Chapter Text
September 22nd, Friday. Dear diary, it’s been three weeks since I became friends with the ghouls. Actually ‘friends’ aren’t the right words more like the ghouls are the people who I work with, and our job is being popular and.. stuff.
Bella was writing in her diary quickly while sitting at the end of the stairs in KADE during the free period. It wasn’t frequent that she’d get free time nowadays, since the ghouls always wanted to hang out or have her do something for them, so she took what time she had to relax. Reading or writing or just practicing whatever spells she wanted. She kept her spell book and diary either on her or in her locker, but right now she was holding both.
But genuinely, these past changes have been Crazy! Of course, there aresome bad parts like writing notes and letters and giving potions to the ghouls that I don’t like, but I get noticed and people talk to me! It’s all so sudden. These kids that never even glanced at me the week I was here now I’m being talked to and talked about-
A sudden shadow gets cast above her, blocking the light that she was using to write.
Bella slowly looks up and sees Mark towering over her, smiling, and she relaxes and smiles back. “Oh hey Mark!”
“Hi Bella!” Mark sits down next to her sitting on the end of the stairs and looks over her shoulder at what Bella was writing in “whatcha doing?”
She quickly closes the book with a small embarrassed smile “Nothing! Just, you know, homework.”
Mark raised an eyebrow at her but dropped the topic. “Okay! But, I barely see you anymore Bella, you look so.. different! I’m still not used to it.”
Bella lets out a small giggle and nudges him lightly with her elbow “Thank you, but c’mon you don’t have to say that though.”
“I mean it though! You really do look beautiful these days Bella.” He adds on with a small hand gesture referring to all of her.
Bella smiled at him, she really missed these small moments with her best friend. Just that moment made her feel better than any other time she had with the ghouls. That's the price she paid though.
“You know it’s still the same me underneath.” She looks at her own outfit then back at Mark.
He chuckles lightly in response and drops eye contact. “Are you sure.?”
Bella’s smile falls just slightly. Of course, they haven’t been hanging out a lot but the guilt still lingers. “I’m sorry, that I flaked on our movie night, and that we haven’t been hanging out much. I’ve just had a lot going on.”
“I understand! You’re with the ghouls now.” Mark looks back at her with that same smile that shows off his fangs. “That’s exciting.”
Bella rolls her eyes with affection. “It’s whatever. But I promise Mark, we’ll see that movie and get snacks and just hangout okay? No ghouls, no drama, nothing but us and our fun little movie with a happy ending, and some very unhealthy snacks.”
Mark nods, about to talk more, when someone walked, basically stormed their way over, and stood in front of them staring down at Bella.
“Bella!”
The loud sound of her voice scared both of them as they both looked up to face Wendy looking down at the two with her arms crossed. “Nerissa says to get your ass to our table, now.”
“How lovely.” Bella grits her teeth slightly and gets up from the step her and Mark were sitting on while holding her books to her chest. “I’m sorry Mark, we’ll talk soon okay?”
Mark nods and waves Bella goodbye as she and Wendy walk to the cafeteria to meet the others. Leaving Mark alone.
The second the two walked in Bella looked around slightly and made accidental eye contact with the mysterious boy she saw three weeks ago in the hallway. He still looked annoyed, sitting at a table in the back, alone with nothing but a spell book. Bella looks away with a slight thought about the boy.
Nerissa and Sera were standing next to their table in the cafeteria when Bella and Wendy got there, and Nerissa was the first one to speak and get straight to the point the second they all stood together, “Bella! I need a forged note in Harry Wolfe’s handwriting.”
The immediate demand threw her a bit off guard but Bella nodded and opened to a blank page in her diary that she could easily tear out and give to Nerissa, and with her spell book being held up behind it, it was fairly easy to write.
And even though Bella could write standing and there was a table right next to them, Nerissa speaks up with a sly smile, “You’ll need something to write on.” Nerissa looks towards Wendy immediately and with her hand on her hip says, “Wendy bend over.”
