- Flying and Fighting -

Do you know the feeling when your friends are busy talking to each other and you feel left out? That's what I'm feeling right now.

Parker and Xavier were still staring at each other, neither of them seemed to want to back off. I'm surprised Madam Harvestwood hasn't scolded us yet for just standing here.

After a few more minutes, I decided to speak. "Guys?", I said finally finishing their staring contest. They turned their gazes to me with wide eyes, and let me guess, they forgot I was here.

I sighed deeply, lightly shaking my head. I walked around them and towards the class that already started a couple minutes ago. "Look what you did!", Parker elbowed Xavier's side. "Me?! I didn't do anything!", Xavier elbowed Parker's side as well. After a few more steps I couldn't hear them anymore because I was far from them.

"Newbies! Come to the front!", Madam Harvestwood yelled which made 5 people step up including me. They didn't bother looking at the other newbies but I did. 

"Hey! Focus here!", I turned my head to the front immediately, hearing a few snickers from behind.

They all stopped immediately with nervous looks on their faces when I turned around, but I knew it wasn't me who they're scared of. It had to be Madam Harvestwood but she seemed to be busy scolding a student who bumped into her while flying.

I looked around to fine Xavier glaring at the once was snickering students and when he noticed me staring at him, he gave me a soft smile before turning his head to the front.

His smile made my heart skip a beat because no one has done that for me before, not even my friends back in my high school.....And speaking of high school, I wonder what my friends are doing back home...

After a few more humiliating seconds for the poor student who bumped into Madam Harvestwood, we finally started flying.

She gave us newbies new brooms and of course a guide next to us to help. Parker and Xavier volunteered to be my guide which caused a small conflict, so I had to pick between them but if I did pick one of them the other might get upset so I had help from Madam Harvestwood to help. She said I'll just do the eenie meenie method to make it easier which I hope it will.

I took a quick look at both of them and saw these pleading eyes from both of them. I closed my eyes and lifted my hand.

'Eenie', I pointed to Xavier.

'Meenie', then to Parker.

'Miney', Xavier.

"Mo!", I said out loud and opened my eyes.

I heard Xavier groan loudly and crossed his arms. I must've pointed at Parker because he ran up to me and wrapped his arms around my upper back. While Xavier had been partnered with a guy who seemed to be sweating.

"Let's go, Mads!", he took my hand and grabbed him broom from the ground and ran to an empty spot.

"Okay, I think I've seen enough witches and wizards flying this thing. Including Harry Potter. I may or may not have an idea of how to ride this thing.", I said confidently, my chin held up high.

Parker raised an eyebrow at me and lowered his broom so it was standing up, his elbow on the top of the broom. 

" Let's see what you got then.", a smirk had formed on his face.

I swung my leg over the broom as I lifted it up, I positioned myself and before I could get a good grip the broom suddenly moved and before I knew it I was zooming around the field slowly lifting up in the air.

"Parker! Help! I don't know a thing about flying!", I yelled out wrapping my arms around the broom tightly as it kept on zooming around with me riding it.

I looked down to find a laughing Parker. I gave him the best glare I could do while I was flying.

He clenched his stomach and leaned a little, thinking he was leaning on to a wall. He fell to the floor with a loud thud and I started snickering. He looked up at me and shot me a glare and I just stuck out my tongue in response.

For a moment there, I forgot about my situation so when I looked at the front, fear had came back to me and I started screaming again.

"Hold on, Mads!", he yelled as he swung his leg over his broom. "As if I had a choice!", I yelled back and resumed on screaming like hell.

Immediately, I had though of Jack and Rose from titanic and the scene where Jack was holding on to Rose for dear life.

'I'll never let go Jack!', I guffawed at that which earned me a couple of weird looks here and there by people flying near me.

"Mads, take my hand.", I spotted Parker flying towards me and slowed down when he was beside me.

"Take my whole life too?", I said and he gave me a confused look before frowning. "C'mon, say it!", I folded my arms. "For I can't help falling in love with you.", He finished and I took his hand and we both bursted out laughing.

"Okay, let me show you how to do it."

****

"And that's pretty much it, all the basics.", We slowly landed on the ground, me stumbling a little but managed to stay put.

"I think I can do it next time. Thanks, Parker.", He gave me a wink and I fake gag. "Oh come on, you know you love me.", I rolled my eyes at that. "In your dreams, Parker.", I stuck my tongue out and folded my arms.

"Madison.", I turned around to find Xavier. "Hey, how was your partner?", I nervously said, fidgeting with my fingers. "He barely talks to me and when he does he stutters. The whole time he just follows what I say.", he crosses his arms on his chest and heaved a frustrated sigh. I could tell it was hard trying to teach him. You need to cooperate in a class to learn properly.

I looked at Parker to see he was staring at Xavier and once again they were having a staring contest. "What the heck is up with you two?", I scrunch up my nose and placed my hands on my hips.

"Nothing.", they both said in unison.

"Guys....", I cautiously said then both of them looked at each other and sighed.

"It's nothing Mads, it's just I have a feeling that Parker...", he glared at Parker then turned his gaze back to me. "Might do something bad to you.", he emphasized the word 'bad'.

"And you care, why?", Parker rolled his eyes. This isn't like Parker to act this way because he's a guy filled with joy. Yeah, I know. I've only known him for awhile but I've already been with him for at least a few hours to know he's that kind if a guy. Then again, I might be wrong.

"I care because she's my friend, you gonna do something?", Xavier stepped near him and got all up in his face.

"Oh, I'm going to do something alright.", Parker said through gritted teeth, he clenched his fists tightly and his knuckles were starting to turn white.

I've seen too many fights in my school to know where this is going. "Okay! Cut it out!", I stepped forward and pushed their chests but they barely moved, so they stepped back keeping a good distance where they won't reach each other.

"Can you guys tell me what's going on?!", I narrowed my eyes at the both of them.

"Like we said Mads, it was nothing.", Parker gave me a reassuring smile. 

"Well it doesn't seem like it."

"Hey! You two!", we turned to the source of the voice to find Madam Harvestwood. "Since you two have done nothing but stand around, you clean up!", the two groaned and mumbled words I was glad not to hear.

After they were far from me I turned around and slowly crept away. I need to find out what's going on between the two, and I already know who to go to—Jordan.

If I were to go to Keith then he probably would've ignored me. Jordan on the other hand.....

Wait, what class was he in again? Come to think of it, he didn't mention which class he was in earlier. Quickly, I had ran back and to Xavier who was picking up brooms that were scattered around the grass field.

"Xavier!", He lifted his head and his dark brown eyes met mine. He flashed me a bright smile and replied with a 'hmm?'

"D-Do you...by any chance, know where...Uh...w-which class..Jordan is?", I stuttered a bit here and there which made him frown. "I think he'd be in Creatures class by now. Why the sudden question?", he cocked his head to the side. You gotta admit, he is adorable.

"Oh, I just needed help with...a report.", I lied, fidgeting with my fingers.

"Oh, okay. I'll see you later.", I nodded at him and he continued picking up brooms. I turned to Parker and waved goodbye at him and did the same.

I ran to the hallways to find the classroom where Jordan was located.

Mission 'Find out what's going on between Parker and Xavier' is a go! I'm still working on the name, so hush!
