30.76% His Human Mate / Chapter 83: Chapter 77: Voting of Committee Members

บท 83: Chapter 77: Voting of Committee Members

It was the first day of the school semester after that quick break the last weekend.

Oz had left town, together with Latham and Roel accompanying him, back to the mountain. They brought with them the rogue. As to what the bear shifters will do to the rogue, the Kendall pack has no idea. They didn't ask Oz much about it.

With the new semester, the lives of the young shifters were about to be more busy.

They started off with an Open Day for potential new students who want to enter next year.

Homeroom was about to start and everyone was inside their classroom, talking and laughing while waiting for their homeroom teacher to enter the class.

Shortly after, Mrs. Harris walked in with a bunch of papers in her arms.

Everyone went silent when she walked in, heading towards the teachers' table. She placed the papers on the table, picking one up as she read.

Amber propped her chin on her palm as she waited for Mrs. Harris to speak, yawning as she didn't have much sleep the previous night.

Erick, too, had his chin on his palm, watching dreamily at the girl in front of him, much to the jealousy of one female, sitting a few tables away from them.

Mrs. Harris looked around at the class and began her speech. "Hello, boys and girls. Welcome back to the new semester. I hope you all enjoyed your breaks!"

Grumbles reverberated around the class as the students quietly complained about the short break and the many homeworks that they have to do.

Soon, grumbles became noisy chatters as they began to talk about what they have been doing during the break.

Mrs. Harris immediately clapped her hands, trying to get their attention.

Once they had settled down, she cleared her throat and continued, "So, to start off the new semester, the Burkendall High School will have an Open Day where we will open the school to the public. Each class will host an activity to showcase whatever you want. Either a food stall, a play, games, etc."

She looked down at the paper she was holding and said again, "I will need two volunteers from this class to be on the committee."

She then looked around the class and asked, "Any volunteers?"

Mrs. Harris began to frown when she saw that no one was volunteering. Some were avoiding eye contact with her. She cleared her throat and suggested, "Why don't we have a vote for whom you choose as the volunteers?"

Voices of agreement echoed around the room as the students nodded.

"Alright. Let's begin. Any names?"

Soon after, names of their choosing were called out. However, one name was mentioned a lot and that was Hamish's.

Hamish frowned as he listened to people choose him to be one of the committee volunteers. He doesn't mind volunteering for the committee. He then looked at the guy sitting beside him and sighed inwardly. If he was going to be busy, who would be able to take care of this guy?

An idea emerged in his mind as he slowly smiled. He quickly raised his hand and said, "Amber."

Both Amber and Erick turned to look at him with disbelief on their faces, wide eyes.

"Why the heck did you say my name?" Amber hissed angrily.

Hamish just ignored her as he crossed his arms across his chest, leaning against his seat. A look of satisfaction on his face.

Just then, Erick raised his hand and said, "I'll join too if Amber and Hamish joined!"

Mrs. Harris frowned at him and said, "As much as I am pleased at your eagerness to volunteer, Mr. Kendall, however, I'm afraid we only need two volunteers."

Few minutes later, the voting was done and as a result, Hamish and Amber were chosen as the committee members, on behalf of their class. Erick looked disgruntled as he muttered under his breath.

It was then he thought that even if he can't join them, he will stick to those two. It was not that he did not trust Hamish working alone with Amber but he did not want to leave it to chance that Amber might have to spend more time with Hamish than him.

Once it was over, Mrs. Harris left the class to them, telling them that they should now concentrate on voting what kind of event that they want to host. She told both Amber and Hamish to submit the proposal to the Student Council by the end of the week.

After Mrs. Harris left the room, the noise level of the room began to increase once more as everyone in the class began to talk excitedly with each other. Some suggested making a food stall, selling cakes and pastries. Some suggested doing a play; Macbeth or Romeo or Juliet. Some suggested creating games, for example, a haunted house.

The students were all discussing what kind of event that they wanted to do that they did not notice Amber already writing on the board; (1) Eating Competition (2) Cooking Contest (3) Food stall.

Erick, who had his eyes on Amber, chuckled when he saw what she was doing. He thought it was kind of adorable.

Hamish, who was facing the class, did not notice what Amber was doing. But when he saw Erick looking at her, he turned around. He let out a sigh as he rubbed the back of his neck, watching as Amber wrote her choices.

He leaned against the teachers' table, crossing his arms across his chest and said, "So, if it's a competition, there will be prizes as well?"

Amber nodded vigorously, looking excited.

"What's the prize?" Hamish asked.

