《My Rejected Mate》5

Edit-ish??
-Cassie POV-
I was in a complete daze, it's been a few days since me and Elliot started working on the project. It's been going awfully too well if I say so myself. Like we haven't argued not one bit and it's scaring me. Also I swore I felt his hand caressing my face, or maybe I'm going fucking bonkers. It must've been a dream because there's no way he would gently touch me like that.
Yes I must be going insane.
My phone went off and I saw it was a message for the devil himself. We actually exchanged phone numbers, I checked to see what he sent. It was the finalize version of our Sonnet. We decided to make a sonnet about scamming people because why not.
I sat up from my bed and shook my head to clear any thoughts. Today is the last day we will be on good terms and after that who knows what would happen. I went to the bathroom to get myself ready for school. I did my usual routine like showering, getting dressed and some last minute studying before departing to the depressive place.
I went downstairs and no one was there, I see everyone left already this early. I grabbed an apple and threw it in my book bag before leaving the house. The drive to school was short and simple, nothing much to it.
When I park my motorcycle I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. I have feeling something is going to happen today to me. I mean I've been having bad luck this past week, like super bad. Now everyday I'm kind of anticipating something bad to happen.
I entered the school building, and everything was just too normal. I tilted my head to the side confused, am I really about to get a nice day for once? No I doubt it, like I said I've been having bad juju lately.
As I walked to my locker I saw a random boy I've never seen in my life standing there. I slowed down my pace, yes now it's about to get weird for sure right now. I can just feel it in my bones. I walked up the boy and gave him a suspicious glance.
"Why are you standing in front of my locker for?" I asked him. He looked up from his phone and just abruptly handed me a note.
"Ok what do you want?" I asked in an annoyed tone.
"Here the teacher told me to give you this." He held out the note, I looked at him and the piece of paper. See isn't this just weird?!
"Go to the faculty room and give me the stack of packet's on the desk"
"Ok then, thanks?" It was more of a question this is by far the weirdest request. This note is just shouting bad luck. Nevertheless I went to the faculty room because I am simply curious. I mean who on earth would do something this stupid?
I think we all know who!
As I neared the faculty to room, to my guess I was right. Veronica was standing there on her phone. Of course she would set something this dumb up. I walked up to her with a smile and she noticed my presence.
"Veronica, odd seeing you here." I spoke and stood in front of her.
"Yes that is indeed weird, what a coincidence." She faked smiled at me with a innocent look. I pursed my lips and nodded my head.
"Well don't mind me, just getting some papers for my teacher for some weird reason." I sang out and opened the door.

I stood in my spot confused as I try to make sense of the scene in front of me. I furrowed my eyebrows and fought back a laughter. What is going on? I should so take a picture of this and show it to Toby and Jay.
What I'm seeing right now is Jenny trying to force herself onto Elliot. His hand is literally on her face pushing her head away from him. His eyes landed on me and I choked back my laugh with a awkward cough.
"What's taking so lo-" Veronica stood next to me and her face was also in complete shock.
"Dude, get your homegirl. She's like sexually harassing him." I pointed out.
"Please do, it's kind of creeping me out." Elliot literally had a disgusted look and I couldn't help but agree with him. What kind of shitty plan is this? I guess she wanted me in pain because of the mate link thing I guess. It failed horribly as you can see.
No in fact this is very comical!
"Veronica...you are literally so dumb and Jenny I have no words for you." I spoke slowly and took a step away from Veronica.
Veronica rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers .Jenny back off away from him with a look of embarrassment. Yes be embarrassed, because this was so dumb and foul. Elliot walk towards me and stood behind me. I felt him lean down and his lips were near my ear. Woah this is too close to my liking.
"I know you have enemies, but don't include me into the mix." Elliot whispered at mw.
"It's not like I asked them to do this! How was I suppose to know, I'm the victim here!" I whispered yelled at him.
"No I'm the victim here, I was about to be harassed!" He whispered back with a bit of attitude. My mouth dropped down in shock, I think we're both the victims.
