2024-10-29 19:42:56I didn’t sleep well the night of the party. I kept having to help Kimia to the bathroom. I trust Sarina’s judgment 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?”

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. Nick 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

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

“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.
Rose and the Graycorts Chapter 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.

“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,” she said in the most pitiful voice she could muster.“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 Na

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

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,” she added.“You talked her into it?” I was confuse

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

Mom and Dad had put Mina and Mallory to work while we were gone. They’d decorated the backyard, and had a table set up with different dishes from the local Chinese restaurant, Kimia’s favorite place. They’d ordered large quantities of both white and fried rice, sweet and sour pork, both chow mein and lo mein, beef and broccoli, cashew chicken, and walnut shrimp. Then, because Kimia loves chocolate, a homemade chocolate cake. My stomach growled when I saw the spread. We invited Nate and his family to join us. The Graycorts have sort of adopted Mrs. Mactire and her sister since they moved to Aspen Falls. Mr. Graycort seems to like Nate, but is unsure about Jimmy and Saoirse. I don’t blame him. Nate’s cousins can be a little much. After we’d gotten our food, we’d all settled on blankets around the yard. The parents had the chairs. I

The scent of her arousal was amazing! Better than her ovulating! Hell, if we didn’t just get some of the worst news possible, and if our houses were empty, I would have taken her back and made love to her. Just worshiped her body. Fuck!“I love you, Kamron Amaruq Graycort.” Her whispered words shot straight to my heart. I spun her back around to face me. I searched her eyes, and found nothing but the truth there. I couldn’t resist! She loves me! I kissed her soundly, and lost myself there until Kimi’s howl brought us both back to reality.I groaned, “We should get back.” She nodded and we left for the house. We got there about the same time Dad, Ray, Rina, and Kimi got back. Kimi came up to Rose, and nuzzled her. She got down, and just hugged Kimi. I did, too. I may not have really like

Susan, Mallory, and I spent the night before the trial at the Graycorts. Somehow we had managed to talk their parents into letting all eight of us sleep in their TV room. Rayan even pointed out that there wasn’t a need for condoms if two twelve year olds were in the room. Nobody would do anything too risque. It had earned him an eye roll from his mom, and a head slap from his dad.It was around ten at night when the doorbell rang. Rayan was the one to answer it.“Can I help you, officers?” his voice filtered in from the front door.A gruff masculine voice answered. “Is this the residence of one Kimia Graycort?” I looked at Kimia, and she looked confused.“Is this about tomor

Ray came home from Gayl two days before the trial. Can I just say how nice it is to have another male in the house? Dad was alright, but nothing compared to Ray. He’s my big brother, and he can wrestle, unlike Dad.“Brotha!” I greeted him when he came through the door with Dad.“Sup, pup?” He dropped his bag and gave me a hug.“I am so glad you are back home,” I said, putting an arm around his shoulders. “You have no idea the torture I’ve been through.”“Right,” he said, rolling his eyes. “You landed Rose, and you’re talking about torture?”“Speaking of gir

I was beginning to hate our legal system. The detective shows are very misleading. The shows make it seem like everything is resolved within a week, but in reality, it takes months! Months! During that time, Kimia’s attackers are out on bail. It just isn’t fair. Well, from my point of view anyway.School was coming to a close, and I was looking forward to Susan and Rayan coming home for the summer. Sarina was looking forward to it as well, but I think she plans on biting both of them for not telling her about their relationship, and that Susan knows the Graycorts are werewolves.“Is Nate throwing a party for the end of school?” Sarina asked on the way to school the day before the last day of school.Kamron nodded from the front seat of Sarina&rs

I got a text from Kimi to meet her in the main office. I was a bit confused as to why she’d be there. It wasn’t till I opened the door to the office, and saw my sister and my girlfriend in their gym clothes that it clicked. The evil bitch is in their gym class. Fuck.“What happened?” I asked them.“Rose punched Kirsten,” Kimi whispered. I looked over at Rose, and she was angry. Angrier than I had ever seen her before. I could almost feel the hostility radiating off of her. It was kind of sexy.“Seriously?” I asked in awe.Rose glared at me. “The bitch had a video, and she was showing it to her bitchy friends.” Just like that, my hardon went soft.

“We’re back!” It was after lunch when Mr. and Mrs. Graycort brought Kimia home. They came to our house because they knew we were anxious about seeing Kimia looking alright. Mrs. Graycort gave my mom a hug. “Thank you so much for taking the kids in a pinch, Harold and Georgia.”I practically tackled Kimia when I saw her. “Can’t breathe,” she gasped.“We are always available to help, Lus,” Mom said, hugging Mrs. Graycort.Dad gripped Mr. Graycort’s shoulder. “You are family. Mi casa, es su casa.”“Coffee?” Mom asked.“Please!” Mr. and Mrs. Graycort answered.&

The ride home was quiet. I don’t think any of us knew what to say. Nate was up front with Rina while I was in the back with Rose nodding off on my shoulder. I knew I was exhausted. Seeing Kimi open her eyes and swear at everyone was a massive relief. I knew she’d be okay after that. My anger had gone down to a simmer, and I just didn’t want to think about it for a while.“She’s going to need a lot of unconditional love, and no egg shells,” Nate’s voice filtered from the front.“How do you know so much about this?” I asked him. It was weird. Just being a bartender wasn’t enough to give someone that kind of empathy.“I just know people who had similar experiences, and I saw them deal with it,” Nate went si

Everything was dark, but I could still hear sounds. There was a beeping, and my mother was there along with Rina. I just couldn’t move. They were talking to someone. Kam? Rose? No. Nate. Why is my mom talking to Nate? Where was I?Okay, I needed to think. I couldn’t move, my family and Nate were around me, and the last thing I remembered was what? Argh. My brain was not working. I could feel myself slipping away and back into where? I’d been floating. I remember the feel of vines. No, not vines. I really needed to open my eyes.“When do they think she’ll wake up?” Rose. Rose was here.“She could wake up anytime, but they said that rest and fluids would help her the best,” my mom answered. So I was asleep. Ish. Well, I was
