Don't be afraid, Love is the way. {An EXO and NCT fanfic}

Twenty Six

Courtney's P.O.V

I woke up to the usual sound of Ten freaking out about something. I could hear him yelling from downstairs as he complained about a spider or something. I worried about him, he was scared by the littlest things such a bugs when there were other things in this world that are scarier than just little insects. I got up and rubbed my tired eyes and attempted to open them. I looked at my phone, but I was still half asleep and only noticed a few numbers. I saw what I guessed was a nine and panicked. I was late for school! I then laid down my phone and ran to get ready as quick as I could.

I put on my usual school uniform and brushed my hair before running back to my phone. I unlocked it and dialed Samantha's number and waited for her to pick up. After a few rings, she finally picked up. "Yeah..." she mumbled. "Girl! We are late for school! Wake up!" I yelled before hanging up and quickly going to finish getting ready. I brushed my teeth as I multi-tasked, attempting to get ready as fast as I could. I quickly put on my makeup and my favorite light pink lipstick before running for my backpack and shoes.

I walked quickly down the stairs before throwing my shoes on and running to the kitchen. "Johnny! How could you let me sleep that late?!" I said as Ten stopped his ranting to giggle at me. I pushed him playfully as he grinned at me. "You better hurry then" was all Johnny said before turning around to continue what he was doing. I rolled my eyes before walking away from him. I hugged Ten bye before running out the door and to Samantha's house. I noticed that she was already rushing down her driveway towards the road as I ran to her.

I quickly caught up and we rushed to school together, afraid of the trouble we would get in for being late. "Girl! My phone literally died right after you called me. I forgot to charge it last night after we got off of the video chat" she said as she sped up. "Yeah, after "last night" when you were busy" I said as I smirked at her. She rolled her eyes before speaking. "Looks like I wasn't the only one" she said before putting her head up and walking ahead of me. I put my hand to my chest, offended as to what she had suggested, even though it was true. I just didn't want to admit it.

We didn't say much until we got to the school. "What the hell?!" Samantha yelled. I looked quickly to see what she was so mad about only to notice that we were the only ones there. I looked around, now confused as we rushed to the front doors. I pulled on one of the doors but it wouldn't budge. Samantha did the same with the other door but ended up with the same result. I squinted my eyes as I looked inside, looking for a clock. Once I finally found one, I noticed that it said it was 7: 45.

The school wasn't even opened till eight so we were stuck outside until then. I looked at my phone and noticed that it said it was 10:45. I gasped as I realized that my clock had been wrong this whole time and we were actually early. I went to change the time back before noticing that I had a text from Johnny. I opened it and saw that it said 'Got ya! I changed the time on your phone so you would think you were late'. I mentally screamed before texting him back. 'Why would you do that?!' He quickly sent back 'That is what you get for going out when you weren't suppose to.'

I gasped and wondered how he knew about that. Without even asking, he answered my question. 'Ten isn't a very good liar' he said. I rolled my eyes and sat down on the stairs as I ran my hand through my hair and sighed. "What is wrong girl?" Samantha said as she sat down next to me. "Johnny somehow managed to change the time on my phone last night so I would think I was late" I said as I frowned. "Why did he.." she started to say before I interrupted her.

"He found out about me leaving last night" I said quickly. She nodded, knowing that Johnny always seems to know everything somehow. "I can't believe that he would do that though. I am seriously about to disown him as my cousin" I huffed causing Samantha to giggle at me. "So, about last night at the um, the river party..." she struggled to say, not really wanting to bring up the subject. "Yeah, about that..." I started to say before she spoke again. "I can't believe that they are all werewolves!" she yelled. I shushed her quickly before turning around to see if anyone was listening in but there was still no one around.
