Fierce Nervous Beta

Not a normal school day

'KitKat it's time to get ready for school sweets.' My dad links me. I groan and bury myself further into Olivers side. 'Come Kit, I made peanut butter pancakes.' I can't refuse peanut butter anything. Okay, I sigh and move to stand up from the couch. Before I can stand Oliver tugs back next to him with a menacing growl. I lean over so my lips are right by ear.

"I have to go to school." I say loudly. Oliver pushes me away and I land up on the floor which causes giggles to erupt. I can hear Oliver chuckle as I walk to the kitchen. The doors are open to the outside patio and the salty breeze sweeps around the room. We live on the beach. I grab pancakes off the counter and read my dads note - Alpha called. We have to go on a trip so I'll be back in a week. Have a great day Kits. Love you lots. P.S. Don't forget patrol this afternoon.- I walk down the garden, onto the beach and strip. I float in the ocean while I munch my pancakes. This is a regular morning when I don't have training or patrol. When I'm done with breakfast I head upstairs to change. I have a quick shower but don't was my hair because I like the calming salty smell. The salt water also makes my curls even tighter. I choose a cute short denim dress with a satin pink bow belt around my waist. I pick my pink pumps and put my hair into half up half down space buns. I brush my teeth and do my face care routine, I don't wear makeup. I then grab my books and head downstairs. Ollie is still sleeping on couch when I head out. Kade is waiting in our drive way, unusual for him to want to take me to school but I hop in his Jeep.

"Morning Buttercup." Kade smiles at me

"Morning Snickerdoodle." I smile back. "Not that I'm complaining about spending time with you but why are you picking me up for school?"

"Because the top dogs are gone everyone else has to do patrol before school. Lucky you that I did patrol last night so didn't have to this morning." Made flashes me that signature smile, the one that can make any girl fall at his feet. The one that just makes me giggle at his silliness because I'm immune to it.

"Lucky me indeed."

"KitKat I think it's time for you to start driving outside of territory again."

"Um, let me think about that. NO!" I give him my stern Beta look.

"Come on Kat it's time. It's already been 2 years. Just try, please."

"It's only been 2 years. I'm not going to so please drop it." The butterflies in my chest pound at the thought of driving at all nevermind off territory. Maybe one day I will but not any time soon and that's okay. 'No one's slick as Gaston. No one's quick as Gaston. No ones neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston.'

"What do you have today?" Kade looks at me with concern.

"English, Bio, Accounting, Maths. You?"

"Jessica, Angie, thin blond, curvy brunette." He flashes that smile again.

"You are disgusting!" I playfully punch him in the arm.

"Oh like you and Jackson don't know exactly what I'm talking about." He rolls his eyes jokingly at me.

"Only part of what you're talking about. I'm a lady thank you very much."

"Lady my a*s! You know who does know what I'm talking about is Oliver and I'm sure he'll want to talk about with you." Kade does that thing with his eyebrows, the hint hint wink wink thing. That makes my chest butterflies act up badly.

"I needed encouragement, thank you Lefou" Kade looks at me like I'm crazy.

"Well, there's no one as easy to bolster as you

Too much?

Yup" Kade then realizes what I'm doing and starts singing with me

"No one fights like Gaston

Douses lights like Gaston

In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston

When I hunt, I sneak up with my quiver

And beasts of the field say a prayer

First I carefully aimed for the liver

And I shot from behind

Is that fair?

I don't care

No one hits like Gaston

Matches wits like Gaston

In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston

I'm especially good at expectorating

Ten points for Gaston

When I was a lad, I ate four dozen eggs

Every morning to help me get large

And now that I'm grown, I eat five dozen eggs

So I'm roughly the size of a barge

Who has brains like Gaston

Entertains like Gaston!

Who can make up these endless refrains like Gaston

I use antlers in all of my decorating

Say it again, bum badum bum

Who's the man among men? Bum badum bum

Who's the super success?

Don't you know? can't you guess?

Ask his fans and his five hangers-on

There's just one guy in town, who's got all of it down

And his name's G-A-S-T

I believe there's another T

It just occurred to me that I'm illiterate

And I've never actually have to spell it out loud before

Gaaaaaaaaaaastoooooooooooon"

By the end of the song we're both laughing while parking at school. Our school is communal for many packs in the area. Looking around you can tell who's from which pack because most of them have branding of some sort, jackets, shirts or bold visible tattoos. Our pack doesn't care that much so we only have our pack tattoo which isn't visible on most of us. It also helps any rouges to not be singled out because the other packs can't tell if they're part of our pack or not. We get out of the car to the vibey atmosphere. The football group is in their corner playing music and everyone is enjoying themselves.

