After Mimi informed me that it was Charles the author of the short story, I was more than furious. How could he, my own brother, tell Edmond that I was dead. When classes were over, it was lunch, a great time to go kick my idiotic brother's ass.
I broke into the cafeteria. I noticed that everyone was looking at me but for now, I didn't care. I spotted Charles near one of the tables with my brothers and their comrades. When I got there, I immediately grabbed Charles's ear and started walking with him as he shouted at me to let go of his ear.
I dragged him outside, let go of his ear and slapped him. "Why the fuck, Belle?Why did you do that? ", he shouted at me. "Why did you tell Edmond that I was dead, and why did you lie to me? ",I yelled at him as I felt the anger bubbling in me.
When I said these words, he calmed down, he looked away and I could see regret in his eyes. "I'm sorry, Belle. I was so angry with him for rejecting you that when he called thinking he always had the right to talk to you, it made me even more angry and I knew that if I had said no, he would have come to the castle, but you needed time, and... uh... I know I made a mistake and I regret it, but I was just trying to watch over you!", he said as he began to cry.
After listening to what he said, I understood that he had done what he had to do and that I could forgive him, but that didn't mean that I wasn't always angry with him.
"Just answer this question, Charles.What would you have done if Edmond had hurt himself?" He didn't answer, and I knew he couldn't. I hugged him and told him that I was forgiving him but that he was not out of trouble and that he had to go and apologize to Edmond.
After the bell rang, I grumbled in my head realizing that I hadn't even had time to eat.I started moving towards the advanced English course. When I walked through the door, I was wrapped in a bear hug.Once released, I saw who it was.
It was Dominique. I screamed, and I hugged him again.
"I missed you Domi! "I told him, hugging him again. "I missed you Belle! ", he said. "Well, I hope you missed me too, Belle?", I heard a girl ask. I looked over Dominique's shoulder to see Chloé. "Of course I missed you! "I shouted while freeing Dominique and running towards her to give her a huge hug.
Then, I remembered that Dominique said he had a surprise for me.With that, I turned to him: "So, where is the big surprise, Domi?" He started smiling like a real idiot. He approached Chloé, they held hands and looked at each other with so much passion and love.
I suddenly understood the message. "Oh, my God, you're going out together, right? "I shouted. I knew they were both eager to find their partners and they were making a perfect match." I'm so happy for you guys! I screamed as I hugged them again.
After the big surprise, we sat at a table and made up for lost time. I told them about Charles with Edmond, how I was going to forgive Edmond, and blah blah blah... They also met Bernard and Jospin, because they also participated in this course.
I didn't tell them the story of the Goddess of the Moon because I couldn't tell them about it right away, but I will certainly tell them. After the end of the class, I went to my locker to pick up the books of my next classes, after I went to an advanced mathematics class. It was one of the classes I didn't have with my friends, which was lame.
When I entered class, I immediately knew that there was someone in the room that I didn't hate:Edmond. He was looking at his notebook, but his head instantly rose when I entered the classroom. We looked at each other and it was as if there were only him and me in the room, but I was brought back to reality when the teacher called my name.
"Aah... Miss Johnson, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. I have heard other teachers say that you are really intelligent. Welcome to advanced mathematics classes. I must warn you that it will not be easy. There is a free seat next to Mr. de la Combe there and he will be your partner when we have homework in pairs," said the professor. Then, he asked Edmond: "Mr. de la Combe, I hope you don't mind, do you?" Edmond just shook his head as if his words would challenge him. The teacher then told me to go sit down.
Once I sat down, I looked straight ahead, frightened by Edmond's gaze. I could feel his eyes fixed on the side of my head. While the teacher was starting to speak, I couldn't pay attention, and suddenly I felt a warm breath against my ear. "I missed you Belle, and I'm sorry I was a jerk, and..."
I knew that if I stayed there without doing anything, he would continue to ramble, so I pressed my finger against his lips. "It's okay Edmond, I already forgave you after hearing how you changed after I left and how you regretted it. You can thank Domi for that. I may have forgiven you, but it's not like I'm going to rush into your arms. I want you to prove yourself in front of me and finally, I'm sorry that Charles told you that I was dead, I don't know what I would have done if you had hurt yourself," I said on the verge of tears.
