°Maddie°

"Hi! Steph!" I said as a girl passed my locker.

She waved and smiled back then walked on further.

As I rummaged through my locker for my English textbook, I thought of the training we had the day before.

We looked so cool, transforming into the suits and holding those weapons.

Especially Trevor. He looked so hot in red, with the red glowing staff he held that resembled a trident.
He looked devilish, which was unlike him.

Speaking of Trevor, I met him walking along along the hallway as I was heading to English class.

"Hey, Trev," I said to him.

He was in front of me and he whirled around.
His face lit up suddenly and he smiled at me.

"Hey, Maddie." He slowed his pace so I could catch up with him.
We walked in silence for a few seconds before he spoke up.

"So, how have you been...coping with the whole spirit of Reina thing?"

That was all we could think about these past few days. I was getting tired of it.
I was about to reply when I suddenly remembered the argument we had in the training room.

"Yeah, I'm still getting used to it." I answered finally. "Oh...and Trevor I'm sorry for the way I acted when we were in the training room."

He looked down and examined the floor.
"Mmm...it's okay. I was goofing off a bit."

"You goof off all the time Trevor. You're really funny."

"Really?" he said, his eyes widening in feigned surprise.

I giggled. "You're such a clown."
"Yeah...I was born and found myself like that."

I tried my best to keep a straight face
"Hey...we're already late to class." I looked sideways and noticed that the hallway was empty.

"Nerd," Trevor said smirking.

"Hey!" I said punching him on the arm slightly. "It's not a crime to be a punctual student."

He nodded.
"And it's also not a crime to be a Trevor."

"Huh?" I asked.

"Exactly. See you after school?"

"We're going to the same class."

"Yeah, but we can still talk after school right?"

"Um, sure. Where?"

"The usual."

"Which is?"

"I dunno any other usual Madz." Trevor chuckled lightly. "I meant Davie's."

"Oh...okay. I forgot you were new to the state."

"Yeah...see you." Then he winked at me before walking into class.

Did he just ask to go on a date?
No, stupid. I said to myself.

I dragged myself off the floor and walked to class trying to ignore the fluttering in my chest.

We had a short pop quiz during English. By the end of the class, the teacher already marked and graded our test.

I got a C.
I was always an average student and I wanted that to change.

I frowned at the paper as I walked out of the class.
The hallway was buzzing with students.

I walked past Trevor's locker and saw him talking to a blonde haired girl with green glasses.
