Lotus Night

Back To The future, First Day Out

It’s the morning of the first day of school at 5am, and the house is in complete chaos. I lay in bed trying to muster the strength to get ready for school, suddenly my door swings open without a knock and I knew it was the twins Kylin and kylan they immediately jump on my bed fully dressed in uniforms with fresh scented lotion on there faces . Kylin squealing “sissy look look at my new uniform and pretty shoes mommy got me! I’m going to make new friends and meet my teachers!” Kylan replied “YEAH I hope we’re in the same class too!” . I growl and roll over ,but I could never be dismissive towards the twins they where my babies. So I sat up, “yes twins you guys look so pretty and handsome, your new school is going to love you!!” It was there first day of school in the first grade. I had to be supportive. They run out my room leaving the door open then kylan runs back pokin his head around the corner “ mom said get up !!” and ran off behind Kylin. I stretch feeling the ache from our summer training and shut the door. I already knew what I was wearing it’s my junior year in high school so thing weren’t as exciting to me . I began running my shower and collecting myself, after my 45 mins of showering mostly dosing off in the shower I dry off , my hair had grown down to my waist my black and brown curls had gotten more define .” What a headache “ I contemplate on keeping it curly but I quickly dismiss that option considering the fact it’s harder to manage. I moisturize my body and slip my underwear on as well as my bra ,and sit down in front of my vanity to do my hair and make up. As I finish the last of my beauty routine. I hear my mom yelling. “RAI’JEAN YOU HAVE LESS THAN A HOUR ! YOUR BREAKFAST IS ON THE STOVE AND IM LEAVING !!” She knows she doesn’t have to babysit me iam more than responsible for my self. Once I slip my new jeans on with a baby white tee which cuffed my newly founded breast. I put my necklace and diamond earrings I had gotten for my birthday 2 years ago on . I gave myself a look in the mirror, I hit puberty late I had just gone through the painfully stage this past summer and I couldn’t recognize myself I had curves that came out a magazine and had went from flat chested to a D cup within a few months my eyes had turn stoned grey and my jawline had defined I had evolved to a definite 10! “Unbelievable” I think to myself . “I look just like mom” I grab my bag and purse and head out my room the house had died down a lot since most of the younger kids left with mom. I had 15 brothers and sisters, 7 where under 12 and the remaining 8 where no younger than 14, mom and dad where really busy. I reach the bottom of the steps which lead into the living room where 4 of my siblings lounged eating the remainder of there breakfast, confused i began looking at the time Rin reassured me “ mom woke everyone up 2 hours early the clock is wrong” half sleep and laying on Rin , lee co signed by shaking his head. “ really?” I shrug it off and go devour my breakfast and iced Carmel coffee. The house mom who had began cleaning the kitchen gave me a sly smile and asked me “ready for the first day of school love?’ Rai’jean “No you know I can’t stand those freshmen and searching for new classes and having to introduce myself for the 3rd time” she laughed “these are the best days of your young life, enjoy” miss.Lundy was from Paris so she had a cutting ascent. She kissed each cheek on my face and exclaimed “ you look beautiful and more beautiful go and be nice make friends” I giggled at her a little bit and started to head to the door as I walked back in the living room everyone began grabbing there bags and headed out too. Most of us had our own cars but those who didn’t drive just hopped in with another. I had a dark blue pearl jeep. As I started the car I noticed I hadn’t cleaned my car out in months so I guess that was the after school chore. School was a 30min drive everyone polled out the drive way going there separate ways, no one in school knows it’s this many of us we don’t socialize with each other in school to much, once I reach the drive way of the towering high school I find my fav parking spot right next to the entrance so after school I can go unseen. School had always came easy to me, I have never gotten a B in classes .it’s the students that often become bothersome. There were crowds of students everywhere looking for classes,lockers freshman clowning in the hallways. This was going to be a hell of a year I finally reach my locker. “230 finally” I though to myself, I continue to unload my book bag into my locker when I felt a force push me into the locker “Ouch” Stranger “ oh I’m so sorry these fuckin freshman” He helped me gather myself when my conscious stop spinning I noticed he had stopped moving and talking. towering over me he was about 6,3 he just gazed at me like he knew me. “Hellooo are yu just going to stand there” one of the guys he was accompanied by said. “ uhmmm” was all he could say before he was pulled away into the crowd “weirdo number 1” I thought to myself and finished organizing my locker and headed to my first class. I walked in and the first thing I smelled was the favorite perfume of my best friend. She screamed and almost took my head of when she tackled me into a hug. “ RAI’ JEAN ,YES YOUR IN MY HOMEROOM,I MISSED YOU SOO MUCH,AND OMG YOU FINALLY GOT YOUR