"I'm sorry this happened, but I can't control that lunatic there! You can though she's in your pack, your people. So who's fault is it really?" I crossed my arm over my chest and gave him a pointed look
"Are you really twisting it this right now to make it seem like it's my fault?!" Elliot had complete disbelief written all over his face.
"I'm not twisting it, I'm just saying. She's your people, you can control her actions with just one powerful alpha command. Right Mr. Alpha?" Our faces were literally inches away as we glared at each other. I think we might just fight right here literally, there might be blood spilled.
"Hello we're still here." Veronica waved her hand and we snapped our heads towards her.
"Shut up!" We both yelled at the same time and she flinched. I took in a deep breath, cam down. Let's not cause a soon to be blood bath, lets be on equal grounds.
"Ok, I'm sorry that was rude of me. Now miss little trouble maker, let's not involve innocent people into your revenge plan it's not fun that way. Even if I like seeing people suffer." I grumbled.
"Are you a sadist or something?" Elliot asked.
"You know I ask myself that a lot, I do like seeing people in pain after all." I said honestly. Elliot again had another look of disbelief plastered all over his face.
"You are ridiculous." He shook his head. I shrugged my shoulders and my eyes landed on the clock. Oh my class is about to start and we have to present our project. Who knew this was going to take up some time.

"Elliot we have to go! We have to present in class today!" I grabbed his hand and started dragging him out of the room. I stopped shortly and pointed my finger at Veronica.
"I will deal with you later miss troublemaker one and two." I said firmly and left the room while dragging the wall of brick with me.
"I can walk you know?" He pointed out.
"Seeing how I'm dragging you and you're not keeping up. You're pretty slow to me." I scoffed and pulled him along harder. I think he's even purposely dragging his feet. I heard him snort and I rolled my eyes even though he couldn't see my sassy attitude.
Ah we are holding hands...
****
The house was quiet and I think I can achieve peace for tonight. My parents are out of town right now for some business. Toby and Jay are at some friends house for a sleepover so it's just me here. A big smile spread on my lips, this is nice. Never in my life I would think I can achieve nirvana until now.
I went on my phone to scroll through some social medias and noticed how there is some big party going on today. Videos after videos of this party, I was quite amazed with the amount of people that were even there. How does one teenager host a party so big? All I could think about the connection this person has.
I threw my phone on the bed and grabbed my laptop to put on some random movie. It was a boring one that would eventually help me fall asleep. My eyes were getting heavy by the minute but I didn't want to go to sleep quite yet. It was actually at a good part where the female lead confesses her love.
It went to shit when a call came through.
My hand searched for the rectangle object and when I finally got it I answered the phone. I was greeted by the sound of loud music and people talking in the background. I looked at the caller ID to see that Jay had called me.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Hey Cassie, my lovely little sister! I need a favor from you!" Jay speech was a bit slurred and I sighed out.
"What's in it for me?" He's interrupting my peace, if he thinks I'm going to do it for free he's wrong.
"I'll give you $50 dollars, now can you bring me my wallet it's in the drawer on the left side of my bed." He said. I got up from my bed and left my room to go into his. As usual it was a mess, I scrunched up my face and went to his bedside.
"How do you forget your wallet?" I questioned him.
"That's my special wallet, my savings. I'm buying these shoes off this guy so I need it." He sang out.
"You're buying shoes...at a party?" I spoke slowly.
"Yes? Is there a problem with it?" Jay said a bit sassily.
"No not at all, just send me the address and I'll give it to you." We ended the call and not a moment later I got the address to the party.
I put on my hoodie and grabbed the car keys. I don't feel like taking my child to the party. What if it gets wrecked somehow. Then I would cry and a car would be safer considering the crazy night. Who knows what these drunk teenager would do.
As I drove I couldn't help but be a bit grumpy. Had to pause the movie at the good part, and now I have to step outside. It was even a bit cold too. Hell the party was a bit far, a 15 minute drive. Ok that's pretty short, but here me out its like way passed 11. I'm like a grandma, I like to sleep at a nice respectful time.
