Ch 19: Rose
I didn’t sleep well the night of the party. I kept having to help Kimia to the bathroom. I trust Sarina’s judgement about having Kimia drink a lot of water to flush what was left out of her system, but it was damned inconvenient.
“Rose,” Kimia woke me up with a hoarse voice.
“Humm?” I said not moving from my trundle bed.
“How did we get home last night?”
“We walked. Sarina drove the car back.”
“Oh.” She paused for a few moments to think it over. I was starting to drift back to sleep when she said, “Why did Rina drive the car back?”

Graycorts Ch 20: Kamron
With half the school grounded for the foreseeable future, life got pretty boring for a while. Jeremy was miserable. He hates being cooped up at home with nothing to do but homework. Maybe he’ll get higher than a B+ average for once. Nate was sent to live with his dad. His mom thought that his friends were bad influences. I had some suspicions as to who had brought the booze, but I couldn’t confirm anything.The peppermint schnapps wasn’t that odd of a feature at parties. Someone had spread a rumor around that the smell of peppermint from the schnapps would cover the smell of booze. Totally not true, well in my house anyway. I was more concerned about the ketamine.With nothing serious going on, I took advantage of the internet to figure out who would have access to it. Unless whoever spiked the schnapps got it
Graycorts Ch 21: Rose
Kamron is a certified coward. If he’s really a wolf, why would he be scared to tell the truth to Simon? I don’t know. Maybe super strength isn’t a thing with real werewolves. Stupid reality. Why does it always have to come crashing in and destroying my marvelous fantasies about feeling tingles when I touch someone’s hand thereby finding my mate and becoming a stronger version of myself.I’m a pretty weak human. I’m shorter than average, I have a small pouch where I wish I had abs, and I can barely do a push up, let alone a pull up. Even the humans in my stories are stronger than I am. Well, most stories. Sometimes the girl is weak.Monday was fairly uneventful, at first. There was the usual friendly banter in History, the becoming increasingly annoying flirting in Science, and the tortu
Graycorts Ch 22: Kamron
“Kamron!” The shout came from behind me as I was walking toward my bus stop. I turned to find a petite girl with dirty blonde hair, a bright smile, and freckles across her nose. Cute, but not Rose.“What’s up, Amanda?” I asked. I suppose she’s going to ask me to the spring dance, and I still haven’t figured out what to tell her. I wanted Rose to ask me, but she didn’t, and I’m too much of a pansy to ask her. I had wanted to ask Rose to the winter formal in January, but chickened out. Jeremy tried to hide it by asking Kimi to the dance and suggesting we double. Damn, I have a good friend. In the end, I asked Hannah Goldstein. It was fun, but not as much fun as I would have had with Rose, and then I had to figure out a nice way of letting Hannah know that I wasn’t interested in more than friendship.
Graycorts Ch 23: Rose
Damn Kamron. He just had to tell Amanda he’d go to the spring dance with her, and then he just had to accuse me of jealousy! Ugh! I hate that I’m thinking of one of my best friends in that way! Maybe I should have asked him, but I still don’t want to ruin our friendship. I had done some thinking after I realized how I feel about him, and I decided that having him as a friend is way better than not having him at all. Stupid logic.Nate and I walked into science the day after Amanda asked Kamron to the dance to find Kimia staring into space. She looked stunned, and a bit pale. Something was wrong, and I was going to find out what it was.“Kimia, are you there?” I waved a hand in front of her face.“Huh?” she said.
Graycorts Ch 24: Kamron
“I fucked up.” I closed my locker and found my sister with her head against the locker next to mine.“Hello to you too,” I said.“Rose is mad at me.”“Why is Rose mad at you?” It was rare for the two of them to fight, although Kimi usually got mad at Rose for something stupid, not the other way around.“I asked Simon to the spring dance,” Kimi sighed.“And Rose wanted to ask him first?” I asked, confused.Kimi glared at me with one eye. “No, but she asked Nate so I wouldn’t have to go alone and be nervou
Graycorts Ch 25: Rose
Kamron was kissing me. I let myself get enchanted by his gray eyes, and his thumb left my lips a little tingly, but his lips! His amazing warm lips! They were on mine, and his eyes were closed. I froze. I had no idea what to do for a second. Eventually, my eyes closed, and my lips relaxed. I focused on the sensations he caused.His kiss was soft, and warm. He gently cradled my head in his large hands, and began to part his lips against mine. I mimicked his actions, and felt myself sigh. I could feel his lips quirk up a bit before returning their focus. As far as first kisses go, I would have to say this was amazing!A rhythmic whacking against my leg brought me back to reality. I broke the kiss to look down at Kimia. She looked way too pleased for a wolf. I can’t believe I forgot about her. I could feel the blush rising i
Graycorts Ch 26: Kamron
I was grinning like an idiot the rest of the day after I’d kissed Rose. I couldn’t believe she’d kissed me back! Kimi, Rina, Mina, and Mom all teased me when Kimi announced the reason I was in a good mood at dinner. I was too happy I’d finally manned up and kissed Rose to be too embarrassed by my family.Kimi was the one who brought me back to earth before bed. “Thanks for distracting Rose from being mad at me. That kiss was genius.”Did Rose think I kissed her to distract her? “Yeah. No problem. Anything for you.”“And you should thank me for talking Rose into joining your group for the dance.”“You talked her into it?” I was confused. I though
Graycorts Ch 27: Rose
They had decorated the gym to look like a tacky Hawaiian forest. They had fake greenery all over the walls, bright streamers, and exotic looking fake flowers. The tables that held the water and punch were lined with fake grass, a DJ was set up at one end with colored laser lights.Nate had been a bit of an octopus during the date, but I sort of expected it. Kimia hadn’t seemed to need much help with Simon. He appeared to be enjoying spending time with Kimia. There was some chemistry there.Nate pulled me onto the dance floor, and he was a pretty good dancer. “Having fun, beautiful?” he asked.“Well, I’m not not having fun,” I teased him. I really don’t want to encourage them, especially after that kiss from Kamron last week. Th
