18. Modern She-Devil

"We're gonna have so much fun together." Said Valerie, which was supposed to be towards the whole class, but the way she looked at Jasper, it felt like she was really meant it towards him.

Which Luna did not like one bit.

The raven-haired girl raised her eyebrows at the redhead as she flickered her gaze between her and Jasper. The look Valerie was giving Jasper made him uncomfortable, but at the same time, his gaze was still intense every time their eyes would meet. Just like Luna, Jasper didn't like the way the redhead looking at her.

"2 seconds more and you'll probably melt in her gaze." Luna mumbled under her breath as she refers to how Valerie would stare at the honey-blonde.

Jasper looks at Luna to see her glancing down at her notebook while the drawing random things with her grip on the pencil tight.

Luna's response only made the redhead smirk.

"Let's get started, shall we?" She said before proceeding with the discussion.

That one whole hour with Valerie yapping about history stuff was already unendurable enough. But then, she added the long stares towards Jasper and it made everything even worse.

When the bell rang for the next class, everyone took their time to get out of their seats which was an unusual occurrence since everyone always wanted to run out of class before they die of boredom.

But that's not the case today, and Valerie has a large contribution to that. Everything about her allured people so much that they almost wanted to stay there and never leave. Thankfully, they did.

Just as all their classmates went out of the room, Jasper closes the door before the next group of students could come in for their class. Luna stood just in front of the teacher's desk while Valerie looks up at her from her desk chair.

"Oh hi, Luna. What can I help you with?" Valerie asked as innocent as possible.

"Cut the bullshit." Luna said just as Jasper joined her side.

"Why are you here?" Jasper asked.

Valerie's light brown eyes averted from Luna to Jasper and the smile from Valerie's face widened.

"Jazz." She said as if she would break out in a musical number because of how she said his name. "I'm sure you already know from your mind-reading friend."

Luna sees how Valerie looks at her soulmate which fueled the anger inside her even more, allowing Jasper to sense the wave of fury building up in her.

"Okay, Lady Bug. Another question then. Why are you looking for Victoria." Luna asked.

Valerie couldn't help but narrow her eyes at the raven-haired girl because of the nickname that she gave her.

"She left me before I turned. Been searching for her for centuries and this is the closest that I've been to finding her. Does that answer your question, Skunk?" Said Valerie.

Luna raised an eyebrow at the nickname as Jasper stepped in to defend his soulmate.

"Don't talk to her like that." Jasper said rather angrily.

Valerie flickered her gaze between Luna and Jasper before she stands up from her seat.

"Right. She's your mate." Valerie said with obvious disgust.

"Soulmate." Luna clarified. Jasper couldn't help but side-glance the raven-haired girl. He was sensing a feeling inside her that he hadn't felt from her before. And he doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
