A kiss on the cheek

1985 Words
~LENNY~ I groan as the alarm clock rings, blowing my eardrums out. When it is set so low, I can not hear a thing. But when it is high, it threatens to make me deaf. I pull the covers off of me when the time reads 7:00am. I really hate weekdays, but fortunately for me today is a Thursday. One more day to the weekend. I brush my teeth and take my bathe, then put on my black skinny jeans and an off-white hoodie. I am done around 7:30, then I head downstairs for breakfast. School starts at 9:00am, so I have an hour and a few minutes. School closes at 2:00pm so I will be spending a few more hours there. "Took you long enough." Danny grumbles. Everyone is at the table. It is a law set in stone in this family that, apart from emergencies we all eat breakfast together. It is okay if we are not able to eat lunch and supper together, but eating together in the morning is a must. "Yh. yh" I take my seat beside Danny, then we all dig in. I fill my plate with pancakes and take a glass of orange juice. "So....I will be off after Ben's birthday party." Danny says out of the blue, drawing dad's attention. "I thought you were not supposed to go till next month. Dan's birthday is just next friday." Dad says in between meals. I would have been grounded for a year if I were the one who did that. "I do not mind being the only child here." I say with a smirk. "I am going to college not the mortuary, you duffus." She grumbles. "Neither of you are kids, so please mind your words." Dad says with disapproval, shutting Danny and I up. I ignore Danny and finish my meal, then say goodbye and ones again take mom's car to school. Danny had her own car on her 18th birthday, so I am waiting till my 18th birthday to get mine. I stop by Milly and Ronny's house to pick them up. Their house is like a mansion, their parents are super rich. They could have a car of their own but they argued, and I state, that what is the point of taking two cars to school, when we can all get to school in one. This time, Ronny calls shotgun. "So...I was thinking, let us go clubbing tomorrow night." Milly suggests. I wonder if the girl has a split personality. She can dress like a tomboy today, and the next time you see her, she is dressed like some hot chick from a magazine, just like today. She's wearing a yellow cropped top matched with a black high waist jeans and heels. It is school we are going to, so I do not see the need to wear heels. "Why are you dressed up so much today?" I ask with a raised brow. I am thinking it is one of two things, either she has found her mate and wants to dress to impress or she likes a guy who is not her mate and wants to dress to impress. "Just felt like dressing up." She says. But I do not believe her. The girl is blushing. How can you blush if you did not dress for a guy. I say nothing and change the topic to what was being asked in the first place. "How do you plan on getting me in the club? I am not yet 18." I argue. I park the car when we get to the schools compound, all three of us get down. I make sure to lock it before we go. It is the one thing mom insists on me doing. "There is no need to worry about that. All you have to do is get ready on time and meet us at our place." Ronny says. "Ok.. then." I say, "see you during lunch." I say to Ronny when we get our English class, the first class I have for today. Milly and I are in the same English class, Ronny has English on different days than us. I really can not wait for this senior year to be over so that I can have some rest from going to school. Whoever said school is fun is talking crap. "Will your parents allow you guys to go to the club?" I ask Milly after I take my seat and she takes hers behind me. "They will not....anyway they will not be home on Friday, so we have the whole house to ourselves" she says with a smile. "You guys are so lucky. I do not remember the last time my parents spent just a day outside." The English teacher walks in at that moment shushing everyone. The class pretty much goes on without any drama, ending way too fast. In fact, the week is going by way too fast. Milly and I head to the cafeteria, Ronny is already there waiting for us. After we finish our lunch Milly and Ronny head to their next class as I make my way to the washroom. I wash my hand after using the restroom, the hallway is pretty much empty when I step out. But I guess I was wrong because the next second, someone bumps into me making me loose my footing and fall flat on my ass. But I don't stay down as much as I would like to curl up and sleep, I do not. I get back up on my feet when I hear the all too familiar voice of Ben, the Alpha's son. "Watch where you are going next time." He warns, as if it was my fault. He is the one who bumped into me. "I think you should take your own advice." I say looking into his brown eyes, his bangs