Chapter 6

“Haven, I’m sorry.” Those were the first words out of Kendra’s mouth in first hour and as I raised my hand to stop her, to tell her my apologies she cut me off. “I shouldn’t have done that, you said he was your mate and stuff. I guess it was just hard to believe because we don’t know if they really exist. Well I mean, I guess now we know right? Anyways, it’s your birthday and it’s Halloween! We have to celebrate, and we shouldn’t fight when we do it.” She gave me a cheerful smile and I tried to return it equally. “Besides it’s just one guy, a guy that we don’t even know the name of. So we shouldn’t even worry about him am I right?”

“Caine,” I said, not looking up from my notebook as we sat down at our seats. All I could hear was his voice in my head, the way he had claimed me in words. I could feel his fingers on my cheek and his breath on my neck; and I rejected him. I shoved him away and said it wouldn’t happen. How was I going to go through the night like this?

“What?” She asked, her voice confused as her hand grazed my cheek. “Haven…you’re crying.”

I pulled away from her and shook my head while wiping at stray tears. “I’m fine,” I stifled as the bell rang signaling first hour to begin and I thanked God for his miracle workings of time. Kendra took as seat as I stared at the classroom door, waiting for what I knew would come.

I could feel him walking this way, and feel how he was holding back tears like me. I could feel him, and as I thought about it more, the heavier the tears came in a silent bidding. He can’t be a part of me like the characters in books.

The door opened and with it came a girlish laugh and then I saw them. My Caine and the girl that had hit me; the sound of buzzing whispers filled the room but all I could hear was a steady ring. The sound was so high pitched that I sat there, with the tears drying on my face as everything faded out in the room but his voice. He was saying his apologies for being late and she clung to his arm like it was nothing.

I felt the steady buzz of adrenaline under my skin as my feet moved on impulse and I stood. I felt Kendra’s hand reach for me as I began to walk forward, and my hands forming fist as the teacher I’d known for years began to talk to me, but my eyes locked with the girl.

Bubbly blue eyes and a smirked played on her red plastered lips. I glared at her, my feet moving at a steady pace as I brought myself to cock my head slightly with a smirk to match hers. Caine stepped away from her and raised a hand up to stop me and I drew my eyes from hers to his.

“Move,” I glared at him and I watched as his body shook, and his head tilted as if to try and read my motivations. “Move, or you go down with her.” I shoved his hand away and then pushed at his chest. “Stay out of the way,”

I walked forward, meeting the girl with a sway of her blonde hair and I raised my fist back; the adrenaline pumping through my veins as I felt my arm rush forward only to meet a hand closing around it.

“Well, I guess I’m stepping into something,” A silky sweet, deep voice met my ear as I turned to look up at the hand enclosed around mine. “I’m Jayce Blaze, I’m new here.” I stared at the boy only an inch away from my face, and my breath faltered. The lines of his face were sharp and hard, as he gave me a knowing smile. His eyes were deep brown and his hair was short and shaggy; he laughed slightly as his hand slowly slipped its way into mine.

“Hey, we just got here and you’ve already got a girl?” I looked behind Jayce to see another boy with features matching his, only this guy’s hair was longer and had a dark blonde streak. “Nice to meet you pretty lady, I’m Jax, it’s not short for anything though, just J-a-x, Jax.”
