"Hey wait" I yelled,pulling his arm, it's time I gave him a piece of my mind. "What is wrong with you, stop acting like am one obsessed girl that can't stay away from you, you don't know how much I want not to even see you..." "And yet you left your lunch just to say hello" he said letting his eyes gaze lazily at my face. "You're a dick " I said angirly. "Surprisingly, you are the only one who thinks that and don't ever pull my arm again, I assure you the next time won't be pretty" he said as walking out of the restaurant. "Now you wait one second am not done talking to you"I said running after him but, when I opened the door he was already gone. I stared at the empty street wandering how fast he did walk. " For a new student you do know how to drag attention to yourself". "What"I said realizing that the waiter hadn't left."Most girls would kill to be with any of the gang members but, you went, you went straight for the top dog"he said sitting on a table, his cap was still on. "No this... what happened is definitely not what you think " I said moving away from the door. "Okay if you say so, after all the customer is always right" he said playfully. I smiled, picking up my books I was ready to leave. "Umm.. I never got your name" he said standing up from the table. "Serena"I said with a smile. "Serena, am Colin" he said with a playfully bowing."There is a party later today to celebrate the full moon"he said cleaning his hands with a rag. "Why is there a celebration for the full moon?"I said placing my books back on the table, maybe I could stay a little longer. " You don't know" he said confused. I shook my head before sitting on a chair. "History has it that this entire land was under the protection of an old woman who had a bunch of kids she took care of I think thirteen in number. They lived in the old cottage which is in that forest over there but,it's restricted. They all had different abilities but the strongest of all was Michael. Trivis on the other hand was the wisest and was capable of harnessing all the others abilities. the old woman made Trivis leader of the gang which made Michael jealous. He revolted ranging havoc on the entire town. Trivis and they others tried to stop him but he was too powerful. They gang lost six of their members that night. At the end of the war something strange happened a full moon appeared at the center of the sky which is unusual in the region. They remaining six stood on that cliff, you may not see it clearly from here but,if you come to the party am sure you would get a good view. They people thanked them for restoring peace to the land and the six left never to be seen again. I don't know what really happened but, rumor has it that the Six were cursed never to be able to leave the town and are still in our mist till this day. Some people believe the story, some think is a myth while most believe it's a story the school told to keep students out of the forest except for today" he said getting up from the table. I wanted to know more, for some reason I felt like I had an attachment to the story. "Do you know anything about the curse, what it was,why?"I said rubbing my palms together to create warmth. "Well people said they were cursed because the had a hand in the death of the chiefs daughter at that time. She was in love with one of the gang members but equally had umm, interest in three other. She was there bane, their fall or success, she was their destiny, her death was the only way they could stop Michael. The people celebrated when ever there was a full moon to show appreciation to the remaining six and in memory of the chiefs daughter" Colin said sitting on the table next to me. " She's an asshole"I said disgusted at the thought, how can you love someone and still have feelings for others especially his friends. "I don't blame her, they were not only known for their abilities but also their beauty. They were said to be the most attractive people at that time and the girl in question was also very beautiful, some say even more beautiful than the female members of the gang". he said tossing the rag in the air. "So are you coming " he said tilting his head to get a better look at me. "After your very detailed explanation about the party, please count me out" I said laughing. "It's really fun" he said with a smile. "I think I would have to pass, I have alot of assignments I need to get done. Sorry " I said with a smile. "That's okay there is no need for an apology". "I think it's time I get going "I stood up clutching my notes in my arm. " I could walk you back if you want it's pretty late " he said looking at the window. He was right, the sun had gone down, the moon wasn't up yet so everywhere was pretty dark. "I thought you won't ask" I said with a smile.
The walk back to my hostel was really fun. We got to know alot about each other. Colin was in his final year here. He is in the science department. I didn't bother asking what he was reading because I didn't want to know. He said he loves traveling and that he really loves the serenity of Everest. We got to the hostels shortly after. "This was fun, I hope we could do it again, maybe tomorrow" Colin said with a large smile. "Sure, why not"I said walking into the building. "Tomorrow it is then" he yelled, luckily only a few girls were still outside. I smiled waving at him, before running up the stairs to my room. I shut the door and rested my back on it. A smile slowly appearing on my face. "What's so funny cupcake" Tisha said, laying on her bed with her legs crossed.
