So, there will be fifteen chapters. It was decided after I talked to my cousins, siblings, and friends. The ending was something I had planned on from the start, so I knew that after that ending, there would only be one more chapter.
The ending made me slightly uncomfortable to write (but it was pretty funny and awkward for the two guys who volunteered to act it out).
Enjoy!

Fourteenth
In Which There Is Much Fear and Confusion
"Why are some girls so naive?
He didn't unbutton your blouse to see
A better view of your heart,
Oh yeah, can't blame you for trying..."
I asked my mom to call me in sick the next morning. I was not feeling good and I really did not know why. I was running a fever, so my mom dismissed it as the common cold, which I was very thankful for.
So, I got to sleep in and just bum through the day. Hahli contacted me on Facebook, asking me where I was at. I told her and she sympathized.
And she told me that Tahu had been bugging her and Nixie all day, asking them where I was at and when I was going to show up so that he and I could straighten things out.
Shasa had dismissed even knowing me, going as far as to say "Gali Louba-who? Never heard of her. Is she in our class?" every time Tahu asked her.
There was also a fight between Nuhrii and an infielder from another school (what he was doing at our school, no one knows).
Rumor says: "Bomb threat." Hahli told me through the little chat.
Ooo, like we do not get enough of those on a normal, daily basis. I replied. Really, you would think that people would know by now!
Gtg, teacher!
And she signed off.
I chuckled and logged off Facebook. We would talk later.
So, I bummed around some more. The History Channel had something on the Little Ice Age. It was a rerun I had seen before, but it was entertaining enough.
At around three o'clock, the door bell rang. I contemplated over whether or not I should answer it. It rang again and it was decided for me.
I checked the peephole and saw Thok. Blinking in surprise and confusion, I opened the door.
"Hi." I said nervously, suddenly aware that i had not yet changed from my pajamas. He flashed a smile.
"Hi." he said back.
"Um... What are you doing here?"
"I heard that you were sick today and I came to see if you were alright. Are you?"
"Yeah, I just... I just needed the day off." I shuffled my feet.
"Ah, so you ditched."
"I guess you could call it that." I murmured, blushing. I stood there awkwardly before saying, "Want to come in for a little while? I could get dressed and we could go out and do something."
"Sounds good." he said, walking past me. He sat down on the couch and watched the television.
I closed the door and rushed upstairs. Most of my clothes were dirty (Note to self: Wash clothes tonight!) but I eventually found some jeans and a t-shirt that was clean enough. I sprayed both objects with Febreze and they smelled like they had just been washed. I added some body spray to tone down the scent of Febreze.
Thok was still downstairs in the same position, lounging on the couch watching the History Channel.
He drove us to a little Chinese place not far from my home. I have found memories of that place. My family and I used to go there every Friday. That was before my dad got promoted and everything changed. I only go there now if I do not feel like cooking.
Without realizing it, I had ordered beef stir fry, steamed rice, and spring rolls. It was the same meal I had made for Tahu nine... ten days ago.
"Is something wrong?" Thok asked.
"No." I said, shaking my head, trying to shake out all thoughts of Tahu and my memories of him.
I ate the food, not really feeling its warmth of enjoying the taste. It half filled the emptiness inside of me.
Thok and I made small talk, nothing big or anything. But, even with it, the whole thing was awkward.
It was dark out by the time we left.
I was not really paying attention to where he was taking us, but I did notice when we stopped. He had parked in a spot near the park.
"Wha—" I started to ask. His mouth covered mine, stopping any words from coming out. I went to try and push him off, but found that he had pinned my wrists together with one of his hands. His other hands was traveling up my top, to a place that has never been touched by anyone else but myself when I was changing.
I started to panic. He was older and much stronger than I was. I tried to kick him, but found my legs were made of jelly. I felt my eyes grow hot and tear up. I did not care if I cried.
I was going to be raped in Thok's car. No one would be any the wiser.
I had not left a note or called anyone to let them know where I would be and who I would be with.
I was in trouble.
"Roses, roses cold
Rose, roses sold out..."
—Meg & Dia, "Roses"
Oh no! Gali is in trouble! Will anyone come to save her? Will she be raped? Will more questions be answered?
Yeah, all the questions will be answered, including some that people have been wondering about for a while now.
So these are the ideas for the prequel, The Days Before:
1. Gali's friendship with the twins
2. How Kopaka fits into the story
3. Tahu's first crush and heartbreak
4. A slumber party
5. Onua's day off
6. Pohatu's devious plan
7. Lewa the Eavesdropper
8. An awkward JallerHahli moment
9. Gali's daydreams
10. Why everyone is afraid of the twins
Most of these are comedic. My cousin and I came up with how Kopaka fist into all of this. I was iffy about it when we first came up with it, now it is just hysterical. It is honestly something you would not expect from him. (Nightshroud19, you will be pleased.)
So, if there is anything else you need to be explained, let me know and I will try to do it.
I do have a little sequel planned. It will be on the Halloween Masquerade (a request made by my cousin). It is cute and very funny. A lot of fluff and surprises.
Do not miss the last chapter! I will try to get it up tomorrow or Sunday. It continues where this chapter leaves off.
