Vordona by Odalyse Macias (classic reads TXT) 📕

After so long in hiding with these humans I have grown accustomed to them and have learned their ignorant ways. But my time of hiding has ended he has found me. The one I thought I had left in my distant past.

“Hey Luna some new guys in the office and he is H-O-T hot. Have you seen him yet?” She had brown hair and hazel eyes and stood at 5’2” a complete contrast to what I look like I had black hair and light blues eyes and stood 5’ exactly.  “Hey Layla, No I haven’t seen him yet but hopefully I might see him soon,” I said. “Haha hopefully.” she said. The bell rang. “Oops got to go, see you after class” I said “See ya” She said. Off I went to my next class wondering who the new boy could be.

Right when I walk into my next class I stop dead in my tracks there he was right in front of me. I thought he was out of my life for good but I guess it was too good to be true. As soon as I gathered my wits I walk completely into the classroom. “Hey Luna,” said Benjamin. “What’s up Luna,” said Rodrigo. I smile at them “Hey Rodrigo, Hey Benjamin,” I said as I walked in and did my hand shake for both of them. When I look up after taking my seat he is staring at me, I stare back then he gives me a daring smile. Who knew I would see his face again (Jonah) after so long? “Hey Luna,” said Jonah. “You know her, I thought you were new?” Asked Rodrigo. “Yah, we go way back.” said Jonah while never taking his eyes off of me. All I could do was look at him still wondering how he figured out I was here in Vordona where it all started.

Class started but my head was in the clouds so I wasn’t all there with them that lesson, I spent the whole period staring at Jonah who thanks to my luck was sitting in front of me. After the bell rang for class to be over I confronted Jonah.

“Hey Jonah can I talk to you for a bit?” I asked. All the girls around him just stared at me while we walked away. “So how did you find me?” I said. Still wondering what I saw in him way back then. Maybe it was his beautiful grayish green eyes or his amazing body with his rippling muscles. Or was that he was taller than me and I had to look up at him to see his beautiful eyes, with his chin and amazing cheekbones in full view. And he always has his hair styled but messy looking. I was pulled out of my revere by him talking. ”I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He said. “You know completely well what I’m talking about.” I said. ”Why did you come here,” I said.

He just looked at me then he did something I never expected him to do. He KISSED ME! Out of know where kissed me looked deep inside my eyes and seen something and kissed me, and I let him. How could I let him, maybe it was the shock but that was no excuse to let him kiss me even for a second? Then I got my head working right and pushed him off of me.

As I was pushing Jonah off of me Luke was coming around the corner. Luke is my boyfriend and captain of the football and baseball team so he is always with at least one person from his passé preferably Brady his right hand man.

“Hey! What do you think you're doing with your hands around my girlfriend?!” Said Luke with rage and a very scary looking glare. “Sorry man I didn’t know this beautiful lady here had one boyfriend or friends.” Jonah said with a sheepish smile. That made Luke madder; he put his arm around me and pushed me behind him. Jonah looked at me and gave them a devilish grin. Luke saw the grin and got furious he started swinging at Jonah. I tried getting between them but was pushed aside. When Luke swung Jonah avoided very easily and that made Luke even madder. He gave a low growl and dove for Jonah. But Jonah was too fast and ended up on the other side of Luke so fast it was inhuman. That was when I knew I had to get Jake out of there. “Luke stop it!!”I yelled and lucky for me I was loud enough for him to hear me. I guess there is an upside to being captain of the cheerleading squad.  He looked up and gave me an expectant look. “Leave him alone he’s not worth it.” I said.

He nodded and I grabbed his hand and started walking off with him alongside me. Not looking back at Jonah but I could feel his devilish grin on the back of my head I shivered. While heading to my next class I wondered what Jonah will do. Will he let me live my “normal” life (doubt it).Or will he make my life a living hell, now that he has found me and knows my secret. What will become of me? All I could think of that day was Jonah, wondering what he would do.

