Chapter 48 (part 1)

With exams, debate, working for Wren and the business Cardan's year was full.

The debate team had lost in the finals taking second place. Many tears where shed especially Cora who really wanted to win. Shockingly it wasn't Mia who confronted her first but Cameron. She cried in his arms as he awkwardly tried to calm her down.

The junior team had won the majors cup for Junior competition much to the joy of the school. But they lost their third round in provincial. The school was still proud especially Ms Fan.

She was proud of both teams.

With exams coming up attention soon turned to the final year students. The school managed to obtain a 100% pass. The boot camp worked in their favour.

Cora was announced top student of the school and with her won scholarship she would be attending Dingbu university the best university in the country and its world ranking being #12 out of #100 universities.

"Wait you're going to DU too how did a swine like you end up there?!" Cora exclaimed in shock as she lost her cool. Her glasses almost falling of her face.

Ms Fan had arranged a small gathering for those doing debate and now they had all come in attendance.

Cameron tsked at her now having a permed mullet which looked oddly attractive much to Cora's dissatisfaction "Sorry an idiot like me made it to a famed school with such low marks" Cora flinched away at his words.

"...I apologize I lost my cool I didn't mean it" Cameron widened his eyes looks like she's changed a bit.

Scratching his neck a bit a looked away from her "...I got into the music program. DU doesn't just expect academically talented students."

"I see that now...as you already know I'm trying to change a bit" Cameron glanced at her outfit. She was wearing blue jean shorts with a yellow sleeveless shirt and white sneakers. Her hair was let loose which revealed her very curly hair one that muched that of ethnic westerners.

A far away call from her all business and non-nonsense style. She now looked more youthful, happy and...cute.

"...I can tell" Cameron replied. Cora blushed at his words for no apparent reason. Maybe she was becoming sick.

"Their totally into each other" Cardan said as he drank from his juice.

"Wanna bet how long it's gonna take for them to date" Alisha said as she took a sip from her drink next to Cardan.

"Why bet on them dating...when you can bet on them sending us a wedding invitation invite" Cardan replied as he began to crackel Alisha soon joined him.

"I like how you think" Alisha replied and soon they where both crackling like some evil geniuses.

"I swear they share one brain cell." Zaden said as he shock his head handing Mia a plate of food.

"You think" Mia smiled brightly at him as she took the food and thanked him. Zaden was completely and utterly blinded by her smile.

Clearing his throat Zaden looked away and hoped that she wouldn't notice his red ears. A weakness that Easton had pointed out and had never let him forget it.

He was safe for now since all three Cardan, Easton and Remy had of yet to discover how fast his heart beat every time he was next to her or around her. It almost felt like he was dying but he didn't hate the feeling.

Mia noticed his ears and couldn't help but want to hide him and keep her all to herself...bound and tied to her. Catching her thought process she wanted to slap herself.

She was such a pervert.

Sh should have listened to her sister when she told her not to read books about bound men. She had ignored her and it didn't disturb her life up until she one day returned to school and saw Zaden.

She returned home and burnt those books. Thinking of the cleansing she asked her grandma to do she felt better.

Due to him and Mia both being part of the junior team they would be be forced to spend time together. Much to the joy and horror of them both.

Again Alisha and Cardan didn't miss this. Sending quick glances to each that looked like evil looks to those paying attention they began to crackel again.

Cardan and Alisha became closer after they both discovered their equal love for spicy and sour food (not forgetting drama)...it was extreme so to say. Although she was older then him by a year Cardan and Alisha saw each other as twins. And the others saw them as the evil drama twins.

Spicy and sour.

A befitting name for the two much to the horror of Zaden, Cora and Ms Fan.

Alisha had now gotten rid of her bangs and opted for straight her. She was wearing baggy cut blue jeans and a green hoodie with headsets on.

"Cameron it's time to sing" Ms Fan said as she looked at her watch. They where at her house now and it was getting late. To ensure that they returned home early she called for him.

After the mistake of making the kids walk from school to the hall she saved enough money and the rest was given by the school after six months she bought a van that fit all the kids and still had enough space.

She was dressed in a grey dress a far call from all her pant suits. 'Where is she?' Ms Fan asked herself as she again looked at the time.

Cameron quickly moved away from Cora after he'd been staring at her for far too long.

"Ding Ding"

Cardan took his phone from his pocket and immediately moved for the door. Seeing this Ms Fan calmed down.

As soon as he opened the door Cardan saw a black car outside. The door was opened and a girl with dyed pink wavy hair, heart shaped lips , dressed in pink sweats and a pink crop top with white ends as well as pink sneakers.

"You're late" Cardan said as he made his way to her and offered his hand to her which she grabbed as he lead her inside the house.

"Better late then never right and I am the star of the show" Wren grinned at him which caused him to roll his eyes.

Wren joined Cameron on stage with Raymond who would be playing the drums. Soon they began to sing with Cameron playing the guitar and singing with Wren but his eyes where on Cora.

Wren's training and dedication had improved her singing to a 7 but her rap would remain a 11. That's how good she was adding dancing was unfair since it broke through the weighing scale. Her visuals the best combine that with her acting talent star energy.

Her and her group would be debuting during the following year of new year. With Wren as the youngest member since the others had been training for 3-5 years, something had never felt right until Wren arrived.

Her stage name was Ren although she wanted to go with goddess, queen and empress Cardan managed to push her away from her choices.

*It's our final year*

*Memories have been made together*

*But they will never be forgotten*

*Because you have been my true friends through out my stay*

*I will never forget you...*

*So instead of saying goodbye I'll say let's see each other again*

The song was a happy go feel and fresh song.

Cora nodded her head with the tune of the song. It was actually very good. But through out it all her eyes reminded on Cameron and his on eyes, as he sang his eyes lowed slightly as if seducing her Cora's heart began beating fast once more.

Marcus began dancing as well. He too had gone through a change, he had lost some weight and looked muscular with his large frame and although he was still shy he wasn't around his friends. Alisha saw this and pulled Zaden and Mia to the dance floor as well as as Ms Fan.

Cardan listened with pride. Wren's voice had improved a lot and he was proud of her and that he wouldn't have to see her frustrated to the point of tears it made his heart feel uncomfortable.

After he found out she was debuting he was happy for her but for some reason he also felt sad. He had realised that Wren had grown on him which shocked him.

"What are you talking about you're still going to work for me my dear peasant?" Where her words which left him and shock and as such she promptly explained to him.

She needed someone to run her fan page and he'd also be her online assistant. Which meant less sleep but he didn't mind for some damn reason.

Ever since she found out him and Remy had created a website for the restort she told him to create a fan page for her. 'After all he was her biggest fan' according to her.

Cardan feared what she would do when she would find that Remy was creating an app as well.

For now he would enjoy the day.

He joined in on the dancing.
