Chapter Eighteen: Roki

Location Unknown May 21st

“Roki, Roki, Roki!! Where are you??!!??!!” Leo calls as I’m in the bathroom.

“Umm… One sec, Leo,” I reply. A moment later, I walk into the main part of his office.

“Why were you using- never mind. Come here,” I walk over to him and take his outstretched hand. He grins like a maniac and suddenly, we are being stretched like spaghetti. It feels like I’m being power-hosed, stretched, and twisted into a pretzel at the same time. Then our feet touch ground and my sight comes back. Suddenly, we are in a familiar place from the textbooks.

“Earth 4, 2017, Bonney Lake, Washington,” I say, identifying the place. We’re standing outside a middle school that has since been converted into a jail. But now, the school is full and kids stream out of the school as the bell rings.

“What’s here?” I ask Leo.

“Nothing, really, I just wanted to show you my new power.” He grins. “Cool, right?” I watch as two blonde girls and a brown-haired guy walk out, having an animated conversation. A taller, dark curly-haired girl jumps behind them and pokes the taller of the two girls in the back. The shorter blonde girl with looks directly at me for a moment, but then looks away, shaking her head. I notice that her eyes are bright blue. The taller girl looks in our direction too and waves, but turns away. A little bit behind them, a white-blonde haired girl and a short, dark haired girl trail behind everyone, talking, oblivious to everyone.

“Um… Is her seeing us good? I can’t remember,” Leo says, biting his lip. “We should go, before anyone else sees us.” I nod and take his hand. He concentrates, and we blip away, leaving shadows in our wake.
