The Rockwood Secret

Trey and I sat in a booth at the Rockwood diner. He sat across from me.

“You look cute, noticing that it’s 7 in the morning.” He said sarcastically pointing to my blue 3 layers skirt, my black boots, and my black blouse, also my perfectly curled hair. He wore a pair of blue jeans and a white button up.

“If you hadn’t changed it from 7 pm, I would have looked cuter” I reassure him. He laughed.

“How can you laugh when this depressing song is on?”  

This diner has a jukebox and right now a depressing slow song is on.

“Lisa did your fork fall?” He asked, I bend under the table but nothing was there.

“No….” I said to a now happy hip hop mix. “This is great”

“Treymon mason silver, what I tell you about changing the song.” A lady in a dress with an apron said coming to our table.

“Um, he didn’t change any song.” I assured her.

“Who she?” She asked.

“This is one of the Dixon’s…

“Wait Mary Dixon... You look a little brown, you got a tan?”

“No, Mary’s my aunt, I'm Lisa Dixon.” I explained. “But anyway he’s far away from the juke box how can he change the song?”

“She's new?” She asked.

“Yea she's been here for three days.” Trey answered.

“So she doesn’t know about you or us?”

“I'm trying to tell her, that’s why we’re here.”

“Um, what are “we” talking about?” I said felling left out.

“Nothing, how about we order now.” She finally said after an approval from Trey.

“Sure, how about some eggs �"scrabble-, a glass lemonade, and blueberry pancakes. That’s it…

“Stop!” Trey stooped me before I could say anything more, but it was too late.

“Order for table 7!” The cook shouted. I look down at the table number. It was table 7.

How did he know, the lady hasn’t even left us yet. Then she left.

“How did….?” I tried asking Trey, but something happened. The lady came back to our table with her hand out stretched and my food floated above it.

My mouth dropped, I felt terror rush down my back.

“Do you like our magic trick?” Trey said, but I didn’t believe it.

“That’s no magic trick…..I got to go.” I said getting out the booth and running out the door. When I got out, I started speed walking. Then I heard Trey yelling my name.

“Leave me alone!” I yelled turning around but still walking. This was a mistake, because I tripped and landed on my head. Which hurts, I sat up holding my head.

“You okay?” He asked running to me. I let go of my head and backed up.

“Please don’t hurt me.” I said alarmed.

“Lisa, it’s your boyfriend…”

“It’s not official yet.” I manage to say.

“Ha, among all your sacredness you still manage to say that.” He said laughing and, without noticing, I smiled. “See, there we go, we’re making progress. So can we go back in now so I can explain? Please.” He said as his eyes got lighter and softer as the sun hits it. I couldn’t help but smile.

When we got back, Trey started explaining while we ate (I wasn’t going to waste food.).

“Well, let’s see, Rockwood is where people with powers are summon to come to train. Most families have only their kids with powers.” He said. “Like my family and yours, I assume.”

“What's your power?” I asked cutting him off.

“Well everyone has two powers, I'm a seer….”

“A what?” I cut him off again.

“I get visions randomly of the future and who I’ll meet…Like I see us….” He leaned in, I played a long and lean in too. We kissed for 20 seconds then parted.

“You really saw us kissing?” I asked.

“No, I just wanted to get my second kiss from you.” He answered laughing, I pushed him away.

“Finish.” I said.

“So I'm also a mover like Anna.”

“Who?”  I asked

“The waitress, our school is full of our kind.”

“Mia and Drew part of it.”

“No, Mia’s power is lie detector and pusher.”

“What? Lie detector, pusher?” I said confused.

“Well she can detect if you’re lying and a she can make you do anything.”

“Like what?”

“Okay let’s see, I don’t want to let you do anything harsh if I do have that power. So pick up that glass of lemonade and dump it in yourself.” (How is that not harsh?)

I picked up my glass but instead of dumping it on myself, I splashed it in his face.

“Opps?”

“You did not just do that.” He said after wiping his face with his hand. He then turned around and picked up a glass of lemonade from someone else table using his mover powers. He moved it over my head.

“Wait! This is new and my hair… my hair gets fri…. “The glass tipped and started pouring out on top of my hair.

“Treymon Mason Silver, you’re about to die.” I said grabbing a pitcher of lemonade from the counter. He started running. I chased him around the room, considering I had boots on, until he moved the pitcher from my hand and gave it to Anna.

“That’s not fair.” I said as he walked over to me.

“My hair is wet.’ I complained. I looked up at his face dripping lemonade. ”Does your lips taste like lemonade?” he smiled.

“Let’s see.” He leaned in and so did I, he was an inch away when something poured on top of us. When it stopped we looked up to see Anna smiling. Then we looked above us to find a, now empty, pitcher. After Trey made for the food we sat on the stools at the counter.

“Hey Trey, what’s my power?” I suddenly asked.

“Wait you don’t know?”

“Nope.”

“Well there are 31 powers. We have to try every one. Are you up for it?”

“Totally.”

“We’ll meet in the park after school. I have to go change and explain to my family why I'm soaked in lemonade. I'm glad Mia is not in my family. Bye.” He said walking backwards toward the door.

“Wait!” I found myself yelling after him. He turned. “What are Jesse powers?”

“She’s a shadower, who is a person who protects people from sniffers, and she's also a mind reader. Why?”

“Well because she's going to murder me during cheer leading. I just wanted to know how she was going to do it.” I said not joking, but Trey took it as a joke so he laughed. “Bye.”