Wendy rolls her eyes and bends over very reluctantly, putting her hands on her knees. Bella hesitates but one glare from Nerissa makes Bella immediately place her notebook on Wendy, ready to write.
Nerissa smiles. “Ready?” Bella nods and Nerissa starts her speech on what she wants Bella to write. “Hey, cool dude. I’ve been seeing you around and thinking about us in the good old days, I hope you can come to my homecoming party this weekend, hope to see you there. -Harry.”
“Oh! And put a little paw drawing next to the signature! Seems like something that werewolf would do.” Bella soon finishes up, rips out the paper from her notebook, folds it, and hands it to Nerissa. “That’s interesting. Who’s this for anyway?”
Nerissa takes the folded paper while answering Bella’s question. “ Well, I recently got reminded that Harry used to hang out with Mark Dracu-Skeeter back in elementary school.”
“Oh, Mark?” As soon as Mark was mentioned Bella felt her heart sink to her stomach. Bella questions as if she misheard but she knew they were serious by how she saw Mark get mistreated the times before. But still, she remembered something that Mark mentioned to her before about the times in elementary school. “Well, didn’t you all use to hang out with him as well?”
“We didn’t all hold hands and play games every day on the kickball field.” Says Wendy. “Harry was the only one who would even hang out with Mark back then anyways. In middle school, Harry completely cut him off! That dumb vampire, There were rumors that it was because Mark is a vampire and Harry’s a werewolf. But we all knew it was because that vampire was too wimpy to do anything fun.”
Bella looks at Wendy, that pit in her stomach getting stronger by the second but her gaze turned to Sera as the angel talks “Oh yeah. They were best friends. I almost forgot.”
“Gosh, could you sound more bored Sera?!” Wendy snaps at the angel, and Sera answers back after a long pause with a shrug. “I don’t know.”
Wendy rolls her eyes with an annoyed groan. “Stupid angel.”
While the three were talking, Nerissa unfolded the note and reread it with a small smile. “Perfect!” She folds back up the paper and starts to walk over to Harry and Mino while Bella watches in horror.
“It’d be so righteous to be in the middle of a Bella Donna and Nerissa Signhs sandwich..” Mino says while Harry just laughs standing next to him. Still laughing he offered his fist, “Oh yeah punch it in!” They fist-bumped while laughing till Nerissa walked up to them.
“Oh, Harry.” She gives a small wave to him, and then three follow behind Nerissa as she stands in front of the two jocks. While smiling she walks very close to him and puts the folded note to his chest.
“Be a sweetie and give this to the wimpy vampy for me please? It’s important.” Nerissa uses her other hand to put on the back of Harry’s neck as she puckers her lips and looks up at Harry. He lets out a sly smile and takes the folded paper from her.
“Only cause you asked.” Harry takes the note letting Nerissa take a step back with a knowing smile on her face and her hand on her hip. Harry starts to open the note with Mino looking over his shoulder to see as well “But since when did you start talking to that pushover?”
“Oh!” Nerissa holds the paper closed before he can open it but lets go as she talks. “Don’t read it. He wanted advice on how to actually get girls, something you two don’t need, right?”
At the corner of Bella’s eye she can see the mystery boy at the back of the cafeteria take his spell book and leave.
Mino and Harry look at each other with this look as if deciding if they can get girls without advice from the Ghouls but then Mino speaks up. “Harry, a word.” Suddenly Bella took that as a chance to grab the folded note from Harry’s hand as the two jocks walked away.
Nerissa turns to Bella with Wendy and Sera on either side of Bella, sharing a wary glance at what’s to come next. Nerissa lets out a small scoff of almost shock and disbelief. “Bella. What do you think you’re doing?”
Bella couldn’t believe what she was doing either but she knew she had to do this “Nerissa, please don’t do this. Not to Mark.”