When I did arrive at the party I was immediately put off. It was overly crowded, there was people partying outside, loud music filling my ears. Then that awful stench of alcohol and bodily sweat, curse this werewolf nose. I grabbed my phone to call Jay and guess what this fool didn't do? Answer the phone. I gritted my teeth and turned off the car.
I left the car and entered the party, and I think I became a tad bit deaf. I couldn't even hear my own thoughts. I was getting pushed around as I tried to get through the sea of bodies. I was slightly getting annoyed and started to focus on Jay's scent. When I did manage to pick it up, I started to follow it. What is this man doing now that he can't answer my phone call?
I ended up going upstairs and down the hall stopping at a door. I banged on the door and seconds later it opened up. Jay was in there with some girl and I think my eye twitched in annoyance. I held up his wallet and proceeded to throw it at him and it hit his face.
"You owe me 100 now." I jabbed my finger on the side of his head.
"Ouch! Ok! Ok! Here!" He handed me a 100 dollar bill and I smiled in a tad bit of happiness. I grabbed the door knob preparing to close it.
"Carry on what you were doing." I smiled at both of them and closed the door.
I securely put the money in my wallet and started to make me way out of the party. When I ascended the steps it seemed like more people got inside of the house. I prepared myself mentally and physically.
Let's push these people out the way Cassie.
With determined will power I entered the dancing crowd and attempted to get through. I didn't want to use all my strength since I do not want to injure these poor people. Though I do regret it because al the pushing the people were giving me I was going in the opposite direction of the door. If I was in a movie right I would've dramatically reached out towards the door to add the pizazz.
Then the song changed and I don't know why, but it made all these people become more aggressive with their bodily movements. I wonder if there's a scientific study how music causes people to become like animals?
As people were going absolutely bonkers, a partygoer literally rammed into me causing me to lose my footing. I fell to the ground and they were laying on top of me. In the process of trying to catch myself I landed on my hand wrong. There was a stinging sensation in my wrist and I groaned out in pain.
All I saw were moving legs in my field of visions and it was making me anxious. This is dangerous I could literally die if it turned into a stampede. Well it's about to become one soon, if this music beat get's more excited.
Suddenly I felt weightless and I was being held up in the air above these people. Some noticed and gave me weird looks, they did carry on onto their dancing though. My feet met the ground and I turned around to give my thanks to my savior. My eyes connected with very familiar brown eyes and I couldn't even speak because I was stun.
"Elliot? What are you doing here?" I asked him confused. Elliot looked confused and it seemed like he didn't catch what I said. I gestured my hand and he leaned down lending me his ear.
"I said what are you doing here?" I asked again. He turned his head slightly so he can speak into my ear.
"I should be asking you that? You never go to parties." He pointed. I have to admit he's pretty observant. I'm not a priss or anything I just don't have an interest for these things. I like staying home where I can be by myself comfortably.
"Yeah I was running an errand for my brother, I was trying to leave then I got stuck." I spoke. Elliot nodded his head and stood up. It seemed like he was scanning the area and he grabbed my wrist all of a sudden. May I point out it was the one I injured. I pulled my hand back and showed him my wrist.
"I injured it!" I yelled slightly so he can hear me.
"Oh sorry, then follow me!" I nodded my head and he started to walk creating a path. I followed closely behind him. I'll admit he's helpful right now, got a big stature and people would willingly move out the way.
Eventually we did manage to get outside and I breathed in the nice fresh air. It was oddly humid in there and it was not comfortable to take in air. Elliot was sitting down on the steps, his head was leaning on the column. He was staring mindlessly into the grass. I stood in front of him and it seemed like he was still in a daze. I waved my hand in front of him and he blinked before looking at me.
"Are you ok?" I asked him, yes I am concern because he's a bit too nice right now.
"I'm a bit drunk." He mumbled.
"A bit drunk? You sure?" I snickered a bit. I don't think he's a bit drunk now.
