Avery P.O.V.
"Ouch! I am holding my head. I looked up and saw Jacob Whites standing there, watching me with a smirk on his lips. I didn't want him to know I was eavesdropping or spying on his best friend's conversation. I knew I shouldn't even be there listening to them about Elijah's mate and everything.
But I was curious about who it was. A little part of me was hoping it was me being his mate. But I knew that was a lie. I am not good enough to be the Luna and mate for Elijah Woods. I sighed, listened to Jake and Elijah walking, and stopped in front of me and Jacob.
"What the fuck!" I heard Jake and Elijah say at the same time with a growl.
"Now, fellas, "Jacob said with his hands around my waist. I looked down, and Jacob and he stared at the guys. They didn't like me around Jacob. So, Jacob let go of my waist and step away.
Good, I can breathe now, and the guys can stop giving him murder looks and growling at their friend. I smiled up at Jacob, who was six feet away from me.
"Hey, fellas, what's up," Jacob said to them.
"Oh, nothing; what's up with you," Jake said, staring at him and then at me. I saw the look he was giving us. So, what I am around, Jacob. I am not diseased or anything. So, I gave Jake and Elijah a serious look on my face to tell them. They are not my boss. I can be with friends or even date anyone I want. They can't stop me.
"We are just chatting. Is that right, Avery," Jacob said to me.
"Yeah, actively; I ran into him about a homework sheet he copied from me." Here you go, Jacob. Well, now I give you that." I'll see you around, Jacob." I told him and walked away from their loud voice yelling at each other.
Jake P.O.V.
"What the fuck!" I heard Elijah yelling at Jacob.
"Hey now, fellas, don't get mad at me" I didn't do anything to her." She just ran into me and gave me our homework sheet from English class, that's all." Jacob said.
"Yeah, right! I know you know about what's going on." Elijah said, angry at Jacob.
"I am not fucking stupid, Jacob!" I know you know about the bet!" So, if you don't mind." Leave her alone," he told Jacob with a growl.
"What bet!" Jacob whispered it and looked around, ensuring no one heard him and us talking.
"Wait a minute, Elijah!" I asked him. "What bet are you talking about?" I asked Elijah, giving him a confused look.
"Nothing, bro," he told me. I know him up to something. But what is it? He better not hurt our mate. "But who knows about him?
Elijah P.O.V.
What the fuck is going on here, I thought. I saw Avery and Jacob in the middle of the hallway touching and holding on to each other. But when Jake and I walked around the corner, they dropped their hold on each other. I saw guilty on their faces.
"I don't know, but I am not liking this," Axel said to me with a growl in his voice.
"Hey, it's probably nothing; she knew she got a mate out there. She won't do anything to hurt her chance of founding her mate." He told me. I wanted to believe him, but why would she want me after I treated her like shit. I wouldn't want me either for a mate.
I sighed, and I saw Jacob staring at me with hurt and worry on his face. I should know my best friend wouldn't try to take my mate away from me. Well, mean us. What I mean is Jake too.
"Hey, I am going to go" I talk to you guys later at football practice," Jacob said with a smile on his face.
"Yeah, I see you later, buddy," Jake said, giving Jacob a handshake. I went over towards Jacob and gave him a pact on his back.
"See ya later, man!" I told him. He nodded at me and Jake and walked away.
I watched Jacob walk away from us.
"You believe them, didn't you, about the homework sheet in their English class." Or do you think it was weird how she was out there in the hallway, and she somehow got the piece of paper out and gave it to him." I said to Jake.
"Yeah, I believe my mate; you should too, buddy," Jake told me.
I nodded my head. "Your right, Jake; I shouldn't be like this. I am just afraid she doesn't want anything with me. I know I shouldn't have done that tease with her in the lunchroom and made out with your sister.
I am feeling awful, and I know I hurt her. I can feel bold of being mates."I said to Jake. I am a bad guy. She shouldn't want to do anything with me. I am going to be rejected by Avery. I can feel it. I need to be friendlier toward her, or I will be mateless.
So, I made up my mind. I am going to start treating Avery Williams better. No more bullying and tripping her and calling her names anymore. Well, except for pet names for her when we were in the bedroom once we mated. I thought with a smirk on my face.
"Dude, I am standing right here." I can hear what you're thinking about our mate." You're making me horny to grab her and show her how well she will be cared for. If you know what I mean." Jake said with a cocky grin on his face.
"Okay, I'll stop it," I said with a chuckle. I didn't want to get too excited in school. Everyone will see I am hard and I don't want to show them. So, I started thinking about our gym teacher Miss Walters because she looks like a butch with a mustache.
"Ewe, gross dude, I am going to puke," Jake said, holding his mouth.
"That's the point, dude," I said in my mind. I giggled in my mind.
"You guys are sicko," Axel and Ax said in our minds.
Jake and I started laughing and walking to our fifth-period class. I know we are going to be late for the gym.
"Oh, man, now I am really going to be sick," Jake said.
Oh, don't think about Miss Walters in gym class today. Try to show you're going to be sick, either. She will find out you have been thinking about her naked. So, stop it!
"Shut up, Elijah! Gross." He ran into the bathroom, and I started laughing, walking into gym class with a whistle on my lips.
