~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Waking up the next day was tough. I really didn’t want to go to school. And the down pour outside my window really wasn’t helping my mood. The house was dark and gloomy as I followed the smell of bacon down the hallway. Should have figured. Uncle John always makes eggs and bacon when its his turn to make breakfast. Maybe I should just take over cooking entirely. He wasn’t that great anyways.

“Hey old man, eggs and bacon again? Can’t you cook anything else?”

“Actually…no, I can’t. Why do you think I only cook breakfast and leave dinner to you.” I shook my head as he said this. Great I live with a guy that can’t cook and I don’t like to cook….yup we’re screwed. Maybe one of us should take a cooking class.

“Hey I gotta head to school early to get whatever assignments I missed yesterday. Can you get Hope ready to go to the park with Lane? She promised she would take her.”

“Sure thing kiddo. Have a good day and stay at school, please. I don’t want to get a phone call saying you went missing, got it?’

“Yea, yea…whatever you say,” I muttered as I head out the door. I was dressed in a pair of jeans that flare out a little at the bottom and a tank top. I threw a hoodie on real quick when I remembered that it was raining out. Walking to school in this weather always sucked, but that’s why I always keep an extra pair of clothes in my locker. But then again so does everyone else, I just don’t know why. Most people will show up to school in one pair of clothes and then halfway through the day they’ve changed. Oh well.

I finally reached the parking lot of the school when I saw then most wonderful thing. There was a car that I’ve never seen before, and standing next to it was the most gorgeous guy I have ever seen. His hair was a deep brown fohawk. On most people it would look ridiculous, but on him, it was amazing. His eyes were a pale blue that if you were to look in them, you would just lose all sense of reality. He seemed shocked to see me, as if he knew me somehow, but quickly looked away as Katie walked up to him.

Jason’s POV

There she was my mate. So beautiful. I just wanted to run up to her and pull her into my arms. But she seemed to be frozen where she was, as if she didn’t know what was going on. I thought this town was full of Were’s. that’s why my family and I moved here. We got tired of having to hide who we were in our previous town.

I finally had to tear my gaze away when a brunette girl with a rather large bust walked up to me.

“Hi,” she purred trying to sound seductive. “My names Katie. Your new right? What’s your name?”

“Jason.”

“Well, Jason, if you need any help around here just let me know. I’ll be glad to show you around.” She rubbed against me as she said this. “And I suggest you stop staring at the freak if you wanna make any friends around here.”

“Freak?” I said with a low growl following. “Why would she be a freak? Looks perfectly normal to me.”

“Yea, that’s her problem. She’s perfectly normal. Only human at this school. Plus she’s also the only one with a kid. Stands out like a dick in a punch bowl.”

I looked back to where my beauty had been standing to find her gone. My heart began to ache and the thought of her being taken already. She’s human, so that means she wouldn’t understand what a mate was. She would never leave someone that she loved enough to have a kid with just to be with me. With my eyes towards the ground, I made my way to the office to register and get my new schedule. English first, oh joy.

Jo’s POV

As I took my seat in the back of my English class, I couldn’t get my mind off the new guy. I wonder what his name is. Oh well, it doesn’t matter now. Katie, the school slut, has already sunk her claws in. No one ever denies her, but then again, who would. She’s gorgeous and she puts out. The two things every guy wants.

The bell rang and I tried to get my mind off of him. No use I told myself. No guy will ever want a girl that has a kid. I had resigned myself to that a while back, but seeing this guy gave me feelings that I’ve never had before. For a second I had hope that I could seem normal but that got dashed quickly. I’m sure Katie warned him about me.

About 10 minutes after the bell, the door swung open and the new guy stumbled in.

“Sorry I’m late. I got lost. This school in a lot bigger than my last one.”

“That’s ok. Just don’t make a habit of it. Now why don’t you introduce yourself and then take a seat. I’m sorry to say but there’s only one empty seat and it’s right here in front.”

“Umm, hi everyone. My name is Jason Cane. I moved here from a small town in Indiana that you’ve probably never heard of so I’m not even gonna tell you the name. It would be pointless. I just wanna make it through these next few years peacefully, so please don’t give me any crap just cuz I’m the new guy. You will pay for it if you do,” he said with a glare.

Everyone nodded their heads and waved as he took his seat. I couldn’t stop staring at him through the whole class and never heard a single word Ms. Brodrick said.

Jason’s POV

Her scent hit me as I took my seat. The strong scent of fruit could be smelled over all the other scents in the classroom. It took all my power to not turn around and stare at her. I could feel eyes on my back and knew that it was her.

The bell rang and I ignored Katie’s attempt to get my attention. I waited right outside the door for her to come out. She was the last one and jumped when she saw me standing there.

“Hi my names Jason.”

“I know. But if I were you, I wouldn’t wanna be seen talking to me. Incase you haven’t noticed, I’m not exactly the most loved around here.”

“Yea Katie told me, but I figured I’d see what you were like for myself instead of listening to other people. I hate rumors,” I said with a smile.

That got a little smirk and a blush out of her. She looks so cute when she blushes. I couldn’t take my eyes off her and I could tell that it was starting to make her uncomfortable.

“Um, sorry but I have to go.” she said and then hurried off. It wasn’t so bad, cuz I got to watch her butt sway and her curls bounce as she walked away. She may be a little short for my usual taste, but god, I loved her already. I could see a little spunk under that shy exterior even though she hasn’t let it out yet. Now I just have to figure out how to make her mine.

My next class was Algebra. As soon as I hit the door I was overwhelmed with the smell of fruit again. Grinning, I walked in, this time on time, and took the only available seat which just so happened to be right next to her.

Jo’s Pov

Oh great, I thought as Jason walked into my math class. What did they do, give him my schedule. I hope not. I’m used to being a loner but I wouldn’t wanna wish it on the new guy. I have got to find a way to get him to leave me alone. He deserve to have a normal life. And then I realized that the only available seat was next to me. Oh no.

He took his seat and looked at me with a grin spread across his face.

“Well, looks like me meet again.” he said cheekily. I had to make him think I don’t like him, which so isn’t true. “Can I eat lunch with you today?” he asked

“Why don’t you go eat lunch with Katie…” I responded with as much false anger that I could muster. “By the way she was rubbing herself on you this morning, I’m sure she would love to have you.” I don’t know why, but that thought actually did anger me as I glared at him.

He looked away looking hurt. Well shit, I didn’t mean to hurt his feelings but if that was the only way to get him away than that’s what I would do.
