Lie of my life

Chapter Three

"I knew it!"- punched Trish into the air as Tina explained everything that happened since Tate showed up on the first day of school.

" I knew you liked him, and I seen him following you around with his eyes. Tina, it's fantastic! "- she leaned back to the wall with a dreamy expression on her face.

"What do you mean fantastic???"- Tina huffed at her.

"Duuh... you could finally date someone.. We are not ten anymore..."- she explained as if Tina was dumb.

"Well, I am not sure that I wan't to date him.. Or.. if he wants to date me!"- she shouted getting angry.

The door of the last stall burst open as if on cue, and the most irritating girl of their class walks out laughing.

" Tate and You? As if.. He is too cool for you.. It already is a mystery how did you manage to stay around Matt for so long..."- she laughed with the fakest, high pitched voice.

" Don't put your nose into everything Rose.. Noone asked your opinion!"- glared at the girl Trish.

" He will be mine, just watch"- she flipped her long bleach blonde hair and walked out of the room.

"Ugh... I sooo hate this bitch.."- rolled her eyes Trish.

"Agree"- nodded Tina with a smile as they both walked out to the corridor.

The rest of the day went well, without any more events and Tina was ready to walk home as Matt has after school activity today, and she didn't want aunt Elle to drive down twice.

She just secured her shoelaces when a shadow fell over her feet. She looked up and found a pair of big boots standing in front of her. Dragging her eyes up, she already knew who they belong to, but had to make sure, before she could panic.

"Hey Buttercup, mind if I walk home with you?"- he asked with a cute smile.

She wanted to say no, but he beat her to it.

" Don't say no, I will do it anyway, but it would look creepier if I follow you."- he laughed and started walking.

He didn't leave her a choice, did he? She started walking, quite angry at him, deciding not to talk to him at all on the way. It didn't last for long, as he kept firing jokes and cheeky comments to make her fire back at him or laugh.

By the time they reached her house they were deep into a fun conversation and she was surprised how good it felt to just chat with him about silly things. They spoke about favourite movies and hobbies and what food she liked or hated. He asked her about her family and looked honestly sorry when he heard about her loss. 

He turned out to be a very nice boy, apart from his sarcastic comments in school.

"And this is where I live"- she finished their chat pointing at her house. 

" Nice one.. Listen, I know I come through a bit rude at times.. But I really do like you Tina"- he looked at her with a charming grin. 

" What do you say we go out for a date sometime? Maybe a movie?"- he asked with a perfect puppy look on his face.

" Only on one condition"- she said, a smile playing on her lips.

" Anything for my princess"-he joked, bending in front of her like a servant.

"You stop looking at me like a stray puppy, and for God's sake, wear something less depressing"- she laughed as she ran through the gates.

" You!!! I swear you will pay for your smartass comments Buttercup!!"- he laughed, pretending that he was mad.

" I'll pick you up on Saturday at five!"- he shouted after her still smiling as she ran up to her house. She waved him back smiling before entering the massive doors and disapearing behind it. Damn, she was cute.

" Matty, dinner is ready"- shouted Elle up the stairs.

After a few seconds her son came galopping down the stairs, like a wild horse.

" You hungry?"- she towered some mashed potatoes on his plate, then added a slice of steak on to it.

" I'm starving.. "-he said as he took the plate and dug into it.

"How was school?"- she asked, while serving herself too.

" Was okay... There is this new guy in our class.. I don't really like him...He keeps messing around Tina"- he said and shoved a spoonful of his food into his mouth.

"Oh honey.. I know you would love to keep her all to yourself, but you can't chase away every boy who likes her.. Ask her out yourself, or let her go out with others"- she said sitting down with her plate.

" It's not like that!! She is like a sister to me, you know that!"- he blushed, fixing his gaze onto his plate.

"Okay, okay... Then don't be overly protective."- she hid a smile.

" What if I just do a tiny little spell?"- he looked at her begging.

" Matthew Cristopher Winters, don't you dare use your magic for selfish reasons!"- she scolded him.

" Mooom! How is it selfish when I am protecting Tina with it???"-he argued.

" Don't pretend that it wouldn't be for your own good, young man! And don't forget, she doesn't have any powers, so it would be forbidden as she is not involved in our world anyway!"- she cut him off.

" But she is involved! She is a hybrid like me!"- he kept on going about the topic.

" No.. she has no magic and did not turn into a wolf either. She better be kept clueless and live as a regular human. And consider this the end of the arguement."- she looked at him seriously.

He wanted to keep fighting, but knew his mom better. It would be no use. He felt that there was something in Tina, somewhere inside, but his mom was right. She has never shown to have any magical abilities like her mom, nor did she turn into a werewolf at the age 14, like her dad. Due to this, her dad never told her what she was born into, and made Matt swear to keep it a secret as well, to make her life safer. 

When her father died, he swore at the man's grave that he will keep Tina safe for him, even if it would cost him his own life. He loved that man as his own father, and loved Tina as his own sister. Nothing could ever come in between them, no girls and no boys. Not even the Moon Goddess herself. 

He cleared his plate and went up to his room. His phone had a few missed calls, and he knew it was Tina. They always spoke before falling asleep. He hit call as he streched out on his bed, and her voice made him smile as she answered the phone. It didn't last though, because what she said did not make him happy at all.
