BEAST ACADEMY

Third Chapter

Eveline's POV

Maeve and I were on our way to the dining hall, we were laughing and talking about our favorite food, songs, celebrities, and other things. She was a good listener and friend, I've never had someone who would agree on the same things with me... but now I have.

"Haha, yeah, his new song is such a masterpiece!" she exclaimed, "Absolutely, I guess now I have a new crush, you can't blame me! He is such a cutie!" I chuckled and gasped when Maeve roughly stopped and stretched her arm making me stop and look in front of us, "Oh, girls, you are talking about me?" we didn't notice that we already were standing near the dining doors and there was a blond-haired boy with narrow, blue eyes like a cat have and very athletic body. He was gorgeous and by his look, you can say that he knows it.

"Argh! Eric, never in a million years we will talk about you," Maeve said annoyed with his presence, "Ouch, that hurts," he dramatically soothed his chest and corrected his white Guess polo shirt.

"F**k off already!" she snapped at blondie but he only ruffled his hair and it was like he enjoyed her every reaction.

"You know I never will, by the way, who is this pretty creature beside you?" he asked biting his lower lip, finally looking at me.

"Oh, heck no! She is not like one of your chicks, so please don't try to take her to bed!" she said with anger and her eyes began to glow yellow.

Hmm...why she is so furious towards him? I don't want to be on this guys' side but Maeve is so hilarious.

"Ooh, are you jealous my love?" he said, tilting his head to the side smirking, revealing his perfect, white teeth.

Like, how the hell his appearance is so perfect? I can't even find one small fault in his body...

"Ha! Me? Jealous? You wish, Eric" she crossed her arms and made a confident look.

"Yeah, yeah, sure you are not," he smirked while mocking her.

"So, What's your name?" he came closer, wanting to lift my chin but I dodged back. "I am Eveline! Hate to be so rude but we need to go, plus, I am hungry, so, Ciao!" I took Maeve by the elbow and went straight to the hall, leaving Eric hanging his mouth open.

"Wait! What the f**k just happened! Did you just...Am I hallucinating?" she stopped, looking around playfully, making me hold my laughter. "Come one! Don't tell me that you thought I would fall for him!" when these words left my mouth she nervously bit her lip. "He-e-e-ey!" I widened my eyes and she immediately began, "You are the first girl who ditched Eric White! Did you see his face? It was priceless! And about that...I didn't think anything," she laughed,

"I can handle any charm" I smirked, "If you handled Eric's charm then I am sure you can handle any other."

This dining hall was like in Hogwarts but without chandeliers. I was amazed by these big tables on which were so many foods, starting from American food ending with Russian.

There were three big tables where sat students, and in the end, was a horizontal table where was sitting King Alexander with two guys and one auburn-haired girl which was a copy of him, maybe she is his sister? Oh, and an old woman didn't notice her there.

"Hey, come here Eveline!" I went towards Maeve and sat on the wooden chair near King's table was sitting with others. Near Maeve was Theo, and in front of her sat no other than Mister perfects himself.

"Oh god!" she palmed her face and groaned annoyingly when she faced Eric.

"Hello love," he said satisfied with her reaction.

"God, why? What I have done to be in his company?" she groaned, looking into the ceiling. I laughed checking them together. There is something between them, some sort of chemistry going on...

Alright, I am their number one shipper!

"Please, give some attention to your king!" one of the guys who had black hair with dark-grey strands in some places. He sat on the right side of Alexander. His Highness stood up and gained everyone's attention, "Thank you, Zach. I wanted to thank God for all of you, you are my family, and I am glad to be the ruler of such people. I just want you to know, I will protect everyone even if it will cost me life!" he said taking a sip of his glass.

"God, bless the King!!" everyone said in sync which made me...angry? I don't why, but it made me so uneasy that he is a King.

That's when I met his breathtaking eyes, we were looking into each other for at least five minutes straight before Maeve interrupt our eye contact, calling me, "Hey, what are you dreaming about?" she asked,

"Huh? Nothing," I removed my look from Alexander but he didn't... and I looked at the food in front of me, Maeve a hundred percent noticed me staring at Alexander, when I thought about this she exclaimed, "Ooh, you are dreaming about our hotty king" she smirked and began to giggle.

"What!? No! I am not! I...I just...just..." I began to feel guilty and searched for an excuse, "Yeah, yeah, you are dreaming about this gorgeous man, am I right?" she smirked,

"Oh, Maeve! Stop this!" I felt uncomfortable and began to stuff my mouth with some mashed potatoes, thinking she will leave me...but no.

"Okay, but you know he is a Royal, it means that he is a dragon shifter, noble blood" she stated, "Wut?" I asked in complete shock.

How do dragons look like?

She began to laugh at me. "Oh my god, haha, your cheeks! You are like a chipmunk!" she cried from the laughter, and I felt embarrassed because of her everyone's attention were on me, even Alexander looked at me, but he wasn't laughing like everyone else, he was looking at me with curiosity, it was like he waited for my reaction.

