After sneaking out, guitar slung across her back, she practically sprinted to the park, slowing down a block away to catch her breath. When she finally reached them, she grinned. "Hello, my good bitches that are presumably not grounded! What has summoned us today?"
"Hey, Will. I'm doing pretty good so far." Kim answered, pushing her hair behind her ear. "It's been a while, so…how have you guys been?"
“I’ve been doing pretty well,” Charlise responded, glancing at Carmen with an eyebrow raised. “Uh, Carmen, what did you do? I’m guessing you’re grounded?”
"Him, to answer your question." She said, gesturing to Adie. "But I don't really care why, since it gives me an opportunity to see you guys again."
"Well, I got one more detention than my parents liked." She said, grinning. "And thank God y'all texted, because I was going fucking crazy with boredom." She said, plopping down to sit on the ground.
“And there’s the Carmen we all know and love,” Charlise quipped with a teasing grin. She sat down as well, crossing her legs and leaning her cheek on her hand.
Azalea grinned and sat by everyone before glancing up to Adie. "So exactly how did you get stuck up there?" She asked him, wondering how he couldn't get down.
Kim sat down, crossed her legs, and looked up. "I was wondering the same thing."
"There was a fucking bee." Adie grumbled, sticking up his middle finger. "Now someone help me get down because I am not falling out of another damn tree. I broke my arm last time!"
"Ok, here you go." She responded, standing up and holding out her hand.
(Do they know that they have powers?)
(No, I don't think so.)
"How the hell does climbing a tree help? Bees fly, y'know!" She called up, laughing.
"I pushed a kid in front of me." He sniffed. "Now the bee has new prey."
"Well, that's just rude. What if they were allergic?" She asked, pretending to be scolding him.
"Ok, here you go." She responded, standing up and holding out her hand.
(Do they know that they have powers?)
(Not yet, they'll find out later and one by one.)
Xeelia came sprinting through the park, out of breath, blue curls damp and plastered to her face. Her clothes—a simple black tank top and grey jean shorts—were slightly damp from the bathing suit beneath them. She has gotten the text late thanks to her swim, but she had come as soon as possible. She missed these guys too much to ditch. "Hey!" she greeted once she approached the group, chest heaving with heavy pants, "Sorry, I was at the pool."
Azalea looked around as they started to help Adie get out of the tree. "The gang's almost all out here. I guess we're just waiting for Xeelia." Azalea mumbled more to herself than to the group. Just as she said it, there she came out of the blue. "Speak of the devil." She murmured before waving to her. "Hey,"
(Oof, let me edit that)
"That's their problem. Someone tall help me get down please." Adyn huffed, raising his eyebrows in exclamation.
Carmen rolled her eyes. "Want me to try and shake ya down?"
“We can see that,” Charlise remarked to Xeelia, smiling in a much more friendly manner than her comment. She patted the ground next to her. “You should sit down.”
"… I'm not breaking my arm again." Adie flipped Carmen off. "Becuase that's what happened last time you shook me out of a tree."
"It wasn't a break, it was a fracture. Fix your memory." She said, sticking her tongue out.
Xeelia sat down with a sigh, then tipped her head back to look up at Adie. "Should I ask or has that already been established?" she questioned, not directing it to anyone in particular.
"How about you jump off and we catch you?" Azalea asked, knowing that that would possibly result in another fracture.
