The Darkside of Earth

Chapter Nine

The whole class period I was zoned out. Our teacher, Mrs. Smith, came in ten minutes after I sat down. She's a really old lady, about 60 or so, and she's really tiny. She's also very monotone about everything, so it's pretty boring in here. I keep finding myself staring at the back of Jax and Damien's heads. They have turned around a couple of times, and honestly, it hurts me to see their faces. Pain, sadness, anger, and disappointment. It's really starting to get to me, too.

  I hate being mad at them, but then again, they deserve it. Well, maybe I should just forgive....WAIT!! A thought comes to mind and it just makes me forget about forgiving them.

  If Jax lives with me, and Damien is his twin brother and my other mate, then where was he when I got home? I thought to myself. Why wasn't he there this morning? Why did I just meet him AND learn about him today?! Those thoughts make me, and my wolf Arrla, even madder than we were before.

  At that exact moment, they both turn around and their faces are ones of hurt. I glare at them and they seem to get even sadder, and they turned back around. I look to my left to see Leeland and Jake whispering away, and Leeland giggles every so often, quietly. My heart constricts at the scene in front of me, so I turn away and look back towards the front.

  The class finishes soon afterwards and we all head to second. Turns out, Jake isn't just a dumb jock. I thought he was just in that one honors class. Nope, he's in all of them, and so is Leeland, Jax, and Damien. All my classes are honors so that means I have all of them in every single class.

  The same thing happens in every one of my classes. I sit with Leeland and Jake, while staring at the back of their heads.

  At lunch, Leeland sits on Jake's lap while Jake feeds him. This school isn't much on PDA since it's a school full of wolfs, vampires, and Lord knows what else. They look so happy together. Just this morning Jake hated to even glance at Leeland. Now, they are hugging and holding hands. The jock and the "emo" kid. Ha, isn't that irony at its best. Anyway, Jax and Damien sit across from me and look miserable. They pick and push at their food while I just sit there since I didn't get any food.

  The day goes by slowly and the bell finally rings at the end of the day. As I'm walking towards the bus, which is my only way home, I feel hands on my shoulders. I would've been scared, but with the tingles, it was impossible. I turned around expecting to see Jax, but it was actually Damien.

"Will you come with me please?" He asks in soft voice. "I want to talk to you."

  I bite my lip, debating if I should go or not. I'm about to to accept his offer when I'm pushed up against the lockers. I am about to yell at whoever done it, but I am met with lips on mine instead. I stand there, eyes wide open, lips unmoving, body rigid, as Damien is kissing me passionately. The tingles from the kiss start to grow and break me out of my shocked state. I hate to admit it, but I don't want to push him away. I start moving my lips against his and wrap my arms around his neck. He wraps his around my waist. I grip the bottom of his short, white and red hair. He groans into the kiss, while pushing further against my body. His hands slowly move down my lower back, across the top of my ass, and grabs it. I moan at the action, and buck my hips into his, feeling his hard on.

  The kiss starts getting more intense when someone yells, "THIS IS WHY I DIDN'T WANT YOU COMING ALONE!!"

  I push Damien back and look down the hall to find it was Jax, standing there somewhat angry, but the way he looks at me makes me shiver, and not in the bad way. I stand there shocked, once again, and embarrassed. Jax starts walking towards us and I'm afraid to look up since I looked down at my feet after seeing him. He finally reaches us, and it stays silent for a while.
