Allies with the enemy, chapter 4

Chapter 4

(Comet)

Ugh I can’t believe this happening! I think as I bang my head against the launch table once again.

***flash back!***

“Dad what’s your problem that was Kaela, my best friend!” I yell once he’s shifted and dressed.

“Not any more, listen you can’t talk to her ever again not at school, not at home, not even on the phone and the whole pack will know about this, actually they already do I used telepathy  so if you go knew them they will drive you out. So don’t try anything or I’ll caller you with the rough.” My dad said using his demanding voice, not as strong as an alpha but since he’s higher up it only affects me just a little less.

***flash present***

I lift my head and scan the room for them I tense when I finally do find her. She’s with cam eating lunch not even realizing me sitting by myself on the only empty table beside the boy’s washroom. My muscles tense more when I see her laugh with him, by now my legs hurt like I’ve been stabbed by how tense they are.

I decide to look for my pack friends when I find them all in a big group right in the middle of the cafeteria. I stand up, not bothering to take my lunch tray I’m not hungry anyways as I make my way toward them they all fall silent. I’m about to sit when tiffany, a girl I’ve known for a long time and always

“Sorry, that seats taken,” she says, not seeming sorry one bit. I shrug and go for a different one. “Uh, that one too...” she says with a smirk.

“By who? Every ones here” I ask looking pointedly at everyone, not one pack member is missing. I even acknowledge the regularly ignored Kylie. She is apparently a ‘loser’, but at least she throws me sympathetic look.

“By my imaginary friend now can you go you smell like a vampire, god” she says plugging her nose and waving her hands like she’s giving herself clean air. I snort seeing how stupid she looks.

“Oh, I’m sorry I know you don’t want to admit it but the reason you need three seats is because you stink so bad you want to stay as far from any one as possible. So, don’t worry I won’t bother you anymore. Besides, I wouldn’t want to sit beside a sweaty, greasy haired B**** like yourself.” I say before turning on my heel and walking towards Kaela.

I’m five feet away from them when someone grabs my arm trying to pull me back. I turn taking a deep breath ready to snap at tiffany for grabbing me.

“Let go of me you annoying little toothpick I could beat you in a-“I’m stopped short when I realize it’s the alpha’s son. He’s grinning from ear to ear, what does he think this is funny?

“I wouldn’t say tooth pick I’d say more like a tree it take a bull-dozer to plough through.”  He says letting go of my hand. I didn’t know it was possible but he’s now smiling so big! He looks like one of those cartoon characters that there smiles and eye brows go off their face. I wouldn’t be surprised if his eye’s stretch out of his skull!

“I uh... sorry alpha! I mean Mr. Alpha! No, no, no that’s not what I meant, I meant err I don’t know what I meant! Now what I’m going to shut up now before I say something like-” I pause moving my hands wildly thinking of something to say but I stop and put my finger pointed upward waving back and worth before I start talking to myself. “NO, you’re not going to ramble rambling’s embarrassing and you’ll be called a freak, not that you’re not already called that because you are but-” I stop when I see the face on the alphas son uh drake I think his name is. I slam my hand flat hand into my forehead making a SMACK sound “god, I’m embarrassing myself, in front of an alpha!”

“Yeah you are but I like you your funny” he says with what I thought was a teasing grin turns out to be a more friendly polite one.

“Yeah, well, sorry I don’t have some popcorn for you if I did you could watch me make a fool of myself all day” I look down a little shy and I feel a blush coming across my checks in fact, probably all night “I uh talk in my sleep,”  I blurted. After I say it, I wish I didn’t I expect him to fall to the floor laughing but he doesn’t he wraps his arm across my shoulder and with a grin he starts walking pulling me along with him.

“Ok, so here’s the thing,” drake says putting his hand out in a ‘the big picture’ gesture. “I want you to be happy with a lot of friends but” he say stopping and turning on his heel to face me in such a kiddish way I can’t help but smile, when he sees my smile he mirrors it. “Ever since your dear friend Kaela…” he says giving her a pointed look, I can’t help but look over my eyes make contact not with who I was hoping but with… cam. I tense knowing he can see me and could be thinking of either ripping off my head here or after school. I give a shy smile and look to my feet but before I can I see him smile. Wait, WHAT? He smiled? Was it a victory thinking we were having a stare down and he won, smile? Or was it thanks for saving my butt before you dad could skin me alive, smile? This confuses me I look up to set it strait and see what he’s thinking but it’s too late I lost my chance he’s just nodding at something Kaela is saying.

“Became a vamp” Drake starts again bring me back into the little world where I’m here and they are well there.” You seem to have lost everyone.” he continues as the smile that bloomed on his face a while ago now wilts as it is dyeing with the happiness. “So I uh was wondering if uh-“ he pausing like he’s trying to think of what to say but shyly looks down at his feet while his hand is rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

“If you would want to be my friend? Like, a real friend not one of those fake, wanting to be future alpha females ‘tooth-pick’ girls” he says ‘tooth-pick’ in a way I know he’s mimicking me.

“OMG is the alpha asking to be my friend and shy about it?” I say pretending to be one of those ‘tooth-pick’ girls with their gossipy way of talk. He looks up at me not all the way just his eyes look at me and his head is tilted more upward but his pupils are still half hidden by his eyelids. He looks like a nervous child.

“You look like a nervous child that stole some cake and blamed it on his sister” I say jokingly

“so would that be a yes?” he asks biting his lip.

“ Totally.”
