"So, you mean," Jared replies after reading all the information I gathered from Elis.
I wrote them in my journal because I'm afraid werewolves can hear us. The houses here are not too close but I just want to make sure no one will hear us.
"I have to tell Joaquin, or Fuego perhaps," he replies as he tears the paper from my journal. He tears them into tiny pieces.
"Just making sure no one knows," I reply.
"How did Clarkson know that you're here?" I ask in our normal whispering conversation.
"I don't know. Maybe I need to meow more," Jared says. "Maybe we have to be more careful of him." He stands up and fills the glass water from the sink.
"He seems to be..." he pauses and looks at me.
He is hiding something.
"...hiding something," he continues.
I furrow my eyebrows. "Quit reading my mind. Conserve your energy," I glare at him.
"I did not," he raises his eyebrows. He put the torn page of my journal in the glass of water.
"You just did–" I pause realizing he is not lying.
"Maybe we have the same thoughts," he says.
"Clarkson figures out it's you," I mutter.
"Maybe he knows me better than you. I should ask him to be my girlfriend instead of you then," he says.
My mouth gapes.
"Is that an indirect proposal?" I furrow my eyebrows.
He chokes on his drink. His suppressed cough is so loud in the silence of the room. We remain silent for a while. Only the sound of my nails tracing the grains of wooden tables is heard.
Why am I not able to reply? I am attracted to him. I'm pretty sure I like him. For sure he can feel it. But I never know if he likes me back. The thought of him liking me, and getting attracted to me, made me happy. The sound of my heart is heard up my head. I know he can hear it if he tries listening.
"How's your class?" he asks.
"Fun," I reply without looking at him.
He clears his throat. "Can I borrow your phone?"
"Sure," I say and hand it to him. I walk from the dining table to the bed and sit beside him.
He dialed a number. After a few rings, someone answered his call.
