HERS

2. Birthday Splash

"James!" Danica hissed as she waited outside the boys changing rooms. "What the heck are you doing? We're going to be late for P.E."

"Just give me a minute and I'll be out," he yelled back.

"Hey Danica," Jason greeted. "What are you doing out here?"

"Waiting for James," she sighed. "Happy birthday, you doing anything special?"

"I haven't really thought about it, got anything good in mind?" He asked flirtatiously causing Danica to blush slightly; she couldn't deny he was attractive.

"Maybe," she replied, eyeing him."

The boys from the changing room exited creating a ruckus and effectively cutting their conversation short. They sang happy birthday getting louder and louder with every word.

"Now," one of the lads yelled ad on queue the boys bombarded the birthday boy and Danica much to her dismay with water balloons. The balloons exploded against her skin drenching her with cold water. The balloons slapped against her skin stinging where they burst.

"James," she yelled as she knew he was the ring leader behind this little fiasco.

"You yelled?" An amused James asked coming up front.

"James," Danica spoke slowly. "I am going to skin your hairy ass alive."

"Dani, this is just the beginning." He smirked, his mind reeling with his thoughts of payback.

She opened her mouth to shout only to freeze in her spot as the cold water landed on her. Her body tensed up as the freezing water washed over her, stealing all her warmth. Her skin began to sting. "What the f**k you arse? Was that really compulsory, I'm already drenched!"

"Crucial, that was for your assistance and for being the brains behind the drenching on my birthday." James grinned. "That looks suits you very well, the drenched cat." He said eyeing her, her white blouse was soaked clinging onto her flesh allowing her undergarments to be seen. Her shorts stuck to her heights like a second skin "Red is a good colour on you," he winked. "Dani!" He gasped, raising and eyebrow. "Is that lace?" He said as if it was the most scandalous thing in the world.

Danica back handed him, walking away knowing full well that the rest of the boys were watching her. She was used to being looked at, it didn't matter in which light they saw her one thing she knew for a fact was that she was a good body and wasn't too bad looking either. The boys whistled behind her.

"Perves," She muttered under her breath knowing very well that every single one of them heard her clearly as if she had said it standing right next to them.

"Hey, Danica," James caught up with her outside heading towards the sports hall. "Don't be a grumpy cat."

"James, I'm freaking wet."

James chuckled, he paced his hands on her shoulder and looked into her eyes and said, "I know, I tend to have that effect on women, but I didn't expect to have the same effect on you too. I'm flattered."

James s**t it before I punch you where it hurts most." James face scrunched up in pain as his hands went automatically to protecting the family jewels. "Let's get going," she said shaking her head, tired of his dramatics. Taking his hands she led him to the sports hall.

James walked into the sports hall hand in hand with Danica interrupted the class that was now in full swing, interrupting the man who was in the middle of giving his speech. The class gave their undivided attention to the duo ignoring the teacher, realising that he had lost their attention he tuned to face the distraction.

His eyes locked with Danica's instantly, causing her to feel an over whelming feel at the pit of her stomach. His eyes clouded over darkening with each passing moment and he took them in. She was soaking wet, her white tee shirt now sheer and clung to her curves showing off her undergarments, surprisingly bright. He schooled his features hoping he didn't reveal anything accidently. Her hands were still intertwined with the boy, who was grinning ear to ear.

His gaze left them only to land on the group of boys that had entered behindhand them, who were also soaked, which reminded him of the wet girl.

"Why are you wet?" His eyes solely zoning in on Danica, as he gritted out the words.

"Coz, I turn her on," James smirked pulling her closer to him. The boys howled with laughter, encouraging him. James' remark didn't sit well with the teacher, who stood grounding his teeth.

"Join the group," he said to the group.

Danica took her seat next to Avery on the benches with James on her side and Jason behind her with the group of boys.

Why are you wet?" Avery whispered.

"James," Danica began as she shot him a dirty look. "And the boys decided to say happy birthday to Jason with a splash and I just so happen to be standing next to him and it's also payback since James' birthday-"

"Hwy," James began defensively cutting her off. "It's not necessary to tell her to story."

