Austin's POV

The first half of school went past quickly and it was already lunchtime. I walked over to the spot where I sit with the gang everyday for lunch and see everyone already there except Kai. Kai. God she was beautiful. I was so lucky to have her in my life and as my best friend. When she didn't talk to me for 2 weeks after I had kissed Layla and then told me how much I had hurt her I had realised just how important she was to me. I had kicked myself because it took me almost losing her to realise how much I needed her in my life.

I watched as she walked out to where we were on the grass and couldn't help but stare. I have liked her for the last six months. Scratch that, I have liked her since I met her, I just keep screwing up and being a dick to her. But after last time, I swore that never again would I hurt her. I looked away and focused on what Nate was saying, which caused me to smile, and while I was looking away I could feel Kaila staring at me. I look up at her and give her a huge smile, which she returns to me. I look to my left and notice Levi staring at Kai as well. It was no secret to me that he had a crush on her, hell I'm pretty sure everyone knew except for Kaila. He glanced at me and quickly looked away. Even though he was one of my best friends, I was still his Alpha and if I liked Kai then he had to back off. Your probably wondering why I haven't asked her out if I liked her so much, its because of my mate. I don't want to ask her out and allow her to fall in love with me to then find my mate and leave her heartbroken again. If I didn't that I don't think I'd ever forgive myself.

Levis POV

Today was the day I was going to tell Kaila how I felt about her. I know Austin basically loves her and he is my Alpha but I need to let her know how I feel. I'm going to offer to take her home after school and tell her when we get back to her house. I know she also has feelings for Austin but he's bound to find his mate soon, and when he does and she need someone to cry to, I will be there. Yes I am turning 18 soon and will find my mate then, but that is 6 months away and there is a good chance I might not even find my mate when I do turn 18. I don't want to give up any chance I might have with Kaila for a mate I might not find for a year.

Kailas POV

School was finally over! Skylar and I walked out of school and towards the car park where the boys were waiting. I was suddenly pulled aside by Levi.

"Hey can I take you home today? I need to talk to you about something." He asked me while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Ahhh yeah sure I guess, ill just tell Austin." I smiled back at him.

It was a bit odd that Levi had asked to drive me home, but it was obviously important because we didn't even live near each other, neither did Austin but he was adamant that he wanted to pick me up and drop me home.

"Hey Austin..." I started

"oh hey are you ready to go now?" he asked me with a smile.

"Yeah um Levi is taking me home today, he needs to talk to me about something." I tell him as a frown becomes apparent on his face.

"Oh. Ok then, ill see you tomorrow I guess." He replies briefly as he walks to his car and drives off.

I look over to Skylar who silently asks me if I'm ok, nodding my head I smile over at her reassuringly as she hops into the car with Nate and drive away. Nate ad her aren't a thing, they just live close to each other so he drives her to and from school.

"are you ready?" Levi asks from the drivers seat.

"yeah, sorry," I say hoping into the car "Lets go."

We were sitting in the car in an awkward silence for 5 minutes until I decided to break the ice.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" I quietly questioned, looking over at him.

He was slightly sweating and looked really nervous, which just confused me even more. What was he so worried about? Had he done something bad? So mny thoughts were running through y mind when his voice broke through them.

"Well, ummm, ok. Well Kaila, I have know you for so many years now" he began

"Yeah since we were 6." I smile back at him, thinking of all our memories.

"Yeah, and we have been close the whole time. Not as close as you and Sky or even Austin, but close enough. And I guess over the years I have become more aware of you, and things you do." He paused as he pulled up to the front of my house. "what I'm trying to say is that I like you Kaila, and I have for a while. And don't expect you to tell me that you feel the same way because I know you don't, but I just needed you to know how I felt about you." He confessed, staring e straight in the eyes.

"Wow, Levi I had no idea that you felt this way. You are one of my closest friends but I just don't have those feelings for you." I tell him honestly.

He gives me a small smile "I know that, and that's ok. I just needed you to know, but I hope we can still be friends like we are now." He asked me wishfully.

"Of course we will be! I'm not throwing away 12 years of friendship!" I reassure him as I reach across and give him a hug.

"Thank you for dropping me home Levi, ill see you tomorrow?" I question.

"Yeah of course, its Austin's birthday after all." He half smiles back at me.

With one last smile I open the door and walk up to my house. Glancing back over my shoulder I watch him drive down my street and out of sight. Taking a deep breath I open the door and head upstairs into my room.