“What’s the big deal?!” Wendy speaks up and walks over to stand next to Nerissa. “It’ll give him a huge ego boost for weeks! And hell, that dumb vampire might actually get a girl.”
Nerissa’s eye twitched. “Shut up Wendy!”
“Fine Nerissa!”
Sera slowly walks over and stands on the side next to Nerissa and across from Bella. But Bella, starting to feel a bit hopeless with the clear sense of sides chosen, still stands up to them. “Mark told me that he’s been dying to be friends with Harry again since middle school, this’ll break his heart when he finds out it’s a lie.”
Nerissa rolls her eyes at Bella’s words. “Geez Bella, you never cared this much when we had you do shit like this before.” Bella sighs and talks while avoiding eye contact looking at the floor. “But Mark's my friend and a sweet guy and-“
“Are we seriously gonna have a problem here?!” Nerissa raised her voice at Bella. Making Bella stared at her in surprise while Nerissa continued. “What? You got a bone to pick?”
Nerissa sighs and takes a step closer to Bella while talking in a sweet voice. “You’ve done all of this, written a bunch of notes and letters for us, even brewing whatever potions we ask you to! You’ve come so far.” She stands next to Bella and grabs her shoulders tightly. Making Bella suck in a breath and tense up due to the pain of Nerissa gripping her shoulders. Nerissa grits her teeth and talks to Bella in an almost threatening tone. “So why now, why over that Vampire, are you pulling on my dick?”
“You’re lucky Bella, because normally I’d just slap your face off in front of everyone in this cafeteria.” Nerissa, while still holding her shoulders tightly, makes Bella turn around and look at all the students in the cafeteria. “But I’m feeling nice today. So how about we just walk around and we just give some advice hm?”
Nerissa lets go of Bella’s shoulders and stands back with the ghouls. “And you better listen up, Bitch.”
The three make Bella walk out of the cafeteria and into the hallways. Nerissa stands next to Bella While Wendy is on the other side of Nerissa, and Sera is on the other side of Bella as they all walk together.
Bella is still holding onto that dreadful note in her hand just wanting to get rid of it in some way, looking around for some type of way to get rid of the note.
Nerissa speaks up in that condescending voice “You’re smart Bella, but I don’t think you fully understand what we are to this school and how extremely lucky you are.”
They turn the corner and walk down a hall full of students and they all either move out of the way for them, stare, or start whispering, a pattern that Bella had noticed a lot recently. “We like being beautiful and hot. We buy things others can’t get, it’s a privilege.”
Bella looks at Nerissa while the siren talks, of course this all was understood by Bella by now but it’s not like it mattered to her anyway. “Why-“ She was easily cut off by Nerissa. “We get to go to parties and drink, something I know you’ve never done right?”
Bella stayed quiet and looked down at the note in her hand then Sera spoke up for once. “Class is boring. We skip normally.”
“But I don’t-“ Nerissa cuts her off again and speaks over Bella. “We got you this adorable new uniform.” Nerissa points at Bella’s uniform, making her feel slightly guilty.
Nerissa then makes her lift her head to see an Oni staring at her. “See how guys notice you now? You could totally screw that.” Nerissa let go of her while Bella blushed and turned her head towards Nerissa. “No!”
A laugh came from Wendy that drew in Bella’s attention. “We can do whatever we want.” And as an example, Wendy elbowed someone into a locker and closed the locker door behind them.
Bella gasped and tried to go over to help but was yanked back by Nerissa, grabbing her and holding her by her wrist, almost making Bella drop her spell book and diary. “We gave this all to you. If you lack the fucking balls to give that vampire that note then you are just as wimpy as him and you can have your mommy fix you a snack at that point.”
Nerissa lets go of Bella‘s wrist and shrugs. “Or you can stay with us, have some rum and take some potions in my Porsche with the two meat heads.” She giggles and they keep walking.
