Chapter 6Stacey's POV
"Grrrrrr"
"Grrrrrr"
I groan and turn... I cover my ears with my pillow and went back to sleep again.
But that annoying sound didn't stop, it came again and even louder than before.
I reached for the source of the noise and angrily turns it off... I sat up and yawned sleepily, I stretched groggily with a small satisfied smile.
Coming here might really be a good thing, I slept so soundly last night and I didn't get any nightmares... In fact, this is the first time I've actually slept without having nightmares since that incident.
"Stacey, Come down for breakfast or you'll be late for school" Josh's voice echoes from the dinning table.
My eyes involuntarily move to my alarm clock.. a loud gasp left my mouth and I quickly jumped off my bed.
It's 7:30am already.
"I'm so gonna be late for my first day" I panicked mentally.
I dashed into my bathroom... God! I can't believe I overslept.. it hasn't happened before.
I didn't spend much time in the bathroom, soon I'm standing in front of my full length mirror.. viewing my outfit.
A blue short skirt ..a white crop top..a pair of white sneakers...I let my hair down.
I carried my bag and rushed out...I head for the door and just as I reached for the handle, a hand stops me.
"Where are you going without having your breakfast, Miss Rivera?" Josh asked.
I turn to him, I reached for my phone inside my back and shows him the time.
"It's 8:05am...I'm late, I can't have breakfast"
He shakes his head and drags me towards the dinning table.
"Today's your first day..the teachers won't blame you for coming a few minutes after 8!" He said.
"But...."
"I'm not gonna argue with you..have your breakfast!" He said.
I open my mouth to speak again but he sent me a glare that says shut up!
"Let me ask you..do you know the way to your school?"
I shake my head.
"But I heard there's only one highschool in this town..it can't be hard to find it"
"Eat your food, Dylan will drop you off!" He said.
He looked towards Dylan's room.
"Dylan! I'm leaving! Don't forget to drop Stacey off at school"
"Yeah, yeah!" Dylan replies from his room.
Josh dropped his car key and carried his briefcase...he leans down and kisses my forehead.
"Be good and don't get in trouble with anyone at school" he tells me.
I nod and he quickly left... Dylan walks out of his room fully dressed in suit...I frown.
"What's up with you?"
He smiles and did a pose.
"I need to look hot if I wanna get some highschool girlfriends!" He said.
"Eww! Gross!"
He sits on the chair next to me..he takes a slice of bread from my plate and eats it.
He reaches for my glass of milk but I quickly grabs it before he could...I glare at him.
"I won't let you put your gross mouth in my cup!"
He rolls his eyes.
"Whatever!" He takes the car key Josh dropped on the table. "Hurry up.. you're late, lazybones!"
I quickly gulp down my milk and got up.. Dylan carries the plate and glass to the kitchen before we head out.
Dylan stops in front of a very big gate..with ASHVILLE HIGH SCHOOL written on it in bold letters.
I peep inside the school premises... students are rushing off to their classes...though, some are standing in groups of twos and threes discussing.
"We're here!" Dylan said.
I nod...another new school... I'll be the new student again.
"Stacey, should I walk you in?" He asked.
"No!" I said quickly. "I'll go on my own!"
He nods.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine" he told me.
He leans forward and pulls me in for a brief hug... He kissed my forehead.
"I'll come back later to pick you up!"
"Ok... I'm gonna go now!"
I sighed deeply and steps out... I wave him and waited for him to drive off.
I turned and looked at the gate again... It seems like it's even higher than when I'm in the car.
Taking a deep breath I walk into the premises. I will first go to the principal's office and get my timetable... but I suddenly realize I don't know where the principal's office is.
"Whatever! I'll just ask anyone I find approachable"
Ok...I know I'm a new student and some people are gonna notice it.
What I didn't expect is everyone...I mean, everyone in school noticed I'm new.
Anyone I walk past must turn back and talk in hushed voices...some of them even pass me nasty looks...like I'm a carrier of a strange disease.
"I guess I'm gonna find the principal's office by myself"
Just then I heard the bell rings and students start rushing to class...soon, the hallways are empty and I'm the only student walking outside.
I felt a tap on my shoulder...I turned and saw it's that girl from the supermarket... Jessica.
