Kiss You.

Pov. Izzy

It's a new day.

With novelty.

Sarah came back.

We watched Travis and Meghan get stamped by the skunks Sarah put in their cars, then we went to my house to meet the rest of the guys, but not everyone was there. Valentina just disappeared, she didn't show up at the end of the day or at night, her car wasn't parked in front of her house as usual and I sent several messages and even called three times, but she didn't answer or answer. So now I'm sitting here on the porch with a mug of hot chocolate, a thermos of coffee and the empty cup beside me waiting for the girl to show up. Obviously, I've been waiting for about half an hour and enjoying the sunrise. I take a deep breath trying to control my lack of patience along with anxiety, because I expected to find Valentina at least at night, I waited for her for a long time, but she didn't show up, so when it was midnight I decided to sleep, but unfortunately I woke up four and half, took a shower and when I looked out the bedroom window and saw that her car wasn't there, I decided to make her coffee and hot chocolate for myself.

Valentina is very obsessed with coffee.

Coffee is her first drink of the day and it should probably be her last.

This is something I noticed during two weeks in her company.

I sigh and pick up my phone, I look at the time and see that it's twenty past five, I think about going in and having breakfast but I can't get up, I want to be here when she arrives and for some reason I feel like I'm going to explode with rage if she does. not show up. I hear a noise behind me and it doesn't take long for Nick to appear all sweaty and red in the face.

- Wow, who slapped you and even threw water while you slept? - I ask and he smiles.

- I don't know, but when I find out I'll have to stop being peaceful. - he replies amused and then looks at the house next door. - Did you get up early to wait for your beloved ? - he asks and I roll my eyes.

- No and no, I just woke up early and decided to stay here watching the sun rise. - I answer and he gives me a look of pure debauchery. - Okay, I really woke up early by chance, but being here is really waiting for her. - I admit and he smiles convinced.

- I think I already won the bet. - He says excitedly and I bite his shoulder. - That hurts you know? - He asks and I shrug.

- It wasn't me, so it doesn't hurt. - I answer taking some hot chocolate and he bumps his shoulder on mine making me spit out the drink.

He bursts out laughing as I look at him seriously, I don't like to waste it, but I deserved it so I'll keep quiet. I look forward and see Johnny riding his bike, strange that the boy is up so early.

- Good morning, Nikita and Belita. - He says excitedly and I smile at him.

- Good morning, Johnny. - I say and he stops in front of our sidewalk and then runs towards us.

- Hi sticker loser. - says my brother and the boy gives him a death glare.

- Obviously, you steal. - accuses Johnny and Nick laughs.

- You're a bad loser. - he says, affronting a seven-year-old child.

- Enough, let's settle this in a battle to the death. - Johnny says seriously and I hold back the urge to laugh.

- Are you sure about that, because I'm not going to die today. - Nick says looking at the boy. - More you go! - He exclaims and then picks up the boy and puts him on his shoulders and runs with him down the street.

I smile seeing Johnny blushing with laughter and my brother was no different, it makes me think that he will probably be the first to get married and have children as he loves children, my brother seems to have something in his genetics that draws children's attention , maybe it's because he's pretty goofy most of the time, or maybe it's just Nick's pure heart.

Probably all options.

I see Nick put Johnny down and talk to him about taking him to the next costume festival in town park and I shake my head thinking that he's probably going to dress up as some supernatural movie character and make the kid go with him. I see the two whispering something about making me go too and I roll my eyes, I look at the house next door and take a deep breath getting up, I see Rebeca and Johnny's mother approach and she smiles waving at me.

- Izzy, long time no see. - she says and I smile.

- I have been studying a lot. I say and she nods.

- I understand, but I'm glad to see you like this again. - she says and I get confused.

- Like this ? - I ask and she smiles.

- With a lighter and happier countenance, you are radiant. - She answers and I get embarrassed.

- Mom, can I go to the next costume festival with Nikita? - asks Johnny and his nods.

- Of course, but it won't be until five months from now. - she answers and he vibrates.

- Yes, but I asked now because if I do any mischief on the day of the festival, you won't be able to stop me from going, because I asked a long time ago and you left and remember that you can't take back what you say. says Johnny and Nick and I can't contain our laughter.

