Chapter 17

Eros was embarrassed to death. He flops around the lunch table and whines continuously. His friends join him at the table and look nervously at Mora. Mora ignores them as she searches for dates' ideas on the supernatural web. 

"I can't believe I ran away. Like, Mora, Like... I've seen this shit happen in movies. It's probably a misunderstanding. It's definitely a misunderstanding. And I fucking ran away!" 

Eros groans and starts mumbling to himself disrupting Mora's focus. She rolls her eyes and walks out of the cafeteria. Eros looks at the disappearing back tearfully and pouts angrily. 

"Hey," Prin asks nervously. "Is she still mad at us for ignoring her last week?" He plays with Blythe's fingers and stares at the table blankly.

"Probably," responds Blythe. Blythe, the unicorn, reeks with negativity reflecting his dark clothes and nails. His hair was once again dyed black but the colorful roots could be seen. As hard as he tried, he will never be able to hide his colorful iris and colorful hair, and he detests that.

"Mora doesn't give a damn," Eros said as he bangs his head on the table. "She's probably annoyed at me whining."

"You and Jade, uh?" Laue asks with a sparkle in her eyes. Her every move ooze sensuality and confidence. She knew what she was capable of and was not afraid to use it.

"We are just... friends?" Eros questions. "I don't know~" Eros was about to bang his head on the table when a hand caught it.

"Stop it!" Mora chides massaging his forehead. She looks at the red bruise worriedly since Eros wasn't a wolf and couldn't heal rapidly.

Eros looks at her confused "Umm?" He looks at the twigs and leaves in her Minnie buns and disheveled hair. "Mora~" he calls out tearfully. "You do care about me!"

Mora scoffs and hands Eros the flowers. "Fucking feel better already!" She reaches out into her pockets and sets a chocolate bar on the table. "Jade probably feel like shit. So, cheer up, Eros boy!"

Eros's face brightens while his friends sit quietly awkwardly waiting for a chance to apologize.

Eros looks at the flowers in his hand uneasy. "Hold up! Mora, where did you get those flower?" Eros smile awkwardly while giving Mora hopeful eyes.

"Outside. where flowers grow." Mora said as she writes down her plan.

"You took the principal's flowers?" Eros half-whispered. The hands holding the flowers starts shaking. Blythe smile enjoying the drama while Prin's eyes open wide in fear.

"It's Mother nature's flowers, not hers. Plus, she tried to kill me last week," Mora responds without looking up. "She owes me that much."

"I thought that we already established that it was a shapeshifter. The poor lady is in a coma."

"Exactly! She won't know either way!"

"Then, why didn't you get more?"

"If I get them all today, you'll get nothing tomorrow."

"If only you were born a boy.." Eros whine.

"Well, I'm not, and, either way, it's a no for me."

"Goddamn!" Laue whistles. "If only you were single,"

Mora looks Laue up and down. "Still be a no for me..."

"Yeah. I'm sorry about last week. It was a dick move and we apologize." Laue said clasping her hands in front of her and the others follow. "Please forgive us?"
