Okay, help it is then. I loosened my towel and exposed my back where there were fifteen lashes. The oldest five were from the fifteen minutes of time I wasted asking a question in history class, causing us to take extra notes and have a pop quiz. Even though our teacher mentioned the quiz the day before making it a known’ quiz. There was no negotiating with a fuming Kaley. The newest ten happened at the end of last year, right after the guys got their wolves. I guess that upped their celebrity factor and me asking my brother a question while standing next to the rest of them was too close a proximity.
Apparently it is a punishable crime to be in the personal space of people that are better than you.
If Sierra was surprised or grossed out she didn’t say anything. She was super gentle, applying the cream to every cut on my back. “There are a few here that are older, but the cream might help get rid of some of the scar tissue. I’m sure my parents could give us something more powerful
“No! I am handling it, I promise. You don’t need to tell your parents. Thank you though.”
I didn’t want to be rude, she was just trying to help, but I was not going to give Kaley the idea that I was too weak to take her so-called punishments and if I let Sierra talk to her parents about this, the possibility it gets back to the Alpha and Luna and who knows who else. The less people who know the better it is for me.
“If you say so. Anyway, I need someone to show me around the school, you up for it?”
She changed the subject so abruptly that I almost got whiplash.
“Uh sure, let me get dressed then we can head over and get your schedule.”
She didn’t take the hint to step out and I was forced to awkwardly get dressed under my towel. I’m pretty sure she knows she’s making me uncomfortable.
We headed to the school which was just a block away from the training grounds. I took Sierra to the main office and introduced her to the secretary who got her all set up with her schedule, locker and combination, then we headed out to tour the school since we were still about 45 minutes early. Most of the kids went home after training. I just found hanging with Delta Kyle or in the locker room kept me safe from Kaley for a little while longer. I found out Sierra and I were in a few classes together, she’s a year older than me, like the guys, but I was taking some advanced classes, which in my school just meant the next grade up.’
“So our first two classes are together at least, that will make things way more fun.”
She says with a little happy chirp in her voice. “You’ll have to point out all of the people to know and who to stay away from.
“Uh, I don’t think I’m the person to do that. I tend to keep to myself and blend into the background as much as possible. I am not popular at all and avoid the social scene like it is my job.”
I said as we made it to the first class of the day and walked to the back of the room to take my usual seat. She just huffed in response, but didn’t say anything and followed me back.
The day actually went pretty smoothly, I didn’t even have any run-ins with Kaley and her crew. I wasn’t sure if that was because of the display this morning at training or the new friend I seemed to have acquired. No one talked to me or really looked at me, but no one actively tried to do anything to me either. Either way the break was nice and I found myself smiling as I walked down the hallway to put my things in my locker at the end of the day. Of course good things only last for small moments for me.
“You think you’re so tough, being Delta Kyle’s favorite suck up. I bet that’s not the only thing you suck, it’s the only explanation for how you manage to gain his attention.”
I ignore Kaley even though I am completely disgusted by her insinuation. I take a deep breath and continue shuffling things in my locker, hoping she will get bored and walk away, now that she has thrown her insult. She slams my locker shut. I’m just lucky my reflexes are fast otherwise I would have lost fingers.
But, before she can spit whatever venom she has at me, Sierra walks up. “Hey girl, I am so hungry and you promised me to hang out after school.”
Sierra completely ignores Kaley’s presence and I catch the look of death Kaley is throwing her way. I had to stifle a laugh.
“I almost forgot, sorry, I was trying to make sure I had everything I needed to get my work done this weekend.”
I turn my back on Kaley and we take about two steps before she shouts.
“Hey, new girl, you’ll want to watch who you hang out with. Some people in this school will give you a bad reputation and only cause you problems.”
We both look back at her.
“Thanks for the tip.”
Sierra links her arm into mine and starts to turn us away again.
I hear clicks of heels approaching us. “Listen here, you little Hey guys!”
Kaley’s voice goes from venom to bubble gum in a flash and I notice she is looking over our shoulders.
A general bored mumble of hey’ comes from the group of guys walking our way. Seriously? I just want to melt into a wall.
“Damn, they are even hotter up close.”
Sierra says quietly to me, turning us around to face my brother and his friends as they walk up to us. I just roll my eyes at her. They have never approached me in school before, like ever. So I can only assume they are here for the beautiful brunette friend I have acquired today.
I can’t deny these guys are gorgeous and unfortunately they all know it too. My brother, Mateo, and I look almost identical, with sandy blonde hair and gray blue eyes, getting most of our looks from our mother. The only difference is his build is exactly like my fathers’, wide at the shoulders and narrow at the waist. He keeps his stick straight hair military short on the sides and in the back and longer on top.
It looks like he ran his fingers through it a couple times to make it stick straight up, but somehow the look works for him.
The future Delta, Sam, is Kyle’s son. And he looks like he just stepped out of a Hurley surfing ad with wavy sun-kissed light blonde hair that hangs just below his ears, dark blue eyes and lean muscles.
He’s tall but not as wide set as the other guys, but he is no less ripped and one of the fastest warriors I have ever seen.
