Chapter 7-3

I was smiling as I leaned on Bram's shoulder. I felt so relaxed here as Viktor and Alex were still playfully bickering. I guess I started to daze off because someone decided to smack me across the face. It took me a few seconds to notice that everything was blurry, and then I had to fix my glasses.

"Hey bear boy! Did you fucking hear what I fucking said?! We need to go fucking see the fucking nurse! Stop fucking daydreaming all the fucking time!" Joy yelled at me.

I looked over to Bram and I saw him counting every time she cussed. He had to use two hands because she cussed quite a bit.

"I'm getting up! No need to hit me!" I told her as she raised her hand again, and then I looked around, "where did my brother and his birdbrain go?"

"They left two minutes after you started zoning out into the tree," Bram told me.

I got up and brushed the grass off my legs, and then the three of us left the courtyard.

"I swear that my glasses won't last the school year."

"Don't worry; I'm pretty sure that there is a spell to fix them if they get broken." He told me, "Well, I better figure out where our new room is, and then get ready for my class."

"Oh yeah, you have vampire class tonight! You are so lucky that you get to start classes already!"

"Hey Fangs, let me know how Ripping People Throats Out 101 is like."

He flipped off Joy as we went our separate ways. Joy and I started to walk to the medical wing.

"Ash, why do you think she wanted to see you? I could understand if she wanted to check on Bram's eye."

"I don't know, I guess we will see when we get there." I decided to change the subject, "so, how is Anna's matchmaking working for you?"

"I rather go to fucking hell than deal with that again."

Even though she was acting like her normal rough self, I saw a small smile on her face.

"So does that mean that you're against dating this year?"

She started blushing and looked away from me.

"It's not that, I already have my eyes on someone and I don't want to ruin my friendship because of it."

"Aw! Does that mean you have a crush on me?"

I got a hard punch to the gut for that.

"No!" she leaned next to my ear. "It's Nova, and I don't want Bram to hate me because of his scar."

"You do realize that he wouldn't care about that. Even though Nova did hurt him, I know that Bram would not dare to break off the friendship we have, just for that petty thing."

"Even though I like him, I might see if I like any of the other fish in this ocean of a school more before I tell him."

"Now, where's your snarky smile at? I might start worrying that you might be an imposter soon."

"Go fuck yourself."

"There's the Joy I know!"

I got another punch to the gut for that, sadly, I was laughing too hard and walked into someone.

"Were-freak," She said as she pushed me away.

"I really need to watch where I'm going."

"Yes you do, I don't feel like getting you out of fights all the time. Though, if you get into a fight, you might get less stick-like arms."

I flipped her off as we finally got to the medical wing.
