THE STRIKE-What the fuck is wrong with you, Amara! -she shouted at me angrily, the worst part of it all was that she hadn't even left a trace of my blow.How useless.-You deserve that and more! -I told him, if he was angry then I was angrier.Elder grabbed my arm and almost dragged me down another hallway.-Let go of me! -I stirred, besides his grip was strong and he was hurting me.-Can you tell me what's wrong with you?He pushes me towards the wall, challenging me.-You know very well what's wrong, Elder William, that you're an asshole and I shouldn't have trusted you. You're trash and that's why you deserve to be alone! -I approached him, looking him straight in the eyes.Elder nods.-Why don't you tell me something I don't know, Francesita? -his tone was dry, mocking.-You told everyone I spent the night with you," I finally said.She snorts and then laughs.-And isn't that true?I hesitated.-It is, but not the way you told them. You know what? I don't want you to ever come ne

THE KISSFeeling Elder kiss me was strange, new. Something like this couldn't be happening. Not between us. Even though my lips were following his rhythm I involuntarily put my hands on his chest and pulled away.-I can't do this," I told him, "Do you think I'm stupid? I won't fall for your game again. What will you do next, say you brought me to the forest to fuck me? -Forget it, Elder, I don't trust you.I gave him a quick look and turned on my heels, walking away. He had stayed without saying a word, just listening to me which I appreciated. I almost ran to the back door of the school. I was thankful no one was there. I could feel a little blood on the dry leaves on the floor.When I entered the halls I looked for Flavia somewhere, finding her in her locker next to mine.-Flavia," I positioned myself next to her.-Amara, I thought you would take longer," she closes her locker looking at me.-Elder is an idiot.-What did he do to you now? -I wanted to know.-Nothing. I mean for figh

TRAPThe next morning I get up to do what I do every morning: go to the bathroom, shower, get out and get ready for another day of classes. What happened yesterday has me a little shocked. I mean I made out with the girl named Lasy, Flavia had gotten jealous of me and what she did with Karla. There are so many things. I mean, I had to seriously talk to Flavia so I could clear things up; I didn't want to lose her friendship. I had grown fond of her.-Good morning," Flavia says to me and leaves for the bathroom. I saw that Karla was still asleep in her bed.-Good morning," I answered awkwardly. I thought she wouldn't talk to me. That was a good sign, wasn't it? Flavia goes into the bathroom so I'm left alone with Karla, who was starting to stir.I finish combing my hair and take some money to pay for breakfast.Karla yawns and sits on the bed.-Ugh, I don't want to go to class," she complains, "How did you sleep, Amara? -She asks me, "Didn't we keep you awake last night? -she grimaces a

THE COVENANTWhen we got back to school, no one said anything, it was almost ten o'clock at night. That is, I hadn't been in class all day because I had spent most of the time following clues and hiding evidence. The five of us were in the cafeteria, sitting at a table near the pool. Everything was half dark and no one was there. Not one student.-What do we do now? -Karla broke the silence.Wade was staring blankly, perhaps processing what had just happened.-I don't know, pretend nothing happened? -answers Flavia.-No one will talk about this," Elder says, "We'll make a pact. This day never existed. No one knows anything. Burn her clothes, do whatever you can with them, but make her disappear.-Pretend nothing happened? -There are two girls who will never return to their homes, one was almost a child and the other... was Amara's age. The two of them... they deserved more than to be burned in the woods.Wade was right, now I remember why he caught my attention; he was very level-head

LA FOGATAElder was kissing me, however, instead of pushing him away like the first time, I let him do it. I wrapped my arms around his neck as I felt the softness of his lips. His hand travels from the back of my neck to my back, I felt the shivers run down my spine. I admit it felt very good this, too good. But his hand went from my back to lower, so I quickly pulled it up.Elder stops kissing me to leave wet kisses on my neck, near my ear.-I want to eat you," he whispered, it was a whisper that gave me some bemusement but I let it go. When Elder puts his hand under my shirt I stop him and pull away.-We shouldn't do this," I tucked loose strands of hair behind my ear.-Don't start with your stuff," he says, trying to kiss me again. But I pull away. Elder was strange and besides he had a girlfriend.-Excuse me, but I'm not your plaything with whom you entertain yourself from time to time," I crossed my arms a little indignant.He frowns.-Who says you're a toy?-It seems like it.