- I think I'll have to break the television in your room and the tablet. - Rebeca says seriously making us laugh even more. - Come on, you have class right now. - calls the boy and he waves to us together with his mother and then they take the bike and leave.

I see that Nick is still chuckling and I shake my head, taking the thermos and cup, because the mug I was already holding.

- You were the one who taught him that, right? - I question and my brother pretends to be sleepy.

- I have no idea what you're talking about. - Answers all cynic and then goes inside.

It fools me that I like Nicholas Lavely.

There, there.

I look at the house next door one last time before heading inside to get dressed and face the school and the idiots who study there.

At least I will have two people by my side.

Valentina and Sarah.

Two important people.

# At School...

I drag myself down the hall to the closets feeling a little despondent, I'm feeling like today won't be my day. I reach my locker and open it to get the materials needed for biology class, as soon as I grab everything I hear Sarah's voice and turn to see her approaching me humming a song I've never heard.

- Bienvenida de vuelta hermanita. - digo e ela sorrir.

- Yo soy la chica que te enseña a ser mala. - sings dancing in a weird way. - Sing with me Izzy. - asks for blistering. - If you turn your back, I'll shove my finger in your pocket. - sings showing the back pocket of his pants. - Now sing in Spanish with me. Si me das la espalda pongo mi dedo en tu bolsillo. - complete and I deny laughing.

- Bienvenida de vuelta hermanita. - I say and she smiles.

- Muchas gracias, pero yo sé que soy la mejor. - she says convinced and I roll my eyes. - Not even for your eye to lock and you to be cross-eyed to learn never to roll your eyes at me again. - she says and I shake my head.

Always with loving thoughts.

Sarah Miller is really back.

- Look at Travis. - I hear a strange voice and Sarah and I look in the direction of the sound.

- How cute the murderer and the city delinquent together again. says Travis and I take a deep breath. - Why did you come back? Did prison for psychopaths kick you? - He asks mockingly and Sarah laughs.

- No, actually I got tired of it there, it was too quiet for me and I'm the type who likes to see the circus on fire, even more so when I'm the arsonist. - he answers looking at the boy. - So if you don't want to be without your school clown job, you better stay away from us or you'll have the same end as your best friend. - full serious and Travis grits his teeth annoyed.

- I'm not Carter's asshole, I kill you bitch. - he says and Sarah laughs in a kind of haunting way.

- Of course, you're just the hatchet that you were and you're still in love with him, that's why it hurts so much to see us, right, we ruined your little world of stupid fantasies with that sick man. - she says sarcastically and he pushes her against the closet.

- Get away from her. - I ask entering in front of Sarah who laughed and was ready to annoy the boy even more, but I don't let him. - Enough Sarah, let's go to class. - I say taking her hand to pull her away from there, but Travis holds my arm tightly and doesn't let me go.

- You two aren't going anywhere. - He says and I look at his hand squeezing my arm and get ready to kick every man in the weak spot.

But I don't know how Valentina appeared behind Travis and put her hand on her shoulder making him turn his face towards her.

-If you don't want me to dislocate her shoulder, you'd better let go of her arm and never come near her again. - she says and his tone exuded irritation and his eyes had an angry gleam.

I'm confused wondering when she got here and how, or if she was hiding listening to everything. I hear Sarah whisper something along the lines of "this one is dead" and it makes me even more confused.

Why did she say that?

She doesn't even know Valentina.

- Look, the savior of the homeland again, you don't get tired of being nosy, don't you? - asks Travis irritated without letting go of my arm. - Is she your girlfriend by any chance? - scoffs and Valentina makes a movement so fast that I can barely understand what she did.

She did something, like some sort of grappling blow that dislocated Travis' shoulder making him scream.

- You crazy. - she screams whimpering in pain and I look amazed at Valentina, but she doesn't even look at me just grabs Travis by the collar of his shirt and literally throws him against the cabinets on the other side.

The boy who was with Travis tries to go for Valentina, but she knocks him down with just one sweep and then stomps on his chest.

- I hate people of your ilk, people who support bullies deserve a very severe punishment, so I'll think which of your bones I'm going to break while I punish your friend. -she says and then steps on her private parts and then goes to Travis.

