➸ CHAPTER 6

Kendra Martinez's POV

♪ Hearts on fire tonight, feel my bones ignite. Feels like- ♪

I groaned. I didn't want to wake up from my blissful sleep yet. But I did. I woke up to my phone ringing, and it was playing the song A love like war by All Time Low.

"Hello?" My voice was still groggy from my slumber.

"Bitch! Get your arse out of bed and take a damn shower. Today, you're going to show Archer all you've got. No worries, Ronnie and I will teach you how to make him jealous!" Abby shouted through the phone. I flinched from the loudness of her voice. I felt like my ears were going to bleed yet it was still very early in the morning.

"Yeah sure, give me a few minutes to prepare okay?" I sighed. How am I going to do this?

"Okay, just make sure to wear the new clothes that we bought. You look smokin' when wearing them." With that, she hung up on me. Okay, miss bossy pants!

I got off of my bed and stretched. Sighing, today is a new day like a new look is new life to me. I decided that I wanted to go to school now. Being absent would surely get me in trouble anyway.

I walked to the toilet and took a quick shower. It's a great way to freshen up and start the day. After that, I went to my walk-in-closet to change into a plain white shirt, and tucked it in my black leather shorts. I continued to pair it with a few cuffs and my black combat boots. I also removed my glasses because I didn't want to disappoint Abby. I could still clearly see without them for I do have clear werewolf vision. Instead, I threw in the sunglasses that Abby and I bought at Chanel. Feeling my confidence rise, I definitely look bad ass and I felt great about it.

I was never a dressed to impressed but I guess today is the day I take a risk in doing so. Part one of my revenge plan is to make Archer see that I am different from the girls he fucks. I am better and classier than those girls.

As I strut down the kitchen, I saw my father drinking coffee at his usual spot and my brother eating a huge stack of pancakes. What a pig. "What are you wearing?" My brother asked. He looked shocked and confused if that was possible.

"Good morning." I said sarcastically and continued "Clothes. What else?" I replied. He didn't even greet me and say good morning. I rolled my eyes. "That's not it; the skirt is so damn short for your legs! Go back to your room and change now!" My brother exclaimed. I sighed. Men and their over-protectiveness. I pity my brother's future mate. He's a handful.

"Kenny, I'm not going to change. As you can see, I'm wearing shorts, okay. It's not even that short! Is there something wrong with your vision?" I asked. My short does have a decent amount of length to it.

"The reason why I'm dressing up nicely today is because I want to show Archer that I'm fine without him." I continue to say, "These clothes make me confident so please don't ruin this day for me." I softly say. I really hope he understands. I am doing it for me and my wolf. We've suffered too much and wearing these clothes makes us feel very feminine.

With a defeated sigh, he spoke. "Okay, fine as long as you're happy then I am okay with that." Kenny then went back to eating his meal. I then turned to my parents. They just looked amused of Kenneth and I's conversation.

"Good morning awe-inspiring parents! Please do not finish all the food because, I, your daughter, will be hungry." I pouted at them. I see them both enjoying their food and I still don't have any. They just chuckled and my mother replied, "No worries, darling. I still have some left for the birthday girl!" My mother then looked very excited.

"Mom! My birthday is tomorrow not today!" I said exasperated. Shouldn't I be more excited than them? Well, I am not too thrilled for my birthday for I am just reminded that I get old and age. Though, my features won't because of werewolf genes.

"I know that! We just wanted to say happy birthday in advance!" She said with a huge smile on her face. "Yes, and we wanted to give you an advance birthday present as well." My father joined in the conversation and threw me a small box covered in velvet. What's this? And why was it so small? I felt like it was trinkets or charms inside.

I looked at my father and he was beaming brightly as Kenneth was. Why do they look like that?  Looking at them suspiciously, I opened the small velvet box and I found a key.

A key?

No, it was keys!

Whoa- wait, it can't be. I watched my father again and he was proudly nodding his head. Smiling, I bolted out of the kitchen and ran straight to the garage.

Opening the door, I was surprised.

There, I saw my dream car and motorcycle.

A custom made Ducati Diavel motorcycle and a blood red McLaren 12c spider. It was in the colour red and black or what I call breds. I touched it. Whoa! It was so even and smooth. I then heard shuffling noises, I look back to see my family. I ran up to them and gave them a huge embrace and kissed their cheeks.

"I never thought my daughter could be a fan of cars and motorcycles." My dad smiled sheepishly. Hey, don't judge me!

"How do you exactly know that I liked these models?" I asked. My eyes pricked with tears. It was so exact that they truly got what I want for my birthday.

"Well, I looked through your things before and saw pictures of these cars so I told mom and dad to buy you this for your birthday." Kenneth said with a smirk.

