The Elements

“Come on Sparky! I’m tired! Please, can we go back at the academy now?” I whined at her.

She gasped. “Of course we can’t go back! We need to find some heels for those beautiful dresses. And no, you can’t wear high tops!”

I groaned but followed her into another store. “I hate shopping.” I mumbled irritated.

Sparky thought that it is a good idea to go out and buy some jaw dropping dresses for tonight. Her words not mine. At first I thought that it could be a good idea but little I know that she was a monster when she steps into the mall. A big mall with all kind of brands in it, it’s 15 minutes drive far from the academy. To make the things worst, the academy pays for our dresses and everything else. Here we are, 4 freaking hours later with our dresses bought, but we still have to buy some heels even if I am completely against this suicidal idea.

“Bad for you. Now stop whining and help me. The faster we found something nice, the faster we leave.” she said looking at a gorgeous pair of black high heels.

“You know, if we will just wear a pair of converse at the ball we can leave right now.” I said as a matter-of-fact.

She turned around and glared at me. “For the last time Shads! You are wearing heels and that’s final! You are already short so if you wear converse, you will be the littlest one from the whole academy!”

“Look who was talking! You are shorter than me!” I shouted at her.

“Yes, but I’ll wear heels you stupid.”

“Fine.” I mumbled defeated.

I wasn’t that short. I’m 5′4 feet tall and I’m not short. I have a cute height, but Sparky was cuter. She is 5 feet sharp and as cute as a teddy bear. If that teddy bear can kill you with a toothbrush.

She smirked victoriously. “Good. Now look at all these heels and pick one you like and looks good with your dress.”

I sighed. “I need to like them and they have to look good with my dress? It’s too difficult!”

“IF I HEAR YOU COMPLAINING ONE MORE TIME, I’M GOING TO GET YOU THE HIGHEST HEELS I’LL FIND AND I’LL VIDEOTAPE YOU WHEN YOU’LL FALL FACE FIRST.” she yelled at me.

I gasped. “You sick monster.” I said but I started to look after some heels because I know she will do it.

“I love you too.” she said and winked at me.

I flipped her off and continued my searching mission. I was about to give up, because all of them were horrible, when a pair cached my eye. A beautiful pair of black sparkling black high heels were standing out in this colorful sea.

“Sparky, I think I found something.” I said and tried on the heels.

“I want to see!!!” she squalled excited.

I get up and started to walk around to see if they were comfortable.

“I like them and I feel comfortable. I’ll buy them.” I said and waited to see if she has any objection.

She nodded her head furious. “You have to buy them Shads! They’ll look gorgeous with your dress!” she said and continued her search.

I get off the heels and I put them carefully in their box.

“Come on Sparks. Did you find something?” I asked and walked next to her.

She pouted. “I can’t decide which one I should buy.” she said and showed me her choices.

In her right hand were a pair of white with some black gem stones on them, and in her left hand were a pair of black heels with some red gemstones on them.

“I think you should buy the black one, or just buy both of them. The academy is paying for them after all so....” I trailed of.

She thought about it for a second. “I’ll buy the black ones. I don’t like the white ones that much.” she said and we both walked to the cashier to pay for them, with the card that the academy gave us of course.

“Now. Can we go back? Pwease!” I begged and pouted.

She chuckled. “Now we can because we have to get ready!!”

I groaned and plumbed into the driver seat. “I can’t wait.” I said sarcastically and revived the engine.

The academy let us to borrow one of the many cars they have for going at this mall. I took a red Ferrari from that enormous garage because why not.

She scoffed. “Shut up because we both know that I’m going to do all our make up which is the hardest part.”

I rolled my eyes. “Calm down, I’ll help you and I’ll take her of our hair.”

“Good, ’cause if you wouldn’t offered to help me, I would have made you look like a raccoon.”

I shook my head with a small smile playing on my lips.

This girl really is something else.

We arrived back in less than 10 minutes, thanks to me and my fast and furious driving skills. We took our shopping bags from the car trunk and walked to our new place.

If you are accepted here, at this academy, you’ll have to live here from the moment you are official accepted, until you graduate. The rooms were different from team to team. The better the team is, the better and larger the room was. Now, that me and Sparky are in T.A, we have the best apartment from the whole academy. Yes, I said apartment because we have to live together, all of us. Our apartment and the other rooms were in a building separated from the academy, right next to the training field.

We were laughing and joking around when I bumped into someone.

“Watch were are you going thing.” a fake blonde bimbo snarled at me.

I raised an eyebrow at her. “Thing? Really? That’s all you’ve got?” I said in a bored tone.

“You know who I am?” the bimbo asked and put her hand on her chest like I have offended her.

“Do I look like I care?” I asked and walked past her.

“Don’t you dare to turn your back at me!”

I scoffed but kept walking. “Or what?” I asked turning around slightly.

Suddenly my right cheek started to tingle and burn. I could feel my eyes changing colors.

“You whore! How did you fucking dare to touch my best friend??! When I’ll finish with you, you’ll really need those extensions and all this make up on your face.” Sparky shouted and had the bimbo pinned to the wall by her neck.

Sparky’s eyes were bright red with anger, and her nails were digging in the bimbo’s skin. I put my hand on Sparky’s shoulder.

