I'm still shaking after that weird incident at school with Sage. It was scary, definitely freaky. What a rush to get picked up like that! What scared me more was that I liked being near him, that close; I could smell his scent of woods and green pine. I love those smells. I can't stop thinking about it as I walked to my car, which was way down the street from my school. I looked everywhere, thinking Sage and his gang were here waiting for me, but there was no one. It was like everyone had disappeared, like they needed to be gone. It was weird. What day is it anyway? Oh, that's right, Mr. Sage is having a bash, and guess who isn't invited? Yep, me! This is his big 19, which is when he finds out who his mate is. All available she-wolves are welcome, but no humans are allowed to come.
I remember when that happened, the first day of school, a week ago. I could never forget how he looked up at me. At one point, I thought he was smiling at me, and it felt like it was just us two in the hall. He was strutting down the hallway like he was the king, which he soon would be. He passed out invites while smirking, winking, and smiling at the ladies, but he was only looking at me when he came towards my locker. I thought he was gonna give me one. Wow. Nope, he was giving one to his girlfriend, Ness, short for Vanessa. She is going to be the future Luna. She's been dating him for three years, they're so in love, blah blah. She always said that no one would take him away from her, and I'm thinking graduation isn't coming quickly enough.
He quickly shook out of it when he got close to me and her, "Remember, no one wants you here. So go away and leave me and my girl alone." He said as he pulled Vanessa up on the locker. He started kissing her neck, then her lips, while looking at me. I was like, "gross" I rolled my eyes and walked away. I felt a chill up my spine, and when I looked back, he was glaring at me, licking his lips. He started to trace her neck with wet, sloppy kisses making them loud enough for us to hear. Looking back, when school started, he did seem different. I quickly changed my mind thinking he was not acting differently. He was acting the same as he always did. It was just all in my head because I wanted it to be me in Vanessa's place when she gets kissed, touched, slammed on lockers and walls, the smiles and love ass taps, his hand in my jeans back pocket, getting my lunch, and whispering sweet nothing in my ear. I have a secret…. I have a crush on that jerk.
I am not far from the car park. Man, I am so glad no one is out right now. I am hungry, and I wonder what mom is gonna be cooking. I hope it's baked shredded chicken tacos, and I love them. Nearly there just a little further, and I will be in the bank parking lot. I had to park way down there! It's a good thing my uncle is the president of the BB bank. I have my keys between my fingers because my dad said, "always be prepared. You never know what will happen." I am about to open my door when I see a figure at the trees close to the woods staring at me. It is getting dark out. The figure is wearing a hat and a hoodie. I can't take my eyes off that figure. I can tell it's a guy. He's moving closer, so I start unzipping my bag, trying to find my pepper spray; it's hard to look for it. When I look up, I don't see the figure anymore. I'm frozen, yelling to myself to get in the car!
Just then, someone grabs me, and there is a hand over my mouth. When the figure quickly turns me towards them, I see who it is. It's Sage Stone, with eyes of lust and anger. He is getting closer to me, leaning into me. He is right in my face, breathing in my scent. He growls. I panic and push him as hard as I can.
"You're freaking me out. What is wrong with you today? And what about last week? What was up with that?" I say, panicked.
He licks his bottom lip while I'm freaked outstanding there staring at him. He says nothing. He grabs me and kisses me. I push as hard as I can. He looks at me, and again I push as hard as I can. I move a step back, closer to the door of my car, to open it. I get in, lock my door, and start it up while looking at him. He is still breathing in the air and smiling. I just drove off and headed home. I get in the house and run straight upstairs to my room, and I lock my door and windows. I crawl into a ball on my bed and cry myself to sleep while thinking….why is he doing this to me? Does he have a crush on me? Can he read minds....can he read mine?
