''Mikey wait!'' Cal' yelled
''Go away!'' Mikey yelled back, ''Stop following me, I don't want to hurt you'' he said and increased his speed.
Cal' also ran faster and managed to catch up to him, the moment he got near him, he threw himself on him and they both fell over and kept rolling down since they were on a slope. They came to a stop and stared at each other, the stare down didn't last for long as Mikey fell on one knee and held his head ''Ugh… stay away from me, I'm serious'' he said stopping Cal' from coming closer
''Don't you know by now? Nothing you say would make me leave you'' he replied and walked closer to Mikey
''Don't Cal', I mean it… I don't want to hurt you'' he said as he got up with difficulties then took a step back and kept going
''Mikey stop, let me help you… if you keep stepping back you'll fall'' hearing this, Mikey turned around to see what Cal' was talking about, a couple steps behind him was the cliff that led directly down to a lake
''Ahh… haa, I can't take it'' Mikey said pressing his palms to his ears, he took one more step back but slipped and rolled right off the cliff
''No!'' Cal' screamed and slid on the ground, he was fast enough to get hold of his hand, but his hand started to freeze. Mikey looked up and saw Cal' holding his hand
''Cal' let go, let go you're hurting yourself!'' he yelled
''I'm not letting go, never'' seeing the determination in his eyes, Mikey looked down at the lake then back at Cal'
''I'm sorry'' he said
''Don't you dare let go of my hand Mikey, don't you dare'' at this moment the others arrived and saw what was happening, ''don't let go Mikey, don't you dare'' Cal' said again
''I'm sorry Cal', I have to… goodbye, tell my dad I love him, okay?''
''Tell him yourself, don't let go''
''I'm sorry'' Mikey said and let go of his hand while taking away the ice from Cal's hand
''No! Mikey!'' Cal' screamed still holding his hand out, he was about to push himself off the cliff before Jacob held him back
Splash…, they heard the sound and looked down to see the lake freezing over ''No…'' Mikey said in a low voice as he fell still in Jacob's arms, at the moment Cal' discarded everything around him and cried his heart out. After about 5 minutes, he finally calmed down ''Are you alright?'' Jacob asked as he looked down at Cal'
''… mm, I'm alright'' he replied looking up at him with a small smile hanging on his lips, the moment Jacob saw his eye's, he knew he was far from okay, but before he could point it out, Cal' already got up and walked down the cliff.
15 minutes later, Jacob just dropped Cal' at his house where Michelle was already waiting outside for him, watching her son who just walked into the house and straight to his room without even looking her way, she felt her heart break, walking up to Jacob she asked ''Will you be alright?'' she had already been told what happened before they got here
''… Yeah'' he breath out ''I'll be fine'' he said before getting into his car and drove off.
Michelle got into the house and went to Cal's room, she knocked before getting inside to find her son curled up under the blanket ''Hey, you alright?''
''…Yeah''
''Come down, you haven't had your dinner yet''
''I'm not hungry''
''… okay, goodnight'' she said and placed a kiss on his forehead before leaving
…
2 weeks later…
''Hey, Sally''
''Hi, Ben…''
''Did you hear?''
''What?''
''The mayor found a frozen lake and now they are making it a tourist attraction''
At the mention of a frozen lake, Sally's feet came to a stop. Her mind automatically went to what happened 2 weeks ago and what Ben said after that suddenly registered in her brain. Ben was a transfer student who transferred to their school 2 weeks ago, He is obsessed with the supernaturals as he claimed to have seen one before, he noticed all the times Tyler would meet with the kids and grew suspicious and began to follow them everywhere they went… until they caught him, and he revealed why he was following them and vowed to find out all their secrets. He has always bothered them but they never showed a reaction so when Sally stopped in her tracks, he was surprised
''what do you mean, tourist attraction?'' she asked snapping him out of his thoughts
''huh… yeah, they want to turn it into an attraction as it is weird for a lake to be frozen when it's not winter- hey wait up!'' he suddenly said Sally started running in the direction of Tyler's office
''We need to talk'' she said the moment she opened the door to his office and got in with Ben trailing behind her
''About what?''
''let's get the others here first'' she said as she went to get the others.
With everyone present and Cal' paying no attention as usual for the last 2 weeks, she started ''This is really important Cal' so please pay attention''
''I don't see why I should''
''it's about the lake'' she said and Cal' finally lifted his eyes to look at her
''What about it?''
''The government wants to make it a tourist attraction''
''… they what?''
''You heard me''
''That can't happen''
''I know that, that's why I called you guys here''
''Well, there's a way to stop them'' Lizzie said and Ben had his mouth wide open as he stared at her
''She can talk? I almost forgot she was here'' he said
''How?'' Cal' asked showing full interest about the topic
''They can't make an attraction based on a frozen lake if the lake wasn't frozen, now can they?'' she said hinting at the hidden meaning of her words
''We meet there at eight o'clock sharp, we have work to do. Coach, I'll call in a sick day, I've got something to find'' Cal' said as he walked out
The others immediately got to work to find what they need… except from Ben.
''Was he always like that? Kinda rude you know'' he said
''No, he wasn't always like that… something happened'' Gwen said pausing what she was doing for a bit before continuing it
''Well, what happened?''
''You'll find out tonight''
''… wait, I'm coming with you?''
''Why not, even if we don't bring you, you'll come anyways''
''… I can't say you're wrong, but does this mean I'm part of your group now?''
''… I guess so''
''Cool… what do I have to do now?'' he asked watching them pick up their bags and walk out of the office
''Nothing, just wait until tonight, remember eight o'clock sharp'' Sally said and walked out of the office with the others
''Cool… I'm with the popular kids now'' They were indeed the popular kids. Sally, described as the Goddess of the school, almost every guy is trying to be her boyfriend. Gwen, the Angel, she is said to have the heart of a mother with extremely good looks. Some guys just want to be seen as a younger brother to her even though their literally the same age. Cal', he's not especially good at most things, but he is considered as a God when he plays football, he's the captain of the football team so the girls mainly go there just to watch him play. Jayce, the guy who had a big glow up, from a nerd to a hunk and Tyler, the coolest teacher in the school, handsome and smart, he is also the coach of the football team. There's also Lizzie, the girl surrounded by mystery, who rarely talks not even when spoken to, the silent beauty is what they call her…
''I heard there was one more, I guess he transferred out'' he said and quickly joined them feeling excited for being part of the popular kids now
