Mystic High Popularity Rating - Volume 1 Chapter 17 The Dagger Deal Thirteen

*************************************

I walked upstairs and immediately heard yelling from Ivy and Violet. I smiled before entering the room.

“That’s mine Violet!” Ivy yelled reaching for her phone that was in Violets hand.

“Not until you tell me who you were texting and what you have my name saved as!” Violet said smirking. Ivy glared at her before leaning closer to try and grab her phone. Violet quickly stood up while waving Ivy’s phone in the air.

“Come and get it!” She yells dashing for the door, not knowing I was standing there.

“Gah!!” Violet yells falling back, the phone flying in the air. Ivy glides across the ground and catches her phone before it crashes into the ground and sighs loudly.

“You almost gave me a heart attack Sara!” Violet says sitting up and rubbing her chest. I rolled my eyes before stepping over her to put my bag in the corner of my room. Walking towards my bathroom to change.

“Soo.. your not dead yet, that’s a plus!” Ivy said nervously. I laughed slightly.

“The conversation went smoothly, nothing bad happened.” I said recalling the walk. “Oh right! But he did say that Emily isn’t his mate.” I said. I heard them both squeal like kids before laughing.

“It could be you then!” Violet yelled through the closed bathroom door. “Hey! What was that for?!” I heard her yell, I’m guessing that Ivy smacked her.

“We would have known by now if Luke was her mate you idiot!” I heard her say, but she sounded like she was trying to whisper. I sighed before thinking.

“Right Ivy, you were always good at symptoms and stuff, how would Luke know who he’s mate is?” I asked. She hummed for a second before answering me.

“Right! I think I read somewhere that he would have a feeling of-” she paused.

“Of?” I said impatiently.

“Of being complete.” She said. I unlocked the door and looked once I was done changing and looked at her.

“How would he know that or not?” I asked her. She simply shrugged.

“I don’t know, I’m not a werewolf. Go ask him.” She said,snickering the last part out. I groaned as I fell on my bed, not forgetting to throw a pillow at Ivy. Violet then spoke up.

“You know, why are you so curious about him? I thought you said you don’t know him well enough to like him?” Violet said staring at me. My face grew hot and I immediately looked away, pulling out my phone to cover up the fact that I was blushing.

“I’m just curious seeing that Emily went through all that trouble, that’s all” I said still looking at my phone. I heard Violet snort before looking back at me.

“Yea sure.” She said. “I’m gonna order some pizza, anyone want some?” She asked standing up.

“Get me green peppers an pepperoni pizza please!” Ivy said. I scrunched my nose and stared at her.

“Green peppers on pizza?” I said shaking my head. ” get me mushrooms and bacon on mine please.” I said. Ivy gagged dramatically and looked at me with disgust.

“You like mushrooms on your pizza??” She said before covering her mouth with her hand and held her stomach. She ran to the bathroom and held her head over the toilet. I laughed at her show she was putting on before walking up to her and smacking her with a pillow. She turned around and quickly dashed for a pillow on my bed, smacking me with it.

“You baboons really think you can beat the all mighty-” Violet started, standing on my bed with her chest puffed out and a pillow under her arm. Ivy hit Violet’s leg with the pillow and Violet came crashing down on my bed. I laughed while pointing at the fight that had broken out between the two of them. Soon enough though, all three of us were lying on the floor gasping for air while still laughing.

“I think it’s time to sleep” I said, grabbing the empty pizza boxes and putting it in trash.

“Me too.” Violet said yawning. We all got ready for bed before turning off the lights and going to slee-

“CHEER TRYOUTS ARE TOMORROW YOU GUYS!” Ivy yelled snapping me awake.

“What?!” I said, scrambling on my feet and turning the lights back on. Violet groaned and reached for the lights to turn them off again but Ivy smacked her hand.

“Hey! It’s not my fault that you guys aren’t prepared! Let me sleep.” Violet glared before turning off the lights, only for Ivy to turn them back on again. Violet grabbed the pillow under her and covered her head. I dashed towards one of my drawers and pulled out an empty duffel bag. Ivy looked at me as if I was crazy.she quickly went to the door with her arms stretched out to prevent me from leaving.

“I know your unprepared Sara but that doesn’t mean you should kill people.” She said. I sighed loudly before flicking her forehead.

“Stop watching all of those unrealistic murder shows!” I said to her. I walked back to my drawer and put my cheer shoes from last year inside of it,also packing the clothes I would wear for the tryouts. Ivy made an ‘ohh’ sound with her mouth before laughing dryly and scratching the back of her neck.

“Do you have an extra bag?”

*******************************************

In the morning Ivy and Violet brought all there things that they packed for sleeping over,and took them to school so that they wouldn’t have to stop by at my house before going.

“Sara, can you help me carry these?” Violet asked pouting. I laughed and patted her back.

