Chapter 66 - Chapter 66 : Memory Dive (Part 5)

During class the teacher kept writing on the board while her students copied off the work. Jason who sat at the back kept writing and stealing glimpses at Amelia Griswold the new student. Amelia turned around and noticed Jason was looking at her and he quickly turned his head away. Fenrir and the other were standing at the back and his four wives kept looking at Amelia coldly. At recess Jason packed his books in his back and noticed Han and his friends walking up to Amelia.

"Hey you look pretty, wanna hang out with me?" Han suggested.

"I'm not interested."

"Come on baby, it would be really fun, what do you say?"

Han was still persistent about going on a date with Amelia but she didn't show any interest. She and Han turned around and noticed that Jason was standing there.

"What, You want to try and be a hero or something?" Han wondered in a harried tone of voice.

Jason remained silent, he wanted to say something but he was too afraid to speak. Everyone in the classroom waited for Jason to talk and ultimately he did.

"No," He whispered.

"I didn't think so! So get lost!"

Jason walked away.

"Hehe coward," Han grinned.

Amelia watched as Jason walked away. Jason went into the bathroom and locked himself in the toilet area. He was shaking with fear and crying a little.

"Why am I such a coward?" He asked himself.

Days went by and Jason kept admiring Amelia from afar but that admiration often turned Into jealousy whenever Han made his advances on Amelia. One day during recess Jason was taken to a corner of the school where he was beaten up by Han for accidentally spilling drink on his shoe.

"Clean it up!" Han demanded while holding up his foot.

Jason didn't move because the kick he got in stomach hurt badly.

"I said to clean it up!"

"That's enough!" Amelia shouted.

Han and his friends looked at her.

"You need to stop what you're doing you hooligans before I call the teachers!"

"I don't think you can."

"Try me."

Amelia kept staring at Han coldly until he gave up on Jason then walked away.

"Come on guys let's go."

After Han left Amelia walked over to Jason. She reached out her hand with a smile on her face.

"Don't worry they won't hurt you anymore," She reassured.

At that moment Jason fell in love with her. Later that night while he was in bed he couldn't stop thinking about her. Her long blond hair, her red eyes and her beautiful smile kept flashing over and over in his mind. Jason got up during the night, went to his desk and started writing something.

"What is he writing?" Pressila wondered.

"It seems to be a love letter," Eve pondered.

They all stood over him looking at the love letter Jason was writing.

"Hair as golden as the sun, eyes that are red as freshly bloomed roses. As I lay in my bed you're the only thing I can think of, thanks to you I found that there is such a thing as love at first sight awww."

Mero seemed touched by the little sentence Jason wrote.

"I didn't know Husband had such a way with words," Lelania said.

"He doesn't, that's corny," Fenrir murmured.

The next day Amelia sat at her desk and noticed the love letter sitting on top of her books. She opened it and silently read it to herself, after reading it she kept blushing. Jason on the other hand was even more embarrassed because he was the one who wrote it.

'I hope she likes it.. But what if she doesn't, what do I do?' He thought to himself and he kept thinking about it until after class.

He went to the bathroom for a moment and when he returned he went back to his desk. He noticed something pink inside his back and when he took it out it was a pink envelope. Jason opened the envelope and noticed a letter inside.

[Meet me on the roof]

The letter said.

Jason went on the roof like the letter asks and when he got there Amelia was there waiting for him. Jason stopped and looked at her in adoration, he could feel his heart racing. Jason clenched his fist, found his courage and approached Amelia. The two stood across from each other silently staring into each others eyes

"I read your letter, I think it was kinda sweet," Amelia expressed.

"I'm sorry I spring that on you, it's just when I saw you I thought you were kinda pretty."

"This isn't our first time meeting you know."

"It's not."

"Yeah, we met back in prep school, we met at the maths competition on July 7th remember."

"July 7th, I remember, you had you'd hair braided back then "

"Yeah I do, you were kinda handsome yourself,.and you're very smart also."

"Thank you, it means a lot...So are you seeing anyone?" Jason asked in a shy tone of voice.

"No."

"That's good.. I don't mean it that way, I just thought you were pretty and it would be awkward writing a letter to you," Jason said

He went silent for a while before he started talking again.

"Amelia, will you please go on a date with me!" He shouted.

Amelia was surprised by his sudden boldness as she looked at him. Jason closed his eyes and kept shaking. He was blushing while also feeling embarrassed, it was like he was waiting to be rejected.

"Ugh okay," Amelia said.

Jason looked at Amelia as she was blushing as well. He was surprised that she accepted to go on a date with him. Later that night as he sat at the dinner table he kept smiling and staring into space.

"What's the matter dweeb, found what you're looking for in outer space?" Stephania asked.

"I'm fine, Mom, may I be excused?"

"Sure, go ahead."

After Jason left his mother kept smiling just like he did.

"Now what's gotten into you Mom?" Stephania wondered.

"Isn't that obvious, your brother found a new girlfriend."

Hearing that Stephania spat out juice. "*Cough*my nerdish kid brother finding a girlfriend, are you for real Mom? Are pigs modelling somewhere?

"It can happen, I know it."

"You do?"

"Yes, call it mother's intuition."

After that the two started dating and would go out to have fun together. At school they would eat lunch and would often walk home together. Hans on the other hand was furious with jealousy but due to Amelia's connection he couldn't touch her. Fenrir and the others watched Jason's smiling face as he would walk around with Amelia.

"Look at that idiot smiling."

Fenrir started to feel jealous as well.

"They look so happy, but that doesn't explain why Lucifer became a monster," Rosario asked.

"If you want to know the truth then let's fast forward a bit, this is to give light on what happened and how the master changed to the person who you now know as Lucifer."

Blossom raised her hand and fast-forwarded it a bit.
