Julianna POVI breathed a sigh of relief as classes for the day ended peacefully and quietly. Scott hadn't bothered me, and I wondered if throwing that chocolate cake at him yesterday had made an impact. Maybe it was the universe's way of intervening.As I walked down the hallway I heard a faint whisper "Psst Hanna!" I turned to see the Thanes twin boys, Cameron and Caleb staring at me "Hey, Hanna" Cameron called out.I wrinkled my forehead confuse" My name is Julianna not Hanna"Caleb chuckled "Oh, bro, you got the name wrong again"Cameron's face turned red "Sorry Julianna, it's hard to keep track but I should remember your name now.I smiled amused by there banter "It's okay, everyone makes mistakes" and I walked away.The two twins blocked my path with there eyes sparkling with mischief."What's up, guys" I asked raising my eyebrows.Caleb's expression turned serious " We were wondering why you have been ignoring us all day"I frowned takes aback. "I have not been ignoring you I
Julianna POVI stood frozen, devastated by the sight of chocolate syrup dripped from his face down to his neck. The sweet aroma filled the a stark contrast from the tension building inside me."What the hell?!" Someone shrieked shattering the silence.Lila rushed down from her seat, Lily followed closely. Caleb and Cameron arrived at the scene, their eyes fixed on us with a mixture of concern and accusation."What happened to you, brother?" Lila asked, concern fill her face.Caleb glared at me. "I told you not to come here, this is exactly what we warned you about"I swallowed hardly filling guilty and responsible for Kaid's predicament. Kaid's voice broke the tension. "Are you okay?" He looked at me with his green piercing eyes.I nodded still in shock.Lila angry shout echoed through out the whole dining hall. "Scott!"Scott appeared almost immediately, his gaze locked onto Lila. A smirk played on his lips "Oh? Someone else was hit. Bad shot." Scott said nonchalantly turning his b
Julianna POVWhat's going on? I muttered, bewildered. The entire dining hall was frozen in time. Flying plates hovered in mid air, Paranormal High students were still as statues and Scott was suspended mere inches away from the sharp objects.I glanced at the clock, it's hands stopped at 3:47. That's odd. It was as if time itself had paused.Curiosity drove me outside were the scene was similar. Leaves were suspended in mid air, birds were motionless and students were trapped in time.I returned to the dining hall and swallowed hard. "Guys?" I called out but silence replied.Lila, Lily and even Lyra were frozen, their expression locked in place..My gaze returned to Scott and a mischievous grin spread across my face.I approach him pressing against his side but he didn't budge. It was as if he was a statue.Giggling, I pinched his nose until it turned red and the slapped him on the cheek. "That what you deserve." Filled with a sense of satisfaction.As I slapped his arm, a sudden cre
Julianna POVl opened my eyes to find Scott's face inches from mine."What is it now?" I muttered.It's good that you're awake," Scott said, his voice laced with sarcasm. "I thought you'd be lying in bed for the rest of your life."He settled into the chair beside my bed, his eyes fixed on me.I sat up, taking in my surroundings."Where am I?" I asked."Paranormal High's clinic," Scott replied."Why are you here?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.Scott's smile was mischievous. "To watching you."My eyes widened."Oh, you think I like you? Don't be silly," Scott continued. "I'm watching you because I might get a concession. I won't leave you with my stupid brothers and sisters. They're incompetent."I bristled at his words."What happened?" I asked.Scott's expression turned mocking. "You lost consciousness because you're stupid too."My hands clenched into fists." I can leave now?"I asked "Probably not, the doctor said until you stupidity subsides and you look pretty stup
Julianna POVAfter the crazy conversation with Scott on the rooftop, I headed to my room, grateful for the unexpected break from classes.When I opened the door, I found Lyra floating in mid-air, her eyes serenely closed."Oh, you're here," she said, her voice ethereal, without opening her eyes.Does she see me or sense my presence?"I've been looking for you all over the building," I said, closing the door behind me.Lyra's eyes fluttered open, and she smiled."I came straight to our room after class was disbanded," she explained. I nodded, intrigued."So how are feeling by the way? You didn't look so good in the dining hall" Lyra asked concerned."I'm good, not to worry about." I replied."Are you meditating?" I asked."Yes, it's essential to maintain my youth," Lyra replied, her gaze sparkling."But you're still young, aren't you?" I teased.Lyra's laughter filled the room."I'm 129 years old," she revealed, her expression mischievous.My eyes widened in shock.You'd never guess h
I walked out of the Chairman's office, scratching my head in contemplation. The conversation had left me with more questions than answers. The Chairman's words echoed in my mind: "You'll be joining the Thane's team, Julianna. You're the only human at Paranormal High, and we need someone to strong enough to protect you in case anything happens."I strolled through the big court, taking in the bustling atmosphere. Groups of students clustered around signs bearing mysterious logos. I had no idea what they meant but it must represent their different clans and packs.My thoughts drifted to the Thane's team. Especially Scott. We hadn't exactly gotten off on the right foot, but maybe this was an opportunity to start anew.As I searched for were the Thanes were stationed, a shout caught my attention."You're here!"I looked up to see the Thane's perched on a floating rock, their VIP status evident. Caleb pointed at me, a mischievous grin spreading across his face."Look at her, oh!"I felt a
Julianna POVI stood atop the floating watching from above, as Chairman Johnson's voice boomed through the microphone."Welcome, students of Paranormal High, to the Paranormal Olympics, year 888!"The audience erupted into applause, and I joined in, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. The Thane family, including Kaid, Caleb, Cameron, and Scott stood beside me, their presence commanding attention."Today, we gather to celebrate the unity and diversity of our paranormal community," Chairman Johnson continued. "Before we begin, the board of Chairmen would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the Thane family for their unwavering support and generosity throughout the years."The audience's gaze shifted to our group, and I sensed a collective nod of respect. The Thane twins flashed charming smiles, while Kaid nodded graciously. Scott, as usual, remained stoic, his expression unreadable."Thank you, Thane family, for tirelessly reaching out to help Paranormal High thrive and reach new
As we stood before the breathtaking waterfalls, the tranquil atmosphere was a stark contrast to the danger lurking within the Maze."This won't be a easy." Scott said, his gaze flicking to me."Especially since we have to babysit Julianna," he added, a sly grin spreading across his face.I rolled my eyes. "Must you be so annoying?"Scott chuckled. "It's not like I'm lying. You're not exactly equipped for battle, are you? Planning to throw cake at our enemies?"The Thane siblings laughed, and I shot back, "Actually, cake seemed pretty effective against the so-called strongest student in school."Scott's face darkened, his eyes flashing with anger."Enough, you two," Kaid intervened, his voice calm but firm.Scott and I protested in unison, "He started it!"Lila stepped in, pulling Scott away. "Leave her alone, Scott."Kaid's hand enveloped mine, his touch warm and reassuring."Let's head to the East Side," he suggested.I looked up at him, curious. "But isn't the finish line on the Nor