“I can’t hurt Mark.” Bella mumbles while rubbing her wrist from the tight pain of Nerissa squeezing it, still holding onto the paper.
Wendy speaks up over her. “You’re acting like it’s the end of the world! These weirdo’s will do whatever we ask! And all you have to do is say goodbye to your little friend. You know how much losers would give their life to be in your shoes right now?”
Sera nods and continues with what Wendy was saying. “You haven’t been with him much anyways so what’s the point? He’s not much of a friend in the end.”
Bella’s face turned with even more guilt while there was a small laugh from Nerissa and Wendy before Wendy commented again. “Even if that vampire had your shot, he’d have left you rotting already! So just forget that mosquito.”
Suddenly the note gets snatched from Bella’s hand by Nerissa “But if you don’t have the guts for it that's fine. Maybe you and Skeeter can watch Sesame Street together while he braids your hair.” Nerissa passes the note to Wendy as Bella tries to grab it back.
“Or we can go and tear up someone’s lawn, or ruin the graveyard behind school!” Wendy laughs and hands the paper to Sera walking over to the lockers as Bella tries to snatch it back once more.
“You have to prove it to us. I don’t care though.” Sera shrugs and slips the note into a locker.
Mark's locker.
“Oh no no no no no!” Bella was one second too late from grabbing the note before it fell into the locker. She tried to open it or remember his locker combination, but with no luck.
She kept mumbling to herself while trying to get the locker open till she was yanked and pulled away by Wendy to the other side of the hall where she stood watching in horror as Mark walked up to his locker unknowingly being watched by the four of them.
She tried to go to him, to tell Mark everything, to say she’s sorry, but she was hesitant. The three’s words had really gotten to her, she couldn’t believe it. Bella knew over all else that she cared for Mark and didn’t want him hurt, but still she stood there and just watched. But it didn’t help that Wendy was holding her shoulders back.
Bella watched as Mark opened his locker and the folded note immediately fell out. The three kept talking to her as the horrible feeling in her gut grew stronger and stronger.
They all watch as Mark opens the note and starts reading it, and Wendy speaks up first. “You can join the team, or you can keep whining and moaning like a baby.”
Mark rereads the note.
Sera continues on next. “At this point, it’s living the dream or dying alone.”
His face lights up and he looks around.
Then finally Nerissa. “You can live like us, but keep testing me and you end up like Him.” Wendy lets go of Bella’s shoulders and Nerissa pushes her forward as Mark spots them in the hall and comes up to her.
“Bella, look! Harry just invited me to the homecoming party! This is so cool, I might even give you a run for your money!” He laughs and shows her the note and smiles like never before as they all wait for her reply.
“I-… Color me stoked.”
Bella smiles softly at Mark, the grip on her books tightening around her arms as Mark looks at the note again. “I’m so happy!” Mark walks away down the halls out of sight while staring at the note.
She watched in disbelief and horror as Mark walked away and she didn’t make an effort to stop it. The three walk in front of Bella while Bella stares back at them, guilt-ridden with the feeling of almost crying.
“See, now you’re-“ Wendy started to speak before Nerissa stopped her.
“Shut up Wendy!”
“Whatever!”
Nerissa rolls her eyes and looks at Bella as if she’s looking down at her. “Just keep proving to us that you’re not that lame-ass that you were before. You’re in my Candy Store now, Bella.”
She looks at all of them in shock and Bella pushed past them and quickly walks off away from them, away from their influence, away from their pressure, as well to keep herself from crying in front of them, also to attempt to find Mark, maybe then she might have the guts to speak up.
Bella was walking down the halls holding her two books and looking around for Mark to at least try to explain herself and beg for forgiveness if she can, and possibly explain everything without the ghouls knowing.
She takes a deep breath to calm her nerves but the students around looking at her and whispering, just being another horrible reminder of her choices.
She turns the corner, officially making a lap around the school and ending up back where her biggest regret started, except the ghouls left the hallway and were somewhere. That somewhere else hopefully being far away from her.
