Not Happy for Long

          The next day in first period, I sat there, looking at his beautiful back. Yeah, I said back… his purple fitted school shirt hugging that wonderful torso of his.

          “Mr. Matterwood!” I heard from somewhere.

          “Huh?”

          “I’m doing the attendance; please pay attention when I call your name. If I hadn’t seen you walk in, I wouldn’t have known you were here.” It was the teacher, Mr. Parker. What does he want me to do now? Oh, attendance. Right.

          “Uhh, I’m here?” I said in more if a question. The class laughed and he turned around, looking at me. His chocolate brown eyes were so enticing. I couldn’t help but look into them… I couldn’t look away.

          I felt the feeling of shyness over take me. The only problem is that I wasn’t even the slightest bit of shy. If anything, I am happy. Hell, beyond happy… I’m excited!

          Then it all came down like bricks, realization slapping me. He was shy! The bond! I’m feeling it through the bond... damn, this thing is strong. I guess since I’m closer to him, the bond is stronger than before. I chanced it and smiled at him; he smiled back immediately and turned around, breaking the gaze. I was getting hard and I felt his emotions as well, he was now surprised. Shocked.

          Shocked at what?

          During second period I told Peter everything and he seemed more amazed and interested than I was. “That’s wicked man; he can feel what ya feel, too?”

          I looked down in thought, “I don’t even know.” Can he?

          “Shit, yo. What if he can, what if he feel some type of wolf urges… like the excitement ya get when ya see him? What if he notices sumthin diff’rent?”

          “That’s not gone be good. But remember in cooking class, when I had smiled at him and he was shocked. Why would he be shocked? I am his mate.”

          “Yo, he don’t know that. Shit, ya never talk to him and alluva sudden ya smilin’? He might be creeped out or sumthin.”

          “True. I need to get him to trust me. This bond thing is getting stronger; I don’t want it to cause my wolf to come out either. Got any ideas?”

          “Sit by him in lunch.”

          “No, he sits with his friends. That’ll be weird.”

          “Make it un-weird.” He encountered back, immediately.

          “I can’t.” I said helplessly. He left the conversation as that, opening his notebook so we could copy down our English 3 vocabulary.

          Later on in class we read a book that dealt with a guy hiding his feelings from one that he loved until one day he died. That hit me pretty hard because in a way, we were the same. If I didn’t open up to Charles, then I would be forced by the bond. I’d rather die than hurt my mate in any way, even if it was for the best.

          I thought about what happened last week with Jason, but I didn’t think that it would affect this week. Hopefully he forgot.

          In lunch, I made my way over to the last line. Courage was moving my feet. This is the line my mate always chooses and is the only time I can catch him alone before his best friend comes. Or his girlfriend, my wolf muttered. We both shuddered at the fact.
