Their Mate

Chapter Ten.

Micah Swan had gotten very little sleep the night before. His mind plagued with images of the tall dark wolf.

He was so deep in his mind that he didn't even register that he had made it to school. Today the biology classes where being taken out of school for a field trip to a compost site.

With his hand gripping the strap of his bag, Micah stared at the yellow school busses at the other end of the car park.

A mop of brown hair obscured his vision. Looking down, he saw Jessica twirling a strand of hair around her finger, "Micah?" She asked in a sultry voice.

"Would you go to Prom with me?" Jessica batted her eyelashes at him, and Micah barely managed to conceal his grimace.

His eyes fleeted past her head, catching those of Jasper Hale, who was watching the pair intently, a small frown on his lips.

A pair of thin dainty fingers clicked in front of his face causing him to snap out of it, "Hmm?" He asked.

"I said, would you go to prom with me?" Micah started gaping as he tried to think of something, anything to get out of it. Micah wasn't even sure if he was going to go anyway.

Catching Angela's eye, he silently pleaded for help. Getting the hint, said girl quickly rushed over, linking her arm with his.

"Sorry Jess, Micah's taking me to prom." With that, Angela promptly dragged Micah away.

When they where at a good distance, Micah sighed in relief, "Thank you." He mumbled.

Angela waved him off, "It's no problem, friends have to stick together. Why didn't you want to go with Jess anyway? Did you have someone else in mind to ask?" She enquired.

Micah shook his head, "No." he mumbled quietly, "I don't think I'm going to go. Dances are not really my thing. I'd much rather stay at home and binge watch Doctor who Or supernatural."

Angela nodded along, the more she spoke and got to know Micah, the more she began to believe that he might be an introvert. Even if he didn't realise he was one.

"What about you?" He asked.

Angela shrugged, "I want to ask Eric, but I don't know. He'll probably say no."

Micah looked down at Angela, "What makes you think that?" He asked as the pair stepped onto the school bus, finding a seat in the middle and sitting down.

Angela shrugged again, "I don't know, I guess I'm just nervous that he will say no."

"You like him, don't you?" Micah asked softly.

Angela stayed silent, biting her lip and she stared towards the ground.

Micah nodded, "I think you should just go for it. You are absolutely beautiful and he would me insane to say no."

"You think so?" Angela asked softly.

"Yes." Micah answered firmly. Angela rested her head upon his shoulder and closed her eyes as the bus rumbled to life, "Thank you." She whispered.

Micah smiled and leaned his head back, he too closing his eyes and managing to get a small nap on the ride there before everyone was ushered off the bus.

Micah was watching curiously as he walked past multiple different types of plants. He watched as his biology teacher began chasing Tyler around, who looked like he was about to drink from a cup of brown water.

"No, Don't drink it!"

Micah stiffened slightly as he felt three people close in on him before relaxing after seeing who it was.

"Hello." Said Emmett, giving Micah a cheeky smile.

Micah smiled back, "Hey." He mumbled quietly.

Jasper wrapped his arm around Micah's shoulder, pulling him close, "How are you, you weren't in school yesterday."

Micah bit his lip, why where they talking to him after he blatantly ignored them for two whole weeks, "Yeah, I-I'm doing good. How are you guys?"

Edward shoved past Emmett, causing said brother to grumble with an adorable pout that Micah thought about kissing away before scolding himself.

"Where great, now that your talking again."

Micah averted his eyes towards the floor, suddenly finding it more interesting. "That's good." He mumbled softly.

Across the room Angela looked up from whatever she was doing and spotted Micah standing by the three male Cullens/ Hale.

Micah felt eyes on him and looked up, catching Angela staring at him. He smiled at her, and Angela smiled back giving two thumbs up.

Micah glared playfully at her. She was the only one, other than his dad and sister, that new he was Gay. He didn't even have to tell her, she had just figured it out on her own.

"How is everything at home, with your sister being in jail." Emmett asked suddenly.

Micah cleared his throat, starting to feel a little uncomfortable talking about his sister, "It's quiet." He said softly.

Angela frowned as she saw her friends face fall slightly. Micah bit his lip and looked towards Angela catching her mouth 'Are you ok?' To him.

'I will be.' He mouthed back.

As he was walking he failed to notice the hose pipe sticking out and tripped. Micah put his hands out ready to catch himself, but instead he felt a pare of cold hand grip his waist and pull him back up again.

Micah looked up into the honeycomb coloured eyes of Jasper and began feeling like he was in a trace.

"You should be watching where your going." Jasper said teasingly, his hands still firmly placed on Micah's hips.

"Yeah." Micah mumbled in a dazed state. Being this close to Jasper made him want to do nothing more than grab his collar and pull him down for a kiss.

Snapping out of it, Micah cleared his throat and took a step back, "Thank you." He said gently. He pointed towards Angela, "I should proba-" he stumbled slightly as his back hit the table, "-bly get going, I think I hear Angela calling me."

Quick as a whip, Micah darted towards his best friend, missing the amused looks on his Mates faces.

When he reached her he scowled for she was hunched over laughing into her hand, "Yeah, Yeah laugh it up."

Linking his arm with a now calm Angela, the pair made there way back to the bus, managing to get on before everyone else.

Micah rubbed his eye, letting out a tired sigh. Today was definitely an interesting day.
