Celeste had hot coffee in her hands, covered in a huge blanket, while Jake sat next to her fully clothed. They sat on Dahlia's porch stairs conversing. Dahlia stood behind the door, eavesdropping.
"Just two days and I already miss you" Celeste said giving out a chuckle."Thank you, if you hadn't interrupted I would have killed her" Jake said holding her palms."You don't need to thank me really.....so, how's your life here?""Dahlia's helping me figure things out""It was a bad idea to let you live eighteen years of your life in the woods" Celeste said and they both agreed to it. There was a moment of silence then Jake spoke."How's Nathaniel?" He asked. Celeste was quite surprised that he would even ask of someone who was supposed to be his foe now. She told him that he led the pack well and that she was his beta. Jake smiled and congratulated her joking about Celeste beating him was as a result of her higher ranking. Celeste then proclaimed that even if she was an Omega and he was an alpha, she would still beat him in battle. They both laughed it off."What about that guy?" Jake asked Celeste and immediately her expression changed."I'm still trying to forget about him" Celeste said. There was a momentary silence then Celeste got up from the staircase and decided to go back to the pack. Dahlia came outside to see her off."Thank you, Celeste" Dahlia stuttered."And thank you, for taking care of Jake for me" Celeste said. She went over to Jake and gave him a light kiss on his cheeks. She returned the blanket to Dahlia and was naked. She bid Jake farewell and turned into a wolf heading for the woods.Jake and Dahlia went inside their bedroom. He asked of Sky and Jade. She told him that Sky was fine and that she didn't notice a thing. She also said that Jade had terrible injuries on her leg but she healed her in her unconsciousness. But there will surely be a mark left. They just had to make sure she wouldn't get all suspicious.They laid down on the bed with Jake's face facing Dahlia's toes and vice versa."Celeste really loves you" Dahlia said."Yeah" Jake said"You must be really lucky to have someone like her" Dahlia said and Jake admitted to it. Soon, they had fallen asleep. *******************Celeste wore her clothes after turning human again. As she wore them Nathaniel held her by the throat and forcefully leaned her against a tree."Where are you coming from Celeste?" Nathaniel asked angrily."Get your fucking hands off me" Celeste demanded while struggling to speak."That's no way to talk to your Alpha" Nathaniel proposed as he held her throat with a very firm grip. She was struggling to breathe then Nathaniel let her go. She began panting and gasping for air."Let me guess, you went to see that rogue" Nathaniel said in disgust."He's your best friend's son!" Celeste said in anger."Alaric was a fool, it was his love for that human girl that wiped out a quarter of our population!" Nathaniel retorted."There you go again Nathaniel, you're not the only one that lost someone that day.....I lost my twin brother too!""I lost my daughter Celeste! My daugh-ter! You of all people should understand......oh wait you can never understand because you're too busy falling for someone that will never love you" Nathaniel said mocking Celeste. Out of anger, Celeste brought out her class and abruptly ran them through Nathaniel's face."The little wolf is mad" Nathaniel jeered as his face began healing."You know nothing about love Nathaniel!" Celeste retorted."Says the person no one has ever loved. Tell me, Celeste, you saved his life and what did he do in return....did he love you? No. I'm very sure out there you saved him from himself, again, and what did do? Did he love you? No. That boy will never love you Celeste, he would only see you as his fucking friend!" Nathaniel said with a huge grin on his face."You will die by Anika's side alone, and the both of you will rot in hell with no one to remember you" Celeste proclaimed, spitting on his face and then leaving his sight. *********************Meanwhile, Miss Flora had gone back to the school to check on her students, just to see that the school had turned upside down and the students were no longer in class."What the hell happened here?" She asked herself. *********************The next morning, the school's principal called in Miss Flora to explain what had happened, while he had constructors fix the damages done and the janitors do their job. Miss Flora couldn't answer his questions. She told him that she had something urgent to attend to so she left the students for quite some time and when she had returned, they were all gone and the school was not how she had left it.The principal then called in the four students one after the other."Jake and I went out of the class to discuss family matters when we saw a wolf. It was in the janitor's closet, so we held it off by locking it in" Dahlia explained."Dahlia rushed to tell Jade and I that they had just seen a wolf and that she should take cover" Sky explained."I personally was terrified, I was like oh my God....is this the end? Cause literally, it felt like it fucking was" Jade explained."I was hiding throughout, I don't know what happened" Jake stuttered."Then we heard Jade screaming and we thought maybe she was......you know......" Sky said running her right thumb over her neck signifying the word dead."I ran downstairs to