I'm Sorry We're Meant To Be

Chapter One : IM EIGHTEEN !

Olivia's POV   

"Night Liv , I'll see you tomorrow . When you finally find your mate ."

My best friend since forever , Kaila , wouldn't stop teasing me about the fact that I was hours away from turning 18 and finding my mate .. I was excited . Finally I would meet a guy that could accept me for me . I wasn't hot like the other female werewolves I knew .

I was small for my age . But I still had a little bit of curves that my mother thankfully passed down to me . I had average hair - dark brown waves that fell down to my waist - , average eyes - brown with flecks of gold - and an average life - One best friend . I was friends with practically everyone average in the school . But I stuck to one . Kaila . She was also mateless . But she would be turning 18 two weeks after I did . She understood me best . And that's why I loved her . I was really looking forward to having someone else to love me in my life .

I fell asleep with my wolf churning with excitement inside of me .  

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY !"

I was jolted awake by my parents screaming in my face . "GAH !" I cried out as I opened my eyes to fire . So close to my face my eyebrows would've burnt right off if I was any closer .

Turns out , the fire was from a candle . Or 18 . On a cake . Held by smiling lunatics . Aka my parents . I rubbed my eyes slowly and sat up in bed , pushing the cake away from my face . Once I was awake enough , I managed a smile and thanked my parents for the cake . They left me to get ready for my 'big day' after singing Happy Birthday - rather loudly - to me and making me make a wish and blow out the candles . I debated on whether to dress up for meeting my mate or not . But I decided against it . He had to accept me for who I was , didn't he ?

I threw on a pair of black skinny jeans and a Union Flag crop top , pulling a brush through my hair , I grabbed my bag and headed downstairs . Quickly waving my parents goodbye and refusing to eat any of the birthday cake they had cut - I didn't want to eat anything my mom baked or cooked . She tended to put way too much sugar in everything . Would explain my parents' lunatic ways . - , I pulled on my shoes and hopped into Kaila's car .

"MORNING BIRTHDAY GURL ."

She practically yelled in my face . Wincing a little , I smiled and said my thanks . She had already given me my present weeks ago . It was a pretty owl necklace that I was wearing . We started the drive to school .  

"Are you excited ?" She asked as we got out of the car and walked into school . "I don't know .. Okae yes , VERY ." I said , keeping my eyes peeled for any sign that my mate was around . My wolf seemed calm , so my mate probably wasn't in school yet . Or he wasn't even attending our school . But I hoped he was . That way we'd be able to see each other more often . I was practically bursting with excitement .

"I'll see you at lunch , okae ? Text me if you have a mate sighting . Ciao !" Kaila hurried off to her first period class while I went the other way to mine .   

I sat through 4 classes , without any signs from my wolf that my mate was around . Do you think he's even in this school ? I asked her . He is . I can feel his presence . But it isn't strong . Maybe you'll see him at lunch . She replied . I smiled . I was finally gunna have a mate ! The bell signalling lunch finally rang .

Stepping out of the classroom , I was tackled to the ground by Kaila . "SO ? HOW WAS IT ? DID YOU FIND HIM ?" she asked . Slowly pushing her off me , I laughed at her eagerness . "No , I haven't . My wolf is a little edgy now , though . She says we might see him at lunch ." I told her . "Then whut are we waiting for ? My gurl needs to find her mate !" she said , dragging me to the cafeteria .