"Food coupons or free meal tickets at the school cafeteria!" she said, writing them on the board

Everyone in the class burst out in laughter while Hamish rubbed his hand over his face.

He immediately walked over to her side and erased the prize lists.

Ignoring Amber's complaining and whining from behind him, he turned back around and asked everyone to vote. With narrowed eyes, he continued by threatening them that if they do not start voting right at that moment, he will just choose whatever, regardless whether they want it or not.

Just before the bell rings for the next class, they finally decided on doing a Japanese cafe, which got Amber all hyped up.

She walked together with Dana, telling her of the food that she thought would be perfect for the cafe. Erick and Hamish followed them from behind since the four of them have the same class after homeroom.

Erick actually does not have any opinion about the event. Whether it was a Japanese cafe, a stall or a play, it did not matter to him. If truth be told, he had never attended any of the school events, other than sport games. Last year when they had an Open Day as well, he skipped the event by spending the day with Latham at his workshop. His parents were furious about it as they wanted him to be more involved with any school activities. They couldn't blame Latham at that time either. It was because the latter had no idea about Open Day.

Looking at the excited look at his beloved mate's face, he smiled. He will ensure to make this Open Day a fun day for her.

Climbing up the mountain, it took them a few minutes faster than before. Since Roel has already memorized the map of the mountain like the back of his hand, the journey there was smoother.

On the other hand, for Noaz, it was his first time joining them in this journey but it wasn't that difficult for him to follow the two.

Few minutes later, they arrived at the entrance of the tunnel that will lead them to the bear shifters' abode. The rogue was bundled up roughly underneath Oz's arm like a rice sack, using ropes soaked with wolfbane liquid. Hence why only Oz was able to get near to the rogue.

When they finally got out of the tunnel, Storm, Levi and Atticus were outside the tunnel, waiting for them.

Storm walked over to Oz and slapped him on the shoulder. "Welcome back, brother."

Oz grinned and nodded. "I'm back, brothers."

Roel nodded hello to the three brothers.

Noaz stepped forward and introduced himself.

Storm then invited them into their house to have a talk. Levi and Atticus, however, went to the back of their house, along with the rogue.

Inside the house, both Storm and Oz went to discuss with Noaz and Roel. Noaz told them of their findings.

Storm's face turned grave as he listened. Since the warlocks were involved, this does not seem like it only involved the werewolves but also other shifters.

Added to the fact that they have the guts to go into their territory shows how they were not afraid of the consequences.

After much discussion, the two parties agreed on cooperation. The bear shifters will update them whether there's more activities happening in their territory whereas the werewolves will update them on any new discovery from other packs.

With this, the partnership with the bear shifters had gone smoothly.

Aw! Open day! Sounds fun! Can't wait to see what adventures await these young ones will have when that day arrives!

บท 84: Chapter 78: We could be in love

"Amber!"

Amber turned around and saw Erick and Hamish approaching her.

School has just ended and she had just finished doing a quick study at the school library when she heard her name being called.

It has been a couple of days since Hamish and her were voted as the committee members of the Open Day for their class. Although Erick wasn't a member, he always joined them for the meeting.

He would keep quiet, sitting next to her during the meeting. There were times he would just hold her hand and snooze quietly as the meeting goes on. Not that the other committee members from other classes would complain. In fact, most of the female members don't mind him being there as it's not always they get to see the school eye candy.

Though, there was one time Erick did get involved. It happened during their first meeting.

At first, there was a bit of a commotion and argument about their class choosing a Japanese stall. Apparently, the anime club in the school has also chosen that as their stall. They had told Hamish and Amber to change.

Amber was a bit upset when she was told to change their stall.

Seeing this, Erick frowned deeply and turned to glare at the protesters.

Apparently, with just one look, the many female fans of Erick could detect his displeasure and scolded those who protested against Hamish and Amber's choice of stall. These protesters then backed away. They could not be able to out-argue his fans since there were more than half of them in the committee.

That day, they were going to have another meeting, in regards to the budget for each class. Because once the budget has been settled, they can begin with their decoration and setup. It was crucial that they have to discuss the budget immediately so that each class will have more time to decorate.

All classes will be cancelled to make way for the students to decorate. But clubs were still ongoing.

Hence why Amber looked confused when she saw the two of them standing before her. From what she remembers was that they had told her before school started that they won't be coming to the meeting. They had football practice.

"What are you guys doing here?" she asked.

Erick grinned as he grabbed her hand. "Practice got cancelled." He then pulled her gently, heading towards the classroom where they will be having a meeting. Hamish followed them from behind.

When they reached the classroom, students from other classes were already inside, sitting and talking among themselves.

