*Tobias POV*
I walk into class and look around. Willow is sitting down scribbling notes and looking busy. I sit as far away from her as I can. Why does she seriously have to be in the same class as me this is utter torture. I just watch her, running her hand through her hair. I can almost feel it on my face again, feel the softness surrounding me, feeling her scent engulfing me.
Last night will never happen again. I have to be strong and try and work out a way to reject her. I don't need a mate, I don't need a luna and I definitely don’t need a human. I am doing just fine the way I am.
I manage to get through school, get home, train, do work and then back up to bed. I toss and turn for 2 hours before I decide to go for a run. I run straight to the dorms. I walk up the stairs and stand at her door. I hear something. I listen closer. There are definitely s*x noises coming from behind the door. I have to control myself from going in there and beating the hell out of whoever decided to stick their d**k in my mate. I growl and force my way away from the door, not before punching a hole in the wall as I stalk away.
*Willow POV*
I take out my earphones when I hear a big smash. I run to the door to see what is happening. No one is there. There is just a big hole in the wall next to my door. Bits of plaster littered all over the floor. I turn back into my room. My room mate hasn't seemed to notice since she is still busy fornicating. Seriously I wonder if she ever gets tired. I lay back down in bed and out a pillow over my head and try and lull myself back to sleep.
I wake up in the morning and head down to classes. I slept terribly last night. I feel awful. I walk in and sit down. The lecturer speaks.
"Today I will be splitting you up to be with your study partners, alphabetical order"
He starts listing off names. Finally I hear mine.
"Willow Harvey and Tobias Hunter"
I look around and try and work out who that is. A hand sticks up in the back.
"Yes Tobias?"
"Can I have another partner?"
"Is there a problem?"
"Yes I want another partner"
"Well no, the partners are what they are"
I look up and see the blonde haired jerk glaring at me. His dark eyes burning through me. It actually hurts me. What the hell? Why does he dislike me so much? Seriously we have said like 3 sentences to each other. I turn back to the front. I feel tears stinging my eyes. I don't know why I am so worried. I mean it's not like everyone always liked me but I have never had someone despise me so much for absolutely no reason. As soon as class finishes I gather my things and rush out of the room. I head straight upstairs and throw myself on my bed. I am not a crier but I find myself crying heavily. I think it must be the exhaustion. I look at my phone. I have a couple of texts from Sebastian. I open them.
Are you free for lunch?
I don't want to wait till Friday to see you again.
I smile and wipe my eyes.
Yes I am free
He answers straight back.
Meet you at 12:30 same spot.
I get myself out of bed and look in the mirror. I wipe my eyes and put on more makeup this time trying to make myself look alive. I sit down and do some study before lunch hits and I head back down. I smile when I see him.
"You okay? You look upset"
"I am fine, there is just a guy in my class being a jackass"
"Do you want me to sort him out?"
I laugh.
"Sort him out?"
"Yeah I will beat him up for you"
I laugh again and he wraps an arm around my shoulder.
"You are going to beat him up? No offense but you seem way too nice to beat anyone up"
"You might be surprised"
"Why do you have a secret dark side?"
"Would that that make me more mysterious?"
"Why do you need to be more mysterious?"
"You said I am too nice."
I stop him and turn to him. I put a hand on his chest.
"Did I say that being too nice was a bad thing?"
"Don't girls like bad boys?"
"I hardly think you would have any trouble getting girls"
He raises his eyebrows at me.
"Why would you say that?"
"Well it's just that you are…..ummm…..ahhh"
"What Willow?"
"You are incredibly handsome"
My face has heated to about a million degrees. He runs his thumb down my cheek.
"You think I am handsome?"
He actually sounds surprised, does he look in the mirror? Does he notice the eyes on him? There is literally drool coming from the girls that are looking at him.
*Sebastian POV*
"You think I am handsome?"
All I can look at is her lips. My thumb is on her soft supple skin, caressing her cheek.
"I am pretty sure every girl here thinks your handsome"
"I don't care about every girl thinks, do you think I am?"
"Of course I do"
I look into her eyes. I lean in and kiss her softly. Her lips are just as soft as I imagined. She kisses me back. I put a hand on her hip. The other hand goes behind her neck. She tastes amazing. If we weren't in public I would by pressing my body down on her. We kiss for a short time before she breaks away from me. Our kiss so sweet and innocent. I decide not to go in too strong for the first kiss, she seems pretty innocent and I don’t want to scare her off. I have never kissed a human before, in our world a simple kiss would end up in bed very quickly, but I am not like that and she is certainly not like that.
She is blushing hard. I run a hand over her cheek as a stare into her eyes smiling, she is as cute as a button. I say.
"Come on I promised you lunch, what are you feeling like eating today?"
"You choose"
"Is there anything you don't like?"
"Nope"
I pull her closer to me and we start walking. Her little body under my arm one of her arm around my waist and one hand on my chest. My heart feels so light, the taste of her lips still lingering on mine.
*Willow POV*
It is Friday and I am just waiting to go to this party, from something that I was reluctant to attend, now I have been counting down the hours. After the kiss with Sebastian, he calls me and he texts all the time. He is so sweet. I just stand in front of the mirror staring at myself, thoroughly unhappy with what I see. There is no way I look good enough to be with someone like him. I scrounge through my wardrobe again, but to no avail I have nothing, my parents left me nothing, I am only able to attend school through the scholarship, I have no money for clothing, so trying to look impressive is just a pipe dream. My roommate walks in the room. It is the first time I have actually seen her without a guy or even fully clothed. I turn to her.
"Hi my name is Willow"
"Aria"
"Nice to meet you"
"Whatever, where are you going?"
"Umm the freshman party"
"Is that tonight? I am coming with you"
"Ohh okay"
She looks me up and down.
"Is that what your wearing?"
"Well yes I don't have much"
She walks to her robe and shuffles through. She throws me an unopened parcel.
"Mum always sends me stupid dresses in the hopes I will dress more as she say 'lady like'"
I look at the package in my hands and I open it. I pull out a dress. It is beautiful and still has tags on.
"Are you sure I can wear this?"
"You can wear it, burn it, use it as a dish rag for all I care I am never going to wear it."
"Thank you so much"
She shrugs her shoulders without paying much attention, but I hug the dress to my chest feeling happy.
"It's nothing"
She starts going through her wardrobe for her outfit. I get out of the clothes I am in and slip on the dress. I run my hands down it. It looks great and fits perfectly. I brush my hair and put on some make up. I turn and my roommate is looking at me.
"That look really great on you"
"Do you want it back?"
She laughs.
"Still not my style, here help me zip this up"
I walk to her and help her zip up her dress. I pay attention to her as she turns around. She is quite a pretty girl. Short dark hair. Blue eyes. Killer body. The dress that I just put on her makes her look like s*x walking. It is hot but I don't know how she isn't embarrassed. It is a tiny little boob tube dress. Leaving very little to the imagination, but maybe that is the point.
"Well let me put on my makeup and we will go"
"The party doesn't start for 1.5 hours."
"The best part of the whole experience is the pre party"
"Umm okay yep."
"Why do you always sound so nervous"
"I just haven't been to many parties"
"Why, you are smoking hot"
I laugh.
"I really don't think so"
"Whatever you want to think"
She shrugs and starts applying makeup.
"Okay let's go"
