Gia's indecision

Gia walked into the secondary gym, which usually no one was using at this time of day, and saw a scene that left her speechless. 

Luke was in the center, and around him, more than fifty 25kg discs were orbiting. The disks were moving at a moderate pace around him as if he were a planet.

'Whoa... In all those disks, there must be more than a ton, right?' thought Gia in amazement. Her gaze focused on Luke. Specifically on his bare chest and abdomen. It seemed that because of the training, he decided to take off his T-shirt.

Luke, noticing Gia's arrival, had all the discs neatly back in place within seconds. At this rate, he would need to buy more discs from Larissa.

"Hey, Gia. Looking for me?" asked Luke, walking towards her.

"Luke!" said Gia, running and jumping towards Luke to hug him. 

"You need to control your strength a little more. Werewolf strength is no joke," said Luke with a slight smile, catching Gia.

"With your strength, no problem," said Gia with a little smile, and she started to kiss Luke.

'That's not what this is about...' Luke thought. No matter how much he trains his muscles and strength, he will never reach the physical strength of a werewolf, even if she is a half-normie, half-werewolf. He can beat her with his telekinesis by directing it into his arms. It's like an enhancer, but he doesn't win at our base physics.

'If this is a dream, I don't want to be woken up,' thought Gia, increasing the intensity of the kisses. 

Never in her best dreams would she imagine she could be in a relationship with Luke Poe. A crush is a love that seems impossible, but here she was. Kissing Luke like she was his girlfriend. Even though they hadn't made it official yet.

From being a person no one remembered her name to a popular person overnight. 

"I'm all sweaty," said Luke, pulling away from Gia.

"I don't care," said Gia, wiping off some spit.

"You have a nice smell. It'll be bad if you get my sweaty smell. Anyway, what were you looking for me?" asked Luke, ending the kissing.

Gia pouted, but Luke didn't notice as he was drying his sweat with a towel and drinking water. 

"In two days is the harvest festival! I was thinking we could go... You and me..." said Gia nervously. 

'Oh, the harvest festival. It's already that time of year,' thought Luke. 

"Fine by me," replied Luke. Anyway, it was mandatory. Although, he might not go since Larissa read his mother's letter telling him about the Spellmans. So she wouldn't force him to attend if there was a danger of him being attacked.

'Natasha is still looking for the whereabouts of the clues. I have to research the events of the series,' Luke thought.

"Great! It'll be our first date outside of Nevermore!" said Gia with a big smile. After hearing what she said, she put on a startled expression and looked at Luke.

"What's with that face?" asked Luke in confusion.

"It's a date, right? I mean, if you don't mind?" asked Gia, playing with the fingers of her hand.

'Why all the fuss over a date?' wondered Luke internally. They already gave each other countless kisses, and Gia spent a lot of time in his bedroom. Just recently, on Halloween, the two of them had a movie marathon, staying awake and sleeping together, even though there was no sex.

"Yeah, sure. I'm going to go take a bath now. Do you want to join me?" asked Luke with a slight smile.

Gia's cheeks turned red as tomatoes, "N-no, thanks. Talk to you later, bye!" said Gia, stuttering and leaving the gym quickly.

'How cute,' thought Luke.

"You've become quite the Don Juan," commented Edgar with a smirk. As Luke's trainer, he was always present at his workouts and had witnessed the whole scene.

A year ago, it would have been impossible for Luke to interact this way with a girl, but he has improved since summer vacation.

"Shut up," Luke said with a grimace. He forgot that Edgar was there. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made that embarrassing comment. You could say it was very Normie of him.

"There's a killer on the loose at the harvest festival again. Still, will you go?" asked Edgar. If Luke wants to go, he won't forbid it. If an assassin attacks him better. He can become stronger through battle. He never trusted the strength of one of his descendants that much.

"I will go. That way, they'll poke their heads out," Luke replied. He knew it wasn't about the Spellman, though. This was about Hyde being controlled by a normie.

Although the Spellmans might try to assassinate him again, like last year, if so this time, he will get evidence so the fuckers won't get away with it.

In last year's Poe Cup attack, the Spellmans crossed the line. They committed a terrorist attack on a school full of outcasts. However, as Luke had no tangible evidence, his story was just that. Just a story.

Luke had told the police officer about Sabrina and that she was a Spellman, but the officer could do nothing as there was no evidence. He even told him a piece of information that puzzled Luke.