BOOBS!” She literally screamed for everyone to hear the teacher stopped in her tracks with a smile on her face “find your seats ladies” extremely embarrassed I pull away from NI NI and walk to the seat behind her Rai’jean “ sheesh Ni Ni did yu have to add the boobs” ,NI NI “ I couldn’t help it yours are 2x bigger than mind,and omg your ass is bigger too” I shrunk in my seat “ this girl is goin to be the death of me” The bell rings as the last student scrambles to get in class . Teacher (miss Campbell) “ Alright my new homeroom, I hope you all enjoyed your summer, my name is miss Campbell and this is your home room ,this is the class you will report to in the beginning and end of your school days and yes you will always have 2 homework assignments for me”. By the 4 period I was exhausted and starving but lunch is in 20 mins so I return to my locker. Ni Ni “ Hey! Rai, there are so many fine ,young, sexy,handsome wolves here,omg one of them looked me in my eyes and I almost turned into stone” I looked at her and shook my head RAI Jean “ Really ? I haven’t seen one that caught my eye” Ni Ni “ lies! I have seen at least 5 that’s your type” as wolves we have mates but NI thinks she can pick her mate. We head to lunch the cafeteria was renovated so it’s way bigger than last year . Ni “ hey do yu know I called your phone every day on summer break?” Rai jean “ no I didn’t my mom confiscated our phones to focus on summer training” Ni “ you missed my birthday, sleepovers my brothers wedding day! I was so lost without you RAI! “ I rolled my eyes at her last comment, but my thought went back to how hurt I was not to see her all summer. We found our seats and began catching up. Rai Jean “ yes and you never told me how painful puberty was” Ni “ I figured you already knew,mines wasn’t that painful though I think yours was so painful because you had a lot of change at once” rai Jean “ mhm maybe” Ni “ BUT you look amazing rai. I mean did you see how THE HATER was staring you down ? She despises you for no reason but now she has one huh ?” She laughed uncontrollably when Frankie walked in she was a girl who never favored me since grade school I never gave her a reason she just always despise me, Frankie walked passed “flunky” she said her 2 friends laughed at her mocking towards me . When Ni tripped her into a table and laughed herself I couldn’t contain myself when I seen the look on frankies face. She continued to play off her deadly fall because to many ppl where watching. Ni continued to question my classes and we made plans to meet at the car wash after school and get something to eat. The bell rung for lunch to end and we began exiting but my next bell was my free bell so I took it upon myself to relax in the student break room. I wanted to go over classes and homework for the day , I found a empty seat next to the window , and began doing work, when my brother came and sat across from me I didn’t have to look at home to know it was him, he had ligh brown skin and Carmel hair, his eyes were blue like dads and he stood at 5’8, Gee “Hey Rai Jean guess what! “ Rai Jean “ what” Gee “ I found my mate!” I paused in complete shock I couldn’t believe what he had just said Rai Jean” who is it?” He motioned to the book shelf where a girl with long red hair stood and looked at us . I wave my hand at her to come here . Gee “ star this is my big sister rai, rai this is star my mate” star “. Hello” rai “ hi! You are very beautiful “ star “ thank you, please excuse me I’m nervous” rai “ it’s ok no need t be I’m just his sister, wait till you meet mom”. I laughed as she winced at the thought of meeting my mom. Gee “ DONT SCARE HER RAI ! Let’s go star I’ll introduce you to the rest of my family” rai “ by star see you later” Gee gave me a glare before he walked away I could help but laugh not even 10 mins went by before Ni Ni scent hit me and I looked around the room to see her flirting with the intern of the library I rolled my eyes and continued my homework. NI NI “ I almost forgot we had the same free period” rai “ yeah I bet your so worried about the eye candy, I said mockingly she pulled out her books and we began working together. Rai “ Ohh guess who found there mate?” No Ni “ WHERE IS HE? Who! Who is it” rai “ smh not me ! Gee!” “ GEE? REALLY WHAT THE HELL!” How he get a mate befor you?” Rai “that’s besides the point , she so beautiful with long red hair her names star.” Ni Ni “ star Gaze? I know her she’s in my class. That’s his mate ? Wow” those were the last word we exchanged before we finished our work and exited the break room. As we were walking down the hallway my heart stopped when I seen the stranger that bumped into me earlier today alone in the middle of the hallway staring me down . For some odd reason Ni No completely missed this 6’3 man in the middle of the hallway when she said “ alright I’ll see you after school bestie and skipped off to her next class. I was stuck in the same spot never breaking eye contact with this stranger. He sent me a comforting smile before the bell rings and the hallways were once chaotic again. I try to shake it off but that man kept replaying in my mind I started to feel creeped out a little bit, first day of school and I already have a stalker. I head to my next class when I realize he was sitting in my class looking down at his planner. I tried to get a seat as far away as possible from him but by the time I