There stood Simon and his father's car in the background, Kit and Derek inside it. Simon was beaming as soon as he came into view. We'd talked last night and he said how excited he was to see me again, how much fun we were going to have and that Derek had missed me almost as much as him, but Derek didn't show it.

I yelped and jumped into his arms. He laughed at my excitement and whispered into my ear "It's really nice to see you too Chlo. I've really missed you." I pulled back a bit to study him; all the while I had a huge grin on my face at seeing him again.

We made our way to the car, Simon carrying my luggage. I hoped into the back seat while he put my bag in the trunk. "It's nice to see you again Chloe." Kit said from the drivers spot. Derek sat in the passenger's seat, angling himself so he could look at me. "The Boys have really missed you, and I nearly had to put a silence spell on Simon so he would stop asking me when we could see you again." Kit laughed.

Simon hoped into the seat beside me as his father spoke and mumbled something about needing a repelling spell and not getting any help from a certain antisocial werewolf. I laughed at that and Derek cracked a slight smile. "It's nice to see you too, Kit. I really think we shouldn't wait 3 months to see each other again, in the future."

"I agree. How have you been?"

"I've been good. My dad spent 2 months off of work to spend with me when I came back. Aunt Lauren found a new job and I think I'll be going back to Art's school when the year starts. How about you guys?" I asked, "Have you found a place yet?"

Simon spoke up, "We've been accepted into a school and dad found a nice house about 5 minutes away from yours and 10 minutes away from the school."

Kit was driving so I didn't want to distract him right now, plus I wanted to hear from Derek too. But he was just sitting there, staring at me. Then he spoke up, "You look different."

"I grew up." I stated. Simon remarked on my hair being longer and colored different. Instead of the black Derek picked out for me, I was back to my original hair color and my red streaks. Kit stated that it looked as if I grew a few inches. Derek didn't speak, just continued to stare at me, his gaze so intense that I couldn't look away.
