THE TALISMANS

choose

Carolyn giggled like a toddler as she walked back to class. "Now listen you are going to be Working with me. So you have to stay away from Christine".

Robert scoffed. "Says who?".

"Says me". Carolyn replied as they walked into class only to be met with an angry looking Christine.

"Where the hell were you". she faced Robert and then turned to look at Carolyn. "And where the hell did you drag him to"?.

Carolyn scoffed. "What, when did you become his mother and when did you suddenly start caring for someone that's not Gareth. Go face your boyfriend. The boy has been dying for your attention". Christine's cheeks turned red but she hissed. And covered it immediately.

"Robert here now, she did a motion" with her fingers and Robert tried walking to her but Carolyn stood in his front stopping him.

"No Robert here now". Carolyn said and Robert looked between the two crazed teenagers. Were they expecting him to seriously choose between them.

They can't be serious can they. He couldn't choose one person. the other would definitely get angry and he might loose his chances. What was going on today?.

Christine and Carolyn looked at Robert expectantly but Robert remained mute

"Would you say something or are you going to let her tell you what to do". Christine snapped.

"Oh no you don't, you are the one telling him what to do and Robert". She snapped also. "Who is really telling you what to do".

Geeze. Robert thought. were this two playing him or what. If they like competing with each other then they should do it with themselves and not on other people.

"We are waiting Robert". Carolyn snapped making Robert scoff again. He was the guy right and why did it look like they were the guys instead. They were trying to control him and he would not let that happen. He's the man. So he said the one thing he could think of at that moment.

"I will not choose anybody I can find my my by myself" and with that Robert walked out on them without looking back and Christine with Carolyn stared at him in awe.

"What have you done to him". Christine snapped and Carolyn scoffed.

"I should be asking you that". Then she also left. Christine walked to her seat alone and in thought.

Gareth ran into the janitors closet and was stunned to find it empty of a human. That fool. He tricked him. And he was going to pay for it. Gareth ran back to the class and it was empty. Maybe they already went for P.E.

And no one bothered to tell him. He went to the boys closet and changed he's clothes then he headed for the GYM. Robert was going to die of Dodge ball today.

Gareth walked in and the whole class turned to look at him.

"You are late Gareth. Why?" The PE teacher asked and Gareth rolled his eyes.

"I got tricked". Gareth replied earning a frown from the coach.

"Whatever just pick a team". Gareth looked over at the two teams. Robert was on the left so he went for the right side. When Robert saw him. He swallowed hIs saliva in fear. One, because he doesn't know how to play Dodge ball. And two Gareth was looking at him with murderous eyes and he kind of had an idea of what was going to go down.

"Ready team left". The coach shouted.

"Ready".

Team left shouted. Christine and Carolyn who were present in the left team rolled their eyes. Was it a sin to hate sports.

"Ready right team". The coach shouted looking at the right.

"Ready" the right shouted.

"Begin".

All teenagers ran to pick the nearest ball and the game started. Gareth picked up the first ball and Robert sucked it pretty well. Which made Gareth more angry. Christine on the other way aimed the ball at Arthur who was also aiming at her. Carolyn just looked on with her sour eyes daring anyone to throw the ball at her and of course no one dared. No one wanted to get on the bad side of crazy Carolyn but if only she knew some don't care and immediately a ball landed on her head and Carolyn jerked backwards with force and pain. She fell down hard and the game stopped. Everybody froze looking at her expectantly. Whoever threw the ball was dead meat.

Carolyn held her head in pain as the headache overwhelmed her and she felt her head swell.

"What mother fucker did this?". She shouted when she overcame the shock. No one talked and waited for what she would do next. Then the weirdest thing happened. Carolyn turned red in anger and almost immediately she stood up and grabbed the nearest balls. The balls flew in every direction. No one saw it coming. The energy and force she used was unexpected cause the balls flew at great speed. Everyone ran back and fourth to avoid it but it looked like the balls had their own mind as it followed them wherever they ran to. Even the coach had to duck and Lay down in fear.

Christine ducked and the ball flew past her then out of anger she stood up and held out her hands which surprisingly licked water that turned into ice in the shape of needles. She didn't know where they came from but she knew what to do. She controlled them towards any incoming ball and immediately the Ice pins touches it. They fall down..
