Chapter Twelve

“Okay, so let me get this straight. Jack has a secret hot brother, who apparently is a Warlock, but also doubles as our English teacher now too? Wow… How did I not know this? That’s all kinds of messed up, hon. I freaking wish I was there to witness it all go down.”

I kicked my feet upon the couch in my living room, trying to get comfortable. But every time I moved, hell, every time I managed to breathe, my body threatened to burst. Despite my bitter mood though, I had to admit that being home alone without the step-douche around to harass me, was definitely something I could get used to.

“Yeppers. That’s not even the beginning! You definitely will not believe what else happened.” I let the gossip shoot, like one of those little old ladies getting her hair done at Louisa’s one and only salon. I wasn’t ashamed to admit that I liked to let it fly every now and then, I’m seventeen! My mouth didn’t filter very well…

I started with the nasty head ache, brought on by that supposed spell gone wrong of Adrian’s, ending with the healing thing done by Jack, but forgoing our kiss altogether. For some reason, that little piece of info was not something I wanted to share yet. Hell, I still didn’t even know what to call it myself! And the more I thought about making that move, kissing him like I had, the more I began to regret it. I mean I shouldn’t regret something that felt so right, but he was…one of them, one of those soon-to-be animals with the hairy feet and the sharp teeth.

“So he like, touched you and the bump went away then?” Kelsey cleared her throat, “Emmy…that sounds kind of witchy-like.”

“Witchy?” My brows pulled together in confusion as I bit the inside of my cheek. “Well yeah, I…guess so…” I shrugged, slipping my fingers through the fringe on our couch pillow.

I wasn’t entirely sold on the whole my best friends a witch thing yet. We’d been friends for so long, and I was terrified that this supernatural crap was going to change us, change the friendship we’d worked our asses off for, for over ten years. I knew she couldn’t help what she was, but I was bitter, angry that I hadn’t known about it until now.

“Yeah witchy…as in witch powers? Seriously Em, you’re totally not listening to me at all, are you? What’s your problem anyway?”

The moodiness was apparently a duel issue between us tonight. Blame it on my rotten day, blame it on my bad mood, or blame it on life itself, I was sort of over it all, and ready for this day to be done with.

“Never mind, forget about it Kelsey, I’ve got to go.”

“Wait, Emmy, I’m sorry. I…I’ve had a bad day too ya know? My stomach won’t stop cramping, and my mom keeps shoving chicken broth down my throat.”

I snickered. It was good to know she was seeing and experiencing her mother’s wrath for once instead of only me.
