Chapter Eight - Eavesdropping -

Loclyn POV 

Standing in a new classroom full of new people again. It's starting to get old. Fourth school in two years. Yay. Not. I thought as the teacher ushered me to Introduce myself to these students. Do I really have to? I thought as I did the same routine as always. I started to introduce myself when I noticed a lonely looking skeleton of a girl at the back of the classroom. She wore a massive hoodie, it's way too hot for jumpers I thought to myself.

 No sooner, did I catch myself staring at this mysterious girl, she looked up enough for me to catch her eyes. Captivating that was the first thought I had. Her eyes were this Golden yellow, streaks of pearlescent, running through them like lighting shards. I've never seen that colour before. It had me entranced. They were beautiful and round. Her hair from what I could see was blonde, but the tips were a very light reddish pink. Strawberry blonde hair I corrected myself. She was stunning in every way and had my undivided attention. 

Wow was my second thought as she quickly covered her face again and rushed out of the classroom not paying any mind to me or anyone else for that matter. Finishing my introduction and nodding to Mr Crayton I'm pretty sure his name was I found myself following her out of the classroom.

"I need to know who she is and why she has my attention. '' I said out loud by accident. Looking around to see if anyone heard me. Thankfully, no-one did. Now that could have been embarrassing. 

"Look out, here comes the she beast" one girl said. "Don't make eye contact" said another "Why is she at this school?" some guy growled 

"Seriously why did daddy even let the crossbred mutt-beast in this school" said the most stuck up, bimbo, wannabe, entitled Mongrel I have ever seen. 

"She doesn't even know who she is, it's a shame really, so beautiful too" I heard but when I looked around, I couldn't tell who said it. 

Still following her I slowed my pace and decided to strike up a conversation with the annoying daughter of my new Alpha in the hopes of getting a little closer to knowing who this mysterious girl was without being found out for the time being. 

I pretended to be listening to this girl rave on about her expensive no repercussions life, even though we all knew her Dad did not have money. She flaunted her expensive everything and boasted about expensive trips. You could tell that some of these wolves blamed her for how, poor this pack but she didn't care. Seeing this mysterious, yet beautiful girl walking my way I wasn't the only one to notice. Erica did too. She turned her nose up and scoffed at the fact she was coming this way. 

"Why did my dad even let her come to school here" she said with distaste in her tone 

"What was he thinking Erica, like it's bad enough she's a cross breed, but to show her face pfftt it's like she thinks she is better than us."! One of Erica's so-called friends said. 

"A cross breed" I questioned, raising my eyebrow looking straight at Erica. 

"A hybrid duurrr"! Erica replied. 

"Yeah, a Vamp cross Wolf or something, whatever. She is an abomination and brings shame to the wolves." Erica's friend said and not ever brightly said either. 

"So just because she is different you shun her" I asked in a serious voice. 

"Well, no, she only ever wears those clothes. She smells funny and she lives outside the pack with a dirty old creep." Erica quickly says to me in the hope it helped her not look so shallow. 

Wow, this girl is dumb I thought to myself. When my mystery girl was about to go to her locker, I noticed it was right next to me so I intentionally took a tiny step in front of her. No sooner did I do that she walked right into my chest. She stumbled backwards and it was a reaction to catch her, it shocked even me. I'm not one to just react like that. I kind of have always liked when people fall and get hurt. Especially in training. 

When I heard the gasps around me, I yanked her a little too hard to her feet and almost sent her face planting into her locker. I groaned inwardly at myself, but I couldn't let everyone think anything at all yet when it came to her and how I felt. 

Because let's face it, I'm new here, she's an outcast and I don't know how I feel about her. I don't understand anything right now other than I want to get to know her. I pause for a split second and correct myself again. I need to get to know her. This seems to be becoming a habit of correcting myself. That's new and I'm not sure I like it. 

After that near miss kiss to her locker we had a bit of an interaction you could call it. She broke my fucking nose, then has the hide to hand me a tissue with the same smile I gave her. I was, I'll admit a bit of a dick to her. But I can't have anyone find out just yet that I want to get to know her. Well not until I know why I want to get to know her but to break my nose. Damn she is feisty, and I got to say, I like it. 

As we finished our little altercation, I swung my arm around Erica and started walking off laughing a fake laugh at whatever she said. I didn't pay attention to it. I was too busy looking over my shoulder at this beauty. Seeing her locker step forward to her locker I turned back around so she didn't see me looking at her again and that's when I heard her call out "Thank you" in a sarcastic tone. 

Just as I looked back, she was already scurrying off in the direction of the cafeteria. I felt a little pain course through my chest at the sight of her leaving and so rushed like. I shook my head not understanding why but now there's no time to think about it further. 

I said goodbye to the group I was talking to and decided I'd get a bite to eat before leaving for my new home, hoping she'll be there. I reached the lunchroom in no time at all and as I went to stride in like I owned the place, I stopped myself when I saw her through the doors, there she was talking to the lunch lady, umm Wendy I think her name was. I met her at lunch time. She seemed nice enough. A friendly old gal. She had to introduce herself and make me feel welcomed.

I walked inside the doors about to go straight up to her and say hello when I heard her very much yell out of nowhere 

"Wendy, do you think I have a mate?" 

Hmmm, that's an odd thing to blurt out but hey this is getting juicy.. I'll just sit my ass down here over there quietly and listen for a little while. Yep, that's what I'll do. I thought rubbing my hands together, slipping in through the doors unheard and not noticed. I sat still and very silent just listening like a good eavesdropping boy.
