The Girl Who Cried Wolf

Ch.8

    With this so called 'Johnathan' lurking around, Carter didn't let me out of the packs sight. Even though he was still very, very angry with me about the whole revenge situation. I don't know why, but he was definitely protecting me for some reason. What was that reason? I had no idea.

   Everywhere I looked someone from the pack just "happened" to be staring at me. Carter though had no where to be seen, but I just knew this was his doing.

  Speak of the devil, for the first time today I saw him. Carter came strolling down the hall. I stomped up to him and grabbed him by his collar and pulled him into the janitors closet.

  "Well hello there. You know if you wanted to get me in a dark room alone, all you had to do was ask sweetheart." He smirked.

  "First, don't call me sweetheart. Second, I just want to talk and nothing else. And third,"

  "Ow!" He yelled as I smacked the back of his head.

  "Getting violent I see. Gotta say I like this side of you, sweetheart." He grinned.

   "Really?" I asked sweetly.

   "Believe it." He smiled and leaned closer, as I was doing the same.

   As soon as he got very close I smacked him on the head again.

   "Ow! Seriously woman! You have a problem with being violent!"

  "No, that's only for you." I said sweetly.

  "Is there something you wanted besides beating me up?"

  "Oh! Yes, I almost forgot! Stop making people in the pack follow me around."

  "I have no idea what you talking about."

  "Unless you want another head injury I suggest you clue yourself in."

  "Fine! I admit I did it! But, I'm telling them to stop. Johnathan is out there looking for you and I need you to be protected. He's just waiting for you to be alone before he gets to you."

  "Why is he after me?"

  "Reasons that you can't know right now. But I promise, that when you find out, you'll understand why I'm protecting you."

  "You don't have to protect me."

  "Yes, I do. He likes a challenge, and you being your stubborn self, he won't stop until he gets you."

  "I can protect myself."

  "Sweetheart, I have no doubt in my mind about that. But, your still new to being one of us. He'll take advantage of that. Please, just trust me."

  This time I allowed him to call me sweetheart, after all he was protecting me. I silently nodded to him as a yes. He put an arm around my waist and led me out off the closet. Thankfully the bell had rang and no one was in the hall to witness us coming out together with his arm on my waist.

  "Can I at least walk you to class, you know since you did give me a head injury." He asked.

  Jokingly, I sighed. "If you insist."

   "Oh, I insist!" He laughed.

   The whole rest of the day I had been getting weird looks.

   "Eli! Do you know why I've been getting looks all day?" I asked her as she tool her seat by me at lunch.

   "Oh! I don't know! It may have something to do with, and this may just be a hunch, but maybe you going into a dark closet alone with a certain pack leader some might say is very attractive and not coming out for twenty minutes. That might be it." She stated.

   "Oh my! Why do these things happen to me?!"

   "You'll find out eventually." She mumbled.

   "What?"

   "I said... Mfjdodjbdbhjsjben." She said stuffing food into her mouth.

   "Okayyy."

   "So, what is going on with you and Carter?" She asked after she swallowed.

   "Nothing, yet."

   "Yet?"

   "We've only known each for under a week!"

   "If only you knew."

   "Well! Ms. Secretive! What about you and Justin? I've seen the way you two look at each other."

   "I don't know what your talking about! And anything you say I'm going to ignore so you might as well quit while your at it!"

   "Someone's cranky." Justin said sitting beside her while Carter sat next to me.

   "Sorry. Its just my mom had to come in early for a meeting this morning and my car is in the shop again so I had to wake up at four this morning." She rambled.

   "Want to know how to cure a bad day?" Carter asked, taking a french fry off my tray.

   "Hey!" I exclaimed.

   "What?" He asked innocently.

   "Don't touch my food!"

   "WanT it bAcK?" He asked chewing it in his mouth.

   "Ew! No thanks, I'm good."

   "Your loss!"

   I shoved his shoulder and Eli laughed.

   "See! Your bad day is cured!" Carter exclaimed.

   "Haha I guess your right." Said Eli.

   "You took my fry to make Eli happy?" I whispered to Carter while Eli was distracted by Justin.

   "Yes, but I really did want a french fry."

  I laughed."Remember that head injury?"

   "Yeah, why?"

   "Touch my food again and your gonna get another!" I threatened.

   He laughed.

   "Oh, you laugh! But I wasn't kidding!" I told him eating the rest of my fries.
