Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 73: To and Too
"Harriet! It's time to go!" It's the first time I would go out without any supervision of someone older than me, Tyler, Blake, and Aether left first thing in the morning today to do some 'business' as Blake liked to call it. Because Andrea left me when I was sick, I would be alone in the two houses, but the timing's perfect, Neneuis invited me to go to their home. So Tyler gave in and let me go with them, this late afternoon would be our departure, and Nene said we're riding the train. "It's still early Nene, help us first pack our clothes," Lea said, I'm with her, I'm in the middle of still packing my things and Lea lend me a helping hand. "It's crazy how we need to give Tyler reasons just to let Harriet come with us," Lea commented, folding the purple shirt, that I don't like wearing because it has a hole design just above the chest area. "You said it right! I wonder what's the real deal between you two? Are you in a relationship with him?" Neneuis inquired, looking at her fac
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 74: Want to be friends?
"Oh no, if I had known you'll bring your friend, I would've got you a grander gift." Mrs. Wander was a tall middle-aged woman who was not fat but not too skinny. She had wrinkles on her face and a prominent burned scar on her hands. "Oh no, this is too much already, Mrs. Wander, we're just away for days, we appreciate you," Neneuis said, touched by the gesture. We went inside a house that's made of wood trunks and was surprised when I saw the inside, it has the same color as when you cut the wood in two. We saw a man in a jumper holding a brush and a small bucket of paint exiting from the same door that we entered. "By the way, meet my son, Joshua Peterson. He helped Azi with his flamingo figurines." Mrs. Wanders proudly spoke of her son like he's her prize possession, I think that's normal from a mother. I hope my late mom thinks the same, too. "I'm Harriet," I said and offered my hand. Joshua was also tall, a bit muscly, and has a duck-shaped lip but was good-looking. "Hey,"
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 75: The Unlucky One
"Hey, why did you leave me?" What I said may sound like I'm accusing someone, but really, I'm not. "I'm sorry Harriet, the townspeople want us to be there for a while, it's an event that have been talked and scheduled for awhile now, so it can't be help," Neneuis explained, but I forced my self to smile at them and be happy. "It's okay, it's not like it can be helped." I shrugged and continued putting the cases of the throw pillows in the living room. It's not like it can be helped. Those words taste bitter in my tongue. Did I really sleep for an hour and was unable to wake up? That's why they decided to leave? I shrugged that feeling of uneasiness and arranged the newly washed pillow with cases on the sofa. It's been a day since that happened, but the feeling of discomfort takes me back to the day Joshua told me those words, I could've been mistaken but those words really felt like it bags meaning in them.... or am I wrong? What does he mean by sometimes love don't work? A ch
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 76: Like the Plan
My eyes bulged, and I straightened my posture. my aching hand woke me to reality. "Ouch!" My hand got stabbed by the barbecue stick. "Harriet!" I looked at Lukas, who came immediately to my rescue and all the others too. Nene looked at my hand, and Lea came forward to clean it. It's a relief that the stab only went to the skin, though. Only a little blood gushed out, and I'm happy that Lea wanted to treat my wound. "You should be careful next time," she said, cleaning the wounded part with cotton balls. It stings, but I couldn't help but smile. "I thought you were mad at me. Thank you for talking to me." Lea avoided my gaze and at the same time murmured something in herself, I couldn’t fathom it, and she put the cotton ball hard to my wound that I cried for help. “Lea, that’s too much!” I exclaimed, taking away my hand, Nene and the others couldn’t hear us because they continued grilling the meat, and we were inside the tent, so I looked at her with teary eyes. “What did I do
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 77: Because It's The First Time
“This is so sweet, Harriet what’s your answer?” Neneuis squealed, getting really overwhelmed more than me. I watched as the boys cheered on, and Lea pointed her camera towards us. To hell I care where she got it, but my brows furrowed even further as I stood up with my balled fist, I now know what’s their agenda. I turned to Joshua, and I wanted to rip him apart from taking part in this. The cheering stopped as soon as I also reach my boiling point and I want to scream at everyone around me, I couldn’t control myself, my chest heaved, it feels hot all of a sudden and my vision started to become blurry. “Stop this!” Someone roared, and I was pushed back to the ground when the wolf on the necklace suddenly jumped out. “Ah!” The girls screamed, and the Lukas and Azi stood from the side. They recognized the wolf but were concealing it by acting tough. I gaze at them one by one. The camera that has been pointing at us earlier was dropped and kicked off the cliff. The wolf that appea
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 78: Sightings
Wow... So, this is what it feels like to be rejected. It feels like everything was swirling, and a lump in my throat suddenly blocked the air I breathe. It ended with Joshua entering the gate of the mental hospital first while I was left in the middle of the road, too stunned to speak. “Hey, Harriet, are you not coming with me?” Joshua called, and that put me back to reality, I mean, I already assumed the wrong thing and got embarrassed, right? Why would I make the same mistake twice? Once we stepped into the entrance door of the hospital, I saw the people in white gowns and nurses on night duty. Joshua made me sit in the lobby while he went to the nurses’ station, I wonder if he’ll be able to visit though because it’s beyond the visiting hours, and it's late at night, for heaven’s sake. I’m sure he’ll come back looking down as he tries to rub his embarrassment. But alas, I was wrong. The nurses’ station was right on my peripheral vision, so after some time, he went back to me
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 79: I'm the Problem
They say there's a great way to remember when using You and I in a sentence or You and me. I just learned that recently and surely I would forget that and be nervous and have second thoughts when I'm faced with that situation where I have to choose between You and I and You and me. Just like what I've witnessed right now. The nurse said that that lady was in this insane asylum long enough that she had already made three nurses quit their job. They said she likes to say phrases because of the trauma that brought her when she learns her daughter was gone. They said it's either she's lying or she's just having another episode of replased. But surely, these nurses gave us such wrong options because in front of us was a 7-year-old girl, lying on her back with her neck slit open, she was wearing a pink Lolita dress and was clutching a doll, I was about to reach for her but Joshua stopped me just in time. "Let's not touch it, Harriet. Let the authorities handle this." "Oh no, is that
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 80: True Luna
"It's not like we don't have a reason why we want you out, Harriet. we have, we're not that harsh..." Neneuis scrunched up her face as she finally stopped in front of me and crossed her arms. She shifted her weight from foot to foot and darted at me. "It's because Tyler has to do other things than to babysit you, Harriet."That was a big blow on my chest, it's like she's implying that I'm childish, which I never gonna deny, I tend to be childish but that's just because I'm close to a person, and I'm not that overly childish, or guess not all the time... I admit that I crossed the lines a few times, and maybe that's what Neneuis and her friends saw in me, that I'm overreacting, a dramaqueen, and clingy. "Yeah, and you could add to the reason that he already found his luna long ago, and no one could replace her," Lukas added, moving to his side, gawking at me as if his pitying me that I'm in this situation. He knew Neneuis was a big bully, and it saddened that Lukas could only just
