Hoping For A Chance (Book 2)

Chapter 22

Third Person POV

The next day comes and everyone was busy working, helping triad rebuild the school. Josie and Lizzie were still in their room, Lizzie watching over Josie as she rests. Josie was trying to recover from all the dark magic she had in her. Dylan, Hope, Rafael, and Landon were at the school and helping clean it up.

"I didn't volunteer to do all this." Landon says and Dylan laughs.

"Well we volunteered for you." Dylan says picking up trash and tossing it into a big trash dumpster.

"And we're trying to get this school back up so we can finish and have the summer come through because I am ready for summer." Hope tells Landon as she picked up trash also.

"What are you guys doing for summer?" Landon asks everyone.

"Well I'm going to see my family." Dylan explains and smiles.

"And I'm coming with." Hope adds and keeps cleaning.

"Oh that's good. Meeting the family? It's going to be scary." Landon laughs alittle.

"Yeah, but I had nothing else to do and Dylan offered so I thought I'd go." Hope shrugs.

"Well that's nice to you Dylan. You ever going to meet Hope's family?" Landon asks and Dylan clears his throat not expecting that. Hope's family was a sensitive topic for her and Dylan decides to change the subject.

"So what are you guys doing for the summer?" Dylan asks Landon and Rafael.

"We are going to see my dad." Rafael says quietly. Rafael didn't know about himself and had recently found out about his dad after talking to Dr. Saltzman.

"Oh really? That must be scary and nerve wracking. I know you don't know much about your dad and if you need anything Rafael we're here for you." Dylan reassures Rafael. Rafael nods as he continues picking up trash.

"Thank you Dylan. I'll be fine. I got Landon who's going with me." Rafael puts his hand on Landon's shoulder and Landon smiles.

"I got you Rafael. We got this." Landon says. They all continue to clean up and help get the school back into shape. They had the wolves and vampires help lifting what they can. The witches were helping also with the trash and triad had their people building all that they can. This process went on for about a month.

(I'm doing a time jump here.)

Everyone did what they can for about a few months building the school, but at the same time continuing their education with the help of triad. Veronica had set up a few rooms to teach the kids so the few months that the students were stuck at triad, they at least were still doing work for school. Alaric wanted them to stay caught up with their education, wanting the students to live normal lives for once without dealing with monsters. With the help of everyone though, the school was able to get back to a decent enough condition for it to run. The entire school was in the new assembly room and sat down so Alaric can make a speech.

"Alright. First off I would like to thank everyone for helping build this school and working well with triad. I am sorry for what has happened so far to everyone. You did not deserve what happened to you guys and I hope that we all can recover from this. You're all strong and together we can heal. Because of how well you guys have been doing the past few months, I think we all deserve a break and with that I am giving you all a week to start you off with your summer. If you aren't going anywhere and you're wanting to stay here, Dorian has come back from his own break and is willing to watch over the school for the summer for anyone. I will also have Emma here to talk to anyone who needs someone to talk to especially about what happened." Alaric goes on and on about the speech, but eventually finishes.
