The Blackening Of Olive Lane Chapter 10
After Rosabella had taken Olive home, Chelsea went looking for Ashton. Since he lost his phone, it was hard to contact him and no one knew where he was. She searched for over three hours before finally finding him at the little enclave they had discovered when they were eleven.Ashton had decorated the place with flowers and candles, he looked despondent and helpless. On hearing footsteps, he looked up a smile forming on his face. The smile, however, had yet to mature when it fell. He looked behind Chelsea, waiting for Olive to walk in and when she didn't after a few seconds, he got up. "What happened? Where's Olive? Why did she bail?" He shot question after question while he moved swiftly towards her. It was when they were inches apart that Ashton finally noticed that Chelsea looked pale, very pale.He grabbed her shoulders, "Chels what's wrong? What happened?" And with that Chelsea finally broke down in tears, all the sorrow she had been holding back flowed through her tears. It wa

Ross Residence,Jessie was a nervous wreck. Her mom had completed her admission yesterday so she had to start school today. Yesterday she had felt calm and ready but today was another case. She had woken up and gotten ready by 5 am. This led to her having an extra two hours to lose the confidence she had gathered over the weekend. She had been pacing nonstop for the past thirty minutes and Eva was getting sick of it."Would you stop pacing, I haven't had my coffee yet so your constant movements are annoying" she snapped making Jessie flinch at the sound of her mother. She was so lost in thought that she hadn't even noticed her sitting there. Calming her racing heart, she looked at her mother's face which looked very tense. Her eyebrows were furrowed and she kept rubbing her forehead. All of Jessie's apprehension disappeared. Her mom only snapped at people when she felt really awful. She moved closer taking a seat."Are you okay?" She asked, her voice must have sounded off because her

"Chelsea White?""Here!""Mikael Bent on?""Here!""Carol Denver?""Here!""Ashton DeMartell?"No response."Ashton DeMartell?""Umm, Miss, Ashton isn't in school" this was from a random student that Olive didn't remember the name of."Okay then. Olive Lane?"Olive raised her hand and was about to answer when someone rushed through the door."Sorry I'm late. I got lost." The voice belonged to a haggard-looking girl with brown hair and hazel eyes. She was out of breath and sweating profusely.The teacher was mildly annoyed at having been disrupted, frowning she gestured to the stranger to come closer to her.On getting closer, the teacher told her to introduce herself."Hello everyone, my name is Jessie Ross. I just moved to Ravenswood. I'm 16 years old and I hate mushrooms. " The room was silent as she introduced herself and while there were some rude snickers in the background, the rest of the class felt warm and welcome."Miss Ross, welcome to Ravenswood. You can call me Miss Glenda

Desiree's Lounge,Jessie was having the time of her life. Never had she been accepted so fluidly into a pre-existing group. However, she noticed that the longer they stayed, the more Olive seemed to glance at the door."Are you waiting for someone?" She decided to bite the bullet and ask. Her response was a flush from Olive and a snort from Jackson."She waiting for her boyfriend and my co, Ashton. He didn't come to school today so they decided to meet up here." Chelsea was kind enough to explain."Ohhhh. Okay." She might have spoken in a calm tone but inside she was bursting with joy. Was this what Kpop fans who had avenues to meet their bias felt like? If Olive looked this good, wouldn't her boyfriend be an Adonis? While she got lost in her fantasies, Jackson studied the girl beside him. Jessie Ross. Even her name sounded cute. When he had bumped into her during his detention, he had decided to give her a tour purely on impulse. He was stumped after she left and he realized that th

In Jackson's car,Jessie had thought that with them alone she would finally be able to summon the courage to speak to Jackson but she was wrong. It had been over 20 minutes and they were yet to even look at each other.She knew if she didn't speak to him, her mind would torment her later. So, she summoned her courage and turned to look at Jackson...Only to find him staring at her intensely.Her courage failed her and she looked away, grateful for the cover of fast-coming night to hide her red cheeks even though it was useless as Jackson's werewolf heritage gave him the ability to see clearly at night.On seeing he had been caught, Jackson turned his face to look at the road, a light pink dusting his cheeks. It was the first time in his life that both he and his wolf had been so intrigued by someone. The car was silent for a moment before two voices rang out simultaneously."So...""I..."They looked at each other and both let out little giggles that eventually morphed into full-blow

Going into the house, Olive was met with silence. Her mom's car was in the driveway so she was obviously at home but for some reason, the silence made her extremely uncomfortable.Moving further into the house, she saw her mom passed out on the couch, documents all around her. Immediately she sighted her, the unease she had felt all day dispersed.She moved towards the kitchen trying her best to minimize her noise so her mom wouldn't wake up. It was, however, all for nothing as her mom stirred from her slumber."Olive..." Rosabella called, her voice thick with sleep making her pause and turn back. "Hi" Olive whispered as she move closer to her mother. "Sorry if I woke you.""It's okay, how was school today?" Rosabella asked as she stretched her back and her waist let out a loud crack making Olive choke on a giggle."It was okay, Ashton didn't come to school today and refused to tell me why, but he made up for it by meeting up with us at Desiree's." Olive shrugged."Oh, and there was

