Dean got up and moved to the front of the class, I look up at Eloise an she looks relieved. “I take it I’ve done you a favour?” I ask her.
“Hell yeah I did not want to go out with that guy after that! I mean I know the Mage is well nasty and a bit evil if you ask me, but he’s not a bully and you know I can’t stand bullies. To be far to Jonah though fair play for getting in on a scholarship, that must mean he’s really clever.” Eloise looks at Jonah pondering over what’s up with him.
He keeps sneaking glances at me from his seat at front.
“Ladies concentrate please.” Dawns stern words come out again. I chuckled and make a start on my necklace charm.
Some of the ingredients are a trick ingredient. Firstly garlic does nothing to a Vamp other than make you smell. There is silver little blunt needles though and they work perfectly, also Ash wood and it has to be Ash wood to do anything to them, they can sense which wood it is too. So you have to add Ash and not some other wood or they will know.
There are the elemental crystals so we each add our own plus the others around a second loop, as we are a coven, especially myself as I’m spirit. I can channel other elements for my use.
I add a couple of decorative feathers, but then we need pure salt and we have that but nothing to attach it too. I put my hand up,
“Jonah? Could we have some glue please?” I ask him and he looks pleased.
“Finally! I’ve done these for months as the first defence and no one else has asked about the salt. Good thinking Kasy.” He gives me another small smile and Dean turns round to glare at me.
“Teachers b***h!” I hisses at me.
“Excuse me, what did you call me!”
I start to get up, I’m not dealing with that crap from him.
“How on earth did a swine like you make it as head boy” I ask
But it’s Jonah who answers me as he stands so close to me it gives me chills again.
“Oh Dean’s mum is on the committee. She’s not powerful enough and neither is Dean to be useful coven members”
I look at him wide eyed, I can’t believe he just said that, he’s more of a savage than I am.
I burst out laughing and the class erupts into :Dean got owned” again shouts.
Jonah sits down on the seat he brings to my desk, the symbol came with three rings and he shows me how to put them together. So I do and attach all my symbols and charms.
He then shows me how to carve some protection runes on the metal disks for the charm and we spend the rest of the lesson with jonah next to us showing us how to melt the runes into the metal and attach them.
He’s so close as he works quickly bit with such knowledge and skill. I can smell his fresh washed scent and his aftershave too. He seems like a totally different and normal person whilst we work up to lunch time just him and me. The other girls ask a few questions and he shows them how to do it from my desk. But he doesn’t move to help them, he stays with me. So close that our elbows touch and little shivers come over me.
I seem to have the same effect on him, as I notice the chills and Goosebumps go over his arms as I accidentally brush my arm against his.
Now I’m the one watching the chills spread along his skin. Which is over some VERY well toned and muscled arms.
I feel like a vulture staring at his skin like he’s the last meal on earth.
I give my head a shake then look up and he’s only been watching my every move.
OH goddess that’s embarrassing again. My cheeks flame red and he watches the blush crawl along my skin.
He gives me another kind smile, the more he smiles at me like that the more I want him to.
They are infectious really and I’m smiling right back at him. Our little moment is popped by another student, a girl with short black hair and verging on the emo side.
She gives me a not so nice look then smiles sweetly at Jonah.
“Mr Jonah, could you help me please I’m finding it hard to do the runes too.”
He jumps up suddenly remembering he is meant to be teaching.
He gives me a nod of goodbye and goes to help the other student, when his back is turned she gives me a look of triumph.
OK so I’m stepping on someone toes there obviously, good to know.
I look to Dawn and she raises her eyebrow at me and I just shrug. What can I say to that! We had a moment so what? I’m sure he will be back to his usual snotty self come the end of the lesson.
But it’s only period two and we’re already starting to work out the ways of the school.
The break Bell rings.
“Alright class label your charms and put them in the baskets on my desk please. You are dismissed.” Jonah says to the class.
I hurry and label mine just like the other students and we all race to put ours on the desk to get out for break.
As we go out the class room Dawn grabs my arm “lockers now” she whispers in my ear.
The rest of the class seem to have the same idea though. As I reach the locker with my name on it, I see that all the girls have the same ones.
The Emo short haired girl from class comes up to me and slams my locker door closed in front of my face. "HEY!"
I turn round to ask what her problem is, but she jabs a finger in my chest,
"Jonah is mine, he's taking me to prom and you aren't coming in with your royal, original family blood and taking him from me you got that!"
She's spitting the last words at me she's so upset.
"Umm yea you got him girl, he's all yours. But remember one thing....you know what they say about coven sisters?"
"Pfft no what do they say?" she glares at me
"The usual if you mess with one, you'd better look behind you!'
The girl whirls round and BOOM Jo and Eloise hit her with a flying jet of water to the face and soak her to the bone.
"Now about Jonah, I'm sorry I didn't really get your meaning there?"
she goes from red to purple to pure rage and tries to kick me but fails miserably and slips on her butt.
We all walk over her and carry on with our day.
Pfft bully's they don't even know what their dealing with.
