The anger in Tristan's eyes made me shiver. I was the deer caught in headlights. I involuntarily shifted my gaze around, scared to look back again. That's when I felt a hand sneak around my shoulders. 

What now?? 

"Hello beautiful" Jason chirped with his usual happy self. "you here to cheer me for my race?" 

"what Race? Oh! your track try outs. right. umm. Good luck for the race. I'm sure you'll get a place on the team" I was just being supportive to a friend. 

"You do now. do you?" A thundering voice of my alpha joined in the conversation "You think this new boy can win the race?" 

"Umm. Hi Aaron" my greetings fell on deaf ears as Aaron and Jason were busy in their own glare match. Both sizing each other up. 

"I don't think there is much competition today. And Jason looks like the athlete type" I tried to grab their attention. 

"competition? You don't consider me a good competition, kitten? " was is it a warning tone? to challenge or disrespect him anyway. I'll be dead meat under a minute. 

"Nuh.. No. I mean.... I thought... I .. You cant be on the team" I blabbered on submitting for my alpha. 

"But I can race in the tryout for sure" he ended with smirk playing his face. 

"Sure Alp.. I mean Aaron" This was unprecedented. We werewolfs  never participated in any tryouts. As once the coach sees us being better at sports they are relentless to make us join the teams and its against our rules. And Aaron was strongest of us all. he would even beat all us werewolfs by a mile. This was not fair to Jason and other humans trying out as well. But who was I to say anything. 

"See you in the race, new boy" Aaron left glaring at Jason who was completely unaffected and was glaring at Aaron in return. I sighed loudly and touched Jason's shoulder to get his attention. 

"I think you should opt out of this tryout" I spoke tentatively. 

"Why?" Jason did not look surprised. He only wanted to know what I thought. 

I took Jason's hand, "Because I don't think you will win this race. I know Aaron and I know what his capabilities are. He would surpass you all by a big margin and then you will never be good enough for the coach." I said honestly. 

"We'll see about that. You don't know my capabilities yet" Jason sounded confident. 

  Suddenly I was pushed away from Jason  making me let go of his hand. I fell on one side with a thump. 

"watch where you going" one of the bimbo who was standing with Tristan earlier yelled at me. 

"Watch yourself bi+ch. she was just standing and you bumped into her. You should apologies" Jason stated in calm tone, although he looked murderous. I got myself up and tried to dust away everything from the tee I borrowed from Lisa. Boy! it's gonna cost me laundry. 

I looked at the bimbo whose lips were forming an O, unable to register what Jason had just said. 

"Let it go Jason" I pulled Jason away from her, scared of the look he was giving her. Boy, I would never want to be on the receiving end of that look. 

"You should not let people trample you like that. Have a spine. Stand up for yourself." Jason was trying to reason with me.

"And then what? She will forget about this in next 2 minutes. But if I try to retaliate, she and her minions will try to get back at me and I would never see the end of it."

"Spoken like a true coward" Jason tried to rile me up but I didn't take the bet. 

"Its called survival in the teen world. Beside its only till...." I remembered all the times when I thought that when my mate came along, he would take care of me and I wouldn't have to go through these idiotic people. He would shut them all up and make me feel like a pampered princess. But none of this came true. Even after finding my mate I was still at the same place of ridicule. I should have never depended on a guy to make my life better. I should have taken matters in my hand much before.  

"You ok?" Jason revived me from my mental monologue. 

"Huh?" 

"For a moment there you looked really pissed and then suddenly sad. Look I didn't mean it in bad way. I just think you should respect your self enough" 
Jason was right but I couldn't tell him what I was thinking about. 

"You are right Jason. I need to change myself" I conceded. I looked back at that bimbo. She was now back to be standing next to Tristan, whose eyes were trained on me and Jason. The bimbo was running her fingers up and down his thighs. I couldn't look at them any longer. Somehow I knew Jason too, noticed Tristan looking at us.  " but right now we need to concentrate on your race" I looked back at Jason and changed the subject. 

"I thought you didn't want to me race" Jason raised an eyebrow. 

"I thought you were going to show me what you were capable of" I challenged. 

Jason smiled at me. He looked so cute when he smiled. He should smile often. Wait! what am I thinking. oh grrrrhh. 

"Lets go beautiful. The coach is lining students up for the race" 

We walked to the start line side by side. 

"Wish me luck" 

"I already said good luck" I asked confused. 

"What? no kiss on the cheeks for extra luck?" 

"What? I.. don't.. why would I kiss you" I was blushing profusely by now. 

"Hey, come on. A boy can hope. right?" He laughed it off. 

Somewhere in the distance I could feel not one but two people sending daggers towards Jason. 

I can't imagine why Aaron would be angry with Jason. No prizes for guessing other guy's reason though.
