"Elora!"I turn around to see my best friend running towards me. She hurriedly hands me a flyer for the school musical. It's something that I have always tried out for since my Freshman year.
"You're trying out, right?"
I'm about to nod until the thought of everything going on right now pops into my mind.
Do I really have time for a childish musical that would take up some time that could be spent for helping Maverick?
"I don't know." My answer is not what she is looking for as her face falls into a frown.
"It's our last year... we always do this together..." Her voice is small and sad, and I can already feel myself giving into her.
"I'll try out. But if it interferes with my—"
"Is this because you want to spend more time with your mate?" She smirks at me.
"Sort of. I need to help him with a few things and he also-"
I stop when she begins looking at my collarbone confusedly. "Where's your mark? I'd assume he's marked you by now."
"Um well he was going to but after my nightmare we thought it was best to wait and ..." I begin to trail off since Kaia is literally looking at me like I have grown another head.
I have been keeping her in the dark about Maverick and my problems lately.
"What? He like chickened out? What kind of Alpha is he?"
I growl at her tone towards my mate.
"Sorry sorry. That came out wrong. But seriously, El. What's going on? It looks like you haven't slept for days." She rubs my shoulder, looking at me with a worried expression.
"I'll tell you at lunch since we have five minutes before class, and it's a lot of stuff." I rummage in my locker for my trigonometry book.
"Maverick is nice to you? Right?" My head snaps to hers instantly.
I mean, Maverick himself has been nice to me...it's just that demonic wolf and curse that makes him scary. Deep down he really is sweet...I think.
"Yes...I'll tell you about it later." I rush in the other direction towards my class.
Kaia has math at this time too, but she is in the higher math course whereas I'm not.
After sitting through my math class and biology class, I head to my locker and grab my items for psychology. As I grab my book and notebook from my locker, I feel the presence of someone standing behind me.
I turn around.
Lucaya.
I stand up, closing my locker as I give him a questioning look.
"Elora ... um can I quick talk to you about something?" His voice is hoarse, sounding as though he has been crying for days. His eyes are also bloodshot.
He must've had a heck of a weekend, too.
"Um yeah of course. Want to talk at our free period?" I start walking in the direction of my psychology class, and Lucaya follows.
He grabs my arm to stop me, causing a growl to emit from my throat. I've been on edge since the whole thing with Maverick yesterday, so my wolf is more on the defense.
"Oh, sorry. I was wondering if I could talk to you now... it's urgent." His eyes dodge around the hallway, almost as though he's avoiding someone.
