The awakening of the next chapter

 As i slyly mentioned in the last post, there are more elements ( hence the title of my blog " The FIVE Elements) and their names are Marshall, J.T. and, perhaps, Anne, though i won't be speaking about her until we are most definitely sure she is an element though i will tell YOU about the day we told HER. Anyways, it all started on a Friday morning...
             " Okay class," our teacher told us, " Today, as you all know, we will be going to our annual bowling party." Violet shifted her head towards me as we stood in a line outside our classroom door.
" I can't wait!" she whispered while showing off a big smile. She seemed dressed for a camping trip though we were only going to the Stadium Lanes in our town. Her hazel-nut hair was fastened into a short ponytail under a bright purple baseball cap. By her side, she carried a water bottle that seemed to be half-empty, " Sorry," she said as if reading my mind, " i was thirsty, okay?" I shrugged and replied, " no shame in that." She smiled back as she stated, " LETS DO THIS THING!!"
                 The school buses at OUR school are the worst by far. We always have a driver that doesn't exactly care about us kids, so, you know how that goes. The bus was MOST definitely speeding, any dumb person could tell that by just catching a glimpse of the bus, but the passengers weren't okay with that, i mean, would you? Suddenly, there was a huge bump in the road and our careless bus driver sped RIGHT OVER THE DARN THING. at that moment, it seemed like gravity didn't exist. We all flew straight out of our seats and yelled, " whoa!" sadly, that moment was quickly over as we all shot back down with a SMACK as our back punched us endlessly, and the whole 4th grade moaned.
                    Now, for the somewhat good part, Violet and i were seated into a group which had, yes, Marshall and J.T. sat right in it. " so,"  JT spoke, " do you, and be honest here, really like to bowl?" Violet sighed immediately ans said, looking relived, " nope, not at all." With this, JT smiled, " alright then! Do you guys have powers because that's what the WHOLE grade is saying!" Violet's eyes widened, as did mine, as she said, " WHO, WHO told you that?" JT laughed, " does it really matter?" honestly does it? nope, it does NOT!"  Marshall, the funniest person in the whole 4th grade, joined in, " What he means to say is that we have powers as well, and we wanted to form a group with you peoples." Violet, as some of you know, is very critical, and she was the same here, " Oh please," she remarked, trying to look as mysterious as she could, " us, power, uh, people, have to  be loners in the game of life, it is to keep you safe, so, shoo,shoo." " WE ARE SERIOUS!" JT shouted, " we'll prove it to you," and with that, JT bared fangs as he growled and his eyes tinted yellow, the hairs on his arms suddenly growing longer. Marshall's eyes tinted purple as his face darkened, and his blond hair started to turn black. Suddenly, the clouds through the glass doors turned the same purple as his eyes as thunder roared. " okay," Violet announced as i nodded, " we..definitely....believe....YOU! " and with that she hid underneath the table, as, once again, Mr. Hallmark grinned.

how we really found out about violet's powers

      YESTERDAY...... "how'd you like it?' I asked Violet, showing her my tablet. " It's good, it's good," she said quietly, " but it's not exactly what happened." she explained. i frowned and asked, " what do you mean?" " well....."  she started to say, while biting her tongue. We were currently at the playground by our school which wasn't the best place to talk about powers and things like that, especially with the other 4th graders who thought they ran the school.  Right by us a girl with her light blond hair strapped into a ponytail, stuck her head into our conversation, " SOOOOOO......" she said her eyes battering like they were innocent, " what-cha up too?" Violet shifted her head towards her, forming a fist as she said, in a tough tone, " what do you want Claire?" Claire ( that is not her real name, though it is similar, and i shall never speak it) smirked and backed up yet, carried on, " Oh, nothing, nothing," she said, her eyes narrowing down to the sidewalk as she held her friendship bracelet filled arms behind her back, " i just, you know, wanted to know what you guys were talking about!" she said as she lifted her head up towards Violet and smiled wide, as a glimmer of white, polished, teeth showed. Violet, as you might not know, is very feisty, especially to car- i mean, Claire, and she wasn't having it. " you know we're not  your friends, you hate us for no particular reason, and we know what your silly game is!" she shot back her hazelnut colored hair flew behind her in the wind. with this remark Claire's eyebrow arched into an evil slide of death, and then, she screeched, " AHH!" as she stormed off towards her clique. Violet shook her head as she said, " when will that girl stop?" I shrugged and said, " she's been mean to me ever since the 2nd grade, yet i have no idea whatsoever." Violet gestured for us to moved toward our special tree where JT and Marshall ( our other friends who i'll speak more about next time) already sat. The big oak tree on the perimeter of the playground, behind the basketball court, was the only place where we felt secure. " so," i continued," what were you saying about blog post?" I asked her. " oh yeah," she answered," it's a good story and all but it's slightly off the truth, honestly, that is NOT how you found out my powers, It all went like this," and there is where i start to talk to you about the topic, that title of my blogpost. 

