Ariel's POV:

The next morning I did the same old routine: shower, brush my teeth, fix my hair, get dressed, then go downstairs to eat breakfast and say goodbye to my parents. Except when I finished eating my breakfast, and I was getting ready to say goodbye to my parents, they stopped to talk to me.

"Ariel I hear that you've met the new pack member." my mom says smiling at me.

I nod my head slowly, expecting to hear a list of responsibilities to come.

"As a child of an Alpha, it is your responsibility to m-" I cut my father off before he could get into detail.

"I know dad: 'make sure that he is not left out and is treated like he has always been a part of the pack.' " I say remembering the last time we got a new member.

My parents smile proudly and my dad stands up and walks towards me, "Good, and I'm positive that you will stick to that." he says giving me a hug, "Have a nice day sweetheart"

"Okay you too dad" I say hugging him back.

When I get to school I am surprised to see Jeremy waiting for me at the front of the building.

"Good morning " I say giving him a warm smile. "You know you don't have to follow me around today, you can get your schedule from the office"

"Good morning to you too, and I already got my schedule" he says holding up a sheet of paper.

I snatch the paper out of his hand and read the list of classes. We have PE, literature, and government together.

"We have 3 classes together" I tell him

"Only 3?" he whines, frowning. I smile at him remembering yesterday...

*Flashback*

After I gave Jeremy my number I went to my room and changed into something comfortable. Then I laid in bed and played on my phone for a little while. After about an hour of staring at the screen, I put my phone down to charge and started doing my homework. As I was finishing up my essay, my phone started ringing. I looked at the screen to see who it was and found out it was an unknown number which was strange. I removed the phone from its charger then hesitantly answered.

"Hello?" I said uneasily.

"Hey Ariel, it's Jeremy"

I put my hand on my forehead, and remembered that I forgot to get his number.

"Oh, okay" I said not knowing what else to say.

"So what's up?" he asked.

"Not much", I replied, "just doing some homework, what about you?"

"I just woke up from a nap, and decided to call you"

"I wasn't expecting you to call at all" I admitted

"Why wouldn't I? And besides you told me to enjoy, so I am" he said

"Oh well..." I trailed off not knowing what else to say.

The silence that followed was deadly, the only sound you could hear was breathing:

Inhale, Exhale, Inhale...

A minute later I realized that the sound, deep and steady, was only coming from the other side of the phone, and I immediately let out the breath I was apparently holding.

"So umm... I have to g-"

"Wait!" he yelled, cutting me off,

"Are you busy?" he asked.

I looked down at my incomplete essay and sighed "Not really" I lied.

"Cool" he said, "meet me in the kitchen, okay? "

"Okay" I said then I ended the call and put the phone down.

Oh gosh, I thought as I headed towards the stairs. When I got to the kitchen I saw Jeremy sitting on the island reading a magazine while eating a sandwich. I walked into the kitchen but he didn't seem to notice, so I went to the island and leaned on the area next to him. He looked up from the magazine and stared at me for a while before smirking and turning back to the article he was reading.

I sighed and shook my head.

"Jeremy what do you want?"

"Nothing" he mumbled, flipping the page.

I narrowed my eyes at him as a smile appeared on his face. I turned around to leave, but as soon as I took one step Jeremy grabbed me and pulled me onto his lap. I started wiggling around trying to get free but it was no use. I sighed, defeated, I turned around and looked at him expectantly.

" For real Jeremy, what do you want?" I repeated, a hint of annoyance in my voice.

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair then said: "Ariel you seem like a really great person and you're fun to be with and I just want to spend more time with you, is that okay?"

I smiled and looked up at him, "Really Jeremy? Is that all? Of course we can spend more time together, I won't mind."
