Hope's Best friend

Trial run

I get out of my last class of the day English. Well it would be my second to last class but my actual last class is magical history. But since I'm banned from those classes I'm done for the day. At least I get out of P.E. You know  because I'm a wolf I'd use my strength and agility to win at dodge ball. Well I may be a wolf but agility is not something I have. I might be the clumsiest wolf in the world. I trip over my own feet. I walk out of class and see Alec is standing with his friends talking. He sees me and smiles, turns back to his friends, and than walks over to me.

"Done with your classes for the day?" He asks. I nod. "Wanna talk now?"

"It's not after dinner." I state the obvious.

"I know but dinner isn't for two hours, I don't think our conversation will be that long. Do you?" He smirks.

"I hope not." I say rolling my eyes playfully. He keeps looking at me. I shouldn't but I give in. "Let me get some different clothes on. I'll meet you in your room in twenty minutes."

"Okay see you than. I'll make sure Danny is out." He explains than walks away. Oh yea Danny his roommate. Sometimes if people want they can have roommates. Hope and I asked to be roommates but we were denied. They thought that we would get into more trouble if we were literally together 24/7. Which I will admit we did when we were roommates as children. We spent hours talking and planning pranks and escape plans. Not sleeping a wink and messing up spells in class. One time we were so tired we mixed up a simple levitation spell and turned Josie Saltzman's hair blue. It stayed that way for three days. She laughs with us about it now as were in nine at the time, but Lizzie still hates us for it.

I open the door to my room and I see a note on my bed. From Hope.

'Home safe and sound. Mom is very pissed. I think something is going on that I don't know about. Aunt Freya is acting sketching and mom is making secret phone calls.'

I write her back immediately.

'It will be okay they are probably just mad. You haven't even been home 24hours, it will get better I promise. Alec and I are about to talk about the kids so wish me luck.'

"Touve mon se kavo. Touve mon se kavo." I say as I throw the note into the fire.

I quickly get dressed. Just a white graphic crop top tee,with a blue skater skirt and my favorite black flats. I put on my necklace from Freya along with a blue headband. My makeup is just lipgloss and mascara. I myself in the mirror. Perfect. I quickly walk out of my room and head to the boys wing.

            .........

I take a deep breathe and knock on Alec's door.

I hear footsteps than the door opens. He looks me up and down and smiles. He moves out of the way so I can get inside. I step inside looking around. Typical boys room. Trophies clutter the room along with clothes and textbooks. The walls are covered in posters. Mostly of sports players but some hot girls from magazines are clustered around. I hear the door close and turn my attention to Alec.

"Sit." He says gesturing to a small love seat in the corner of the room. I walk over and sit. I cross my legs and put my hands on my knees.

"So." I say breaking the awkward silence.

"So." He repeats pulling up a desk chair so he's sitting in front of me. "The kiss."

"Yea the kiss. It was."

"Not just a kiss. I felt something." He admits. I swallow harshly trying to get rid of the lump that has formed in it. I say nothing."And you don't feel the same way." He looks down at the ground.

"No it's not that." I instinctively place my hand on his knee. "It's just you're a senior and the school year is almost over. In about two months you will be gone and I'll be here." I explain. Probably forever but I don't say that out loud.

Alec grabs my hand that was on his knee. "I'm going to be going to college at Whitmore. That is not that far from here. We could make it work."

I sigh. "I don't know."

"How about this. A trial run. We date until the end of the school year. If we completely fall for each other than we do another. Over the summer. Than when the school year starts up next year we see what happens. If you do not like me than we will end it. And I promise it will be like it never happened. No hard feelings. No commitment unless you decide."He smiles at his plan.

I think about it. It could work. I mean just to see how it is.  No hard feelings if we don't work out. I look at him. He flops his hair out of his eyes. Those eyes have me in a trance. Okay okay. I know I've told him he's not my type, which is kind of true. I've always been attracted to blondes and wolves. But when he showed up at school when I was twelve I was in. There was just something about him.

I smile. I hold his face gently in my hands. I kiss his lips. "Is that a yes?" He asks.

"Let's try it." I giggle leaning in again.

This should be fun.