see if there was anything I could do but then another wolf came in and they fought it out like crazy" Dahlia explained."The wolf had me like it had me. From there I just like fainted so I don't know the rest of the story" Jade explained."I was still hiding" Jake said."I'm pretty sure that both wolves fell in love with each other and ran away" Sky said.With all the explanations the principal heard, he was convinced that the four of them were all lunatics. He punished them by putting them on toilet duty for two weeks. He put them in pairs; Dahlia and Jade and Sky and Jake. Jade was angry that she didn't get Jake as her partner so she told the principal about it and he doubles her punishment by making her wash his new car.Sky told Dahlia that she wants to exchange partners but Dahlia refused, telling her that it was about time they had a real conversation and Sky agreed to it.Jake and Dahlia got home and after a stressful day at school, Jake went to bed. Dahlia laid down about to take a nap when her eyes fell on Jake's journal. She double-checked to see if Jake was already fast asleep and she confirmed that he was. She grabbed his journal and read everything he had written down. Towards the end, she saw when Jake relates their relationship to that of Celeste and his (refer to chapter four, the last paragraph where he says Dahlia is my Celeste), and she began panicking. She looked at him afraid."Does he love me?"It was the next day, and Dahlia and Jake were already preparing for school. She had just gotten out of the bathroom ready to dress up and Jake was lying on the bed reading a pocket novel. She was hesitant to dress up in front of him as she would normally do due to her recent discovery of Jake's love for her."I don't know why I find this book very intriguing, it's so cliche in as many ways possible. It's about a boy who falls in love with this stranger that helped him" Jake said as he chuckled."Do you think he should have fallen in love with the girl who helped him?" Dahlia asked unsurely."Giving by the way she cared for him like she had known him for quite a long time, I'd say it's inevitable" Jake replied as he flipped the pages over.Dahlia became afraid. She didn't want Jake to love her. She took her clothes to the bathroom so she could dress up there. Jake noticed her as she did so and was surprised."Oh, so now you feel embarrassed?" Jake jeered."Or maybe I just feel like a w
Jade and Dahlia were cleaning the toilet when Jade pulled out a ball of hair from the toilet."Ewwww!" Jade said in disgust as she quickly disposed of it in a trash can."Darn these public schools" Dahlia complained. She did the finishing touch and then they were done. They sat by the bathroom door and conversed."Dahly, can I tell you a secret?" Jade asked concerned."It's Dahlia, and what is it?" Dahlia asked in annoyance."It's about the mark... I think I might be a werewolf" Dahlia laughed but Jade was more serious than ever."It's true, my wound healed up quickly and I didn't even need to go to the hospital" Jade said in her defence."Jade, you're not a fucking werewolf, if you were, the whole world would know""I swear to you I am!""Cut yourself" Dahlia declared."What the fuck?" Jade asked confused."You healing quickly was a coincidence, but since you don't wanna believe me...here, cut yourself" Dahlia said giving her a compass that she had just gotten from her backpack. Ja
It had been quite some time and Jake hadn't returned home. Dahlia was worried so she called Sky asking if Jake was still with her and she affirmed it. She asked for their location and Sky directed her to them.Jake and Sky scavenged through his late mother's stuff, looking for anything that could be useful to him. As jake searched, he stumbled upon her journal. He skimmed through the pages when his eyes fell on a line where she described Alaric; his father, as a perfect start. He smiled and continued reading the things she had to say about his dad when Sky called his attention."She was beautiful" Sky confessed as looked at a printed picture of Edith. Jake went over to Sky and gently collected the picture to see for himself. He set his eyes on her and immediately, tears began rolling down his cheeks. Sky hugged him, comforting him."You should take the picture" she advised. Jake folded the picture and put it in his pocket. They continued scavenging."This place doesn't look dusty at a
Paak's utterances left a mark on Jake's memory. He never forgot about what he was told. He decided to give love a try and there was no one better to try it with other than..."Sky!" Jake called out to get her attention among students who were just coming out of classes."Oh, hey...what's up?" Sky asked quite shocked."I was wondering if I could stay at your place while Jade and Dahlia are on toilet duty...there's this problem I have with math and I...""Okay, this is a bit weird...Jake wants to stay over, are you sure?""Are you okay with it?""Of course, I'm just shocked that's all""Okay...cool""Great""Awesome" Jake replied then there was a brief moment of silence."I'm gonna go now" Sky said already getting uncomfortable with the whole situation. The moment she left, Jade came along. She held Jake by his arms and walked down the halls with him."You and I would make a perfect couple Jake. Just imagine it! Our couple's name would be... Jade! Oh my God, that's literally so perfect.