"Ah! I knew it's you!" She smiled.
I breathe in relief.
"Finally, someone I'm familiar with!" I muttered under my breath but strangely, she heard me.
She laughs.
"Don't worry..no one will give you a hard time" she said.
I shake my head.
"Really? I doubt that..you don't know the glares I've been trying to survive since I came in"
"That's all they can do..our Alpha warned us not to bully you!"
I narrowed my eyes.
"Alpha?"
"Oh!" She slaps her mouth like she just said something wrong... something she shouldn't have said.
She laughs lightly.
"I mean..our president..he warned everyone last night not to bully you!" She explained.
"Oh...he knows me?"
She nods. Their president knows me?
"But I don't know him!"
Just then someone bumps my shoulder...if Jessica wasn't holding me, I'd have fall flat on my face.
"Get out of the way! Filthy human!"
Filthy human? I looked at the trouble maker and realized it's that rude girl from yesterday.. Jessica's sister.
"Juliet!" Jessica scolds her.
"What? She's just a weak dirty human!"
Why is she always referring to me as human?! Isn't she one?
"Juliet, remember the alpha's warning!" Jessica told her.
"I don't care!" She growls at Jessica and marches off.
Jessica turns to me..with a small apologetic smile.
"I'm really sorry about my sister's behavior...I don't know what is wrong with her lately"
I shake my head and smiled at her.
"I'm fine but are you really sure she's your sister?"
"Yeah...?"
"Hmm... it's hard to believe, your personalities are so different!" I said.
"A lot of people say that"
We both chuckles lightly...I guess, Jessica and I will be friends...I kinda like her!
"So... What do you have this morning? Where's your timetable?"
"I haven't got it... I was kinda looking for the principal's office"
"Come on... I'll take you there!" She said and pulls me down the hallway.
Writer's POV
"ASHVILLE HIGH SCHOOL" Karl screams as he parks his motorcycle next to Raymond's car.
Raymond takes off his helmet and got off his motorcycle... Henry and Jerome did the same thing.
"I can't believe we're back!" Henry said.
"Yeah! It feels like a dream!" Karl said.
Ray closes his eyes and inhale deeply... then his eyes snaps open at once as he feels his wolf jumping in excitement.
"Can you guys perceive that?" He asked his friends.
They paused and sniffs the air and shakes their heads.
"No.. what are you perceiving?" Jerome asked.
Ray sniffs the air again... He closes his eyes momentarily to savour the sweet aroma he's perceiving.
"It smells like vanilla and strawberry mixed together!" He said.
Henry, Karl and Jerome sniff the air again... They frown as they couldn't perceive anything like vanilla or strawberry.
"Ray.. I only perceive Juliet nearby!" Karl said.
"Wait... that's his mate's scent!" Jerome exclaims.
Their eyes grows wide... Raymond's eyes still shut as he smiles.. inhaling more of the scent.
"No! No! Don't tell me Juliet is our future luna queen!" Karl said disgustingly.
"The pack slut is your mate?!" Henry exclaimed.
This snaps Ray out of the daze he was in... His gaze harden.
Right at that moment, Juliet comes in and throws herself at Raymond.
"Raymond, You're really back!" She said flirtatiously.
Ray sniffs her and frown... He grabs her hands and pushed her off him... she falls on her butts.
"Raymond.... "
"It's alpha prince to you!" Ray cuts her off instantly.
Karl, Jerome and Henry stares at Raymond in confusion... Ray clenched his jaw and balled his fist... He glares at Juliet as though her touch just burned him.
"Raymond.. why did you push her off.. she's your.... "
"She's not her!" He cuts Henry off.
"Huh?"
"She's not my mate! I gotta go find my mate!" Ray said and rushes off.. following the scent.
Juliet huffed and angrily got up.. she dust off her pants.
"How can I not be his mate! I'm his mate!" She grumbles.
Karl, Jerome and Henry shakes their heads and rushes after Raymond... But not before Karl whispers.
"Thank the moon goddess.. I thought a slut is our future luna queen!"
Juliet heard it and stomps her feet.
"I dare you to say that again!"
No one replied her as they've already left... She scoffs and marches towards the woods.
