This morning Nathan just kept silent while looking at the glass window of the bus he was traveling in. An airpods was stuck sweetly in both ears. Hip-hop songs filled his ears, so the noise from several passengers did not disturb his peace. Yes, Nathan just wanted some peace. For some reason the noise made him not really like it now. The trees, the beach, even the skyscrapers he passed were not good enough at all. Nathan was really bored, all his thoughts just drifted away, he himself didn't know what to do now to just calm his heart. This is today where Nathan becomes a human, a normal human because he is back in college. A few days ago all he did was spend the year-end money his mother gave him to become a cool young man. Goes to bars every night, tries to drink and is force-fed until he is drunk, or even becomes the subject of sexual harassment by some of his friends. Nathan smiled wryly, in fact the nickname 'nerd' still stuck with him. Even though Nathan has done various things so that he is considered and can stand out like other friends.
"Is daydreaming your job now, bro?" a greeting managed to make Nathan turn his head. Alexa—Nathan's college friend, who is the woman Nathan wants. You could say the beautiful woman who always looks fashionable in her mini skirt is Nathan's girlfriend, the two of them often spend time together when they want to. Yes, the two of them are already that intimate.
Alexa is now sitting next to Nathan, then kisses Nathan's cheek briefly. Many say that the nerd is too lucky to get Alexa, but for Nathan to be Alexa's 'girlfriend' it seems very far away. Even though they often spend the night together, even though the two of them kiss each other and always show affection. But still, Nathan feels that Alexa is too high to reach and maybe Alexa wants to be with him just because Alexa is bored with rich young people. Although Nathan himself did not deny that he really hoped that Alexa would look at him, even though it was just a view that might be false and would not come true.
Alexa took one of Nathan's airpods, while leaning her head on Nathan's shoulder she closed her eyes. Nathan, who was still stiff, looked at Alexa in silence. All pairs of eyes standing on the bus looked at Alexa and Nathan with their strange looks. But they didn't say anything at all, in their hearts they were asking what kind of joke was this.
"Don't you feel that everyone is looking at us, Alex? It seems we have become the subject of a spectacle now," Nathan muttered. Alexa just pulled an eyebrow, her eyes were still closed and she still didn't care.
"Maybe they're jealous, because they see us so well matched," Alexa replied. Nathan smiled when he heard that, until finally the bus he was driving suddenly stopped. Everyone screamed perfectly, both Nathan and Alexa immediately took a straight position, both saw a wolf crossing at high speed and almost hit the bus that Nathan was traveling in.
"Damn! Why are there wolves here, and in broad daylight too!" cursed the bus driver. He seemed annoyed to see the wolf running and he almost hit him.
"Did you forget that last night was a red full night? It is said that if the next day we see a wild wolf like this, then one of us will meet … death."
Everyone on the bus immediately panicked, not even long after the words of a mysterious woman wearing a black hoodie, several old women on the bus screamed hysterically. They immediately scratched the windshield of the bus so that it made a very loud sound, some even happened to have their nails broken and pointed. Seeing that everything was not conducive like that, everyone who was there was scared to death, they immediately screamed in fear, got out of the bus and scattered outside.
There were only a few old women who were still screaming in terror, and with women in hoodies and … Nathan and Alexa.
Alexa was already so scared, she kept holding Nathan's hand so tightly.
"Do… we still have to be here, Nath? For God's sake everything really looks unsafe," said Alexa, but Nathan remained silent. He was completely confused by what was happening in front of his eyes.
"Is it a dream?" muttered Nathan stupidly.
"You are crazy!" annoyed with Alexa, he immediately ran and managed to make Nathan run out of the bus. Before long, a thick fog began to overwhelm the bus, then….
Darr!!
The bus exploded completely in front of their eyes, everyone there looked weak and some even screamed and then fainted. A strangest situation that seemed to clarify and make them believe that the werewolf and its curse was a very real thing.
"We have to go, Nath," said Alexa, who was reluctant to stay there, while Nathan still seemed reluctant to leave. Until finally Alexa was annoyed by Nathan's really strange attitude. "Do you still want to stand there stupidly? Don't you want to come with me and do you want to die along with all those unreasonable people?" annoyed Alexa.
Nathan finally nodded, he immediately rushed to immediately follow Alexa's steps, got into the taxi that Alexa had just stopped and then sped away. Not long after, both of them arrived at campus. Alexa had left first with a sour face, Nathan, who felt that Alexa was now a little too much, chased Alexa's steps wide.
"Can we get this straight, Alexa? For God's sake, I had absolutely no intention of making things difficult and scaring you to such an extent, you know?"
Alexa stopped her steps, her eyes looked at Nathan with an annoyed frown. Until finally, a sports car stopped right in front of them, then Alexa looked back at Nathan perfectly. The figure of a man getting out of the car approached, making Nathan look at the figure.
"Jack, did you come early in the morning?" asked Nathan. Jack is one of Nathan's best friends of course, the two of them have known since they were in high school.
"I want to pick up my lover, Nath. Why do you look surprised if I leave in the morning?" said Jack confidently, Nathan frowned. Jack's lover? Nathan had no idea who Jack's lover was. My best friend didn't really say anything. Until finally Nathan was stunned to see what was happening in front of him, an incident that broke his heart for a moment, yes, when he saw Jack and Alexa… kissing.
"W… what is this?" surprised Nathan. Alexa didn't answer anything Nathan asked, while Jack seemed to be laughing as he hit Nathan's chest.
"Why are you surprised like that, Nathan? Come on, relax a little. Isn't it natural for a friend to steal his best friend's lover? Besides, you got nothing, mate. You are stupid, you are not famous, you are not handsome, and moreover you are not rich. So, it will be a loss if Alexa is always with you. I'm just helping you to make her happy, you know,"
After saying that, Jack immediately put his arm around Alexa, the two of them immediately walked away, got into Jack's luxury car and it managed to make Nathan really annoyed. Nathan's hands clenched into fists, he lowered his face perfectly, his jaw clenched perfectly. Nathan was eager to catch up with Jack and make calculations with his best friend. But suddenly….
"If you need a friend for revenge, I can help you,"
A female voice managed to make Nathan look up perfectly. A female figure stood in front of her, a blonde haired girl with sparkling sapphire blue eyes. That figure was… the woman Nathan met in the middle of the forbidden forest that night.
"You?!"
"I'm Maria, thank you for saving me that night, Nathan," the woman replied steadfastly.
