The following day after school, I met up with Maggie in the same place as before.

"Hey Mag." I smiled and walked towards her.

She strutted over, "Sup sis."

"Hey tell Ma I won't be home til later. I'm going to the gym for a while."

"Since when do you go to the gym?" She wiggled her eyebrows.

"Since today. Who's taking you home?"

"My friend Becky is. Is that okay?"

"I guess. Just get home safe."

"Okay byeeee." And just like that she was gone.

I walked inside the girl's bathroom in the gym and changed into short gym shorts, a white tank top and tied my long hair into a loose ponytail. I got all my bags and walked over towards the main room with the all the machines. I dropped the bags next to the treadmill and almost had a heart attack. In a good way, if that even makes any sense. Just a few machines down, there he was.

Theo must have noticed me because he stopped what he was doing and purposely took off his sweater, revealing his God knows how many pack body, and walked in my direction, wearing only grey sweatpants. Let me just tell you, it wasn't just those abs. Not to be creepy, but he also had the ass. I mean come on, even mine isn't that perfect.

"Hey Athena. Didn't think I would find you here." He smiled.

I looked into his eyes, and only his eyes. I couldn't let him see one of my weaknesses. At least not like this. His eyes wandered towards mine. Theo moved left and right slowly, seeing where I was looking,

"You're looking into my eyes," He laughed.

"What am I supposed to do? Lick my lips?" I snorted.

"Something like that."

"Sooo?" I still kept looking into his eyes, and nothing lower.

"So you came here to stare at me?" He smirked.

"No. I actually came here to work out. You?"

"Well, you are really hard to persuade. And I bet you're feeling really uncomfortable right now."

"You sure like to get off topic." I smiled. "And what makes you think I'm uncomfortable?"

"Nothing. But you really want to look don't you?" He smiled, coming closer.

"No." I lied. Why does this kid have to make everything uncomfortable?

"You know, if you join my pack, you'll get to see an awful lot of this." He touched my arm gently.

"Theo.." I turned around, "I should be working out."

"Go ahead." He smiled, not turning away.

I walked over towards the weights and right before I was going to pick up a 15 lb, he held on to it, not letting me take it.

"Come on, you can do better than that." He smirked. Please. Stop. Fucking. Smirking. And I don't mean that in a bad way. No girl could resist that smirk.

"I don't want to make a fool out of myself in front of you."

"Try 30." He pointed with his head.

I sighed and picked it up. To my surprise, it wasn't that heavy.

"See? It's not so bad."

"Theo?" I looked at him, putting down the weight.

"Yeah?"

"Why do you want me in your pack so badly?"

"I don't know. Don't you want to be in a pack?"

"I do, but can I at least have some time? Besides, you still have to persuade me."

"That backfired." He smiled, looking down.

"Wha-? Oh God. Was that it? Your little trick?" I laughed.

"Yeah, but you are hard to persuade." He chuckled, coming closer towards me. I bumped into the wall behind me, but I didn't move away. Theo leaned against it, coming even closer.

The door to the gym slammed open and in came another guy. I looked behind Theo to see the guy's features. Dark hair, tan skin, tattoo.. That's all I could pick out.

"Hey Theo," He came towards us.

"Who's this?" I looked at Theo for an answer.

"This is Scott." Theo said, looking at him. To be pretty honest he was cute as well. Why have I just found out about this school with the world's hottest teenagers?

"I'm Athena by the way." I looked at this Scott, walking away from Theo.

"Sorry if I was interrupting anything." He said.

"No. You weren't." Theo said. By the tone of his voice, I could tell he was agitated that Scott came.

"Imma go and leave you guys to yourselves." I smiled and slowly walked away. For the next 10 minutes, I was pretty much only working out, not caring if they were watching.

I was just about to call my dad, when my phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey Athena, it's mom. Just wanted to tell you that your father and I are parked outside. Take your time though."

"Alright. Bye Ma." I said, and hung up. Grasping my bag's handles, I walked out of the machine room towards the doors. I looked back one last time and when I couldn't find Theo, I left.

Ma and Dad, just like she said, were parked in front of the gym. I opened the door to the Honda and got inside.

"Hey Athena, how was your day?" Dad turned around to face me from the front seat.

"Peachy. Just peachy." I put my bag on my lap and looked out of the window.

"Well we've got some news for you. Your father and I are leaving early tomorrow morning and coming back in two days. It's a little trip for us."

"Aww. That's too bad." I fake-frowned. But to be honest, I wasn't so sad. I get the whole house to myself. Well, Maggie too but you know.

"Yeah, and you know the rules. No-"

"No parties, be home by curfew, no pretending to be 21, no going to clubs, no getting drunk, no doing drugs." I groaned.

"And absolutely no boys. You forgot that." Dad said, looking at me.

"Right." I knew that, but I didn't want to actually say it. Why we had these stupid rules, I have no clue. But none of them really bothered me, except the last one.