Still, Mark was nowhere to be found.
Bella stood tall, ready to take another lap around school before she ran out of time for the free period she had. Till she heard an almost peeved voice.
“That was stupid. Giving in to the swatch dogs like that. They’re gonna kill that vampire.”
Bella stops in her tracks and turns her head slowly towards the mystery boy sitting on one of the benches in the hallway, not looking up from the spell book in his hands. That same long jacket over his KADE uniform and white colored tips on his hair.
She turned towards the boy and raised an eyebrow. “I’m sorry, what was that?” Bella says with a bit too much sass than she would’ve liked.
The boy gets up from his seat with an annoyed groan. “I assumed you were smarter than that.” Closing his spell book as he gets up, He stands tall compared to Bella, looking down at her as he talks. “You were still hesitant. If you actually have a soul, it’d be smart to keep it.”
He starts to walk away but makes one more comment. “We’re all made for some evil.”
Bella lets out a small chuckle in disbelief, following the taller boy as he starts to walk away. “Okay don’t just quote one of Professor Lovecraft's books and walk away excuse me.”
The boy stops walking and looks back at Bella as he speaks. “You’ve read?” Bella nods. “All of them.”
“Hm. Well read.” The boy had a bored expression on his face now, different from the small annoyed look earlier. There was a small silence between them till Bella broke it. “I didn’t catch your name.”
“I didn’t throw it.”
He slowly turned and walked away from Bella.
Her mouth fell slightly open in shock. Still processing that there’s someone who read the same things as her, does the same spells as her, isn’t afraid to call her out, and slightly complimented the small part of her that didn’t change, it was a kind of surprise that made her heart beat harder in her chest.
All of this realization came at once and all Bella could let out was a quiet “whoa.” While her cheeks turned pink. She soon snaps out of it and opens her diary, starting to write in it. Once in a while stealing glances towards the boy walking away down the hall.
Mino and Harry are standing across the hall, Harry looking through his locker while Mino is leaning against the lockers staring at the mystery boy that Bella just talked with.
“Who does that guy in that jacket think he is anyways? Bo Diddley?” Mino says while elbowing Harry to take a look.
“Do you even know Bo Diddley is?”Harry turns around and closes his locker, facing Mino who just shrugs while keeping his eye on the boy. “I heard it somewhere.”
Harry rolls his eyes in annoyance and shoves his hands in his pockets then looks at who Mino is talking about. “He’s in my rehabilitation class, he’s quiet and a bit weird.” Harry averts his gaze to Bella looking completely smitten while trying to hold back a smile. “Bella’s into his act no doubt about that.”
“Let’s kick his ass!” Mino pushes himself off the locker, already rolling up his one sleeve on his jacket before Harry speaks up. “C’mon, man. We’re seniors we’re too old for that shit.”
Mino ignores Harry and walks over to the boy, putting his arm over his shoulder. “Hey weirdo!” Harry groans and follows behind his buddy.
Mino hits the other's chest while Harry walks over and stands on the boy's other side. Mino moves really close to the other's ear. “So what did your mommy say when you got sent to KADE academyy?”
Harry moves in close like Mino did. “My buddy Mino just asked you a question.” The two jocks look at each other, nod once, then look back at the boy.
“Hey Harry, doesn’t this school have a no humans allowed rule?” Students start to crowd and talk amongst themselves, wary that a fight is about to break out.
The boy with the long jacket finally speaks up after staying silent throughout their taunting. “I don’t have time for this bullshit.” The boy looks at Mino like he’s dirt on the bottom of his shoe.
“Harry. Hold his arms.”
Harry holds the boy by his upper arms, turning him to face Mino as Mino pulls back his fist and throws the first punch towards the boy, landing on his face. A crowd starts to form immediately around them, kids yelling and cheering for whoever looks like they're winning, but mainly yelling in shock that there’s a fight;
“Holy shit!”
