Chapter The Truce (Let's Start Over)
'Every friendship travels at sometime through the black valley of despair. This tests every aspect of your affection. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff. Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over, Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.'

So lost they were in each other's gaze that they didn't know what was going on around them.
The whispering around them as every student couldn't tear their eyes off them.
Rae realized how close his face were inches away from hers, so close. Does he want to kiss her?
Should he kissed her not? Jason thought as he stared on those enchanted lips of Rae. He then remembered her first wishes, he had promised her he would try to love the unknown girl yet.
A clearing of throat brought then back to present.
Blinking their eyes, Jason and Rae both turn to look at the intruder who just disturb them and saw Sarah.
Jason growls loudly, his growls shook the whole school as he stared at Sarah with a deadly look.
"In as much as I love what is going on between the both of you, you guys are seriously creating a huge scene right now with the way some of the students and teachers faces are here." Sarah said and quickly went behind Rae's back when she told them, Jason's stares were fearing her, if looks could kill she probably be six feet down with her skin cut into many pieces. "Oh and I think there was something you want Jason to do you remember, right Rae?" Sarah added in Rae's ears and ran off as fast as her legs would carry her without looking back until she entered the history class where Jorkallun was already in.
The speed she had used in entering the class made Jorkallun thought at first it was a vampire.
What was chasing his beautiful one? He nearly cough out loud when he realized his thoughts. Did he just say 'his' in a possessive way? Jorkallun couldn't tear his eyes away from Sarah as she was breathing hard as if she met Lucifer and had run away from for her life.
She looked very beautiful and he has to admit within himself that he had started to love her.
"What's chasing you?" Jorkallun decided to ask as he knows his intense stare towards her was very creepy and might freak her out. His calm face perk with curiosity as he awaits an answer
"Jason." Sarah answered after gaining her breath.
Something steer inside of him, when he heard Sarah mentioning his name. He couldn't deny the fact he was jealous. Anger swirled like a red tide within him, rising to choke him. His breath became harsh and shallow, his hands automatically curl into fists at his sides, itching to swing out and put a dent in the wall behind him. She was his girl and has no right to say someone's else's, especially a boy, name apart from his.
He was much drawn to the girl now than before and he couldn't hide it. He was very possessive of her suddenly and will kill any boy who dares says a simple 'hi' to her. He wasn't like this with Lolly, no, he allowed her to do whatever she wants, but what he felt with Sarah was totally different.
He wants to claim her forever as his. His dragon wants her badly.
Sarah might have seen his expression because her next words seemed to strangely calm his jealous side a little.
"Jason and Rae were about to kiss and I interrupted them. I have to run for my life and come here." Sarah said as she finally sit down.
Jorkallun didn't know when he smiled staring at her.
Rae looked around them and saw all the students looking their way, some in envy, others in admiration and the rest, mostly Lolly's friends stared at them in hatred, especially on Rae.
Lolly wasn't in school, she had stormed out of the school in anger when Jason had told her to get out.
Rae turned her head back to look at Jason and noticed he hasn't taken off his eyes from her. It felt good as she blushes the more when she realized Jason's hands on her waist, it gave her hope, maybe he loves her as she does to him. She couldn't deny their chemistry between them, but in as much as she loves to remain here, in his arms forever lost in his gaze, today was the day she wants Jason to beg his long lost friend for forgiveness and hopefully, Jorkallun forgives him.
"I think Sarah is right, come on, let's go and meet him." Rae finally said breaking off the silence that was still engulfing around them.
Jason nodded his head and realize his hold on Rae's, he didn't even remember when he had held her waist. If Sarah hasn't interrupt them, by now he would have tasted Rae's lips he had so much dream off. He started thinking of a hundred ways to murder Sarah without anyone suspecting him.
It pained him when he shifted back to give themselves space.
"You are right Rae, but on a serious note, you are beautiful with your hair down, I like it." With that Jason left her going towards the class Sarah had just entered a few minutes ago, snarling at the students who ran into their various classes. Rae smiled and touched her hair with a dreamy face, Jason like it? She would have jumped up in happiness if not for some students that were still lingering around staring at her.
