HOMEWORK
Nora walked into her room and Hyde attacked her with a hug. "I was so worried!" He let go and checked her for injuries. "You said you would be home yesterday! What took you so long?"
"I'm fine. I promise." Nora told Hyde everything about the demon they found. She was pretty sure that it was demon. He smelled terrible. The sulfur smell was strong.
Soren gave her some files and they talked about demons and the differences between them and ghosts.
"So, do they think that it is the same thing that took Willem?" Hyde was excited.
"Maybe but that means that someone is controlling it, Hyde. I don't know what it will take to stop this thing but I am doing research for them and helping them with the hunt. I know you don't agree. I'm sorry." Nora sat down.
"So, did you sleep with Soren?" Hyde asked out of nowhere.
Nora blushed. "What! No!" She wanted to but no.
"Sure. You spent the night with him in a hotel room and didn't sleep with him." Hyde wasn't sure he believed her.
"Well, two nights and no, I didn't. I wanted to but I'm too afraid. Hyde, I don't want to hurt anyone and I am not sure I can. I can't risk it. We talked all night. It was fantastic. He told me stories about growing up. He had a very interesting childhood." Nora said.
"We went over files and he taught me about demons. Different ways to kill them. I fell asleep in his arms."
"That sounds romantic." Hyde said that very sarcastically.
Nora laughed. "It was and it is none of your business, you know." She smiled. "We are dating." She sighed.
"I can't believe you are in love with a supernatural hunter." Hyde smiled. "I have to go. Work is calling." He left.
Nora spent a few days in the library and the city library also. She copied and made her own files. She spent nights compiling information and making piles.
There were a lot of missing people. This was fun for her. She had books marked at certain chapters and handwritten notes. She actually found a lot of information on demonology in the school library. Who knew that was a thing. Maybe she would take a class next semester.
She found the professor that taught the class and she signed up for it and two more. One was Latin. A lot of those books and spells were in Latin. It was almost too late but the classes weren't full. Nora was excited about this year. She spent the morning getting her schedule changed.
Two weeks later, school was back in session. Nora made her way back to her room. There was a present sitting on her bed when she walk in her room. She was nervous.
What if this was something horrible. A foot in a box or something. Okay. She read too many books. She picked it up and slowly unwrapped it. She took off the lid and smiled. It was all six seasons of The Lloyd Brothers: spectral hunters and a note.
I just added more homework. Don't work so hard.
S.
Nora smiled. She was taking a break from the research. Soren was here. In her room. She sighed.
She started with the first episode then watched the first season. He looked fantastic on TV. She binge watched all six season in two days. She loved that he got these for her. Poppy walked in somewhere in the middle of the series. Nora had started it over again.
"Uh, what are you doing?" Poppy had never seen Nora watch TV.
"Watching TV. What are you doing?"
"Uh, getting ready for a date. I can set you up with someone. You need a date!" Poppy smiled. "Unless there is something going on with Hyde?"
"No." Nora was annoyed. "There is nothing going on with Hyde. He is a good friend, Poppy. That is all. I am kind of seeing someone but I'm not talking about it yet."
"Still, Who?! S. still? You have to tell me!" Poppy sat on the couch. Begging.
Nora sighed. "You won't believe me." She hit the pause button.
"Sure I will. Who is it? Is that mystery person that you were talking to on the phone? The one that you stare off into space and think about instead of doing homework?"
Nora laughed. "Yes. Him." Nora pointed at the TV. She had paused it on Soren's face.
Poppy laughed. "Really? Come on, Nora. You can do better than that. Come with me. I have a guy that thinks you are cute. Come."
"No, really Poppy. I am seeing Soren Lloyd." Nora smiled.
"Okay. Suit yourself. Watching a TV series isn't seeing someone. You know that, right?" Poppy was a little worried.
Nora laughed as Poppy closed the bathroom door. She came out looking like 1970, as expected. "Come on. This is the first party of the year. Even Hyde has a date this year. Come on."
"No. I'm good. I have my night planned. Busy! I can't go out on a Sunday. Who schedules a party on Sunday? We have class in the morning!" Nora hit play and watched Soren trying to find ghosts.
Poppy sighed and left. "That girl is going to die alone."
