Alpha Jackson

Chapter 2

Aiden and I had almost every class together except one. Math.

So far, Aiden and I had managed to escape Jackson, but unfortunately, we weren't so lucky when it came to lunch.

"Hey Blake" Aiden sat down next to me with his tray of food

"hi" I said quietly

"are you ok?" he asked while chucking a chip into his mouth

"yeah, just nervous. Ya know" he nodded his head completely understanding where I was coming from.

"Anyway, I got you some food" He placed another tray down in front of me with lasagne and a chocolate pudding

"thanks" I cut into the lasagne and immediately scream as cockroaches start climbing out of it. I pushed back from the table and fell on my butt in front of the whole cafeteria. Everyone erupted into laughter as they all pointed at me and laughed. One laugh was louder than the others.

I looked over to the "popular" table and saw the all high and mighty Jackson Reed, staring at me with a sly smile on his face.

Anger radiated off me. Aiden put his hand out for me and helped me up and I stormed out of the cafeteria

"I hate him! I hate him so fricken much" I slammed my hand up against a locker. Aiden grabbed me by the waist and pulled me into his arms

"I hate him so much. My life has been so good without him and the first day he's back he makes me the fool of the cafeteria".

The cafeteria doors slam open and surprise surprise it's Jackson Fricken Reed. I was still wrapped up in Aiden's arms when Jackson walked past us and forcefully bumped his shoulder into Aiden's body causing us both to tumble.

"What is your problem!" I rip myself from Aiden's arms and scream at Jackson as he walks past us. He halts in his spot and immediately Aiden chucked his self in front of me, shielding me from a fuming Jackson.

"No, Aiden move, I'm not gonna hide behind you anymore. I'm gonna face this douche myself" This only fuelled Jackson's anger as he stormed his way towards me, I moved out from behind Aiden and Jackson immediately grabbed a hold of my wrist. Tingles shot up my arm and immediately Jackson dropped my arm and took off running, running like my touch was acid to his skin.

"Arhh that man infuriates me!" I scream and grab my hair in frustration.

"What the hell Blake! Do you have any idea what you've done! You could have gotten yourself killed" geez, what was Aiden's deal? It wasn't him that got humiliated in front of the whole cafeteria.

"I'm just so sick and tired Aid" I rest my forehead against the school locker and sigh. Why. Why did that bully have to come back? I peer out of the corner of my eye watching as Aiden's eyes glazed over with some sort of fogginess. What's going on him with? He's been acting so differently lately ever since Jackson got back

"I'm so sorry Blake but I've gotta go" He quickly rushed off

"But..!"

"Bye Blake" He ran out of the door that Jackson once ran through

"You're my ride" I whispered to the now singing doors that hid his retreating figure.

The day went by rather quickly after the lunch time incident. I could still hear the snickering of how I made a fool of myself but quite frankly I couldn't care less. What pissed me off is that Aiden STILL hasn't talked to me ever since he left and ditched me with no ride.

I slam my locker shut and chuck my bad over my shoulder. I chuck my headphones in a start the twenty-minute walk. Half way home I call Aiden but only get his voice mail, I called him again and once again it sent me to voice mail.

"Oh geez, today was a bad day to wear heels. What was I even thinking? Oh yeah, that's right, I was thinking that my best friend WOULDN'T ditch me and would give me a ride home. I hope you have a darn good explanation as to why you completely abandoned me today, otherwise I will castrate you and make your life a living hell" I hung up and stormed home furiously.

"Hey honey, how come you're so late?" Mum asked as I pushed open the door to the kitchen

"Oh, just felt like to walk eight kilometres in heels. Oh yeah, that reminds me Aiden ditched me" I plonked myself onto the kitchen table and chucked off my heels and dug into my own personal jar of Nutella. You see, the thing is, I don't like to share. It's mine, therefore, no one else can eat it.

"Don't be mad at him, I'm sure he has a perfectly good explanation honey" I just hummed in response and went upstairs into my bedroom.

The afternoon went by slowly, it considered of binge watching supernatural and procrastinating on homework which was due yesterday. Mum made taco's which was my all-time favourite and as usual we sat on the couch and watched together bates motel which was our favourite show to watch together.

"Well mum, I'm going to head to bed. Love ya" I gave her a kiss on the forehead and made my way upstairs, I had a shower and chucked on my blue silk PJ singlet and my blue silk booty shorts. I was closing my window when I saw movement in the woods that were just outside my bedroom window. I unlocked my window and slid it up, staring intently at the woods. What was that?

And then I saw it, two blue orbs staring back at me, those eyes captured me, almost like hypnotising me. I continued to stare at those orbs as I crawled out of my window and slowly slide down the roof. I was almost to the edge as a growl came from the forest and that broke my stare from the blue orbs and stopped myself as I almost tumbled over the edge to my death. Well I may be over-reacting but you get the gist.

"Ok, slowly, down we go" I whispered quietly as I carefully climbed down the water pipe, the cold air nipping at my exposed skin. Damn, why didn't I bring any shoes? I tip toe into the woods following the blue orbs.

"Holy Fudge!" I put my hands over my mouth and slowly back away from the wolf sitting in front of me. He was the one with the blue orbs, well I mean eyes. This wolf was big, and I mean, like, Big! Even when he was sitting he was still taller than me, the wolf sat their patiently, staring at me with its head crooked to the side.

"Well hello cutie!" My eye widens in shock, I cannot believe that I just said that. I have a wolf in front of me and instead of screaming for dear life I said "well hello cutie". The wolf stared at me giving me a wolfy grin, well I mean, he is pretty cute.

"Hi" I slowly reached my hand out to touch the thing, it just sat there and eyed me off as my hand slowly crept forward, my hand disappearing into its fur.

"Oh wow, you're really soft" I watched as its eyes rolled into the back of its head and it fell to the floor showing me it's belly

"ahah you like that, do you?" it purred in response

"You need a name, I can't keep referring you to as it" I sat back and rested against the tree and wrapped my arms around my knees trying to stay warm. The wolf noticed the Goosebumps that travelled around my body and it wrapped its long body around me and rested its head on my lap.

"How about... cutie? I feel like it's good name because well, you're cute, and that's basically all the reasoning I have for that name" I quietly laughed to myself and ran my fingers through cutie's hair and before I knew it the warmth of cutie had my eyes slowly drifting close.
