We finally arrived at Eleanors house, it was a huge victorian with a huge front porch and brick siding, It was a gorgeous house very similar to ours , as we walked in the french doors Eleanor threw her bag to the side of the entryway and took her shoes off leaving them by the door as well. " make sure you take your shoes off. please , my mom will kill me if she she's us walking on the carpet with our shoes on" Eleanor brushed her hair out of her eyes . I slipped off my Toms and added them to the pile that was by the door , Amy had to hold on to my shoulder to unzip her booties and pull them off she threw them on the pile with the other shoes .
Eleanors mom stuck her head out from the kitchen , she looked just like Eleanor , same red hair and same eye color, they could be cousins or sisters if you did not know any better. " hi honey" she greeted Eleanor looking at Amy and smiling , she could not quite hide the look of disappointment when she looked in my direction, I know that most parents would much rather their kids be friends with the popular batas and not someone like me , I mean I am from a Alpha family but I get it , you would rather your kid be in with the popular kids then in with the kid that has no friends at school. " Hey mom we are going to get ready for the game in my room we will be down in a little and is it ok for me to go to a party after? pleeeease , Roger invited me and i really wanted to go with him, plus Amy and Tina are going to go too right?" she added begging me with her eyes to agree to go to the party or at least tell her mom that we were going to be going. Eleanors mom looked doubtful at me like she could not believe that I would actually be going to a after party I rolled my eyes , of course that just made me want to say that. I was going to be going just to prove her wrong. "Of course we are going, I said looking at her mom" Amy looked at me kind of surprised that I had said that I was going to be going to the party that quickly, she knows that I never go to parties . "oh, and excuse me did I hear that right that you said that Roger as in the future alpha of the pack invited you to the party?" she looked excited about that. "yea mom the future alpha of. the pack invited me to go" she responded flushing and looking irritated at the same time, I kind of smirked at that , at least it was not just me that she doubted .
Amy looked like she was getting restless standing around and kept fidgeting with her hair and chewing on her lip, " hey Eleanor we really have to get ready if we are going to get to the game on time and I really should be there early since I have to be there with the other cheerleaders ,is your room upstairs ?" she asked looking up at the staircase , Eleanor looked over at Amy grateful that she had been the room to have in a not so subtle way let her mom know that they did not have time to play 20 questions or have her mom not believe that she could get a alpha . I watched as her mom went back into the kitchen without saying anything else about the game or the after party. " ok lets go get ready now that my mom has calmed down " we ran up the stairs and Eleanor led us into the first room on the left as soon as we got to the landing , as we walked in I immediately noticed how big her room was and was super jealous of her window seat and the fact that she had a privet bathroom, I mean I had a separate bathroom too but it was the kind that had a door on both sides and Amy's room connects to it as well so we share. Eleanor has painted her room a sky blue with dark blue accents and had a huge queen sized bed in the middle of the room a long with a large desk and vanity on the opposite walls. Amy had already walked into the bathroom I am guessing to wash off the makeup that she had on so that she could redo it . i walked in and put the bags on Eleanors bed and sat on the floor at the foot of the bed. Eleanor and I changed into our new outfits and Amy changed into her cheerleading uniform did her hair in a high pony tail and. then sprayed the heck out of it with hairspray making sure that there was no way that she would have any flyways after the game.
Once Amy was dong getting changed she looked over at me and still looked like she was not sure how she could get me to actually look decent in the 45 minutes that we had before we had to leave for the game. " alright , come sit I guess its better to start your makeup now instead of waiting until we have to leave." she let out a long breath and turned to her makeup bag pulling out a few items including tweezers " ugg we really should have taken the time to have gotten your eyebrows threaded , I guess I am going to have to try to make the most out of what we have to work with" she looked a little overwhelmed took a breath and got to work starting to pluck some of my stray hairs . luckily we had the same shade of foundation so that was not a big deal. after about 30 minutes Eleanor pulled out her makeup and started to do her usual look " I do not want to do anything too heavy, I mean supposed to be Roger likes the way I look regular right? I mean do you think that I should do anything more then I usually do? I don't know" she looked frustrated and unsure of herself. " look Eleanor , I have not had a chance to talk to Roger about what he is thinking or what his feelings are or anything like that but I would say that you should do exactly what you were doing before, if he likes how you are then there is not a reason to change anything" she gave Eleanor a small smile . " yea for sure El if he liked you the way you have been this whole time then why try to change yourself" I added .Once Eleanor had finished her makeup Amy did her own in under 10 minutes , probably because she had done it a million times and was pretty much a expert, thats kind of what she wanted to be when we grew up and makeup artist, she had started a i********: page of different looks she told us as she had been doing my makeup, it was the first time that she had shared that much with me in a long time . it kind of made me sad that we had grown so far apart.