"Thank you, Kenneth! Wait- you went through my stuff?" I spoke while giving him my dagger eyes. He gulped and took a step back. I had to stifle a giggle because his reaction was so damn funny. Even as a future Beta, he looked afraid. His future mate will truly have him wrapped around his or her finger.

"Just kidding! Thanks Kenneth! You're literally the best brother ever!" I thanked and tackled him. His face visibly relaxed when he realized I wasn't angry. I turned to look at my parents.

"Why did you get me these? They are very expensive!" I exclaimed. It was true! Just the McLaren itself costs a fortune. I could already be for my college tuition.

"It's for you! Besides, I only want best for my baby girl." My mother spoke.

"Mom? Dad? May I please use the motorcycle to school?" I asked whilst giving them my puppy eyes. They sighed. "Yes dear, just make sure to be safe. Okay?" My dad said.

"Damn, you're not riding with me anymore." Kenny pouted. He looked absolutely weird doing that. Next time brother, next time. I went near the motorcycle and straddled it. I put on my helmet because everyone knows safety first. I could smell the scent of new engine and it feels great.

Ducati, I'm so happy that you're mine.

At least motorcycles don't reject you.

I continue to insert the key and started the engine. I was greeted with the booming vroom-vroom sound. Whoa, I must say that it looks, sounds, and feels powerful.

"Go now! I'll just catch up to you in school, later" My brother smiled encouragingly. With that, I grabbed my backpack and drove off.

~*~

Going to the hellhole that I call school, I did a lot of stunts. I've wanted to do this for a long time, not to show off but to practice it. Why? I was inspired. I've been watching so many stunt videos that I wanted to do the same thing when I was gifted with this ride.

Nearing my school, a ton of people was practically staring at me and my Ducati. Who knew? Even my mate, Archer, who was currently being flirted and surrounded by a lot of girls.

Oh right, a rake. Why are the others gawking anyway? They look like a fish to be honest. It was also pissing me off. It's not like I'm the first girl they saw riding a motorcycle right?

As I parked, I removed my helmet and ruffled my hair a bit because that thing is set to ruin my locks. I spot Ronnie an Abby while fixing myself so I walked over to my friends at the entrance. Like the good friends they were, they have been waiting for my arrival.

I then heard a familiar growl. I was certain that it was my mate, Archer. I just do not know if it was directed to me or not.

My wolf yipped for the fact that she thinks that our mate was 'jealous'. Please, I doubt he even cares.

I was greeted first by Ronnie. "Damn girl! Nice ride. You've got the all the boys drooling over you. Even Mr. Alpha over there." She said cheekily. What? No way! I looked at Archer and he was indeed gaping at me. I was the first who broke our gaze for it was too awkward.

Sighing, I turned to Abby. "I love your new look babe. If I wasn't straight, I'd hit on you too." Abby said winking causing me to blush in embarrassment. "Er, thanks guys but how am I going to take the real plan into action?" I asked them. I am not good with these kind of stuff.

"Girl! You just got to flirt with guys over there." Abby pointed out. "It's not really that hard anymore because almost all of the guys here want a piece of you." Ronnie stated at me. How weird and awkward could this day get?

Okay, I could do this. I think.

"But who?" I sighed. "What about Scott Anderson over there? Just flirt with him and the other guys in the group. Okay?" Ronnie informed me. What? I don't want to look like a thot in front of people. Abby noticed my expression and shook her head disaprovingly. "You will do it okay?" She demanded.

I mumbled an okay and strut with them to the lockers. Not to be arrogant or anything but really, guys can't stop staring. It's getting really disturbing and other girls, most likely Brandi Hayes' group are throwing us death glares. Like seriously, bitch please.

What is this? Glare day today?

I even saw Archer glaring at the guys. I mean, for rejecting me, he sure is possessive. I smirked. I grabbed my books from my locker and walked to class with the girls. I knew that he will follow me because we do have the same class.

~*~

In class, I sat beside a guy who had blonde hair and an Anthem Made t-shirt.

"Hello, I'm Kendra." I smiled. I can feel the gaze of my mate.

"Oh, I know. My name is Reese by the way. It's a pleasure to meet you." He replied back with a British accent. I could listen to him talk forever.

"Holy shit! Nice accent. If I had one, I would probably never shut up." I smiled at him. It's true! We only get a few British students in our place.

"Thank you, love." He said. I guess it's time to put the plan into action. I thought of making Archer jealous by flirting with Reese. Like touching his hair, his arms and stuff but in the end, we were like best friends. I never thought that I would have a male friend who didn't think of me as a total loser.

We talked a lot about rock or post hard-core bands. He said he was going to give me his extra Bring Me The Horizon album. I was so damn pleased because they were practically my favourite band. I got excited that I hugged him.

