Birthday boy

*Sam's POV*
I feel sick. Well, not actually sick but like, my stomach is in knots. I usually meet Nadia after school and we're supposed to spar today but I'm too anxious. What if she's my mate? Or worse, What if she's not my mate? I've loved Nadia for as long as I can remember. I didn't mean to fall in love with her. It just happened. One day, I was relocated to this shitty town and the next thing I know, I'm head over heels for my best friend. I'm not stupid, there's no way I deserve her. Especially not after everything. But maybe she'll forgive me? Maybe I can convince her to take me as a chosen mate if I'm not her mate already. It may not be that common but it's not completely unheard of. I can't imagine loving anyone but her. Or having a mate that's anyone other than her. I can't live without Nadia. I won't. I just have to find a way to convince her to stay with me.
Ah s**t. School is over. I shoot her text that says, 'hey, sorry I had to bail after school. Can't spar today so we can start tomorrow. '. She replies almost immediately. 'Ok. We can spar before I take you out for your birthday!' And then she sends me the smiley emoji. My heart melts. I don't know what I'm going to do if she's not my mate. She's perfect. I'll just have to convince her. And I think I have just the plan.