We reached the school in time to see Drake's bus show up with the schools team and the cheerleaders , I stopped in the middle of the parking lot watching as the players started to climb off the bus and Eleanor almost walked right into me as she was looking at our schools players who were already warming up on the field and was probably trying to spot Roger. "yikes ! sorry Tiny" she then blushed and cringed for using the nickname that Cassey Ashley's best friend had given me in 3rd grade as a joke , she found it hilarious to call me tiny and of course everyone would laugh at how ironic it was to call someone my size tiny. I could tell that Eleanor had not meant to use it in a mean way and she probably felt bad that she had even said it at all , it was kind of my fault for even telling her about the name considering no one had used it yet this year . Incase you could not tell Cassey or Cassandra was probably as big of a bi**h as Ashley was or maybe a little worse , to me Cassey was one of those girls who thrived on being center of attention and needed todo whatever it took to get guys to want to be around her, even if it meant making herself out to be known as super fast when she was your girlfriend and she was definitely
not saving herself for marriage , not that I judge girls for having a bunch of boyfriends or for having s*x, that definitely was not my place to judge anyone, it just seemed strange that if you knew you had a mate that was meant to for you specifically why would you not want to be with that one person what was the point of starting a relationship with someone and having feelings or falling in love with someone who might not even be your mate and then having someone break your heart or breaking their heart. not like i had to worry about that kind of stuff, I really just do not understand the point I guess, maybe if I actually had boys who wanted to date me I would have a different view on it .
I snapped myself out of my thoughts as I noticed the last three players climb off the bus , the first guy was a tall tan guy was dirty blonde guy who had a strong looking jaw and had his hair styled in a similarly messy style as the guy I had seen earlier in the day, the next guy who climbed off the bus was just as tall as the first guy but he his skin was not as tanned but he did have the dirty blonde hair it was styled messy as the first as well, finally the last boy climbed off the bus Haden , as I watched him his eyes immediately found mine and I stopped breathing , we watched each other for a few minutes and finally he made a frustrated face and turned to his friends, they all turned to look at me, the first blonde boy made some comment and they all laughed looking at me and it felt like I had been punched in the stomach , I felt my face flushing red and turned to find Eleanor and ask Amy if she was going to met us after the game to go to the party or not. As I looked around I spotted Eleanor talking to Roger and Amy watching Zeb talk to some of the other cheerleaders looking like she could not make up her mind if she should go try to talk to him or not . I walked over to where Eleanor and Roger were standing and gave my cousin a smile trying my best to not seem intimidated by him, I had a feeling that since he was a alpha he had probably connected with his wolf awhile ago and I know that showing fear or not having confidence around a alpha pretty much was inviting to be picked on it was too tempting for the wolf to resist going after anything that was weaker . "hey Roger," I greeted , my cousin looked at me like he was not sure why i was talking to him. " hey Tiny" he greeted back using to nickname he knew that I hated, it hurt that he was still not willing to be the guy I know that he is I think that it hurt more just from the fact that we had just spent the afternoon with my sister and she had actually been decent, I had kind of expected that things had gone back to semi normal with Roger as well. I should have known better.
Eleanor looked pissed off that Roger could not seem to figure out how to not be a complete a** to his own cousin and her best friend, " hey lets go find a seat and then we can meet up with Amy after the game so that we can all go to the party together" she said to me giving Roger a sharp look , of course he just looked confused like he had no idea what he had done wrong or what he was supposed to do so that Eleanor was not mad at him anymore, he gave me a look almost like he blamed me for Eleanor bing mad at him, I decided that since he did not feel the need to be nice to me that it was ok for me to not try quite as hard as i had planned to, so I did the mature thing and stuck my tounge out at him and turned to walk away and find some seats with Eleanor, I was actually super happy that my friend was choosing me over Roger , we found seats settled in them, a few minutes later a group of girls who I never really talked to called Eleanor over to talk to them, after checking to see if I wanted to go with her and saying she would be right back I focused on Drakes team and the cheerleaders who had just walked onto their half of the field when I heard a voice talking almost sounded like it was talking to me but considering no one ever really talked to me I had no clue who it would be. hey , dummy hello are you going to finally acknowledge me??
