I`m Awake

[potter_fan122]

Stacey just shrugged. "Just remember, I learn differently than you. When I`m near someone, everything that they`ve learned to do gets pushed into my mind, so it`s like I`ve already done them before. That thing I did a few days ago with the glass, I learned that from the bartender."

[Aiden]

Aiden nodded as he thought about that.  "So, you never really have to go to class or anything?"  He asked, his tone curious.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey thought for a moment. "Class helps, that`s for sure. Othrwise I wouldn`t know how to control the powers as they are basically forced upon me." She tried to explain.

[Aiden]

Aiden tilted his head to one side.  "I guess you are right about that."  He began to recall how many times he was absent for his classes.  He shrugged his shoulders, not really worried.  "I think you seem to handle your powers well.  However, I wouldn't know much about that stuff."

[potter_fan122]

Stacey nodded as she led him towards the school. "Well, if you had everyone`s powers rushed upon you and had been in the hospital wing numerous times, forcing Ginny unpon you, basically..... well, then you`d probably know how to handle stuff, too." She said almost bitterly.

She sighed. "I`m sorry. But you just think that powers are good, nothing bad comes with it. Well, bad stuff comes, let me tell you." She added softly.

[Aiden]

Aiden noticed Stacey's tone so he decided he wouldn't bother her about it.  He sighed quietly as he followed her.  "I'm sorry."

[potter_fan122]

Stacey shook her head. "It`s completely fine. You deserve to know. I just hope you don`t think that my powers are just powers. They come with not so nice things, too." She explained in a serious tone. They came out of the trees and the soft sunlight hit them.

[Aiden]

"I don't think that.  Sometimes I can tell something is bothering you.  Now I know it is probably because of your powers." Aiden continued slowly.  "You're not that hard to read."  He glanced at Stacey as stepped into the light.  He loved the way she looked when the sun was shining on her.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey smiled. "You aren`t either, but I could be if I needed to. But I hope you know that I would never lie to you unless I really had to. Which I don`t think I`ll ever have to do." She said, looking at him sincerely. She smiled again as she looked at him. He looked nice if this soft light.

[Aiden]

Aiden moved his dark colored hair out of his face, and began to walk more slowly.  It was beginning to get later in the early morning and people would be awake soon.
"What kind of circumstance do you think that would be?"  Aiden asked, curiously tilting his head to one side.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey shrugged and thought for a moment. "Well, if... someone threatens me and if you find out about them, they`ll kill me. I don`t know. Something like that. I wouldn`t lie to you unless I had to. I promise you that, my moon."

[Aiden]

Aiden stared at Stacey with an odd expression for a long moment.  He took in a deep breath and exhaled.
"Is something like that going on now?"  He asked, his voice quiet.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey gave Aiden a look of horror. "Oh, my God. No! Did soemthing make you think that?" She asked, hoping it didn`t seem like she was lying.

[Aiden]

Aiden took a few seconds to compose his facial expressions.  He hadn't ment to upset her.
"Nothing.  I was only curious...you know...uh, in case something was happening.  I would really like to know."  He answered Stacey slowly.

[potter_fan122]

"Aiden," Stacey stopped walking. "I will always tell you everything I can. If you don`t know something, it either isn`t important, or it is so insignificant that it doesn`t matter, and even then I`ll still probably tell you." Her eyes locked with his, hoping he could tell that she was telling the complete truth.
