As our first class came to an end, my brother, Leo, and I walked out and towards my next class while I brought up the boy that sat next to me in class. While my brother and I were both capable of handling ourselves, I always preferred walking to class with him so I had someone to talk to if something was on my mind. 

“I don’t get why you were even looking at the guy,” Leo said as we turned down the hall towards my science class, “He looked like your typical quiet kid, you leave him alone and he’ll leave you alone.”

“That’s not the point, Leo,” I said before we stopped outside my class, “There’s something different about him, if we have another class with him try and sit next to him, you’ll see what I mean.” 

“Whatever you say, Sis,” He said before leaving for his second hour. 

I took my seat in the front so I could see the whiteboard as everyone else flooded in, taking their seats. I was in AP Biology this year and while I loved science, I just couldn’t keep my focus on the class. Luckily, it was the first day of school meaning that most of our classes were just doing icebreakers and going over class policies. They were more or less the same throughout the school, so, I didn’t pay too much attention as my mind wandered. 

“Another thing before we get to introductions, I don’t have a problem with you guys using your phones, but please be respectful if and when you do so,” The teacher explained as he wrote some of the policies down, “If you need to answer your phone, step out into the hall.”

I tuned out as he continued lecturing about his rules for the class, back to the boy in my first class with Leo. He had one of his earbuds in and while he was paying attention to the teacher, he was also doodling in his notebook with his music being loud enough for me to hear. I wasn’t going to get my hopes up that maybe this year I would find my mate, but I was curious about that boy, and if Leo would be able to feel what I did earlier. 

“The student you’re sharing a desk with is going to be your partner for this quarter,” The teacher said as he passed out the syllabus, “If you want to change seats, now is the time to do so as I won’t be allowing a change of seats again until next quarter.” 

“Hey Jocelyn,” I heard next to me and looked to my left to see a face I hoped I never would again.

“Hello, Astrid,” I said as I grabbed my bag, “And Goodbye.” 

“Oh, come on,” She said as I moved to a different desk, “Don’t be like that!”

“After the shit that you pulled, I’d rather do the entire semester by myself than work with you,” I said and set my bag in the seat next to mine.

“Astrid, you may join another table if you’d like, Jocelyn, if you don’t want to work with a partner, that’s your choice, but that means that you’ll be doing all the work by yourself. You know that, correct?”

“Not surprising, Teach,” I said before taking out a notebook as things got resituated, with Astrid moving to a different table, and the teacher starting icebreakers.

I took out my phone and sent Leo a text about what had gone down.

‘You’ll never guess who I have science with…’

‘“Guessing by the three dots of dread, I’m assuming it’s someone I wouldn’t like?”’

‘Bingo; Astrid.’

‘“And here I thought our senior year would be at least somewhat drama-free.”’

‘Apparently not, I do want to talk to you about the guy from last hour later, okay?’

‘“Your wish is my command, your highness”’

‘Fuck off, Dimwit, Talk later’ 

I put my phone away and tuned back into the icebreakers as my peers were going around saying their names, something they enjoyed, their favorite class, that kind of thing. I wasn’t entirely paying attention, as I was trying to remain calm knowing that Astrid was in my science class. Astrid was once a friend to Leo and me, we hung out after school all the time, and sometimes she would spend the night at our place. That all changed when she confessed she’d caught feelings for us, and went so far as to claim that she was our mate. Leo and I knew she was lying through her teeth, she may have caught feelings for us, but she was not our mate; That much we could both say with certainty.

“Jocelyn, would you like to go?”

“Sure, why not,” I said before thinking for a second, “My name is Jocelyn, my favorite class is science, and I enjoy learning about mythology.”

“Thank you, Jocelyn,” The teacher said before sitting down at his desk, “With the last few minutes of class, you can talk amongst yourselves, just don’t leave your desks.”

I spent the last few minutes of class with my headset on, listening to a podcast about Greek Mythology. Listening to the podcast helped me keep a level head, and not give Astrid a death glare until the bell rang. As soon as it did, I grabbed my bag and left for the door as quickly as I could. Leo and I didn’t share another class until the last two classes of the day, so I knew I wouldn’t be taking my headset off while I was in the halls. It was a bitter irony to me that I met a boy that didn’t irrationally piss me off, and found out that Astrid went to this school as well, both on the same day. 

“Are there any other curveballs you’d like to send my way, Goddess?”

