"The equation goes here and multiplying this we get..."

I have been sitting in Mr. Halls class for two continuous hours, I was scribbling every little word he was saying and very soon I would be tearing my hair out of my head.

Initially, all the students were happy that our anatomy lecturer was absent and we would get an off today, including me, but later it was told that the class would be engaged by Mr. Hall.

In a span of one hour, five students were given detention for not paying attention. At last, the bell rang.

"There will be a mock test next week," he announced. Test so soon? All of us groaned and he gave us a sharp look.

I walked to the next class I had that was Art. I saw Sharon who was already inside the class, taking out her brush and palette. She was a human just like me.

I took a seat next to her, looking at me she brightened up."Good afternoon Eve," she chirped.

"Good afternoon Sharon. Where are Allie and Melissa?" I asked her.

"There they are," she said looking at Allie and Melissa entering the class. Allie took a seat away from Melissa, which looked childish. The Art class consisted of only humans.

"Why is she sitting away from you?" I asked Melissa, this made her sigh.

"She was going to run through Ice prince just now and I saved her from that, which she didn't want," she explained.

"So what?" Allie said and then having a dreamy look, "At least I would have him notice me once."

"I doubt that," Sharon muttered under her breath.

"Who's the Ice Prince?" I asked.

"One of your friends, Louis," she replied, "Allie has this huge crush on him not that we don't," she winked.

"He's so cool and calm," Allie, said looking afar.

"Did you forget the time when someone asked him out?" Sharon asked her.

"Why? What happened?" I asked curiously.

"The girl was given glares with an acid tongue talk," she said twirling one of her hair.

It seemed that Louis was quite popular with the girls. But he looked so quiet and calm all the time.

"Yeah, so I saved her ass today before anything could happen," Melissa replied.

"Eve!" Allie called me excited, "You could set me up with him you know," she said.

"I'll try," I told her sincerely.

"Yay," she beamed with excitement.

The class began and we started painting the canvas. I used to sketch but not paint, only the small cartoon ones. I wasn't getting the color right as I mixed the paints. Lizzy and others had class, Derek had called me earlier asking where I was, apparently, both of us had the day off. I had to buy extra oil paints and so I had asked him if he could show me where I could buy it.

I would have borrowed stuff from the castle but I did not find the items the teacher had asked us to get. It was a brand new thing.

I spent my lunch break with Lizzy, Bella, Louis, Kyle, Derek, and Ashton. It felt good hanging out with them.

"Eve!" he came jogging through the corridor, his blonde hair in a mess. I guess he just finished gym.

"Hey," I said as he halted in front of me, "So where are we going to buy them?" I asked him as I adjusted my side bag.

"Hmm, you can buy it in a mall that's there in the next city else I can take you to a nearby place here but that's a bit old," he suggested as we walked out of the building.

I waited outside the college gate for Derek to get his vehicle. I was tapping my foot on the ground when I heard a motorcycle sound. Turning I saw Derek in his black motorcycle.

"This is yours?" I asked him my eyes wide.

"Please don't tell me you don't like sitting on a motorcycle," he asked me wearily.

"Of course not!" I replied to him, "I love it. Can I ride it one day, pretty please," I asked him giving my puppy eyes.

He observed me for a while and then replied, "Nope."

"Damn," I muttered and he chuckled hearing this, I thought it worked and he would say yes.

"Hop on," he said and I did as he told me, "Hold on okay," and I grabbed hold of him putting my arms around his waist so that I would not fly off the seat.

In ten minutes, we were at the place where they sold everything regarding all the painting accessories. Getting all the stuff, I needed for the next class I checked out of the counter.

"Thank you, for helping me out today," I thanked Derek as we came out of the shop.

"When it comes to the friendship you aren't supposed to say thank you, you know," he said to me.

"It's a habit," I told him.

"Let's grab something to eat, I'm hungry right now," he said patting on his stomach.

"Okay but we are having sandwiches," I declared.

"I don't mind unless it's only vegetables," he said wrinkling his nose. We got our order and sat, eating the sandwiches. The music was blasting pretty loud here.

"By the way how did you know where to get all these things?" I asked him curiously. I knew he wasn't in any art class.

"When you stay in a pack and have she-wolves, you tend to get to know most of the things," he said shrugging his shoulder.

"Which pack are you from?" I asked him.

"Bloodstone," he replied proudly, " I'm training to be a warrior wolf."

"So you mean, you fight," I asked him, my straw in my mouth.

"Yeah, something like that you could say," he replied in between eating his fried chicken, " It's more like what a soldier does but in an advanced level," he explained to which I nodded my head.

"How come Preston?" he asked me, "You didn't like your old school?"

Now, how was I going to answer that one? Didn't he attend the ball or know I was living in the castle? Well, I could not tell, hey Derek I was attacked recently and someone wants me dead because I am the King's mate.

"It's a little complicated."

"I see," was his reply. Derek ordered some more as he was too hungry. We were sitting here for almost an hour.

I excused myself to the washroom later wanting to pee. Flushing I came out and stood in front of the basin. I bent down and washed my face with the cool water, it felt refreshing.

Taking the tissue, I wiped my face clean, threw it in the dustbin, and walked towards the door. I pulled the door to find it jammed. I tried pulling the handle again but it did not open.

"It won't open, darling."
