Finally John grabbed a few napkins and started cleaning up his mess, grumbling the whole time.

I was surprised he had even done it, without much of a fight.

John sent me a glare, but I didn’t stay around long enough to wither in it.

I turned on my heel, and walked away as quickly as I could.

« Sam » I heard Chris yell after me.

I continued to walk through the tables, acting as if I didn’t hear him.

I felt him grasp my arm and I winced as he touched a part that was bruised.

« Sorry » He grimaced as if he saw my wince.

I stepped back, finally noticing how intimidating he looked.

His mouth turned down at the corner as a look of puzzlement overtook his expression.

I looked at anywhere but at him.

« What do you want Chris ? » I finally said trying to make the already akward moment less akward.

He cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck.

The day was full of surprises.

Chris Wayne was nervous !

« I’m sorry about back there, John can be a dick sometimes. But really he’s not such a bad guy… »

There were a few seconds of silence.

« Shouldn’t he be the one apologizing, not you ? » I asked confused.

« Well as future leader of the pack.. »

I stared at him, like he was crazy.

B »Now the jocks are a pack ? That’s a bit self-centered don’t you think ? »

He stared at me for a few minutes his face full of confusion.H

Is stare was unnerving me and I twitched in place.

« Look thanks for the apology, but I can take care of myself. »

I turned and walked out the cafeteria doors, away from him and his ‘pack’

Chris :

During 6th period, a million questions ran through my head.

Why did Sam look scared for a second when I was telling John off ?

Why did she act like she doesnt know about the Moonlight pack ?

I could clearly smell the wolf in her, yet she denied all ties to my pack.

She wasn’t a rouge, I’d be able to smell it.

Something was off here.

« Yo the bell rang » Don slapped me on the back.

I gathered my things and we started walking to 7th period.

« Are you okay you seem off ? » I shook my head and just walked in, leaving Don standing alone.

I didn’t mean to be rude but I was so confused right now.

The first thing I noticed was her distance.

My wolf whined at having her so far.

I stood back, waiting for everyone to enter before I walked in with Don.

I sat down, and looked at the board.

« Class today you will do an experiment, if you are having trouble don’t hesitate to come and ask. »

Mrs. Spencer spoke up.

« Record your observations, and you may begin. The kits are in the back of the room and don’t forget safety. »

I got up and got the goggles as Sam got the kit.

I handed her a pair of goggles, our fingers touching. Our eyes met briefly befor she looked away quickly biting her lip.

I stared at her a moment before spreading out the kit which consisted of a tube rack, two tubes.

Plus a bottle of liquid and two tablets that looked suspiciously like mentos.

« It says pour 5 mL of the clear liquid into a tube. » Sam spoke softly.

I looked over, my lip quirked up when I saw her hair sticking up.

She looked so cute.

« Are you going to pour it or not ? » Her lips pursed in annoyance.

My wolf purred liking her feisty side, me not so much.

I poured the liquid carefully into both tubes.

« Now drop the tablets into the liquid at the same time and record what happens. »

But instead of looking at the experiment I observed her.

Her tongue stuck out of her mouth in concentration, as she jotted things down.

She was so beautiful, how had I never noticed her before ?

« She’s trying to be invisible » My wolf whispered.

But why was the question.

« Why do you keep looking at me ? » Her lips thinned in annoyance.

« Your hairs sticking up » I smirked.

I watched as she patted random spots missing the right area.

I couldn’t resist reaching my hand over and fixing the piece behind her ear.

She flinched away from my touch and I winced, hurt.

Just as I was about to apologize, Mrs.S interrupted me.

« Clean up class and turn in your papers before we discuss this little fun experiment. »

I scribbled a few things down before packing up.

I put up the kit while Sam turned in the papers.

The bell rang soon after and I watched as I she ran out of the room.

Great ! I cursed softly.

Don waited for me as I gathered my things

We were walking in silence when I finally spoke up.

« What do you think about Sam ? » I felt Don stare at me for a couple seconds before replying.

« What do you mean ? » I sighed and opened the front doors leading to the parking lot.

« Nevermind » Don walked in front of me looking my way.

« What’s going on Chris you’ve been acting weird all day ? »

I didnt reply.

« What happened in there Chris ? » He asked
