"So" Bren says "I was wondering if you would want to go out with me this weekend" Holy Shit! It is only the first day back at school and a guy I have only just met is asking me out!! "Uh Umm Yeah I would like that" I say becoming that too well know beetroot again, I watch his eyes start to sparkle and his face light up, "Really?" He asks "You really mean that?" I don't really know if I do or not but I shrug and say "Yeah, I guess" Then his eyes darken "What?" I ask surprised by his sudden change in mood "Nothing, It's just that I will have to see what my... err friends think of this" I could tell her was lying about them being his 'Friends' but I decided to keep my mouth shut about it "What does it matter what your friends think about it?" I ask hoping he doesn't hear the anger in my tone, If he did he doesn't show it and keeps his voice smooth "I just think they have a right to know"

He was lying again but I wasn't going to ignore it this time "Bren, I'm not stupid, I know they are not your friends" He puts on a hurt look "Lying?" He asks innocently "Why would I be lying to someone as beautiful as you?" He was trying to distract me but I wasn't going to fall for it "Don't try and sweet talk your way out of this, Tell me the truth Bren" I say narrowing my eyes. He takes a few seconds to decide whether to tell me or not, "Fine" He says not looking too happy about his decision "If I don't ask their permission then I am putting at our lives at risk" He lets me digest this newfound knowledge "Whose lives, Bren?" He wastes no time in answering "Me and my Friends'". before I can ask him who his friends really are the teacher walks in, I give him a look that says We are not finished before turning my attention towards the teacher "When I finish talking I am going to sort you into groups of two" she drones "In those groups you and your partner are going to act out a few things you did on your holiday" Well hell, My excursions to the forrest were really probably the only things I did, besides lying in bed and watching TV, And I certainly didn't want anyone, Let alone Bren, Hearing about that. I am snapped back into reality by the teacher calling out the pairs, "Meagan and Timothy, Caitlyn and Tristy, Adelaide and Rose, Cassy and Bren-" nonononono this can't be happening I think to myself panicked, Then I see the alternative, If me and Bren are partners, Partners, Then that gives me this whole lesson to question him, My noes turn into yeses. I turn to see Bren staring at me, I loved it and I hated it all at the same time.Without thinking, memorised in his beautiful gaze I recite a line from my favourite quote, "Wandering eyes often get lost" I quickly apologise cursing myself for being so daft, "S-sorry, Bren. I didn't mean to do that" and when I look up I don't see the usual humorous look in his eyes and he seems like he is a million miles away "Bren?" I ask unsure of his sudden change? "t-that s-spell its i-its a-a w-werewolf repellent".

Hey guys, Sorry for the late update & also sorry that this is a short chapter. I haven't been able to do much because over the holidays my parents had my computer :( I should be updating more frequently & the chapters should become longer from now on :)