Sky had been avoiding Jake ever since their awkward make-out in her bedroom. Their eyes had met each other countless times but Sky would deliberately ignore Jake."Just go talk to him" Dahlia begged Sky but she refused to."Sky, you two really need to talk""I don't even know what to say to him" Sky confessed confused."You guys are on toilet duty, you'll have plenty of time to pour your heart out""About that... I'm calling in sick, cause I think I've got a fever" Sky lied."You're not escaping this Sky... I just want you to know that Jake will never hurt you intentionally. Besides, you like him, and I know you still do""I'm scared... I don't know if I can do this" Sky admitted."You can... I know you can. Few minutes until school is over... Good luck" Dahlia wished Sky as she hugged her.School was over and it was time for Sky to face who she had been avoiding all day long. Her heart raced when she began cleaning the toilet with Jake, but she didn't let Jake perceive her fear. They
Sky and Jake began visiting each other frequently. Sometimes to study whenever Jade and Dahlia were on toilet duty and most times for the fun of it. Though they didn't make their newly founded bond public, they still expressed an immense love for each other.While Jade and Dahlia were on toilet duty, Jake was at Sky's working on a chemistry assignment. Jake kept on starting at Sky sexually but Sky was focused on the assignment. She noticed the looks Jake gave her."Jake, come on be serious. I don't want my grades to go down any less than it already has. My mum is gonna tell my uncles and they are gonna kill me" Sky stressed."Oh my God...my girlfriend is a nerd" Jake groaned. Sky was left astonished by his statement."Did you just call me your girlfriend?" Sky asked smiling."You don't wanna be my..." Jake said but was cut short when Sky kissed him."I wanna be your girlfriend" Sky said and they continued. Their little romance session was cut short when her mum entered the room withou
The principal had gathered all four students who he had punished in his office. He told them to repeat after him;"I, Dahlia Kean, promise to never be a delinquent of Gilmore high""I, Sky Pearce, promise to never be a delinquent of Gilmore high""I, Jade Dunlop, promise to never be a delinquent of Gilmore high""I, Jake, promise to never be a delinquent of Gilmore high""You all go against my will and I'll make you just might never ever graduate...am I understood?" The principal demanded. The three girls nodded their heads in affirmation but Jake stood there silent as his mind went through memory lane.FLASHBACK "So my boy, you are of the mating age. When will you pick one of these fine female wolves to be your Luna?" Nathaniel asked Jake as they wandered around the woods."No one here is fit to be my potential mate" Jake proclaimed."So you let the moon goddess choose for you, is that so?" Nathaniel asked."I will go against her will if she chooses one that does not suit""She cre
After school, Jade decided to follow Dahlia and Jake home. As Dahlia drove, Jade did the same trailing behind them without any of them noticing her. They got home and parked right in front of their house. Jade parked close to their house and watched them silently.Jake got out of the car angrily and he slammed the car door hard."Hey, you have no right to treat my car like that!" Dahlia shouted as she slammed her car door shut and angrily chased after Jake. Jake saw Dahlia's grandad drinking coffee and greeted him using sign language and he smiled then Dahlia came in and greeted him likewise. He noticed something was wrong with both of them and followed them as they quarrelled. They headed for their room to settle their dispute."Jake, I'm talking to you!" Dahlia demanded bringing Jake to a halt."What else do you want from me Dahlia?!" Jake asked annoyed."You don't think! That's my problem with you, you do not think! If Jade manages to gain any lead on you we are done for!" "It was
