Cyrosphere: Hidden Lives by Deandre Dean, Calvin King Rivers Page B

The kitchen was huge, it was the size of a tennis court and cooking was a fun activity that Ginger missed when living in the palace.
     
    Last night felt good to cook which Stacey informed her that everyone pitched in to cook, clean and other house hold chores. No need to go to a nail shop after last night but Yvette wanted to hit a spa which Ginger and Stacey declined.
     
    Stacey says, “I want to grab a new skirt to surprise Peter tonight”.
    Ginger answers, “He’s going to love you in anything if he is a good boyfriend”.
    Stacey laughs and replies, “Spoken like a true lady”.
    Ginger smiles and asks, “Where you going”?
    Stacey informs her, “All the best shops are in Hollywood. You want to tag along”?
     
    Ginger accepted if they could stop off at Amoeba and Stacey was so down. The day flew by and tonight she was meeting a bunch of strangers. Luckily Hannah and Frost were showing up but Lucy had a late meeting so promised to make an appearance.
     
    On her way to her room Ginger saw Yvette sitting on her bed and ventured closer. Yvette held a picture of a lovely Asian woman and felt bad for interrupting. Tears were smeared down her eyes.
     
    Yvette says, “Come in”.
     
    She motioned for Ginger to join her on the bed.
     
    Yvette continues, “Her name was Shalice Makyla Kincaid, my mom. She was an outstanding witch like Stacey before she passed away”.
     
    She didn’t go into further details so Ginger did not ask.
     
    Ginger just sat there giving her silent support.
     
    Yvette says, “COPS is now run by my father but before that she was the leader of Legacy”.
    Ginger asks, “Legacy”?
    Yvette replies, “Right. I keep forgetting you don’t know all this history stuff. I grew up with it so it is second nature. Legacy is a corporation that is stationed in another world. Lane Mir of Forkson where Shalice had met Aaron. Legacy is the name of the company but it monitors COPS, a small division that Aaron leads”.
     
    The pair had worked together for years and Shalice was exquisite. Frost texted her to let her know he was on his way and Yvette shooed her away to go get ready. She was staying home and had a pile of paperwork that she needed to catch up on if she wanted to be District Attorney. That was impressive and very ambitious of Yvette which Ginger was sure she could handle.
     
    While waiting for Frost Stacey had informed Ginger of a lot.
     
    Stacey says, “USC houses a secret society of people like us”.
     
    Frost pulled up to the house just then when the conversation was getting good.
     
    Ginger tells Yvette, “We are going now”.
     
    The girls walked outside and Stacey was locking the front door.
     
    Stacey says, “It was called Dark Force University of Matter for psychics inside the main school which was pretty exciting”. 
     
    Frost was driving as they hopped in his Toyota. Ginger was interested in this school even more since she would never feel alone if she got to meet these people with various backgrounds. The drive to Venice was only twenty minutes which was amazing for a Saturday night and traffic was working in their favor.
     
    The party was already in full swing as they approached the beach. First Ginger saw Guadalupe with a guy that Stacey was beaming at so she was sure that was Peter. Peter was handsome for sure, a handsome fella who could model for Calvin Klein or Abercrombie.
     
    Peter was 6’0 which was a few inches shorter than Guadalupe who was probably 6’3. He also had sandy brown hair and clearly white. She chuckled to herself as Stacey grinned at her and Ginger ventured closer dragging a reluctant Frost closer.
     
    Stacey says, “Ginger officially met my boyfriend Peter Quentin Harman”.
    Lupio answers, “I am Guadalupe Benjamin Reyes”.
     
    Hannah appeared from thin air which still shocked Ginger who should be used to it by now. Ginger smiled to herself since few things seem to have changed between Frost and Hannah which was very reassuring.
