"Who might that be?" I wondered.
My father left the room quickly. I could hear him talking with someone. It sounded like Peter. "Its my friend from school. Let him in!" I shouted My mother looked at me a stern cold face. She disliked visitor's. "We will have this conversation after your friend has left. Those dogs can't get away with hurting my daughter! I won't let them." Mavis pressed. I heard footsteps approaching. The door opened wide. I smiled as I saw Peter standing there. But what I could understand was why he brought a mouse with him. I never liked Sandra. She was always so picky and acting clean and innocent. She represented everything I hated. She was too good. Nothing like Peter. "Oh look darling, your friends from school have come to see you." George said with a wide pretense smile on his face. "Come closer." I said. I could see the eagerness in Peter's eyes, he feared me and that turned me on. "Don't be afraid, go to her. She's doing much better now." Said George.Peter placed the paperwork on the side of my bed, his large hands were shaking. I stared into his hazel eyes and could see his wildest desires. "How do you feel?" I giggled. "Do you really want to know, or should I show you?" I asked. "No not here. Everyone's watching.." Peter whispered. I could see his forehead already being filled with the sweat of his insecurities. I laughed. My parents eyed each other with confusion. I had kept my activities with Peter a secret from them. If they knew how I felt about Peter, they would destroy my fun. "Sandra was concerned about you. So I told her to come with me." That name alone felt like an illness deepening through my soul. I hated it. "How nice of her." The words alone were hard to release. Peter turned to face his friend. I could see Sandra smile and wave at me. "Hey." She said in a squaky annoying voice. My jealousy increased. I wanted to cut her throat, right there. My parents could feel the heat in my body from across the room. They sensed my anger. "Jessica dear, you've been up for a while but have eaten nothing since now. How about you meet with your friends another day." Mavis pleaded. I was so disappointed with my mother for disturbing me. If only she would allow me to use my magic anytime I wanted but that's not the case for the Winslow teenager, I guess. I watched as my lovely crush walk away. The mouse followed behind him. I could hear the main front door closing. I was so angry. I grabbed the paperwork and threw it in the air. "Calm yourself!" Mavis shouted. "I want to kill her!" "We don't kill without a valid reason." I laughed at my mother's hypocritical comment. I guess the best witches according to her were the best liars. JakeSeeing my father leave was sad. But I have to admit that it was also wonderful. I could at least have a peace of mind. No more comments about how I should live my life or how I should aspire to be future Daniel. In simple words. It felt awesome whenever my father was away. I could be my true self without even having to pretend. I played rock songs from my Bluetooth speaker and enjoyed myself with some meat snacks. Definitely not raw meat like my father. I made my own very mixture of alcohol as if i was a professional at making cocktails but of course I wasnt. I took a sip and was satisfied with the results. I finished an entire bottle of vodka even as I knew well without a doubt that i couldn't be drunk because i was a werewolf. I heard the door bell ring, I knew that it could only Paul and indeed I was right. I made crazy dance move and enjoyed the music even more. "Ahem!" Said Paul, clearing his voice. Coach didn't seem happy. I immediately lowered the loud sound. "What's wrong now, you're moping on a weekend?""It might be a weekend but I must do my job. Your father asked that I check up on you regularly just to make sure things go accordingly." I laughed."But I didn't do anything wrong. Did he hire you to babysit me?" "Something like that." I couldn't believe the nerve. "I thought I told him that I'm old enough to take care of myself." I protested. Paul eyed me. "You know all parents are overprotective about their children. That's why he did that." He said. "Well I think it would be better my father would start trusting me instead of always expecting me to do bad. He wasn't being overprotective, he was just concerned that I would ruin his furniture as well as his reputation. That's all that matter's to him." I began to tidy up the room. The music didn't feel as fun anymore. "One thing I know about Daniel is that he doesn't speak lies. He loves you very much." Paul pressed. "Well at least you'll be my babysitter. I don't want a stranger." I teased. Paul's expression changed. I guess he felt offended. "I won't be your babysitter, I will be in my house but still checking on your well being." "Do you mean that you won't stay here with me?" Paul nodded. I felt like giving coach a big hug but then that's what humans do. Werewolves don't do hugs. "I want to bring someone special." "Sandra?" "Yes." Paul laughed. "Make sure that no one other than me knows that you and her are a legit couple." He advised. "We are not yet a couple but we will be as soon as I get her to agree to be mine." "Then what are you waiting for? If you don't express yourself to her someone else will."I felt hopel because coach was supportive. "So you are not against me and.." "I am not your father, but I will always care about your happiness." I felt relieved. "That means a lot to me. Because of those wise words I'll ask my father to give you a raise." Paul chuckled. "Now you are overstepping the boundary. If I need a raise, I'll tell Daniel myself. Remember don't let the others know." He pressed.
SandraCornerstone high school was overcrowded with many pupils. News travelled fast that Jake and I were a couple even as we were not. I felt offended. I mean what was there to like about the guy? He was a snob and he wasn't that hot as some of the girls said. It was embarrassing how they would drool over him... I didn't understand what they saw there. I admit, Jake and I had made it a habit to walk at the school premises together. We ate together during lunch and even went to the school library together. Perhaps that's why people considered us a couple. Well I was uncomfortable with that, neither was Peter..I think. He was growing distant from us. And that was worrying me"I managed to get three tickets to see the famous Hayden that you've been telling me about." Said Jake, placing the tickets on the table. I was filled with so much excitement that I screamed out loud without intending to do so. I had such a big crush on Hayden. My favourite musician of all times. "Oh my God.
