Half A Luna

Chapter 2: s**t Box

Amber POV

The rest of the evening was spent watching movies and eating popcorn. Jasmine asked me a question about the movie but I could't answer I wasn't paying attention my mind was elsewhere. Ronan was all I could think about, yes even though him calling me love was enough to give me butterflies, it was rude to kiss someone you barely know. Or is everyone in this part of the country just over friendly?

It was late and Jasmine insisted she drives me home, but her car wouldn't start..

"Sh*t. The battery is f****d. " She grumbles, stepping out of her vehicle. "Hang on." She tells me

The next minute, I see Ronan being dragged out of the house.

"I told you to fix my car so this wouldn't happen."

He checks underneath the bonnet. So the boy was good with his hands. Mechanically speaking, of course.

"I can't see s**t. It's dark."

"Yes you can, don't be lazy."

"Just take my car. "

"I don't know how to drive a manual."

"Learn it." He makes an attempt to go back inside, but Jasmine screams. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Shut up! Your 15 act your age."

"It’s fine, I can walk home," I spoke up.

"At this hour? No Amber, Ronan will take you."

He grumbles, "No, get Kyle to take her. I've got s**t to do."

"Kyle is staying at a friend’s house tonight. I'll tell mum you ditched school again. " Jasmine turns to me, her face softening. "See you at school, Amber."

She gives me a wave and heads inside. I looked back to Ronan, who was glaring at me.

He opens up the garage door, unveiling a green old Mustang muscle car with two black stripes down the middle from the bonnet towards the boot.

I hop into his car and he roars down the road like a mad man.

"Slow down. I would prefer to get out of this car alive. "

"And you will, relax love."

There it is again, love and the butterflies return. Silence fell upon us. That was until he put on his radio. I wanted to say something about the kiss on the cheek, and perhaps Ronan knew this because then he asked,

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"It's a bit rude to kiss a total stranger."

"It was the cheek besides I'd thought you would have enjoyed it."

Cocky much. He defiantly thinks his god's gift to women. Enjoy it?! Please. Why would I enjoy a peck on the cheek from a rude 17 year old.

"I did not enjoy it."

His jaw clenched, and his knuckles turned white on the steering wheel. Why was he getting so uptight?

"It's no big deal." Hr snapped back as if i had just insulted him.

"It is to me. Where I come from, it's disrespectful. "

"Relax love, it’s not like I took your virginity."

I instantly felt flushed again, stunned but angry by his couldn't care less attitude. Although I was curious if he had experience and how he knew I was a virgin. Nevertheless, he shouldn't assume I was a virgin. I crossed my arms. f*****g asshole.

"Pull over!" I demanded.

"We're almost there."

"Pull over!" I shouted

He does. I heard him mutter under his breath, "f*****g women."

I get out of the car and start walking home. Who the f**k does this guy think he is? I swear that's all I ask myself..

"Get in the car, Amber."

"f**k you!"

My mother always said if you can't control your anger, walk away. So I did.

"Watch that pretty little mouth of yours." Do you know who you are talking to? " He growled.

"An asshole that objectifies women." I'd rather shoot myself than spend another second in that shitbox! " I hissed.

Okay I didn't know he objectifies women but certaintly does seem the type.

"s**t box?" He growled again, slammed his car door, and I took off running down the street as fast as my legs could take me.

I got to my house, ran inside, and locked the door behind me. I huffed and looked up to see my mum standing there looking concerned.

"Amber, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," I breathed out, puffing from my intense run. A little exercise can't hurt. I'll have a shower and come help you with dinner. " I bolted to my room, not giving my mum a chance to respond.

I sighed, falling onto my bed. What an asshole! And girls want to date him? I don't see it. His repulsive I pull my bag next to me and start rummaging through it. Where is my phone? s**t, I must have dropped it while I was running. Mom's going to kill me.

I had a shower, and dinner and went to bed falling asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Ronan POV

Shit box! My mate did not just call my 1969 mustang a s**t box. I had so many thoughts running wild. h

How did she not enjoy the kiss? Shes my mate did i get it wrong?

She's our mate. I am certain.

My wolf confirmed. Then she's lying, she has to be.

An objectify women?! Okay maybe a little but they enjoy it since they keep crawling back me.

Amber vanished in a flash the girl was quick on her toes. I wondered how fast she was and whether or not she could out run me.

I was tempted to chase after her instead I got back into my car and followed her home. I know that sounds creepy but I wanted to make sure she was safe. From a safe distance I watched her entered her home and that was my cue to leave.

My car reeked of her scent, and that only left me feeling high. Despite her insult I was quite aroused basking in her scent. It was addicting like a drug. I glanced over to the passenger seat where my precious mate had just sat, to find her phone. What do we have here I grinned.

I unlocked her phone with one attempt 1 2 3 4 5. Seriously that's your password i chuckled to myself. Someone needs to teach her cyber security.

I delved straight into her contact and added my number. I'm so looking forward to tomorrow.

Amber POV

The next morning mum came into my room and opened my curtains blinding me. The sun was so bright today and I instinctively pulled the covers over my head like a vampire.

"Amber up you you get, you'll be late. Have some breakfast and I'll drop you off."

I pulled the covers back and saw my mum hovering above me.

"You never drop me off."

