Human Hacking Code

*Chapter Nine*

*****Broken, Seether feat. Amy Lee from Evenessence.*******

" I understand your reasoning, but that wouldn't matter. If you failed I would fail with you, because I love you Marley." Casey sat next to me on my bed. My back faced her as I held the covers of the bed to my shoulders.  " I have a feeling that something is going to happen that will break us apart. Casey, I can share the same affections. But, I can't share the same feeling that we will always be able to stay together." I sighed rubbing my forehead.  Casey took the hand that I was rubbing my head with and laced her fingers through mine.

" Then I will force you to do better with me." I turned over and sat up with a smile.

" You always seem to know what to say. But what about the regulations?" My smile fell. Our professor had once told us the rules of becoming a Nova and one of them was that you could not have affectionate feelings for anyone that was above friends. It was predicted that an uprising would start. Casey pulled her fingers from mine and got off the bed. She threw on a sweatshirt and left the room. I stood to go follow her but knew I should just give her her space.

I wanted so badly to just die right there, but than I would be killing Casey too. I opened the door and walked out. I took thoughtful steps towards the parlor. I knew Casey would hate me for doing this, but I honestly couldn't help myself. I was finally free of any of my mother's strict rules and my sister's fashion "tips". The door slid upwards to let me in.

I came up to one of the many empty chairs and took a seat. A woman with red hair with one of the sides shaved off came over to me. She wore blue pants with black slippers and a black blouse with a bronze pocket watch choker. She took a seat in the chair next to me.

" What do you want? Hair dyed, tattoo, hair cut?" she asked, rapping her fingers against the arm of the chair. Dyed? what was that?

" I would like to make my hair short like, up to here..." I pointed to the side of my neck, halfway from the ear and shoulder. " And I want the tips purple."

...........................

I came back to our room with white hair ending at my neck with purple tips. I ran my fingers over my shoulder as I entered the room. Casey and I just stared at each other in shock. She had chopped most of her hair off and had fohawk that had bangs coming over her eyebrows. It was the same blue color but the shaved sides were black and the tip of the bangs were light blue. Her sweatshirt was off and she wore a green v neck shirt with a black outline on the sleeves and collar.

" Guess you look pretty hot with shorter hair Mar." My face began to heat up. I bowed my head and held my elbows. My short hair fell into my face as my face grew very hot from the part flattery part embarrassment. Casey stood and brought my hands up to her shoulders. She put her hands on my hips. I knew where this is going. I went to push away, when the door slid open and Kayla stepped in. Casey looked up and ran into the bathroom. Kayla just stared at me.

My face was so hot I swear it could have been on fire.  " What just-"

" Nothing." I shook my head.

" But-"

" Kayla, it was nothing I swear." I said out loud. Probably nothing yet. 

Kayla pursed her lips before sitting down on my bed, the door sliding closed behind her. She stared at my hair. " Guess it fits you." she huffed, as if disappointed.  I shrugged.  " I at least kept most of it white. And plus I didn't chop it all off." I noted, feeling my hair. Kayla gave a nod, her pink locks bobbing back and forth. Casey took some cautious steps back out of the bathroom. Kayla just averted her attention from her to the designs of the covers on my bed.

"If I haven't made this clear enough-" Casey started. We turned and gave her our attention.  "-It might as well be said since you kind of walked in...." she trailed off and there was a long pause.  " Mar is my companion." Casey just said it right up. Even with the long introductory to the subject, she just came right out. I had the urge to protest and deny it, but something inside of me was telling me not to. Like my heart had won the battle with my brain. And for the first time I actually saw Casey differently.

Kayla did nothing but retreat out of the room. I sighed, " I guess this is a for real thing now isn't it Casey?" I raised an eyebrow.

"If you are actually going to accept it." she leaned against her bed frame with her hands behind her gripping the metal bar. I inhaled and held it in for a few seconds. Casey looked into my deep blue eyes and I stared back into her misty grey eyes. They reminded me of cloudy days on beaches I don't know why. I noticed something on Casey's hand.

I couldn't make out what was completely there so I took a step over and gripped her wrist. I held her hand gingerly in mine, noticing that it was no mark on Casey's hand. It was a white lotus flower with purple and pink tips in half blossom.

Surrounded by an army of thorns.

Now I knew who the people who came to help us in our pod visions were.

They were other Nova trainees who were supposed to be our companions.
