YOOO! I am writing chapter 13 now because I'm leaving with my mom soon, and yesterday I cleaned the whole house. So, this is what I'm going to do (Barayah I'm following your advice:) I'm going to take her out to the mall, we're going to shop till we drop (with a dunkin donuts break in between). Then, I'm going to take her out to see a horror movie, since we both love scary movies. then, we'll probably buy smoothies. We're going to go from 5 to like 11 at night. So, yeah. It's a fun day today. Thanx for the suggestions Barayah, I'm keeping all of your tips in mind. So, withou further ado (I say this a lot) , Here's the chapter.

After that embarrassing moment, I go to my dorm and sit on my desk. I think back to what Derek was telling me, what was he hiding? I think about asking him, but decide against it. I make a 'great wall of China' around my thoughts, and I swear it's like I'm hearing Derek chuckle. Then again, he probably is. I think about talking to him. Before slapping any sense back into my mind I start talking.

why can you hear only my thoughts?

I don't know.

Even his voice sounds like he's hiding something.

There has to be a reason.

Look Chloe, Liz and Kathryn are worried about you. You should go and eat something.

As if on cue, my stimach starts growling. Thankfully he's in his dorms and can't hear me.

Hey Chloe?

Yeah?

What day of the week were you born?

I'm pretty sure it was a Friday. Why are you asking me?

I'm just wondering. They say people born on Fridays are lucky.

I'm not so sure about that.

Yeah me either.

What's that supposed to mean?

Chloe Saunders just doesn't have the best luck in the world. I should know. Because I was born on a Friday too.

I'm going to shrug, just pretend that you can see it

Yeah whatever.

He's hesitating. I know it.

Listen Chloe, with all the crazy going on in your life I think yiu might like a night out.

Like off school grounds?

Yeah.

We can do that?

Only if you're extremely lucky. So, I should ask the headmaster, not you.

Oh haha.

Yeah so what do you say, wanna go out.

Derek Souza are you asking me out on a date.

No way. If you're still thinking about what happened at the library, that was a mistake that should've never happened.

I stay quiet.

Derek, I don't think I want to go. I think I want to go to sleep and relax.

But-

I don't let him finish, instead I shut off our communication. Who knew that a guy so stubborn can hurt me so much. I shake off the feeling and think about what he's hiding. Whatever it is, it can't be keeps hesitating whenever I ask him why he can read my mind. SO, before I can go into a dreamless sleep at 6 in the morning, I make up my mind to figure it out and go to the library on my own.

When I wake up, the events of last night make me frustrated. Needing a distraction,I look at the clock, It's 7 and Liz is already up and probably getting breakfast. That would explain her empty unmade bed. She usually cleans up her side when we come back from school. However, considering that I get a week vacation, I decide to make her bed neat and tidy. As well as the rest of the room. By the time I'm done, It's 9. It's December and the real school vacation is next week, meaning I get 3 weeks of vacation while everyone else get only 2. I decide to go the headmaster's and ask if I can go off of campus grounds. After about a half an hour discussion of whether or not it's healthy for me to go, he finally relents and lets me go out by myself. Even though I'm a freshman, I'm sixteen years old, and I got my license a few months ago in the summer. My car is parked right outside of school, and I decide to drive around town.

While I'm driving I think back to the way Derek and I were centimeters away. He was so nice. What changed in less than a few hours? I don't know. I shake my head, and decide not to let my driving become a danger to anyone. Because I was supposedly 'schizophrenic' the school held me back a year, and let me go to school a year later. As I try to forget about the events of school that led to my mom's death, I run into a library. I shrug and say why not. IO head into the library, say hi to the librarian, and head straight to the computers. Trying to remember the URL, I type in the name of the book that Derek showed me last night. LAst night. I shudder as I think about it. I then come to a conclusion that I should avoid Derek.

Chloe? CHLOE? Where are you?

It's Derek.

I decide to ignore him and ignore him. Why does he care all of a sudden? I make the great wall of China, and continue searching for the print book. I hold my breath. I found it. I ask the librarian for it and she gives me a weird look.

"It's for a school project" I quickly try to say.

She just nods and shows me the book. After making myself a library card, I leave the small library and start heading out. I drive to Dunkin, buy myself a coffee and start reading the large book. I look through the table of contents, before stopping myself at one chapter:

"The ultimate werewolf's doom"

So? how was that? tell me in the review comments below and I'll try to make the next chapter better. So sorry for the misspellings, but I am typing super fast. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter, an I'm off to do my chores.

XOX, Mermear