got there the only one left was right in front of him with his book bag in the seat “ f**k” I say to myself I could feel myself starting to sweat as I walked over to the seat. He looked up and moved his bookbag and I could feel his eyes searching my body , for Markings of a mate or Tribal markings. My heart was racing Nd I could keep focus .until the teacher said the seats you are in are yours for the rest of the year. I died 3 times right there in my seat. I could feel his breath on my neck I could feel his heated body . Thinking I would have to deal with this for the rest of the year. Something wasn’t right. The class came to a end and I began packing up when I felt a sudden movement and herd a whisper “ my name is archer “ the action made chills come over my body and I start pouring sweat. As he got up and stretched and threw his book bag over his shoulders and walked out . “ what the hell was that?” My phone buzzed and it was a Message from the group chat. Jazz: hey rai can I ride with you home? I replied back yes but I’m hanging out with Ni . Jazz : anyone going straight home? Kevin replied :yes iam you can ride with me. I put my phone in my back pocket before I headed to my car. For the first day of school we had a lot of homework. But I wasn’t passing up the chance to hang with my best friend I had missed her so much over the summer.I got in my car and started it allowing it to warm up and my phone had buzzed again this time from a unknown caller. I answered “ hello” a familiar voice replied “ hey it’s archer “ I was stunned I couldn’t hang up but I couldn’t say anything.Archer “ I know I’m a creep and yes I slipped your phone to get your number “ I couldn’t respond Archer kept talking “ I would like to get to know you, could we meet somewhere?” I instantly hung up In unbelief I shook it off and pulled out to meet Ni I was at the car wash for a good 10 minutes before she pulled up . I had explained to her what happened and she laughed uncontrollably. Rai “ it’s not fuckin funny , what the hell kind of guy does weird s**t like this and thinks it’s normal ?” Ni “ A MATE” she said while beginning to clean her car I paused at her words realizing it’s a possibility, my mate had hit adult hod before me .We continued to clean our cars and play music before a blacked out suv pulled up. And sat in a parking space for 20 mins before a light skinned 6,0 ft man with long braided hair got out the passenger door, and began vacuuming the back seat. Ni seemed unbothered but something was telling me it was Archer in the driver seat. I began vacuuming my car from front to back and shampooing my carpets. It was almost 100 degrees outside so I slipped off my shirt only wearing my sports bra from gym earlier. Ni : great idea rai it’s hot as hell out here” rai : we should go swimming before lunch” Ni “ omg Yesss we get a chance to cool off and see shirtless eye candy!” Rai “ that’s not where I was going with it but ok” Next thing you know Archer is staring me down with a assaulting look on his face. He seemed angry. His friend was almost holding him back from something talking in his ear, I couldn’t use my hearing to make out what he was saying over the vacuuming and music. I rushed over to Ni “ Archer AA-Archers here “ Ni “ WHAT !? Where ?” She looked through the car and seen him fuming and ask if I was ready to go she knew when I got kinda shook at his actions . We immediately dropped everything and got in the car racing off trying to get away from them.she called me in her car speaker going off .Ni “ what the hell is wrong with him, if he thinks your his mate he should just say that instead of following you around and damn near attacking his friends to get to yu” she goes on and on the whole drive while I listen to her “ you think we lost him?” Rai “ no but the next time I see him I’m goin to confront him!” “ good and I’ll be right there” ni replied . We arrived at the pool and there was high school students everywhere we changed into out swim suits and mines was a lil more revealing since I no longer had the same body “why didn’t I think about this I have to get new clothes” as I exited from behind the curtains I seen ni eyes go wide Ni “ well I see why he’s acting in such a manner” she said sarcastically. We went to find chairs in front of the pool and enjoyed the weather together and talked about some more summer stuff and our families and them finding mates and the crazy thing they went through finding and keeping there mate. And then archer and 5 other guys walked in and girls where all over them but archer had his eyes on me . He played off his attitude but I knew Ni spotted the same time as me Ni “ I can’t believe this guy” she said . Rai “ I guess he might be my mate, but I have to talk to him it’s now or never”. My nerves had calmed down when I saw he eased up a little and began horse playing with his friends jumping in and out the pool. Ni spotted the same guy who was at the car washed with him and walked over to him and began conversing with him and I rolled me eyes at her when she gave me a look. I decided to take a dive in the pool. As I got up I felt archers eyes beaming at me, I looked over at him and ignored his demeanor. And slowly lowered myself into the pool. The cool water felt so refreshing on my skin I let out a slight Moan, before I took my hair out the ponytail and dove deep into the pool, I could hold my breath longer