All Chapters of I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

What exactly do people use fame to do? I understand why people try to attain wealth and money, but what's the point of fame?I'm asking, not because I'm suddenly getting philosophical but because it seems I'm now famous. Literally.As a newcomer in second year, I gained a bit of popularity, which was mostly negative. But even then most people know my name, but not my face.Now however, I'm getting known in all aspects. The strange part is, the popularity is not negative. People are actually saying good things about me. Which is surprising, because over here, bad news spreads faster than good ones.As usual, Roxie was the one who came breaking the news to me.Apparently, a student heard what Karl had said to me in the library and told her friends. Her friends told their own friends who in turn told their own friends and it continued. Then boom, I became an overnight star of Blackthorn academy.Indeed, both the books and walls in the library have ears.Since I stepped into school, count

~IVY~I've not been myself since last night. Physically I may look fine, smiling and cracking jokes that never fails to make Roxie laugh. But emotionally, I'm as complicated as Miss Altman.The small moment I spent with Karl has made me even more confused. I seem to feel a bond towards him that I can't explain. He also feels it too, I know he does.What does it mean?The bond, I've noticed, only intensifies when I'm near him. It goes haywire whenever his eyes meet mine. But whenever we're not together, it wanes.What sort of sorcery is this?I would've accused him of using spells on me if he weren't a werewolf.Karl is meant to be avoided. The key word is 'avoided', but I tend to be doing the opposite.During class I couldn't help stealing glances at him, it became so evident that he threw a quizzical glance at me.Things have changed between us. I no longer ignore him entirely, we speak to each other freely now and the students of Blackthorn academy are loving it.We were still the t

~IVY~Yesterday night was definitely something.Luckily we weren't caught by the hunters, but I can sense that Karl and Damon are already suspicious of who the intruders were. A little digging here and there, and my entire secret will be revealed.But that's the least of my worries. The hunters are closing up to me, anytime from now they'll want to strike again. They've already brought more hunters.I have to find the Ebon Testament and get out of here.More importantly, I have to find out who truly killed Alyssa. With what I heard yesterday, the murderer seems to be a hunter.If this is true, the next question is why? What did Alyssa do, or rather what does she know?Does she know about the Ebon Testament? Does she know about me?I need to find out, and that's why I'll have to meet with Damon today to continue the investigation.Unfortunately, there's no library period today. So I text Damon that we should meet during lunch.At the cafeteria, I'm barely three spoons in when Damon si

~IVY~I think I should be the principal of Blackthorn academy, even if it's for a day.If I ever held such a position, anyday I'd be immensely happy like today, I'll proclaim a class free day. Everyone will have a free day dedicated to do whatever they like without going to class.While our teacher goes on about the importance of the 1709 war on today's modern paranormal world, Roxie pokes me with her pen."Why are you shining your teeth as though you found a genie lamp? Is listening to the history of Byore Llandaff so interesting?"Oh Roxie, she can never understand the joy I feel even if I explained it to her a million times.She'll never understand the joy of finding what you've long searched for almost all your life.Last night, I had taken the initiative to continue decoding the Ebon Testament map and there was a clue saying I should go to, "where the fierce becomes more fierce". After much thinking at the fountain at the library's courtyard. I figured that the map probably mea

~IVY~If you can't beat them, join them.I've always thought this saying is never for me. I always like to be unique, to be different. If I can't beat them, I'll create a whole new group entirely but I'll never join them.That's what I thought until tonight.Everyone knows how artifacts are protected like prized treasure in this world. In times of disaster, artifacts can be chosen over us to be protected, that's how valued they are.The school holds theirs in a special, highly restricted room. The security is tight as though they were guarding the heavens itself.The room is rarely opened, and anytime it is, the security is tripled. You can only just stare at it, touch it and you get expelled.All my life I've never really seen an artifact. Though most of them are displayed at the museums, I've been too busy hiding from hunters to attend public events.A student in third year managed to get her hand on an artifact. How she got her hand on it, we don't really know. All we know is that
