Falling for Red Riding Hood-SLOW UPDATES-

Chapter 3 ~E&B~

Ella’s POV

He won’t stop looking at me and it’s freaking me out. I do my best to seem indifferent on the outside but I can’t seem to keep my mind off of some of the things that I’ve tried to keep locked up and out of mind.

I must admit, he is handsome, but he’s no different from any other guy. Well, any other guy other than Caleb. Caleb is the only person I felt safe with. The only person I was even slightly willing to talk to. Everyone else got the act, the mask I put on to cover the truth. I use that mask so much, it’s almost painful to think about taking it off and being vulnerable, even to Caleb.

The very thought makes me flinch and I see this Blake kid frown a little. His eyes glaze over a bit before he turns away. The rest of the class period he does his best to only glance my way every once in a while. When the dismissal bell rings, Adri immediately flounces into the classroom and over to him. Her outfit seems even more slutty than it did this morning when she graced me with her sh**ty insults.

“Hey, you know I never got your name. I told you mine and all but….” She attempts to look sexy while hanging off him.

I laughed. She’s so stupid. She actually thinks that’s sexy? That a guy worth fighting for would want that?

She zeroes in on the light laugh and glares. “Did you find something funny, B*tch? Because I didn’t hear anything funny.”

New Kid made a small sound from the back of his throat, glaring at her.

“Oh, no! The slut queen wasn’t acting stupid! She actually is the stereotypical dumb blonde!” I say, worry in my voice, as though I was actually scared of what she thought of me. Blake blinked at me confused by my act before he noticed the smirk growing on my face.

Then his face hardened, his eyes moving to something, or someone, behind me.

All the sudden I feel an arm wrap around my shoulders and Caleb leans into me. “There a problem here, Adrianna? Because I’m pretty sure I told you that it wasn’t a good idea to mess with Ella. She might possibly kill you without ever realizing it…. Or caring.” He grinned. “Then again, she’d probably kill me for even talking to her half the time if it weren’t for us having to live together. You know. The way you’ve been wanting to live with me for like…. What, is it 10 years now?” I bit my lip trying to contain my laughter. “Too bad you didn’t go through the very thing you used to make fun of her for so you could live with me, huh?”

The smile drops from my face and I tense. Caleb senses it immediately and turns to me. “Sorry, Elle Belle, I didn’t mean it that way. You know I would never….. Oh gosh, I’m sorry, Little Sis.”

“It’s fine, Kay. I understand. You were joking around, it had nothing to do with that.” With a newfound smile on my face, I kiss his cheek and begin to walk out the classroom door. Adri follows soon after.

She follows me around the next corner, the way I was expecting her to, but before she can attempt to pin me against the lockers, I grab the arm that was reaching for me and twist it behind her back and up.

“If you move, you will dislocate your own shoulder. I don’t think you want that. Which leads me to believe that you don’t want to warn me away from anybody? Hell, even if you could, it wouldn’t be needed. I have no intention of going out with anybody. And I most definitely am not slutty like you. So don’t talk and don’t touch me.”

With that, I let go of her, not even stopping to watch her rub her arm before walking towards my next class.

Blake’s POV

I don’t understand what made her flinch. Ever since she did, I was wondering. My wolf told me that perhaps she just needs a little more space than most human girls do, so I did my best to not stare at her…

But gosh.

That hair that seems to fall perfectly….

Those cupid-bow lips…

Those eyes that pulled my attention yet seemed to contain an ocean’s worth of sadness….

 I want to know what made her so sad. How could such an angelic face hold so much sadness?

The sadness is wiped away as the dismissal bell rings, but changes to a scowl when that chick from earlier rushes into the room. She struts over to where I’m standing and she tries to discreetly pull my hand towards places they don’t want to be while acting as though she’s only hanging onto me (which in itself is a turn off).

“Hey, you know I never got your name. I told you mine and all but….” She begins before the most beautiful laugh cuts her off. Her eyes focus on Mate before hatred colors them. “Did you find something funny, B*tch? Because I didn’t hear anything funny.”

                “Excuse me? This b*tch thinks it’s ok to call Mate that very name?” my wolf growls, “kill her now! She is not worthy to look upon her face. She is worse than the scum on the streets! Worse than the cat sh*t on the bottom of your shoe! And that’s the worst kind of sh*t there is!” he grumbles…. “Those wretched creatures… Always think they’re so cool. So much better than the canine family…” He’s angry, my wolf. Ha. That’s an understatement. But he perks up a bit when he hears my Ella’s sexy voice.

“Oh, no! The slut queen wasn’t acting stupid! She actually is the stereotypical dumb blonde!” I’m puzzled until I see her lips turn into a slight smirk. She’s an amazing actress, seemingly genuinely worried can be difficult. At least for me.

An alpha male sticks his head through the door before Adri can respond. In fact, Adri freezes in what seems to be fear of this man. He must be her most recent boyfriend or something. He glares in my direction, before smiling in Ella’s direction.

I feel my face harden. Nobody is allowed to smile at my mate like that. Soon, he slings his arm around her and I begin to focus only on containing my wolf. He’s straining to attack this b*stard for touching her as though he owned her. I don’t realize he was talking until I see the girl of my dreams tense. The a**hole’s face drops suddenly as though realizing he said something very wrong.

“Sorry, Elle Belle, I didn’t mean it that way. You know I would never….. Oh gosh, I’m sorry, Little Sis.”

Elle Belle? Little Sis? Then why has he been looking at her like she’s his mate instead of mine?

“It’s fine, Kay. I understand. You were joking around, it had nothing to do with that.” She smiles and kisses his cheek- oh how I felt like taking his head off for that- then turned and walked out of the classroom with the slut following soon after.

The alpha male’s façade disappeared as soon as her footsteps were further down the hall. “What are you doing in my territory, rogue?” he demanded.

“Going to school, what else would I be doing at a school?” I rolled my eyes. So he’s a stereotypical possessive alpha male. Awesome. As long as he stays away from my Ella.

“Fine,” he seethes, “just stay away from Ella. She’s been hurt enough by the likes of you.” With that he turns and leaves me wondering what the hell happened to Ella….