”Hey dad how was work?” I said.” Hey baby girl, work was good how about you how was school.” My dad said as he kissed me on my forehead. “Um dad I don’t know how to tell you but we got a new student.” I said. ”Oh really who’s the new kid?” He said one eyebrow raised in curiosity. ”Umm that’s the thing it sort of kinda is Jonah Cambal.” I said. As I was saying that he was grabbing a plate from the cupboard, he stopped dead in his tracks and put it back. “Jonah,” He said. “Yah,” I said. “I think I’m going for a run.” He said. “Ok, but watch out for hunters and make sure to stay in the woods... later can we both go for a run I need one after today.”  I said. ”Yah later we can go.” He said. He got dressed in basketball shorts and a tee-shirt and left the house.     

After a while alone in the house I got bored so I got my keys to my G37 Convertible and went riding around the town. I live in a small town called Vordona population 5,698. As I was driving I saw someone that looked a lot like Luke so I pulled over and there was Luke all bloody I got out and ran to him. “Luke what happened to you?!” I said in shock. He just looked at me with pained eyes and a drooping posture. He looked at me for a while we stayed like that then he kissed me and I kissed him back. After he pulled back I asked him “What happened and don’t tell me it was nothing.” I said. He hugged me and all I could do was stand there and let him do it. After a while in silence “You need to tell me what happened.” I said. He let go of me and wiped his tears. He opened and closed his mouth like a fish gasping for water. After he carefully considered his words he began to speak. ”I-I’m sorry I didn’t mean to.” He said “What did you do,” I said. “She pushed herself on me I wasn’t able to control myself.” He said. All I could do was stare at him and stepped back getting my distance from him as understanding dawned on me.

“Who was she; I thought we were doing well what was I not good enough for you that you had to go with another girl!” I said. “I am sorry I didn’t mean for any of this to happen.” He said while he looked at me to see my reaction. All I could do was look at him with a total look of shock and pain mixed together plain on my face. I looked down and gave a sigh “I don’t know what to think anymore I can’t believe you could betray me like that,” I said trying to keep the tears out of my eyes. “Luna I’m sorry I…” “I think we should brake-up,” I said cutting him off efficiently. While keeping my head down not able to hold back the tears as an involuntary sob came out and that was my undoing. I ran off to my car looked back at him saw the misery and then I saw Jonah behind him. I looked into his eyes and saw the pain there, I don’t know what he would be sad about I was the one betrayed, but it was gone in a flash replaced with a look of nothing. I couldn’t get that glimpse of what I thought was pain on Jonah’s face out of my head. I don’t know if it was about, either that we broke-up or that I was completely miserable that Luke could betray me like he did. Getting in my car I drove to my house just remembering that I was supposed to go running today. So when I went in the house and into my room I was surprised to see Jonah, lounging on my bed looking at my pictures on my dresser of my parents and me before my mom died five years ago. Also there are pictures of me and my friend Layla when we went to Hawaii last summer.

“So how was it with lover boy,” He said. I snorted and walked to my drawer grabbed some clean dry clothes and walked into my bathroom, closed the door and locked it. While I was changing he kept talking. “You know it was despicable what he did with that other girl,” He said. All I did was listen not trusting myself to talk, because I knew I will either burst into tears that I was holding in or I would say something I would regret. So I stayed silent pretending that I didn’t hear anything. I looked in the mirror saw that my mascara was running I grabbed my makeup remover, went back to the mirror and started taking it off. After I finished taking off my mascara. I turned around and Jonah was right in front of me, I stepped back and ran into the sink Jonah started walking toward me he was so close to me that I can feel his warm breath and smell his musky cologne I can touch him with just a flick of my wrist.

I finally asked the question that was going around in my mind since the first time I saw him that day. “What do you want from me,” I said He gave me a devilish grin and said “What makes you think I want something,” He said. “Why else would you be here,” I said. “I liked the curriculum,” He said. “No not school and not town either, what are you doing in my room?” I asked. “Nothing I just wanted to see you but it is obvious you don’t want to see me though,” He said with that daring smile just like the wolf tried to deceive little red riding hood. “What else would you be doing here, after all this time after the war I left to get away from it and then you show up,” I said. He was quite for a while after a bit of silence I snickered and started to walk off saying “That’s what I thought.” He let me walk a little past him and then grabbed my hand and pulled me back I
