Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Kayas POV

Honestly, the start of this new week was dull and I was more than glad when it came to an end, Friday, the best day of the week.

I slipped out of class waiting outside the doors for Ally, as I spied on every other person walking out through the school door, catching a glimpse of Khloe’s shiny perfect blond hair, Mr Jerk face and friend.... And Alessia as they got into their car.

It had long been established now that Khloe was part of the popular three,  sat with them every lunch,  went everywhere with them and was brought to school and back by them,  however  for the first time they we're not on my mind.

Instead I searched shamelessly for the thief who kissed me and disappeared,  yeah that's right,  he hasn't come to class all week,  not that anyone seemed to question why and I wondered why I cared but that didn't stop me from looking.

"He didn't come today did he?” Ally asked falling into line with me.

"Who?”

She gave me a 'really?” Look.

I sighed fixed up my skirt, "nope, no one seems to even notice, maybe I should ask someone,  a teacher? " I asked.

Ally nodded,  "it is quite strange that boy misses classes so much and no one seems to care but when he is here,  they can't take their eyes off him, "

"Alright then maybe we can ask Miss Venice"

"The principle?” Ally asked unconvinced.

"Yeah, come on!” I yelled pulling her along with me

"Now?!”

"Yeah!”

I was curious, and I needed to know.  Also why should every boy I kiss want to ditch me the next minute?

We walked toward the secretary’s desk, "hello," I greeted making her look up at me from her glasses.

"Hey girls, " she replied smiling, she seemed like a nice lady.

"We need to see Miss Venice if she's not busy, " Ally asked.

"Oh, the principles not in at the moment, but I’ll be glad to help,”

Ally and I exchanged looks, "well, see we we're a little bit worried about a certain student,”

"What?  Did he do anything?” She leaned in lowering her voice, “inappropriate?” she asked.

We paused for a second before understanding, “no, no, no, no, "

"Nothing like that"

We both denied.

She sighed taking a deep breath, “well that was close"

We smiled but a bit uncertain, "it’s just, this boy, Legion don't his last names, hasn’t been to class for a week and we just wondered if there was a reason?" I dragged, "we we're just a bit worried" Ally added glancing at me.

The secretary eyes us carefully, "legion you say?" she asked moving to her computer.

We nodded.

I bit my lip as she typed something on her computer, "well,  there is no record here showing why he would be absent,  " her eyebrows furrowed,  "it actually shows he does attend every lesson, "

"T-that can't be right, he hasn't been here all week," I countered.

She nodded slowly, eyes still fixed on the screen.

Ally sent me a questioning glare as the secretary hummed.

"I-i don't know what to say girls but your friend here seems to have a perfect attendance,"

Ally shook her head mouthing, "rigged" to me.

"Well, could you perhaps tell us where he lives," Ally asked making me glare at her, "we just want to check up on him"

The secretary paused, "I'm not allowed to give anyone private information-'

"Please, we are just worried and no offense but this whole situation is confusing and slightly suspicious, "she added.

The secretary bit her lip glancing at the door, "well you two look harmless and you are his friend’s right?"

"Yes, sure... Whatever" she whispered in my ear as she handed us the address.

, "this never happened,"

"Of course it didn't," Ally replied as I thanks d her.

"And that's how you do it," Ally whispered as we walked out.

The fresh air hit us, as well as the deserted place as I climbed into Ally's car, "so... When are you planning on seeing prince charming, "she asked taking the wheel?

"Me?  You mean us? "I replied, there was no way I was going to his house alone, come rain come sunshine.

She chuckled, "sure... We, " she finished handing the address over to me.

"Maybe tomorrow, Aunt Lily said I should meet her by the office, so it isn't possible today.”

"Same here, mom wants us to go shopping today,”

"Shopping!” I echoed.

"Yeah, for dad, their anniversary is coming up,"

"Oh... What is she planning on getting him? "

"Probably a watch. Or ties something he can wear to work every day, "Ally replied mindlessly as she took a corner.

I hummed in agreement.

"Have you talked to Azian since your mini-mart encounter?"

I sent her a glare causing her to clear her throat, "I mean   have you talked to Mr Jerk face ever since your encounter?”

We had agreed his name would not be uttered ever again among us.

I shook my head staring out the window, "I hope I never,"

She hummed before turning back to me, "so how’s the research going?"

My face lit up, "quite interesting actually. I can see why you we're so intrigued about the supernatural. I'm reading on witches you know and thief power, thief levels, dark magic,"

I paused leaning back, "imagine having the power to create and destroy something just my uttering a few words, wouldn't that be something?"

Ally nodded, "yes, but it would all be scary as well, magic especially dark magic has a tone of consequences. Nothing really comes for free,"

"You sound like Legion,"

"Ewe," she giggled

"How about you?”

"Mmm?”

"What are you reading?”

"Well in that book you brought out for me,"

"Creatures of the moon?"

"Yeah that one. It has some pretty interesting stuff about werewolves and other creatures of the night,"

"Sounds dark"

"It kind of is,"

We both chuckled as she parked.

"Thanks for the ride," I said getting out of the car, "sure thing!  Just text me what time tomorrow! "

"Alright!" I called back slamming the door shut.  I watched as she drove away before turning toward the office, a pretty white building no bigger than a house.

I entered it, making sure to close the door immediately finding my Aunt who was talking to a rather smart looking gentleman, dressed in a top dollar suit, his tie at a perfect nighty degree angle.  His blond hair perfectly combed.

He actually reminded me of those billionaires, girls in class would dream of marrying one day.

"Oh Kaya!"  Aunt Lily called making me walk over to them

"I've been waiting for you," she coed her eyes widening a little,

"Sorry, I had to deal with something," I whispered back.

"Kaya, meet Caleb, my boss, "she added giving out one of her beautiful smiles

Well, she wasn't lying when she said he was good looking, cause dang was he fine.  He actually made me blink twice.

Seems like I wasn't the only one caught off guard because he was looking up at me in surprise, a look that really didn't fit his face well.

It was easy to tell, there was very little that surprised him.

"Kaya?" He echoed "Kaya Renee?"

"The one and only, " I replied shaking his hand, "and you are the Caleb," I said glancing at my aunt who threw back the 'behave' glare.

He blinked three times, " uh yes, and this is the niece you've been telling me about? " he asked glancing at Aunt Lily.

"Yes," she replied her eyebrows furrowing, "you seem surprised"

He paused for a minute his eyes shifting between the two of us, "oh. It’s just- Uhmm, you two look so alike,” he replied scratching his beard.

Aunt lily laughed, "Oh you should see Gabriele. We’re practically twins,"

He nodded but still seemed on edge.

"Well, sir we best be heading home," she began

"Agh yes today is a Friday," he said as if it had suddenly dawned on him.

"Alright then, I'll see you tomorrow then?" she asked.

He nodded, "6pm sharp," he added staring at her from the bottom up.

I almost threw up watching them flirt. Love oh love.

"Sure. Bye!” she yelled grabbing my elbow as we walked toward the door.

"Is he looking?" she whispered.

"You know it," I replied catching a glimpse of him checking her out.

She bit her lip as we walked out.

"You we're right aunt. That is one fine man, "I complimented slipping into the car Seat beside her.
