We ran to Beth's room only to find a huge hole on the wall . She , or someone else had managed to make a huge wall on one side of her room , and sunlight had already rushed in as soon as it got access inside .
Beth was gone . GONE . Did she run away ? I was confused . Why would she do something like that ? Did Nate make her do it ? For the time being , I used my strength to tilt her bed upright and covered the wall . We wanted to see if she would come through the same hole she made so we didn't fix it right away .
The process of getting Nate to believe that I was indeed on their side would take some time so we had some time for ourselves . Ben and I decided to go out . I must've forgotten how famous he was because the restaurant we went to , the girls were head over heels for him . I had to restrain myself from using magic due to jealousy .
"Hey , calm down ! You're face is like a tomato !" Ben said to me , laughing in between , enjoying how jealous I was .
I prayed for karma to pay him back and it did . A random guy came to talk to me when I was coming back from washing my hands . "Hey , you're Rene , right ? We were in the same bio class inn high school ?" He said to make me remind him in my memories .
"Oh ! Ryan ! It's been so long since we last met ! " Being way too surprised to see him, I forgot that Ben was sitting right around the corner , watching me with hawk eyes . It had only been two minutes when Ben had lost his patience and walked up to me . "Babe ! Let's go home now . I'm starving for you !" I choked on my food when he said that , especially when it was in front of RYAN .
"Ben ! Stop joking around . Ryan , meet my friend , Ben . "
"Friend ? Then tell me why you let me kiss you yesterday ? Are you ashamed of me ?"
I shook my head , laughing . "Why are you laughing ?" The jealousy and confusion in Ben's voice had finally made Ryan feel awkward enough to leave us alone . " I did let you kiss me but we're technically just on a date . I just didn't think it was the right time to call you my boyfriend yet . "
My heart melted into nothing when he finally did a cute pout . "I called you babe in front of that guy , you should've taken the hint ."
I dishevelled his hair and said , "I'll call you bae from now on , ok ?"
He gave me a satisfied smile and we walked out . On the way out , I saw that Ryan was waiting outside . Ben tightened his hold on my hand and walked up to him . "Hey , what's your name again ?"
Ryan had yet to notice me so he gave a disgusting look to Ben . Both of them clearly disliked each other . Within a split second , Ryan's eyes were on me again . "Oh , I was waiting for you ! "
He caught my other hand and tried pulling me away from Ben , to which Ben refused. Both of them had their hands on both of my hands , and neither of them were leaving . "Guys , please stop this . I'm not a toy . Let's go , Ben ."
Ryan loosened his grip on me when I called for Ben and not him . BEN loosened his grip on me because I didn't call him bae .
Sighing loudly , I said , "Let's go , BAE." My face was red with embarrassment but Ben was satisfied . We left with a jealous Ryan behind . I didn't know what to tell to him .
We went back home and was disappointed to find that Beth had not come back yet . Nobody knew what to do in the meantime . It was decided by us that we would argue in front of Beth so that Nate would know what was going on but we didn't have her .
When she didn't reach back for the next two days either , we decided to start searching for her . Nath and I were to search for her in both Fredrick's and Nate's house . Ben , even though he knew that Nath was already married , his eyes were shooting fire at him . I laughed the situation off because dad , who had assigned us with different locations , had left with Kate to the forest near us to search .
"Have you been distancing yourself from us lately ? I felt like that nowadays . "
Nath asked me while he was driving to go to Fredrick's house first . "I don't think that I'm distancing . It's probably because Ben's been a larger distraction for me . "
We talked a lot until and got so caught up in our conversation that we ended up two blocks in front of where we needed to go . We had a small laugh about it and then , when Nate found a good parking by the roadside , parked there after asking me if I would be ok with walking to our destination . He was always considerate while making decisions .
When I got information on Sirens , I knew that it would be a very important matter for me . I had a feeling that it would cost something very valuable to me . We needed to find the siren who Nate had captured and make sure that it doesn't go to the wrong way .
We were walking down the side walk casually when I noticed Fredrick in one of the houses . Do all rich people have some kind of secret hideout ? Maybe . I answered myself .
"Nath , look over there . " I pointed out to where I saw Fredrick in . Nath was surprised as well . If Fredrick wasn't in his house and was here , there should be something that's interesting there for him to stay .
"Well then , let's see if he's ready to come out right now . "
