“Wait, so… you accept me?” I asked him just to be sure. “Hermione.” That was the second time he called me by my name. He was staring at me and I thought I was going to drown in those hazel eyes. “There is no other way to solve this.” He looked away and sipped from his straw. “Besides, it would be like taking a candy from a baby. At least for Derrick.” He snorted and I frowned. “So you are only doing this to get to Derrick?” I was crushed. Hector is an ass. Why would he think doing these things is fun? “You the one who thinks I’m hot.” My cheeks burned with undiluted embarrassment. My hair was up in a half ponytail so it wasn’t able to help. “I don’t, and how would you know?” I snapped. He gave me an amused look with one eyebrow arched. Was it a werewolf thing? Hell no! if it was then my thoughts were absolutely not private anymore. I drank my vanilla milkshake and cleared my throat to change the topic. “Mabel is planning something.” “I know.” He said in a monotone. “Oh really?”

“I want my name off the list.” I told the girl with the kinky afro. Her eyes sized me up before she blew her gum and loudly popped it. “You are supposed to come at lunch break not morning, mornings are for the organizers’ meetings.” The hall only had about four people in it if I was excluded. Two were doing splits at the far end and the other two were sitting before me looking uninterested. “Well I’m here now. Might as well just do it.” She gave me a dirty look before she switched on the Tab on her desk and did some annoying clicking with her long fingernails. Her partner beside her was painting hers a neon sky blue. I glanced at the name tags on the desk and the black girl’s name was Britney. Her partner’s name was Joy. “Your name is not on the list.” The gum girl said. I could see her pink gum move in all directions in her open mouth. “I signed up yesterday, check again.” I told her. “Your name is not under any of the main character’s, Hermione.” Britney said before rolling her
Crescent Reflection Chapter Twenty-Two
“Hermione.” Aunt Courtney had a calm look on her face. “Do you have something to tell us?” I shifted on my seat as Annalise brought mashed potatoes to the dinner table. “I don’t understand.” My heart was skipping important beats and I was afraid I might get struck with a panic attack. Couldn’t she have waited until after dinner? “The school called and informed me that you got a one-month detention.” Aunt Courtney sounded like my mother right there. But mother would have been furious and wouldn’t talk to me until the next day when she would be calm enough to address me. “I can’t say I’m surprised. I saw it coming, I just did not think it would come this soon.” “Courtney, that’s not fair. We did not even get to hear her side of the story.” Uncle Michael tried to reason. “Ok then. Let us hear it.” My mother’s sister encouraged. I cleared my throat then looked at Ken for assistance. “Mom, those girls have been bullying Maya since she entered into that school. She was just defending

Ms. Judith said that we had to wait until the end of the week to know who the characters would be because they wanted the characters to be picked all at once and then the following week we will go ahead with rehearsals. I was just praying they give me a low-key position. She said the students who were not picked will form the dancers and the rest will be fillers that will get small parts in the play. The buzzer sounded and I went to my fourth class. I was walking in the hall when Bree blocked my way. “Just so you know, Hermione. I plan on winning that position, so don’t get in my way.” She sized me up and tossed her hair off her shoulders. “Wow, so you do know my name.” I nodded looking impressed. “Well, I wish you nothing but luck.” I walked pass her to my class because I was not about to get suspended for confronting this girl. “That was amazing.” Derrick said. He was seated behind me in the Math class.“Thank you.”“You will surely get that position.” He commented. I did not re

My heavy eyes blinked open lazily as bright light hit my face. I was disoriented and weak. My arms were tied tight enough to obstruct circulation and my head pounded rhythmically with a throbbing headache. I was too dazed to make out where I was and too weak to focus. What could anyone do if they were tied up with ropes that were attached to the roof?I bent my head to look down at the jewel that failed to alert me fast enough about the danger that already took over. It was still stuck at gray. Not shocking. I looked around me in the room and did not find anyone. The place looked like a slaughter house, with large white plastics for curtains and a steal table in the corner. It reminded me of how a theatre room in hospitals would look like but a lot more… scary. There was a ventilator above and little drops of blood here and there on the curtain.This was a damn slaughter house!My heart started beating fast and I could not hold myself. I knew I was playing with fire when I decided to

We were not driving home. The deformed Harley Quinn girl in the front seat was taking routes that were unfamiliar to me. “Hector?” I called out to him in a breathless whisper. My energy levels were deteriorating faster than a damaged phone battery. It was late in the afternoon and the sun was saying its last goodbyes before heading off to sleep. “Where are we going?” I asked him after I got a hum as a response. “My place.” He told me. His voice was much deeper and louder now that my head was resting on his shoulder. “Why your place?” Ken asked. Ken was not happy that Hector had his arms around me. He tried to protest before we got into the car when Hector wanted to place me by his door then Hector eventually allowed me to sit in the middle between him and Ken to maintain peace. Ken was just being a little too extra. Unnecessarily. “You need to get that thing out of your systems.” Hector said. I wasn’t understanding him so I picked my head up to look at him but it started throbbing

There was pin-drop silence. No one did anything but stare at my necklace. For a minute, I thought the necklace was a dead giveaway that I was Mabel’s relative-well that was if the resemblance failed to alert them. “It looks ok, nothing interesting.” Lucia said with an eye roll. “Let me guess, you bought it at an old, boring antique store for a dollar or something?” This one held a lot of Hector’s snobby attitude that I have been made to deal with for weeks. If this was not a family dinner table filled with people Hector cherish a lot, I would’ve said a good comeback. “Um… yeah.” I replied and the tension in the room slowly died down. I could visibly see Hector exhale. The buzzing was back and I slowly put away the necklace and dug into my food. “So Hermione.” Emilio started and I already dreaded what he was going to say next. “How did you and Bernardo meet?” “Bernardo?” I turned to Hector with a look of shock and he had his face squeezed facing the ceiling. Dying internally. This

Ken and I were driven home around 10am. We got home about 30 minutes later and I was glad aunt Courtney was not home. Annalise said uncle Michael took her grocery shopping so she was going to be out for a while. I went upstairs and dumped myself on the bed. It’s been a long morning and I needed my little nap because this hot weather was adding to me being drained. I did sleep, but I did not think I was going to end up sleeping for the whole day. When I woke up it was around 3pm. I could hear voices coming from down stairs so I rushed down to see Ken arguing with his mother. Apparently his car was found in the middle of nowhere by someone the family knew since aunt Courtney tracked the car before hearing from Ken. Luckily it was taken care of and the person was good enough to put in a word to the insurance company to sort things out. About Ken’s face, he blamed it on soccer and having a fallout with someone in the team but the situation was sorted. I doubt she was going to believe t
