Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

214–The Worst Day Of My Life

“Come on, quit playing. It‘s a serious matter,” Oswin jumped between us

to diffuse the situation. He turned to me and eyed me to go along when Thiago couldn‘t watch him.

“Playing?” Thiago asked. His eyes seemed to have been stuck on my face. He wanted me to agree to

only joke about it. But my emotions were so raw at that moment that I couldn‘t walk away from the truth

anymore.

Oswin lied to us once again: “They are fucking with us, but they don‘t even know how serious this matt

er is,” He was swiftly turning to each of us and eyeing us to not dwell on this subject anymore.

“Really? If this is not true, then tell us what

you were injecting in Oswin?” I pushed Oswin out of my way and asked Thiago

directly. Maybe it wasn‘t the best time to confront him in an academy full of innocents, but my heart coul

dn‘t bear it anymore.

“Why don‘t you let me inject it and then have this discussion?” Suddenly, Thiago pulled

another injection out of his pocket and asked me very calmly, yet creepily.

I shared a petrifying glance with Lazlo, who looked like he had seen a ghost too. Thiago had a pocket f

ull of injections that he was expecting us to let him introduce into our bodies.

“Yeah, let’s do that,” Oswin agreed with Thiago. I wonder if that fluid

had controlled Oswin now. He was acting way too calm and trusting of Thiago.

“We are not allowing anything in our body,” Lazlo spoke out loud as he nudged my arm

and came in front of me.

“Why? Do you not trust me, Enya?” From over

Lazlo‘s shoulder, Thiago looked at me, ignoring everybody else and focusing on me.

“How about you make us trust you? How about you give us a reason to trust you?” Lazlo was talking on

my behalf, too. I was only staring at Thiago shaking his head with a mixture of emotions.

“Guys! Please,” Oswin grunted at

us. He was anxiously trying to convince us to give that injection one try.

“Do you

not trust me, Enya?” Thiago asked again. He didn‘t bother paying attention to what else was going on i

n the room. His full attention was on me, and that was

making me uncomfortable.

“Okay! How about you let me inject this

in you?” it was only then Oswin grabbed the injection out of Thiago‘s hand and faced us.

“What is in it?” Lazlo questioned.

Oswin hissed, turning around to pass a glance to Thiago,

who had been frozen in his spot after I didn‘t answer him.

“Look! I am the one that fetched it, okay? Does that comfort you two?” Finally, Oswin revealed another

big mystery to us. It wasn‘t even Thiago who brought this fluid, but can we trust Oswin anymore?

“Enya! I am not lying.” Oswin said once to Lazlo, and I remained silent for too long.

“How do we know you are not under somebody‘s control?” I asked Oswin and secretly watched Thiago‘

s face, who sarcastically laughed at himself before lowering his face and biting his tongue.

“Because I am not. Just please let me inject this so that this mess could be over,” Oswin requested, wal

king in our direction.

“Fine, I will let you inject this.” Lazlo sacrificed, “Enya! Make sure you are attentive. If they try to control

me, you will know,” he whispered to me, but I am sure Thiago heard it because he

raised his face and added again, watching us with teary eyes.

I wasn‘t comfortable with Lazlo letting Oswin

fill his veins with that thing, but that was our only option, or else the conversation was not going anywhe

re. We needed Oswin on our side, so we had to give in.

Oswin stood beside Lazlo and injected the liquid into his arm. Once it was done, I watched Lazlo shake

his head as if he was getting dizzy.

“Now tell me, what is in it?” I asked once Lazlo sat down to cover his face in his hands.

“He will be fine. He is an Alpha, so he doesn‘t have to pass out or anything,” Oswin stated, taking

the lead.

“You think I was controlling

Oswin?” Thiago, who had been stuck in some other world, brought it up again.

“Not now. Let Enya

have this injection first,” Oswin eyed him, but Thiago only threw a fit and turned his face away from min

e.

“Lazlo!” I rushed to my knees and sat in front of him. “How do you feel?”

I held his hands and asked him. I saw Thiago turn to us again and watch us interact.

“Actually, I am feeling fine,” Lazlo removed his hands from his face and raised his face. He even looked

fine.

“Are you sure?” I confirmed, and he nodded.

“And I still think something is wrong with —–him.” Lazlo whispered as he gestured at Thiago.

That was to show he was not under

anybody‘s control. I was a little confused, but it proved Oswin was not under Thiago‘s control. So this fl

uid was truly something he fetched.

“Enya! Your turn,” Oswin said, holding it for me. I stared Thiago right in the eye before I stretched my ar

m out and left Oswin to inject it into me.

It

was a weird feeling. My body felt as if I was lifted into the clouds. Thiago rushed to give me support, but

even when I was dizzy, I pushed him away from me and let Lazlo hold me.

The hurt on Thiago‘s face was still visible even when everything else had turned hazy.

“Ahh!” I sat down on the bed to calm down first.

“Hey, are you okay?” Lazlo asked, and

I nodded to him. Strangely enough, nothing seems to have changed.

“You two think I was the monster who was killing everyone?” the moment I was back on my

feet, Thiago brought up the subject, but this time, he was much more open about it.

“You tw–” he paused, only to swallow the tears back.

“Yes! Because that is the truth. You were controlling Jessica!” I yelled after being silent for too long.

“What? No! He was pretending to be the monster!” That statement from Oswin

made us turn to him and watch his face in shock.

“He was pretending. I was aware of all of it,” Oswin made my body feel a weird

feeling of shock after hearing him.