Rae sighed in a happy way and jogged to meet with the handsome boy. If he loves her hair like this, then she will always let it down but her stubborn side decided against it, tomorrow, she's going to clip her hair in a ponytail and feel Jason's hands on her hair once again.
Catching up with the handsome boy walking side by side, they entered the history class together.
Rae was surprised when she saw the smile Jorkallun had on his face as he ignored the students coming in to sit down in their various seats.
"Everyone out of this class right now!" The booming voice of Jason alerted Jorkallun of his presence, he had carried away by the thoughts of Sarah.
The students started leaving the class as Jason has commanded. Turning to face Sarah who hasn't moved. "Including you pest." Jason said thinking of a thousand ways to kill her as he glares at her.
Sarah who had badly wanted to witness Jason beg her crush couldn't hide her crestfallen face as she stood up to go. She wished Jorkallun would asked her to stay.
"She stays."
The voice made her stop in her tracks as she turned to look at the owner of the voice, which was her crush. Did he just asked her to stay? Was she dreaming? Jason turned his heated gaze to Jorkallun as his eyes soften once it landed on his best friend.
"Sarah stays." Jorkallun repeated again still staring at Sarah so that she would know he was referring to her. "Whatever you want to say, say it because she isn't going anywhere, she's also Rae's friend." Jorkallun added and tore his eyes away from Sarah's and looked at Jason with hardened eyes. "What do you want?"
Rae didn't escape the look between Jorkallun and Sarah and she knows Jason saw that. Jorkallun was the one Sarah was talking about. She was standing beside Jason staring at his lips, she couldn't help but fall more deeply in love for the white haired boy, she wants to feel Jason's hands around her again.
"Rae." Jason's voice broke through her thoughts.
"Yes."
"I have been calling out your name for the past two minutes and you have been staring at me." Jason said with a smile.
"What is it?"

"I want my conversation here to be private, but I don't think it will happen because of some stupid set of people who wants to poke their noses in my private life." Jason said as he looked at the students standing near the class window. "And why are you tell me?" Rae asked in confusion.
"Because you're the only witch amongst the four of us, do a spell or cast one that will make them not to hear whatever we are saying in here." Jason responded.
Oh, she understands now.
Closing her eyes, she breathed in and whispers a silent spell that only made her lips move.
A white line suddenly appeared all over the four corners of the class. It was a special spell that her grandmother had taught her to use when she really feels the need No one, not even another witch can be able to break off that spell. Opening her eyes, she congratulated herself for her handwork.
"It is done, now out with your words Jason." Rae said with a brilliant smile.
Jason saw the students looks and guess they wouldn't hear them. "Thanks my witch..." His eyes widen up a bit when he said that. "I mean Rae."
Smiling as her heart flattered by his words. "No problem."
Breathing in deeply, he returned his gaze to Jorkallun. He has to say the first three letter words before anything. "I am sorry." He waited for Jorkallun response but was not getting any, he wouldn't blame him, so he continued. "I am very sorry Jorkallun, I betrayed our friendship and hurt you very deep. I know I'm probably the last person you want to hear from, but please hear me out. I don't know where to start so I'll start with this; I'm really upset that our friendship is gone and it's made me miserable for the past years. I hate fighting, especially with you. My mistake ruined our friendship and I don't know how to make things right between us. Knowing that I did this to my best friend kills me. I don't know what I was thinking and I hate myself for it. Our friendship is too valuable to me to end over this. To find another friend like you would be impossible, Please Forgive me Jorkallun, let's put the past behind us and start over again." Jason said in sincerity as he stared at his best friend, hoping his apologies were accepted.
"Why did you do it in the first place?" Jorkallun voice asked, he was only doing this for the sake of Rae.
Instead of coming up with a flimsy excuse, he decided to tell the truth. "It was my mother, she was dying." Jorkallun was very surprised and shocked when he heard that, even Sarah wasn't left out.