"It couldn't have been a dream, could it?" Olive asked already beginning to doubt herself. Grabbing her forehead, she rested her back on the wall and slowly slid down to sit on the floor.Rosabella spoke almost immediately," It has to be because I didn't hear a thing and the wards didn't pick up on any foreign magic."And just like that Olive was convinced that her encounter had been a figment of her imagination. She was sent back to bed and even though something at the back of her mind kept whispering that it wasn't a dream, she ignored it and settled down to sleep once again hopefully, without any bad dreams.Later in the day,By the time she got the school, Olive had already left the last vestiges of her dream at the back of her mind. Ashton had asked her out on a date and she was excited about it since their last date had been cancelled due to her panic attack.Once school ended, Chelsea bullied Jessie into joining her at Desiree's so Ashton and Olive could have time to themselve

And just like that the week came to an end. Jessie had somehow managed to carve out a space for herself in their little gang earning her envious eyes everywhere she turned.She could now proudly call Olive and Chelsea her friends without feeling awkward. They had made her feel so welcome it was like they had grown up together.They had scheduled a group outing at the arcade wanting the group to be complete and have a fun time celebrating the upcoming weekend.They had played all sorts of games before finally agreeing to play a game of laser tag. Huddling down together in the dimly lit lobby of the laser tag arena, Olive, Jackson, Jessie, Ashton, and Chelsea kept grinning at each other. Their adrenaline was pumping as they prepared to enter the neon-colored battlefield."I call the blue team!" Chelsea declared, snatching a matching blue laser tag vest from the pile."No way, I'm captain of the blue team," Jackson countered, trying to grab the vest out of Chelsea's hands.The two sibli

"Ow!" Olive let out a yelp almost crushing Chelsea's fingers from where she was holding it. The smell of her pain punched Chelsea in the gut. It was sour. More sour than the grapes she had last week as part of her dare. Chelsea could only squeeze back, hoping the gesture was enough to comfort her friend. After a while, her scent shifted from sour to stale telling Chelsea that she was no longer in a lot of pain but was still uncomfortable. "Hey Olly?" She tentatively called out. "Yeah Chelsea?" Was the response. "Do you think you'll be okay if I go grab us something from the cafeteria?" "Yeah. Sure." And with a smile Chelsea was sent off leaving Olive alone with nurse Winn. Ten minutes later, Chelsea still wasn't back from the cafeteria and Olive was progressively getting sleepier which was odd as she could never fall asleep in any sort of medical space because of her psy experience. Trying to fight the sands of Morpheus and failing woefully, Olive

During the lunch break, Olive decided to invite Skye to join them at their table. To her, Skye looked shy, if not a bit wary of them, and she wanted to change that.As they moved down the line, it was finally her turn, and as she grabbed her tray and began to move towards their table, the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to her since kindergarten happened.She tripped.She tripped and landed face-first on the floor, with her body squashing the food tray.The hall was quiet, as though its residents were trying to process the sight in front of them. At once, like a flipped switch, loud laughter flooded the room.Embarrassment like never before ran through Olive as Chelsea, who was already sitting, ran to help her up. Ashton had gone to the bathroom, and Olive was thankful he wasn't there to witness it."Are you okay?" Jessie asked as she rushed to Olive's side as well. She had been distracted by a text and thus had missed the sight of Olive tripping. She was only made aware that s

Jessie woke up Monday morning and for some reason, she felt off and her magic wasn't afraid to show it. It started with how she almost tripped because of a pillow that appeared out of nowhere on her way to the bathroom, then her magic setting the water too high and almost burning her skin off, then nicking herself with a knife with her magic bending the knife in her anger and finally, checking her bag before realizing her homework was on her reading table in homeroom.Banging her head on the desk, she attracted the stares of everyone and worried looks from her friends."Hey, what's wrong?" Olive asked softly in order to not be caught by the teacher. Jessie raised her head revealing her eyes that had gone red from frustration."Today has been the absolute worst. It's been one horrible moment to the other." Jessie whined. "I just have this feeling that something is going to go wrong today and it keeps making my magic go nuts."As she spoke, her desk promptly exploded into a shower of fl

Monday,At the ring of the bell signalling the end of the school day, students couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Jessie who had sat down in front of Olive looked up from her bag at Chelsea who was slumped over her desk and then at Ashton and Olive who were being all lovey-dovey. She grasped the concert tickets and summoned her courage."Hey, guys?" Her questioning tone bringing the other's attention to her. "You know the Enchantia Concert coming up this Friday... " She wasn't expecting Olive to let out a squeak. "Oh, my sweet candy fluff unicorns! I have been so distracted lately that I forgot their concert was this Friday." Her voice quickly morphed into horror. "I don't have tickets, I'm a terrible Chantia" she groaned slumping over her desk."Umm... I may have a solution to your problem." Jessie said and brought out the tickets from her bag.Olive looked up and lunged at Jessie pulling her into a dramatic hug. "You. Are. My. Saviour." she punctuated each word with a sque