“Nobody told you to pack an extra bag of clothes that you would never even wear.” I said shrugging. She whines at me before giving up and continued dragging her feet along the path to school.

“Can we at least go to Moonbucks first? We still have 15 minutes left!” Ivy said.

“Plus, you made us leave twenty five minutes early I didn’t even get to eat breakfast!” Ivy added. I sighed before nodding my head and pinching the bridge of my nose.

“If we get to school late I promise that I will send both of you to the Sahara desert and back.” I said to them. They immediately sped up there walking pace and soon got a head of me. I rolled my eyes before catching up with them.

When we got to the store, we ordered our food quickly and ate it while walking to the school. Thankfully, we got to school a couple of minutes before it started, having enough time to put our stuff away and and take out what we needed for our first class. Today, all three of us had P.E together, and seeing as cheer tryouts were today, we left all of our things for tryouts in the gym locker room.

After changing out, the gym teacher just talked about rules and whatnot. Afterwards, the teacher set up stations that we had to go through. The gym was remodeled over the summer to be made twice the size it was last year, about the same size as the football field now.

I looked at the stations that the teacher set up, well, if you could say set up.

Seeing as this was a school for students with special abilities, the school was set up so it was nearly impossible for students to do any major damage to the school. Also, because students have to work harder to control there powers therefore, our classes are much more difficult than a regular high school. The stations we had set up involved climbing twelve feet tall walls and being able to dodge daggers that were randomly thrown at us.

“Um..” Ivy said nervously. “I don’t remember doing this last year?” She added. I laughed at her before pointing at the wall.

“Yeah we did that last year!” I said patting her back. She laughed shaking her head and pointed to some students who were trying to dodge the daggers.

“I mean that.” The said gulping. I tried my best not to laugh but I couldn’t hold it for long I went in front of her and pinched her cheeks and looked her in her eyes.

“Are you scared of that little needle? Aww.” I said laughing. Ivy swatted my hand away and pointed at the daggers dramatically.

“Those are daggers Sara! The size of a kitchen knife!” She said with her eyebrows raised. Violet then butted in to add to Ivy’s words.

” I bet your just covering up for the fact you can’t do it huh Sara?” Violet said putting her arm on Ivy shoulder. “If you can do that, Ivy and me with pay for your lunch.”

“That’s not what I’m saying! Sara-” but before I heard the last part, I was off.

Ivy looked at Violet with a piercing glare.

“What? Were spitting the cost!” Violet said with her hands up. Ivy smacked her arm before running to do the stations as well to try and catch up.

“W-wait!” Violet yelled running.

************************************

I ran up to the station but stopped myself

Right before a sharp dagger zoomed passed my gut. I took a few steps back, almost backing into another station,before I heard shouts from two voices.

“Sara, how can you run so fast.” Ivy said panting.

“Wow look! You made it passed the other ones! Good job!” I said, clapping for them.

“You were gone for like, half a second how did you get to station 17!?” Violet says pointing at me. I shrugged my shoulders and looked back at them.

” how did you get here so fast then?” I said pointing back at her. Ivy went in between us both and smacked our hands down.

” stop it you two! And move out of the way! Other people need to get by as well!” Ivy whisper-shouted to the both of us. We quickly moved to the side as another students tried to go through the daggers, only to run back out sweating with cuts on there bodies.

“Your going through that?” Violet said with and eyebrow raised. I shook my head before looking at her with a smile.

“Not through it, over it.” I said to her. Ivy looked at me with confusion written all over her face.

“I mean you sure that’s possible?” She asked, I looked back at her and shrugged once more before smiling even brighter.

Time to find out!” I said before taking a few more steps back.

“You can’t possibly think that-” Violet started.

I ignored her and started dashing for the daggers ahead of me. Just as I was close the the first wall where the daggers were being shot out of, I launched myself forward and pushed all me strength to my legs.

I stretched my arms ahead of me, trying to make my body as long as possible. My theory was that if I made sure that I had most of my weight spread out evenly on my body, I would be able to move in the air for a longer amount of time. So I decided to put it to the test.

I was about halfway through the station when I started to fall.

“No no no no!” I cried to myself, I sighed before changing the direction my hands were in and moved them to be facing straight down.

As soon as my hands touched the floor, I refocused my strength to them and pushed myself back up. I felt a sharp object graze past my fingertips and I smiled at my self. I arched my back in order to avoid the other daggers that were gliding passed me. I pulled my head up and put my arm from behind me to in front of me, also bending my knees. When I felt my feet touch the ground, I bent my knees even more.

I stood up gently with my arms still in front of me before patting myself down with my hands to make sure I didn’t get hurt. After I did so, I turned around and smiled at Violet and Ivy with some other students who were on the other side looking at me amazed.

“Looks like your buying lunch!” I said to Ivy and Violet smiling.
