"But why? what did I ever do to you? Why do you hate me so much?, I thought we were friends" I said as tears slide down my face.
"Numbskull, don't you get it? It was all an act...a bet and I won. Who in their right mind would want to be associated with you?" He hissed pushing me out of his way and walking out.
Thank goodness I held unto the restroom door else I would have fallen flat on my face. As soon as he left, more tears gushed out of my eyes. Why didn't I see the signs?, it was too good to be true anyway... The most popular guys in school being my friends. But why do they hate me so much? Are they just simply heartless or they have a ulterior motive?
**Flashback ends***
The sound of the bell jolted me out of my reverie. Students were already filing out of the classroom in groups... happy that class is over. I sighed and picked up my bag. Hanging it over my shoulder, I walked to the extrance of the class.
"Must have learnt a lot from zooming out throughout the class" Zander said sarcastically and with a smile.
I paused as I turned to him. How do you respond when your teacher caught you mind wandering during class?
The last student left the class leaving my teacher Zander and I.
"I..I ..uh. ..uhm" I stammered as I looked at him pleadingly.
"You always seem to be lost in thought, why?" He walked forward to me and sitting halfway on the closet student desk.
The proximity between us was not negligible. I could smell him, a mixture of forest and green plants, if that's even a smell. It made me even more uncomfortable.
"Uh..uhmm...sorry Sir, I drifted off" I apologized. What? I don't want to be held down by my teacher. I already have a lot on my head. If only he knew. Try explaining that you have relived this day before, people would think you're crazy. I looked at Zander and he gave knowing look. Damn..I did it again.
"So..sorry again, I have to go" I said turning to leave...
"Please call me Zander, I'll see you around" Zander called and chuckled as I left the class.
Was he trying to hit on me? That's a first. This rebirth keep getting weirder and weirder. I was pretty sure in my first life, no student talk more of a teacher knew I existed and even saw a reason to approach me... I was more like a ghost...well..to Zander and his friends that hated my existence.
I must admit Zander is kinda cute.. what am I saying, he IS one fine piece of candy. Now I sounded be like those girls. Eww.
Focus Rebecca.
Classes flowed by slowly and no sign of the devils... Andre and friends. Not like I expected to see them around. After our supposed friendship in our first year, they moved around like I didn't exist... in front of everyone at least. And slowly but surely everyone forgot we were even friends. My popularity status from being with them dwindled and I became a ghost. No body knew me or associated with me.
Soon it was lunch time. I walked into the cafeteria and looked around. Everyone were in their clique chatting away happily. The popular, the choir, the nerds, the computer geeks, the football team where Andre and co are popularly known in, the delinquents so on and so forth...and then there's me..the nobody team.
I walked up to my usual in the corner seat where Courtney sat waiting for me.
Courtney wasn't really in the nobody team, she is a sociable person and had a meaningful importance in the popularly chart. I was the complete opposite.
"Becca, you won't believe it...I just heard, Andre broke up with Bridget... that's just great news, I have better chance of getting him now" she said squealing excitedly.
I rolled my eyes, "Yayyy, that's what you said 3 ex girlfriend ago" cue the sarcasm.
"Come on Becca, just because you don't like him you don't have to be sarcastic about it, at least be happy for me" she said feigning anger.
"I didn't say I dislike him..."
"Oh sorry, you hate him" she cuts in rolling her eyes.
"Why won't I? I told you everything didn't I? He is pure evil and out to get me, he hates me even when i can't remember offending him or anything. All this good boy stuff is a facade. He is not what you think. Trust me" I explained frantically for the umpteenth time.
"Please.. Becca can we just eat? We can talk about your obsession with him later" she said as she started eating.
I sigh in frustration. Why do no one believe me? They all waved me off like I was crazy or an attention seeker. Some who had been in school for a long time said I was still bumped for how our friendship crashed in first year.
