Mated at first sight

Chapter 9

I woke from the sound of my alarm, I looked over to my alarm clock and saw it was 6.30 am. "Jeez I hate morning classes." now don't get me wrong I love mornings, well at least when it's not cold outside. It's the beginning of fall and now I have to wake up when it's still dark outside and it is really getting cold.

I got out of bed about 10 minutes later, after an internal battle deciding if school really was more important that a good night sleep. I went to the bathroom put my towel on the heater, striped my pj's and got into the shower. After washing and conditioning my hair and washing my body I got out of the shower. Luckily because of the heater, it wasn't too cold, and my towel was nice and warm. Once I dried myself, I put on a matching set of a navy bra and panties and stood in front of the mirror. "Damn I look like shit". I had bags under my eyes and just looked tired. To be honest I haven't been sleeping well. "Well just suck it up, I have to go to school".

I went into my room and got my favorite Hollister navy hoodie and a pair of light faded jeans, I put on my converse and well that's my outfit, lazy Friday morning. Deciding it was too late to make a cup of coffee, I got my bag and jacket and walked out of the door. On my way to school, I dropped by a coffee shop to get a cup of coffee, because let's be real here, I can't survive an 8 am lecture without a cup of coffee.

As I walked in the coffee shop, I saw a familiar red head at the counter. "Hi Daim" I said as I joined her at the counter.

"Hey Evie, damn girl where have you been, I haven't seen you in ages" She replied as she gave me a hug.

"Hi welcome, what would you like to order?" The barista asked me with a sweet smile

"Can I have a soy cappuccino with a double shot of espresso please" I replied to the barista. I turned to face Daimy again "Yeah I know, I was kind of busy" I said with a fake smile, hoping she wouldn't ask any further.

"Sure, that will be $3.50 please" I gave her a 5-dollar bill and told her to keep the change.

"Aren't we all." She laughed. "We should go out tonight, I mean it's Friday, me, you, Maya and Kristin. Like we used to at the beginning of the year." I thought about what she said, I mean it would be nice to just act normal for a night. Not thinking about Ashton or being a wolf.

"You know what, you're right, it would be fun. I will text Kristin later, because she's probably still sleeping. I mean it" I looked at my phone. "Shit its 7.50 I have to run but I will text you later okay" I took my coffee of the counter and almost ran to school. Not really running because I don't want to drop my coffee. At exactly 8.01 am I went into the classroom.

"Nice of you to join us miss Cross, take a seat, I was just about to talk about cell types." I nodded and took my seat. Seriously I was just a minute late.

"As you all know, all humans are made from and off cells. The beginning of a human life starts with a fertilized egg, which divides and makes multiple copies. Those copies make copies etc. etc. they also undergo differentiation which allows the cells to specialize functions, those functions will form tissue. There are four tissue types within a body, muscle, nervous tissue (organ system), connective tissue (connects, separates, and supports all other types of tissues in the body) and epithelial tissue (form the covering of all body surfaces, line body cavities and hollow organs). These four tissues form organs, these organs will perform a specific function in the body. This is for both humans and animals --" The teacher explained

The rest of the class was pretty much all about cells, how the regenerate, how they are built, what they look like etc. The rest of the day was pretty much all classes. Calculus, Biochemistry, Statistics and Lab where we learned about cells again, just under a microscope. I didn't see Daimy the rest of the day and I also didn't run into Kristin or Alex, which was kind of odd as I usually saw them during lunch.
