Chap 9

*Leo*

This is awkward. Today was Jades first day at the new school and I figured it would go well. That's why I took the day to go see my mate instead of being there. However, judging by everyone's actions at the dinner table right now I'm regretting that choice.

The table is completely silent. All that can be heard is the clatter of forks on plates; believe me it's getting annoying.

Trish is glaring at Jordan while skillful eating without looking at her plate.

Jordan is shooting looks at Jade every three seconds and Jade refuses to look up at anyone.

What the hell did I miss? Even Jordan's little sister Angel is quietly pushing her pasta around her dish. This is weird. At this point I'd rather they all just scream at each other

"So, how was school everybody?" I say trying to break the tension and get some conversation going. All the lovely people I'm dining with barely acknowledge I've spoken unless you count the grunt from Trish. Suddenly Jade excuses herself and seconds after my sister and Jordan do the same. Well just me and the kid then. I take a bite of delicious pasta before trying to make conversation

"Okay pretty girl it's just me and you. What's on your mind" I end with a warm smile hoping to at least lighten the kids' mood. Doesn't work. She pushes her plate off the table and the smash echoes around the room. That was unexpected. I watch as she stands on her chair fighting back tears.

"I WILL BE A WOLF! I WILL!" she screams then jumps from her chair and runs up the stairs.

Once again what the hell did I miss today? One thing for sure is my mate isn't going to be happy when I tell her I won't skip again for a while. Clearly things here are already beginning to fall apart.

Looking around at the empty table I reach over grabbing the large pasta bowl and refilling my plate. Nonsense letting good food go to waste. I chow down on my dinner alone praying whatever has gotten into everyone magically disappears by morning.

*Jade*

"Damn it!" I shout to no one in particular as I dive face down on my mattress. That was the most uncomfortable dinner I ever had. Jordan and his damn stares; Trish and her damn suspicion. Ugh what's a girl to do!

When Jordan came to class and sat beside me I almost lost it. The tension in the room was enough to drown a whale. Wait can whales drown? Omg my head is spinning so bad I can't even come up with a good analogy.

A knock on the door briefly stops my pity party. I really don't want to see my girlfriend or my mate right now so I ignore it. But whoever it is doesn't give up that easy instead pound harder.

"Jade its me." He says. I sit up abruptly and jump off my bed. In two seconds I'm swinging the door open and looking into the warm eyes of Leo. Thank goodness it's him because I would not have been able to handle anyone else right now. I grab his arm and yank him into my room slamming the door behind him

"Whoa!" he says catching his balance

"Sorry Leo just didn't want the door open. People might think it's an open invitation or something" I shrug before sitting on my bed Indian style. He watches me for a second then sits next to me

"What happen while I was out today?" he asks getting right to the point. No beating around the bush with this one. Even still I don't want to tell him. Leo is a great guy I know that he'll only try to help but I'm scared he might get mad about my little problem. I bit my lip thinking what I was going to say

"How was Julia? You went to see her today right?" I ask trying to change the subject to his mate. Julia was a sweet shy girl from the pack and a great match for Leo. Where he's hard, she's soft; it's the perfect balance. Plus she was also nice to me unlike many of the other girls from the pack.

"Julia's great. What happened today?" he demanded. Crap my subject change didn't work and from the serious look on his face he wasn't about to drop this. Ugh I knew I should have talked at dinner. Standing I pace in front of my bed with Leo's eyes following my movements

"It's complicated" I finally mutter out. I keep pacing afraid to meet his eyes with my lame response.

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me Jade. I know you'll do the right thing." He tells me now standing in front of me forcing me to look at him.

His eyes are full of understanding and kindness. I engulf him in a hug which he returns with a deep chuckle. Leo was always the understanding one even when he didn't know the full story. He will definitely make a great leader. He walks over to door but I call out and stop him

"Wait Leo, how do you I'll do the right thing?" I ask him genuinely curious. He chuckles again

"You always do Jade. Now if you pass some of that to my knuckle headed sister I'll be even more grateful." And with that he leaves the room, closing the door behind him. I stand there stunned for a moment letting his words sink in.

Leo actually believes in me?! That's huge! I can feel my confidence to handle the situation increase by ten. He's right I can do this. I can live in a house with my girlfriend and my mate while going to school with both and keep them from ripping each other's throat out.

Sounds easy enough right?

Right...???

I groan and collapse on my bed once again. Who am I kidding? This is way over my head. Taking one of my pillows I place it over my face and scream.

*One week later*

Please don't ring, please don't ring, please don't ring. Right on time the bell rings. I groan.

This was my last class without Trish or Jordan and like every day for the last week I pray for it to last longer. It never does. It has been a full seven days since I moved into the Hunter house and I'm surprised my hair hasn't turned gray.

Jordan avoids me and Trish is attached to my hip. She is literally suffocating me. Everywhere I go she's there. She walks me to and from every class. At home she sleeps in my room now or begs me to stay in hers. I love her I do but damn can I just have some alone time.

I slowly gather my books enjoying my last seconds of freedom because I'm sure my overbearing girlfriend is right out there waiting for me

"Hi" I look up at a chubby girl that sits next me. She has a really found face with freckles and her curly hair is a little unruly even though she is still a cute girl if you look past the mother Teresa outfit

"Hi" I say back wondering why on earth she's talking to me. None of the girls here talk to me but plenty of the boys do unfortunately

"My name is Abby and you're Jade right?" she asks sticking her hand out. I look at it for a moment wondering what the catch is but after searching her face I can tell she is being sincere. I've been around enough bitches to know one when I see one. I shake her hand and she beams. Okay take that back she might be a little crazy

"Cool. So would you want to hang out sometime?" she asks hopefully. I pause placing the book in my bag and give her my best why face

"Oh uh I just heard rumors and thought uh maybe we could be friends since I don't have any either I mean uh don't worry about it. That was stupid of me to ask" she rambles with a beet red face. She grabs her bag and attempts to scurry from the room

"Abby wait" I call out before she reaches the door. I meet her at the front of the now empty class "Sorry I forget how to be nice sometimes. But I would love to hang out sometimes" I say nicely. She beams again. Mental note reminder her to stop doing that it's a little creepy.

"Awesome here's my number" she jots some numbers on her notebook and rips it out handing it to me. "Call anytime you're free to hang out" she tells me bubbly as we walk out the class together.

As soon as I'm through the doors a heavy arms slings over my shoulder. I turn my head to a smiling Trish and smile back pecking her lips.

"Missed you babe" says Trish. I fight to not roll my eyes. How can she miss? She's everywhere I go!

"You too" I say back half heartedly

"Who was that?" she nods her head in the direction Abby just scurried off in as we make our way down the halls.

"Oh I think I just made a friend?" I answer with a slight question in my voice. Still surprised the shy girl approached me but I'm not complaining

"Cool." Trish says voice tight. Her grip on my shoulder tightens as well. I look around and see the reason why. Jordan along with a group of his friends are posted on the lockers watching us.

My eyes meet with his and lust overcomes me. He looks so good standing with his arms crossed in dark jeans and a t-shirt but I just want to rip it off and lick his bulging pecks. As if reading my thoughts he smirks at me.

Shit! Control your dirty thoughts Jade.

Trish gives him the middle finger and all his friends give her the middle finger back. Jordan just watches me pass. His eyes travel all over me making me hot with desire. Even after we pass I can feel his eyes still on my body. I begin to think if Trish wasn't holding me I would have jumped him right there in the hall.

This is getting harder by the day. Ugh I'm so screwed...
