Chapter Five

************

Rose's POV

************

"How was your night?" He asked as his lips curled into a small smile.

"Fine and yours?" I replied with a smile also.

"Perfect." He answered and faced Hadley who did nothing but gulp nervously.

Serves her right!

"Hmmm... Good morning..." Hadley and her minions stuttered. I chuckled.

"What is good about the morning?" Levi asked and pressed my lips together to prevent myself from bursting out.

"Is it trying to bully a pack member or not going to class as early as you should?" He questioned with an harsh glare.

"Oh, I am sorry... I actually came to tell her about the end of the year party we will be having at Collins' place this Friday." She replied. I scrunched my eyebrows as I heard this.

A party?!

"Then you could have told her and left." Levi said. Hadley turned to look at me. "Expecting you." She forced a glare at me while I just stared blankly at her.

Why would Hadley invite for a party?

"Hey, let's go." Levi's voice brought me back from my thoughts. I then used the chance to take proper look at him

He was clad in a white with blue strips t-shirt and a denim jeans which showed his... Coughs...

We walked to our classes. You don't expect me to describe my Alpha like that. I chuckled.

"And this is the end of the class." The teacher announced. After changing periods (classes) for five different time and going for lunch break, the bell finally rang and the students soon dispatched. I exited my class and was about to move into the adjoining corridor when I bumped into someone.

"Oops, sorry." I said with an apologetic look.

"It's nothing." I heard a female voice say. I rolled my eyes.

"Seems the lecture Levi gave you this morning was not enough." I scoffed.

"Ohh.. I'm scared... Actually, all I just came to tell you was that don't forget to come to the party." Hadley said. I stared at her with skepticism.

"And why should I come?" I asked and folded my arms.

She beamed an humorless smile. "I just don't want you to feel different." She said with a stupid pout and walked off. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Leaving yet?" I heard Levi say behind me. I nodded. He was the one that always drops me at my house in the afternoon.

We hopped into his car and he drove straight to my house. He turned on the speaker and it soon started booming with song. I moved my head as I listened to the lyrics. I looked outside of the window.

What am I living for?

Levi parked in front of my house.

"Thank you so much." I said as I got down. He smiled at me and waved. I waved back.

I am so lucky to have someone like him. I turned around and saw the familiar house I have lived in for the past nine years.

I walked in and knocked on the door. I frowned when I got no response. My mother is usually back at this time. Then I pushed the door open and saw my mother sitting down on the couch, just reading a book.

"Oh, you are back." She said without looking at me. I nodded my head in response as I walked up the stairs without waiting for any word from her. A breath of relief escaped my lips and dropped my bag pack on my bed.

Pulling off my clothes, I stepped into the bathroom and had a cool bath before coming out.

I wrapped the towel round me and I skimmed through my clothes. I pulled a cream colored tank top and a grey pair of bomber shorts. I poured my hair down.

I need to inform my mother about the party. I walked out of the room and down heh stairs.

"Mom, I will be going for a party as Collins house tomorrow." I announced to her. I got no reply from her and breathed out. Not like she is against me going.

I don't have any close female friends. At least I had, but when they discovered that I had no wolf, they all stayed at arms' length away from me. I did not blame them.

I don't know why. I feel like I should not go to the party tomorrow but who am I kidding?

I love fun. Not like I get opportunities like this every time.

"Hey." A message beeped on my phone. I looked at the screen and saw it was Levi's.

I smiled and clicked on it.

"Hi." I replied.

"Eaten?" He asked and I chuckled.

"Nope and you?" I replied.

One of the most awkward conversation is going on right now.

"Yessss." He answered.

"Ohh, will eat soon." I sent.

"Hmmm." He sent back. I furrowed my eyebrows and thought about what to reply him.

"Are you coming to the party?" I asked, changing the topic. Sometimes, I don't know why. The discussion between he and I just goes awkward like he is nervous or something.

"Yes. I have to go train. Talk to you later." He sent back. Well, he just ended the discussion he started himself. I sighed and climbed off the bed.

I checked the time on my phone, it was 5:15 PM.

Guess, I have to watch some videos. I ran down the stairs to collect some popcorn when I saw my mother with her friends. They all stared at me like I was some alien. I threw little glares at them and walked into the kitchen. I carried a bowl of popcorn and some juice before heading upstairs.

I sat down and tuned in the the dramas I had categorized in my 'watch later' list.

*Next day*

~In the evening ~

We did not do something much today. Since it is the last day of school. All we was revision. Hadley did not forget to stop by and remind me of coming to the party tonight.

I pulled a black leather jacket and short red Scottish skirt. I wore a white polo and marched it with a pair of black boots. Hey, don't blame me. My fashion sense is not that perfect.

Grrr! Grrr! Grrr!

My phone rang and I quickly picked it.

"Hey, babe. I'm outside your house." Levi said.

"Okay, I am on my way out." I said, applying the finishing touch to my lips and spraying some perfumes on me. I breathed out and carried my little red purse. I hurried out of the house.

"Bye, mom." I yelled.

I smiled when I saw Levi outside his car. He had one leg leaning against the car and another on the ground.

What a perfect gentleman.

He was dressed in a red shirt that had an opening in his chest area and a black pair of trousers. He did not pull the buttons. He had muscles so he was ready to flex them. He looked so huge and manly. I gulped hard.

Wondering why I never had a crush on him?

Because I don't want my heart to break.

Actually, he is not a playboy but nah!. I am not wasting my time fantasizing on him. He looked up at me. He must have sniffed me.

"You can take a picture. It would last." He teased. I rolled my eyes and walked towards him.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." I said as I got to him. He smiled.

"It's nothing." He pulled the door of the car open and I entered. Such a gentleman he is.

"Ready?" He asked as he got into the car and clicked the seatbelt. I sniffed in the air and mint mixed with a wood scent filled my nostrils. He looked at me with a smirk. Then I realized, I just sniffed him. I blushed and looked away shyly.

"You need some training, dummy." He joked and I rolled my eyes.