"Oh My Gosh! Really? I love you man." I didn't know what I said until I heard a growl emitting from my mate. What the hell? I probably looked confused right now.

I looked back at him to see that he was furious. What the- It was so obvious but he had no right to be jealous! I began to feel uncomfortable with him glaring at my direction.

When class was dismissed, I grabbed my things and paced out of class. Ronnie and Abby had to stay back because they had a project to make. While I was walking down the hall, a lot of guys walked up to me and asked me out on an actual date but I just smiled politely at them and told them 'maybe next time'. Why? Those bastards did not even show interest, much less respect to notice me, when I had a lot of physical flaws.

Suddenly, someone grabbed my arm and yanked me to the Janitor's closet. "Holy shit!" I screamed and pushed the attacker away. The attacker could be a bad man. Who knew? I flipped the switch and the small closet was lit with light. "Archer? What the fuck do you think you're doing?" I said. I was really terrified because I thought it was a rogue, rapist, or something. You never know, right?

"Stop playing these games. I know what you're doing." He demanded. What games?

"What are you talking about?" I asked trying to look and sound innocent as possible.

"Just stop it." He muttered dryly.

"Would you please let me go? I know you rejected me and that's fine. I accepted that. I just want to find someone who will treat me and accept me with respect." I sighed.

"Mine!" He roared out.

I am so sick of this shit.

"Archer, please, I'm not yours okay? You fucking rejected me now you have got to stop this shit right now!" I shouted.

He just stayed soundless.

To me, it was getting quite awkward to be in the same room as him. It was truly uncomfortable for I couldn't help but remember that we don't like each other's guts. So, I opened the door of the closet and I looked back at him. He was just looking at me with sad eyes.

I need to make things right. It is for the benefit of our wolves.

"By the way, I Kendra Valentina Martinez accept your rejection." I fully went out of the small room and never once looked back.

I walked to the cafeteria to find my table. I was in luck for I saw my friends, with Abby's mate, Mason and his friend, Scott. "Hey guys!" I greeted them. "Where have you been?" Abby asks.

"You know trouble in paradise." I said jokingly. I sat in-between Ronnie and Scott.

"No way! You encountered him." She said in disbelief. Of course I encountered him, we are in fact, in school.

"I know. Let's not talk about it." I exclaimed. Don't want to get in details.

I turned to my left.

"Hey Scott, How have you been? We haven't talked since that time we last saw each other in the mall." I said trying to make a conversation with him. It's true. I have not seen her since then.

"I've been well, How about you? How are you dealing with the rejection?" He whispered. Did he seriously ask me that?

"I'm fine." I informed. Seriously, I have new clothes, new confidence. I am certainly fine.

"You sure are." He said as he glanced at me. Is that supposed to mean something?

Leaning down he said, "Do you need my help in making him jealous?" He grins brightly at his idea. No one was looking at us because Abby and the others were engrossed in their conversation.

"Yes but how?" I sighed. It was, after all, my plan. He just told me to go with the flow. Scott put an arm around me; as a result, it had achieved to startle the others. Ronnie gave me the what-the-hell look.

I mind link her saying, 'I'm making Archer jealous with the help of Scott' She hesitated at first but then nodded and agreed with me.

"Hey babe, do you want me to accompany you during your party?" Scott asked. Whoa babe? My wolf growled not liking the idea but this was for us to teach our mate a lesson.

It's not like I don't love him, I do. It's just that I want him to beg for me to take him back. We were made for each other after all.

Suddenly, a bang was heard. It came from my mate's direction. My eyes travelled to Archer's fist that was currently connected on the table. He was seething whilst Scott just smirked. He was trying to get something out of Archer, provoking him. 

Then I noticed Archer had a cut on his lips and a few bruises.

Where did that come from? Plus, who would do that to an alpha?

The question is, when did that happen? I just saw him a while ago and he wasn't in this beaten state. He looked perfectly fine a few moments back.

Adding fuel to the fire, Scott then pulled me to his lap and rested his forehead on mine. He even kissed my cheek, taking this situation to another level.

Uh oh.

I now heard a loud growl and the cafeteria doors shut with a loud bang. I gape at the popular table when I saw that Archer was missing.

Everyone's gaze was still focused on the direction Archer went. I slid off of Scott's lap and acted as if nothing happened.

His temper tantrums will surely be the death of me.

~*~

After school, I went back home and made preparations for the party. My parents did help with everything of course. They really wanted me to have the party that I deserved.

My mother and father would be away for their date but they knew about the festivity. I can't believe that they never once fell out of love for each other. They are truly goals if you can keep that love and bond alive.

My friends would be having a sleepover here because tomorrow, we are going to help each other fix our hair, makeup and all the girl stuff. The three of us have already prepared our dresses for the party.

It's safe to say that we were all excited.

I just hope things go according to plan.
