The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 68 - Sixty - Eight : What Is That Witch Brewing ?

Today was Friday and the hallway actively buzzing with discussions and students . All everyone could talk about was Caroline's house party.

"Why is everyone so excited? It's just a party" Lia wondered while Ben snacking on chips beside her snorted ridiculously

"Are you for real? This is a grand party considering all the popular kids would be there, you included " Ben explained in awe.

"Am I that popular? " asked Lia, brows drawn together in a frown.

Ben gave her a long stare before shaking his head sympathetically.

"What? " She asked, his strange stare making her uncomfortable.

"You my dear, need to have your brain reset " Ben mocked crudely.

Lia hissed at him but he remained unfazed by her momentary pique instead he continued his explanation.

"Trust me if you're not popular , I don't think the students would be staring at you with love emoji in their eyes "

Lia turned around and indeed, the students were staring at her in admiration .

"Take me for example" Ben stated " I'm rich, intelligent, tall, caring, handsome - what don't I have but still, they treat me like shit "

Lia cringed and almost gagged at Ben's definition of handsome.

As if to prove his point, one bulky student probably a football player intentionally rammed into him and growled

"Move out of the way, sucker " and hideously winked at Lia who rolled her eyes dramatically.

Ben pursed his lips "See? "

"I think you should add long-suffering to your attributes cause you my friend have a truckload of patience " Lia stated while Ben groaned inwardly, the girl was no helper at all.

Back at her old school even though she was being bullied , she tends to retaliate once or twice earning herself a peaceful one or two weeks before the whole ordeal begins again unlike Ben here.

She definitely can't exercise the kind of patience he has.

"So you finally admit you're rich? " Lia teased him

"What's so great about being rich? It doesn't make me more superior than a human being? " Ben shrugged nonchalantly but shivered when he saw the sleazy smile on Lia's face.

"I agree it doesn't, but now I can easily freeload on you without feeling guilty "

Ben almost spat blood, how could someone be so shameless? He was about to comment on her when Caroline and her minions suddenly intruded.

"Hi Lia " Caroline and her girls said in a chorus while Ben squinted suspiciously at them.

How long did it take them to practice that?

" Hi Caroline " Lia replied their greeting, less enthusiastic as them but they didn't seem to mind.

"I can't wait to have you at my party tonight " Caroline said with a dreamlike fascination while her minions giggled excitedly

"Yeah, me too " came Lia's less zealous reply.

"I'll introduce you to all of my friends, they'll be so happy to finally meet you " Caroline rambled on " And uh - make yourself presentable alongside your servant " She said pointing at Ben with her manicured finger like some sort of disposable item.

Lia's countenance darkened " He's not a servant but my friend " She corrected sternly.

For a moment, Ben thought he saw fear flash through Caroline's eyes but she covered it up with a cheeky smile

"Sorry, my bad " She apologized and approached Ben who couldn't help but take a step back instinctively.

But he was startled when his back touched a body and he turned only to realize Alexa and Linda, her minions were behind him halting his movement.

Ben was flabbergasted, when did those two crafty creatures get behind him?

As if that was not enough, he flinched when he felt Caroline's hand on his cheek as she brought his face towards her.

With a sweet smile that sent shivers down his spine, she tucked a wayward strand of curly black hair behind his ear, bent and whispered

"You don't look bad but make yourself presentable cause we'll have so much fun tonight "

Though her words sounded innocuous yet ambiguous, Ben couldn't help but feel an infinite number of hidden swords heading his direction.

He could only swallow deeply and nod to her request rigidly.

"Alright matters settled, see you guys tonight" Caroline chirped and left with her minions, purposely blowing a kiss to Ben eliciting cheers, ooh's and wow's from the onlooking students.

Ben was speechless; he just stared mouth agape, what's this witch brewing this time?

Lia cleared her throat beside him, wearing an ambiguous smile as she said " I never saw that one coming "

Ben rolled his eyes and threw his hands in disbelief " Not you too? And don't tell me you're planning on attending that party? "

Lia stared?questioningly?at him, not really understanding his sudden change of mind.

"Why not? There's free booze and food" She added "Not to mention, my mom's not there to supervise me "

Ben literally smacked his face " I don't trust Caroline "

Lia gave him a funny look " You don't trust anyone around me save yourself " She retorted blandly

Ben didn't know whether to cry or laugh, she has really formed an opinion of him.

"You don't understand " Ben tried to explain getting in her way " I have a feeling she has something up her sleeve. She might do something to you tonight "

Lia stared at him blankly for a while before bursting into laughter. She laughed so hard tears slipped from her eyes and her stomach hurt while Ben stared at her with a peeved expression.

"What's funny? " He asked sternly, arms folded across chest.

"You seem to have forgotten something " She laughed and moved closer to him before whispering into his ears

"I'm a supernatural, what's the worst she can do to me?"

"Decapitate you? " Ben suggested

"Funny but I don't die " She proclaimed hauntingly and walked into her class.

"I hope so " Ben breathed and followed on after her.
