Plugged Into Michelle Caldwell Chapter 19 Pt 1

Harley's POV

He asks me what I want to talk about. I kind of stutter the words but I eventually get them out. He looks at me stunned. Not really the look I wanted.

"YOU are asking ME to the dance?!?!"

That was what I asked him just with a different tone. It was kind of like this:

"Uhh...Liam, I know we hardly know each other but.....I heard there was this dance at the end of the week to... uhh.....celebrate the official starting of school...and...and I was wondering if you wanted to go with......me......." I said it really softly that he made me repeat myself.

"We can go as friends if you would like..." I say once he doesn't really respond. It's just you've been flirting with me the whole day. Come to think of it you've been flirting with Celeste too. God, am I stupid to think you liked me?" I smack myself in the head.

"No not at all. I just don't know you all that well.... But I do like you. "He says smiling.

"Oh...so....are you going to take me or Celeste to the dance?" I say stepping closer because I think I know the answer.

He looks of in the distance, as if he's thinking. It takes him longer than it should if he's trying to joke.

"Liam.... Who are you going to take?" I ask shaking him a little bit.

"Celeste!" He says popping back into reality.

"What?" I don't think I heard him right "You're taking Celeste?!"

"What? What are you/ No! Celeste is with the other me and they're in trouble." He says hurriedly

"Oh..... well we can go back inside if you like."

"No they're not in the cafeteria." He says worried as hell.

"Okay....Where are they?" I ask calmly because he starts to pace.

"They're in England."

"ENGLAND?! How the hell did they get there?" I ask bewildered.

"Celeste can teleport..." Suddenly he stops pacing. "HEY! You can fly right?"

"Yeah.... Why?"

"Let's go to England!" He says already grabbing my hand a dragging me to where ever he thinks England is.

I snatch my hand back.

"Uh...Wait. You think I'm gonna fly to England? That's ridiculous and I'll tell you the reasons why.
1: We're not allowed to leave campus. 2: even though I can fly. It still takes a while to get there. And 3: I don't even know if I can carry you. So there! Argue that." I say crossing my arms

"Okay 1: We aren't technically allowed to leave campus but Celeste did so it can't be that bad. 2: we still have enough time to get there before something bad happens if we leave now. And 3: I may not look like it but every time I duplicate myself I lose a lot of weight. You could probably carry me. Please do this for me. You would be a life saver. Please!"

He gets on his knees and clasps his hands together. He makes this pouting face that you just want to kiss.

"Ugh fine. But we're stopping if I get tired."

"Deal!" He stands up quickly with a huge smile on his face. Okay....how does this work?"

"Well to be honest. I've never flown with anyone else before." His face drops "But...." I say holding up a finger. "I have flown with a very large suitcase. And if you say you lost a lot of weight it probably won't be that hard."

"It's the probably I'm worried about."

"Hey this is your idea. Do you still want to do this?"

"Yeah I do. I trust you." Him saying that makes my heart melt.

"Okay..." I put my hand through my hair. "Um you're going to have to hang on tight."

"Okay." He says stepping closer and wrapping his hands around my waist. I feel instantly safe.

"You might have to hold tighter." I say bravely.

His grasp on me tightens. I kind of want to melt. I bend my legs ready for takeoff.

"You know if we were in another situation in this same position. I could easily kiss you." He breaths into my ear, which sends shivers down my spine.

I tell myself he's not going to kiss me now. I have to concentrate. I swallow back that lump that has formed in my throat and I push off......and realize something.

He totally didn't answer my question....that bastard.

Michelle's POV

I walk closer. I can see Jake eying my every move. I can't tell if he's disapproving or extremely worried or both.

My steps become smaller as my confidence does the same. I look back for some encouragement, but I see that Harley is gone and Celeste and Liam are already on more important topics.

The only one looking at me is Aiden. It's hard to look away from those eyes but I do anyway.

Unfortunately I run in to someone.

And even more unfortunate is the person I run into is someone I really don't want to see.

He grabs my arms to steady me. And I don't know what to say..... All I can manage is "James?"

Celeste's POV

"Shit Shit Shit...Fuck Fuck Fuck." I say as we are getting food at a café.

"Nice language." Liam laughs.

"How can you be laughing at a time like this?! What are we supposed to do if I can't teleport us back?" I whisper the last part

"We wait."Liam answers, looking at the menu as if there is nothing to worry about.

"Wait for what? For people to find out that there are people who have powers? and then they send a plane for us. Or we wait for Rachel to figure out we're gone, then she tells her dad then we get kicked out of the school. Cause either one is not fun." I whisper looking around.

Liam looks at me like I'm an idiot. "No, we wait for the other me and Harley to fly over here. Now what are you having? My treat. I'm thinking the chicken parm sandwich." He says looking at the menu.

"God all boys think about is food, sports and sex!" I shout putting my hands in the air. Then realize people are looking at me probably thinking stupid American.

"So true..." Liam nods as he signals the waitress. " Hello, I'm gonna have the chicken Parmesan sandwich and she'll have....what? The salad?"

I look at him and smile coldly. "No actually can I have the steak with a large coke? Oh and some fries?"

"How would you like the steak cooked?" The waitress asks us. I look at Liam whose looking at the price of the steak.

I see him gulp.

"Medium well." I say yanking the menu from his hands and handing to the waitress.

"Steak really?" Liam says making his eyes into slits.

"You said it was your treat." I shrug my shoulders innocently. "So when are they supposed to get here?"

"Well Harley said it takes longer if she's bringing someone. So I have no idea."

"So what are we supposed to do until then?" I ask leaning my head on my hand bored already.

"We can go sightseeing. I did always want to go to England."

"Okay where first?" I ask.

"Big Ben?" Liam shrugs.

"So unoriginal." I sigh. "I got the perfect place come on." I shout jumping up and grabbing his hand.

"But....what....about......food?" Liam whines as we move further and further looking at are table forlornly.

"Don't worry you can buy me steak another time." I smile.

"Yeah cause that's exactly what I was thinking." He follows defeated as he follows me on our next adventure.
