The Cursed Mates

Clumsy girl

I walk into foreign language class and sit down in my spot from yesterday. Some other students are coming in as well. I spot Miles walking in, he looks tense. Then he looks at me and relaxes. Was he worried about me?

Then I see Samantha rub his arm lovingly. I guess not he must of get aggravated about something and she helped calm him down.

Stella comes running in with Ryan. “Jo you gave me a heart attack. Are you okay?” Stella whisper yells. I start chuckling. “Yea I’m fine just got a concussion and my broken nose is fixed.”

I hear Miles growl. Everyone turns to look at him and he’s looking at me. Did he hear what I said? But why would he care? Samantha turns to see where he is looking and spots me. She starts giving me the death glare and then caresses Miles face. He just turns his face to look at her then smiles lightly.

Wow that was weird. Why would he growl about what I said? “Well thank goodness you are okay. Stella has been nonstop worrying about you!” Ryan says while relaxing some.

“Sorry guys I’m not used to all this training. Hopefully I’ll get better soon. If not Mr.Brown might fail me.” I sigh and turn to look out the window into the forest.

“The forest isn’t safe for you little wolf.” What did he mean? Am I endanger? Why wouldn’t I be safe? So many questions.

The rest of the day was great. I got to hang out with Stella and Ryan some this afternoon before it was time for bed. Ryan is actually super sweet and funny. He reminds me of my childhood friend Elijah back home. I need to remember to text him tomorrow.

“Little wolf why do you smell so delicious!” I jump awake. Feeling my core tighten and sweat dripping down my forehead. Well looks like it’s a cold shower for me today. I sigh and get off the bed to head to the shower.

Training was brutal this week even if i didn’t have to spar. My body feels like jelly and aches. “How are y’all still standing I feel like my body is about to give out?” I whisper to Stella during basics.

“Sorry Jo we are just used to training everyday. It will get better I promise.” Stella gives me a small smile. “Jozette a word please! Everyone else water break before sparring!”

I sigh and walk over to Mr.Brown. “Jozette you should be doing better than what you are. I don’t care if you were lazy and didn’t train. I will have no choice but to flunk you if you don’t win a fight by midterms. If you want to graduate you need to improve. Do I make myself clear?”

“Crystal clear Mr.Brown!” I snap back. Mr.Brown just gives me a stern look and nods his head. I’m so frustrated and mad. I’m trying not to cry. I just turn and walk out since I don’t get to spar.

I hop in a hot shower letting the water rub over my tired muscles. Ah this feels nice. I begrudgingly get out the hot shower. I wrap a fluffy towel around myself and go to my closet. I pick out my usually outfit. Black crop top with black skinny jeans and vans.

I walk to the cafeteria and grab my iced caramel macchiato with extra shots of espresso and a blueberry muffin. I collapse in the chair and start eating my muffin.

I miss public school it wasn’t this tedious. I didn’t have to train to fight. We just ran laps or just played volleyball. I didn’t have guys who made me flustered like this either.

I get up to throw my stuff away. I pull out my phone and text Elijah “Hey E I miss you!” After hitting send I run into someone and spill my coffee all over myself. Great why do I always end up with drink spilled all over me.

I look up to see Samantha staring daggers at me and Miles just looking at me. “Hey clumsy girl watch where you are going.” Samantha yells. I just smile. I mean i am clumsy ain’t nothing wrong with that.

I guess she didn’t like that I took that without getting upset. “When I’m Luna I’ll make sure clumsy people are not around. I mean how can you be a warrior if you trip over your own feet:” Samantha just laughs. “That’s enough Samantha.” Miles says sternly. Samantha just gives me the death glare and they walk away.

Guess it’s good that I’m not in their pack. Im not sure what she would make me do or would do to me. “Jo you don’t know. Maybe he won’t pick her.” Luna chimes in listing to my inner thoughts. I sigh. “Well Luna clearly I don’t belong here.” Luna huffs. “Jozette are you just gonna let her win? It’s only been one week. Who’s says you can’t be a warrior? You just gotta keep working at it and you will get better.”

“Ughh i hate when you are right Luna.” I say back knowing she is a little upset with my thinking by calling me Jozette instead of Jo.

I walk back to my dorm to change my clothes since these are soaked. When I walk in I see Stella and Ryan sitting there talking and laughing. “Hey Jo what arrrr, what happened to you?” Stella rushes out to say the last part. I just shrug my shoulders. “Clumsy me split my coffee on me again. Stella just shakes her head. “Hurry up and change and come hang out with us!”

I laugh and walk into my closet. “Okay mom.” Ryan laughs at that comment and I hear Stella push Ryan. I come out in a sports bra and spandex shorts showing off my little 2 pack. “For someone who doesn’t train you do look kinda fit Jo.” Ryan laughs looking my body up and down. “Haha thanks Ryan.”

“I do have a question though can y’all help me train on the weekends?” Stella jumps up excitedly. “Of course Jo we would love to!”

“Thank y’all!” I say and hug Stella. I nod towards Ryan. He just smiles at me. This should help me get better faster. I’ll train myself in my free time on the basics and working out more. I need to put more muscles and meat on these bones.
