KERNIn my defence, I was about to say something, but he ended the call immediately. I was left on my own, feeling awkward. I had no idea what I was supposed to do about how I felt. I sighed.I was about to walk back into the class when I heard a cold voice behind me. "If I were you, I'd forget all the feelings I have for her. You know, she's not worth it at all. You think that she's so amazing, but I can assure you that the only thing you're going to get from pining over her is heartbreak. I have known her for a long time, and I know that she plays people well. She acts like she has no idea what she's doing, but she's very manipulative!" Someone behind me says. I turned to look at her. She had an angry look on her face."Who are you, and what are you talking about?" I asked her. I didn't even know her, so why was she saying those things to me?"You don't need to know who I am. I saw the way you were looking at Anya. I want you to know that you're heading for heartbreak. You think
KERN"What are you doing here?" I asked him. "I should be asking you that question. What are you doing here? In this college? Don't tell me that you really switched schools, so you'll be close to Anya? Do you really think she'd care about something like this?" He asked me. "And what does it have to do with you anyway? You're not Anya. And the last time I checked, I don't think you two are that close to each other" I replied. "You don't know that. I have known her since she got into this school two years ago. We are close...I can tell you for sure that she isn't interested in you. It's clear from her face!" Derrick said. I scoffed at how confident he sounded. "Is that so? Does she know that you've known her for that long? What do you think she will say when she finds out that you are saying these things to me? Do you think she will be happy about it?" I asked him. I really wanted to know where he got the courage to tell me this. "Don't tell you're going to go tell her? I thought
ANYAI glared at Kern when he said I was betrothed to his brother. I knew that he had said that because he couldn't tell them I was his brother's mate. But why did he have to bring them up? Couldn't he have used some other excuse? "Is this true, Anya? Do you have a fiance? Why didn't you tell me about it?!" Lydia asked. She looked really hurt.I felt a headache coming on. There was no way I could explain this without hurting her feelings. As friends, we were supposed to share everything with each other, and if I got "engaged" without telling my friend about it, everyone would be mad. "I.....""She has been betrothed to him since she was young. She really didn't have a choice in this" Kern answered for me. I really didn't know if he was helping me or if he was trying to get me in more trouble. Derrick rolled his eyes when he heard this. "I can't believe that there are still backward people who do things like forcing someone to get married to people they don't like. It's the twenty
ANYADerrick was shaking in anger when he heard this. I could understand why he was mad. I was mad too. "Don't you dare talk about my brother like that!" Kane said. "I was just asking a simple question. Does he not trust her enough to let her attend school herself? I just need you to tell me that you're fine Anya. You don't need to be scared of him. I will protect you if anything goes wrong. Just look at me and tell me you are fine!" Derrick said to me. He looked really serious. I frowned again. It seemed that Derrick had a strong saviour's complex. But I didn't need saving. I looked him in the eye. I wanted him to know I was serious about it. "Derrick, no one forced me to do anything. I am with Kern's brother because I want to and because I love him. I didn't stay away from school for so long just to get engaged. I did it because there was something in my family that I needed to take care of. Don't attack Kern anymore. I am really happy with my life and I don't need saving!" I s
ANYAKern left angrily. There was no way I could stay. I got up, too, and Lydia followed me. "You see, Derrick! That's the kind of person you like! Why can't you see that she has both of you on a string, and she's pulling you both along? Do you think that she's a weak woman who needs you to save her? She doesn't need it at all and you're just playing yourself!" I heard Angela say to Derrick.I didn't want to listen to Whatever garbage she had to say and I just left with Lydia. I had already made it clear to him that I was in love with someone else and I didn't want him to think that anything else was ever going to happen between us. ...."I can't believe that woman Angela! She's just a jinx! I am sure she doesn't feel like she's an accomplished person if she doesn't cause trouble for one day!" Lydia growled. "How have you both been putting up with her for so long? I can't stand her face at all!" Kern said. The three of us were walking down the school garden. "Anya is the one who
ANYAI had nothing to say to this. I didn't want to say too much about the world we were from. For humans, werewolves were just a legend to them. It was just something they saw in books and movies, and they did not believe that it existed. I didn't want to scare Lydia, so I tried my best to say as little as possible about it. "Anya....Let's go clubbing tonight! To celebrate getting Angela off your back for good!" Lydia said. I laughed when she said this. I knew that she was looking for ways to party. "Angela still hates me, you see. And now she thinks that I am after the man that she's in love with. I think that she might try something soon. What exactly do you want to celebrate?" I asked her. "Oh, come on, Anya! You are now a queen-to-be. No matter who her father is, I am sure that he can't compare to you! You need to stop being so humble! If she bothers you again, I am sure that you can ask the school to expel her, right?" Lydia asked me with twinkling eyes.I laughed and shoo
ANYA"Lydia.... that's enough!" I said to her."No, I am just saying what's on my mind! You know, I really envy you! I wish I were you, then I'd be Kern's type at least right?" She asked me.I frowned when I heard this. I knew that Lydia was probably using the excuse of being drunk to say what was on her mind. But she had only known Kern for a few days. How could she fall for him? I looked at Kern's face, and I didn't doubt how Lysis could fall for him. He was so good-looking. It's no wonder that he attracts women everywhere.I got up and tried to hold Lydia's arm, but she moved it away. "Lydia, that's enough. We are going home now. You are drunk," I said to her. "I am not drunk! Could you leave me alone? I want to dance!" She said. Lydia stumbled up and started to walk towards the dance floor.I tried to go after her, but Kern stopped me. "I think you should let her go. She should dance away her drunkness!" Kern said. I looked at Lydia worriedly. "But she's so drunk...what if s
ANYA"That was not what I wanted to do...I just thought....""You just thought that you could pass me on to your friend since you don't want to deal with me. You can tell me straight. I don't think I have done anything to win you since I arrived. I was being friends with you. Were you lying when you said you wanted to keep our friendship?" Kern asked me.He looked hurt, and I felt terrible. I didn't mean to hurt his feelings at all. I just wanted to help him and Lydia out."I don't...I was not thinking about that at all. And I don't think you are bothering me. I should not have said anything. I want you to be happy" I said. Kern shook his head. "Did I make you feel like I was unhappy? I am not unhappy. I am happy the way I am. I am attending school with my friend, and even though Lydia talks too much, she is cool, and I don't mind having her as a friend. You don't need to set me up with her just because you think we are going to make a good couple or because you want to get rid of me
