APUI: Volume 1 - My Life as a Werewolf

Chapter 3: Why Do I Even Bother With School? ... Or Mates?

GRACE

Ugh, I groaned getting up. Suddenly I realised it was my first day at my new school! Quickly I walked to my wardrobe. My old school had a very strict uniform but my new school had none! This meant I could wear what ever I wanted. I surveyed all my clothes and picked out a suitable outfit. As it was October it meant the weather was warming up. (A/N Southern Hemisphere!)

I decided to go with a pair of my new short shorts, my new black Connies, a t-shirt and my leather jacket. I like to consider myself badass but I guess, don't we all? I also like to consider myself a well dressed nerd. yeah, that's right, I'm a nerd. I'm in grade eleven so I'm in senior school. (I would be junior in America... I think) This means that I have to pick my six subjects. I am doing what we call the suicide six; one English (it's compulsory), two maths (maths b and maths c) and three science (chemistry, biology and physics). I always get A's and I love maths. I am always reading or at some nerdy thing. multiple people have told me I'm a nerd and multiple people have told me I dress well so therefore I must be a well dressed nerd. unfortunately, no one has ever actually told me I am badass. I have mostly been told I'm disagreeable, contradictory, adamant or one of those kind of things. I insist that I am very likeable and everyone loves me but my friends say this is sooooo not true.

I went downstairs, had breakfast, cleaned my teeth and said goodbye to Chris and glossy. grabbing my backpack with my books in it, I went outside and walked to school.

I reached my new school half an hour before it starts. I went to reception met up with ash and Tara who were both getting their timetables like me.
1- English 9:00-9:45
2- chemistry 9:45-10:30
[morning tea] 10:30-11:00
3- physics 11:00-11:45
4- maths b 11:45-12:30
[lunch] 12:30-1:30
5- maths c 1:30-2:15
6- biology 2:15-3:00
Yay, I thought. My sciences were spread out across my sessions and English was in the morning which meant I could sleep through it. Not that I would be needing to. My new school was so much more relaxed and started 40mins later, had 10 mins more morning tea and 10mins more lunch and finished 10mins earlier than my old school. Life was going to be great... I don't know if that was sarcasm or not...

I walked with ash and Tara to our lockers. I was sad because Chris wasn't at school any more and because my new school was co-ed we could have gone to the same school! our lockers were next to each other's and we go the hang of our combos really quickly. Me and ash were is the same English class so we said goodbye to Tara and grabbed our books.

Outside English we took a deep breath, and walked into the classroom. suddenly the previously noisily classroom was deathly quiet. all eyes were in us. silently ash and I slipped into some spare seats at the back of the classroom. Talking resumed almost immediately.

By the time morning tea came around ash and I were so sick of school. I was so glad that ash was in all of my first session classes. however she was in none of my second session classes and only one of my third session classes. This meant that I only had half of my classes with her.

As we grabbed our morning tea and headed towards the cafeteria I felt a pair of eyes bore into mine. An amazing smell wafted through the hallway. it smelt like mint, books and the forest after it rains. I turned around and there was the hottest guy I have ever seen and trust me, it takes a lot for me to say that you are hot.

'Mate!!!' my wolf shouted happily. my wolfs name is Emily and she is even worse than me in personality. I inwardly shuddered. you could see that whoever my mate was he was a total player. chances were he was going to reject me. his eyes turned black with lust, just from seeing me and I just couldn't help myself - I laughed my fucking head off.

"What are you laughing at?" he growled. this just made me laugh harder. I gulped in air and stood up."you" I said. "I should be laughing at you; you're the nerd. what is wrong with me?" he asked. That hurt. was it really that obvious that I was a nerd? "umm let's see" I pondered. "you are a player as far as I can tell, probably quite the powerful bad boy." all the werewolf books I had read over the years had prepared me for this moment. The moment where my mate rejects me for being a nerd. even if I am a hot nerd. I made an executive decision.

"I, Grace Stanley, reject you, random guy, as my mate" Technically I didn't do it correctly because I didn't use his name. That also meant it didnt hurt my wolf. Now, it was his turn to laugh."I was going to do that" he said. "beat you to it" i replied. ash stared at me "I thought you said you wanted a mate?" she said. nonchalantly, I replied "yeah i did, but he's a player who is just going to sleep with every fucking girl he sees and break my heart or just outright reject me so I don't see the point" ash looked at me and nodded "Good point" she said.

As we turned to leave, i got pushed up against some lockers. Where our skin touched? i felt sparks, but i ignored them. "I, Jackson Collins, reject you, Grace Stanley, as my mate" he said. This time it hurt like hell. Luckily i am rather tolerant of pain so i could ignore it. "okay" i said and strolled away towards the cafeteria. then I realised something. HOLY SHIT! I JUST GOT REJECTED BY MY MATE AND ALMOST REJECTED HIM BACK!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N So she meets her mate! he's a dip shit isn't he? well, they always are.

I also found her a last name which is cool.

And yes you guessed it, she will make her mate regret rejecting her, well, sorta...

Luv ya guys (if anyone is actually reading this book)