Bella hears the commotion immediately and rushes over, to possibly persuade whoever is fighting to put a stop to it or get a teacher.
“Holy shit!”
She gets to the crowd of kids that formed a circle around those fighting and pushes her way through to the front, just to see the two meatheads and mystery boy.
“Holy shit!”
The boy had soon gotten the upper hand and thrashed his spell book across the minotaur’s head, making Mino fall to the floor. The boy took that chance to escape Harry’s grip, turning around, and smashing it across Harry’s face as well.
“Holy shit!”
Mino gets up and rushes towards him only for the boy to open up his book and mumble something in Latin that made sculk go flying towards him, which made Mino fall to the floor in pain.
“Holy shit!”
Bella watched in horror and shock at the fighting till focusing back on reality and started to flip through her spell book.
“Holy shit!”
The boy closes his book and Harry comes up in front of him but immediately the boy starts to throw a punch.
“Holy shit!”
Bella finds the page she needs and says something in Latin. As soon as she cast the spell everything around her slows down till it’s at a full halt when time stops.
She pauses for a moment just to look at the bizarreness of it all. The kids around are cheering and yelling, Mino on the floor clutching his stomach in pain, Harry making an ugly scrunched up face as he’s about to get punched and the unknown kid having a raging look on his face.
“This looks horrible.” Bella closes her spell book and observes for a second more before walking and looking at the boy who made her so giddy earlier and she starts to talk to herself. “Normally when I see boys fight it’s sloppy and immature.”
“But this one. It feels different.” But she can't be thinking these things! “This is just another stupid fight that the students get into, and I shouldn't even watch this crap that's not who I am!”
She looks him up and down then looks back at his very angry expression. “But with this kid,”
“Damn.”
She lets out a small chuckle at her own absurdity. This aggressive, rude, brutally honest kid can't be the one she wants. Out of all the students and everyone in their school, why this one?!
“Okay, Mr. No-name kid. Who even are you? Just another delinquent? Troublemaker?!“
Bella walks around to the other side of him to get a different angle of his raging face. That different angle made her heart soften as he held her books tighter against her chest, and talked in almost a whisper. “And could you fight for me?”
She thought about it for a good minute, if she reallydid like this boy then she should roll out the pros and cons of whether it could actually be a good idea.
Looking at all the students frozen in the moment of yelling and cheering. “You could face a crowd that's for sure.” Bella looked back at the boy's face. “And earlier you talked to me, so you definitely aren't afraid to be seen with me.” Bella makes a mental note of these things.
“But would you be proud to be seen with me?” She let out a sigh and ducked under the boy's arm while he was mid-punch towards Harry. Bella gets a glimpse of Mino lying on the floor in pain with a horrible look on his face. She couldn't hold in her loud laugh.
“HAHAHA.”
Bella took in a deep breath after her loud laugh and focused back on the boy with a smile on her face. She moved her hand down with his other hand which was holding his spell book, Bella reached down and hesitantly put her hand over his.
“Could you even hold my hand proudly? Walk with me through no-man's land? Okay, I'm getting way too ahead of myself.” Bella steps away and removes her hand from his.
She wiped her hand against her skirt in habit, while looking back at him. “Of course it'll be fine if he doesn't like me back, or want what I want.” And suddenly Bella wasn't talking to herself anymore, she looked directly into the mystery kid's angry eyes while he was frozen in time.
“But I would fight for you. If you would fight for me.”
Bella becomes aware of the slow increase in time, her spell was wearing off, and time was coming back slowly but surely. The importance of understanding of her feelings was something she wanted to know before the period of time came back fully.
“Geez, this is so stupid! This is just a juvenile boy that I don't even know the name of, and he's literally in a fight right in front of me! But even then, Mino and Harry wanted to drive him into the ground, and he's fighting back.”
Bella isn't even paying attention to the fact that the boy’s fist is slowly getting closer and closer to punching Harry in the face while she's just mumbling to herself.
