Plenty of humans were monstrous and plenty of monsters knew how to play at human.

|Chapter thirty eight|

Momentarily, we were all in the cafeteria where Aaron and Ashton were on my either side and our rest gang was also here.

"Okay so now will anyone tell me what happened? And why Alyson is massaging her stomach and her face is contorted in pain as if she's gonna shit any moment?" Ashton asked all of us as we gave him a look 'seriously?' while he just had an innocent look on his face. "What?"

Mae sighed and took the initiative to tell him the whole story.

"Wow Princess. Never knew you were so violent." Ashton muttered under his breath. I whipped my head towards him with a glare as he held his hands up in surrender.

I sighed. "Okay...I'm done. Me and Aaron are going now." I said as I got up from the table and was ready to go when I looked back and saw Aaron wasn't following me and everyone had their eyes slightly wide opened.

Oh, seriously?

"We've a presentation to get done with. And I need to practice." I explained myself. Everybody had smug looks on their faces.

"Oh c'mon." I groaned.

"She has a boyfriend guys." Mae said and I looked at her thankfully.

"That doesn't stop us from doing anything to her. And I am pretty sure Cedric won't mind, right Princess?" Ashton smirked at me.

"Oh and that doesn't stop me from punching you so hard that you get a bruise. I'm pretty sure you won't mind, right Apuesto?" I mocked back as he scoffed. Everybody chuckled on our table.

I looked at Aaron where he was still sitting comfortably. "You want to come or what?" I glared at him.

"Now that you want me so badly then I won't stop you from anything. Sure, let's go Muffin."

"Muffin." Andrew mimicked him as I snorted.

"That's literally not how I say." Aaron scowled.

"Okayyyyyyy. Enough." I grabbed Aaron by his hand and dragged him outside. We walked to the fountain where was so much peace as apparently no student was here.

"Let's get done with this."

We started practicing and it went pretty much frustrated but still we managed to get done with this.

"Okay. So that's what your line will be and that's final and we're done for now." I said completing our practice. I leaned back as I looked up at the sky, light breeze moving.

"God, this is so irritating." Aaron said exhaustedly.

"Think of me, this irritating presentation and then you who is double irritating. Don't you think it is so much more difficult for me to cope with you two?"

"Ha, very funny Grayson." He said dryly as I winked at him. I got back to my relaxing mode by closing my eyes this time. I felt somebody's presence around me which was pretty close but didn't bother to open my eyes thinking that it's just Aaron as we both were the only people here. When I started to feel somebody's breath on my neck, I opened my eyes in fright and looked at deep ocean blue eyes of Aaron. The guy was almost on top of me. My heartbeat immediately quickened.

"Wh-what are you—"

"Shhh." He put his fingers on my lips. "Just enjoy the moment."

I narrowed my eyes at him.
