Unlocking the curse

The Invisible Scroll

I apologize for the late update. But by now you all would have known this is me. 

This is not edited. Anyways here you go. 

Alex's POV

The rest of the week just passed by. Everyone was so busy with college. It became mechanical, well at least for me. I would get up, go to college, do assignments then go back to bed. But that does't mean, everyone's else was.

Max is planning to become an author sooner than any of us thought. He is working on something 'that flashed in front of him'. Kate went on a date with her senior guy. She told us that he is the captain of the football team. Also Harry made it in the team. So now these guys are 'mates'. Evelyn is still stubborn on meeting Cole. No one can blame her. Luke and Jude are still unaware of the visions.

If it wasn't for the text I received from Cole yesterday, I would have totally forgotten about it. I lost track of time.

We are currently in the cafeteria having our lunch. We are discussing about our weekend plans.

"I am going to a party with my boyfriend. God it sounds so strange telling it out loud." Kate said.

"Yeah it is. Does he know that you are calling him your 'boyfriend'?" Harry asked. Kate was giving Harry death glare.

"You are just jealous of us. You don't have any plans. You are worried that you will die a virgin." Kate stated.

"Oh please, It's my choice and besides I have plans. I have football practice. All weekend. starting from today after college." Harry replied.

Oh, that reminds me, I need to come up with something to stay after hours. I heard my phone buzz. Max was telling something to which I didn't pay attention. There was a message from Cole, I mean Mr.Damon.

'Come to library at 5.30 sharp.'

I looked up from my phone to see Harry nodding at me. That made me realize it was a group message.

"So you guys are going on double date I guess?" Sophie asked me.

"What?" Everyone's eyes were on me. What is happening? What did I miss?

"I am going to that party with Kate. Max is going to work on his story. Harry is going to practice. That leaves the four of you going on double date." Sophie explained.

"Really? Double date? I won't be joining. I am meeting my friend. There is a group project. We need to work on a topic and submit it as soon as possible. I won't be able to make it. Sorry guys." I said.

Evelyn and Jude were looking at me with concern. "But, you just nodded 'yes' for the plan." Jude said.

"I was nodding for the message I received. I am sorry." I replied.

"I hate third wheeling." I heard Jude mumble beside me.

"Oh don't worry, I will make sure Evelyn is the one who is third wheeling." Luke said.

Everyone chuckled. Evelyn was shooting daggers at Luke. Bell rang marking the end of lunch hour. I had the rest of my classes free. I went directly to home after informing everyone. I took a small nap. Then I packed all the necessary things required for tonight. Harry messaged me informing to join him at the college.

Everyone was home by 4.30. When I left the house around 5, I could see Kate's boyfriend waiting for her in his car. I still didn't get a good look at him.

I reached the library within 20 minutes. I made sure no one followed me, or saw me. Harry came pretty soon after I reached.

"Did you know, the water in the cooler at the end of this corridor is cold. And this is the only one which is always cold, in this entire college." Harry said, handing me a bottle. "Do you know the guy who would be joining Mr.Damon?"
