Where did it come from? 43
I text my mom asking if it ok. She replies directly saying it's ok but it should be home before dinner.
I walk through the hall to my friends. Passing Jason's friends' group. I notice that James is no longer among them. I understand, if I were James I would really stay away from Jason. I look around to see if I can see him somewhere. At the very back of the hall next to the trash are 2 boys sitting on the floor. James and Mark, nice for Mark that he has someone to sit with.
The bell rings before I am with my friends. I grab my bag and crutches. I walk to class with Jade.
"Everything okay?" She asks.
"Uhu," I nod and smile.
I'm happy my mom said it's OK but I wouldn't mind if she said no. That thoughts flying around my head about Jason really messed with me.
I wanna tell her that I'm going yo Jasons family after school but I can't. I think it's really bad not being able to talk to her.
When the bell rings I'm one of the last people in the class. Only Mihno, Peter and Kendall are still there. They walk past me. Then I suddenly remember what Jade asked me during the movie night.
"Hey Kendall" he turns around and I walk over to him. His friends are ahead of us.
"How is it going,I heard you have a girlfriend," I say with a grin and poke him in the side. Yeah straight to the point.
"What?" He looks up in surprise.
We stand still in front of the classroom."I like someone," his eyes shoot in the other direction, where Jade is talking to some other girls. Ahw how cute this. "But she isn't my girlfriend. Why do you think so?'' He looks a little worried now, glancing in Jade's direction.
"I heard Minho say something like that while watching the movie." I smile. Well great it's not true!
He looks surprised."Kendall are you coming, my mom is already here!" Peter shouts.
Kendall turns around and nods.
"Have a nice weekend," I say
"You too," he still looks surprised while walking away.
I put all my books in my locker, only taking my jacket with me. I really don't feel like walking with a heavy bag all the time. I only keep my sketch pad and pencils in it.
When I'm done I walk outside and wait at the place where I usually meet Jason. I see Jason walking out of school with Vanessa and that other girl. He is only talking to that other girl, laughing at something. Jason greets her and walks over to me.
Vanessa looks at them with a bored face. When she sees Jason walking towards me, her facial expression changes from bored to irritated. I do not get it? Why is she looking bored at them and irritated at me.
''Hey," he says curtly when he stands near me.
"Hey," I say back and try to sound friendly.
"Is it OK with your mom?''
I nod "I must be home around 5 o'clock."
"Okay,"
We walk out of the schoolyard. He walks further away from me then he normaly does.
Did he read my mind when I was in the restroom? I know he can only do that when he heals me but maybe he found a way or something. Is he acting this way because of the movie night? Does he regret what he said? Or is it is because of that other girl? I don't know, and I'm not going to ask about it.
"I'll go by bus," I say and look at him.
"Yes, me too." He says not looking up. How does he normally come to school?
When we get to the busstop, the bus just arrives. I walkway back to the spot where I always sit. He sits down opposite me. We are both silent during the ride, he is staring out of the window and I look at the people who step in and out. A boy is coming our way. He is around 25, has long curly messy hair. He has a hat on, sunglasses and a skateboard under his arms. He sits down behind me. When it passes I can smell a strong cigarette smell. His music plays very loud trough his earphones. I hear shouting and an electric guitar. Heavy metal, my least favorite music. Jason and I both look up for a second. After a second he turns back to the window and looks thoughtfully.
Two girls sit down on the other side of the aisle. They both have long blonde hair. The one a little darker than the other. They have blue eyes and look a little older than me, I guess 17 or 18. When they sit down one of them looks our direction. When she sees Jason her eyes stay on him, and zo do her friends. I turn my head too and look out the window. The bus goes around the corner.
"We have to get out here," I say and grab my bag.
He looks up and nods still not making eye contact. When the bus is standing still I get up and see the girl looking at Jason from head to toe. Jason doesn't pay attention to them at all and just follows me.
We walk towards the houses. His silence makes me anxious. Why does he act so distant? He asked if I will come by today. Is something going to happen today? Should I see his behavior as a sign? There is really only one way to find out.
