SPENCER
Spencer had smelled her sister in the garden and followed the scent till the Barn. Melissa was probably admiring her work with the loft, at least, she hoped she was. On days like this, Spencer loved being a wolf, or a werewolf, it was the same. She could smell, hear and feel things regular people, humans, couldn't.
''Hey, what do you think? '' Spencer asked Melissa. The whole family were wolves, so Melissa had probably smelled her too because she just came out.
''You have an eye for design, I absolutely love it. '' Spencer was overwhelmed. Melissa never liked something of hers, she never even complimented her and now she did?
''Thank you.'' Was all she could say.
''Honestly, when mom said you were converting the barn to a loft, I couldn't see it. But it's beautiful. Job well done. '' This was new and Spencer liked it, getting approval from her was more important than getting it from someone else.
''Well I'm glad you like it.''
''And I totally appreciate you're letting us move in.''
''What?'' Spencer asked, hoping this was just a stupid joke but Melissa looked seriously at her.
''Wren and I are staying in the barn while we redo my place in the city.'' She said like it was the most logical thing to do. But it wasn't, not to Spencer.
''No, I'm moving in for junior year, Melissa. That's the deal I made with mom and dad. I got the grades, I did the intern ship, I gave up my summer because I wanted this.''
''Well, you'll just have to wait.'' She couldn't believe her ears. All this work, all the missing of fun for nothing? No, not for nothing, worse: for her sister. ''Why can't you stay in my room?''
''We're a couple, Spencer. We need our own space and mom and dad agree. ''
''But they promised me!'' was the last thing Spencer could think of to get her right. A guy came out of the barn and joined the Hasting sisters.
''Is everything okay?'' he asked with a cute accent. He didn't know they were wolves, Melissa was planning on telling him. She said she first wanted to be sure that he was the one she would spent the rest of her life with so she waited until after the wedding. Spencer saw things different. According to her, it would be better to tell it before the engagement so he could make his own choice: leave or stay. But as shown once more, nobody listened to Spencer.
''I'm Wren.'' He introduced himself.
''I thought you would be happy for us.'' Were Melissa's final words after giving Wren a hug to show Spencer how happy they were.
''Well, you know what they say about hope. It breads eternal misery. '' Were Spencer's last words before she turned around and walked away.
''Sounds like she doesn't want us moving in the barn.'' Wren said concerned. He didn't want to make his fiancé's family feel bad.
''Don't worry about Spencer, she'll get over it.'' But Spencer felt bad because he felt like he had taken something very important from Spencer and he always wanted to make everyone happy. That was just him.
''Shouldn't you know better?'' Spencer asked after seeing Wren putting out a cigarette. The smell was also all over him. She was outside on the porch, reading a book.
''You're a med student, right? ''
''You're a bit of a smart ass'' he replied in his cute accent. Spencer couldn't help but feel attracted to that, who wouldn't?
''A bit?'' She pretended to feel insulted. He laughed, not knowing a good reply to that.
''Does my sister know you smoke?''
''Does she have to know everything?'' Now it was Spencer's turn for being speechless. It wasn't usual that a Hastings didn't know what to say back. What he didn't know was that Melissa probably would know he smoked, the smell was all over him and with wolf senses, it was much easier to smell. Wren saw the opportunity of them being alone for apologizing.
''I'm sorry that we're moving in to your loft. If you want me to say something..''
''No, it wouldn't make a difference.'' She sighed deeply.
''Thank you for being sorry.'' And she really meant it. In her family , no one was ever truly sorry but Wren was and she liked it for a change. He nodded and felt bad that he couldn't do more than that.
''You're not like Melissa's usual boyfriends. '' That woke up his curiosity.
''How am I unusual?'' You're hot, funny, honest, have a cute accent, …but she couldn't say that out loud.
''We're late for dinner.'' Spencer said instead, closed her book and stood up from the wooden chair. Right before entering the house, she knew a good answer.
''I actually like you.'' And it wasn't lied. It just recapitulated everything she couldn't say. She got a flashing smile in return.
''That's what unusual. '' So much for not flirting with her sister's boyfriend.
ARIA
After school, Aria waited for two hours in the park across till the building was empty. She had kept a close eye on everyone that went out and hadn't seen him so he must be still in. Footsteps. Papers rustled. A sigh. No more footsteps but a crack of a chair. A voice she would recognize from a thousand, cursed. It was him, he was still there. With her vampire speed, she went to the front door and slowed to a human pace inside. Aria followed his scent, the sound of his footsteps and breathing and came at the English class. After giving herself some courage, she went inside. Surprised, he looked up at her.
''You told me you went to Hollis.''
''No, I said I was thinking about majoring in English. And that's true!'' She could tell on his face he wasn't convinced and knew what he was going to say before he said it.
''Look, I think you're amazing, Aria. When I first met you, I thought: who is this girl?'' she smiled. Not what she expected, it was better. A smile appeared on her face. Aria placed her hand on his.
''I'm still that girl.'' She tried.
''Nothing has changed. ''
''Yes. yes, it has. I'm your teacher.'' He pointed out the obvious.
''I know it's not just me. You f…you feel like this is right for us too.'' Aria rejected.
''But it's not right.'' He withdrew his hand, stood up with a sigh and walked away after saying that one thing she had hoped not to hear.
''We just can't.''
