It had been a day since the La Coasta and witches returned from the Dread Basin. It was then they realized the commotion from their previous battle with other students spread throughout the school.
Fred, their teacher, had been the praise of the dean and other teachers. He was on cloud 9 with the flattery coming from his co-staff. While Betty could barely leave the staff room. Her previous haughty behavior had gone down the drain since two of her best students couldn't last a second from Annette's brutal assault.
"The school had decided to send the four older students to this year's competition." Dean Davis said with a light smile.
The teachers were surprised by the school's decision. Those four had an overbearing power that was way beyond normal students. Previously, everyone didn't care about them since they couldn't discover their bloodline. But after the trashing of the best student from the elite class, it forces everyone to change their opinion.
These four are not like normal students and can't reason with common sense.
"Since we need 7 participants in the competition. The 2 best students from the elite class while the last student would be selected from the other classes." Dean Davies continued.
"Also, these seven would be allowed to use school resources during this month's train while each teacher must monitor their students."
Fred sauntered out of the meeting with a smile on his face. He had the highest representative in this year's competition and the school had already set their eyes on him.
'If these freaks could outshine the students in the competition. Then, my rise is assured.' He thought as he skipped toward the training hall.
However, to his disappointment, he discovered the four students he had been hoping to find were nowhere to be found.
"I thought they had returned from their hunting. Why are they not training? It is quite unusual for them." He murmured as he left the training hall absentmindedly.
Meanwhile, four young people sat under a tall tree with long branches and broad leaves. They relaxed as the gentle breeze blew to their faces.
Both Kelsi and Tania had recovered from their injuries. As a vampire, their strong vitality made their recovery speed inhuman. All they needed was human blood and which they did not lack.
Sitting between two ladies, La Coasta had a cold beauty with a flush face sitting on his lap. The lady tried to hide her shyness but her flush ears gave her away. It was Tania.
The life and death situation had made the bond between the four stronger while their feeling for each other couldn't be hidden any longer. Moreover, if they tried to hide their feeling from La Coasta's seamless behavior, he would tease them to no end.
"Are you not comfortable sitting on my lap?" He whispered.
Tania ignored him and looked into the distance as her heart raced, wanting to jump out of her chest.
'Why is my heart racing? It's not like I've never sat on a man's lap before.' She shouted in her heart. Also, she couldn't sleep without thinking of him.
You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dream.
"How can she not be comfortable? Our friend is just too shy to speak." Annette teased.
'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',
Hearing this, a slight chuckle escaped from La Coasta's mouth while Kelsi was trying to stiffen her laugh. Tania gave Annette a cold glare before she avert her gaze and rested her body on his chest.
"I love sitting on your lap. Not your lap alone, I love being with you." She whispered.
Although her voice was barely audible, the three could hear it loud and clear. Kelsi and Annette were stunned. They didn't expect their cold friend would confess her feelings.
It was not only them that were stupefied. La Coasta couldn't believe his ear. After a couple of seconds, he recovered from his initial shock and looked straight into her eyes as she wrapped his arm around her succulent waist.
"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that whim I fall asleep your eyes close" He responded in a mesmerizing voice.
His short raspy voice made Tania's eyes glow and a gorgeous smile appeared on her beautiful cherry lips. She wrapped her around his neck and gave him a heartfelt kiss.
This was a kiss full of passion and they were conveying their feelings to each other. The kiss was short and sweet.
There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment. The condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
Meanwhile, Annette couldn't contain her happiness and envy. She wished she was in Tania's position and received those sweet words. She opened her mouth to speak but the word failed to come out as her heart was thumping vehemently.
As if he knew what was going on in the mind of the other two ladies. La Coasta whispered.
"Tania, can you let Annette use my lap for a moment." He stuck his tongue into her ear, tickling as her body trembled.
She giggled and nodded. She stood from his lap and stretched out her hand to Annette. Annette took her hand and came forward. Although, she used to tease men and behave unrestrainedly. Alas, it was all a facade. She knew nothing between a man and a woman.
She sat on La Coasta's lap with her body trembling a little. Seeing this, Tania giggled. She realized all of them were in the same boat. Nevertheless, she won't let go of the chance to tease her.
"Oh, who could believe the mighty seductress would be nervous when sitting on a man's leg?"
A bashful smile appeared on Annette's as she didn't know how to refute her claim. With no choice, she hid her face inside his chest.
"My Annette is a shy lady…" La Coasta chuckled as he rubbed her long hair. "How did I deserve this….?" his voice trailed as stared directly into her eyes.
"I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved you with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough."
Hearing this, the ladies were awed and their hearts missed a beat. The heartfelt words pluck a string in their heart and their gaze toward him changed. The bond bonding them was getting stronger by the minute. And not to be outdone by him. Annette took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and opened it slowly.
"I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout in the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been to return to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you." With this, she wrapped her arm around his neck and gave him a plethora kiss.
"That's beautiful but I think that kiss is enough?" Tania giggled with her full smile that could illuminate the world.
"Y-Yes" Annette chucked as she averted her gaze from Tania and looked at Kelsi. She stretched out her hand and drew her closer.
'ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(ov)elBin',
Of the three ladies, Kelsi was hard to predict. She has almost everything in control. She was a control freak. Yet, she hesitated a moment before she sat on his lap, covering her face.
"I've never seen you like this before?" La Coasta said as a matter of fact.
Hmm. Hmm. Both Tania and Annette nodded as they never saw the control freak not able to control her emotion. She was frank and direct about everything but now. She was covering her face.
"If you don't feel anything for me…. You don't need to pretend." He whispered.
Hearing this, Kelsi removed her palm from her face and looked him straight in the eyes.
"You should know how I feel about you. And how the others feel about you. We're not kids not to know what we want…. But…" She blurted with her face reddened.
But what?
They looked at her, waiting for her to continue. 'This is so embarrassing.' She shouted in her mind.
"I-I don't know what to say." She said with all her strength and averted her gaze, waiting.
Hahaha
La Coasta and the others burst into a hysterical laugh as they looked at the shy Kelsi, covering her face with her palm. It came out of the blue for the control freak not to have something to say.
"Look at me…." His voice contained an enchanting power that forced her to lower her hand and look directly into his eyes while she held her breath, and her heart was racing.
"You don't need to tell me anything. Since I know you love me. That's enough" he said and soothed her hair. "But If I had a flower for every time I thought of you…I could walk through the garden forever."
Hearing this, her heart missed a beast as she pounced on him and gave him a warm kiss. That kiss contained all her unspoken love.
As the duo was lost in the entrance kissing, their communication bracelet vibrated and a message popped up.
"Where are you? I need to speak with you."