“If we were together, and people tried to drive us underground, he would fight for us right? I mean I would.” Bella lets out a small snicker with a small red tint to her cheeks. “I mean, he can set my broken bones. And I know CPR.” Bella snapped out of her love struck state. “That’s stupid.”
She takes a step back and actually starts to observe what's going on right in front of her nose. There was a slow-mo scream that came from Harry that in Bella’s opinion, was way too high-pitched for a werewolf even when being played in slow-mo.
The punch made contact with Harry’s face, finally shutting up his scream and making Harry’s head whip to the side as his body soon followed, making him slowly fall to the ground.
“I mean, he can punch real good. And lasted longer than I thought he would.”
At the same time, as all this was happening Mino was starting to get up, and as soon as Harry hit the ground because of the boy. Mino was ready to throw a punch again and the boy turned around, only to watch Mino miss his punch by an inch.
While the slow-mo is still in effect the boy yells.“Really?” while throwing his arms in the air. While Mino was regaining his balance, the boy let his spell book fall to the ground and grabbed the sides of Mino’s head.
Bella lets out a small gasp while watching the scene of the boy as he leans his head back and thrashes down onto Mino.
Three times.
Three slow, agonizing, and painful head-butts straight onto Mino’s head.
Bella in all this shock catches herself thinking. “Please be free some night. If you’re still alive.”
Bella watches in almost wide-eyed horror as Mino tries to grab onto him or hit him in some sort of way while he is falling onto the floor once again.
She takes a few steps back to her original spot in the crowd, watching as the boy wipes the side of his bleeding lip, it healed almost immediately along with the gash that was on his forehead from head-butting Mino.
Making Bella connect the dots that this boy was a Revenant.
The boy leans down and picks up his spell book. As he stands tall, still moving in slow motion, with his free hand he pushes his hair back in such a look with irritation and aggravation on his face.
Safe to say Bella was captivated by this boy, she was blushing and grinning at him by the time that the time turned back to normal speed, the loud normal pace of kids yelling and the painful moans that came from the two jocks, and Bella muttered under her breath.
“I’d fight for you. If you’d fight for me.”
The boy made eye contact with Bella, both holding that sensitive eye contact longer than a normal accidental encounter, as if there weren’t kids laughing and cheering around the fight, while Bella was just another face in the crowd.
The eye contact broke as Bella felt someone push past her and head towards where the main fight happened. She turned her head to see and saw the teacher Baba Yaga.
Her staff tapped on the floor with every step and she saw the mess of both the jocks lying on the floor in agony while the boy just stood there. “Stupid children.”
“Detention! For the three of you!” Baba Yaga slammed her staff down on the ground, making the three turn into frogs. The kids around let out a mutual sound of disappointment as the crowd started to walk away and die down.
Bella looked at the frog and let out a small giggle at the stupidity of it, then walked off with the knowledge of her feelings.
A few hours later Mino and Harry walk out of the detention room and down the empty halls, finally back to their normal monstrous selves but still injured from the fight.
”Oh man this sucks!” Mino yelled while Harry was walking next to him, starting to walk to their dorm together. “That guys stronger than Bo Diddley!”
Harry holds his nose in pain. “Gotta admit though, that guy held himself up so cool. It was like that scene in a film I saw where this guy enters a dragon cave and fights it and he’s like shirtless and really ripped.” Harry looks over at Mino once he was done talking just to see Mino staring at him.
“Dude, you got a man-crush.” Mino says while chuckling at Harry.
In response Harry lets go of his injured nose and pushes Mino “Dude shut up!” Mino just smiles and puts his hands to his mouth to make his yell louder.
Mino yells down the empty halls, “Harry plays for both teams!” Harry keeps pushing him down the halls quickly as he starts yelling at him. “Shut up dude, Shut up!”
Harry keeps pushing while Mino is laughing so hard and keeps trying to yell.
