OCEAN. I woke up before Eris did. We slept on the couch. I had forgotten to turn off the TV. I stretched and grabbed my phone from the table. It was already past six in the morning. I had tons of messages from Flynn and Ronny. We were supposed to have a party last night, but I didn’t want to be there. I told them I wasn’t going home and wanted to go home. They probably thought it was a joke until I had left them and didn’t show up at the party. This was better than being with anyone. I didn’t want to be touched by anyone else if it wasn’t Eris. I just want her. I had to sneak off of the couch without waking her. I covered her with the blanket, and took the stairs to my room. I came out after a few minutes. I wanted to make breakfast, but Eris needed to be at school. She did need her attendance, which is quite compulsory because of the upcoming competition.I decided on an easy breakfast. Vale had a recipe pasted on the wall for some of the meals she cooked. I searched through i
ERIS.When I got home, Ocean was waiting in my bedroom. I hadn’t expected to see him there. I had brought his jacket home with me. I didn’t put it on while I was having my last class of the day. I kept them in my locker, and when Davis notified me that he was in school waiting for me, I had to take the jacket, and leave school. I didn’t see Kasper, there was no sight of him, anywhere. I decided to let him be, and I would’ve to talk to Mom about it at dinner. I would probably tell them both that we ain’t together anymore. He stretched out his arms to me, and I fell on them, my head resting against his chest. He kissed the top of my head and rubbed his hand around my back. “I’m exhausted,” I grumbled. “I know.” I lifted my head and stared at him. “I didn’t see Mom when I got back.” “They both left for vacation. Three days.” “She didn’t tell me that.” I frowned. I thought we promised to tell each other everything. Well, I couldn’t get too angry with that. I wasn’t entirely being
ERIS.I stared at Ocean, and my gaze went to Kasper. He stood there, his gaze fixed on me. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. “Is that so, Eris?” He asked again. I touched Ocean’s arm. “I need to go.” He nodded and retraced his steps back from me. I went to Kasper, grabbed his arm, and started to pull him away from the rooftop. I wanted to have some space where we could talk, and nobody would probably hear a word we say. “What was that I heard?” He asked where we could go to a place where we could talk. His back was against the wall, and he was waiting for me to say a word. “Ain’t you going to say a word?” He exhaled. “I went to the classroom, and I couldn’t find you, and Rosie told me you went out with this Emma girl. Then, I met Emma, and she told me she left you on the rooftop, and I decided to come see you, and then guess what I heard, it was because you wanted to use me…” He sighed and swallowed. “You wanted to use me for what?” “I thought…” He fell silent again and ave
ERIS.. “This is the coolest thing Ocean has ever done!” Rosie screeched when she entered the classroom. I closed my notebook and raised my brow at her. She saw me and hastened her pace. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one interested in knowing what Ocean did. “Is Ocean in school?” “Yes,” Rosie said with a smile. The girl who asked hurried out of the classroom, and I just blinked my eyes at them.She scurried over to my desk. I took out my water bottle and drank from it. “Ocean just told everyone that he had a mate.” I coughed it out, spitting some on Rosie’s face. She grimaced. “Sorry,” I muttered. “Here.” I offered her a wipe. She took them and wiped her face with them. “Well, I was saying, Ocean told everyone that he had a mate, and that the mate wasn’t Flora. He told her loud and clear, gracious goodness, you need to see the look on her face. She was too stunned to speak and embarrassed. That was one of the coolest things he did. Do you know the other coolest thing he did?”
OCEAN. I landed on my butt and groaned. Her window was a bit high, and I hadn’t expected that. I had to change my clothes, and wear something else. I had to go through the back door, and take the stairs to my room. I got in, took a quick shower, and changed my clothes. I went down to the dining area before her and Kasper. “Help, Vale, to set up the table.” I nodded, went to her in the kitchen, and started to set the table with different meals. “You smell different,” Vale said when I was taking the last dish. I had to smell the shirt that I wore. My first thought went to Eris if I had smelled of her. “And, I’m sorry I hit you the last time.” “I think I deserved that.” “I will try and be a mom to you.” “You don’t have to try, Vale. Eris needs you and that’s fine and my dad too.” “What about you?” “I’m happy as long as they are happy.” She pursed her lips and held the glasses. “I noticed you’ve become closer to Eris.” “I guess I should be right, or is there a reason why I
ERIS. “You didn’t have to do this…” I said with a smile. I hadn’t expected a surprise when I got home, but I got one. I didn’t know how I was going to react to it, so I stood there with mixed emotions. Ocean was standing there too, Alpha West, and Kasper. “It's great news, Eris.” Alpha West said, and came to give me a hug. He patted my back. “We got a call from the school that you had won the test, and we wanted to give you a surprise.” Mom added, and when he disengaged from the hug, Mom came to hug me as well. She kissed both of my cheeks. “Congratulations, Iris Potato.” I groaned at Ocean, he smirked, and tucked his hand in his pocket, before moving away to the dining area. “Congratulations, Eris, I know you were going to make it through.” “Thank you, Kas.” He nodded curtly and followed Ocean.“Tell me everything about it, Eris, I want to know how it happened, and…” Mom rasped. She held my arm and led me to the dining room. I started to tell her all about the event at scho