- Please don't do that, I won't get close to her anymore, I'll do what you asked me to do. - he says and Valentina puts her foot on his dislocated shoulder and he cries.

- You and I both know you won't leave her alone. - she says and he denies it.

- I will, I swear. She says and looks at me. - Help me. - asks and it sounds like a pop in my mind that reminds me of the night that messed up my life.

* Flashback On

My head was throbbing, my vision was blurred, my body was limp and everything around me seemed to be spinning. I see a blur of Carter approach laughing with something sharp in his hand, I close my eyes and hear Sarah's voice screaming something and when I open my eyes again Sarah is covered in blood and dirt carrying me through the graveyard and crying hard.

- Sa-a-rah? - I call feeling my tongue curl.

- No matter what happens, don't look at your body. - he asks and I do the exact opposite.

I see my body covered in blood and I was probably having a very strong delirium, because I was seeing my horn open in the middle like a pig opens. I could see some of my organs and that was enough to give me the strength to speak.

- Help me. - I ask Sarah who was crying.

The blood was mine.

I was open like a pig in the slaughterhouse.

I was dying.

Flashback Off *

I wake from the trance when I hear Travis scream and when I see the blood coming out of his nose I feel my heart speed up, I run to Valentina and step in front of the boy.

- Stop Valentina. - I ask feeling my eyes burn and she looks at me for the first time since she appeared. - Please, for me. - I ask again and she sighs.

- Okay. - she says walking away.

I hear footsteps in the hallway and see Mrs. Ritter approaching in amazement.

- What the hell happened here? - Asks and Valentina rolls her eyes.

- I did the work that should be yours, taking care of students and fighting bullying, but my method is not lazy and I usually use force when words are no longer enough. -she answers with sarcasm and irritation present in her tone of voice.

- How dare you talk to me like that you brat, you go to the board now and I will make sure you get expelled. -she says approaching Valentina who moves away from her.

- Do not touch me. - she says furiously. - You don't need to accompany me, your company is insignificant and unnecessary as well as your work in this school. -she continues and then walks away.

- You two take the boys to the infirmary, I'll demand the expulsion of this petulant. - she says and then walks away.

- It looks like I'm going to take these bastards to the infirmary. - Sarah says approaching Travis' friend and then slaps him on the face to wake him up and when he wakes up she laughs. - Go take your trading partner to the infirmary. - She says and then looks at me. - Let's help your angry cat. -she says and walks away and I follow.

I'm shocked.

I didn't know that Valentina was that strong and not at all peaceful, as I could know, after all she always interfered only with words never using force, although she was possessed with rage that Travis didn't let go of my arm, could this be some trauma about their mothers or someone close or even herself.

And what a haunting memory was that?

I think it was pure delirium, I was nervous to see Valentina like that and I ended up creating things in my head, a false memory, okay I don't remember very well about that night, but I remember waking up in my entire house the next day and without any scratches.

So it could only have been my imagination creating things.

After all Sarah told me everything that happened in detail and it was nothing like I saw in this open-eyed delirium.

# In The Afternoon...

I'm too agonized to get home soon, after what happened in the hallway and Mrs. Ritter went with Valentina to the principal's office, Sarah and I followed, but the witch wouldn't let us in, so we stayed outside waiting for the girl to come out. , but when that happened she walked right past me and Sarah without even looking at us. I asked Principal Jackson if I could explain what happened but she said it wouldn't be necessary so I started begging her not to kick the girl out which made her laugh out loud before telling me that Valentina had only been suspended for three days and that she would have to deal with the legal consequences if Travis or her parents wanted to report her for assault, which would earn her a community service or donation of basic Fridays to institutions. This made me a little, hardly relieved, as I still need to know how she is. As soon as Nick stops the car, I open the door and walk out towards the house next door, my brother doesn't even say anything, because he already knew what had happened, the gossip spread quickly through the school. I take a deep breath before ringing the intercom and when I do I get no answer, I press again and nothing, when I go to press the third the door opens revealing Fergus with a not-so-good face.

- Is Valentina there? - I ask and he stares at me for a few seconds.

- She went out with that stupid wolf. - He responds a little arrogantly.

