Jade and Dahlia were cleaning the toilet when Jade pulled out a ball of hair from the toilet.
"Ewwww!" Jade said in disgust as she quickly disposed of it in a trash can."Darn these public schools" Dahlia complained. She did the finishing touch and then they were done. They sat by the bathroom door and conversed."Dahly, can I tell you a secret?" Jade asked concerned."It's Dahlia, and what is it?" Dahlia asked in annoyance."It's about the mark... I think I might be a werewolf"Dahlia laughed but Jade was more serious than ever."It's true, my wound healed up quickly and I didn't even need to go to the hospital" Jade said in her defence."Jade, you're not a fucking werewolf, if you were, the whole world would know""I swear to you I am!""Cut yourself" Dahlia declared."What the fuck?" Jade asked confused."You healing quickly was a coincidence, but since you don't wanna believe me...here, cut yourself" Dahlia said giving her a compass that she had just gotten from her backpack. Jade doubtfully collected the compass and used it to cut through her hand. They both waited, watching the wound for minutes but it refused to heal up."You see, now you gotta go see a doctor" Dahlia said. She packed her stuff and left for home."Don't leave me here Dahly!" Jade demanded but Dahlia was too far gone. Dahlia was home. She met Jake and told him about Jade's suspicions."No one can ever find out what you are, you've gone through enough, who knows the havoc that will be unleashed if your identity is ever figured out" Dahlia said and Jake agreed to it."Out of context though, I've always wondered, how are you a witch when your grandfather's a normal human being?" Jake asked out of curiosity. Dahlia gave out a chuckle and began her story."I barely know who my real parents are. I was adopted by Mr Kean's son when I was four. They took me in like I was their own. They didn't know the power that was buried deep in me. Neither did I. One day, something terrible happened, I can't remember what exactly but it got me mad. I was furious and that was when the power in me unleashed. I burnt down the house, Mr Kean lost his hearing, his son and his in-law...I lost myself""I can relate... Remember, I was the cause of my parents' death" Jake said."No, no, no, you don't understand Jake...I set the house on fire, I single-handedly set up my parents on fire, I made my grandfather lose his hearing, I was a monster Jake, the worst part, no one knew I was the cause of that fire... Mr Kean still took me in, like I had done nothing wrong" Dahlia confessed crying her heart out. Jake felt for her and went over to hug her."It wasn't my intention to hurt you Dahlia" Jake said with remorse."You were just curious Jake, it's ok...and that's why I don't use my powers regularly, I'm scared...I'm scared cause if I could set a whole building on fire when I was five...what would I do now that I'm eighteen?" *********************It was the next day. Sky and Dahlia were texting each other as classes went on. Dahlia told Sky that Jake never had a girlfriend. But sky told her that Jake affirmed to having one the day they were on toilet duty. Dahlia told Sky that it was a misunderstanding, that Celeste was just Jake's best friend. Sky is relieved but didn't rejoice because she knew that Jake might only see them as friends. The teacher noticed sky and Jade using their phones in class and she seized them."I didn't expect this from you Sky" the teacher said with disgust.Sky was an excellent student just that she didn't look and act like one. She actually loved reading and doing nerdy stuff. She was a straight A student but sometimes what spoiled her overall academic performance was her lateness to classes which usually landed her in detention.School was over and it was time for Sky and Jake to attend to their toilet duty. When they were done, he asked her if he could be her escort home again and this time she agreed."So, Jake...do you have any last name?" Sky asked as they walked down the streets."No, just Jake" Jake said with a smirk."Ok...you are kind of strange in a way" Sky insisted."How?" Jake asked with a chuckle."Maybe it's