Chapter 22

Didn't See that Coming...

Teagan

*

"Lucas!" I yelled at him, trying to keep up with his fast moving figure. He didn't answer or even acknowledge my presence. I sighed in annoyance at him and ran up to him. I grabbed his shoulder and spun him around.

His face was blank, emotionless. But I knew he was only angry. "What?" He spat at me, making me flinch. His face softened for a fraction of a second before he turned cold again. Ok, he is really pissing me off now.

"Ok asshole. Speak or forever hold your peace." I told him. No way was he going to get me to feel sorry or anything for his blind ass. It had been a minute ad not a word from his mouth. Ok, fine.

"Fine. Be like that." I spun around, ready to walk away but a hand caught my wrist. Sparks flew up my arm and to my mind, making it numb from the tingles going up and down throughout my whole body. I knew Luke felt them too but made no move to remove his grip. I turned around to find Luke, opening his mouth, ready to say something, but he snapped it shut. He did that a few times but didn't say anything. Instead, he just let go of my wrist and stalked away.

Why does this feel like Déjà vu?

It was the end of the day and no one had heard from Luke after his scene in the cafeteria, but that didn't mean people weren't already creating theories or more like, rumors. One of my favorite 'theories' was that 'he got a sex change and still goes through his period'. I almost died from laughing just hearing that. I knew it wasn't true but we all could use a good laugh here and there.

Another rumor was that he found someone else. Ok, that one didn't make me laugh. How did I hear this rumor, well when I in the bathroom, fixing my makeup when I heard two cheerleaders came in, gossiping of course. So I bolted inside a stall to avoid them. They didn't like me because I 'stole' all the hot guys but I can't help that they like me better. They were fixing there makeup and I though they were going to leave but instead they started talking about Luke and what happened today. So being the nosy person I am, I listened in on their conversation. There was a blonde and a brunette from what I could see through the stalls peephole.

"Did you, like, hear? Luke, like, found a new girl. That's why he, like, stormed out earlier." The blonde told her friend. The second cheerleader, the brunette, gasped from shock. I quietly snorted. They are making a too big of a deal over this.

"Like, no friggin' way?!" She screeched. I saw the blonde nod her heard. "Wow.." She breathed, still shocked. I rolled my eyes at their total over drama queen-ness. I was about to make my presence known, so I grabbed the stall door handle and was about to open the door but then I heard something that shocked me to my core.

"I think it's that slut, Terry or..Teagan..?" The brunette stated, looking at her perfectly manicured nails. I gripped the handle of the stall, so hard my knuckles turned white. How dare they!? They slept with the whole football and baseball team, yet I only slept with half of the baseball! I snapped out of my thoughts as they continued with their absurd theory...Ok..maybe not so absurd..Whatever...

"Ya.., like, maybe. I mean she, like, ran after him after he stormed away.." The brunette concluded. My grip on the door handle tightened, almost breaking it off. Thanks werewolf strength.

"And, like, didn't they go on that camping trip, like together..Then she disapeared..." The blonde piped in, fliping her long bleached hair. They thought about it for a second, while I holding my breath, wishing they won't make a connection.

"Nahh! Carrie was there and said that Teagan was, like, all over his brother, Alex. Lucky bitch...Carrie said she was, like, throwing herself on his lap and stuff. What a whore." I breathed a sigh of relief, not caring that they just totally dissed me. But right now I thanking god they were one of the dumb cheerleaders. And with that they left the bathroom with clacking noises on the tile from their six inch heels which echoed throughout the small bathroom. Then I heard the bathroom door shut.

Silence.

Then the bell rang, signalling the end of the day. My mood was sour as I came from the restroom. As I was almost to my locker, I bumped into someone I really wish I hadn't.

"Oh lookie here! It's the whore." She smirked at me, while her minions snickered behind her. Ok, this was not helping my mood at all. "What do you want Carrie?" I asked her.

Carrie rolled her eyes at me, then looked around and saw there was barely anyone around. She grinned as if she knew something I didn't. Carrie got right up close to me and then pushed me into the lockers I was standing in front of.

As I collided with the hard metal doors, my breath was knocked out of me and I could feel the pain striking up and down my back. Also I hit my head and now I had a splitting headache. I groaned and slid down to the cold tile flooring, trying to minimize the growing pain. But was able to whisper to her,

"Why?"

She laughed at me. It was a cold, humorless laugh. She looked me in the eye and I did the same. She had bitterness & anger showing but also loneliness. But did I feel an ounce of sympathy for her?

Hell no.

"Why? Why?! Well, first of all, you are trying to steal the love of my life and turn him against me!" She cried out, dramatically throwing her hands up, turning away from me. She started pacing the hall. I snorted and rolled my eyes. She turned her hard glare at me, while smirking at my hurt figure. My vision was slowly turning dark and I could feel myself losing my grip on consciousness

I was surprised by this time that no one, not even a teacher had intervened but that's people for you. They are so scared of Carrie, they don't cut in. Especially since people believe she is to be the next Alpha Female or The Luna, as people like to say. I looked at the ground, trying not to fall into unconsciousness.

"Look at me." I didn't respond. "Look at me!" Once again, I was too tired and in too much pain to move. I couldn't see much because of the little spots dancing across my sight. Then I movement through my clouded eyesight. Carrie bent down to my level on the ground, grabbed my chin and forced my to look up at her.

"I said look at me dammit!" She screamed at me. I could see fur sprouting from body. Oh god..She might be shifting. Only her mate can calm her down or else she will shift and probably murder me. No one else can do it. No one.

"Carrie!" I heard him shout. What the hell is he doing here? I saw him wearing a baseball cap but I knew it was him because of the jacket, which he always wore yet I never really noticed before...

 He ran over to her and grabbed her away from me. I breathed a sigh of release, but I knew I wouldn't be safe for long, considering he couldn't calm her down. I heard him say some things to try and calm her down but I tuned him out and tried to make sure I didn't pass out. But I knew it was no use for him or me.

After a few moments, I noticed it was eerily calm. So I blinked a few times to try and clear my vision just enough to see. I saw two figures, which I knew who they were. But it wasn't who they were that almost killed me. It was what they were doing...

Lucas was kissing Carrie. And she wasn't about to shift...

So I did what any sensible girl would do...

I fainted.

Carrie

Holy shit.

He's my mate..? When did this happen?

I pulled away from the kiss. He looked ready to protest but I put my finger to his lips and I moved towards his ear, whispering to him,

"You always knew. Didn't you?"

Ok. Loop throwing time. I know this may really be confusing but the next chapter will say it all. Sorry this is short but I need a short break. So don't be hatin' on Luke. He is a guy and I'm trying to make this very realistic because lets face it. Most guys are this clueless when it comes to girls and they are sometimes that much a a prick. So ya. Not saying you can't hate him but cut him some slack. He is a teenage guy...

Oh and one request, please don't say things like, "Make this longer, please?" Cause that really gets on my nerves. I try really hard to upload at least every two or so days, so I can't make them longer than I can make them because I do have a life. No offense. I really do try super hard for you all and if I can't update cause I'm busy, then I will try and tell you. Trust me.
