Chapter 3
935 Words
When John was done grabbing everything he needed, we walked together to math class.
Mr. Black, our bald and awkward teacher, liked to mutter to himself and randomly take walks around the classroom.
Me and John sat by each other in the middle, waiting for class to began, talking to each other.
"This is serious Emerald, if he's not your mate, you can really get hurt."
I rolled my eyes," he is though."
"I know you think that, but I also know deep inside, your scared that maybe, just maybe he's not your mate."
I sigh and managed a weak smile," it's true. I do feel like that, but john, I feel like he makes my life complete. I-I can't imagine where I'd be if I never met him, isn't that enough to just know he's my mate?"
He smiled sadly at me," well, you'll find out tonight. If his wolf rejects you and runs off, than your not his mate. If his wolf let's you help him, and gets closer to you, your his mate."
"I know, I know, my dad taught me everything."
"good."
Riiiing!
The bell rang signaling classes to began.
"Alright, let's see who's here," muttered Mr. Black.
He liked to go down the attendance list randomly and not alphabetically just to throw people off. He said it's 'Sneaky'.
"Blake?" he called out.
A black-haired guy in the back replied," here."
"Lindsay!"
"Here."
"Emerald?"
"here," I answered.
"John!"
"here," he spoke from beside me.
"blade!"
"I'm here," muttered Blade, steeping into the classroom.
The teacher sigh," your late."
"I was busy," shrugged Blade.
"take your seat."
Blade walked forward and took a seat right beside John.
The humans in the classroom all muttered about how unfair it is that he didn't get detention.
They didn't know that it was because Mr. Black is a werewolf from our pack.
Giving Blade, the alpha of the enemy pack, a detention, would cause unnecessary problems.
Suddenly, the door opened again and a brown haired girl walked in.
"Hi," she muttered to the teacher," I'm jasmine, the new student, sorry I'm late. I got lost."
Mr. Blake nodded," It's alright. Take a seat."
Jasmine took a seat beside me, placing her books on her desk.
"Class, welcome our new student, Jasmine. Emerald, can you be her buddy for the day and show her around?"
I nodded," sure."
I turned towards jasmine and shook her hand," I'm Emerald."
She smiled," pretty name."
"thanks."
The rest of the morning drifted away quick and before I knew it, lunch began.
I walked with jasmine towards the lunch room, making sure to show her classes on the way.
When we reached the cafeteria, I saw Jared in line, ordering food.
"do you see that guy over there," I said to jasmine, pointing at him.
She nodded," yeah."
"that's my boyfriend."
"is he your mate?"
"oh your a werewolf?" I asked.
She nodded.
"um cool. And we're gonna find out if we're mates tonight, when he shifts."
"but don't you just need to look into your mates eyes and know?"
I clenched my jaw and forced myself to smile," yeah well, we're different."
I saw her eyeing Jared a little longer than necessary which caused me to clench my fists.
"Are you sitting with us?" I asked.
She smiled, tearing her eyes off of Jared," um no. I wanna go to the library."
I nodded, secertly glad, "oh, too bad, Bye."
I watched as she walked away, annoyed that she had clearly taken an interest in Jared.
"Emerald?"
My eyes snapped towards Jared, looking concerned in front of me.
"yeah?" I asked.
"you okay?"
"yeah, it's just this new girl that likes you."
He chuckled and led me to our table," well, tell her I'm taken."
We sat down and he handed me a burger and a can of lemonade which he'd bought.
Sometimes, it feels more like we're married than dating.
I thanked him by pressing my lips to his cheek and digging in.
Soon enough, the table become full with John, lisa, Hanna, jack, Steve and mark.
Everybody chatted amongst themselves about parties or whatever.
Hanna and jack were too busy fighting, as usual.
"i didn't kiss her, she kissed me-" jack was trying to explain.
"La la la la," shouted Hanna to block out his voice, pressing her fingers against her ears and chewing her gum loudly.
I turned to Jared.
He popped a fry in his mouth, staring back at me.
"what?" I asked
"today is Friday," he said.
I nodded, stealing on of his fries.
"I'm taking you out on a date."
"a date? What kind? Like the usual?" I asked," a dinner and movie?"
"no, I'm taking you to a fancy restaurant," he smirked," it's my birthday
I took my hands in his, swooning mentally.
"how fancy?"
"so fancy you'll have to wear a dress."
"and you'll wear a tuxedo?" I winked.
He nodded, smirking wildly.
"okay," I grinned, unable to contain my excitement," what time will you pick me up?"
"seven?"
I nodded," sounds great."
"Are you exited?"
"for you to shift? Yes!"
"no, I mean for us to finally mate."
I swallowed back the sudden lump in my throat, pushing down the fear the surfaced," y-yeah."
"are you afraid Em?"
"no, it's just, I'm nervous."
He nodded," I understand, but I have no doubts."
I smiled, swooningly, losing all my fear.
His lips met with mine, causing my head to spin.
We pulled back and at the corner of my eye, I caught Jasmine, standing at the double doors, watching us.
