His Wolf Mate

Chapter 3

It was the day you've been dreading, the first day of school. You stopped at the front gates of the school, wishing that you would rather be anywhere else but here. You remember what the last three years was like which was only tolerable because you had Yuri by your side. Let's just get this over with, the sooner this school year ends the better. With a heavy sigh you forced your feet to walk forward. As you walked towards you locker, you felt someone's arm around you neck followed by a familiar voice. "I see you're excited to start the new year." You didn't need to turn your head to realize who the voice belonged to. "Yea, can't you tell by the happy smile on my face, Jihoon?" The boy known as Jihoon gave you a laugh to your sarcastic remark. He was one of the only boys both you and Yuri could tolerate and have a decent conversation with, aside from a couple other boys who were his friends. The two of you are not exactly close, but you find him to be good company sometime. "Don't worry, it will be over before you know it. By the way, where's your bestie?" Jihoon asked as he scans his head around the crowded corridor. "I don't know. But she should be here soon." You proceeded to open your locker. "Alright, well, I'm gonna go hang with the guys before class starts. I'll catch you later." You gave a wave goodbye as Jihoon disappeared down the corridor.

As soon as you were done gathering all your materials, someone slammed your locker door close; nearly crushing your fingers. "Well, look who we have here. You're still alive, I see." You turned your head and came face to face with Jia. You also noticed her two friends who were always right behind her. "Aww, are you disappointed I'm still here?" You sarcastically retorted. "Don't be silly. If you were gone I would have to find another play thing to mess with, and it's already too late into the year for me to do that." You rolled your eyes at Jia's condescending attitude. "Don't you have better things to do in the morning? You know, besides annoy me to death?" Jia gave you a smirk. "Of course I do, but messing with you is just my favorite past time." You could hear her two little minions snickering behind her. "Oh, is it, now?" Jia and her friends turned around, obviously started by Yuri's presence. "Geez. What are you, a ghost? You almost gave me a fucking heart attack!" Yuri had her hands folded across her chest. Not at all amused at seeing her friend in this situation. "No, but I promise you that if I do die, I'll be sure to come back and haunt you." You stifled a giggle at her response. "Hmph, whatever. I have more important things to do than waste my time with the likes of you two." And with that she and her friends stormed off.

"Sorry, I'm late. She didn't do anything to you, did she?" Yuri asked as she gave you a worried look. "Aside from almost chopping off my fingers with my own locker? No. But don't worry. I have fast reflexes." You wiggled your fingers around to show her that your hand is fine. Yuri gave you a laugh at your attempt to ease her worry. She proceeded to open her locker, which was right next to yours, and grabbed her materials for class. "Oh yea, Jihoon was looking for you." Yuri closed her locker with a sigh. "Again? He needs to stop fanboying over me." You laughed at her sarcastic comment and proceeded to head towards your homeroom together. "Hey! He has good taste. You're one of the prettiest girls here in school." Yuri playfully punched your arm. "Awww, thank you for saying so, bestie." The two of you shared a smile as you both entered the classroom.

The bell rang, indicated that class was about to start soon. All of the students took there seats and waited for the teacher. You took your seat in the row next to Yuri and got out everything you needed. As soon as you were done, the door to the classroom opened followed by the teacher and seven other boys. Seven incredibly tall and handsome boys who looked like they could be models. The girls started to squeal excitedly while the boys started to whisper among each other. The teacher stood behind the podium and cleared his throat. At that, everyone in the classroom quieted down. They were eager to know more about the new students. "As you can see class, we have some new students who will be joining us today. Please be friendly and helpful to them as they transition into the new school year. Now please, introduce yourself to your new classmates." As soon as the teacher finished talking, he turned his heads towards the new students to indicate that it was their turn to speak. The boys introduced themselves one by one. "I'm Jay B. Jinyoung. Bambam. Yugyeom. Jackson. Youngjae. Mark." By the time the last boy introduced himself, he was making eye contact with you the whole time. Only breaking it when the teacher cleared his throat again. "Very well. Take your seats boys as I'm about to take attendance." The seven new students scattered to different parts of the classroom. Mark already knew where he was headed as he took the seat next to you. Upon hearing a chair being pulled out, you turned your head to your right and was instantly greeted by a mesmerizing smile from Mark. Slightly panicking, you quickly turned your head the other way to avoid looking at him.
