Being His Mate

Chapter 10

Waking up, I sat up and close my eyes, inhaling the sweet scent of mint.

Where did that come from?

I open my eyes and shiver, Why is it so cold?.

I glance at my balcony to find it empty, I scrunch my nose.

I stood up and went to my balcony, closing it.

Did I lock it?

I shrug going into the bathroom.

I looked in the mirror and sighed, the pimple is still there, It's my fault.

I didn't wash off the make-up last night. I should really take care of my skin.

I opened the shower and stripped off my clothes, stepping in, soaking my hair to my toes.

I got my strawberry scented shampoo and massaged my scalp, I rinsed it and put on conditioner, rinsing it also.

I used my shower gel and rinsed it off.

I turned off the shower and reached for my towel hanging outside, I rubbed my wet hair with the towel before tying it around my chest.

I stepped out and went to the sink, taking my toothbrush and applying toothpaste on it and brushed my teeth while thinking about life.

Nah.

I'm thinking about how I can steal Amanda's spotlight, she crossed a line that no one crossed before and no one should cross that damned line!

Should I blackmail her?

Or something?

I spit out the contents of my mouth and gargle with water, I cleaned my toothbrush and placed it back.

I went out if the bathroom and to my bed, sending Sophia a quick text to come here.

I went to my closet and wore my undergarments (I know you want me to say pantie and bra yo little pervs ;) ) and tied the towel around me, I took a long sleeved black shirt and wore it, pairing it with white jeans and blue sneakers.

I brushed my hair in front of the vanity and hummed when Sophia came barging in my door.

"I came as soon as you texted me, why do you want me here?" she asked while pointing at herself while sitting on my bed.

I placed my hairbrush down and applied concealer on the pimple.

"I don't know what to do to take revenge for Amanda."

I sound childish but bare with me, will you be happy when someone slapped you (well for me attempt slapped but you get the picture).

Sophia shrugged, lying down on my bed, like a sea star.

"You can steal her "Spotlight" when you change, look hotter than her, look better than her." Sophia tells me while rolling on my bed.

I shake my head, Too much work."

"Too much work my @ss," Sophia said while standing up and pulling me towards my closet.

Fuck No.

I stare at my reflection, "I am not wearing this to school." I tell Sophia while walking towards my closet to change, she gripped my upper arm and grinned.

"No you can't we're late for school and I'm sure you don't want to get detention." she smirked while I just groaned.

I feel like one of those girls in books where after she gets dumped or super humiliated, she'll not come to school for a week and come back all hot.

But I really think I am one of those girls.

But I don't need that much make-up because according to Sophia, I'm already pretty.

I mean, I know that I'm pretty. I'm not naive to think like "Oh em geee! I'm not pretty! I'm fake humble! Naw! Nah, Oh em gee! Who is that girl she looks not like me! Oh wait it's me! I feel pretty for once, Oh em gee!"

Believe me, I read books like that, the exaggeration included.

But really, while I stare at my reflection on my mirror, I look close to a sk@nk.

I'm wearing short jean shorts with fishnet tights under the shorts and a hanging blouse that stopped above my belly button and a red and black plaid polo tied around my waist with black sneaker wedges.

I'm only wearing concealer to cover up my pimple and freckles, and my hair is lose in it's curls.

Okay, Not that much of a sk@nk but I don't think showing off my legs and belly button is necessary.

I got my bag and we went out of my room, Sophia following along with me with this happy face.

"Don't push it." I say and we went down the stairs going straight for the garage.

I'll just get something from the vending machine when we get there.

I got the keys and went in, Sophia in the passenger seat.

"I wanna see Amanda's reaction, She might sh!t bricks, or sputter out a bunch of sh!t, whichever comes first." Sophia said, all giddy in her seat.

Actually, I feel kind of great today, I feel awesome.

But I really hope Amanda would sh!t bricks.

We parked in our regular parking area and I saw Amanda not too far, she's with her posse, gossiping.

I stepped out, taking my bag with me, Sophia stepped out too.

I slammed the door shut and we started walking to the entrance when Sophia called Amanda.

I sighed but then followed Sophia who's talking to Amanda, "Look, b***h—" I cut off Sophia by placing my hand on her shoulder.

I don't want to get detention this early.

"Oh, you're here." Amanda sneered and I raised my eyebrows at here. "Yes I am. Good thing you used your eyes this time and not your mouth."

Sophia started laughing and Amanda turned red.

I don't know if it's embarrassment or anger, maybe both.

"Shut up. You're just confident because you look "pretty" but darling, that's just plastic surgery." she scoffed and I started laughing.

"Thanks for the compliment and if your not stupid you would know that this is all natural, not like you, plus, if you had plastic surgery yesterday I shouldn't be here right now." I said raising my eyebrows.

I don't know where the confidence came from but I'm liking it so far.

She was about to pounce on me when a teacher walked past, "Go to class ladies."

All she did is huff, flip her hair and strut away, all her little minions following.

* * *

Dipping a french fry in ketchup, I placed it in my mouth and started chewing.

Sophia is bantering with Jax and I'm just here, watching.

That's all I can do while I'm here.

I'm sandwiched between Sophia and Jax in the table where Amanda sits glaring at me with one of her followers and a dude that's Jax's friend and Luke, the Luke I met at Jessica's party.

Yeah, surprisingly Luke transferred here for a reason I don't know.

But when Jax sat here with his friend, Amanda stood up and brought along her minion, glaring at me with her beady eyes.

Not really beady, her eyes are beautiful, a deep shade of brown matching her blonde hair.

But I would never tell her that.

Luke grins at me and I eye him curiously, why is he so nice to me? He only talked to me twice and while at that he kept touching my hand it's making me uncomfortable.

When I finish eating lunch I stand up and leave the table, I feel their gazes on my back but I ignore them.

I don't know why but there's this feeling in my stomach, like it's sinking and I feel sick.

It started a few hours ago in class but I just ignored it.

But now it doubled, nauseous, dizziness and pain on my chest.

I'm confused of what it is but I push it away, I'll come to the doctor later, or tell my father and ask him to call the family doctor.

I walk to class in a daze and throughout the whole day I'm like that until I drive home.

When I enter the house everything's quiet so I call out for my father, "Dad?" I ask while walking through the hall, I jump when I feel a presence behind me and I spin around to find my father.

"Should I call the doctor?" he asked and I nodded.

He must have seen my pale skin so I just went to my room and lied down on my bed.

I feel like I'm on fire.

What's happening to me?

The door opened and many people walked in and out of my room but seriously it felt like a movie in fast forward happening, all that I'm focused on is the heat around my body, the pain on my chest.

I no longer feel dizzy but I still feel nauseous.

A pounding headache added to my sickness and I groaned closing my eyes.

I felt someone holding on to me so I glanced to find a woman in a white cloak.

She must be the doctor then.

"When did you feel this?" she asked and I raked my brain for answers before shrugging. "I forgot, maybe after third period or something." I mumble slowly, bile rising to my throat.

She inserted a needle into my wrist and I curse from the pain, they're taking blood but I focus on my breathing to ignore the pinch of pain that's bothering me.

When the doctor finished asking questions and test she left without any explanation about my unnatural sickness.

This is the first time that this happened to me and I don't know what to do about my sickness.

So I just lie on my bed until I fall into sleep.
