I just shook my head. “That kiss nearly caused me to lose my best friend,” I told her.
“I know, and I’m sorry,” she whined. “I’m not going to lie and say that I hoped you wouldn’t break up, but you’re nice. I want to stay friends.”
“I’m engaged, now,” I told her. “I don’t think my fiance will be okay with you specifically being my friend.”
“You used to be nice,” she grumbled.
I gave a dry laugh. “Yeah, and being nice nearly co

“Okay, so, we have about a week and a half before our protest,” Yelena said at our planning meeting. “What do we have, and what is left to do?”“The media has been informed of the date,” Katie announced, “and I’ve kept them informed of various developments, like Amy P. having trouble getting the permit to protest in front of the city police station.”“They were really nice until they asked why we were protesting, and I gave the clerk the answer,” Amy P. added. “I had to remind them about our civic rights, and I told them that the media would be informed about any grief.”“What’d the clerk say?” I asked, intrigued.Amy P.

“What time are they getting here, again?” Rina asked, checking her phone.I chuckled, and eyed the entrance to Streetwise, our group’s favorite restaurant. “We got here a little early. Relax,” I told her.She sighed. “Do you even know the name of my date?”“Nope,” I said absently. “Elli just calls him ‘Buffy.’”“Buffy?” she asked, and I turned to look at her. Rina’s eyebrows were up, and her gray eyes were filled with disbelief. “As in the vampire slayer?”“Yeah,” I said, confused. “I guess he’s blonde, peppy, and a black belt.

“Why do you insist on sitting next to me when you hate me, and I hate you?” I asked the asshole when he sat next to me in our Werewolf Studies class.“Someone has to make sure you don’t put your romantic mates and shit into your papers,” Matty said, and he reached over to grab my notes.I grabbed his wrist. “Touch my stuff, and I will break your hand again,” I said through gritted teeth.“Fine,” he backed off, and proceeded to slink down into his seat to fall asleep.“Today, we’re going to discuss the Saga of the Volsungs,” the professor started. “Is anybody willing to give the class a summary?”

“Holy shit,” I swore when my roommates and I saw how many people made it to the protest at the police station. “I knew a lot of people had been abused and ignored, but I had no idea there’d be this many people here!”“This is amazing!” Jimmy grinned.Nate squeezed my hand and scanned the crowd. I did too. There were hundreds of people crowding the sidewalks and the street with signs that had many different sayings on them. Some said, “Justice for Women!” Others wanted the corrupt cops to be arrested.“I don’t know if I can do this,” I said, looking for any sign of Rina. I knew she’d be the closest to the media and the entrance to the station.

The protest was by most standards a success. The media coverage had captured the attention of the state government, so they were sending auditors and other investigators to Gayl to find out how deep the corruption went. Because of this, the whole town was asked to only shift in the forests surrounding the town, or within their own apartments. It was interesting to see some of these wolves start to go a little stir crazy.Still, Kimi and I had the ultrasound to finally see our little pup and have something to send to our mothers. Kimi was already antsy and excited, which didn’t help since the pamphlets we were given told her to come in with a full bladder.“Ugh,” she whined in the waiting room. “I seriously need the restroom!”I put my arm around

“Well,” I said as I gathered up my shit after another planning session with Whitney, “it looks like we’re ready to build. I’ll figure out when I’m available for you to come over to my apartment to work.”Whitney sighed, and began to pack her things as well. She hasn’t been as bad as she was when we first started, but it was clear she hadn’t given up on winning me over. I’ve gone from friendly to barely tolerant of her during the few months I’ve known her. That says something since I had considered her a friend until the day she kissed me. “What if I’m not available during those times?”“Then we’ll split the components and build them separately,” I told her without looking at her. “We can figure out a time to put our separate co

“So, Valentine's Day is coming up,” I hinted to Elli while we snuggled on her couch at her apartment. Every day I spent with her, I fell deeper in love. We still haven’t taken our relationship past kissing, and some mild make-outs, but I could wait until she’s ready.Elli hummed. “Is it?”“Yup,” I answered. “I was curious to know if you have any expectations?”“Trying to get into my pants, Jimmy?” she grinned at me.I kissed her head. “Always, but only if you’re ready.”She shook her head. “I’m not ready, yet. We’ve been dating less than a month.&rdqu

“What are you doing tonight?” Bethany asked me when she caught me doing my hair before my date with Lachlan.“Doubling with Jimmy and his girlfriend,” I answered. “What does my idiot cousin have planned for you?”Bethany grinned, and checked her purse. “We’re having dinner at L'assiette Exquise, then going for a run to a secret waterfall he knows about.”I grabbed another strand of hair in my curling iron. “We might see you at the restaurant. I’m pretty sure that’s where Jimmy made reservations.”“He’s going all out for a double date?” Bethany asked, confused.