I angrily brought out my food grandma gave me from my bag and eat like the food offended me. I was obviously on my own like before, but this time I'm going to make sure I get revenge on Andre and his friends. To do that I have to get solid proof to prove that Andre and his likes as been deceiving the whole school and I was right about them all along. Yes, I might as well find out why they hate me along the way. I would like to know what all this fuzz was about cause I know I didn't do anything wrong. It is going to be tough no doubt, they are the most secretive people I know... But nothing is too hard for rebirth Rebecca.
**Zander's POV**
Beautiful Rebecca...I gotta admit my mate is beautiful. My wolf moved excitedly within me when she spoke even if she was mumbling. She might look young but her eyes was full of experience like she knew everything and came with a determination to finish some kind of mission. I am going to get her, she is mine after all. It's was not as hard as I thought...I had to be separate from the pack to be here. Even though I was the second in command, our alpha was so kind to let me go find my mate. And now I have found her. I wouldn't say I had an expectation of who I wanted my mate to be but she being human wasn't really in my list. What seem challenging is her fitting in my world and I am going to make sure she does that perfectly.
Now...how do you make your student fall for you?
I smile again at the thought of finally finding my mate as I take my phone and leave my class. I checked the time... 4:39pm. The halls were empty as no one was in school. I walked down the empty halls and was about getting in my car when my wolf ears picked out some noise. Where is it coming from? I didn't think anyone was still in school. I turned back into the school and followed the noise. I got closer to the gym, it was the voice of some guys laughing. Just as I reached for the door to the gym, it flew open and my mate bumped into me. She radiated of fear, it got my wolf worried too.
The guys inside the gym stopped laughing as they saw me.
"Rebecca?" I called her name wondering what was going on. My heart sank on how scared she was.
She backed away from me like she just saw a ghost. Her heart raced and she was sweating profusely. Her mind was somewhere cause it didn't seem like she saw me. Suddenly she took off running, my instinct was to run after her but I didn't. I turned to the guys in the gym.. I could smell them, they were wolves too.
They must have smelled me too cause they stopped what they were doing and they walked towards me.
"Hi there, you must be the new teacher.. what's your name?" The boy supposedly their leader in front of them spoke up. He was in front of me now and had this look that reminded me of someone.
"Yes I am, I'm Zander. What happened here? What did you do to Rebec...that girl?" I asked calmly, my wolf moved violently within me at the thought of what they did to Rebecca and knowing they were wolves like me angered me the more.
He waved off my question like it was not important causing me to ball my fist.
"Zander.. second in command in the powerful 'fearless' pack? I didn't know you were in town" he said a bit surprised.
So he knew me. I squint my eyes curiously trying to guess who he was, he looked familiar.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"You don't remember me? Andre, alpha to the black heart pack"
My eyes widened at the realisation of who he was. Andre is the son of Jagger, one of the most brutal and powerful werewolf leader. I only knew them or saw them during his father's reign, who was late now. They have been in the low since Jagger passing. What are they doing here? And what's their connection with Rebecca? They are known to wreck havoc and very feared in their world. They were bad news. Something told me Rebecca was in a lot of trouble.
"Andre, I remember you now. You school here?" I asked curiously.
"Yeah, undercover and all those stuff. I'm here to finish up a pending mission" he said with a mischievous smile.
Something told me it was related to Rebecca.
She is in trouble after all.... Big one.
***************
Hello lovely people,
What do you think about this chapter?
I decided to spice it up with Zander POV. Please tell me how it was. It's actually my first time writing a supernatural story and in a supernatural being POV. Was it good?
I am trying my very best to update frequently since I'm just starting and haven't gotten deep into this book. I hope you understand.
I applied for contract, I really hope I get it cause that's one of the criteria needed to be considered for the rebirth contest. And there's is another contest now, the LGBT contest, I just can't resist writing for a good contest. This book would have been perfect for it except it's not an LGBT genre. But not to worry, I plan on creating a new book for it...even though I have 3 books already that I'm writing on currently (each for different contest). I will introduce it soon in one of my updates.
Juice or wine?
Wine please.
Yours?
Don't forget to
