The Trip
Tomari
Sitting in the back of class during history drawing on random sheets of paper from my notebook, I listened halfheartedly to the teacher's information about the field trip being taken exactly a week from now. It was basically a free class period which was very rare. So students took this opportunity to sleep, read or listen to music while he spoke.
Don't be failing classes. Don't be ineligible. If found wandering about without permission, automatic referral. No fighting. No sex and no sneaking out after lights out (like anyone's gonna follow those). Be on your best behavior. This is a great opportunity to learn something. Bring money. Snacks. Cameras. Pajamas. Small suit case. No need for sleeping bags. It was the same thing they all said before taking students out on a field trip. And you know what I think?
This was a horrible idea.
For someone who had two guys breathing down her neck this "relaxing trip" was a huge mistake. I'd back out but the man just had to say those seven dreaded words. "This adventure is worth two test grades." It was like the gods wanted me to go. And I had a sneaking suspicion it wasn't the ones above either.
Freaking Hades.
And just when I started to challenge his claim he says, "...If your parents don't allow you to go, its because they suck-" Because, as you all know, high school teachers are pretty blunt and say whatever they want. "But if that is the case, I'll have you do a ten page paper over something."
Of course, I'd rather choose the paperwork. When I raised my hand and dared to request the homework he tells me I would probably finish it in under two days. "So, no. You have no choice."
The dick.
And he wondered why I didn't know his name; why I always called him 'Coach.' He didn't understand I had two guys practically cornering me. And that said two guys was a wolf and a... What was Tori anyway? A sorcerer? A witch? No, he'd said he was a Unique, but I digress.
Devlyn would be furious if I stayed behind at the house with Tori. Unbeknownst to the Alpha that I planned to lock myself in my room without any contact with anyone. But if I went on this trip, Tori would be just as upset. And in all of this I've only come to one conclusion while living in the James Mansion with those two.
When Tori got angry he was scary as fuck.
He was scarier than a starved werewolf on a full moon. And that was saying something. I mean just last night he threw a knife at Devlyn's head for touching my hands. And before that he'd slapped Devlyn's away from my face on impulse. Imagine what he'd do if he saw Devlyn kiss me on the lips.
In just a little over two weeks, Tori had gone from this quiet nineteen year old to just pure boldness. And what was scary was despite him being mine- I mean my personal servant- I couldn't command him to stop these things. I couldn't tell him not to fight Devlyn over me. He'd lost me for fourteen years. I couldn't tell Devlyn not to fight Tori either. He still believed I was his mate. And you know what my answer was to all of this?
Fucking Eros.
The bell rang and I gathered my things before heading to my next class. We had six minutes during transition (thank the heavens!). There was a time when it was four and a half, but the school was so huge that the majority of people were late to class, and as a result the school board got it changed. Of course, we didn't get out until 4:02 but it was worth it. Every minute counts.
Foreign language was next, and it was located outside in the portables. ALL the way through the teacher's parking lot, cross the street, and then straight until you hit the student's lot. And then down some more past the tennis courts and workshops. Even with the shortcuts it was still a seven to eight minute walk. And since it was raining. it would take a bit longer. I let out a small sigh before pushing through the double doors and tugging up my hoodie. The moment I stepped out I was drenched. A minute or two later it was raining everywhere but on me.
