Chapter 61: Book Two- Her Alpha Savior- Chapter Thirteen
Chapter Thirteen
Josephine
I didn’t want to give my sister any reason to humiliate me anymore than she already has, and I know she most likely will. I know she will find some way to make my day horrible today. I make my way to my locker and switch out all my books and when I am switching everything out, I hear someone come up behind me and I already know by the chills down my spine that it isn’t going to be good.
“I don’t know what you think you’re doing but you better keep away from Max. He Is mine, and I will not have some…wolfless, freak, who dresses like a whore coming around taking my spot next to Max. You better stay away from him, or you will regret it.”
When I turn around, I already knew it would be Tiffany and her groupies. I don’t know what she is talking about, me coming in and taking her place beside Max? What on earth is she talking about? Max would never go for someone like me anyway, like she said I have ‘no wolf’. Why would max want to be with someone like me.
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about Tiffany. I’m not purposely trying to be around Max-”
But before I can finish telling her anything I feel ice cold liquid dripping down my head and all over my clothes. And when I realize what happen I hear nothing but laughing and whispers about how Tiffany dumped her iced coffee all over me…again. Great, I’ve only been here for ten minutes, and I have already had coffee dumped on me twice this morning. What else could possibly go wrong?
“Like I said FREAK, stay away from Max, or this drink will be the least of your worries.”
She turns to walk away, and I quickly shut my locker and make my way to the girl’s locker room to quickly shower and change into my gym clothes, so much for looking cute today and hoping Max would notice me.
What am I thinking, he would never notice me anyway, he goes for the beautiful girls like Tiffany or Heather. He would go for the ones with the long blonde hair and the tall figures with the perfect bodies. You know the ones that don’t have the extra fat around their ass or chest. What guy would want to even be seen with someone like me.
Just as I am stepping out of the shower with a towel wrapped around me, I hear the doors to the locker room close and I try to hide behind the wall, I don’t want another run in with Tiffany or any of her friends.
“It’s okay Jo, you can come out it’s just me, I came to check on you when I heard what happen.”
Thank goodness I still have Sarah; I don’t know what I would do without her. She truly is my best friend. She has always had my back no matter what goes on, even when life is going hard at home, she will let me stay with her. When things get too tough at school, she is there to help me through it.
“Hey Sarah, I’m at my locker, I had to grab a quick shower, I was all sticky. So much for looking cute today.”
“Girl, you always look cute, you could make a burlap sack look good.”
She always knows how to make me feel better. Even if she is lying. I appreciate the comment none the less.
“Thanks Sarah, but I think you may need to get your eyes checked.”
We have a laugh while I throw on my gym clothes and make our way back out to the main hall to grab our books for our next class. After this morning I didn’t feel like sitting in class, especially when I reeked of coffee. But I just wish I would have been able to at least show max my dress this morning. But at least I am comfortable, gym clothes are comfy too, I’m glad for that at least.
When we make it our lockers and switch out all our books, we make our way to class and take our seats waiting for the teacher to come in and begin the lesson, but before the teacher comes in, I look up and meet a set of eyes that can capture any soul. They are a deep blue, but not so deep they look black, but that deep blue that would remind you of the deepest part of the ocean. And I can’t help but smile, when I see the owner of said eyes looking back at me with a smirk as well.
He makes his way over to Sarah and me and takes a seat right next to me and when I look over, he full on smiles.
“Hey Josie, how are you doing today?”
I look at him and can’t keep the blush away.
“Hi Max, I’m doing okay. Thanks for letting me stay at the packhouse last night.”
He gives me a smile right back and looks my body up and down and if I didn’t know any better I would think he was checking me out. But I must be wrong. Why would Max, -Future Alpha- look at me that way.
“What’s with the gym clothes? What happen to your dress this morning? Not that you don’t look cute in anything you wear but the dress was my favorite.”
What on earth? He saw me in my dress. I didn’t think he would have seen me that soon. I need to think of something that will keep Tiffany out of trouble, if he finds out she dumped her coffee on me, she will come after me.
“Don’t think of lying to me Jo, I already know what really happen, so why don’t you tell me your side of things.”
Crap. Crap. Crap.
“Umm, Well see I think what happen is that Tiffany may have accidently spilled her coffee on me, and I just had to change and get to coffee smell off of me.”
“Oh really? Is that what really happened? Or do you want to try tell me the truth this time?”
What do I do, I can’t have Tiffany coming after me. She would make things so much worse, and I can’t handle that right now.
“Yes. That is what happen.”
I need to stick to my story.
“Okay Jo, if that is the story you want to stick to.”
“Max, please. Just leave it alone, when you come to me like this and try talking to me, it’s just drawing more attention to me and I can’t handle that right now, so please. Just leave it and me alone. I don’t need anyone to protect me and fight my battles for me. Please.”
I look over to Sarah and I give her a look that says I will see her later and I get up from my seat and walk out of the room right as the teacher comes in.
“Uh, Miss Adams where do you think you’re going?”
“Sorry Mr. Summers but I’m not feeling well, I need to head home.”
And with that I don’t even look back and I continue my way to the main hall, and out the main doors attached to the main building and to the parking lot and make my way home. The walk could be good for me. It could help me clear my head and maybe get some clarity on this whole Max issue.
Why am I suddenly feeling drawn to him, why do I suddenly care what he thinks about what I look like or what I act like, why should I care?
He is the Alpha for crying out loud, he has a mate out there somewhere. I can’t be getting a caught up in this mess and I certainly can’t be drawing attention myself. Tiffany and Heather would have a fit if Max and I started getting closer than we are now. I’m just me, I’m nobody special.
“Yes, you are. And you will find out soon enough. We will have the answers we seek.”
“What do you mean. I’m just an ordinary she-wolf.”
“You will find out the answers to your questions soon enough. Just be patient Jo.”
My wolf couldn’t be any more cryptic. I hate that I can’t tell anyone, and I hate that I have to let people just push me around and I hate that I have to be here, when I would rather be anywhere else.
I just need this next week to go by quicker so I can get the heck out of town and away from the rest of the pack. Maybe I can move to another town somewhere and live like a human for a while and find a nice human boy to date and share a life with. I know I am a she-wolf and I know I wouldn’t be able to tell any humans about what I really am, but anything would be better than the way I am treated now and the way that my life is right now.
Living like a normal human sounds nice. I wouldn’t have to worry about my sister, or my parents or stupid pack rules and regulations. I could do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted, and I could just be myself. I would be a rogue, but at least I wouldn’t have to follow any stupid pack rules.
Once I make it home, I head to my room and drop everything on the floor by my desk and climb in bed with my favorite bunny I’ve had since I was little, and I find myself drifting off to a life outside of the pack and living on my own and making a life for myself and a regular human girl with a regular human boyfriend and a human job. Its looks like it could be nice. I can’t wait to experience it.