                             December 2015, " Cat! Cat!" Violet shouted as she ran up to me, her snowboarding jacket hood bouncing on top of her head as her backpack streamed behind her, " I...I..." she stammered as she started to breathe fast, " HUFF, HUH, HUH HUH!"  " BREATHE! breathe!" i shouted back, " now, what is it you wanted to tell me?" I asked. " I,I,I," "yes?" i said back, when suddenly the bell rank and it was time for class. " Take your seats." our teacher ordered us, " It's time to take a test on protractors and how exactly we use them." The class groaned since we all, i guess you could say, hated those darn pro-track-tor thingy-ma gigs. Anyways, i know that you guys don't want to hear how our 2 hour test went (or the fact the i got an 100, and no i did not just brag) so i'll skip to our 10 minute a day recess.  We were on the seesaw when Violet suddenly remembered, " oh yeah!" she shouted quite exitedly, " i have, well let me show ya'!" she told me while scrambling through her traveling bag that she carries everywhere. " a-ha!" she exclaimed, pulling out a water bottle, " here's the little booger!" she said, getting off the seesaw, " holdth onth," she continue with a rubber band in her mouth, " pf! ugh, that rubber-band was filthy!" she shouted while zipping back up her bag. " ok," she exclaimed, " hold this!!!" she order me while leaping off the ground. I held it lightly, yet firm, so whatever Violet was about to do, i couldn't mess it up. " ok." i said, " go ahead!" Violet calmed her self down and concentrated her stormy, blue eyes onto the the bottle, then swiftly,  did a gesture with her hand, when, and i'm not lying here, the bottle exploded , yep, it exploded. well, that's the best way to explain it. it, to me, seemed like a miracle. it was the best proof i'd ever seen. In the corner of my eye, i noticed Mr. Hallmark staring at us like we just another stepping stool in his plan. At least that's how i'd describe ithttp://tefiveelements.blogspot.com/p/info-about-five-elements-and-what-they.html (p.s. i have a new page on here!)

The start of something amazing

The wind blew hard on the leaf-filled sidewalk.Every fourth grader,exept for Violet and I, tried to dodge under bushes to escape it's rage. Violet looked over at me and said, " You REALLY should stop now!" I smiled and replied, '"Alright, alright I'll stop!" with a wave of my hand the wind blew casually, becoming a nice winters breeze.She laughed but then frowned, "What's MY superpower?"
I looked at her with a million things going through my mind, though i didn't sound like it, " You'll, uh, found out soon enough!" i exclaimed with an encouraging smile. Still, she didn't seem pleased. her stormy blue eyes fixed itself unto the sidewalk as she sighed, " I don't think so, i'm hopeless, aren't I?" I frowned, for i never like to see my friends unhappy, who would? But still, i looked up to Violet and i didn't know how to make her, well, her cheerful self. Suddenly, RING!RING!RING!
Violet looked back up at me, clenching her backpack, and simply said, " I'll see what i can do over the weekend i guess, i mean, my family is going to Corpus and the possibilites are pretty much endless there." I laughed and replyed, " I guess your right, you know oysters, saimon, the works!" finally, i saw that bright smile i'm used to seeing. " see ya!" Violet shouted as she ran to catch up with the bus.VROOM!VROOM!VROOM! a jet black car pulled up with a little girl in the back with  a dark brown bob sitting upon her head shouting, "GET IN!"
                      "so," she said staring at me like she wasn't expecting much though i was two years older then her," what did you, if you even DID anyting, do at school today?" she asked putting on a clearly fake smile. I glared down at her while pulled my chocolate hair into a ponytail, " oh, i don't know.... what did YOU do at school today, Chloe?" She stared back at me, her eyes wide with astonishment for i hardly EVER make a comeback. Her face quickly rested back in an ' i'm better than you' position as she started to say something than sternly, turned back at the car window, " yes," i thought, " finally got her!"
                                                                                                                                                                             A day later,i sat on my polka-dotted bed writing in my daily journal with a neon green gel pen.
"So, today i talked with Violet-" when suddenly, my peace was disturbed by a large BANG! coming from outside my bedroom window. " those darn Hamiltons!" i thought, for, despite their name, our the rowdiest family on the block, that familie's sterio's volume must go up to a THOUSAND. though what i saw versus what i predicted was a WAY different image. For, as i swept open my pale curtains a burst of water poured onto my eyes until all i could see was a figure approaching, grinning, her stormy blue eyes vibrating as she said, " i found my powers!"