According to the cop, the Spellmans did not have a daughter named Sabrina Spellman, who possessed two auras: red and orange.

If Sabrina returns to Nevermore with her henchmen, Luke this time will get proof, so make sure the lying bitch can't get away with a teleporter.

'Rowan will carry out his second assassination attempt on Wednesday, and that same night he will die at the hands of the Hyde. That's if everything happens like in the series' Luke thought without much confidence in this. 

If Rowan tries to confront Wednesday to assassinate her, Wednesday may end up assassinating him. Luke realized that this Wednesday is much stronger and colder than the one in the series. If someone tries to assassinate her, she will not hesitate.

As Wednesday's group mate, he is the person she socializes with the most, and that's saying something. They barely converse. The goth girl has very few words. But when she speaks, be prepared for what she's going to say, because she doesn't waste her breath saying stupid things.

Luke noted that Wednesday is a full-fledged loner. Everyone is afraid to approach her. As if her gaze could murder you. Luke barely talks to her in the group they have in Psychic Powers II. 

'I can try to save Rowan... From Hyde or Wednesday,' Luke thought. He wasn't doing it because he liked his psychic classmate, he was doing it so the crazy normie wouldn't have limbs for the ritual to revive Crackstone. 

Besides, if another Nevermore student dies, it will put the school in a tough spot, and Luke gets along well with Larissa. He knows all the effort she puts in for the school and the outcasts. He can make some effort to keep Rowan from being killed.

...

The day of the harvest festival is here. Today is the first day of the two total days. 

"How do I look?" asked Gia, who had done her hair and makeup.

"Perfect. I'm sure Luke will be charmed," said Erika, giving a thumbs up.

Today would be the first harvest festival that the two of them would not spend alone. She implored her friend to accompany her and Luke, and they ended up agreeing. 

"I hope Luke's friends are handsome," Erika said. The main problem for her was their age. She didn't like boys younger than her. Even if it was only two years.

"Xavier has a girlfriend, and Ajax seems to be starting to date a girl," said Gia. This she knew, thanks to Luke.

'Alone again... Well, if nothing else, I'll be with popular, though more boys than me,' thought Erika, feeling depressed. 

"Why the worried look on your face? I should be worried, not you," said Erika, looking at Gia, who was playing with her hands and had a lost look on her face.

"I was thinking if I should ask Luke to go out with me," said Gia, unsure.

"Go out with you? You're already dating," Erika said, not understanding her friend.

"Not dating like that. Dating, dating. You know," said Gia, and somehow Erika understood what she meant.

"Oh, you talk about making their relationship official. Well, you two had already been kissing for over a month, and you were going to his room... Yet you can't do it yourself! That's a man's duty," said Erika, pointing her finger at Gia.

"It's the year 2021," said Gia.

"It doesn't matter! You can't do it yourself. You'll look desperate. I know you're afraid of another girl catching his interest, but you have to hang in there. What you can do is that," said Erika, lowering her tone on the last sentence.

"That?" asked Erika.

"You know... sex," said Erika in a low tone. 

"Of course not! We have to be boyfriend and girlfriend first. My first time can't be that unromantic," said Gia indignantly and a little embarrassed. Even though she liked Luke, she didn't want to have her first time with a guy she'd known for less than three months.

"How innocent you are. Do you think when Kat did it with him, she knew him inside out? They most likely met that same night," Erika said with a dismissive smile.

"If you take that long, he'll lose interest in you. You know how guys think, especially popular guys like him," Erika pressed.

"Don't say that... Luke's not like that. He wanted to do it before, but I stopped him, and he didn't get mad," Gia said, a little unsure. Her friend's words had swayed her a little.

As Gia spent time in Luke's room. They were alone, and Gia did like making out, so Luke wanted to take it to the next level. His last relationships with girls were like this, kissing and then sex. 

'Indeed, an amazing self-control...' thought Erika. From what Gia was telling her, she knew how clingy her friend was and that she was making out with Luke. That a man with rumors of womanizing could control himself and not send Gia to hell for not wanting to be respectable.

"Well, do what you want. If you trust him, do it. You know him better than I do. Come on, we don't want the bug to go away," said Erika, taking Gia by the arm and walking out of the bedroom.

'That doesn't help at all!' complained Gia internally as she was dragged away by Erika. She was now very undecided on how to act with Luke. What she didn't know was that this night would not go the way she expected it to.
