Help Me

Chapter 1: New Girl

"Riley!"

I quickly walked to my father who was just walking in from work.

"Riley, have you finished making my dinner?", my father asked in a sickly sweet voice.

"Yes Father it is cooling on the dinner table", I timidly stared into his charcoal eyes as I replied. My father and I shared the same black hair but I have blue eyes while he has black ones.

"Good now did you unpack your things into your room already?", he asked eyeing me with disgust.

"Yes I have already finished unpacking my things, Father."

He walked into the kitchen to eat his dinner as I started towards the fridge get his beer.

Eating with a mouth full of food, he asked me, "Do you know that you are starting school tomorrow, Riley?"

"Yes Father I know.", I say while setting down his beer in front of him.

"Good. Good. You know what to do don't 'cha?"

I recited the rules he had set up for me,"No making friends, avoid all conversations directed to me, and don't tell anyone what's happening at home."

"Mmhm.... now just obey those rules and the school year will go smoothly, I hope. You won't want your dear father to look for another house now do you Riley?"

"No trouble will happen this year Father. No trouble at all."

When my dad finished his dinner and three cans of beer, he stumbled out of the kitchen and into his bedroom. Soon I could hear his loud snores filling the silent air.

I sighed as got up to clear his plates and wash them. I climbed up the stairs to my peach colored room and stripped off my clothes to put on a tank top and shorts.

Deciding to just go straight to bed, I crawled into bed and fell into unconsciousness.

-

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock ringing and quickly got out of bed to get my clothes for school.

I jumped into the shower and scrubbed every inch of my body. Then I got out and dried myself. I put on my under garments and threw a sweater and jeans over my petite body.

I walked over to my bathroom mirror and stared at the blue eyed girl who was looking right back at me. I lifted my hand and touched my cheek where there was a fading bruise that was made by my dad.

I blinked, brushed my hair, quickly brushed my teeth and sprinted down the stairs. for breakfast I made myself toast because my daddy dearest already left for work.

Making sure to lock the house door when leaving, I speed walked all the way to school. It took 10 minutes to reach my destination.

I looked up from the ground to look at my new school, Kingston High. Sighing, I pushed open the doors to a busy hallway.

Ashton's POV

"Ashton! Ashton! Ashton!"

Groaning in irritation, I turned away from my unbelievably annoying sister, Jessica. Don't get me wrong but I love her to bits but times like this, I'm wondering if I'm making the right choices.

"Ashton! Ashton! Ashton!"

"Shut up Jessica!"

"But Ashton you're going to be late on your first day of school!"

At this, I jumped out of bed and ran to the shower. Quickly drying myself, I picked out my clothes. Boxers, white V-neck tee, dark washed jeans, and black leather jacket.

I walked down the stairs to find my brothers with their mates sitting around our usual table. I went up to my mom and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"Morning."

"Good morning Ashton!", My mom beamed at me. I sat down said morning to my siblings and their mates as well.

Then Sophie, Brandon's mate, asked me, "Hey Ashton, have you found your mate yet?"

I looked down at my food, "No I haven't."

I then took out my headphones and started listening to music, ignoring the stares of the wolves around me.

Soon we were all loading into the cars along with some of the teen wolves who lives in the pack house.

Leaning my head against the side window watching trees zoom by, I blew out an inaudible sigh and closed my eyes.

I was thinking of my mate. Of how perfect she would be. How beautiful she'd be. Oh how I could show her off to everyone...

I snapped out of my daydream when I notice we arrived at Kingston High. We parked at our reserved spot. As we got out, it was like those movies when everything slows down and everyone is watching you step out of the car. So yeah us Slades are popular in Kingston, but we aren't players. We like to wait for our mates to come before we do anything.

Our car was soon swarmed by a whole bunch of the student body.

"Hey Ashton..."

I turned around and mentally groaned when I saw her. The girl wearing the extra mini skirt and a crop top, Erin. Her face was caked with make up and her bleach blonde hair was cascading down her back. She looked up at me with blue eyes out lined with mascara and eye liner.

"Oh. Hi Erin", I say not sure what to do. I looked at my siblings for help but they only looked at me with pity.

"Look Erin, I have to go. Nice seeing you again"- as if -"bye!", I rushed away from her and towards my brothers and their mates.

"Come on let's go before she comes after me again!", I ran into the school building with them chuckling behind me.

People parted to the sides of the hallway for us to pass through, staring at us in awe. Then I smelled something delicious. Something that smelled like vanilla and coconut. I quickly looked around before finally finding the source.

She was small and had her long dark hair tumbling down her back. She also had beautiful big blue eyes looking around like a lost puppy. Her skin was flawless and though she was wearing a sweater and jeans, she still looked beautiful.

I felt my wolf coming out and something he said made me tingle with excitement:

"Mate"
