"Hey!" he yelled unexpectedly.

I turned around to make sure there wasn't anyone behind me. He was definitely talking to me.

"Hello?" I replied in more of a question tone.

He left the locker and walked towards me. I started to panic remembering how every time he got close to me it always ended in destruction. Only, he didn't try to hurt me. He put his arm around me with a huge smile.

My body stiffened at the closeness of his body and the moonlight scent he had intertwining with mine. My wolf didn't seem too happy either. She let out a unsatisfied growl and I felt her shy away from the surface.

I looked at Derek and he had a clearly furious look on his face. Im guessing by the way he hid it quickly that he didn't want anyone to see.

There's nothing I wanted more right now than for David to take his arm from around my body, and perhaps place it somewhere less visible. Because I felt like snapping it in two.

"Hows it going?" he asked as if it were rehearsed.

I picked up his arm and gently took it away from my shoulders. "I'm fine." I replied and looked that Derek. He wasn't as mad as before, but it was certainly still there.

"Sorry." David said with an apologetic smile and backed away a few steps.

"Can you stop smiling? It's unnatural." I said with furrowed eyebrows.

I heard the faintest chuckle coming from Derek's direction. I was tempted to glance at him yet again just to catch him smile. But when I did, I only found his arm wrapped around her waist in a protective way and her hand deep in his hoodie's pocket.

I slowly grazed up to his face and he tried to tell me something with his eyes. But wasn't taking any of it.

"We should get to class-" David started while placing his hand on my shoulder.

I shook it off and walked away, with one last death glare at Derek.

How could I possibly believe that he cared. When he had a perfectly beautiful girl waiting for him, when he was one if the most popular people in this entire school. He could have any girl he wanted, seriously any. And here I was thinking that he would settle for a wolf reject and all her problems.

I knew it was dumb to start trusting someone, especially him.

I continued walking, eventually passing my class and I felt tears fight to escape my moist eyes.

But I wouldn't shed a tear, especially for him.

I heard footsteps walking behind me. I could already tell by the scent that it wasn't Derek, and maybe that was for the better.

"I did something horrible to you, and I treated you like shit for basically your whole life. I just want you to feel safe again." Derek started. "It's not like you don't deserve it." he said.

I heard him step closer to me. My heartbeat quickened. The last time he was compassionate to me I ended up on the floor with a stained dress and tears covering my face. And a very bruised back at that.

"I'm not perfect either. Heck, I'm no where near." he said. I heard him throw his hands up into the air. "We've all got a little monster inside, don't you think?"
