Celia Vargas pov

I open my eyes. Theo's hand was wrapped around my waist. When he sleeps, he looks so cute. I realised, I didn't saw any nightmares. Whenever Theo is closer to me, I don't see any nightmares. Maybe because he is an alpha, I don't know. Or maybe we balance eachother very well. It's Sunday, no school, I wish I could stay here little longer but I have to go, I need to check on dad. I ran a hand through Theo's hair, then I lowered my head and left a kiss on his cheek. He looked so peaceful and innocent. A smile formed on my lips. I took my bag and left his house. I have already left a text, for Theo, so that he don't worry about me. I have no idea about this neighborhood. I waited for the Uber. This place is pretty unfamiliar for me.

After few minutes the cab arrived, I tell the location to the driver and he starts the car. The sky was clear, no sign of rain today. I didn't check my previous messages, so I unlocked my phone to check them out. The first message was from Ambrose.

Ambrose: Hey, guess what? Tomorrow, we are arranging the Halloween party for Kim. She has been discharged from the hospital.

I completely forgot, tomorrow is Halloween. I am so dumb. How can I forget that? I replied him back.

Celia: okay, don't worry I'll be there. It's going to be fun!

I have to check out some costumes now. Something which is cool. I also needed to be away from Kim, I don't know how she will react after watching me. I am already in her blacklist, I don't wanna be on her gravelist.

After an hour of driving, the car parked in front of my house. I walk towards the door and knock. A sleepy dad peeked around the door. I chuckled. Oh dad! How much work do you do? I know, he must be up late night and did his office works. He should take some rest.

I walked inside and settle down on the couch. Dad close the door and went into the kitchen to make some coffee for himself. He only lives on caffeine all day.

"So, who is this new guy? I have never heard about him" Said dad. Yeah, a new guy. Who doesn't even go to our school and is a werewolf. I don't know what to say about that.

"A new friend. We are actually project partners, it's our geography project, kinda difficult" I said with confidence. Dad had a smile on his face. He know that I am lying. That's not fair, how did parents know, when their children are lying? It's like a superpower that they have.

"Geography project? He told me it's a physics project, you have to make some model of celestial bodies" said dad. Oh no, Theodore! Why the hell did he say that? I am not even good at physics.

"He must have misunderstood it" I said. My dad looked suspicious.

"See I don't have a problem with your biology practical but please do it with protection and be safe" said dad while sipping his coffee with a calm face. Really! That's the cleanest way to say 'having sex'. I was in a awkward position. The position where you don't know what to say. How can people talk to their parents about this? I just stared at the floor, looking at my feet, like it's the best thing in the world.

"I knows it's weird to talk about this stuff with me but I am all you got. I just want you to enjoy everything but keeping your safety to yourself. Boys will come and break your heart, I'll be there to give you my shoulder and a cup of coffee" said dad. Aww, that's sweet. I know he is scared that I might hurt myself or something. I can understand his reasons. He is right, and I am careful.

"It's awkward. Before you go to your room, let me inform you that Miss Marina is going to have dinner with us tonight" said dad with excitement. What? Marina Anderson! Our English teacher. Is he serious? I thought they only went on one date and that's it. Is he thinking to be in a relationship with her? Hell no. I want my dad to be happy and find someone great but not my english teacher. I don't want a teacher as my stepmother. That way, she will always mock me. This is not good. But my dad looks happy, I guess I have no other choice.

"Are you two dating now?" I asked.

"Something like that. She is a good women with a big heart" said dad. I know she is a good women but big heart? Is too much to say.

"What you want me for?" I asked. Tomorrow is the party, I need to get my costume. Maybe Shelly can help me on that matter.

"I need you accompany her" he said with a warm smile.

"See I don't want to third wheel between you and Ms. Marina" I said with an awkward smile.

"Seriously! Stop that. You don't have any other work to do anyway" said dad. Yeah, parents always thinks that we kids don't have any works to do. They don't know how stressful and frustrated I am and all this werewolf stuff is eating me alive.

"Yes I do. I have to buy a costume for Ambrose's party. I have already talk to you about this" I said. He looked shocked and also happy at the same time. He must have some weird idea.

"Oh yeah, party for Kim, that girl went through a lot but I still hate her for accusing you like that" said dad with a disappointed look. I hate her too but she is in a real bad position and I think she got what she deserves.

"Are you going to help me with my costume or not?" I asked. He started rubbing his chin. Maybe he is trying to get some ideas out of his big brain.

"Oh! You can be red riding hood, you have a red boots, right?" Said dad. Oh my god! Yes, that's a great idea. I love that idea and red riding hood is one of my favourite fable. I can kinda relate with her, we both have Werewolf problem. This is also the most easiest costume, I am lazy to put more effort on a costume dress. Also, I never wear those red boots, need to try that one.

"Dad that's an amazing idea, thank you" I said. He laughed.

"You know one time, I remember, I went to my halloween party dressing as Frankenstein, I was really young at that time" said dad. Wow! That's a lot of work to do. But I am sure he looked scary in it.

"I have to do my school home works, so see you at the dinner" I said with a wink. He gave me a salute with a smile. It's going to be awkward and weird. They would flirt and talk about personal matters,ugh, I hate third wheeling. It'll be worst if ms. Marina started to complain about me, though there is not much to say but still I am kinda scared. Give me some luck.
