"Someone saw Katrina," Jason said with a tired sigh.
"T-that can't be true...it was Kelly right?" Stella muttered. Her knees weakened and she took a step backwards. She nervously looked at Jason gauging his expression.
"Yes, it was Kelly. That's why I don't believe it. She might as well be trying to spite me." Jason held the railing of the rooftop as he let the cool air blow on him.
"And what if it's true, what if Katrina comes back. What will you do?" Stella blurted out the question that had been running in her mind from the beginning.
"Till she comes..." Jason said and walked out leaving Stella alone on the rooftop.
The next morning after training, Stella went to the restroom to freshen up when unintentionally heard two girls gossiping in one of the toilet stalls.
"I finally slept with Jason Patterson and you won't believe how good it felt!" She heard one of the girls squeal loudly in excitement.
"Oh my fucking god! When will Jason lay eyes on me. Just one night will do..." The other girl voiced and they both laughed.
Stella felt her chest tighten at the conversation and wanted to leave before she would get more hurt when she heard Katrina's name.
"Sad thing he kept grunting Katrina's name while fucking me. I was about telling him I wasn't Katrina till I remembered she was his runaway mate."
"Oh no, poor Stella thinks she has a chance with Jason whereas Jason can't even get over his mate. I really pity her."
Stella felt the tears that has been burning her eyes escape and she ran out of the restroom. She cleaned her tears and wore her hoodie cap to hide her red eyes.
She had always known she never had a chance with Jason but hearing the bitter truth in that manner was another stab to the heart.
She got to her dorm and did nothing but cry until she fell asleep.
"There you are!" Tiffany jumped lightly on sleeping Stella who wriggled under Tiffany's weight.
"I've been looking all over the academy for you and here you are snoring away!" Tiffany queried. She got up from Stella's body and went to sit in an empty space in the bed.
"What do you want, Tiff?" Stella grumbled, her voice still hoarse from all the crying she did.
"What do you mean what do I want? Aren't you coming for the singles night?" Tiffany asked.
"Oh..." With everything going on, Stella forgot Sha had made plans with Tiffany. "I'm not in the mood to go..."
"Hold up, you're not about to ditch me like you did the other night. A promise is a promise Stella so get your tiny ass moving," Tiffany hollered and dragged Stella out of the bed.
"You look like a complete mess," Tiffany pointed out when she saw Stella's puffy eye and big eye bags. She knew she had been crying but she didn't want to further ruin her mood by making an issue out of it so she saved it for later.
"Where is it being held, today?" Stella said as she yawned while stretching.
"The love garden in the fire department!!!" Tiffany exclaimed excitedly. She was so ready for this night.
"Let's just skip tonight and go some–"
"Shh..." Tiffany brought her index finger to Stella's lips, "best body competition is included in today's line up. I can't miss seeing all those hotties..."
"Wait until Jake hears this," Stella rolled her eyes and picked up her towel that was hanging on the door of her mini wardrobe.
"Go prepare, by the time you're done I'll be ready." Stella said.
"Promise you won't change your mind," Tiffany looked at Stella accusingly.
"I promise so get your excited ass out of my room." Stella joked and Tiffany stuck out her tongue at her before leaving.
Stella then went to her dorm's bathroom to take a shower.
After shower, Stella felt more refreshed and her mood lightened up unlike before.
She wore her usual tracksuit and a hoodie and she was all good to go.
"Don't tell me this is what you're wearing," Tiffany dramatically rolled her eyes.
"And?"
"Almost every student will be there and this..." Tiffany pointed at Stella's dressing, "...is what you're wearing?"
"Don't bother about my dressing and let's leave. Also, don't try to convince me either else I'm no longer going," Stella remained adamant.
She smiled widely and hopped to where Tiffany was, linking arms together with Tiffany, "stop worry about the way I look and let's go have some fun..."
"Not like I have a choice," Tiffany sighed deeply and her excited mode was on again. "Let's go have some fun!!" She yelled and both girls walked out of the room with excited steps.
Singles night was a night created for unmated werewolves by the students themselves. It happens once every month and is hosted by different departments in different months.
This night was one of the most awaited by the students as all sort of things were boh d to happen. Almost like a mini club just more spicier and crazier.
They got to the love garden and weren't surprised to see a crowd of students already present.
Stella looked at the revealing clothes most girls were wearing and instantly fell out of place. Even Tiffany wore a mid thigh black miniskirt and a cute white crop top that stopped just below her boobs with a knee length black boot.
The contrast between her and her friend who didn't want to let go of her hand made her wish the ground will just open up and swallow her.
"I can't see Jason anywhere..." Tiffany said as she stood on her tip toe and stretched her neck, trying to find Jason in the crowd.
Tiffany held Stella's hands tightly and struggled her way to the front of the crowd. That was when she realized the reason why students packed themselves like sardines.
It was the body competition already and everyone was fired up.
The body competition consisted of single males and females, both in different categories, showing off their body to see who has the best body for the night.
Since the fire department were the ones hosting, the participants came from the department.
"By the moon goddess, the fire department are filled with hotties," Tiffany squealed when she saw the almost naked bodies of the males.
Stella could only hide her self from the embarrassment Tiffany brought to them by making it obvious she was a simp for hot boys.
"If only I didn't have a mate Stella, I would have gotten one of them for the night," Tiffany sighed disappointedly but the flame of excitement never left her eyes.
"wait... isn't that Jason?" Tiffany directed Stella's attention to the direction her hand was pointing at.
There was Jason standing with other competitors as he revealed his amazing body.
Stella blushed when she saw Jason and tried to keep her eyes away from him but she couldn't.
Tiffany was talking but Stella couldn't hear any word of what she was saying, her attention were elsewhere.
"Stella!" Tiffany yelled at daydreaming Stella who jolted at the sound of her name.
"What?" Stella frowned and held the arm Tiffany hit. Tiffany's yell was always accompanied with violence.
"Don't tell me you didn't hear a thing of what I've been saying?" Tiffany shook her head.
"What have you been saying?" Stella asked embarrassed that Tiffany might have caught her drooling at Jason's body.
"I said, why is Jason among the participants when he is not single. He has a mate, right?"