    Leo After the lovely conversation I had with my sister, I started to remember Astrid, and more specifically, why my sister had a vendetta against her. I didn’t like her at all still, due to our past with her, I just didn’t want to be anywhere near her; My sister, on the other hand, wanted to have her either banished from anywhere our Pack had influence, or fight her. I couldn’t blame her though, in my opinion, Astrid wasn’t even worth our time at this point, but I wasn’t going to tell my sister what to do; The last time I tried to do that, I ended up in charge of both of our chores and more, with my father lecturing me on how it wasn’t my job to order her around. “Hey, Leo,” Ajax, another member of the football team, said as he caught up to me “You heading to the gym?” “Me? No, I’m going to go turn myself in for grand larceny. I accidentally stole a pencil sharpener from the main office, and I’m too lazy to return it,”

    Mason"I thought you said to just steer clear of the Gordon Twins," I said to Ajax as we made our way towards Writer's Workshop."I did, and I stand by that statement, I know Leo because he's also on the football team but that doesn't mean you should," He said before we exited the stairwell towards the ground floor, "The Gordon Twins are nice enough, but it's best to not get involved with them. They're the children of the current Alpha of the Crimson Wolves, one of the most infamous packs in the States, and if you piss them off there's no one on this earth that can save you.""I had both of them in my first class today, and I could've sworn that the sister kept staring at me," I said as we arrived at my class, "I swear I'm not making this up, Ajax.""Then you better pray that she ain't mad at you. She might be more reserved than her brother, but she's just as, if not more, dangerous than him.""Alright, thanks for helpi

    Mason "Need a hand there, bud?" Leo said as I sat on the floor probably looking like an idiot and took his hand to help me back up. "Thank you," I said as I got back up to my feet, "Now if you'll excuse me, I'd rather pretend this whole debacle ever went down." "Leaving so soon? We haven't even gotten your name though," The sister said as I tried to walk past them towards my next class, only for Leo to step in the way blocking my exit. "Why would you want to know my name? I'm nobody important and would like to keep it that way," I said as I looked up to meet Leo's gaze, "And I'd genuinely appreciate it if you moved so I could get to my next class." Leo stood there smirking at me as I tried to get past him again to get to my next class, his sister on the other hand tapped his shoulder and he moved to the side so I could head on to class. She looked at me with a look that held a mixture of curiosity

    Mason It was becoming more and more apparent that I wouldn't be able to avoid the Twins as easily as I thought, if they weren't pestering me in the classes we shared, they were blocking my path to my next class in hopes of talking to me for whatever reason they had. I took a seat in the back again on the other side of where the Twins were sitting to avoid having to talk to them, and put one of my earbuds in while we waited for the teacher to start class. While waiting, I took my notebook and pen out to continue writing the short story I had started earlier on during the day. I usually wrote whenever I was bored, and any stories that I was proud of and thought others would enjoy I would upload to a website that specialized in short stories and poems. While I continued writing, the teacher walked in and started doing introductions but in the best way that I had seen all day."I'm sure you've all heard more t

    JocelynAfter hearing what Mason had said towards the end of our last class of the day, I was torn between wanting to sucker punch my brother and talking to Mason more. Unfortunately, the latter option wasn't available for long as while I was giving my brother the death stare, Mason walked out of class. I contemplated my remaining options before coming to a rational conclusion as to what I should do next; My brother didn't like my choice as we left the class ourselves he went from laughing his ass off to scowling at me for punching him. "You couldn't have punched him? He was the one who made the joke, not me," He said as we made our way down the hall towards the back parking lot. "I could've, but didn't want to; That and I've been holding that punch back since Biology class, you handled it well though," I said before opening the door towards the lot and heading towards my car."Just because I can handle it doesn

    Jocelyn "I'm sorry, but WHAT?!" "I know you heard me, Jocelyn," My dad said as my brother made his back downstairs after hearing me yell. "Part of me doesn't even want to know what you must've said to make her yell, Dad," Leo said before taking a bowl of pasta and sitting down. "Your sister was talking to me about this boy at your school, and I told her that twins can have the same mate." Leo's face had the same expression that mine had, we had been told all our lives that every wolf had their respective mate. Now our father was telling us that it was possible that not only could Mason be my mate, but Leo's too. The look of confusion and shock on my brother's face would've been almost comical if it wasn't for our current situation. It would make sense that Leo got the same vibe from Mason if he was mated to both of us, but that didn't make any sense. "How is it possible for him to be mated to bo

    Leo Judging by my sister's expression, I had brought up something that she either didn't consider a possibility or something she didn't want to talk about. I couldn't blame her, she had despised Astrid for a long time and I honestly believed Astrid was why Jocelyn never really had a childhood. After Astrid confessed that she had feelings for us, and thought that she was our mate, we tried to let her off as kindly as possible but she wouldn't let up. Eventually, it reached a point where Jocelyn snapped at her and we hadn't spoken to her since, I didn't want to and I'm pretty sure Jocelyn would sooner hit her with a phone book. "To be frank, Leo, I hadn't thought about her," She said as she spun in her chair, "I try not to think about her, even if I now have to share a class with her."