than the average wolf , so I knew I was under for. While before I came up for air , archer was now half way in the pool,watching me with a enjoyable look on his face. I c****d my eyebrows up before I mouthed to him “ weirdo” and went back under . Then I felt it, I felt a burning in my back I almost let out all my air before I came up grasping for air and something to hold on to ,” damnit “ was that a cramp I never cramp. I approached the steps them realized Frankie friend tish was rubbing archer down in sun screen, and in every place she touched my body began to burn I tried to hold in the cries before.Ni noticed and rushed over to me Ni “ hey hey you ok rai wat rong ?” She asked scanning my body I shook my head and told her “let’s go” that’s all she needed to here before she scowled at archer and then me and said “ that’s your mate rai” Rai “ I don’t care let’s gooo now!!” That’s all she needed to hear before she packed our things and helped me to the car, as I put my pants on archer and his friends came running out and I began rushing trying to push through the remaining pain left, but before I could shut the car door he was here blocking the way, Rai “ NO I SCREAMED GET AWAY !” Archer “ wait I just had to make sure! Listen !” His friends were still walking towards us how did he get to me so fast? NI ran around the car and told him to move. Before he growled and she stepped back, I looked at her in confused as she put her head down and took a step back. His friends finally approached their car , Archer “ listen you are my mate I don’t know why you can’t feel it but I do !” I almost fainted at his words between the pain and the fear I felt I couldn’t stay conscious.I slipped into a sleep in a black abyss. I was awoken by NI Ni and archer’s friend arguing about what to do, when i came to I was being carried into a mansion with Ni Ni and the rest of the guys following behind I was so weak I could fight archer to get up . I groaned and he looked down at me with so much worry in his eyes . Archer had brown skin, and green eyes he had long curly hair and plumped lips, he was perfect, he had a few healed bruises on his face but it didn’t take away from his looks, he had a tribal tattoo they went unnoticed before, he laid me down on a huge couch and told his cousin Zeus to get the medic, I instantly passed out again. I woke up in my plush bed, panicked I looked outside and it was completely dark “whet the f**k happened?” I scrambled for answers when I grabbed my phone and Ni Ni had called 37 times I called her back it’s 3 am but I kno she would answer and she did , explaining everything that happened Ni Ni “ after you fainted ,he wanted to make sure yu where on , I cursed him out for being a creep due one and for torching you with trash tish, he explained he is a alpha, and you are his mate he said when you guys met each other earlier that day he found out, but you were unresponsive so he knew yu hadn’t got your wolf yet, we got to his house and the medics looked over yu and said you where dehydrated and hungry so she gave yu a iv and he insisted on taking yu home, we talked to your mom and he told her everything” Rai “ Everything WHATS EVERYTHING? Ni Ni “ everything that happened even him being your mate” Rai “ WHATTT MY MATE!?? What did my mom do what did she say? NI Ni “ she gave me a hug and told me to go home after that.” I sat in silence for a while before I told Ni I would talk to her tomorrow. And hung up, I laid there in my bed for a while before I realized I hadn’t did my homework or ate anything allll day. I finished most of my assignment before I slipped out my room to get a late night snack, milk and cookies or a salad I thought to myself BOTH. I sat at that island in the kitchen before I felt someone staring at me, Archer came out the shadows and I paused mid swallow almost choking... he sat next to me Archer “ your mother let me stay the night because it had gotten late and I live a hour away from hear, I told her everything, how old are yu?” He asked in complete shock I responded “ 17” Archer that explains everything you haven’t hit adult hood that’s why yu can’t feel our mate bond yet” I’m so over him at this point I began cleaning my mess up before archer cornered me , he moved so fast and it’s pitch dark I couldn’t move, he towers over me but he smelled so good . He took my scent in before his eyes went black, and he began searching my body for markings or any sign of s****l activity,he then moved my head to the side and said “MINE” his breath grazed my neck sending chills down my spine, his body heat overpowered the air that was around us. His eyes went back green and he just stared at me Rai “ I’ve had enough of this s**t” I said and the look on his face traveled between anger and hurt I snatched away. Rai “ MOVE!” Archer “ *growls..you act like I had a choice, I do isn’t ask you to be my mate” his word unconsciously hurt my heart and I don’t know why , he instantly apologized after he noticed my feelings hurt, but before he could do or say anything else I ran up stairs and balled up in my bed I couldn’t reject him yet because I hadn’t hit adult hood but in 2 months I will reject him. That night I vividly dreamed of a woman covered in light, telling me. Not to reject my mate that it would take some time but he would be the only one there’s no second chance mates for wolves like me. “ what did she mean wolves like me?”
