Witness

School. Studies. And Secrets

We arrive in the school parking lot 15 minutes before the bell. Leo's still mumbling to himself thinking up ways to apologize without it ending in bodily harm. It's unlikely. Grabbing my bag and books out of the car next to a sulking leo we make our way over towards the front of the school where our friend Killian was waiting for us. Always the cool dude at six foot with arms that look like he came from a body builder and the stare he gives most kids, as well as not being big on convo, well nobody who didn't already know him probably doesn't want to.

Good thing we did and although looks really help when you dont want people messing in your business that's not really why we keep him around. Not only is he an ally within the pack he's also my left hand man, he's the brain of most of are operations. He makes quick decisions, incredibly strong at defense, and knows his way around words which would make him really popular if he ever spoke to people normally. He takes his job seriously the pack always comes first, I respect him for that. Jogging up the stairs to him we slap hands and half hug finishing off the greeting.

As we enter the school doors we see Cal the last member of our group leaning against the lockers chatting with a bunch of younger wolves in the pack. Cal is probably the playboy of the group for sure, although Leo is definitely popular with his boy next door charm, Cal is the cool bad boy of the school and definitely one of the most dangerous if Killian is the brains then Cal is the cloak and dagger of our troop. He specializes in spying and covert ops, gathering intel and although we try to never resort to it if it can be handled in other ways but he's the one we look to if we need someone to talk and their being a little less than cooperative. As well as taking out the threats we need handled quietly so the humans in town won't dig to deep. It helps that his moms are two of the best police officers this town has ever seen. As he likes to point out he learnt everything he ever needs to know from them.

Cal sees us heading his way and starts to disperse the crowd that was blocking our lockers. "whats my guy got planned today?" Leo says as he opens his locker and starts rummaging through his bags. "moi?" Killian just smirks knowing damn well that Cal was the type that loved to put on a show. I shake my head as I finish switching out my books for the ones I'll need for my morning classes. "So come on man seriously what was with the crowd of pups earlier? Leo kept prodding. He turns and gestures with wide arms like he's performing at a show. "Gentlemen gentlemen. This morning I received word of a challenge against me and my boys at my all time favorite game. Capture the flag. I ask who sent the invite Cal responds. "Of course its the omegas like always, but boy do they must love losing. This must be the third challenge this month. I was telling the pups earlier to make sure to come watch the omegas get defeated spectacularly. What do you say boys, wanna get our hands dirty?" Leo starts laughing and hollering in the hallways getting looks from students walking wondering what was going on. I look over and see Cal with a s**t eating grin covering his face and even Killian look excited not that he showed it.

It might seem like just a game to most, but take regular capture the flag and throw in some werewolves with the minds of teenagers and it gets 20x more extreme. Honestly I could use some fun tonight especially with that meeting coming up. As we start discussing battle plans and strategies the second bell rings telling us we'll be late if we dont hurry, nearing the lecture hall Killian and I have that first period, so we say bye to Leo and Cal as they walk down the hallway still excited bout the game to come. We're about to walk inside when I get the faintest whiff of something. Smells like Jasmine and pine, then its gone before I could even tell Killian. That smell though was so familiar I don't think I can get it out of my head.

We head to the back where we normally sit, only to find some people in our seats. We simply move to the middle row for the day, it didn't matter much anyways there was just better air conditioning by those seats and Killian wasn't great with heat, puts him in a bad mood.

Taking our seats the professor walks in and starts the lesson. Halfway through class I get that faint smell again, like its flickering on and off. This time it lingered enough for me to ask Killian if he recognized the smell, he shook his head no smelled familiar but nothing special really. Then in a flash it was gone again. Finally the lesson was over and we start packing up to leave and were piling out of the hall when the scents back. This time I follow it I just can't get it out my head I need to know why it calls to me. I grab my books and bag and start making a dash through the students as quickly as I can."Carter?" I hear Killian calling out from behind me. But all I can focus on is that smell. I'm out of the class and pushing my way through the sea of students rushing for their next class. I can feel it the smell is starting to fade and I suddenly hear my wolf to start to whine. Then it was gone and I was hit with the realization that my wolf just reacted which can only mean that smell must be connected to my mate.