Sandra I found it hard to sleep without at least resolving things with Peter. We have always been close friends. I wondered what was happening to us. I didn't like how bad things were becoming. Our friendship was on rocky ice. It was unstable. I wondered if Jake was the culprit. But then again, how could he? He had been so kind to the both us. That he would even suggest that the three of us go and watch Hayden together. It just didnt make any sense. So if Jake wasn't the problem then who was? I wondered. Suddenly, I received a call. The number was blank. Out if curiousity. I decided to answer it. "Jake is not a good boy, he's an animal. He can be slaughtered easily, but we live forever." Said a voice, it sounded machine operated. I was shocked. I felt the need to contact the snob, can you imagine? I was surprised because he actually answered."Sandra, is that you?".I felt slightly irritable "Its a ghost from another planet." I teased.. Jake did not laugh but was silent. I cou
Peter I had been moody for some time. I didn't understand what was happening to me. Ever since Jess was in an accident, I had been stressed for her. I had always had a crush on her. She had that fire in her. The kind of strength that attracted me. She was of course attractive as well. I loved her brown eyes and her rustic her and that Rock and roll look she would put on. It suited her and that personality she had. But most of all I loved the fact that she was kind to others. When I found out that she was involved in helping at an old age home I was smitten. I knew that she was the one for me. A selfless beauty queen. I knew I had to make her mine. I didn't even have to confess my feelings for her. I just did good things for her.. then one day, she just kissed me and gave me a gift. A ring. She probably wanted me to think of it as a promise ring. I kept her word and kept it a secret from everyone to respect her wishes. Instead of putting it on my finger, I placed it around my neck for
SandraMy body was feeling strained because of all my long continuous thinking. I just couldn't stop worrying about Peter. He had been acting strange for weeks, withdrawing from our usual activities and spending more and more time with Jessica. Hold on! Ever since those two have started dating, Peter had been acting strange. I mean, I'm happy that they are a couple now, even as I've never seen them walk together in public. But it's unfair how the only friend I've ever known is treating me now. I don't know what could be the reason for his hatred towards me. You'd swear I did something. Or does he think I despise his girlfriend? Peter and I had always been very close. I could feel the tears in my eyes just thinking about what he and i used to do together. When i was 8 years old, my frog Alfie was murdered by one of the Finley sisters, Alice . She had made it seem like a mere accident but Peter had seen everything. Everyone was afraid of reporting Alice to the principal because she ha
Jess What had just happened? was the question running in my mind. I had done all according to how the ritual is said to be done. Peter was supposed to be obedient. My mother suddenly entered the living room. She was in awe, like me. "What was Peter doing here?" She asked. I could feel my body heating up. "He knows what I am!" I shouted. "What! How could he have known?" My mother shouted, angrily. "He caught me when I was trying to enchant him with a spell." I could see the disappointment in my mother's eyes "I can't believe this. Now I have to clean up for your mess, again!" She said. "You want to kill him?" I asked, worried. "Yes. If I don't. Everyone in this community will come for us and we will all be dead." Just then, George burst into the room, his face pale and his eyes wide with fear. "I just saw Peter driving away angrily. Are you having problems with him?" My father asked. "What did he say to you?" I asked, my heart racing."He said nothing. He looked at me
Sandra What is going on here? My heart wondered. I hadn't expected to see Jake until Monday. Moreover, seeing him with my mother was bizarre. Knowing her, she probably wanted to know more about Jake's background. Her smile made me even more uncomfortable. I wondered what kind of interrogation was taking place before I even stepped into the room. Alas, will her detective waging curiousity ever end? "Jake?" I exclaimed. The snob stared at me with a smile. He seemed uneasy, his right forefinger kept tapping. My mother however seemed calm and very proud. She was seated uprightly. "How come you never told me about how interesting your friend is. He's a really good role model for your peers." Said Estelle. I became even more worried. "Mom I hope you'll find everything you need in there. Jake let's go outside." I said, leaving the grocery bags on the table. My mother motioned that she was keeping her eye on me. I felt irritated by the notion. I led the snob away from the house as I c
JakeThe sun had just disappeared when I arrived back home. Somehow I had wished that my day with Sandra would never end. She's always been interesting. She unlike every other girl I've met, did not seem gullible and simple to throw herself at me. She was fierce as well as brave enough to speak her mind. I still can't believe we nearly kissed. I could hear the sound of her heartbeat. Her skin glowed so beautifully in the sun. I couldn't contain my yearning for her. I wanted a taste of her love. A kiss would unlock our feelings for each other but her heart would be a fine reward. As I was reminiscing about Sandra, i suddenly had footsteps approach the gate to the house. I looked at the camera screen and realised it was Paul. "What's he doing here?" I wondered. I unlocked the door with a remote control and headed downstairs to meet with the coach. He was relieved to see me, but I could sense there was more to his visit then meets the eye. "Make yourself at home!" I remarked. Coach m
PeterI had been trying to reach Sandra for two days but she never even returned any of my missed calls. I didn't blame her. That's what I deserved. Afterall I was rude to her and Jake. I had seen her at school but I tried to keep my distance as I was afraid of telling her what Jake was. It wasn't my place to do so especially because he was protective of her and knew more than I thought I knew. Things I thought I knew about Jess that were hidden from me. My head was able to reason better after I took out the necklace. But I still needed clarity, I needed answers as to why my girlfriend would keep her identity a secret from me. I approached my locker, eager to grab my books and attend the next class. But as I opened the door, i found a letter tucked inside. It was from Jess. My heart skipped a beat as I began to go through the word's written. "Hey. I'm sorry about the other day. I didn't mean to scare you off like that. I am a witch. Its a part of my family's history and I don't know
