Short but cute.

Chocolate and Honey

Chapter 9

Mad Girls, Sad Boys

Seth wasn't in school today. None of the wolves were. Even Kim wasn't there. I was all alone.

"Hi." A girl with blond hair and blue highlights came up to me in the lunch room.

"Hi, cute hair."

"Thanks, I'm Melissa. Do you want to sit with us?" She motioned to some girls in cheerleaders' uniforms and boys in letterman jackets.

"Sure. Why not?" I followed her to the table.

"Hi! I'm Dana, you must be Sofie!" A brown haired girl said.

"Yeah, hi." The entire table buzzed at the sound of my name.

"Dana, she's one of them." A girl muttered.

"Oh, Alison! Be polite!" Dana answered.

"Besides, she's just a tag-along. She's one of their girls. Not one of them." Melissa said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"You're a part of their gang." Alison said. The table went quiet.

"The guys?" I laughed. "Those guys are Teddy Bears!"

"No their not! They're scary!" A girl said.

"Shhh! Maddy! They let her get close! Of course she knows their good side." Melissa said.

"You guys are scared of them?" I asked.

"Well, they don't let people in very often." Dana said.

"They're trouble-makers." Alison said.

"Sexy trouble makers." Maddy said.

"I thought they were scary?" Melissa said.

"Totally terrifying, but super sexy."

"Can you not talk about my boyfriend, please?"

"Sorry." Maddy blushed.

"Well, Sofie, why did they let you in?"

"I was new? They were nice, and then I started dating Seth. Plus, Eli was my best friend in Germany."

"She had pre-connections." Alison said.

"No, I just became friends with them, then. You know what; I have to see a teacher. I'll talk to you guys later."

I left and went to the library. By the end of the day, I was so tired, upset and hungry.

I pulled out my cell phone.

"Seth Clearwater you have twenty minutes to get to my house." I growled.

He was over in twenty minutes.

"Wanna take a walk?" He asked.

"Yes."

"So, err, why are you so angry with me?"

"Next time you ditch school, make somebody stay behind, because those girls are mad."

"They're mad at you?"

"No! Sorry I mean crazy, like a mad scientist."

"I see. I'm sorry."

"I didn't know people thought you guys were a gang."

"Were a bunch of guys who look like were on steroids. What else would people think, babe?"

"I didn't know, I didn't really notice."

"The rumors are endless; mostly just we're a gang on steroids."

"Wow, scary."

"And no one knows the truth behind Leah's heartbreak."

"What does that cause?"

"People think we're bad to our girls."

"No, how do they think that after seeing the wolf girls with the boys?"

"One mistake can change it all." He said sadly.

"No! Stop that! You need to stop worrying about hurting me. You are in control. I see it in your eyes."

"Sof, relax, I know."

"Do you know I love you?"

"I do, but it never hurts to tell me again." He grinned.

"I love you." I kissed him.

"I love you, too."
