My Best Friends Are What?

7. Friendzoned?

Tinsley's POV

I walked through the corridor of the school and people moved right out of my way as I walked through because they were all afraid of me.

I headed towards the science blocks and a delicious smell hit my nose.

'Mate. Mate. Mate' my wolf Tinsel yelled out.

"Darius?" I called out.

No answer.

I kept on following the smell and it lead to a bunch of nerds. Are you kidding me?

One of the boys looked up and then elbowed one of the kids who had his back to me.

All the boys turned around but I was only focusing on one. How had I never seen this boy before? He was the most gorgeous person I have ever laid my eyes on.

I put a cute innocent smile on my face and walked towards him.

I twisted my hair around my finger, tilted my head down slightly but looked up and batted my eyelids.

"Hi I'm Tinsley"

This boy turned away from me and kept on talking to his friends.

Did he just reject me? His own mate? Was I not pretty enough for him?

"Am I not good enough for you? Do I not suit your standards? Sorry that I'm not one of your little nerdy girlfriends. I don't need you anyways. I have a boyfriend and he satisfies my needs just fine" I yelled before storming off.

I can't believe my own mate just embarrassed me like that.

Phoenix' POV

I headed towards my bed only in my boxer shorts. Just as I was about to climb in my door opens and a figure walks in. Not just anyone, but my mate Tinsley Winters.

She had no makeup on, her hair in a messy pony tail and was wearing a nightie.

"What are you doing here Tins?"

She moved into the light and that's when I noticed that she was actually in tears.

I rushed over to her and cradled her in my arms. Sparks flew everywhere and it was just the best feeling in the world.

"What's wrong?"

She shook her head and I sighed.

"Tinsley go to your boyfriend. He will know how to cheer you up"

"He's asleep"

"So I'm your second option?"

"He's my boyfriend"

"And I'm your mate!" I yelled. She flinched and I let her go.

"I'm sorry. I think you should just leave"

"No"

I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder and started spinning around.

I tripped over a book and landed on the bed with Tins under neath me.

We were both breathing heavily and she started laughing.

"What's your name?"

"Phoenix"

"Phoenix" she repeated after me.

She rubbed her hands up my chest and wrapped them around my neck.

"Stop Tinsley"

"Why?"

"You have a boyfriend. This is wrong"

"You're my mate"
