After morning classes finished up, Amara headed to the Creepateria. She grabbed her tray and noticed Clawdeen waving her hand over her head. She looked around, thinking she were signalling someone else. When she noticed Clawdeen were signalling her, she quickly rushed over and took a seat.
"Hey ghoul friend, you okay?" Clawdeen questioned, concerned.
Amara was taken back by the question, confused on why the werewolf would ask something like that. She remembered the conversation with Deuce. But that was during her morning classes, Clawdeen couldn't have heard it. "Huh? What do you mean?" she asked back.
Frankie, who was sitting next to Amara, immediately pulled out her iCoffin and showed Amara an article of a blog called Ghostly Gossip. "Here, this is a blog about anything that happens in or about school." she informed.
Amara read over the article and looked back up at the girls. "There's really no problem, I swear! I just have a lot of thoughts." she explained. "I'm not being bullied, everybody here is welcoming and making me feel apart of everything." 
Frankie smiled. "That's great!"
"What about boys?" Clawdeen asked, raising an eyebrow.
Amara paused and blushed, not expecting the question. She let out a small whimper as she thought back to Clawd. Her heartbeat raced as she thought about him. The other ghouls leaned forward, curious.
"Well? Who's the guy?" Cleo pried.
"Yeah, who's the lucky monster?" Frankie questioned. 

"Well, he's a werewolf. . ." Amara finally looked up and saw Clawd enter the Creepateria, with a short vampire clinging onto his arm. Draculaura. Her eyes widened for a split moment. 

Clawd laughed and looked lovingly into Draculaura's eyes who returned the love stare. He grabbed two trays, one for him and one for his vampire girlfriend. He walked to another table and sat down.

Amara felt heartbroken, Clawd was already dating someone. She returned to reality and noticed that the ghouls were still awaiting an answer. She couldn't tell them she liked Clawd, he was dating their best friend! 
She looked around for another werewolf, hoping she'd find someone. Her eyes landed on the pale werewolf that helped her. Romulus.
He was eating with a few other guys. He spotted her looking over and he gave her a smile before returning to the conversation with his friends.

Amara looked back at the others and pointed to the pale werewolf. "Him. Romulus." she told the ghouls. "I don't know a lot about him but he helped me this morning. . ."
"Romulus?! As in my brother's childhood friend?" Clawdeen spoke up. "Nuh-uh! You are NOT dating him!"
"Clawdeen, I don't see the problem. I mean you let Draculaura date Clawd." Frankie reminded.
The werewolf fashionista shook her head and stood up, slamming her hands on the table. "That's because it wouldn't affect my little sister! Howleen looks up and even has a huge monster crush on Romulus!" she explained.
Amara gulped and looked up at Clawdeen. She frowned. "I'm sorry, I didn't know." she whispered out, embarrassed. 
Great, she had upset her new friends anyways. 

"Come on Clawdeen, you need to relax." Cleo commented. "Amara's allowed to like who she likes, as long as she isn't stealing anyone's boyfriend."
Clawdeen growled. "Stay away from my family and our business." she warned Amara before storming out of the Creepateria. 

Amara looked down at her lap. She felt a hand rub her back. She looked up and saw Frankie comforting her. "I didn't know. . ."
Frankie shook her head. "It's fine, Amara. Clawdeen is just really protective of her family and family friends. Her best ghoulfriend, Draculaura started dating her brother and Draculaura got the same treatment at first. Clawdeen will come around, promise!" she reassured.
The new ghoul shook her head slowly. "No, no, it's fine. . . Clawdeen's right." she said, wiping away tears. 
She got up and left the Creepateria, despite the ghouls protests to have her stay.