- Okay, thank you. - I say turning my back to him and I see Klaus approach and growl towards the man.

I don't turn around, I just call my wolf to accompany me towards the forest where she would probably be with her animal. As soon as I enter the forest Klaus gets in front of me and growls at the wind making me confused and at some point after we've been walking for about ten minutes he stops walking and sits down.

- Let's go lazy, we have to find Valentina. - I say as if he understands something and in response he lies down and closes his eyes making me irritated. - Okay, I'll continue alone. - I say and he gets up growling.

- You shouldn't be walking alone in the forest. - I hear a thick voice and I turn to see a strange man I've never seen here before.

- I- I... - I can't speak and he laughs, a strange laugh.

- She's not alone. - I hear Valentina's voice behind me and I turn to see her approach with Griffin beside her, she looks at Klaus and caresses his head. - Thanks for the warning, friend. - she says and I get confused.

- In that case, I must not offer my help. - says the man with a weird look staring at Valentina.

Looks like a freaky psychopath from a movie.

Probably he is.

- No, keep it to yourself, because you'll need it. - Says the girl staring back at him and the man smiles even more and then leaves walking in the opposite direction to us. - Why are you here ? - Valentina asks seriously and I cross my arms.

- You invented to disappear, I had to come after you and honestly I don't even know why. - I reply annoyed with his manner.

- Come, let's get out of here, it's getting dark. - she says looking up and I do the same. - Here, it will be very cold here in five minutes. - she says giving me his jacket leaving only the gray sweatshirt.

- Give me your sweatshirt, jacket is more like you. - I say and she rolls her eyes taking off her sweatshirt, leaving only her bra and I can't control my eyes that focused on her well-packed abdomen, but not in an exaggerated way.

She had a scar on her right side that started near her belly button and seemed to go all the way to her back, probably the one she didn't want me to see so she wouldn't have to tell her about how she got it. She hands me the sweatshirt and takes the jacket and puts it on and I end up looking at her mid breasts covered by the black cloth and when she looks at me I turn my face away and put on the sweatshirt to hide my nervousness.

- Looking is not a sin, you don't have to be nervous. - she says walking and I follow her.

- I'm not nervous. - I lie and she laughs.

- Of course not. - she says and I feel like she's having fun with it.

- I didn't know you were the last cookie in the package of sin for me to be nervous to see you without a shirt. - I scoff and she shrugs.

- I'm more like the daughter of the guy who instigates sin. - she scoffs and I make a face.

- So you are the daughter of the devil. - I say and smile. - I think that was proven earlier. - complete and she stops walking and looks at me.

- I'm sorry about that, I shouldn't have gone that far. - she says seriously, but her tone made it seem like she was saying the last part to herself.

- I should apologize for you always having to intervene in my... Fights? - I say confused and she smiles.

- You would easily finish him, you just need to learn to break some bones. - She says making me laugh.

- I already have my personal heroine, Lois Lane has Superman and I have you, but you are real. - I say amused and she gets thoughtful.

- In that case, you should thank your particular heroine. - She says and I shrug.

- Maybe, it will depend on the type of thanks you want. - I say and she makes a thoughtful face.

Here comes shit.

I'm feeling.

- Lois Lane kisses Superman, so I think you should kiss me too so you don't spoil our superhero story. - She says and I smile.

- Of course, you deserve it. - I say and she approaches me.

- What are you going to get up to? - suspicious question.

- Nothing, I'll just kiss you. - I answer and she pulls me close, almost gluing her body to mine.

- Who's going to kiss doesn't talk too much, just kisses. - she says and I swallow hard when her eyes shift their attention from my eyes to my mouth.

In an act of pure nervousness and fear, I go along with my initial idea and bite her cheek causing her to let go of me and I run away laughing when I hear her scream my name.

- ISABELLE ! - she shouts and then laughs. - REALLY RUN, BECAUSE WHEN I CATCH YOU YOU'LL REPENT FOR PLAYING THE DOG. - she keeps screaming while I keep laughing and running away from her.

And now I wonder.

Was she really going to kiss me?

Of course not.

After all, that would be almost the same as saying that I have a chance of winning the bet.

Holy mess.

She really is the daughter of the devil, she messes up any human being's head.