"Jason,"I stop walking and stare at him.
''Yes,'' he doesn't look up at me.
"Nothing," I say and look at the ground.
He turn to me again with a little uncomfortable smile on his lips.
"What is it?" he asks, also stops walking.
''What is going on?'' we stand in the middle of the small path.
He looks down, ''nothing.'' he says but doesn't look at me.
''Than why are you walking so far away from me like I have a contagious disease." He now looks at me but doesn't respond.
''Is something going to happen today?" I suddenly see Anaya in front of me and remember what she said in my dream. He is closer than you think. Did she mean Jason? Or someone from his pack? He turns around and looks at me when he sees my face he answers.
"No, no," he frowns and shakes his head like he doesn't know what to say. I won't say anything until he has an explanation. He looks down and then has an answer.
"I was in my mother's office last week, reading through all the information we have about Vini's, in case I missed something. Supernaturals shouldn't be able to hurt you. You have a scar of a wolf's claw on your arm. That means that it is possible in one way or another.'' he finally looks at me now. ''I always thought you would be safe with me and my family. But I almost broke my own promise last week ... "
"No you never almost broke your promise."
"On your birthday ... I could have changed at any time. The worst thing is that I could know that might happen but I was just being reckless. I don't want to become reckless because now I know I can hurt you. " He doesn't look at me, puts his hands in his pockets.
Magical beings don't trust me. The fact that they can't do anything to me always reassured me a bit.
"Ohw," he looks at me in surprise. "That was a very different reason than I had in mind," I say and smile a bit. Of course, his reason was something sweet to protact me.
'What now? Will you always be so distant and not walk beside me normally? "I roll my eyes and walk on.
"No ... until we know how you got it." He smiles briefly and walks along. He takes a step closer to me.
"Why do you suddenly think so? So suspicious? "He asks. What should I say now? That I didn't know if I could trust him? While he is just nice and helps me and wants to protect.
"I didn't know if I could handle this properly. I am "something" and fewer have not learned that long ago. I am in danger with magic creatures. I can't tell anyone what I am and can't trust anyone. The only person I can talk to about it is itself a magical being. The rest who know what I am are eye magic creatures. I don't know if I'm doing it right. Whether I should trust people so quickly. " It is quiet, and it stays that way for a while. "You don't have to, you don't have to trust people that quickly." "I know that it takes time for someone to gain their trust. I want you to know that I have nothing to do with that scar and ... " 'I know that.' He nods and looks ahead. 'What are you thinking of?'
"I'm a bit annoying." He smiles. "I always have to understand everything. I can't stand why I don't know why that scar comes. Why he is becoming clearer and if more are coming. Maybe it will change you too. "He says. I am looking forward.
"We'll find out," I say.
Once at the lawn we see everyone standing. Jake is the first to realize that we are here.
"Hey Cira!" He shouts and waves. The four of us stood at the table where we sat last time. Jake, Valentina, Joshua and Justin are coming our way.
"Hey," I say back. We all walk to the houses. Valentina walks one side next to me and Joshua the other side. Joshua watches how I walk all the time.
"What is it?" I ask laughing.
"May I walk with your crutches," he asks.
"Yes, please." I take off my crutches and give them to him.
"Thx" he and Justin walk away and play with the crutches. We walk further to 1 of the houses. The door is already open. They walk up the stairs, I follow them and look at the house.
"This is my house." Jason says and walks inside. They are all 5 large white houses. They all have a different model. We follow him down the corridor. I look back and see Valentina. She smiles encouragingly. Probably because she realized that I am nervous. In the living room there are 5 men, 3 women Nathan and Aiden. They are all talking. Aiden and Nathan are watching TV with 2 men. The women and another man at the kitchen and other 2 men are talking in the middle. When we come in they all turn around. There is a deadly silence. I look around tense. A woman is walking towards me. She is slim and has a tight dress. She looks pretty young, I think in her early 30s. she holds out her hand.
