The New Kid

Chapter 5: The New Home

When I woke up I was in my bed.

'It was all a dream,' I think. 'Ha I'm so stupid to think that was real.'

I check the clock. It's 6. I get some PJs and head for the bathroom to shower. When I get out I hear snoring in the living room. I go and see Sam sleeping on the couch. He looks so peaceful and gorgeous. I go up to him to kiss his cheek. He immediately wakes up.

Still looking at me he asks, "What time is it?"

"6:17" I say looking at the clock hanging on the wall.

He sits up and rubs his eyes. Still in my slouched position I ask him, "How'd you get in here?"

"I found the key to the apartment in your purse." he says nonchalantly.

"How'd do you get my purse?"I say confused. I feel like I'm always confused now.

"Let's order something to eat for dinner then I'll tell you OK?" He says looking at his phone.

"OK but can we order pizza. I love pizza." I say, my mouth starting to water.

Sam says OK and calls a pizza place near by. He orders a large pepperoni pizza with breadsticks and insists to pay for it. When the pizza guy comes Sam pays and hands me the pizza with the bread sticks on top. I sit down on the couch and put the box on the table. I start to eat immediately.

"Can't wait for me?" Sam says before sitting down.

"When you're hungry eat. It's my modo." I say with a smile.

He grabs a piece but before he bites it he says, "What do you remember about earlier today?"

"Wait, it wasn't a dream?" I say my pizza in mid air.

"Sorry but it wasn't. Michael was trying to take you as his mate earlier today." Sam says.

"What the hell does that mean? The mate part."

"How do I tell you this... umm. This is going to be really hard for you but please just stay calm." He says with mixed emotions on his face.

By now I was really scared. 'What is he trying to tell me?'

"I don't know how to say this gently so I'm going to tell you straight out. Michael is a...werewolf." He says waiting for my reaction.

I'm frozen. 'Michael is a werewolf. So that's what he means by mate. But... I'm not a werewolf how can we be mates." I think scared out of my mind then a new thought comes to my head. 'If Sam knows this wouldn't he be a...' I then jump off the couch.

"You're a werewolf too!" I scream the pizza box forgotten.

He runs to me but I run to the door. He gets their first so I run to the kitchen but see there is no where to run.

I back up all the way to the counter and he comes towards me. We're inches away from each other. "I won't hurt you. You just have to trust me OK? Michael is your mate. He is the Alpha and I'm his beta and his best friend. We have to go to his house so we can sort things out with him." He says looking at me and backing away.

I then walk towards him backing him up against the opposite counter and say, "I don't like him though," I say putting my hand on his arm.

"What are you doing?" Sam looks at me scared.

"Like I said I don't like him." Then I kiss him. I feel my stomach fluter and notice his lips are soft. At first I am stunned then I remember my plan and break away. He looks at me frozen in place.

Then I go up to his ear and say, "Like hell I'm going to Michaels house." I then twist Sam's arm hard and kick him in the stomach. He screams and tries to grab me but I get away.