“Don’t do it Sparks. It’s not worth it and I don’t want you to get some disease from this fake Barbie.” I said and she let the bimbo fall on the floor.

“Fine.” she grunted and stormed off.

I looked at the terrified bimbo. “I would slap you right here and now, but I don’t want to get slut on my hand.” I said and ran after Sparky.

We walked into our apartment which was number 1, ironic I know. This ‘apartment’ can be called a house because it was so big. Here are 10 bedrooms, each one with its own bathroom and walk-in closet, a big kitchen, a big living room and our own gym.

Yup, definitely a freaking house.

My room was the last one on the right, and I was sharing it with Sparky since there were 2 beds in each bedroom. The bedroom was very spacious with 2 queen sized beds, 2 study tables, one big flat TV, some bean bag chairs, and some racks to put our things on. The room was separated in two: the right side was Sparky’s, and the left one where the window was, it was mine. Her side has green walls, bright green carpet and black furniture. My side has blue walls, grey carpet and black furniture too.

“I can’t believe that she had the nerve to hit you!” Sparky yelled and threw her bags on the floor.

“Calm your Spark down. How I said, it’s not worth it. Just forget about her. It’s our first day here, and we don’t want to start with a bad impression.” I said and jumped in my bed.

“And what if she slaps you again?? Or maybe punches you??” she asked exasperated.

“I’ll beat the living shit out of her. Now I let her go because, how I said, it’s our first day here and I don’t want problems.”

She was mumbling under her breath and opening the shopping bags.

“Sparky, calm down or you’ll make wrinkles and tonight we have a ball to attend.” I said when I saw that she was still angry.

She took a deep breath. “You’re wright. Now” she said with an evil smile and clapped her hands together “it’s time for the make up session.”

I groaned and buried my face into my pillow. “But I don’t want-”

“I don’t care what you want. I’ll make you freaking stunning, even if you want or not.” she said while pulling me out of my bed by my legs.

I fall on the floor with a thud. “I hate you sometimes.” I said glaring at her.

“But you still love me and that’s the most important thing. Now, get your beautiful ass on this chair and let the expert do her work.” she said and patted on the armchair.

“Fine, but I swear that if you make me look like a raccoon I’ll kill you, even if I don’t know how to kill using a toothbrush.” I said and seat down.

She laughed and pulled out from her bag, another bag but this one was full with make up products. “You are very funny but now you’ll close your eyes and let me play with your face.”

“Fine.” I said and closed my eyes.

..............................................................................................................................................................

“Sparky! What the hell are you doing? I stayed here 15 minutes with my eyes closed and you without you doing anything on my face.” I said irritated.

She started to work on my face 30 minutes ago and stopped 15 minutes ago.

“Oh, sorry. I finished your make up and now I’m working on mine.”

“Why in the name of jellies you didn’t told me sooner?!” I shouted at her and opened my eyes.

She shrugged. “I just thought that you would figure it out. Now stop distracting me or I’ll ruin my eyeliner and I’ll kill you.”

“Whatever.” I said and get into my dress.

I walked into the walk-in closet and looked into the mirror. I gasped when I saw that girl looking at me. She was wearing a strapless black dress, with yellow stones that stop on her waist, and it stops just about her knees. Her hair was down in big curls that hugged her face perfectly. Her blue-green eyes were popping out thanks to the black smokey eyes effect and eyeliner. Her lips were a nice shade of nude color.

“Turn around you idiot! I want to see how you look!” an excited Sparky said.

I turned around to let her look at me and for me to look at her.

She was wearing a strapless dress that stops just about her knees, with flames climbing up from the end of the dress to her waist. Her make up was like mine except that her lips were blood red. Her hair was straight and barely passing her shoulders.

“Oh my God! You look gorgeous!” we gasped and said in the same time and then we started to laugh.

“That was funny what can I say.” I said and walked to put my black heels on.

I smirked when I looked into the mirror again. With this 5 inch heels I was standing tall at 5′9 feet.

“Stop smirking at your own reflection and let’s go! It’s already a quarter to six!” Sparky shouted and begin to panic.

I chuckled. “Calm down you Spark woman. We won’t be late. Besides you’ll finally meet Hazel and Ash and I don’t want them to think that you are some kind of scared-of-everything girl.”

Her brown eyes went wide. “Shadow, you really aren’t helping me!! I was already nervous that I’ll be in a room full of people I haven’t seen in my entire life and now you’re telling me that I’m going to meet your two friends that have learnt you everything you know and I-”

I stopped her rambling by putting both my hands on her shoulders and squeeze them softly.

“Sparky, you will be fine and I’m more then sure that they’ll love you and I’ll be right next to you when you’ll walk all confident into that room full with good-for-nothing bimbos and idiots.”

She looked in my eyes to see if I was honest with her and let out a sigh when she saw that I was too damn serious.

“Fine, but if I’ll make a fool of myself I’ll-”

“-kill you with a toothbrush. I know Sparks.” I finished her sentence and laughed.

She rolled her eyes but a smile was still on her lips. “Whatever. Now let’s go!”

“Yasss! Let’s go and show does motherfuckers who we are!” I shouted and walked out of the room holding Sparky’s wrist.

Let’s get started.