the fact that Dahlia never ever mentioned anything about you to me, or how you don't have a phone or the fact that you're this hot yet you've never dated anyone" Sky said laughing."First, friends conserve some things from each other, especially things that are unnecessary like me. Second, I think it's high time I get a phone and third, Sky Pearce thinks I'm hot" Jake replied."Well first, you're not unnecessary. Second, you definitely should and third, fuck off !" Sky cussed as they both laughed."I do know a store you could get one right now...if you want to" Sky declared."I don't have money on me" Jake said disappointed."I've got my mum's credit card " Sky said waving it in the air. Jake had no idea what it was but smiled because he saw Sky smiling. They had a change in direction and headed to the tech store. As they walked, Jake stumbled upon a vet clinic called Edith's vet clinic. He recognized the name; it was his mother's. He stopped for a moment to stare at the clinic."What, you've never seen a vet clinic before?" Sky asked with a chuckle."This one belonged to my mum" Jake said in a sad tone."Oh... I didn't know" Sky said with remorse."Do you mind if we make a quick detour?" Jake asked."Not at all" Sky assured.Jake and Sky went into the clinic. He saw a vet there and asked if he knew a woman by the name of Edith. He told him that he did but it had been eighteen years since they'd heard from her. That she had just suddenly disappeared. The vet asked Jake who he was to Edith and Jake replied saying he was her nephew. Jake then asked him if he had her home address and the vet told him that he did, so Jake asked him to give him the address and he did as well.When they got out of the clinic, Sky asked Jake why he lied to the vet about him being the nephew of his mother and he explained saying he didn't just want to complicate things. They walked down to Edith's home. When they had gotten there, Jake stared at the door afraid to enter. Sky noticed it and immediately held him by his hands."You can do this" she assured Jake who gained a little more confidence from her words. Holding hands, they ventured into Edith's home.It had been quite some time and Jake hadn't returned home. Dahlia was worried so she called Sky asking if Jake was still with her and she affirmed it. She asked for their location and Sky directed her to them.Jake and Sky scavenged through his late mother's stuff, looking for anything that could be useful to him. As jake searched, he stumbled upon her journal. He skimmed through the pages when his eyes fell on a line where she described Alaric; his father, as a perfect start. He smiled and continued reading the things she had to say about his dad when Sky called his attention."She was beautiful" Sky confessed as looked at a printed picture of Edith. Jake went over to Sky and gently collected the picture to see for himself. He set his eyes on her and immediately, tears began rolling down his cheeks. Sky hugged him, comforting him."You should take the picture" she advised. Jake folded the picture and put it in his pocket. They continued scavenging."This place doesn't look dusty at a
Paak's utterances left a mark on Jake's memory. He never forgot about what he was told. He decided to give love a try and there was no one better to try it with other than..."Sky!" Jake called out to get her attention among students who were just coming out of classes."Oh, hey...what's up?" Sky asked quite shocked."I was wondering if I could stay at your place while Jade and Dahlia are on toilet duty...there's this problem I have with math and I...""Okay, this is a bit weird...Jake wants to stay over, are you sure?""Are you okay with it?""Of course, I'm just shocked that's all""Okay...cool""Great""Awesome" Jake replied then there was a brief moment of silence."I'm gonna go now" Sky said already getting uncomfortable with the whole situation. The moment she left, Jade came along. She held Jake by his arms and walked down the halls with him."You and I would make a perfect couple Jake. Just imagine it! Our couple's name would be... Jade! Oh my God, that's literally so perfect.
