Chapter 3 *Banter*
1095 Words
The Date for my 13th birthday drew near, days went by rapidly that I wondered if the universe was in haste in getting me shift. But I knew it was just my own anxious state that made it seem like the year was rolling by faster than the norms. Was I excited about my birthday? This is a question I wasn't sure of.
I had no family to celebrate with me, no friend to wake me up with water or a birthday song. Besides, the pack doesn't even care if I shape shift or not. I just didn't know if it should excite me or not, so i kept my emotions void.
I sighed softly, playing with the soapy sponge in my hand, my mind going back to my day at school today. I had gotten into trouble with one my teachers for my inability to finish my assignment on time and she had seemed so piss that she lashed out irritably at me, what i don't quite understand is why she had to be so aggressive about it, that was my first time of making such mistake, yet she acted like she had been waiting for the opportunity to harass me.
'' if you're going to spend all day washing those dishes, I should probably get you a pillow so you can sleep on the dishes''
Someone commented behind me with distaste and I hissed, not caring who it was.
'' That would be nice of you, you might probably want to help massage my sore muscles''
i snark a reply to him with an eye roll.
'' keep up with that sassy tongue of yours and it will get you into deep trouble. I don't have the time for you today so I'll just ignore''
he replied, and I scoffed.
'' you should have realized that earlier and minded your business and not creep up on me like a jobless t**t, ''
I replied, going back to my washing duties. I heard him growl lowly before storming out of the kitchen.
Stupid Chris, I don't understand who he thinks he is, does he think because he is friends with the future Alpha I would fear him, he has something else coming if that's what he thinks.
The only people I fear and accord respect to in this pack are the Alphas family and Beta Turners family, they're the only ones I fear. But that doesn't mean I don't speak my mind when necessary. I'm not one to be pushed around.
But I try as much as possible to stay away from trouble, for my good, because I know no one would fight for me. It was better to avoid trouble.
But Jason's friend thinks I'm a pushover simply because I respect him as my future Alpha they think they can get the same treatment but I never fail to put them in their place.
I cleaned the wide expanse of the kitchen island and the kitchen. Glad that no one was coming in to the kitchen because I still had to sweep and mop the kitchen floor. I finished with sweeping, so I quickly grabbed the mopping stick and bucket, adding a little of disinfectant to the soapy water before proceeding to mop the floor.
I was halfway through the mopping when my eyes caught someone walking into the kitchen. My eyes followed the trail of his feet to see the dirty patches it left on the wet floor. This made me livid. Was he blind or something? I hissed in annoyance, raising up my head.
'' Are you blind or just too stupid to notice that the floor is wet or didn't you see me mopping''
I asked infuriated grabbing his hands and pulled him back. The phone he had all his attention on dropped with a thud on the wet floor and I couldn't care less.
'' what the hell, what's your problem''
he snarled at me, pulling his hand away from my hold, and I hissed at him.
'' Brandon or whatever you're called before you snarl your idiocy at me, look behind you and see the mess you've caused, do you know how tiring it is that I have to do this all over again, of course you won't. I bet you don't even lift a finger to do anything at home you have daddy and mommy to care for your every needs, that's why you could so blindly walk in on someone who is working his ass off and giving him extra loads of work''
I retorted in annoyance, not showing any sign to back down.
''wow wow, easy their tiger. Take a break okay, I wasn't looking, besides how come you know my name''
He asked, and I felt like slapping him with the mop stick. So everything I said made no relevance to him, and he asking how I know his name.
'' is that really important right now, am I a joke to you or something. You should apologize and not ask me stupid question''
I spat out, and he laughed. Is this boy playing with me?
'' okay chill I am sorry, I wasn't exactly paying attention to know the floor was wet, i had my eyes glued on my phone my best friend was saying something really important, apologies for having you extra work, I'll clean it up for you instead''
He replied with a smile, grabbing the mopping stick from my hand to clean up the mess he had made, and I held him back.
His reply stunned me, isn't he one of Jason's friend, I had expected him to come back with an insult or even shove me like most of them but he had proved me wrong and Apologize, and now I feel like a bad person for lashing out at him like that?
he raised his brows at me as I held onto the stick with a powerful grip.
'' what? you don't have to, I'll do it myself, pay attention to your surrounding next time, just pick up your phone leave''
I replied walking away from him embarrassed as I cleaned up the mess. He coughed awkwardly, bending down to pick his phone.'
'' well then I'll just take what I came for and leave, sorry''
he apologized again, rummaging the cabinets before heaving a satisfying sound, and walked out of the kitchen through the back door.
And I wondered why he had apologized and why he didn't even create a scene or assert his power over me.
