hands and grinning.

Actually it was really mean of me to incite Damien against Lucian, after all that was none of my business.

Damien didn't look very enthusiastic, his face darkened like a hot storm cloud. He ran a hand through his hair so that the hair was completely messy again.

I would love to run my hand through his dark hair and ... wow. My thoughts wandered in the opposite direction again.

The gong literally saved me before the situation got any worse. Most of the students had already grabbed their clutter and disappeared through the door, just like June.

I was pretty much the last, excluded from Damien. As I got my bag and headed for the exit, someone grabbed my wrist and forced me to turn around. It was Damien. Of course it was Damien. 

"Let. Me. Go. Immediately," I snarled at him.

But he didn't even think of letting go of me. To free himself from his grip was hopeless, he had steel hands. 

"Paws off!" I snapped at him again.

I slowly began to panic, after all the tin box was empty and only the two of us stayed here.

"Man, Apryl. Wait a minute. I'm sorry ... I ... I just shouldn't have kissed you earlier, that was ... wrong of me," he pushed around.

Wow. Was he just apologizing to me? I must have misheard. 

"What?" I asked again to make sure I had misheard.

Damien just sighed, then let go of me. I quickly pushed past him and left the tin box and Damien behind me and headed straight for the classroom. I never turned to him as I left. However, I felt his piercing looks on my back.

It was only when I got to the classroom door and was about to turn the door handle that it occurred to me that we had long since finished school.

    Did you actually listen to me?" It came from June."Huh?" I made absently. Since I had been somewhere else with my thoughts, I unfortunately could not fully listen to her."The ball ..." June said slowly and looked at me in disbelief."You're telling me that you haven't listened at all for the last two hours? Then I'll have to explain everything again," June groaned annoyed."So it was about that Halloween party, right?""Exactly. We need real costumes, something original. No Twilight nonsense and no discounter scraps.""Okay, okay," I said, holding up my hands soothingly.She told me all over again, leaving no details out, and telling me what she had heard from the party last year. Of course she hadn't even been to school then, but she had asked around a little, as she also told me. At some point I ignored some of what she was telling me because she spoke without a period.She cheered excitedly, and I really wonder

    What actually happened? I just remember how all the devices flew through the air," I said, thinking of the little tornado that had swept through the room."That wasn't the machine, honey. It was you," Lucian told me.I just skipped over the 'sweetness', I really didn't feel like arguing, and above all no energy. Should I now claim damages, or what exactly did he mean by that? I wasn't Bruce Almighty after all, was I? Maybe the tornadoes were one of my skills?"We believe that your ability is the element of air. Every millennium exactly four of us are born with elements. This is actually quite unusual as each ability of us is unique. Each other's abilities are sometimes repeated over the millennia, however it is never exactly the same, but rather a facet of it. However, the elements are repeated more or less regularly and those who have these abilities mostly perform some miracles. Caesar was also one of us gifted. He ruled the element earth, that was carved in s

    Damien pulled the metal thing down a little further in front of my face and then put it on me like glasses. It even had temples like this and I was kind of forced to look through them.Then he fastened my arms and legs with leather straps and tested them again to make sure that they were really tight enough."How long does it usually take?" I asked him.I was a little intimidated by this device. Most of all, I was worried that I was buckled up like a convict. I couldn't move either, I'd already tried that."It depends," Damien muttered."And for what?""You will see."Damien went to the door and locked it so that it was now pitch dark. This room had no windows or lamps and every second it only got more creepy.The nerdy, whose name I still didn't know, squealed like a cornered guinea pig. I hadn't noticed that she was still in the room. What was she doing here? That wasn't a cinema."Okay, let's go", with the

    Yeah ... he's just as hot as Damien. I would say it's a matter of taste," June said and her thoughts were probably somewhere else."Probably more of an aberration of taste. His ego really needs to be rubbed down like the one on it. He probably expects every female being to adore him and -""It's Damien, after all. I mean ... it's Damien!"A few people turned to us and grinned knowingly before moving on."June, I think we have to go back to class," I said as the corridor was now emptying faster and faster."What a bummer, next we have skills. Come on now!" June suddenly said impatiently to me and pretended to be texting her the whole time.We went to the said subject in a hurry. I was relieved to find that Teacher wasn't there yet. We were in a gym or something like that.The entire gym was made of metal, except for the floor and windows, and security devices that stood around. First aid kits were attached to a wall every two meters, t

    Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep ..."Where's that goddamn alarm clock?" I growled half asleep.Rest, finally. June had turned the alarm off. Why did my mornings always start with the high-pitched ringing of an alarm clock?"Shit! It's almost half past seven!" She shouted, shocked, and literally jumped out of bed.Now my lazy bum started moving too, I threw back the covers and put on my pink plush slippers.I shuffled into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. You could call me a scarecrow, my hair was completely knotted and I had dark circles.I owed the dark circles to the horror films yesterday evening - or rather today in the morning.I fought my way through my hair with my brush and after what felt like hours I had untied it. A little shocked, I looked at my brush. I hair like a dog or some other creature.I smacked a little more powder on my face, or rather on the dark circles, and smeared the edges with my index finger.
