Chapter 67: Book Two- Her Alpha Savior- Chapter Nineteen
Chapter Nineteen
Josephine
When class is finally over, I make my out of the classroom and make my way to my locker and I put in the combination and once it pops open, I begin to pull out the books I need and place back the ones from this last class and pull out the ones I need for the next two classes. When I hear the click clacking sound of heels on tile floor, I roll my eyes because I know what is about to happen and I really don’t have the patience for it this morning.
“What do you think you are doing bitch?”
Tiffany feels the need to continue to make my life hell and I am about to my limit with this shit. She needs to learn her place and…what the heck is going on, I feel the need to stand up to her suddenly. I have never felt this way before.
“What the hell do you want Tiffany? Why can’t you just leave me the hell alone?!”
She seems taken aback by my remark, like she wasn’t expecting me to say anything to her and I too am a bit shocked it’s like it just came out and everyone around us stops to watch what happens next. So, I straighten my spine again and lift an eyebrow to Tiffany asking her to finish what she was going to say. I just need to remember to tread carefully because I know that if I say or do the wrong thing, she will have it out for me, and it won’t be pretty.
“What did you want Tiffany? Why can’t you just leave me alone?”
She looks at me with an evil glint in her eye and I know she is going to have something planned for me in the future, I know I need to watch my back.
“You need to stay away from Max! HE. IS. MINE!”
She looks behind me and gives a sweet smile to someone behind me and I turn to see who it is when I already know but I turn to look to see how far away he is from us, and I see he is still at the far end of the hall with Drew, and I know he can’t hear anything but muffled voices, she is saying all this with a lower tone and with all the other chatter around us on top of the distance between all of us.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about Tiffany. I am just helping him study for English and trying to be polite. He is the Alpha after all.”
“I know what you are doing you little freak! Stay away from him or you are going to regret it.”
I can’t help but let a little growl come from my chest and she seems a bit shocked too, but I can’t let her push me around anymore.
‘Don’t let her push you around.’
I turn to find out who said that, and then I realize know there is nobody else around, that’s when it clicks that it is the first time I have heard from my wolf in a while, she usually only talks to me when it is something important.
“Whatever Tiffany. I have better things to do than argue with you about Max. I don’t do anything special; he is the one that comes to me. If your so worried about how Max spends his free time maybe you should take it up with him.”
“You little Bitch! You better watch your back!”
She turns to walk away, and I can’t help but release the breath that I was holding.
‘You did good.’
I try not to acknowledge her in public because people aren’t supposed to know about her. I give a quick mental thanks and when I turn to my left I see Sarah walking my way and I meet up with her halfway.
“Hey girl, you ready for class?”
“Yea, what was that about I saw Tiffany harassing you again.”
“Just the same bullshit on a different day.”
“Seriously? If she has a problem with the way max spend his time maybe she should take it up with him.”
“That’s what I told her. She is just threatened by me and wants to try and harass me.”
“Dang girl! Are you finally deciding to stand up for yourself now?”
“I guess I am. It feels good to stand up for myself, I’m going to have to do it more often. Maybe it’s all the time I spend with Max studying, maybe his Alpha aura is rubbing off on me.”
“Or maybe your wolf is finally giving you the courage you need.”
“Shhh! People aren’t supposed to know. Would you keep it down?”
“Sorry”
She lets a small giggle slip free and gives me a side hug and gently guides me to class. We make our way to class and sit down next to each other and pull our notebooks from our bags and get ready for the teacher to come in and begin the lesson.
When lunch finally rolls around, we make our way to the lunchroom to get some food and when we gather up our burgers, fries and a chocolate shake for each of us, we make our way to our table and sit down to begin eating. Then out of nowhere I hear a chair next to me scraping along the floor and when I look over, I see Max sitting down next to me and I look to Sarah and she raises an eyebrow at me and then I see Drew sit next to her and I can’t help but smile, then she too rolls her eyes and gives him a kind smile.
We all sit and chat about school and then Sarah asks me what I want to do for my birthday in a couple days and she knows what my home life is like, and I tell her that I just want to stay home and do nothing. I already know Sarah isn’t going to have any of that, so she and Drew and Max all plan to have me over to the packhouse and make it a movie marathon night. I know it is Max’s way of spending more time with me. He thinks he is smart by trying to use an excuse of asking me to help him with studying, but I won’t let him know that I know he is just playing me. If I had a problem hanging out with him then I would have called him out on his bullshit excuse a long time ago, but since I don’t mind hanging out with him. I will let it slide, but I will tell him eventually. I like the way things are going for now.
When lunch is over and we make our way out of the lunchroom and to our lockers, we all separate for a brief time to gather what we need for our next class.
When I make it to my locker and I pop open the door a small folded up piece of paper falls to the ground and I bend to pick it up and I look around to see if anyone notices, but I don’t see anyone, so I open the note and when I read what is inside, I can’t help but smile.
I have something special planned for you on your special day. Meet me on the football field tonight at 9:00pm. Don’t be late, I want to give it to you early since we have other plans on your birthday. Don’t tell anyone else, it’s going to be a surprise.
\-Max
I can’t believe Max did this. I can’t wait to see what he has planned for me. This is going to be a great start to my birthday weekend. I wonder what he has for me. I tuck the note into my backpack and quickly gather the rest of my books and close my locker. When I turn to walk away, I see Sarah making her way back to me.
“What has you all smiles today?”
“Oh, uh nothing. Just thinking about what I need to do tonight.”
“And what is that?”
“I can’t say. It’s supposed to be a surprise.”
“Girl you know me, I won’t blow anything. Your secret is safe with me.”
I debate on whether I should show her the note or not. But then I realize she is my best friend and I know she would keep the secret too, so I pull the note from my bag and show it to her, she reads over the note and gives a me quizzical look and then back to the note then back to me.
“What?”
She takes a deep breath and looks at me with concern written all over her face.
“Are you sure this note is from Max?”
“Why wouldn’t it be. It’s clearly signed by Max. What are you thinking?”
“I don’t know girl; it just seems fishy to me. Max has been with us all of lunch when would he have time to slip this into your locker.”
“He hasn’t been with us the entire time of all day. He could have slipped out for a moment during a class, or he could have done it right before he came to sit with us at lunch.”
“I guess you’re right, I just worry, with everything that has been going on lately. And I don’t want anything to happen.”
“Girl. Its Max, what harm could he do. He is going to be Alpha one day and it’s against his morals to do anything bad. I have a good feeling about him, and I just feel like things are going to get better.”
“I hope your right girl. I just want the best for you.”
She says this as she grabs me and gives me the tightest hug of all time. I don’t know what I would do without her. She truly is my best friend.