"Up that aisle to go talk to someone," I said while pointing up the aisle that Jocelyn ran up, "Though I couldn't advise going up there, you might embarrass her and all that jazz." "Goddess knows I would be just heartbroken if I embarrassed my daughter," He said as we continued shopping, "Do you know who she's talking to?" "It's the guy she was talking about from our school." "If she went to go talk to him, why didn't you join her? Does he make you shy or something?" I looked at my dad in disbelief that he thought that was a possibility, and resisted the urge to roll my eyes. We continued through the store, picking up some snacks and food for dinner the next few days; Before long, Jocelyn caught back up with us carr

    Jocelyn The last thing I was expecting, going into my third-period class, was to get a panicked text from my brother. Even less than that was for me to read the names, Astrid and Mason, in that exact text, making me walk into my next class with one of the fakest smiles I've ever worn. The third period usually was the class that went by the quickest, and held my attention the best, however, with the text from my brother my mind was wandering. Before the class started, I opened my phone to re-read the text and respond to my brother so he knew I had read what he said. 'I've got good news and bad news for you sis, good news is I told Mason our theory on who he is to us...The bad news is that on my way to Gym, Astrid caught up with me and asked about him.' 'This wasn't the best thing to hear going into an English class, we'll talk during lunch, wish me luck at not having a mental breakdown.' 'Good luck, Sis,

    Leo I still have no idea if there's a word to describe the amount of regret I felt when I saw Mason's face shift. What started with him looking like he was curious about my answer shifted to him looking terrified and even more confused than before. I immediately wished I hadn't told him anything and left the talking to Jocelyn, she was a bit better with words than I was. He looked like he was questioning his entire reality before he opened his mouth again. "What do you mean 'You didn't even know would be a possibility? And explain more, please," He said with a mild stammer. "We didn't know it was possible for two wolves to share or have the same mate, we were told our entire lives that it was a one-to-one type deal. As far as the explanation, I can only wish you good luck in getting one, we still don't know if Jocelyn's hunch is true or not." "So it's just a hunch? You'd think that you'd know if I was that important to you two." "You'd think, but we have no clue, ev

    Mason "She did what now?!" "I'm going to take that as a no," Leo said through a low chuckle to avoid ticking off the teacher, "She told me that it was okay, even though I don't entirely have a reason to have it." "I didn't understand why she even wanted it in the first place, I said it before and I'll say it again, I'm a nobody from nowhere and I'd like to keep it that way." "Look, I'm sorry to say this but good luck with that, you've got my sister's attention and some of mine, somehow, and that isn't something easily given away." "And here I thought I'd have a normal school year," I groaned aloud before returning to my writing. Even if I spent a good chunk of my classes writing stories or doodling in my notebook, I managed to pass all my previous schools with mostly Bs and Cs. My father never cared about my grades, so long as I was in school and not bothering him he didn't seem to care, whereas my M

    Mason I woke up the next day early enough in the morning that the sun hadn't started rising, and went downstairs to grab some breakfast. Mom was getting her lunch set up as I got there, she hugged me and wished me good luck at school before leaving for work, and I grabbed a couple of granola bars before walking out to the bus stop. I had my earbuds in listening to music while waiting for the bus when my phone buzzed, taking it out of my pocket the notification was a text from Jocelyn.'We'll see you at class, Leo says hi.''Tell the hulking sheepdog I said hello.''I showed him your calling him a hulking sheepdog and I couldn't describe the look of confusion on his face even if I wanted to.' I put my phone away as the bus pulled up to the bus stop and got on before taking a seat in the back.

    Mason After talking to Jocelyn and giving her my phone number, I caught back up with my mom as she gathered food for the week. We were getting stuff to make chimichangas and guacamole, snack foods, and some sodas before heading to the front to check out. Mom kept asking me questions about how school went and what I thought of the school as we checked out. We got out to the car and I loaded the groceries in the back before sitting down in the passenger seat when my mom gave me a look. "So, are you going to tell me who that girl was that you were talking to? Or is this going to be one of those things that we silently acknowledge?" "I should've known you would've seen her," I said through a nervous chuckle at her comment, "I don't even know how to explain it, Ma.
