Chapter 3 "First Day of Senior Year"

Elijah P.O.V.

"Leave now!"

They didn't ask questions; they just disappeared. Then, finally, they all went inside the school.

Thirty Minutes Later...

 Avery P.O.V.

 I was down off the flagpole; I was glad to be down...

 "I can't believe them, assholes!" My friend Ashely said, looking towards the guys seeing Jayson high-fiving Elijah down the hallway by the lockers surrounding them with the guys and girls worshiping them like their kings. "They will never grow the fuck up!" She said with a growl, and she was breathing fast and hard. I could tell she was getting pissed because of what happened this morning. She needed to calm down, or something would-"Hey! Dickheads!" Oh, no, too late. I thought in my head.

 Elijah P.O.V.

 After this morning's show, I left her there, walked into the school with my friends, and went to our new locker. I was feeling awful about what I had done to her. But I needed to show them all I was going to be a strong Alpha, and I couldn't let them see a weakness even in Avery, aka my little wallflower nerd. 

 After about a couple of minutes, I saw Avery and her friends walk through the door; when we locked eyes, I saw the red of her eyes. I made her cry. Then my heart somehow felt it was breaking.

 But why? I didn't feel anything like a nerd, and she was beneath me. That was when my cousin Jayson came up to me. He high-fived me. I smiled, and we started laughing and talking, but my eyes didn't move from hers. I saw the sadness and pain in her beautiful blue eyes. 

 That was when her cousin Ashely, her name, started pointing at us and yelling across the hallway. Then, I heard, "Hey!Dickheads!" That was when Jayson's smile dropped, and he turned toward her. He had a look in his eyes. "Now, you want to talk about dick, huh, baby," he said and grabbed his crotch and winked at her. I started shaking my head and laughing. 

 Oh, man, my cousin was a character sometimes. But it became of Ashley William that brought the big bad wolf. I grinned over and saw Avery blushing. But she wasn't looking at Jayson but at me with her big beautiful- I mean huge eyes. So what was wrong with me? I shook my head and went back laughing with Jayson and the rest of the guys.

 Avery P.O.V.

 "Grr...I can't believe that asshole!" Ashley yelled out. Everyone surrounding us was staring, but she didn't care. When Jayson told her about a dick, he showed her by grabbing his crotch.

Just like he did when he was outside before school started. "I hate Jayson Woods!" She said out loud, and people were staring at her. So she yelled, and they all ran from a mad crazy she-wolf going to bite someone's head off, and that person on her shit list was Jayson Woods!

 "What the fuck you are looking at!!" Ashely then turned and looked at the people walking and staring at us in the hallway. They all ran away when she yelled at them. " Ashley? Calm down, and he's not worth it." I told her. That was when she was folding up her fist and staring over at him. He was laughing and pointing at her with his buddies. "Oh, I want to punch his face out!" She told Natalie and me. She was blushing because Eli Wallace, their friend, was staring over at her.

 Natalie? We were staring at her; she blinked and looked back at us.

 "Huh?" She said with red cheeks. Ashely rolled her eyes and spoke.

 "Come on, lover girl." Ashely looked one more time over at Jayson, and he was still staring at her with a big smile on his face. But she flipped him off and his smile dropped. Ashely's face lighted up with her badass grin on her beautiful face.

 She started walking away, blowing him a kiss and smiling.

 I walked behind her, and I could see the heat of his eyes on her. He was watching her every move. But I stopped in my tracks when I saw Elijah's dark blue eyes giving me chills, and I could feel my body heating up. What? in the world, I thought. Why was I feeling that way? I heard Angelstar in my head.

 "Because you are going to be in heat. Once that happens, your mate is near. So, calm down, hot pants!" She said, laughing. I could hear her in the back of my mind.

 "Stop it, or I won't let nice wolfie come out for our nightly run," I told her with so much sass. I laughed when she growled and huffed and bulled in the back of my mind. I chuckled in my mind and shook my head, and started walking down the hall towards my first class with my best friends. I felt heat in the back of my neck. I knew he was staring at me again. If I looked back, he was still there staring at me. So, I tried not to look. But I turned my head a little bit. I gasped, and there he was staring at me as I said.

 Oh, my God, why is he staring at me?

 "I don't know, Ave; maybe you have something on your face." I had thought. So, with him not seeing me, he took my hand slowly up my face. I wiped, but I didn't see anything come off.

 I heard Angelstar laugh. I rolled my eyes at her inside my mind.

 I went out of my mind, and I started paying attention to what was around me. I don't need anyone seeing I am crazy. I do not want people to think I am crazy, because there are not just magical creatures here. There are humans, aka normal humans. So, we got to watch what we do. I remember one time last year one of the football jocks, who was an ogre angry when a human guy bumped into him down the hallway. 

 He pretty much fucked that human guy up! Thank God Elijah and the rest of the football team stopped him before killing the poor bastard.

 I wasn't paying attention when I was in my thoughts. That's when I looked behind me. I gasped.

 When I looked over my shoulder, that's when I saw Elijah Woods  and Jake Stone, Matthew Steele and Andrew Bradford were staring at me with a cocky grin on their faces.

 Okay, what is up with that? I thought to myself, with a confused expression on my face?
