Life beyond you

Chapter 4

After a whole day of non-stop classes, it was finally time to head home. This time I walked with my head facing down to avoid noticing the gazes of people around me. It seemed rather smoother than walking with my head up.

I was about to reach the main entrance when I felt a warm hand holding my arm. I turned back to look, and there he was again, Nicole Madden. "We are in the hallway; can you please not touch me?" I whispered to him silently, trying not to draw attention to myself.

"I noticed you're an introvert."

"So what does that have anything to do with me?" I inquired in a husky tone, trying to make him leave.

"Well, it's pretty simple. I hate introverts, and I do everything in my power to make them an ambivert or full-time extrovert."

"Well, good luck with that. " I pitched in the high note before removing his hand from my arm and making progress to the gate.

"Maybe this will change your mind." I heard his voice from behind. He had such a blubbery mouth. I was about to reach the hall when I suddenly felt an arm around my waist. I looked back to see Nicole Madden holding my waist with his left arm. I was about to scream, but he immediately shut me up with a kiss.

I couldn't believe it; his lips were right on mine, and his tongue awaited the feel of mine. I slowly opened up for no reason, establishing a French kiss. His hands moved slowly from my waist down, cupping my ass slightly. I wanted to protest, but my mind and body said other words.

"Now what's your name?" I heard him say as he ended the kiss with his left arm still on my ass.

"Nova... Nova Whitlock," I managed to say, looking straight into his eyes.

"See you tomorrow, Nova." His voice sent waves of fulfillment to me as I turned to walk out of the school premises. As planned, the driver was right there in the driveway, waiting for me to sit my damn ass on the chair.

Upon reaching the mansion, I rushed into the house, greeting my mom and Nicholas. My bedroom was the next checkpoint, and within a few seconds, I was down on my bed, squealing as I remembered the incident with Nicole.

"Maybe this will change your mind." These words of his kept playing in her head along with the kiss he had given her.

Who would have thought something like that was going to happen on her first day in school? Even though I was exceptionally beautiful, I had never once kissed somebody, much less a guy I just met. I must be going crazy.

I couldn't sleep throughout the night. I wanted to see his face once more and maybe have a decent conversation with him, maybe after he could give me another kiss or two. What was I kidding? He kissed a girl right in front of me and also promised to take me out of my low-key life, which was more like he promised to torment me. It seemed I landed right in front of a bully.

The next day, I was filled with delight as I sought my way to school. Breakfast wasn't an option if it meant mom was cooking it; she didn't know how to do a single thing except fight and romance. What a weird relationship!

School was far more filled than before, with everyone taking their time with friends. I skipped through them, avoiding everyone until I got to the hallway. I headed to the field at the back of the school, where we were to have our physical fitness class. Surprisingly, it was a joint class.

I rushed to the narrow end where the teacher couldn't easily spot me and took a position with my PE wear, which was a red jogger and a black top with a long sleeve.

The activities commenced with various body exercises and an unlimited strength test. When I thought it was all over, they descended on us, pairing us in groups of two for a challenge. The challenge was to determine the strengths of the students, and I was the weakest among them all.

The teacher began matchmaking with the words "one boy and a girl per team." I wanted to be alone all by myself. I wanted to be disentangled from the others, but they just won't let me. "Nova Whitlock," I heard him call my name out loud before approaching me. "Yes, sir, how can I help you?"

"Well, you'll be helping me if you listen to the instructions."

"Okay sir"

"So you are to be paired with Nicole Madden?"

"Why him?" I asked the man. He took off his glasses, staring at me like I had done something surprising.

"Are you telling me that you are rejecting the offer of Nicole Madden, the most handsome and strongest werewolf in this school.?"

"Is there a problem with that?"

"Yes. Do you know that his father is the Alpha, and you get a once-ina lifetime opportunity to go into their mansion?"

"I don't care about that.".

"It's so unfortunate."

"Why'd you say that?"

"That's because, at the end of the day, everyone has been paired together, meaning you are with him for life.".

"What a piss off! ?"

"So... is she the one I'll be practicing and growing my skills with?" Nicole rushed in with his black top on his shoulder and his six abs unveiling themselves.

"Ok, her, yeah. Her name is Nova Whitlock; she's a weak gamma.".

"Does this mean that I get to go to her house for training?" he asked the teacher, who was still amazed by my utterance.

"Yes. You guys are free to visit each other and train together."

"Great. That means we're both leaving for your house today."

"What?"

"Yeah

, just me and you all alone in your bedroom"

"You give me the creeps".
