The Silent Freak

Chapter 2

Carter's POV.

Its hasn't even been a full day since I've known Harley but already its been a lot less stressed than my previous years. I finally have some one to talk to and who will look at me like I'm not a freak but actually a normal person like everyone else, or at least I hope so. I mean she doesn't talk so she's already different from everyone else that I know, and I have a feeling she knows exactly what it feel like to not fit in.

Having lost track of where Harley went I track her scent and start following it. Spotting Harley by her locker I creep up  behind her while covering her eyes and instantly she stiffens. "Guess Who?" I whisper. She puts a finger to her chin and lightly taps there. A look of amusement covers my face as I wait for her answer.

Stupid!

I'm utterly confused at the intrusion of my wolfs voice in my head, this is the first time he has spoken to me ever since I announced I was gay and our mate wouldn't be with us.

What? What did I do?

Think about what you're doing right now

Realization struck me I feel like the biggest jerk wad ever. I was dumbly waiting for her to voice her thoughts on who was covering her eyes but my own thoughts of her being different and not being able to talk had slipped away. I put my hands to my sides and hang my head and begin to walk away. Before I could go she put a hand on my arm.

Wait

Why should I? She probably doesn't even want to be my friend anymore. On second thought were we even friends to begin with. I'm so stupid we were probably never friends. She probably just pities me.

Just wait

When I looked up I gasp, I was greeted with the first smile that I have ever seen on her face, and might I say, it was the most beautiful smile I have ever seen in my entire life. I felt my wolf smirk in pride at my response. Her smile alone washed away all my insecurities.

Do you think she would have stopped you if she wasn't your friend or be smiling at you right now?

I still couldn't help but ask her one question, I needed to see where we stand from her point of view. Just in case I'm reading our whole situation wrong.

Harley's POV.

"What are we?" Were next words that came out of Carter's mouth and it shocked me. I never thought that he would have the same doubts as me about our relationship, if you would even call it that. So I simply put out my arm and waited till he looped his with mine. He gave me a confused look that I just ignored and started skipping down the hall with him. Soon after he was skipping in sync with a smile gracing his features. I suddenly stopped, and pulled out my note book and wrote what I was thinking: Were off to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of Oz!

I wasn't sure a smile was capable of becoming so big but his did.

"I was thinking the same thing!" he exclaimed, and then we were off skipping again while he started singing 'Follow the Yellow Brick Road'. This only increased the size of my smile as I hummed along in tune with him.

When we finally stopped we were in front of a classroom and our laughter soon filled the halls. Oh how I miss being so carefree and happy.

Carter's POV.

I have only just recently met Harley and she has already made me laugh and smile more than I have in a whole year. I can tell that she is funny and a trouble maker but she always has a look of fear in her eyes. Hopefully I can get answers to my never ending questions, but right now I'm just going to handle the simple stuff.
