I was surprised by what Lucas did, how could he kiss me? Is he flirting with me just like he does to the other girls in the St. Claire Academy?
I backed away from him as I was just shaken by what happened. He also seemed stunned at what he did, anxious about apologizing to me.
“I am sorry Thana, don’t get it wrong, I like you..and I guess I love you...
I was even more surprised when I heard those words from him, in my disbelief and trying to avoid him. I didn't notice that I flicked my finger when I disappeared in front of him.
“Thana... Thana... Where are you? I am sorry, come back here.”
Lucas calls Thana’s name. He was stunned by what happened with a twinkle of his eyes. Thana suddenly disappeared from his sight. But, then, he doesn’t have any idea where Thana went? Where will he find her? Still, what happened a while ago keeps questioning himself. How would it be possible that Thana disappeared suddenly?
I sit on my bed and just stare at the emptiness and in these moments, the scenes that Lucas kissed me come back to my mind. I didn’t know, but it feels like heaven when he kisses me for the first time. I felt this way. Is this a love that they called?
"No… It can't be, I shouldn't fall in love with him and he shouldn't fall in love with me."
Because of feeling restless, I called Mia, she will be the one that can help me at this moment.
"Mia… Mia... As I called her.
A smoked-shaped human appeared in front of me and it was Mia. She sat next to me and wondered what was happening to me. She puts her hand to my hand. It was as if something cold had touched me. I just looked at her and there were tears in her eyes. I was upset to see her crying for the first time I saw Mia crying. I couldn't understand why? I want to know the reason behind her tears.
"Mia, what happened? Why are you crying?"
She just stares at me and touches my hand.
"Thana are you in love?"
To my dismay I was dazed by what Mia said, I stood up from my bed and glanced at the window of my room. I don't even know how I can tell her that Lucas kissed me, but, then, I had a feeling that she already knows about it, she's my other half my guardian she feels what I feel.
I am faced with her again and I defy to tell her what had happened between Lucas and me a while ago.
"Do you have something to tell me!" She asked me.
"Lucas… Kiss me…"
I almost cried when I said that to her, I'm scared and I feel restless for what will happen next to us with Lucas.
I know for myself that to love an immortal is forbidden. I am afraid that the moment I let him kiss me and since I was avoiding him, I accidentally use my magic in front of him. I suddenly disappeared from his sight. I grasp Mia's hand, pleading with her to help me from the trouble that I have done.
"Are you in love with him?" Mia asked me once again.
"No. I am not…" I told her distinctly.
For the first time, my mind becomes confused. I could hardly think correctly.
"I need your help."
"You are hiding your feelings for him."
Mia was still crying. Her tears make my heartburn. I don't know why, but I was hurt when I saw her crying.
"I am afraid Thana if you fall in love with Lucas you will lose your power and I will disappear too."
I hugged her and assured her that it would never happen.
"Don't think that way, I will never let it happen to you and me together….alright?"
Mia gets calm from what I have said. I didn't understand why at first she was teasing me with Lucas about what she wants? What happened?
We are both silents sitting in my bed thinking what are we gonna do about Lucas and how to take away his memory about my disappearing in front of him.
(Third Person POV)
On his way back to Huesca Town and following Thana to her home to say sorry for kissing her and he needs to know that she is safe he was just wondering why all of the sudden she disappeared from his sight.
He drove too fast and almost flew at the speed of his drive. Just half an hour Lucas reached the place of Thana. He gets out of the car and knocks on that door several times and calls Thana's name.
"Thana… Thana…" Lucas shouted from the outside of Thana's home.
I suddenly stood in my seat when I heard someone call me. I peek in the window to see who was calling me. I was stunned when I saw Lucas in front of our house.
"Thana, please talk to me... I am sorry… I need to talk to you."
Lucas almost shouts when he says those words. I need to do something before my Grandmother and my mother notices him. I took a glance at Mia and asked her for help. But, before Mia takes her move my mother opens the door for Lucas.
I was even more nervous that my mother might find out what happened to Lucas and me, so I hurried out of my room.
"Yes, young boy, what can I do for you?" My mother asked him and I was just observing what Lucas would say to my mother.
"I need to talk to Thana, ma'am. If you give me permission… I have something to say to her."
My mother let Lucas come in when she sees me, she takes a glance at me before she leaves. I know there are such questions she wants to ask me. At once I come nearer to Lucas and pull him out to our house.
" What are you doing here? "
" I am sorry… Please forgive me…"
"Forget what had happened". I said to him bluntly.
"No, it's not what you think… I am serious, I like you."
"No….Just forget everything that happened today and pretend it didn't happen".
I walk away from him but before I take another step he grabs my arms holding my shoulder facing him.
"What happened a while ago? You just disappeared from my sight, I was worried at that time. I thought you were in danger and someone took you away."
"No, it never happens Lucas…and just like what I have said don't fall in love with me."
I hurriedly got inside and left him alone confused and wondered.
After that night Lucas became unfamiliar to me, I tried to reach out to him but he walked away from me. On that day I noticed that Lucas came back from the day I met him. Just like those days he is surrounded by girls of the St. Claire Academy.
I should be happy that he avoided me, but I feel a strange feeling. Why does my heart seem to hurt every time he avoids me and when I see another woman with him it seems like I want to cry.
The days move too fast, many things have changed. Everything around me seems to have changed as well. Only Andy remains to me who was being a good friend to me and Mandy was being a stranger to me and Andy.
Until the day of our final exam comes, I am hoping that Lucas will pass the final exam to make it for the college and Selena is too confident enough to take the exam with the help of Andy she was able to catch up with all the lessons. I still believe that Lucas can pass the final exam, while Mandy is struggling in all the subjects.
I am afraid that Mandy will fail the final exam. She was crazy about loving Liam and Victoria is a bad influence on her. I use my magic to help Mandy to pass the final exam. I flicked my fingers to change all her answers on a questionnaire for her to pass and make it to the college.
After we took an exam, Andy and I went to the cafeteria that we always used to do and I saw all of the students were relieved from the long day of taking an exam. I saw Lucas too. He was happy and it was such a relief to me and Mandy with the help of my magic she can pass and make it to the college.
Andy ordered two chocolate chip creams and two slices of strawberry cake. Andy and I were just looking at each other when someone suddenly sat at our table to join in. He smiles at me and extends his hands to greet me and he says hello to Andy.
"Nice to see you again Thana".
I was surprised when he called my name the moment I glanced at him. I remember him as the guy who danced with me at the prom.
"I'm Amherst, nice to see you here".
I smiled at him to greet him and extend my hand to shake his hand. But when our palms were put in it was as if I had a strange feeling for him. I feel the energy that envelops his personality. It was too strong and I felt like I was suddenly just weakening.
