Part 1
James watched as Calum ran out of the room after Selena, leaving him with the three other members of team SPRK.

“Whoever the hell you are, Selena really doesn’t like you” said the red haired girl.

“I’ve never heard her yell before, she’s always been so calm and quiet” said Pallas.

James turned to the blonde. “Does she always act so…emotionless?”

She nodded. “Even when I met her, she was like that. I asked her why she’s like that, and she just said “It’s so I can be scared anymore”. That’s all she ever told me”

He looked down. ‘Did I do this to her? Was it because I left? If I didn’t leave, would she be the same as she was? I miss her’ he said to himself.

“So, who the hell are ya?” Reena asked rudely.

“James Volpe. I’m…an old friend of Selena’s” he said.

“Doesn’t look that way to me” Reena huffed.

“Yeah, I guess it would”

Reena leaned a bit to the right towards Pallas and whispered “Should we hate him?”

“I think we should wait to hear how Selena feels before we do” she whispered back.

James took another look at the purple haired girl. She hadn’t said a word this whole time, but just sat on her bed and looked at the other girls.

‘Kalista’ he thought ‘I’m sorry for all your pain’

<p class="MsoNormal">Back on the balcony.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I…I don’t know wither I should be happy, or sad, or angry” said Selena, as she lightly punched the railing. She could feel tears running down her cheek.

<p class="MsoNormal">Calum looked at her. He hated it when girls were upset. And even though she was doing a good job of hiding it, he knew she was hurt, he wanted to see the Selena he knew, even though she wasn’t anything special, but that’s what he wanted. He took a few steps forward, he was now standing beside her. The boy wrapped his arms around her, and pulled her into an embrace. The embrace didn’t last long, Calum pulled away and turned his head so she couldn’t see his face.

<p class="MsoNormal">Selena was surprised when Calum hugged her, but she was glad to know someone was trying to make her feel better.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I just don’t understand why Marco would tell him where I was” she said.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Maybe, he thought it was time for you to face your past. If that’s the case, then he probably thought you could deal with it”

<p class="MsoNormal">“That doesn’t sound like something he would do, but I never understood his way of thinking”

<p class="MsoNormal">Selena looked out at the lights coming from Vale, she thought of home.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Maybe you should go back home and ask him” said Calum.

<p class="MsoNormal">She smiled to herself “I’ve never really thought of Marco’s place as my home, but I guess it is” she turned to look at Calum “I can’t go back only to question him, he’d get angry. This is just something I need to get over myself, I already know that he’s a part of my life that’s not going to go away, he’ll always be there, I just need to accept it. But thanks for caring about me”

Part 2
<p class="MsoNormal">Her long dark hair shined in the moon light and her eyes reminded him of the ocean. He admitted to himself a while ago, that he did in fact have feelings for Selena. He always thought she was beautiful and Kalista always told him how great she was. To many her emotionless personality would turn them down, but not him, it just made him want to know more about her. The fact the she told him something that not even her teammates knew, made him happy she trusted him. Just being alone on the balcony with her made him a bit nervous, but once it comes down to it, she still is his friend, and he always helps his friends.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It’s no problem, you’re my friend, and I hate seeing my friends upset” he told Selena. He got a very serious look on his face and looked her in the eyes “Are you going to be okay though?”

<p class="MsoNormal">She nodded slightly “I think so”

<p class="MsoNormal">They stood in silence for a bit. Then it started to snow. His feelings for the Faunus were attacking him from the inside, he felt like if he didn’t do something, he would die, but then again, it probably wasn’t the best time since she was emotionally distressed. His head began to hurt. He put one of hands on his head and pulled his hair slightly, trying to get rid of the pain. Selena noticed. “Are you okay?”

<p class="MsoNormal">He looked at her “Not really, but I’ll live”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Tell me, I just told you something very painful”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I can’t”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Why not?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Because I’m scared of what will happen after”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Tell me”

<p class="MsoNormal">He sighed. “I have...strong feelings for someone”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Who?”

<p class="MsoNormal">His heart began to race, he felt his face turn red, and he knew once he spoke, his voice would crack.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It’s...” there it was, his voice cracked “You”

<p class="MsoNormal">Silence.

<p class="MsoNormal">Then, he felt a hand on his shoulder, pulling him down, he turned his head to see Selena smiling, then she grabbed hold of his shirt collier, and their lips met. This almost gave Calum a heart attack. He had never kissed a girl before. He couldn’t help but take in the smell of wild flowers coming from her. When she let go of him and stepped back, Calum just stood there like an idiot and said “Huhh?”

<p class="MsoNormal">Selena giggled and rested her head on his chest. Calum who was still in shock, wrapped his arms around her and leaned his head against hers.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Uh, so, what does this mean?” Calum stupidly asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">She giggled again. “Whatever you think it does”

<p class="MsoNormal">“W...well, I think I just got my first girlfriend?” he asked carefully.

<p class="MsoNormal">She looked up and kissed him again “Then that’s what it means”

<p class="MsoNormal">They stood there for a bit longer until the snow started to get to heavy, and they walked back in the school.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">As they walked to the dorms, Selena was happy there were people who cared for her again. She forgave James for what he did to her, since there was now someone else to fill the emptiness he left. She now looked forward to what the future would bring to her.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">From the top of a building, a man and woman stood watching the new couple.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Isn’t that cute?” said the man.

<p class="MsoNormal">The woman laughed “Very. I just hope they realise, happiness comes at a price”

<p class="MsoNormal">“They look just like you and me, Liz”

<p class="MsoNormal">The woman continued to look at the two teenagers. She jumped down from the building, and began to walk the opposite way of the school. From the street lights, you could see what she looked like. She had medium length plum coloured hair, and grey eyes, the traits of a certain family of farmers. The Briggs.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Not much happened in the remainder of the year. Team SPRK was unable to enter the tournament, due to most of the team were in and out of the infirmary. Turns out Kalista had a concussion, which kept her out of class for a few weeks. Reena was annoying the nurse so much, she locked Reena out of the infirmary, and when she did get in, the nurse knocked her out using sleeping pills. When Pallas got out, she didn’t have to go back except to get more of her medicine. Pallas and Selena became closer since they were the only members for quite some time. Calum and Selena didn’t tell anyone they were dating, they wanted to find a good time to tell their friends, but that never came. All eight of the students had made it through their freshmen year, and they would all return for their sophomore year in the fall. A year they all hopped would be as great as the first.
