Hunter Academy

Chapter 7

Blaze followed after Sophia as she headed to her class. "Who are you guys looking for?" he asked and she growled in annoyance. He continued to follow her for a minute before she stopped and spun around to face him.

"Like I said, it has nothing to do with you or your pack. Now, leave me alone. I need to get to class," she said turning away. She headed into her Geometry class and her eyes immediately landed on the soon to be Beta. Once he spotted her, he was out of his chair. Sophia glanced back and noticed that Blaze had followed her into the room. "You've gotta be kidding me." As Logan neared her, she walked past him before he realized what was happening. She reached an empty desk and sat her book and binder down.

She took a seat as they began to loom over her. After a few minutes of their eyes on her, she sighed and looked up at them. Logan glared down at her while Blaze tapped his foot impatiently.

"What do you want?" she snapped.

"Why are you here?" Logan asked and she reached into her pocket and pulled out her wallet. She opened it up and pulled out a license. She held it up and smirked.

"Blaze Akins, even though you're soon to be Alpha, you are prohibited from asking me questions about what I am doing. You have no business with me, and I have no business with you. I am a Hunter, and I do as I please." He narrowed his eyes as he grabbed the license and looked it over. He growled and handed it back to her.

"Logan, let's go. We have some business to take care of," Blaze ordered walking out of the room. Sophia slid her license back into her wallet and put it back up.

"If they would have just left me alone, I wouldn't have had to do that," she muttered as she opened her book. "But this is starting to get fun. I doubt Mr. Alpha is just gonna leave it at that."

Sophia sat down at an empty table with her food and started eating. Iris and Zander soon joined her. They ate in silence for a moment as they checked for eavesdroppers. "So, any luck? Have you talked to him?" asked Sophia taking a bite of her pizza.

"I did in second hour. I only asked him how to work out a problem, which he totally missed it," replied Iris with a small laugh.

"I didn't get the chance. He sat on the opposite side of the room during our class," said Zander as he laid his head down on the table. "Why do we have to recruit him?"

"Recruit?" asked Blaze, who was standing behind Sophia. He sat on one side of her while Logan sat on the other side.

"What is it this time?" asked Sophia as she cast Iris and Zander a glance. Zander nodded just as the cheerleaders and football team sat at their table. "Oh, I see. You brought other people, so I couldn't pull out my license. Well, that isn't going to work."

"Yeah? And how are you gonna get out of your seat while Logan and I are here?" he replied smugly. Iris, Zander, and Sophia glanced at each other and laughed.

"Are you guys done eating? I'm ready to go," said Sophia and they nodded. Sophia leaned back and put her hands on the floor. She flipped back onto her feet and grabbed the tracking device out of her pocket. "Nice try, but that won't work." She tossed it at Blaze, and he quickly caught it. She smiled at him and started to walk away. "If you want to find out that badly, then you join and try to get put on my team." She started to walk away as Iris and Zander stood up.

"She's such a show off," said Iris shaking her head. "She could have easily moved from that small space without them even realizing it." Iris stepped over the bench and started to walk off.

"You know how she is though," Zander replied following after her.

"Yup. She wants them to know she's not an amateur. But I wonder why she told him to join. His rank means nothing when entering Hunter Academy." Iris let out a sigh. "And there's no way in hell she'd approve of him joining our team."

"If the Headmaster decides to put him on our team, we'd have no choice. Of course he always takes our decisions into consideration except with Carter. Anyway, lunch is going to end soon."

"Iris, Zander, I'm heading to fifth hour. We have sixth hour together with Blaze, Carter, and Logan, so we'll have a chance to talk to him then," said Sophia as they reached her locker. She grabbed out her Biology book and smiled at them. "See ya." She walked down the hallway towards her fifth hour class.

"Are you just going to keep ignoring my question?" Blaze asked, catching up to her.

"Will you stop following me?" she replied.

"No-"

"Well, there's your answer."

"Why do you have to be so difficult?" he growled and she glared back at him.

"Leave me alone," she said taking off down the hallway. She made it to her class within ten seconds. She turned into the room before Blaze had a chance to see which classroom she turned in to. She walked over to a desk just as the first bell rang, and she sighed in frustration. "He's so annoying, but I wonder what he'll do next."

"Ah, Ms. Davis I assume?" asked the teacher and she smiled.

"Yeah?" she said. She locked eyes with him and realized he was a bit young to be a teacher.

"Ah, yes. Blaze told me about you."

"Oh, I see. He's got eyes everywhere," she muttered laying her books on her desk.

"You could say that, but he just told me to be careful. I'm not part of his-" He was cut off by students walking into the classroom. "Ms. Davis, stay after class to continue our conversation." She narrowed her eyes at him and then nodded.

"All right." She took a seat and some of the students looked between her and the teacher. They all took their seats and class began.
