Wolf's Curse

Chapter Thirty-three

Chapter 33

How do you tell your friend that you can't hang out with her anymore?

Would I feel bad if my friend did that to me? Yes

Would I forgive my friend after a little while?

Would I be understanding to her?

The last two questions haunted my mind. I couldn't answer those two since I wasn't sure what I would in her situation. I didn't want to be the bad person but I knew that I had no choice. I only hope that Julie forgives me when this is all over and we can be friends again.

"Good morning, everyone!" The chatter soon settled down as the professor entered the room. As the professor took out his computer from his bag, I saw agirl  quickly rush through the door and towards the nearest, hoping that the professor wouldn't notice.

"First of all just because I have my back turned towards you doesn't mean I don't know what you are doing," he looked pointedly at the girl that came in late. "Secondly I hate it when people talk while I am talking. It's rude and simply annoying. Now let's continue with what we were doing yesterday."

The time quickly flew by, and before I knew it, the class had ended. As I walked towards the exit, I noticed Jake indicating to me to follow him. I knew that I shouldn't follow him but my gut was telling me otherwise.

"Hi."

"Hi."

"Why did you call me?"

"I know you have the Defesta Ashley." I froze at his words since I didn't know what to say. Nobody knew about the Defesta except Leon and Jake could have only found out was by him. I felt slightly betrayed by Leon since he told Jake without my permission.

"Leon asked for me to help you get rid of the Defesta."

"How can you help me?"

"Come on! Haven't you figured it out yet? I was Leon's friend who had got the Defesta!"

I stared at him in shock. This was Leon's friend that had the Defesta? A sudden realization dawned on me, Jake wasn't always the person he was nowadays. Nowadays he was always brooding and was always impatient. The person Leon described was always happy and he used to make the best jokes in the worst situations.

"You're him?" I whispered, still not believing this was Leon's friend.

"I am guessing from the shock on your face, Leon told you about the person I used to be. Having the Defesta changes your whole life Ashley, trust me when I say that." A distant look appeared on his face. He looked away from me, preventing me from seeing the expression on his face.

"I have to go, but I'll meet you tomorrow same time and place." Before I had the chance to reply he disappeared from my line of vision.

I stared at the place, Jake was just standing a second ago. There were so many questions that were now left unanswered. I jumped from fright when I heard my ringtone.

"Hi."

"Hi, how are you?" Leon asked.

"Jake was your friend that had the Defesta?"

"Where are you? I am coming to meet you."

"How is Jake going to help me? I know that he is your friend but he has changed so much! The friend you described is the complete opposite of Jake! Have you seen the way Jake treats me? He doesn't like me at all!"

"Answer my question, Ashley!" Leon's voice changed from concerned to demanding suddenly.

"I will answer your question after you answer mine."