I looked at him and saw happiness and wonder pass through his eyes and a smile that went up to his eyes. "First of all Belle, thank you for forgiving me, even if I don't deserve it and I will do everything in my power to prove to you that I have changed for the better and as for your brother, I don't blame him. I will do the same if I put myself in his place." He said all this and it warmed my heart.
Throughout the course, we just discussed how our lives had been during the year. I don't even know how, but we ended up holding hands towards the end.
When the bell rang, Edmond asked me what my last class was and I told him the EPS. See how funny it was; he also had EPS. When we arrived at the locker rooms, we took different paths.
I entered the girls' locker room and was struck by so many smells. I was about to go change when I was pushed between two lockers. I looked to see who it was. It was Veronica, the biggest slut in the pack and school, to say the least.
She had, of course, bleached blond hair and her face was covered with makeup. She had her little group of barbie behind her while smiling at me. "Here, here, here, look at what we have here girls. It's the ugly little slut who died and came back to life. If only you had remained dead! ", she made fun of me, while the idiots behind her laughed.
"Nice to see you again bitch, oops! I mean, Veronica. Let me guess, during my absence, did you have a new STD or do you still have the same?" I said with a mocking smile as it turned into a grimace.
"Listen to me, bitch, don't approach Edmond. He belongs to me, not to you.Even if you guys are fated mates,he will be mine" Did she understand that I am his companion and not her?" I asked myself.
"Believe what you want, bitch," I said, still smiling. I could swear that there was smoke coming out of his ears.
"You think you're so superior and powerful, well I have news for you, bitch. You're not the fucking Goddess of the Moon! ", she said. After hearing that, I burst out laughing. If only she knew.
She would most likely be afraid.While I was laughing, I noticed that she was even more angry. She was about to hit me when I grabbed her hand to push her back and gave her a circular kick on the temple, but not enough to knock her out, just to prevent her from trying to hit me again. She fell to the ground and started sobbing. I felt a little sorry for her, but just a little. "I suggest you don't try that, okay? Good!" I said, then I left to change.
When I finished changing, I went to the gym. The gym clothes were so salacious. It was a very tight shirt and tight shorts.
Seriously, I hate dressing like that. When I entered the gym, there were mostly guys because all the girls were cooling off, as they said.
I spotted Mireille, Jospin and Charlesnear the bleachers. I also spotted Calyxte .I began to make my way to get there while noticing the looks full of desire that most guys threw at me. One of them even dared to touch my ass. Oh, no!Nobody touches my ass! I could see from the corner of my eye that Edmond was looking at the boy, who was also human, trembling.That's when I knew he was about to transform.
I also felt someone staring at me, it was Calixte.
I turned around and faced the boy. He had a disgusting seductive smile on his face. He had jet black hair, forest green eyes and a perfect physique, but he was not my type and in addition, he was an asshole.
"Did you like touching my ass, baby? ", I asked with my best seductive look. I approached him and I put my hands on his chest.While he smiled smiled and looked at me,
"I liked it a lot and I must say that it's really beautiful," he whispered in my ear, but most people could hear it and he knew it." And what if we got out of here and were going to have fun?" He asked me, thinking I was an easy girl, but there was no way it would happen.
"Seriously? But you're not going to deflate after that for a while" I strongly said so that everyone could hear. He gave me a confused look and before he could answer, I kicked him in the crotch, grabbed his hand and turned it over before nailing him to the ground.
"Is there anyone else who wants to touch my ass? ", I yelled at all the guys when I got up. They all shook their heads.
I was relieved to see that Edmond had calmed down, which was a good thing. We didn't need to be exposed because of that, even if I could just hypnotize, but it would reveal my powers and we didn't need this scandal at that moment.
After EPS, I went home because I had a lot of homework. I finished them around eight o'clock, I had dinner with the family, we talked and I went to bed. I curled up in my bed, but before I fell into a deep sleep, I heard a scream. It was a howl filled with happiness and excitement. For some strange reason, I knew it was Edmond.
