Wolf girl: Luna's Discovery

Jack Smith

I try to pull against her iron grip on my arm as she pulls me towards the office. "Zoe! We are already late for class and I have Ms. Benq for art!" She gives me a sidelong look that says it all.

Ms. Benq was a teacher that you wanted to have when she was in a good mood and, being Zoe, that was VERY rare. "We'll only be a couple of minutes and anyway you'll have an excuse for your tardiness," she says as she continues to pull/push me along.

We make it through the front doors where I say, "And what excuse could that--" I stop talking when I fall into a pair of strong, warm arms that envelope me against a rock hard chest and abdomen.

"Woah there," says a smooth, husky voice. "You might want to watch where you're  going next time, love." I look up into the eyes of Mr. Hottie-new-guy.

I smile, a bit flustered and manage to say, "S-sorry, didn't see you there." I try to push myself out of his arms but, I only get far enough so that his hands slip from my shoulders to my elbows in a quick fluid movement that sends a small shiver down my spine.

He smiles at me with perfect white teeth and says, "Naw, it's alright."

I'm struggling to say something when Zoe interjects holding out her hand, "Hi! I'm Zoe Greene and, this catch here, is my best friend Paisley Snow." I shoot her a quick glare but, she only smiles wider.

"Hey, I'm Jack Smith," he says after shaking her hand quickly.

He gives me a side long look and I reply lamely, "Umm... Hi?" I mentally slap myself on the forehead for being so dumb. Although he didn't seem to mind much, he does let me go. 'Good one Paisley, show the new guy how awkward you can be!'

We were apparently both just standing there staring because, Zoe had to clear her throat to get our attention back. "So Jack, do you know what class you have now? Because Paisley here gives the best tours around school." I turn to her with a hand on a hip and a scowl on my my face, 'Who does this girl think she is?' But yet again the damned girl just smiles warmly up at Jack, I turn back to him.

I mean, I wouldn't blame her to keep looking at him. He was so unnaturally gorgeous, it just wasn't fair. He had curly, ebony black hair, that snuggled slightly at the nape of his neck,  sapphire blue eyes, dark tan skin that had to be from an Italian heritage, peach full lips not unlike Zoe's and my own, and, a weirdly shaped birthmark--it almost looked as if-- as if it were a crescent moon 'hmm..'

He was wearing; a black bomber jacket, beige jeans that had the weird hemming on the knees, a clean white t-shirt, black hiking boots and a dog tag chain around his neck. He looked like a bad boy. A very, very hot bad boy...

I shake my head as if to shake out cobwebs and, take a look at his timetable now that Zoe is holding it. Zoe and I look down the page and, I goggle my eyes at the same as Zoe blows out a low whistle.

95% of his classes were advanced and half of them I had with him. Zoe spots out that his first class today is art with Ms. Benq, 'Funny that' is all I can think. "Oh Paisley has this class first up as well!" Zoe says and looks up at the both of us.

I look towards Jack and give him his timetable, I then look down at my watch and say, "We better get going, it's already been 20 minutes into class."

Zoe nudges me in the side with her elbow and mumbles something about getting to class herself. I look over to find Jack watching me, he raises his eyebrows and puts his hands out front, palms up as is to say; 'lead the way'.

It's 9:45 when we arrive out the front of the art class. I softly knock on the door before opening it and sticking my head in. Ms. Benq is standing at the front of the class talking but when she see's me she stops. "Why hello Paisley, I didn't think you were planning on stopping by. Have you got a late note for your tardiness?"
