The One 1. Moving to Woodhidge
EVELYNIt was the first time I felt a little positive that everything was going to be alright. The first time in a very long time. It wasn't like I didn't have many things to make me crazily sad but I just felt that things would be better for me and my son, Lucas, in Woodhidge.There was no reason for my sudden optimism rather than the fact that I felt Woodhidge would just turn out good for me and my boy. Perhaps, I could say it was a hunch, though it felt more like a mere tingle in mystomach telling me everything was going to be alright. Did I have a doubt that the community would notbe supportive? Yes. Did I think all of my friends I grew up with will either be mad that I had deliberately cut them off or would be too 'judgy' or just complete snobs? Yes. Did I think Lucas would find it a little hard to mingle with other Supernaturals, as he had been trained to do otherwi
The One 2. The lady next door
LUCASSincewe drove far from the city, I thought thatWoodhidge would be an ugly town that was far away from the normal world with wolves and vampires fighting on the street like rascals. I didn't expect to see a normal town, with stores and popular fast food restaurants—just like the ordinary town you would see anywhere.Though, I have to admit, there was something weird about the town. It seemed like an ordinary town with ordinary people but something in me was conscious that the town wasn't normal at all. It wasn't only because my Mum had told me a lot about Woodhidge, I felt the town itselfwas supernatural, thereby explaining why it was the home of all Supernaturals. If that made any sense.”Now, hun, we are close to my house...I'm so excited to show it to you." Mum said, smi
The One 3. First day in Woodhidge
LUCASDo you knowthat time in the morning, mostlybetween 5am and 8am, when sleep ismost pleasurable?Those precious hours are part of my favouritetime of the day. Unfortunately for me, Mum decided to steal them from me and that wasalways a sign of a bad day. Always.“Lucas, Lucas, Lucas!” Mum yelled as she opened my room's door, thereby succeeding to wake me up.”What, Mum, this is what...5am?”“You wish, polar bear. This is seven minutes after bloodyeight, so don't stare at me like I'm waking you too early.“ Mum frowned, it was normal, she always had funny attitudes in the morning.Raising the curtains, Mum continued. “I am going out and I won't be back till the evenin
The One 4. The beginning
EVELYN I stood in front of the school Principal's office, in silence, unbelievablyterrified of walking in. As I had learnt from Aunt Joanna, Declan, my high school crush, was the Principal in the only school my son could go to. It was beyond just provoking, it was unacceptable. However, I had no choice but to accept it. As much as I told myself moving away right nowwould make things more convenient, it was high time I faced my demons. It was high time I faced my past. I remained immobile just in front of his office, I couldn't bring myself to knock. The school bursar had told me to see the Principal before Lucas could be registered. While Woodhidge wasn't your ordinary school and acceptance rate was literally a hundred percent, there were still things that had to be done before a new student would be admitted. I knew this, b
The One 5. First day in school
LUCASIt was only the eleventh day living in this weird town and I was about to start my first day in Woodhidge High. Not only was I expected to see Woodhidge as home, I would spent my last year in high school in the town too. It was left to me to me to choose whether I would be happy here or not.I didn't hate the town—and that was saying a lot, as I rarely liked anywhere. For more than one thing, the town was a beauty on its own. I hadn't noticed how pretty the town was on the first day we arrived. The town was gave me some old-school vibe and on its own wasn't weird as it seemed like any other town—from the outside of course. Like every suburban location, the houses seemed so out of pattern unlike the notorioustightness of the city, yet it all looked like a happy embrace of homes. The town, however, struck me as one that I would have
The One 6. The bully
LUCAS Considering that Woodhidge-High was my sixth school, I was kinda not very good in mixing up. The hardest thing about starting a new school wasn't ever anything relating to the main reason of schooling—which I guess is learning. No matter how hard studying can be, the hardest past, without a doubt, was socialising and fixing yourself as ‘part' of the school. It was a concept one couldn't explain to anyone who didn't go to school, or at least the modern day school. This, however, was my opinion. One of the perks of being a new student was having the time to observe everyone around, if you wanted to, and this observation was more impartial because you know nobody. And since I was going to a supernatural school that had multiple magical beings in it, no one needed to tell me it was in my best interest to to do a little observing before jumping in with the wrong people. From what I noticed, my mother was wrong when she said about half of the population of the town were werewolves.
The One 7. He asked me out
DAMON I liked Evelyn. I really liked her. She was decently tall, had very smooth milky skin and wonderful eyes. She was a very attractive woman and was single so I wondered what was stopping me from asking her out. Yes, she just moved into town and it would appear like I was pushing things but that was the world we lived in, everything happened fast. “I say you go for it, what's the worst thing that could happen? She would shun you?” said Mason, as I told him of my plans to ask Evelyn out on a ‘date'.“Well that's bad enough, not everyone's like you who ask everything in a skirt out.”Mason laughed and shrugged repeatedly. “There's no denying that.”I suddenly remembered the last time I fell in love. It was with Angela, the lady whom I thought I would spend my entire life with. The lady I was so confident was my soulmate, my other half, my wholeness. She was the last person I was in a relationship with, and when she broke out of my life, I almost died. Maybe I did, at the very least
The One 8. Those moments
TILDA So George had asked me out and I said yes! It wasn't like we would start dating immediately...or at all. He had come to me and said he really liked me and would love us to get closer. George was very handsome, what was the risk in it? I said ‘yes', and that meant I would go out on a date with him. But that was all, I didn't think it was wise to jump into anything, no matter how good looking the person was.When he walked up to me that day, telling me he had feelings for me, I was so surprised. George and I weren't close and I had known him my whole life, we were just friendly and never really said anything beyond occasional hellos. It felt really random—so out of nowhere, but I was flattered nonetheless. Every girl in Woodhidge would be flattered if George spoke to them the way he did to me.George was quite popular in the town. Every girl wanted him. I couldn't say my mind hadn't thought crazy things about George and I felt it was normal. He was very goodlooking, even more sex
