Rejected

Chapter 8

I missed school the next day, I told Aunt Chloe I was feeling sick and she believed me, after she left for work, she was lawyer in a busy and popular firm, I lounged around the house, eating ice cream, chocolate and drinking coke and 7up. Yeah in my circumstances girls would be crying their hearts out by sneaking a bottle of wine and emptying it, but to tell the truth I hated the taste of any alcohol, it was horrible and it burned. I spent the rest of the day in front of daytime telly, the images flew past my eyes without my brain recognising them; it was too busy sorting through the beehive of my thoughts.

I knew I had to go to school tomorrow, I had already made a fool of myself by not going today, I’ll be looking like even more of a coward if I didn’t go tomorrow.  I had to be strong, act like I didn’t care what Noah did, or who he did to be exact.

Blurgh, man my mind was going dodgy. Plus I had to explain to the girls the reason behind the tail which they saw when I jumped in to the lake.

Tomorrow’s gonna suck…

Noah’s POV

She wasn’t here today, why did I care, I didn’t.

I felt bad, the hurt that ran through Macey’s eyes yesterday when I picked Charlotte, it made my wolf howl in protest. Now, sitting in Myths and Legends, staring at her empty seat with Charlotte acting like slag next to me; flirting with any male she could see, I wondered what was so good about my so called girlfriend that I chose.

See, you don’t love Charlotte, you love Macey, and she’s our mate.

Great, there went my wolf again; I swear he’s going to get me killed one day, if not by a hunter then by suicide just so I couldn’t hear him again.

Stop exaggerating and dump Charlotte

No, I couldn’t. I had made my mind up, I chose Charlotte.

I look up to see Mr Garret, Cole entering the classroom, he looked around and stopped at Emma and Shay, I wanted to get out of my seat and beat the crap out of him here and now, especially since what he had done to Macey, I wanted to kill him. And by the look he was giving my sister, of pure hunger and hatred I wanted him dead.  But I had to wait, at least until dad had everything sorted, and Cole makes the first move, when he does, I’ll be waiting and he’ll be dead.

Cole started the lesson, I was partially listening, thinking about how Macey should be back in school tomorrow, and it will be so awkward and so horrible, especially with Charlotte.

Tomorrow’s gonna suck…

Cole’s POV

I entered the classroom of those bratty kids and stopped to look for the bitch, Macey. She wasn’t here, I wondered why, did she drop out of school already, no, she wouldn’t, she was too proud. I sneered at this that was what was going to get her killed.  

I looked around the class and stopped at her two friends that she had already made here, that Emma and Shay, they were whispering. The stupid pups, bloody werewolves, I couldn’t wait to kill every last one of them, the mutts.

She’ll be here tomorrow and then, bit by bit my plan would fall into motion and soon I’d have killed her, and she’d join her witchy mom in hell.

Tomorrow’s gonna rock…
