Cora dropped her bags beside me on the ground
"I heard from your parents that you are going to your grandma's house
over the weekend.â
I uprooted some grass and threw it before me randomly "yeah" I
deadpan at her.
"What's with the face? Don't you like visiting your grandma"
"No I would love to but it's kind of far and I am going by train since my
parents are pretty busyâ
I stood up from the ground dusting off the dirt from my uniform then
sling my bag over my shoulder.
"OHHH I didn't know they could be on our campusâ
I look to where she's looking and finds Matteo laughing at something
Jay's says.
"Yeah our English teacher brought them on campus, something to do
with knowledge exchange or something. It's almost the end of school
year and she just brought for what I wonder"
Cora nodded her head in amuse "that is strange, usually every year we
do not allow any male students on our compound but interesting to
see we are accepting their helpâ
I shrugg my shoulders "come on let's go, I have to go before I miss the
train to my grandma's Pack and you have your cheer to get ready to.â
She huff "yeah I wish I could go with you but our cheer camp is this
weekend" she said walking beside me making our way to the bus.
We made it home and Cora went straight to prepare for her camp
cheer.
When it's six a car stopped in front of the house "Cora, Janice is hereâ
she quickly run down from the stairs hugging me then continue to go
"have fun" I call after her.
âWhat are you a momâ Alera says through our link and I shut her up.
I was almost done with packing when a knock was heard on the door. It
was strange cause I didn't expect any other visitor.
The last bus around here is seven and the last train to my
grandmother's Pack is 8pm.
Quickly I threw in my last clothe zipped my suitcase and pull it with me
downstairs. I left it in the doorway and went to look through the
doorbell hole and saw Gia standing outside.
"Hey"
I awkwardly wave my hand to her after opening the door. She look
behind me and saw my suitcase
"you're going somewhere today" "yeah I have to visit my grandma" the
door was still open ajar.
"Would you like to come in?" she was hesitate for a moment.
"I probably shouldn't, you have somewhere to goâ she wipes her hands
on her skirt.
I take a look back and saw my dad's first car keys hanging on the wall
near where he usually leave other keys to.
His 1969 dodge charger along with his old pickup are hanging.
An idea forms in my head and Alera warns me that my father wouldn't
approve. She also reminds me my mother last warning if I am ever to
be driving the car without a licence but I ignore her.
"It's okay I'll use my dad's car. Now come in" and so we talk for while
catching up on things and she has apologize again for her behaviour
but I told her it's all in the past.
When it's time for her to leave I saw the time it was 9:00pm
"Are you sure you can use your dad's car" I nodded my head
yup"
"you know Evan can drop you"
I cut her off "I said I am sure and beside I want to take my time.â
Gia stood there at the door folding her arms "then, what if the authority
finds you? What would you do?"
âI'll show them my teethâ and I flash her a smile.
Her jaw drops in awe "you know that they ticket us double the amount
the humans ticket their people.â
Being too sure I say "like I say I am going to show them my teethâ
she furrow "what? What's wrong with my teeth?" I ask and she nodded
her head throwing up her hands in defeat.
"Fine you and your sarcastic way but be carefulâ she hugs me and I bid
her goodbye.
I load my stuff in the car taking a breath in before starting the engine. It
has almost take another hour to decide which car to be used and I
ended up using the pickup
"it would lesser my punishment when I come back" and I drove off to
my grandmother's.
I was almost out of our territory when I hear the authority's car calling
me to pull over.
Cursing to myself I pull over with Alera sarcastically remarks through
our link "now show them your teeth and see where it takes us.â
The guard came to my window demanding "licence Ms." I grin widely
"wait right upâ
I pretend to look for it then acted to be surprised holding my chest.
"Oh my. I am sorry sir but I think I left mine at home" the shithead
didn't give me a chance.
"Ms. Please get out of the carâ
"but sir" he pull out handcuff links.
"Ms. Get out of the car"
"fine goshâ I went out and immediately he handcuffed me
âwell did your teeth save you thenâ Alera says in my head.
"Sut up" I growl but she was full on teasing me âI'm sorry but did your
teeth save youâ she laughs out loud.
The guard press me hard against the car and I didn't like the way he
close himself to me. It was like he was pressing himself together with
mine.
He turn me around and again he almost pressed his front to mine I was
to call it out when I saw another lights.
A car stops near us the guard still held my hands this time he press my
front against the pickup.
The car door opens and again I am face with the Alpha to be "Matteo"
great I thought to myself.
He sneer at the guard before looking at me and somehow I get this
weird feeling like I don't know but it's weird.
I think I am falling right now.
Don't know if it's from him or the guard not giving me a space to
breathe.
