It wouldn't be impossible, but why me? Why not Joe? Why not Luke?

You know that Luke has a bit of a strange element too, reminds me of my best friend.

He, unlike me, when he doesn't control his element, he doesn't burn his friends.

But not as much as me. He manages to conjure up a larger amount of water than normal, he can form ice cubes without problems for a long time, but he never woke up with water in the room because of a dream while well, I assure you that waking up and seeing your pillow on fire is not great.

Perhaps your power will bring us an answer. This will be our little mystery to solve in the next few times, and not the only ones in my opinion.

Our faces, a few feet apart, were far too close, in my opinion.

I've been suspecting something for a while now, but I know I don't feel the same for Will any more than he feels for me. And even if it did, I know my friend Hailee loves her, and I would hate to hurt her. I am saved by Jo, who storms back into my room.

I did as soon as possible, I had the chance to meet Luke.

Will ices the burn, and we watch it heal. Luke, I and two other highs in our year took a Magical First Aid course. When we saw how quickly the ice made us heal, we both assumed it was our nature, but I'm beginning to doubt that and will put that effect on Luke's characteristics with his element instead.

So like that, we still don't know how to manage our element? Luke asks, leaning against my door not even a minute later.

I had no trouble understanding what girls could find in him. Not far from my height, with his rather unique blue eyes and his strawberry blond hair tending more towards red, he had a certain charm.

Yes, and hello to you too, Luke.

Hi Nina, need a little help with your stuff?

Yes, please help me! Will begs him. I won't survive otherwise!

Stop it, Will, we all know that...

My best friend doesn't let Jo finish her sentence by covering her mouth.

And then, you too, you...

Do not touch me !

As our best friends continue to argue once more, I smile at Luke from across the room, knowing exactly what he's thinking.

I love it, it brightens up my days, Luke smiles at me, joining me on the bed.

They are serious, aren't they?

So serious.

Maybe it's time we separate them? As usual, you take Jo, I take care of Will?

Besides, one day we have to explain ourselves, why aren't you the one who takes Jo?

Because I don't want to get scratched by Jo the savage, and I'm the one taking Will because he's afraid of me.

"And also because Jo she loves you", even if this sentence, I did not say it aloud.

I see Luke roll his eyes before grabbing my best friend by the waist and pulling her towards the door, while I push Will towards my bed, pulling him away from my best friend. Resigned, Will sits down on my bed and I do the same beside him. We look at our best friends and exchange a smile. Will knows as well as I do that Jo is not insensitive to Luke.

They're cute, I say just loud enough for Will to be the only one to hear me.

You have finished ? Luke asks.

Let me go stupid, that I tear off the head to the other! Jo yells at us, struggling.

It means no, if ever you had a doubt, Will specifies unnecessarily.

And you, are you finished?

I have a fire girl who can't control herself next to me and I've already seen what you did to your cushions, I'm not taking the risk.

Will gives me that smirk that I hate, and he knows it. He knows that I find that smile cute, me like all girls, we're not going to lie to each other, and he plays it. I jump to my feet and push Will with all my might, but his reflexes are much faster than I thought, he grabs my wrist and I slump on top of him. I hear the quiet laughter of Will and Luke.

I don't care, I'm not going to move.

Haha, I'm done! exclaims my best friend in a giggle, sitting down on the ground, tears in her eyes.

I've always liked this lightness of laughter in her. And his special laugh always made me smile.

You're lucky that I love you, I wonder how I manage to support you, breathes Luke, smiling all the same, Come on Nina, get up, your things won't be tidying up on their own.

Neither Will nor I are moving.

Very well, you will have wanted it.

No sooner is her sentence finished than I feel the icy water falling on us, which further increases my friend's giggles. That's the problem with Luke, and water people in general: they can conjure up water out of nowhere, and Luke in huge amounts.

Luke!

I told you. And I tell you that we should go eat in about ten minutes, that you were supposed to have finished your move a while ago, so if I'm already there with the kindness to help you, don't yell at me?

Already ? I change and I arrive.

Drenched from head to toe just like Will, I grab some stuff and change in my best friend's room, Will changing in hers, two floors below Jo and Luke. When we come back, almost everything was tidied up.

Thank you very much for helping me.

Yes, yes, but I'm hungry, so come! Will exclaims, leaving my room without expecting us.

You're always hungry, Will, don't you want to think about something else sometimes? my best friend asks, following close behind, bickering again.

These two, it's quite a story.

I wonder how long they'll last without killing each other.

And especially which one will kill the other first, I add, smiling, following our two friends from a distance.

Will, of course.

But not at all, it's one hundred percent Jo.

We'll ask the others. And between you and me, who would it be?

It will depend on the context, in my opinion. Elementally, we both have control issues, but since I'm supposed to have my power in not too long, it would probably be me who survived. But we love each other too much to kill each other.

You love me too much, I never said that. By the way, about controlling our elements, don't you think we should go see your aunt?

She surely knows it very well, the teachers have surely spoken to her about it. Besides, it's not as if she could help us control him better.

My aunt is the headmistress of the school, rather young, with red highlights much darker than the color of my hair.

Not us, just you. It happens that I have some control problems, but it's rare, whereas you, it happens quite often, and you're dangerous on top of that. Where I have water on my bedroom floor, you burn your friends.

But I'm not doing it on purpose.

I know, it was just to show you the difference, that's why I think it would be a good idea to talk about it. Maybe you are lucky and the appearance of your power will make your element magically controllable. Or on the contrary that you would be completely out of control.

Not reassuring your last sentence.