"Oh but it is," Danica counted back. "Anyway, it was his birthday and the guys wanted to, let's say make it memorable so I came up with the idea that he stays over at mind and they all came over to drench him once he fell asleep. As much as t was fun, a pissed off James was even more entertaining, it was so worth the soaked bed that my parents made sure I replaced."

"Are you done interrupting?" Their teacher arched an eyebrow. Danica hadn't realised the whole class had been listening to her little story. In reply she just simply nodded her head.

"As I was saying class, since it's your first P.E. lesson why don't we do something fun. Okay everyone stand up and form a circle, spread out make it wide. Here's the game we're about to play, you cached the ball you state your name and one interesting fact about yourself. I'll start," He said holding the ball in his hand for a moment contemplating his move. "I'm Mr. Michelson and I love Chinese food." He stated his eyes wondered around the class before he threw the ball.

Danica caught the ball in her hands easily. "I'm Danica and I plan on travelling the world, once I've done my A-levels." Danica quickly scammed the room before throwing the ball across the circle they had formed.

This went on for a while until everyone had introduced themselves and everyone knew an interesting fact about themselves.

The circle dispersed and everyone got into groups of their own and began chatting as they waited the next instructions.

"Dani," Avery called getting her attention. "The new teachers, hotter than they said he was," Avery said in a whisper, keen not to be over heard by all the other werewolves in the room, including the teacher.

"Not really, I'm way hotter," James stated as if it was a well known fact.

"You keep telling yourself that, babes." Danica told him.

"He's so hot."

"And as ass," Danica added causing James to chuckle.

"Okay class gather around," Mr. Michelson announced gaining everyone's attention. "Now that we had a little warm up time to get started on the main event-"

The door opened interrupting Mr, Michelson for the third time that lesson. His eyes landed on Chris, the future Alpha of the pack and territory her currently occupied.

"Alpha Anderson," Mr. Michelson greeted. "Right on time, alright, class I'll leave it to Alpha Anderson to take over."

"Alright, kids," Chris announced. Gaining everyone's undivided attention, he looked around the room, making eye contact with each and every one of the students stood in the hall before him. "I want four teams, to run the circuits, time to test how well you have maintained your work outs throughout the summer. You know the drill set up the circuits and we'll set up the teams."

The students set off to work, setting up the circuits. Danica approached Chris. "Seriously, Chris, kids?" She asked. "The age difference between us is five years."

"Exactly kids, you're still in school whereas I am not."

"Actually Chris, you're still in school, look around."

Fine you're still in education whereas I'm not."

"Actually,-" Danica began only to be cut off by Chris.

"Why are your clothes wet?" He demanded.

"James attacked me with water balloons and then poured a bucket of cold water on me," She quickly explained.

Chris turned to face James, "Payback?" He said,

"Precisely," he nodded.

Christopher chuckled ruffling her hair. "Dude, stop it. You know how much I hate it when you do that."

"It's still fun." He said amused. "Got to go," Danica turned around to find Mr. Michelson watching.

"Okay, listen up." Chris addressed the class. "It's time to get into groups. Let's begin."

"So, want to be in my group"? James asked the girls.

"HA! In your dreams."

"Aw, you wound me," James faked hurt.

"Go in Jason's group."

"Where's the fun in that?"

"Okay here are the team captains; James, Avery, Jason and Danica. Pick your teams."

Danica froze not expecting to be team captain or to be competing against her friends. She hurried over to Chris dragging Avery with her. "Do we have to be here, I don't even want to be team captain? Let us leave."

"No can do."

"But come on, this isn't even compulsory, this isn't training it's a P.E. lesson where you play a stupid game or something." Danica argued.

""I can't be letting you out of this; it's going to show favourites."

"But we are you favourite."

"Not the point."

"Look, let us go and well attend the next pack meeting, I know how important they are." Danica bargained she had stopped attending pack meetings some time ago.

Chris contemplated the opportunity he had here.

"Come on, I know you want me to attend the meetings." She goaded.

"How about this, you stay and lead your teams on this and attend pack meetings for the rest of the year and you will both get a free pass out of border patrol, day and night."

"Day and night?" Danica echoed.

"Two passes and you have yourself a deal," Avery chirped.

"Fine, Deal." Chris agreed shaking Avery's hand.

Avery dragged Danica back into the group where they got ready to lead the activity.
