I am in legacies

"Penelope Park" she said her name as she was walking away. Jacob looked at her back, then touched his lips for a sec, then he smiled.

"I need a walk too. It's time to explore this school," Jacob mused as he ventured outside.

Exploring every corner of the school, he lost track of time. As he stepped outside, he was taken aback. "This place is enormous," Jacob muttered to himself, glancing back at the passage he had just traversed. He realized that when he began his exploration, the sun had barely begun its descent, but now, as he emerged, the night had already taken over the sky.

"fuck, instead of getting to know people and chasing girls, I wasted my time running around this place." Jacob groaned.

Just as he was complaining, he heard someone's footsteps coming, he turned and saw a familiar face, Landon. Walking his way with that dejected Walking pose. 

Jacob look at his Walking, he chuckled and thought "he somehow weirdly remind of a chicken".

"Yoo… Landon boy, long time no see." Jacob called to him.

Landon looked up and saw Jacob, a smile appeared on his originally bothered face, "Aaa man, is good to see you. How are you?"

"I'm alright man, Honestly this place is awesome man. I'm happy I'm here" Said Jacob, if he didn't meet Landon by chance, he wouldn't be admitted to this school.

"yeah?, well, at least one of us is being treated good, unlike me, can you believe later today they all accused me of being one of the monsters, like ME! Jacob" said Landon, aggravated about how he was excluded and treated today.

"Really, what did Hope do?" Jacob inquired, noticing Landon's distress. However, Landon just looked down in silent frustration.

"Ooo…" That's all Jacob could utter after catching the hint from Landon's expression.

"Argh, doesn't matter anyway, I'm not a monster and I'll prove it!" said Landon, trying to boost his spirits.

Jacob didn't know what to say, so he simply looked at him with pity, silently observing him without intending to respond.

Landon couldn't bear it and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that, man? You're being creepy."

"Because you look pitiful, man. Like a lost puppy. I feel sorry for you," Jacob replied, with a straight face.

Landon laughed a little "wh—" before he could finish his words, he saw Hope coming to them. His smile disappeared, replaced with frustration, he said goodbye to Jacob and took off.

"Hii Jacob " said hope with a smile, trying to hide the sadness of seeing landon avoiding her.

Jacob looked at hope for a sec, sighed then said "what did you shameless bastards do to that poor boy today?"

Hope let out a chuckle, before explaining today's events to Jacob.

"Wow, what an adventure you guys had," said Jacob. 

"Yeah, but still two innocent lives were lost" said hope sadly.

"Well, there's nothing you could have done either way, so better forget about it" Said Jacob while biting down his nails with a nonchalant expression.

Hope was surprised by the attitude of Jacob, "how could you say that so casually, does it not bother you that two innocent students died because of us supernaturals?" Asked hope.

Jacob, still biting his last nail, answered without thinking too much "if one of the Salvatore students died, would they care?"

"That's not the point, we sh–" before hope can finish her sentence, Jacob Intervened saying 

"It does matter to me, why should I care about someone's existence if they do not do the same in return, my life is way too long for me to do that stupid shit."

"Or at least I plan to make it be" he thought as he sauntered away from Hope, his thoughts racing ahead of his steps. Putting his hands behind his head as he casually strolled back. "I'm feeling hungry. Where can I find Josie?" he mumbled to himself, leaving Hope standing there, startled by his abrupt departure.

"Hey!!" Hope called out, catching up with him, she rebuked Jacob " you can't just leave in the middle of a conversation with someone, that's rude."

"Aa, I thought we were done talking. You know, you shared your condolences, about how sorry and sad you are that two innocent or whatever students died and I made it clear I don't care. Plus I'm hungry now, gotta find Josie." Jacob said and continued his walk, looking for Josie. 

Hope high pitch voice came shouting "but I'm not done talking " 

Jacob looked back and said "Oo.. okay, talk, I'm listening, you talk, while I walk. You know talking walking " He carried on, showing little interest in an ongoing discussion, focused instead on his quest for food and Josie.

Hope looked at this weird guy speechless, it was the first time in a very long time she met such a shameless guy. But she kinda liked it, It felt oddly refreshing, it reminded her of her primary school, the normal life she used to like before the chaos of the supernatural consumed her life. The simple arguing conversations that drive you crazy but you enjoy having them. A smile curved the corner of her beautiful lips and just as she was about to talk.

Jacob swiftly interrupted " So you know where Josie is, NO?" he asked, blinking his beautiful pure eyes, awaiting an answer without skipping a beat.

Hope felt a wave of emotion knocking on her heart, she suddenly had an impulse to beat this guy badly. But she calmed down her impulse, breath in and out.

She said with a charming smile "I believe this is the first time we truly meet, I'm Hope Mikaelson, a tribrid. "

Jacob looked at her and her smile for a few sec, then he said "so you don't know where Josie is?"

Hope paused, A little lost. But Jacob continued "Aa man, what a waste of time. I'll just go to the cafeteria and find something to eat" He took off running, leaving hope there.

As seconds ticked by, a surge of radiant magic burst forth, transforming the serene night into a gusty whirlwind around Hope. Leaves swirled, branches rustled, and an eerie breeze whispered through the trees, all fueled by Hope's mounting frustration.

"That shameless jack," she groaned, her voice carried away by the rising winds. Feeling a mix of irritation and exasperation, and other emotions because of what happened today, she needed an outlet for her pent-up emotions, so she headed into the woods to vent the steam building within her.

The night came, Jacob was lying down on his bed, thinking about today.

"I wasted my time running around this place instead of getting to know other students and chasing girls. There's gotta be a better exploration spell or maybe I can come up with something relying on my past memories," he mused.
