"I'm not interesting, sorry," Jack mentioned, trying to finish that subject."I disagree. Go ahead Jack, tell me what you're afraid to tell," the woman asked once again, standing facing him, making eye contact, holding his hands. "I care, and I want to know, please," she asked again. Jack analyzed the situation, he always tried not to discuss the past, but he realized that no matter how hard he tried to run away from it, it always returned somehow, apart from the fact that it was nothing so hidden, it only changed the time it would take for her to find out, and since he wanted to know so badly, he would give her what she wanted."I'm a former street gang member," he began, still uncertain about what to say. "I was in Ronan's gang, that asshole who teased me when he first got here," he continued. "I spent quite a while leading a complicated life, within that universe, that reality; doing various things, using things, causing, I was a decadent person. In a way, I still am," he confessed
"Ah, Jack," the witch sighed, "I have lived long enough to witness the many times evil has triumphed. Not a few of them. Justice is not absolute in the universe, guys. You need to prepare yourselves because the next attack will not be so small, be careful," she warned."What are we going to do? We can't change when we want to, they have that advantage," Evan quoted. "How can we live up to it?"."That's why I have to be with you. I can change them when I want to, as long as I have enough energy to do so. So, I will be building up today, so please don't cause anything that needs my intervention," Susan requested. "Watch out for any activity from investigators or hunters. They shouldn't be long in showing up." Evan reinforced that they would try to keep them away. "I recommend that you try to train the changes, but there's no way to do that often, so keep yourselves well-fed. It's everyone's safety that's at stake," she warned. "I'll keep an eye out as long as I can. I will gather inform
To generate the subject, Kurt asked Felice how Cassie was doing. “From what I noticed, she was doing better. I think it's from the therapy,” she replied. “In the twelve incidents, you were where?” she wanted to know, curious.“I was at the fraternization,” he replied. “Why?”“I don't remember seeing you around here,” Felice mentioned. “Anyway, Cassie had said that you and Jack had been there, helping with the decorating or something.” Kurt stared at her as if he were judging her. “Yeah, women talk about men,” she joked.“So you talk about me,” he teased. “I knew you were interested.” Felice laughed but said nothing. They continued walking through the sectors.“Watch where you're going, you turd,” a male voice said, bumping into Kurt. It was about Ronan, the troublemaker from Jack's past.“Fuck you,” Kurt cursed, without thinking of the consequences. The next instant, Ronan just turned his arm sharply and punched the boy in the face, knocking him down. Felice, startled by the scene, ap
“You have to learn that nobody here will be afraid of you,” Evan warned him, as he watched Felice help Kurt to his feet once more. “If you want to fight that bad, you're going to come at me. Come on,” he threatened, already preparing to defend himself against any blows.“You can include me in that,” Jack said, appearing on the other side. “I hate you,” he shouted at Ronan, who didn't care to walk with him.“You hate me?”, Ronan sneered, showing bloody teeth. “Hate me for what? For accepting you into my gang? For getting you into fights, drinks, drugs, and hookers?” he said, laughing. Jack shivered with rage. At that minute, the audience was silent, now everyone knew what he had been in the past. He knew it was only a matter of time, but he didn't think it would happen that way or any similar kind. He had to face the dilemma of getting involved in the fight by risking change. It would have been an easier decision, had Kurt not been injured on the floor, and Ronan had not exposed him. T
“Don't say that,” she said, moving closer to him, and enveloping him in a warm hug. Suddenly, as he looked at the open door of the place, a new male silhouette appeared, stopped at the door, and made direct eye contact with Kurt, who saw it, at the same time, he felt his whole body goosebumps.“Felice, please come out,” he ordered, still wrapped in the hug, and still seeing who was at the door. She asked the reason, undoing the hug. She noticed where he was looking, so she looked too, seeing who was there, wondering who it was. “Talk to you later, Felice,” he said. “Please go,” he asked again. Without questioning, she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and left the room, staring at the unfamiliar face. When she finally reached the hallway, the boy entered and closed the door, locking it. “How did you get in here?”, Kurt asked, quickly getting up from the bed.“Never mind. I came to run an errand,” Kaio began, without an ounce of shame on his face. “We spotted your witch in our area,”
Finally, still alone in the room, when she had nothing else to do, she lay down in her chair. Having plenty of time, she decided to answer the pending messages from some contracts, at least the important ones because most of the others were just guys trying to get with her, and even though she was the kind of woman who wasn't afraid to say no, she was still the kind of woman who didn't have the patience to deal with it. At that moment, the only current conversation that screamed at her were messages from Josh because at least she knew what to expect from him.On the Internet, the videos of the fight between Ronan, Jack, Kurt, and Evan already had several views. There were many angles, from different moments, some even with special filters. It would be unlikely that no one knew about the confrontation, even the outside world must have seen it too. Cassie kept looking at the videos, she had nothing better to do and still didn't want to risk texting anyone, although she wanted to know th
In the supervisor's office were Evan and Jack, still injured from the fight. When asked about the reason for the fight, they answered exactly what had happened, from Ronan's question with Kurt, which they knew there was no point in what the boy had done, to the part where they arrived on the scene surprising him in the same way. They said that maybe none of it would have been necessary if help had arrived in time and that if they hadn't interrupted, perhaps Kurt wouldn't be okay. Jack would like to say that he didn't care, but that would bring drastic consequences since at that moment he had more serious priorities than dealing with his past with Ronan. Besides, he owed Evan an apology, for if it hadn't been for him, he might have killed the boy.Having finally been dismissed, the boys walked out towards the hallway, which was slightly empty as the place was reasonably more secluded. “I'm sorry, man,” Jack asked his friend, as soon as they had walked a bit down the corridors. “I lost
With the call closed and a modicum of relief in his heart and mind, he turned off his cell phone screen, ignored all the other messages, and headed off to find Kurt and check on his status, as well as to let him know about the meeting with Susan and how everything was consequently falling apart. Along the way, he crossed paths with more and more students, and with them more and more stares, until finally, he felt comfortable ignoring everything. In the distance, he could hear the audio of the videos of the fight, he knew that none of this would be forgotten so quickly, but just as Evan had warned him, they had no time to lose. At that moment, Jack couldn't care less about the opinions of others.When he opened the door to Kurt's room, he saw him lying on the bed with his eyes closed, probably resting. Jack hesitated a little because he knew that resting from a beating was essential to getting better; he would rather not take that away from his friend, but there was so much at stake th