"Alex knows how hard I work. He was concerned I don't spend enough time with you."

"I've never met the guy, why would he care?"

"You will tonight. Come straight home after school, so don't be late.

"My mum turns around but I call her back, "yes hun?"

"Don't be mad but I lost my phone. It must have slipped out from my bag."

"Amber," she groans crossing her arms "I'll give you my card and you can buy a new phone but be careful. Don't buy anything expensive."

"Thanks, mum" she places her card on my bedside table and exits the room.

I had a free period before lunch so I could quickly duck out to the shops then.

Mum dropped me off at school as planned. As I walked down the hallway towards my locker I yelped when I was suddenly pulled into an empty classroom.

"Do you mind?" My eyes locked onto the hand that dragged me in here travelling up to see who it belonged to. Ronan's. The mere sight of him made my blood boil.

"What the f**k do you want?" I growled.

"What I say about that mouth of yours?"

"Are you my mother, come to discipline me for my potty mouth?"

He stalks over to me, I step back in response until I felt my thighs bump into the table behind me.

"No, but I will bend you over and spank that ass of yours.

"I looked at him in shock. Did he just really say that to me?

"What's the matter cat caught your tongue?" He smirked.

"f**k you." He reaches for me but I heard someone step inside the classroom.

"Ronan!" It was Kyle.

"I was just teaching the girl some manners."

"Not her," he warned.

"Why?"

They exchanged looks and I was even more confused because then Ronan said

"Oh you can't be serious? Her?"

"Get the f**k out" he growled.

"Okay, little brother. You win." He stops by his side.

"This round." And shoves him into the wall.

Kyle sheds a glance at me and then leaves without saying another word. What the hell happened? Did I miss something?

Free period came after I put my books away in my locker I headed for the bus stop. It was conveniently located outside the school's main entrance. Across it, was the school's private car park.My day worsened when a familiar green mustang car pulls up directly in front of the bus stop. The window rolls down on the passenger side and of course, I stared right back at the pervert, Ronan.

"What do you want?"

"Looking for this?" A devilish grin plastered on his face as he held up my phone.

"Give it."

"Get in the car."

"No."

"Get in the car or you don't get your phone back."

"I'm not getting in your s**t box." His face becomes harsh and he gets out of his car, slamming the door.

"You do realise it's illegal to park here."

"Do I look like I give a f**k?" He growls.

He marches over stopping only inches away from my face. He was quite tall. I didn't realise until now. My head was just above his chest. Intimidation really? His face softens and he begins to smile again.

"How about this I give your phone back but on one condition."

"Just give it back. It doesn't belong to you."

"One condition," he repeats.

"Fine, what is it?" I grumbled.

"One kiss."

"f**k no!" f*****g pervert. I screamed in my head although I would have preferred to scream it at his face.

"Language! I will bend you over my car and spank your ass if you keep this up."

This prick. Now I wasn't the type to get physically violent but this asshole deserved it. So I pushed him against his car with as much force as I could give. I immediately regretted it hoping, praying I didn't dent his car. After his reaction to me calling his car a s**t box, I was a little worried about what he'll do if I had damaged it.A crowd started to make their way over to us. I could hear them whispering to each other.

"Did she just push Ronan?"

"She is so screwed."

Did I just make a big mistake? No, the guy deserved it and I smiled at my actions. Now I was hoping there was a dent. Ronan stood their wide eye, he checked his car and then glares at me intensely.

"I'll just buy a new phone." I grabbed my bag and turned to leave but Ronan pulls my arm back and I instinctively turned around and punched him square in the nose.

"f**k!" he shouted as he held his nose.

I could see his eyes begin to water. I noticed Kyle and his two other friends slither through the crowd to the front.I rubbed my knuckles. I never punched someone before. They made it look so easy in the movies but f**k it hurt. But I didn't let Ronan know that so I made sure to keep my composure.

"What happened?" Kyle asks.

"She f*****g punched me that's what happened."

"Only because he was making inappropriate comments to me. He f*****g deserved it." I snapped back.

"Everyone clear off. Nothing to see here." Kyle said and the crowd dispersed. He goes up to Ronan. I could hear them muttering with each other.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Mind your business," Ronan growls.He looks down to see the phone in Ronan's hand.

"The phone who does that belong to?"

"It's Caitylin's"

"Bullshit. Give me my f*****g phone back."

"Is it hers?"

"Maybe." he smirked.

Kyle snatches the phone from him and returns it to me and walks off without another word.

"12345 isn't much of a password. Text me." He said boldly.

Did this guy have bipolar or was he psychotic?

I went to my contacts Ronan was listed. The balls this guy has. Well sorry, buddy but I am going to burst your bubble. I looked up at him and smirked.

"Deleted. Like hell would I text you." His smile vanished right when I saw the bus pulling up.

The driver began to honk forcing Ronan to return to his car.

Ronan POV

I got back into my car and drove home. No way this goddamn mate of mine refuses to kiss me. Something is defiantly wrong and as much as I hated to admit it, I felt rejected. I have never been rejected by a girl before. This was defiantly a first.

Still reeling in the effects of her punch, she made my nose f*****g bleed. I cleaned myself in the bathroom. Amber, you should have not provoked your mate. I'll have you crawling back to me, begging for me to devour your beautiful body.