'Venom

I got that adrenaline momentum

And I'm not knowin' when I'm

Ever gonna slow up and I'm

Ready to snap at any moment I'm

Thinkin' it's time to go get 'em

They ain't gonna know what hit 'em'

We walk over to the group because Kade is part of the team. Everyone moves over to make space for me on the wall. I nod along to the music and listen to the random conversations. Soon the stench of cheap cologne hits me.

"Hey sugar." Dylan stands between my legs with his hands on my hips. I put my hand on his chest to keep the last bit of distance.

"Personal space Dylan." I say sweetly and bat my gorgeous long eyelashes at him. Dylan is the captain of the football team and to be Gamma of another pack. He is also extremely misogynistic and treats me like property. Out of respect for the pack treaty I don't f**k him up like I really want to. His grip on my hips tighten.

"Coming to the party tonight?" He leans closer to me.

"What party?" He scoffs at me.

"I'm having a party at my house tonight to celebrate the teams victory in today's game. Everyone in the school is invited by default but I wanted to give you a special invite."

"That cocky are we?"

"Confident and yes." Douche bag but he throws epic parties. Being the last few weeks of school we aren't really doing much so a party on a school night should be okay.

"What time?"

"We all know the party only starts when The Golden Group arrives so you determine the time." He scowls at this true fact.

"I have pack stuff till 7 so I should get there at 8." The bell rings.

"See you then." He smiles wickedly at me. My skin crawls. I grab my stuff and walk into the building with Kade. We split ways when I head off to English and he goes to Jessica on the other side of the school. I meet up with Lizzy on my walk.

"Hey bitch." She bumps hips with me.

"How was patrol this morning?" We link arms and walk to English class together.

"You're going to have your hands full with scouting this evening. Couple of rouges were found too close for comfort." I whine at this. "But in other, supposedly sexier, news. We hav a new English teacher. Apparently he is young, a warrior and FINE." She emphasizes the last part. I roll my eyes and laugh at my friend.

"Please tell me you are not going to hook up with our English teacher."

"He's only our English teacher for the next few weeks then he's fair game." I bury out laughing and so does she. We look like crazies as we walk into the class laughing our heads off.

"Miss Anderson. Miss McCullugh. Thank you for gracing us with your presence." The new teacher doesn't eve look at us as he writes on the board. The 2 of us contain our giggles and mumble a sorry sir. He then turns to look at us.

"Miss McCullugh outside now!" He growls out to Lizzy. She looks at me and quickly moves out to the hall with the new teacher outside. I walk to my seat next to Gina.

"What's going on?" Gina whispers to me. I just shrug my shoulders and turn to face her.

"Party tonight at Dylan's. You coming?"

"Don't you have pack crap? If you get the rouges under control, sure I'm there." She smiles devilishly at me. The two of us are the worst when it comes to parties because we drink way too much and dancing through our shoes. It's so much fun.

"We'll leave at 8ish."

"We'll all come to your house to get ready at what, 7?"

"Sound good. I should be done at 7 so I might be a bit late." Just then the principal walks in.

"Class is dismissed this morning. Miss Anderson-Finley I suggest you collect the boys of The Golden Group and meet me in my office." He says pointedly at me. Mr Jacobs is part of our pack and is on the counsel. He has a soft part for us and we all love him.

"Yes sir." I reply. Gina hurries out right behind him and I walk around the school to collect everyone. Kade is in Chem and I have to practically drag him away from doing some very dirty things with who I can only assume is Jessica. Gavin in in Maths and nearly falls over his chair when I come to collect him. Jackson is in PE and doesn't bother to get changed before coming to the office with me.

We all now sit eating biscuits in Mr Jacobs office. My butterflies start to flutter a bit at the unknown of this meeting. Mr Jacobs walks in and leans on his desk looking at the 5 of us on his couch. Where's Lizzy? We're incomplete without her.

"I'm going to miss you all when you graduate." Mr Jacobs has a sad smile on his face.

"We'll come visit Mr J. Every Wednesday for tea." Kade jokes. We all laugh and he rolls his eyes at us. We are always in his office on a Wednesday because of something we did that we weren't supposed to. It started on our first day and became a tradition over the years.

"Please do." We all smile at each other.

"Deal." I say between mouthfuls of cookie.

"So you are here because Lizzy has found her mate, Mr Julian Edwards." Oh Lizzy. We all chuckle at the news. Of course Lizzy's mate is our new hot English teacher. "But also because your presence is required at the territory. The rouges are getting closer and the counsel has made the decision to send you off to put an end to whatever they are doing. Kat you will take Beta position, Gavin Gamma. Gina will be head warrior since Lizzy has another engagement. Jackson and Kade will be assisting her. Dismissed and good luck." We all head out to do as we are told. To be The Golden Group.
