You Had Me At "Stop Peeing On My Yard!"

Part 1

I was walking towards him when someone got in my way, glancing up, I see my friend Kerri Martin; who is in the same pack as me. Kerri and I've been friends since the first grade when she was bullied and I stepped in. They would pull her beautiful blonde hair and make her cry. I did what I had to do. Of course I got suspended from school but what are friends for?

"Heyyyyyy Raina, how was your weekend? I went shopping and got this really cute skirt." Kerri said, hooking her arm through mine she steered me the other way; away from my mate. Trying to pry my arm from hers, she looks down and frowns.

"What's your problem today?"

I turn back and just in time to see some girl plant a kiss on my mate's lips and his smile widened as he wrapped his arms around her stick-thin looking body, I instantly felt my self esteam drop.

That should be me in his arms.

I growled very quietly in my chest,that girl was going to pay hell for that. My lips in their own accord went into a snarl. Kerri paid no attention and continued walking and dragging me along with her; not paying any attention to me.

As per usual, Kerri walked me to my first class, I sat down and sighed. Tapping my fingers on the desk, I looked at the clock, forty five minutes to go until class was over. I put my head on my desk and closed my eyes, that was when I felt a warmth on my shoulder.

"Is this seat next to you taken?" a husky voice asked, I already knew who it was without looking.

Silent, I shook my head, my brown waves following the trail my head had taken.

Smiling, he sat next to me and held out his hand, "I'm Sterling McClain." His smile gave me butterflies and I didn't want them to go away.

Shaking his hand, I say, "I'm Raina Carson." Touching his hand sent little sparks through my body.

"It's my first day here, I transferred to here from the other high school from across too. My girlfriend goes here too."He says almost sheepishly.

"Like I didn't notice," I said in my head, sighing I turned my head.

"Something wrong, Raina?"

"No. Not at all."

That's when the teacher walked in and I began to think of ways to make Sterling mine.

--------------------

All day I thought of Sterling, when I arrived home, my mom questioned my mood. I didn't tell her anything. Heading to the backyard, I stripped of my clothing and shifted. It felt wonderful like stretching out a sore muscle.

I ran into the woods behind the house and passed Tom, Kerri's brother. He waved by I ignored him.

Once again, I was running.

Just enjoying the feel of the wind through my fur as I always do.

I stopped near the stream and watched the sun set, a beautiful sight of light pinks, oranges and purples. I shifted back to my human self and jumped into the stream. I heard footsteps and was about to shift until I saw it was Sterling.

"What are you doing here?" we asked at the same time.

He chuckled and looked down, his eyes widened when he noted I was in the nude.

Sterling turns his head and blushes.

Too cute.

"Is something wrong?" I asked innocently.

"You're uh not wearing any umm clothes."

"So?"

"Nothing." He wouldnt look at me.

I got out of the water and begin to wring the water out of my hair, taking my time.

Something is thrown in my face, it's warm and smells of Sterling. I realize it's his shirt, with a smile on my face, I put it on; fit me about mid-thigh.

"Thank you." I tell him quietly.

He nods and begins to walk away.

"Hey wait!" I chase after him,"Where you going so soon?"

"My girlfriend, Brittany is coming over for dinner and I just came out for a walk."

I looked down at my bare feet and started walking towards my house and he his.

Once he was at his back door, I shifted and peed on my mark.

Mine.

Only mine.

"Hey! Stop peeing on my yard!"

Sitting on my bed,in a pair of sweat pants and a tank, I pulled out my scrapbook. John Mayer played softly in the backround, soothing me.

Opening the scrapbook, I look back at the days when life wasn't complicated. When Tesha and I got along like sister should and when Momma was happy. I know she missed Daddy but he left us for some other pack or something. I haven't seen him in years.

Tears stung my eyes and a lump formed in my throat.

I missed my daddy.

He should be here.

Angry, I punched my pillow, a lone tear fell from my eye, I wiped it away and continued looking though the scrapbook. I stopped at a picture of Tesha and I, her soft dirty blonde hair in a high messy ponytail. She held my hand as I tried to stand. My green eyes looked happily into the camera, who I'm sure my father was behind.

I didnt want to think of my father anymore.

Turning out the light, I laid down and dreamt of long lost memories of my father.

-------------------

The next day Tesha drove us to school and she drove so damn sloooooooooooooooooooooow.

"Hey, can you hurry up a bit?" I asked.

"I'll hurry if I want to!" She snarled

Sighing, we finally turned into school, while Tesha looked for a spot, I saw Sterling and Brittney fighting. I smiled at the sight.

Later on in class when Sterling sat next to me, I was practically bouncing in my seat from wanting to see him, he looked upset.

"Hello" I smile up at him

He smiles but it doesnt meet his eyes.

"What's wrong?" I pry.

"Britteny and I broke up." is all he says.

Sterling will be mine!