“Fuck,” I swore as Ray kicked my ass at Mario Kart. Ray chuckled with both hands in the air. “Suck it, pup! I finally won for the first time since you were ten!”I tossed the controller and ran my hands over my face. Game nights at the frat house and losing to my brother were the least of my worries. Rose had been officially charged with manslaughter, and bailed out until her trial in a few weeks. At the advice of her lawyer, Rose and her mom signed a temporary lease at another apartment complex. Something about not sleeping with the victim’s family.“You are off your game, bro,” one of my frat brother’s slurred. “Nobody beats Kamron the Machine.”Ray bumped my shoulder. “He’s right. You’re stressing more than usual.”“Maybe because Rose has been avoiding me,” I sighed. Garrett, a sophomore, shook his head. “You must be reading too much into it. That girl is head over heels for you. She’s probably just overwhelmed with her trial and shit.”I shook my head. “I’ve known her my whole l

“Come on back, and we’ll have you give us a urine sample, then Rina will draw some blood samples to make sure your baby is okay,” Deb’s voice filtered through the office to my station. It’d been a little busier this month, but that was to be expected a few weeks after Spring Break. Lots of little surprises.“R-rina?” a familiar voice stammered. “Rina works here?” Elli and Deb rounded the corner to my space, and I had the sample cup ready with the alcohol wipes.“I sure do, Ellie,” I replied. “Congratulations. The bathroom is right through that door, and I’ll be here ready to draw your samples when you’re done.” I pointed to the door of the restroom where our expecting mothers give their samples every time they come in.Deb looked between us. “You two know each other?” I shrugged. “Small school, and we spent Spring Break together in Mexico.”Elli was pale and shaking a little as she grabbed the cup she was supposed to pee into, then made a b-line for the bathroom. Deb leaned over to m

“Now, Kimi,” Dr. Mayfeld started on our bi-monthly telesessino, “have you and Nate talked about finding a couples therapist to help the two of you transition into parenthood?”I shook my head. “Not yet. We will, but between school and my cousin’s demise, we haven’t exactly made it a priority.”“I understand,” she nodded. “I hate to say it, but you and your friends have gone through one hell of a year. Are you sure you aren’t cursed?”I laughed. “If I believed in curses, I might think that too. I mean, it is possible that Kirsten cursed us when she went to prison.”“Seriously,” she calmed down, but still smiled, &ldq

My parents knocked on our apartment door a few hours after we’d come home from the station. I really appreciated Kimi telling off Kam for me. It was the weirdest feeling. I was almost out of my body for most of the afternoon. It was a little surreal. I also both wanted to be hugged and cuddled, but I also wanted to be left alone.I kept thinking that it was my fault a person was dead. Yes, Matty was a horrible person who attacked me, but I didn’t want him dead! Call me optimistic, but I hoped for him to pay for his crimes, then come out a better person who had learned to respect others.I’d spent most of my time in my room, and barely registered when my mom walked in and sat on my bed. “Oh, my sweet Rose,” she sighed and pushed my curls out of my face. “I am so sorry you have to go thro

“Shit hit the fan, and I’m at my sister’s for a few days,” I explained to Elli over the phone.“I can’t believe all that has happened,” Elli replied. “Is Rose okay?”I sunk into my sister’s couch and sighed. “I honestly don’t know. They hadn’t returned by the time I cleared out. I hope her parents don’t find my room disgusting.”“Why wouldn’t they just get a hotel?” Elli asked.The question confused me. “I’m sure they could, but their daughter just killed a guy in self defense. She kinda needs all her family around her now.” Then a thought occurred to me. “Were you thinking about

“I want to see my fiance. I need to know she’s okay,” I shouted at the officer at the front desk of the police station.Kimi put a hand on my shoulder. “Kam, calm down. They have to go through the hoops. Besides, Officer West sounded like someone who is fair.”I spun to face my sister. “My fiance and your best friend is back there by herself, probably scared to death, and the only people available to her are people in our uncle’s pocket. I’m not going to calm down until I know she’s safe!”“Kam, you making a scene isn’t going to get her out here faster,” Nate tried to reason. He turned to the officer. “Is there someone who can come out and tell us what happened?”

Blake finally managed to push the door to the men’s room open. He broke the lock in the process, but the screaming he heard terrified him. He regretted not being faster when he observed the scene.A man was lying under a broken urinal with eye wide open, and unfocused. His jaw was slack, and a shocking amount of blood was pooled under his head. He looked back out into the hall, and grabbed a random student. “Call 911, and get someone here, now!”The student glanced into the bathroom. “Holy shit!”Blake carefully walked around the body to the woman shuddering in a ball against the wall of the open stall. “Hey,” he said gently. “Are you okay?” He reached a hand to her shoulder, and she flinched.

“Welcome back, everyone,” Professor Anderson greeted the class when she walked into the room. “I hope everyone had a fun, safe spring break? I see we’re still missing a few people. Hopefully they return before the next class. In the meantime, please go to the class webpage.”I already had it up, so I just scanned the page looking for what I expected her to click. I found it under the assessments tab. “I would hope you all are intelligent enough to find what I’d like you to do today, but in case you’re hung over, or not up to your best mental state, find the assessments tab, and click on the test titled, ‘Post Spring Break Quiz.’“The password is capital ‘I’ underscore, paid, underscore, too, with two ‘o’s, underscore, much, underscor

The apartment in Gayl was becoming more and more like home to me. Walking through the apartment door Sunday before school started felt like a weight was lifting off my shoulders. Granted, Kimi and I still needed to finish the nursery for our little girl, and we still had school, but we were happiest here. At least I was, anyway.I guess Kimi wasn’t as happy. She waddled into our room, and fell onto the bed on her back. “Ugh,” she grunted, “would you be offended if I said I miss the bed in Boston?”I chuckled. “Not at all. It was a damn comfortable bed..”“Much bigger than this full size one,” she said and rolled over so she could sit up. “I swear if this little girl gets much bigger, we’ll need a bigger bed.&r
