>>Jenny
As I step into the cozy little restaurant, I feel a mix of hunger and nervousness. In the end, I agreed to come with him but isn’t dinner with your teacher at a fancy restaurant weird? Or am I overthinking it? I looked around at the interior, I wasn’t expecting him to bring me to such a nice place.
It’s not entirely appropriate, but I didn’t get to dwell on it much because as soon as the food arrived, another loud growl escaped my stomach.
Mister Koen pursed his lips together to stop himself from laughing while I felt utterly and completely embarrassed. It’s all because the food tastes and smells so good!!! The hot steam leaving the food, the way it was presented on the plate. Everything was at fault!!
>>JennyI was waiting for an impact, for something sharp or painful but before it came to me, something happened.We all heard a scream, followed by a loud thud, and everyone froze. It made the bat guy stop just an inch away from me. I felt his presence and shot my eyes open only to notice that all of them were looking towards the exit, so I did the same thing. I turned my head toward the alley entrance and saw the Goth had her face smashed against the wall. Someone was holding the back of her head and that was all he needed to float her entire body mid-air.!!!??That was an astonishing sight but what made my eyes go wide was the fact that the man who had single handedly smashed her unconscious was none other than my temp teacher, Mister Koen.
>>JennyI watched him carefully, observing him to see any odd movement.“Because I was looking for you,” He replied calmly, catching me off guard.!!!I wasn’t expecting such a straightforward answer.“Huh?” I knitted my eyebrows, “W-why?” This was becoming a little weird. I wasn’t expecting him to say that outright.“Ah,” He reached into his pants pocket, “You dropped your phone.” He took out a phone and showed it to me, “Back at the restaurant. So I came to look for you.”
>>JennyAs the words escaped the blondie’s lips, my hands moved on its own and I slapped her across the face.How!?!I was petrified, How did they find out!?“You!!!” The blondie was in shock, and so were the rest of the girls“Waoh! Woah!” Mister Koen stood up in a panic to come over.“We only came to talk!!” The girls all glared at me while the blondie, with one hand on her cheek, raised her other hand to hit me.“Hey,” Mister Koen came and stood between us, “Stop!” He held the wr
>>KoenWhy are you going out of your way to get my trust?” Jenny looked like she was getting angry, “You’re just a temp, you’ll be gone soon.” Or maybe something was scaring her, “I get that you’re strong but I don’t need you.”My lycan whined, he felt broken. It was like getting a rejection and it broke my heart. What do I say now? It looks like all her doors are closed. I need to say something to get close to her, but what? She’s excellent academically and doesn’t want anyone going too deep between her relationship with her sister…My lycan howled at me. Urging me to come up with something. Anything! Something that could help connect us. Anything that would make us talk to each other.
>>JennyI sat on my bed with my head in the palms of my hands.Am I STUPID!?How did I get distracted when I was asking Portia about the guy in Jena’s life? Just how?! I took a deep breath. The conversation got sidetracked so naturally I just went with it.I shook my head at myself and lay down on the bed.But complicated? Portia said Jena’s relationship was like that. But why is it complicated? I need more info!!I sat up in frustration.Maybe I can ask Harou! He knows whatever’s going on in Jena’s life. I grab
>>JennyCalm down! Calm down!!It’s probably because he’s hot. Anyone would feel giddy if a hot guy paid them attention and even protected them. It’s nothing to fret over!!I may not be interested in this stuff, but I have eyes, and even I can tell he’s super hot! I mean, look at his face, his jawline, his build!I shook my headThe hell… Get it together Jenny!I frowned, “Why do you want to help me so bad?” I asked, “There are other girls who get bullied too.”Okay! Okay! Calm down.
>>JennyI watched Portia as she solved the quizlet I gave her. Tapping my index finger on the table, I felt anxious as the time ticked by. I was still in denial.Why would I like it if some random guy touched me? Why? Just why? It doesn’t make any sense!! I mean, alright, he’s my teacher, so he’s not exactly random BUT he’s my TEACHER!!I let out a sigh as I continued to stare at the redhead.“You said you and Jena got closer because both of you were having guy problems,” I couldn’t keep it in anymore and I had no one to confide in either. So I spoke in front of the redhead.Portia raised her head to look at m
>>Jenny“Because of me?” I pointed at myself, “W-why?” I was baffled, but so was she. I could tell she didn’t want to spill that by her expression.Her pupils were shaking.“Tell me,” I demanded, “Why?” We were already at this point, so she might as well spill the rest.“Because,” She looked away with one left hand on her right elbow, “Jena doesn’t want to leave you alone and go with him.”My eyes went wide as my mouth was left hanging. It’s me again? She’s doing something for me again?!! She’s sacrificing her happiness for me, again!??
