When we walk into the school hand and hand, we find out that we are just a few minutes late for classes. I walk with Shelby to her first class, not wanting to part with her before I have to. When we get to the door, I plant a quick peck on her lips. Sparks and tingles fill my body from the small gesture.

"I'll meet you after class." I whisper to her. I reluctantly release her and take a step back. She opens the door and walks into the class. I can hear the teacher asking her about being late. Lucky for her, Mrs. Vince is a wolf. If Shelby tells her that she found her mate, the punishment will be less. Although, I bet she would just get a warning to begin with anyway.

I trudge to my class. Why couldn't my birthday be on a Saturday this year? Or better yet, summer? I wouldn't have to go to class and be away from her.

I finally make it to my Physics class. My teacher is human, and I have been late before, so he assigns me extra homework. I sigh in relief. I thought I was going to get detention or something like that! I can't waste time in some classroom today!

I slide into my seat after Mr. Mayvus is done talking to me. This is going to be a long class.

Finally— Finally!— lunch time comes around. Before I even think about getting in line and getting food— yes, I, a teenage boy, put something before food— I walk to the table I normally sit at with Shelby and some of her friends. She is already sitting and is leaning over the table a little laughing at something one of her friends said. I slip into the open seat next to her and peck her cheek.

"Um wow," Willow, one of Shelby's friends, say with wide eyes. "Is there something you didn't tell us, Shelby?" Willow points to the girl next to her, Johanna. They are both sophomores and have been friends for as long as I can remember.

Shelby's cheeks paint with pink in an adorable blush. "We're mates." She mutters. I beam hearing those words come from her lips.

"I gathered that." Willow smirks. She is a pretty straight forward girl, rarely gets embarrassed by what she says.

I lean next to Shelby's ear. "Can I talk to you in the hallway?"

She shudders lightly, making me smirk, before nodding her head. I grab her hand and lead her to the hallway. She says a quick 'We'll be right back' to the table. Once out of the doors, I drag her a little farther away against the wall by some lockers. She is leaning against the wall as I stand in front of her.

"What is it?" She smiles up at me.

I softly press my lips to her inviting ones before answering. "Shelby Marie Anderson, will you go on a date with me tonight?"

"Yes," she giggles.

I beam as I press another kiss to her lips. "Don't dress real fancy. And, I'll pick you up around six."

"Okay," She looks at me expectantly. "Aren't we going back?"

"Not yet." I put my arms on either side of her and lean in to capture her lips again.

Nervously, I straighten my tie for the fifth time standing in front of the Anderson's front door. I raise my hand to ring the doorbell but drop it for the third time.

What is wrong with me? Why am I acting like this? She's my mate, I've kinda like her for a while now.

Just reach up and ring the doorbell already, you pansy! Andre, my wolf, mutters frustrated at me.
