Casters Book Three: Cosmic Caster

Chapter 10

"We're done, swear." I roll my eyes. "We're probably just going to get food and cuddle for the rest of the night."

Joni sighs in relief.

"Oh please, you never complained when I did it with Mesmira," Vega says.

"It was never so... explicit," Joni shudders.

"Whatever, if you're jealous just say so."

"Hey," I snap at Vega.

She shrinks back.

"Enough. She's right, we were being rude."

Vega pouts.

Joni smirks at her.

"Come on, I'm starving. Sorry Joni, won't happen again."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll believe it when I see it," She waves me off.

Vega and I get our shoes on and head to the dining hall.

"My back hurts," I pout.

"I can make it better," Vega comes up behind me and kisses my shoulder.

"No, no more today. I'm like numb from the waist below."

She laughs.

"It's not funny," I giggle.

"I really needed today, thank you," She pecks me on the cheek.

"I needed it too," I smile and peck her on the lips.

We walk into the dining hall and grab our food.

"They live," Dariyah says as we sit at the table.

"Hey," I smile.

"Gross, they are glowing again," Gunner shudders.

"They don't have to be glowing to figure out what they've been up to all day. The marks all over their necks can tell you all you need to know," Nerissa joins the table.

"Okay, okay, enough, we just needed a day to ourselves," I say.

"Yeah, and we don't have any explaining to do. If I want to be with my girl, I can," Vega smiles and pulls me into her arms.

I smile.

"Gross, I'm losing my appetite," Gunner says.

"You and me both," Dariyah grumbles.

"Hola people," Aster joins the table with a heavy sigh.

"Hola," Gunner says.

Aster eyes me and Vega but says nothing.

"Okay, why are they always out of egg rolls?" Wieland joins the table.

"Right!?" Gunner says.

"So what'd I miss today?" I ask.

"Coach says you are going to get laps," Dariyah says.

"No," I pout.

"Wiggins was out again, Asherah was the sub," Nerissa says.

She has Wiggins later in the day with the rest of the older kids.

"Yes!" I whoop.

Vega laughs.

Darko walks up to our table and looks at me with a sad puppy dog look. I eye him.

"Take a seat man," Gunner says.

Darko waits for some sign of approval from me.

I sigh and roll my eyes.

He smiles and sits down.
