"So where is it gonna be? My house or yours?" Jack asked and I thought about it.

A good day for him to come over would be today since my dad has work today till seven.

So after he drops me off, I guess Jack could come over and we can quickly work on our project and then he'll leave. And my dad won't suspect a thing.

I wrote on a piece of paper that he could come to mine and he seemed pretty ecstatic.

The bell finally rang and I quickly I got out of my seat and made my way outside the classroom and started my journey to 102.

Suddenly I was pulled roughly from my broken arm into a dark classroom. "Shit." I cursed loudly. It hurt like hell.

"Aha, so you do speak!" Said a very familiar voice. Ah fuck.

The lights suddenly turned on and there standing in all his glory was Jack.

"So...?" There's no point in hiding it anymore.

He seemed surprised with my answer.

"Why though?" He questioned.

"It's a free country, I can do whatever the hell I want." I have no idea where this confidence was coming from but I was just in a really bad mood.

"Feisty, I like it." He muttered and looked at me with a smirk.

He started making his way closer to me, my breath hitched, he was so close. Too close.

He brought his hand up to my cheek and caressed it.

"What happened?" He whispered softly, referring to my burnt skin.

I was so lost in his eyes, that I was about to tell him everything that has happened in my life for some reason, but I caught myself and quickly composed.

I stepped back from him and coughed awkwardly.

"None of your business, now if you excuse me I have class." I said making my way towards the door.

Instantly and an inhuman speed, he was in front of the closed door. "Tell me." He whispered again. Why wasn't he yelling?

"Move, I'm already late to English." I tried moving him but with my weak state, I failed miserably.

He suddenly grabbed my arm and crashed me into his chest which made me hiss in pain, but he didn't care, he just wrapped his arms around me.

Is he hugging me?

Why?

And why do I feel so safe?

And warm?

And all fuzzy inside?

After that very awkward hug, I fled out of the classroom and went on with my day like nothing happened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ignored Jack all day and made sure he didn't see me.

I told him to come over today after school at three pm in gym class and he agreed.

It was enough to time until my dad got dressed and went to work.

He didn't go to work everyday, which was pretty weird but I never questioned him since I don't want to get into trouble.

At exactly three pm, I knocked on the door, eagerly waiting outside for Sophie to open.

I was so happy and excited. I get to finally spend time with my mate, although it's a short period of time and it's for studying it's still going to be great.

I'm hoping this will trigger our bond making us a bit closer, maybe I could start feeling some of her emotions after today.

She opened the door, dressed in some worn out jeans and a grey hoodie. Why would she wear that if it's so freakin hot outside?

"Hello." She said quietly. Her voice was very beautiful, I couldn't get over how amazing she actually is, even though I don't know much about her, I'm glad I was paired with her. I don't care if she's human. I will love her the way she is. Sophie is honestly so beautiful, although she never explained those horrible bruises which angered me but I shook it off, I hope one day she will open up to me.

After a couple of hours working on our project, Sophie kicked me out of her house. She was rushing and cleaning up quickly as if afraid if she didn't do so quicker, something would happen.

I argued for a bit, I didn't want to leave but she said it was important and I didn't want to make her upset.

I got to the pack house to see everyone staring at me.

I shrugged and kept walking.

Ah shit, I forgot my phone there.

A sudden pain to my right side let out a loud cry from me. Everyone in the pack house started freaking out and made there way towards me to see what's wrong.

After some moments I realized something? This wasn't my pain, it was Sophie's.
