Bella's POV

After my alchemy class it was my turn to help clean up any spills and the work stations but seeing as most of the troublemakers were sent out there weren't that many spills; while I was putting away the wipe cloths I heard a faint tap on the corridor window, Damien waved at me with a grin, I could feel the envy from the other girls.

"Hey there, how was alchemy?"

"It was good, Mr Crowley nagged a bunch of us about specific measurements down to the very drop"

"Ahh~ I remember him, he gave even me and Liam hell you guys are in for a treat, you haven't seen anything yet"

"Yeah, thanks sooo encouraging" I rolled my eyes at him; I was about to drop my things in my locker planning to my dorm but there was an announcement on the PAS.

<<𝙱𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚊 𝚂𝚠𝚒𝚏𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚐𝚞𝚒𝚍𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚘𝚛'𝚜 𝚘𝚏𝚏𝚒𝚌𝚎, 𝙱𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚊 𝚂𝚠𝚒𝚏𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚐𝚞𝚒𝚍𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚘𝚛'𝚜 𝚘𝚏𝚏𝚒𝚌𝚎>>

I stared at Damien for a solid minute before thinking of whatever possible reason the GC had to call me of all people, not bragging but besides that incident with Ezra I have a pretty clean slate, I gave my bag and my leisure books to Damien and asked if he could take them to my dorm for me; The GC's office was a long walk from the Alchemy lab, so I had enough time to think of what reason I was being called.

When I reached the GC's office I was immediately asked to sit down

"First of Mrs. Hayes I know you probably heard of the incident with Ms. Bonvou and I am sorry for that"

"I did come to hear about that and I wasn't expecting that from you but that's not why you're here"

"Sooo I'm NOT in trouble?"

"Oh no quite the opposite I'd like to advise you on your academics"

Mrs. Hayes pulled out an envelope with my school ID printed on it and opened it up for me, it showed the full details of all my grades since I started my freshman year in Westcrow. I looked through everything but I couldn't spot any faults in my grades i looked back at her for some kind of explanation but she only gave me a gentle smile.

"What I meant was your grades are fantastic Bella, I'm surprised you're not already a diamond tier, but as with all things in life there needs to be some kind of balance"

"What do you mean Mrs Hayes?"

"What I mean is you join an extracurricular club or even join the student council"

"Me? but there's nothing I've taken an interest do you have any recommendations"

"Well a lot of the clubs are already full but I hear the volleyball and student council are looking for an extra member" 

"Okay then I'll try volleyball, maybe I'll enjoy that as a little hobby, don't know if I'll stay though"

"Hello there, are you looking for someone?"One of the girls asked, I had made it to the volleyball court and met with one of the girls who was practicing there.

"Yes I'm looking for the captain is she here?"

"Did someone call me!?" I heard a voice from across the room yell out, I looked over and I wished I could fall through the floor, the Captain of the volleyball team was the girl I almost smacked in the face with a nearly nine-pound ball.

"Oh you're the girl who almost sent me to the ER" She laughed

"I am so sorry uh. . . ."

"Maelyn. . . .Maelyn Park and you are?"

"Bella Swift, again I am so sorry for that day"

"No worries, I'm guessing you're here for the auditions?"

"Yes I am and I wanted to ask if. . ."

"You're in!"

"Huh?"

"Wait just like that? No audition?No questions?"

"Well you have strong hands for the job, but it's alright if you just hang around and practice, most just join to stay fit" I looked to the other girls behind for any kind of objection but they all just smiled like they all agreed with her decision.

Maelyn walked me through all the practice schedules, which were a lot lighter than I expected and gave me time to focus on my studying.

Normal POV

The day had come to a close with cleanup being put into the hands of other students allowing Bella to slip out and start her weekend earlier, she gathered her materials and books from her desk but a familiar tap on the corridor window drew her attention; Damien had made a very noticeable habit out of 'escorting' Bella after class he'd do this whenever he had a free period, before lunch breaks and at the end of school, Bella of course thought nothing of it but to the other girls in the class and an others who caught notice of this it was hot news for them to feed off of

The two were on their way to the girls' dorm until Bella remembered she had borrowed Liam's notes from his junior year to study and had to return them,

"Hey can we head back to the boys' side I need to give this back to Liam real quick"

"Of course"

They got to Damien and Liam's dorm and just when Liam popped out of his room he froze seeing both Damien and Liam.

"Hey Liam just came to return this to you it was a huge help"

"Yeah you're welcome, thanks for returning it with HiM"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Bella was practically clueless about the rivalry between Liam and Damien especially when it comes to Bella; Liam had no limits to how overprotective he was with Bella so much so that people have had some very PG misunderstandings when it came to the both of them, the only thing saving them was their similarity in hair color.

"W-well I think I'm done here, I'll head back to my dorm," Bella said after sensing the thick tension in the room

"Okay then I'll escor-" Damien tried to say before Liam dug his claws into his shoulders, "No.You.Will.Not."; The last thing Liam needed was for him to be alone with him in her dorm in his mind anything could happen not the case of being hurt.

"Damien. Winchester, what in Dianatia's name are you trying to do?"

"Just guiding your sweet little cousin from the harsh monsters in this school or at least as you say it"

"I don't need you of all people to 'guard' her she can guard herself but since you met her you've caused nothing but rumors and trouble for her"

"Listen, Hart, I've had my eyes on your sweet little cousin for a while and you know it, i bear no ill intentions towards her and you know that as well"

"I don't want to hear another word from you Damien"

"Listen Liam how long do you intend to play Big Brother for huh? we are already coming to the close of our third term in less than 4 months we will be graduating and taking on the duties from our fathers, you'll probably even get engaged"

"You!-"

"I'm only saying the truth, I'd rather let death take me than let even a drop of harm come upon her and you know that very well, so let me do what you have been trying to do, let me protect her!"