"Queen Rosa was dying? What happened and why doesn't everyone knows so that we can pray for her to recover?" Jorkallun asked as he forgets the anger he had for Jason at the moment.
"We woke up one morning and my father and I find out she couldn't move any part of her body nor talk. Tamara was called and she asked us not to reveal her illness to the whole Supernaturals. We did as we were instructed, but her illness became worse. So one day, after Tamara had given her herbs, she came out of my mother's chamber with a written note which states I have to get married to Lolly." Jason said. "And I have to do as she said because it was stated in the written note that was her last wish for me. I couldn't ignore the note and so was my father, I had no choice than to do as she asked, that was when my engagement party with Lolly was carried out. I should have told you but Tamara says I shouldn't, telling anyone apart from the royal family and servants, my mother illness would increase, I am sorry I hurt you Jorkallun."
Hitting a desk in her front like a drum, all eyes turned to Rae.
"Well this is when the drums starts playing as we all await Jorkallun answers."
Jorkallun laughed out and Jason looked at him.
"Listen, Jorkallun," Jason started nervously as the laughter died down. "Do you think we could start over? Or make a truce? Please."
Jorkallun raised his eyebrows. "A truce, between us?"
Jason nodded his head. "I am sorry if I hurt you." He said and stretch forth his hand with the yellow rose flower. "This is a sign for Friendship and a new beginning for us. If you accept it, it means you have forgiven me wholeheartedly, if you do not, it means I am not forgiven."
Jorkallun thought about it, it wasn't Jason's fault. If the reverse was the case he would do anything to keep his mother's last wish. So it wasn't really Jason's fault.

Smiling, he collected the flower and he stood up from his seat. "Thank you. I have forgiven you Jason."
They hug themselves. "I am sorry buddy."
"Shhh it's okay, I completely understand. I missed my best friend so much." Jorkallun said in all smiles.
The entire school were now at the window, staring with wide open eyes as they saw Jason and Jorkallun hugging.
Jason and Jorkallun back together once again?
They couldn't believe their eyes.
Jack was speechless by what he saw, what he and the teachers couldn't achieve to bring back the friends together was done by a stubborn tomboy girl? King Roen has to hear it.
The boys smiled at themselves as they put some distance away from each other. "How is your mother health now." Jorkallun asked in concern.
"She is now better than before." Jason responded smiling and looked at Sarah, he was still angry at her. "Don't tell anyone about my mother illness, only the four of us know." Jason warned, he trusted Jorkallun and know he wouldn't say a word, but for Sarah, he couldn't tell.
"Yes I promise." Sarah promised.
"I am happy both friends are back together."
Rae said happily and went over to hug Jorkallun.
Jason couldn't help but curled his upper lip to keep himself from speaking when he saw Rae hugging Jorkallun. Why Jorkallun and not him? His mind whirling with thoughts that only made him assume the worst. The feeling of jealousy was slowly growing into his skin, filling his blood.
"Thank you Jorkallun for accepting my friendship back, Rae isn't the hugging enough or do you want a group hug from pest and I?" Jason asked in sarcasm. Leaving Jorkallun holds, she turned to face Jason with a smile.
"I hope you will bring flowers for my friend who I want you to fall in love with, bring the red roses, she will love it." Rae said still smiling. "And it is not you Sarah."
"For your friend?" Jason asked with a raised eyebrows as he crossed his arms on his chest. Rae nodded her head doing the same, crossing her arms under her breast. "I just realized that there are no more flowers in the garden, the one I gave to you and Jorkallun are the last ones."
"Oh, something tells me you're lying."
"Well tell that 'something' to mind its business."
"You promised Jason, and you are bringing her the roses, simple."
"I won't as long as it's not you, there are no more flowers bonehead." Jason said walking towards her in a predator look and stopped in her front.
"I know there are still flowers in your garden brainless." Rae said giving him that same look.
Their lips almost touched.