Sky had been avoiding Jake ever since their awkward make-out in her bedroom. Their eyes had met each other countless times but Sky would deliberately ignore Jake."Just go talk to him" Dahlia begged Sky but she refused to."Sky, you two really need to talk""I don't even know what to say to him" Sky confessed confused."You guys are on toilet duty, you'll have plenty of time to pour your heart out""About that... I'm calling in sick, cause I think I've got a fever" Sky lied."You're not escaping this Sky... I just want you to know that Jake will never hurt you intentionally. Besides, you like him, and I know you still do""I'm scared... I don't know if I can do this" Sky admitted."You can... I know you can. Few minutes until school is over... Good luck" Dahlia wished Sky as she hugged her.School was over and it was time for Sky to face who she had been avoiding all day long. Her heart raced when she began cleaning the toilet with Jake, but she didn't let Jake perceive her fear. They
Sky and Jake began visiting each other frequently. Sometimes to study whenever Jade and Dahlia were on toilet duty and most times for the fun of it. Though they didn't make their newly founded bond public, they still expressed an immense love for each other.While Jade and Dahlia were on toilet duty, Jake was at Sky's working on a chemistry assignment. Jake kept on starting at Sky sexually but Sky was focused on the assignment. She noticed the looks Jake gave her."Jake, come on be serious. I don't want my grades to go down any less than it already has. My mum is gonna tell my uncles and they are gonna kill me" Sky stressed."Oh my God...my girlfriend is a nerd" Jake groaned. Sky was left astonished by his statement."Did you just call me your girlfriend?" Sky asked smiling."You don't wanna be my..." Jake said but was cut short when Sky kissed him."I wanna be your girlfriend" Sky said and they continued. Their little romance session was cut short when her mum entered the room withou
The principal had gathered all four students who he had punished in his office. He told them to repeat after him;"I, Dahlia Kean, promise to never be a delinquent of Gilmore high""I, Sky Pearce, promise to never be a delinquent of Gilmore high""I, Jade Dunlop, promise to never be a delinquent of Gilmore high""I, Jake, promise to never be a delinquent of Gilmore high""You all go against my will and I'll make you just might never ever graduate...am I understood?" The principal demanded. The three girls nodded their heads in affirmation but Jake stood there silent as his mind went through memory lane.FLASHBACK "So my boy, you are of the mating age. When will you pick one of these fine female wolves to be your Luna?" Nathaniel asked Jake as they wandered around the woods."No one here is fit to be my potential mate" Jake proclaimed."So you let the moon goddess choose for you, is that so?" Nathaniel asked."I will go against her will if she chooses one that does not suit""She cre
After school, Jade decided to follow Dahlia and Jake home. As Dahlia drove, Jade did the same trailing behind them without any of them noticing her. They got home and parked right in front of their house. Jade parked close to their house and watched them silently.Jake got out of the car angrily and he slammed the car door hard."Hey, you have no right to treat my car like that!" Dahlia shouted as she slammed her car door shut and angrily chased after Jake. Jake saw Dahlia's grandad drinking coffee and greeted him using sign language and he smiled then Dahlia came in and greeted him likewise. He noticed something was wrong with both of them and followed them as they quarrelled. They headed for their room to settle their dispute."Jake, I'm talking to you!" Dahlia demanded bringing Jake to a halt."What else do you want from me Dahlia?!" Jake asked annoyed."You don't think! That's my problem with you, you do not think! If Jade manages to gain any lead on you we are done for!" "It was
The room was quiet. One could only hear the sniffles of Dahlia as she wiped away her tears from the drama of late. Lying on the bed in their normal positions, Jake decided to switch it, turning around so his head could face Dahlia's."I'm sorry I called you an idiot earlier" Dahlia apologized in a shaky tone."I'm sorry for all those things I said as well. If it wasn't for me, your grandfather wouldn't have found out about the fire" Jake admitted."No, he's right. I shouldn't have kept my secret from him. I deserve everything that happened today...your insults, his words, everything" Dahlia admitted."But how did you know about Landon?" Dahlia asked."Sky told me that he broke up with you...who's the douchebag anyway?" Jake asked."Landon is the school's football captain. We used to be high school sweethearts when we were in grade 11 until I saw him in the bathroom on two girls...one was Holly, and the other was Jade" Dahlia confessed."Gotta hurt doesn't it?""It did, but old wounds
"It's already so late, I thought you weren't gonna come" Sky said to Jake as she pouted and turned her back against him.He walked up to her."I knew I'd be late so I got you something pretty to make up for it" Jake said as he slowly put his hands around his waist."What's that?" Sky said still pouting. He ignored her question. Then began to run his hands up her body, on the sides of her arms till the back of her neck. Her heart beat steadily, she could feel his breath behind her. It was what she wanted but the atmosphere was too tense for her. But Jake didn't mind. He pulled out the necklace and showed it to her."It's beautiful" Sky said smiling."I got it for a million dollars" Jake jeered.They both laughed. She started to feel a little bit more comfortable. "Face the mirror" Jake said, then he put the necklace around her neck and kissed the back of her neck lightly. It gave her goosebumps, the feeling went through her whole body. At this point she just wanted to give up hersel