"Ok I am drunk, very drunk." Elliot admitted.
"Then go home." I suggested like it was the most obvious thing.
"I would but Thomas was my ride here." He sighed out. My mouth formed an 'O' and I nodded my head. I pursed my lips in a fine line and held out my hand.
"I'll take you home then, you helped me back there after all. Call it being even. " Elliot stared at my hand and he looked at me weirdly.
"Thanks but I rather not got home. My mom will chew me out if she finds out I'm drunk. I don't need her nagging at me. I'll just camp out here for tonight." I'm not going to lie I feel guilty for some odd reason. Probably because I feel like I'm in debt to him. A stupid thought popped up in head and I pushed it back in my head. However it just resurfaced and I really thought deeply about it.
What's the worse that could happen.
"Then let's go to my house, no one is home you can crash there for the night." I pulled him up from the steps and started to usher him to the car.
"Your house?" Elliot glanced back behind him.
"Yes my house, I'm just repaying you for saving me back there. Don't think much of it." I said.
We got into the car and started to drive off. As I drove I would ever so often glance towards him to see if he was alive because he was extremely quiet. Then to came to realize he was deep asleep, now look at him. Who's the comfortable one now?
The weird silent car ride ended and I tried to shake him awake. He wouldn't budge one bit, I got out of the car and went to the passenger side. I opened it up and unbuckled his seatbelt. I shook him awake once more and he slightly opened his eyes.
"We're here, I need you to move now come on." Elliot mumbled something incoherent under his breath. I sighed out and somehow manage to drag him out of the car.
He leaned against me as I tried to keep our balance going inside the house. It was a journey I'll tell you. Elliot was a heavy boy for sure, felt like he weighed a ton. Literally he's built like a brick, with my hand around his torso I can feel his hard rocks abs. How much did he work out to get this point.
"Come on Mr. Drunk I need you cooperate with me now. Up the stairs into a room." I said as I dragged him up the stairs.
"I'm dizzy, and hot." He grumbled annoyed.
"Who's fault was it to drink now?" I retorted. We got to the top of the stairs and honestly I'm too tired to even bring him to the guest room since it's down the hall. The closest room is mine and I can put up with it for one night.
"Why do you always try to pick a fight with me?" Elliot's nose grazed my cheek as he tried to lift up his head and I flinched in response.
"I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, now hush!" I exclaimed. We got into my room and I practically threw him onto the bed. He plopped down with his eyes closed, while my hands were on my knees out of breath. God that was a challenge.
Elliot sat up with an annoyed look on his face, again he was mumbling under his breath. His hand reached the helm of his shirt and he began to lift it up. I quickly ran towards him and caught his wrist.
"What are you doing?!" I cried out.
"I'm hot and I don't like sleeping with a shirt on." He said like it was the most obvious thing.
"Well today you're going to sleep with your shirt on! Now put it down!" I tried to push his wrist down and he didn't budge one bit.
"No."
"No?!"
"Yeah, I said no." He deadpanned. I want to choke him now, like really and right now.
"God you're so...Ugh I don't even have the words to describe you!" I again tried to push his hand down and he rolled his eyes at me. My mouth dropped down, isn't he a bit too sassy for a drunk man?!
I don't how he manage to catch me off guard but now I was laying on the bed and he was hovering over me. I was beyond bewildered, no I was completely flabbergasted right now. He did it so swiftly I didn't have time to react to it.
"You're annoying, you know that right?" Elliot furrowed his eyebrow and I titled my head to the side.
"I'm sorry that I annoy you? It kind of comes with it cause we hate each other." I said. Something in his eyes changed for a moment and now I was becoming very self aware. He was too close to me, like way too close. I felt small when he's literally on top of me.
"Right I hate you, I do hate you but..." Elliot eyes just bore into mines and it was making me very anxious.
His face was slowly getting closer to mines and I just laid there stupidly like some deer in some headlights. Cassie he's drunk, slap him awake or something. My body did the complete opposite of what I was asking and I just stayed put.