Erick walked in first and most of the female students started to turn and stare at him with dreamy eyes. Some even called out to him, ignoring the fact that he was holding hands with Amber.

Erick just smiled and went on to look for seats. When he found one, he immediately pulled Amber to sit next to him. Once she settled in, he slumped over the desk, while playing with her fingers. It seems like he was ready to fall asleep at any time.

Hamish grabbed a seat nearby and sat next to Amber on her right.

The chairperson of the committee was their senior who will be graduating soon. His name was Krys Williams. Although he was not as popular as Erick, he was well-liked by most people in school. He was friendly, smart and good-looking.

When he saw that everyone had settled in comfortably, he began his talk, thanking everyone for coming to the meeting. He then opened up the discussion of the budget.

Talks reverberated around the classroom as each student gave their opinions, including Amber and Hamish.

The discussion lasted for nearly an hour until they finally decided on a figure. Although it wasn't much, they can still earn it back from their stall sales. Hamish also encouraged the other students who were present in the meeting to use their own pocket money. He added that it would be more fun if there was a vote for the best stall.

He further proposed that they should get an agreement from all the faculty bodies in regards to the competition. And that it would be great if the teachers themselves would like to donate for the prize, making the competition more exciting and hyped.

Krys agreed with his proposal and asked whether Hamish would like to do the proposal to the teachers.

Hamish nodded.

Erick peeked through his eyelashes, looking at Hamish and sighed inwardly. Sometimes Hamish is too hard-working for his own good. He closed his eyes again, still holding Amber's hand.

They then discussed what kind of prize would be good for the competition. Some suggested stationeries. Some suggested movie tickets or amusement park passes for the class. Amber suggested an all-you-can-eat buffet at one of the restaurants in town.

Must to Amber's disappointment, they decided on amusement park passes.

Amber pouted. Why would they want to go to some amusement park? It's just some place for kids! Sure, it would be fun but it's more fun to sit down and have a meal!

She glanced at some of the giggling girls a few tables away, who seemed excited about the prizes.

It was then she remembered one of the rumours of the dancing fountain there. Truth be told, it's not that the fountain was dancing, but rather, the water from the fountain was designed to move around as if it was dancing.

The rumour was that if a boy and a girl meet up in front of the fountain during sunset and they confess to each other, they will be together forever.

Amber squinted her eyes at them. Surely it's not because of that, could it? That sounds like something from a manga [1]. So cliché.

She sighed as she leaned back against her seat.

Erick, who was still holding her hand, noticed her mood and frowned.

In his mind, Dane growled at him to go and make her happy right at that moment.

Erick ignored the angry growl in his mind and gently tugged on Amber's hand, trying to catch her attention.

Amber looked over and saw Erick looking up at her, with a gentle smile on his face. "What's up?" she asked.

"Are you disappointed because of the amusement park?"

She just kept silent. She did not want to look childish nor petty.

"Don't worry. I heard there's a nice food court over there. When we win, I'll bring you there," he promised, using the word 'when', instead of 'if' as though he was confident that their class will win.

Amber grinned. He really does know her well. "I'll look forward to it."

He grinned and murmured softly, "Me too."

-----

That night.

Amber was in her room, drawing on a paper, as she tried to design their Japanese cafe. On the floor, in the trash bin, there were piles of crumpled papers. She has been working on the design ever since she got home. Though, she did manage to eat her dinner before continuing on.

With a pocky stick in her mouth and her hair tied up in a high messy bun, she looked like one of those authors who are working hard to meet their deadlines.

She was so engrossed in drawing that she did not realize that there was a text notification in her mobile phone. It was until she jumped from the ringing of her phone. She looked over and was about to answer when the ringing stopped.

She picked up her phone and saw that both text message and call were from Erick. 'Hmmm… I wonder why he called?' she wondered as she opened the text message.

Apparently, he had sent a playlist link to share.

She clicked on it and smiled when she read the playlist name; 'Especially for my Amber'.

Shortly after, she could hear voices that were silvery, smooth and clear drifting in the air. It was soothing, in a way. And it was so beautiful that Amber was a bit stunned at first, listening to it.

She placed her pencil down as she immersed herself in the singing.

'Anyone who's seen us

Knows what's goin' on between us

It doesn't take a genius

To read between the lines

And it's not just wishful thinking

Or only me who's dreaming

I know what these are symptoms of

We could be in love' [2]

When the music stopped, Amber blinked her eyes. She touched her cheeks and was surprised to feel that it was wet.

Soon after, there was another message from Erick. The message simply reads,

'I'm completely in love with you.'
