Annie snuggled up beside me on the bed, searching for the right words in her mind:"I met Liam in middle school. Even though I had good grades, I wasn’t very popular. One time, I absentmindedly bumped into him, and he kindly reached out his hand to help me pick up my books from the floor. When I found out Liam was part of the music club, I signed up just to be around him, even though I wasn’t very good. We ended up becoming good friends.In our last year of middle school, Liam got it in his head that he wanted to start a band, so I supported him and helped however I could. But we were missing two members—someone who could sing well and someone who was good at playing guitar.""And Nicolas fit both requirements," I guessed."Yeah, but convincing him to join wasn’t easy. I’ve known Nicolas since we were kids, and he’s always been really reserved. When he was little, he used to come to this house to play with William. But William has always been outgoing and friendly, so as he made more

For some reason, the tension in the room had completely dissipated the moment Nicolas picked me up in his arms. As he carried me, I felt the warmth of his body surrounding me, and I drifted off to sleep.“I don’t think that’s the case!”“You’re not the only one who knows things now!”I woke up late at night to a heated argument right in my ears. Annie and Nicolas seemed to be debating something. I opened my eyes slightly, seeing Annie waving a record in front of the bed, while Nicolas sat at the foot of it, his back to me.“This isn’t the best album” Nicolas countered.“Actually, it is the best album” I forced myself to sit up and answered. “At least for me.”“See?” Annie flashed a triumphant smile and skipped over to me. “The lyrics are much deeper. You sounded more inspired, Lisa.”“Sorry, did we wake you?” Nicolas was no longer focused on the album debate. “We should’ve kept it down.”“I was going to wake her up anyway.” Annie dashed out of the room and came back moments later with

The week started with clear skies. I felt the sun on my face as I warmed up for the race. I glanced around at the unfamiliar faces of the other competitors, but none of them seemed to notice me. Meanwhile, Lorraine was getting looks from everyone, as if she were the strongest rival at Siram High."Ready to lose again?"A tall girl with curly black hair and dark skin stood face-to-face with Lorraine. A logo was printed on her white uniform—a red bow and arrow inside a stylish crest. Judging by the symbol, I could bet this was the school Nicolas had said was better than ours in this category. Apparently, they were better at racing too…"Sorry, sweetheart, I didn’t even notice you," Lorraine mocked. "Maybe that’s because you’re not good enough to win again this year.""Excuse me? You think you're better than me now?" The irritation on the competitor’s face was obvious in her aggressive stance. Lorraine just snorted and shrugged."I’m not talking about myself. I’m talking about our newbie

The sun had already started rising over the horizon when I slipped back into my room. I barely avoided getting caught sneaking into the bathroom. I needed a shower to wash off my wolf’s strong scent.When I stepped out of the shower, I noticed a different smell in the air and walked down the hallway to take a peek. The table was set for breakfast, and an unexpected guest was sitting there. Clutching my towel tightly around me, I rushed back to my room, embarrassed, hoping I hadn’t been seen.What’s he doing here? Lisa asked.I have no idea.The scent of freshly baked cookies, rich with spices, masked William’s woody fragrance. My heart pounded as I hurried to get dressed, then I reluctantly returned to the kitchen. William gave me a small smile when he saw me, but I ignored him and sat as far away as possible, on the opposite side of the table."Good morning, Grandma! Good morning, Auntie!""Aren’t you going to greet our guest?" Grandma chided, setting two mugs on the table."What are

Annie walked with me and waited while I changed. After that, we crossed the garden to leave the school and walked down the street for about ten minutes in complete silence."How about that diner?" I asked Annie, pointing to a rustic brick building with a large sign above its wooden double doors that read: "Parada Certa Diner.""The portions aren’t very well-seasoned, but the pastries and pies are amazing.""Then it’s settled."Even though the sign on the door said "Open," there were no customers or waitstaff inside. The only person there was an older woman near the counter, placing a freshly made pie next to two others on the back counter."Oh, hi! Good morning, girls!" The woman turned to us with a bright, welcoming smile."Are you really open?" Annie asked. I thought the sign on the door made that pretty clear."I decided to open a little earlier today. Lucky you! The first customers of the day get a ten percent discount. What can I get you?""A slice of each pie and a cappuccino wi
