My Wolf-man

Chapter 5 ~ Exploring

PE passed by in a blur. 

I talked to Aiden a bit, but our conversations didn't last long. When we weren't talking, I looked around at the guys to try and figure out who could be talking to me telepathically. There were a few candidates, but most of them just didn't.... fit the category. 

My gut told me it wasn't them. I kept glancing at Aiden, secretly hoping we'd exchange glances. He looked dreamy in his PE uniform. You could see his broad shoulders under his blue NIKE athletics shirt and when he jumped up into the air, the deep 'V' of his groin muscle. He was clearly defined, and obviously worked out and played a lot of sports or something.

I was sitting on the ground, playing with a tennis ball and looking around. Our PE coach gave us free-time in the gym because it was raining outside, as usual. You could tell he wasn't bothered to get active this morning, because he had his phone out and was talking to someone in a heated argument. 

His wife probably. Loud giggling got my attention. I turned and caught Ruby, another cheerleader that hangs out with Tiffany and the popular girls, was talking to Aiden. She was trying to show off her boobs by squeezing her arms together. I cringed and made a puking face. I looked at Aiden and he caught my attention. "Save me!" he mouthed. 

I shrugged my shoulders and lifted my arms up in a 'What do you want me to do?" motion. He glanced around, before the basketball hoops caught his attention. I followed his line of sight and nodded. I knew what he wanted me to do. I jumped up, running and grabbing a basketball. I got close enough to him that I could roll the ball towards them without catching Ruby's attention. He pretended to be surprised and picked it up. He edged his way from Ruby and ran towards the basketball hoop, dribbling the ball in front of him. He jumped up and slammed it in the hoop. Ruby giggled and clapped with her hands, but he wasn't looking at her. He winked at me.

"Sang!" he called out. I raised my eyebrows in question. He motioned for me to come closer. I glanced at Ruby and saw a disgusted glare that could have shot daggers my way. That's what you get for being annoying sweetie.

I walked towards Aiden and caught the ball which he bounced towards me.

"Shoot," he said. 

"What?" 

"Shoot," he repeated. I rolled my eyes. 

"Why?" He smirked at me. "Scared you're gonna miss?" 

I scoffed and focused my attention on the hoop. I stood how coach taught us to stand when we did our basketball unit and threw the ball. It landed neatly in the goal.
"Nice!" he said, collecting the ball from under the goal. 

"You've played?"

"Coach taught us during our basketball unit."

"You should let it roll out of your hand, not throw it like a netball," he said. 

"You've played netball?" I asked, bewildered. I didn't think there was Netball in Romania. 

"Have I been living under a rock? Yeah," he answered, amused. 

He came up to me, pressing the ball in my hands. Let me show you. He came up behind me and guided me to how I should be standing. He lifted my arm up slowly, until it was bent in an 'L' shape. I couldn't focus with him standing behind me. I could feel his chest on my back, and his warm, even breaths in my hair. My heart rate accelerated and my breathing became faster. 

"Roll it off your hand," he whispered into my ear. His body heat was warming me, and I became completely oblivious to my surroundings. My sole focus was on him, now standing behind me.
