Oh, How I Hate The Word MATE

Slipping On Some Peels

  CHAPTER 20: SLIPPING ON SOME PEELS

Mason's P.O.V

 I rushed out of my house as fast as I could to get away from my parents, but aparantly, I wasn't fast enough.

  "Mason wait!" My mother shouted just as my hand touched the door. Dammit.

  "Yes?" I muttered, not turning around.

  "Darling come here. I feel like we haven't talked in a while," she said.

  I reluctantly walked to the living room to see my mother and father sitting on the couch waiting for me.

  "So... what have you been up to for the past weeks?" my mother asked.

  "Uhh, you know, school work, out with friends, *cough* hanging out with my mate *cough*, sorry, where was I? Oh yeah! Going to the mall, shopping for clothes, stuff like that. Well, look at the time! I must be going. Nice chat. See ya later!" I raced to the front door and as my body was halfway out, I heard my mom's scream.

  "YOU FOUND YOUR MATE?!?!" she screamed.

  I turned aroung to see herstanding behind me with an expression of happiness, anger, excitement, hurt, shock and surprise.

  "Mason Bennedict. Why the hell did you not tell me this sooner?" she put her hands on her hips and cocked an eyebrow. I scratched the back of my head.

  "Umm, the thought slipped my mind?" 

  "Boy, I brought you into this world and I can take you out. I want to meet her right after school for the pack dinner. No excuses!"

  Well, fuck.

  I rushed out of the house after my mom started talking about 'early grand babies'. That is something I would NOT like to discuss with my parents.

  Tylers P.O.V

  Well, it's that time of the day where I go and terrorize the school's maskot into hiding in the janitor's closet. But I found out he was sick today so I'm just wandering the empty halls eating a banana. I would go to the class I have this period, but I seriously forgot because I never go. So I just finish off this banana and stare at the peel.

  If I put this banana peel on the floor and run and step on it, will I slip and fall like they do in cartoons?

  Only one way to find out.

  I dropped the peel and ran all the way to the end of the hallyway. Then, I ran as fast as I could onto the peel. 

  As it turns out, it actually does work if you run and step onto the peel. I would have ended flat on my ass if two strong arms didn't catch me before I fell. I looked up to see Mason with an amused expression on his face.

  "Do you always do that kind of stuff in the hallways?" he questioned. I only shrugged. It depends really.

  I got out of Mason's grasp and stood up straight.

  "What are you doing out of class Mr. Smart-ass?" I asked him. It's true. Mason is a freaking nerd. How he is my mate, I will never know.

  "That's for me to know and you to find out." He said. "More improtantly, why are YOU out of class?"
