Summer and Alyssa were playing Wizards Chess and Jamie was doing Transfiguration work with Luke when Rebecca came in through the Portrait Hole. She was no longer crying, but you could tell she had been.
Rebecca walked over to the table Summer and Alyssa were at and sat down next to Alyssa. Jamie came over and joined them when she saw Rebecca.
"What's wrong Becca?" asked Alyssa gently.
"He…..knows" Rebecca whispered.
They all knew what she was talking about by her tone of voice.
"Come on, let's go up to our dorm" said Summer, standing up.
The others got up and followed Summer.
Once they were all situated, Rebecca told them everything that had happened.
"Wow, how ironic. I can't believe you actually picked a Werewolf movie" said Jamie.
"Jamie!" said Summer whacking her in the back of the head.
"Ow!" Jamie said.
"What?" Jamie asked, Summer just rolled her eyes.
"So, what are you going to do?" asked Alyssa.
"I don't know, I mean I really like him, but will he still like me?" asked Rebecca.
"Of course he will" said Summer confidently.
Rebecca raised her eyebrows, "I don't know about that"
Summer crossed her arms, "Have you seen the way he looks at you?"
"Well what do I do?" Rebecca asked.
"I think you two should talk; You should tell him the truth if he didn't figure it out and he really was just being observant." Summer said.

Rebecca found Nick sitting in a chair by the fire down stairs. She walked over to the side of is chair.
"Nick?" She asked.
He turned his head from the fire, to look at her. His face showed slight surprise.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Could-Could we talk? Tonight?" Rebecca asked.
"Of course." He said.
"All right, can you meet me out here at 11?" She asked.
"Of course" He repeated.
"'K ay. See you then" Rebecca said.
Nick just nodded.

Nick was all ready waiting for Rebecca when she came down the steps. Nick was standing by the dying fire. Rebecca walked over and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned to look at her.
"Let's sit down" said Rebecca, gesturing to the sofa.
Nick nodded.
"So, what do you want to talk about?"asked Nick.
"Earlier today, actually" said Rebecca.
"O.k. what about it?" He asked.
"I'm sorry" Rebecca said.
"That's it?" asked Nick, surprised.
Rebecca looked down at her hands in her lap, "Well, no, not exactly"
He just gave her a quizzical look.
"When I walked out, because of what you said, well that's true." said Rebecca, looking into his eyes.
"You mean what I said is true?" Nick asked.
Rebecca gulped and nodded.
"So, you're really a, um, you know, a…….." He stopped, looking at her.
"Werewolf" She finished for him, nodding.
He just stared at her. Rebecca frowned.
"What's wrong?" Nick asked.
Are-are you not afraid?" She asked in disbelief.
Nick shook his head, "Should I be?"
Rebecca shrugged, "I-I guess not"
They just sat in silence for a few minutes. Suddenly Rebecca started crying.
Nick looked alarmed, "Don't cry! What's a matter?"
"It's just….you're the only one besides Jamie, Summer, and Alyssa who's responded this way!"
Nick pulled her into his arms.
"Is that a bad thing?" He asked.
Rebecca wrapped her arms around Nick's waist and put her head on his chest, "No! no! I just thought……."
"That I'd break up with you because you a monster?" Nick asked.
Rebecca nodded.
"Well I don't care" Nick said, kissing her forehead, "It doesn't matter to me I know who you are, and you're not a monster, no matter what you turn into."
"Thanks" She whispered.
They stayed like that for a while, until they decided to go up to bed. Rebecca made to go over to the stairs, but Nick stopped her.
"Wait" He said, Rebecca turned and he put his hand on her cheek.
"I love you" He whispered before touching his lips gently to hers. When they broke apart, they stared each other in the eyes.
"I love you too" She whispered back. Rebecca saw the passion she felt in her heart burning in Nick's eyes. She kissed him back, after they broke apart again, Rebecca headed towards the girls dorms.
"Goodnight" She said.
"Goodnight" He said back.
They both went up their separate stair cases to their dorms, and their sleeping friends.