I already swallowed everything in my mouth and burned Maeve with my dead glare, she began to stutter, "Eve...Eveline, I...I am so..sorry...I just... it was funny, agree on this!" she said suddenly feeling ashamed, "Don't you dare do this again." I was calm but in my words were so much poison, even Eric who heard it, looked at me suspiciously.

"Of course," she said batting her eyelashes. Other people who were sitting there couldn't dare look at me or say anything to me, good. I ate everything that was on my plate and then I felt someone's hand on my lap... or maybe someone dropped a napkin? Please let it be a napkin!

Maeve and Eric were actively talking about something or more sort of arguing and Theo was laughing with some guy.

I turned my head to the left and saw...How? When? It is not a napkin... It was a guy who was sitting near Alexander, Um...his name was...Zach? Zachary? Whatever, the main question is why his hand is on my lap?!

"What the f**k!?" I squeaked but made a furious look. "Wowow, relax, haha" he laughed taking away his hand and smiled showing his teeth and...HOLY SH*T! IS THIS A REAL FANGS? "How did you come here so fast and quiet? I didn't notice you come here when I was looking at your table!" I asked confused looking into his icy blue eyes.

"Oh, so you are new here," I need to write on my forehead that I am a new student! "Exactly," I said faking a smile while he chuckled, "Well, nobody told you that every shifter has one sort of a gift?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. Seriously? Gift?

"Nope," I popped 'p' in the end, and he began telling me, "Well, God gave power to every shifter, the gift can be, super strength, invisibility, flying, reading minds, or teleportation which I have, or any other!" he stated, smiling wide, making me look at his fangs.

Wow, damn, that's cool! Interesting what power will I have? "Cool, always wanted to teleport somewhere...away from everyone and everything, somewhere quiet and calming," I said dreamily, thinking of a house in Hamptons, where we used to go when I was a child.

"We can make that," he smirked, and God, I swear every single guy here shares the same devilish smirk! "Um?" I nervously exhaled while he warmed up his muscles.

"But first, what is your name? I am Zach, by the way" he smiled and offered his hand, "Eveline. And I will call you...Zachary" I smiled and he raised his eyebrows, "Didn't expect that, everyone is calling me Zach, nobody in this Academy is calling me by my full name, well except for my brother. When he is trying to show off he says in a stern voice 'Zachary!' " he seemed happy about this,

"I hate to call people by their nicknames, I think a name never should be shortened," I said confidently and he nodded. "You are an interesting person, Eveline. I am glad that I met you." I only give him a small smile and then we were interrupted by guess who? Can someone please give me a minute to talk to a person! Why everyone tries to interrupt me?

"Ooh, look who went down from the Olymp, our dear Zach," Eric said putting his forearms on the table, "Good evening to you too, Eric," Zachary answered not even looking at him but eventually giving him a smile and after rolled his eyes.

"Eveline, can I steal you for an hour," Zachary whispered in my ear and to be honest I was dumbfounded about what is happening and what will. "Um..." I couldn't even finish as he took my hands and said "I will count it as 'yes" and in a second we were on the Academies...no way! A roof?

"Oh! What the!?" I barely fell from the roof but Zachary held my hand tight and pulled me closer to him. He pulled me too hard to him and accidentally I wrapped my hands around his thick neck.

"Oh god, I am sorry, so sorry, I...I am sorry, I don't know what I am doing, It just, I could fall, and you pulled me closer and then..." I gibbered, couldn't say anything else, his lips found mine and he was kissing me so hungrily as he was starving. It wasn't natural...it was aggressive.

I kissed him back but then I realized that he didn't ask my permission and I've known him for only five minutes! Nice job, Eve, kissing strangers! Cool!

I opened my eyes and pushed him away from me "What the hell are you doing?" I asked really annoyed and I felt...again, someone was trying to break free and I saw my reflection from the marble floor, my eyes turned purple like an iris.

"I am sorry! It's all full moon, I swear! It affects me!" he gibbered, trying to calm me down. "If you're again doing such a stupid thing to me, I WILL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!! No jokes." What is wrong with me? It's like ...It's not me, I would never threaten someone! I couldn't control myself! Oh god, I need to calm down. "Yes, I understood you, sorry, I just gave up to the lust...sorry" he lowered his sigh and put his hands into the front pockets of his black ripped jeans. "Alright, I...I am tired, please, teleport me to my room." I calmed myself by taking a few steady breaths and he nodded, taking my hand in his.

Zachary teleported me to the hallway where was my room door. He was silent, so do I. I entered my room not even saying goodnight or goodbye to him, I just slammed the door in front of his face and made my way to the bed...

I don't know what's happening to me, and I am so freaking tired. I need some sleep and maybe I will wake up somewhere normal. I closed my eyes and instantly fell to my dear dream with a perfect scenario.