curtaining his left eye. A frown is tattooed on his 'pretty boy' face at my comment. The guy is a few inches taller and much more bulky than myself, so when he folds his arms on his chest and tries to look tall and intimidating, it actually works. But that does not mean I am going to let this asshole shove me around. "Is that a challenge? Are you for getting who you are talking to?" His voice has a hint of a growl as he steps closer, backing me into the wall. "I know perfectly well who you are. But you can take what I said anyway you want to, it is your choice." My smart mouth says, resulting in his hand on my throat the next instant, cutting of my air supply. My hand goes around his wrist, trying to pry his hand off of me but as expected of an Alpha's son, he is pretty strong. "I think you have a death warrant." the sinister smile makes him look like a psychotic i***t. "You are ...a..an ass...hole." I manage to wheeze out. His hand only tightens on my neck. My heartbeats faster, I get dizzy from not having enough air supply to my brain. Just when I think he is going to finish me off, he lets go of me, causing me to slide down the wall in a coughing fit and panting for air. He bends so that he is at my eye level then says " you are lucky we are on school grounds. The next time this happens you will not be so lucky." Then leaves me coughing till tears fall from my eyes at how hard I'm wheezing. I do not know why the Goddess gave a person like Ben as our Alpha's son. If this continues he might as well be putting everyone in the pack's name in a death pool. When I am sure I have my breathing under control, I head to my next class even though I will probably received detention for coming in late. Just as expected the teacher did not let me go scot-free, giving me two hours of detention after school. I send a text to Ronny telling him that they will have to go home alone since I have detention. After school I stay behind for detention. It seems we are supposed to be three, but the other two people are not yet in. "Sorry for being late Mr. Woodman" Leo apologizes when he enters, followed by his friend Mathew. The two are together most of the time. Leo raises a brow in question when he notices my presence. I will be lying to myself if I said the guy is not drop dead gorgeous. Everything about him is beautiful, how he moves, how he talks, the way his long lashes moves when he blinks. There is no way he does not know that his features are deadly. "What are you doing here?" He asks as he takes a seat on my right and Matthew takes the seat on my left, caging me between them. "I should be asking you that. I did not know you liked to get into trouble." I say instead and watch with a smirk as a blush coats his cheeks making him look so cute. How can a guy with an adequate amount of muscles and such manly yet beautiful structure look so cute? It is not as if I look that girlish. "Ok I admit it was my fault, no need to call me out on it." Mathew grumbles, his eyes never leaving the screen of his phone. "I went to class late." I answer his previous question. "What happened to you?" A frown finds its way to his face when he looks at my bruised neck. A shiver runs down my spine and I feel butterflies flapping their wings in my stomach at the touch of his cold fingers. "N.. nothing." I stummer out, and a twin blush forms on my cheeks. I will have to deal with that man child on my own. "That does not look like nothing." His brows crease in worry and his eyes give way to how upset he is. "It is really nothing." I say " I do not have your number, can you give it to me?" I ask trying to divert his attention from my neck as I pull my hoodie closer to my neck. He catches on to what I am trying to do but says nothing and stretches his open palm to me. "Give me your phone then." I pull my phone from my hoodie's pocket and hands it over to him. I watch as he types his number on it before handing it back to me. I save his number just as the teacher informs us that time is up and we can go. The three of us leave the class together, and head out. "Are you busy on Friday night?" He asks as if Friday is like a month away instead of just tomorrow. when we are outside. Mark takes the lead and heads towards their car. "Yh..why are you asking?" "Oh...I just wanted us to hangout." "The guys and I will be going to the club. If you like you can join us." Why the f**k am I inviting him. He perks up at my offer. "Are you not too young to go clubbing?" He smirks. "Does it really matter. Are you coming or not?" "Yh. Which club though?" "I do not know yet. I will text it to to you tomorrow." "Okay." We stay in awkward silence for a while with me fidgetting. " So...I will see you tomorrow then?" I say. "Yh. See you tomorrow." He smiles, his eyes shining. Just like last time he leans in and plants a kiss on my cheeks. I do not want to get used to it..
