Back to High School
Twelve
Chloe POV
After the encounter I had with Tori I was shaken up and scared of this family. Nobody actually did know anything about these people and I didn't know if they were stable. Tori obviously wasn't but I didn't know about Simon and Derek. They could all be escaped mental patients that have been on the run. They could be here to take me, they could me here to turn the country into an army of evil minions that will rise and destroy the worlds population!
So maybe I was freaking out a little bit more than I should have but it wasn't like anyone could blame me right now. I had known these guys for a day and am already being threatened by the newbies. I hadn't paid any attention to what I was actually supposed to be learning from Derek but I could honestly say I couldn't care less, my mind was pre occupied with different creepy scenarios that involved me being either killed, tortured or kidnapped by the people in this very house.
I was still thinking of the different ways I would be leaving this house - if I was leaving, when Becca decided to let her appearance be known by singing at the top of her lungs What does the fox say. I jumped out of my skin because the girl cannot sing a single note and she just happened to be bouncing on Derek's bed although there was not a single sound or movement from the bed.
I jumped and had to stifle a yelp by slapping my hand against my mouth which made my cheek sting with the impact. She started laughing hysterically at my shocked face and Derek's equally confused one.
"Damn I need to do that more often!" Becca said after she had calmed down.
I glared at her before looking at Derek to see him staring at me like I was a freak which was probably a very accurate assumption of me at this moment in time.
"Sorry could you um go over that again I still don't get it." I asked because I didn't like how he was staring at me.
"You haven't been listening to a thing I have said have you Chloe?" He asked
"O-of course I have!" I lie
"What have I been talking about for the past fifteen minutes?"
"You're screwed." Becca said
I glared at her again before answering Derek
"Pi?" I said although it came out as more of a question
"Apples." H e said
"Oh," is all I can say turning a bright shade of red "I guess I have just been distracted."
"No shit Sherlock!" Becca says.
I glare at her again then look at Derek who is looking at where I was just glaring
"You keep on looking up there, why?" he asks
"I um your wallpaper interests me." I say
"Navy blue wallpaper interests you?"
"Yeah, I mean your room is all really dark and clean, it doesn't look like most teenage boys bedrooms."
"How would you know!" he questions. His head turned around so quickly I was afraid he would get whiplash.
Derek POV
"How would you know!" I growl as I turn to face her.
The idea of her being in another males bedroom angered me.
And me!
Shush!
Fine.
"Well I um don't." She says looking down
You made her sad
Didn't mean to!
Comfort her dipshit!
I don't know what to say!
Allow me
"Oh Baby don't be embarrassed, I don't know what a girls room looks like either." My wolf said to my mate.
My angels head snapped up as soon as I – I mean my wolf called her baby.
"Oh okay, I – your eyes have changed colour!" She exclaimed loudly.
You just had to see her didn't you idiot!
Hey I only get to see images of her that you send. Not my fault for wanting to see her!
UGH!
"Uh no I mean it must be the lighting or something." I mumbled
"Oh of course, so um could we please do some more of those thingies, I promise I will listen this time." She said with a small smile.
"Yeah sure." I say
I spent the next 20 minutes trying to get her to learn how to do Algebra and she still can't do it, although it is cute watching her get frustrated with a problem on the worksheet.
"I give up!" she sighed the flopped on the floor staring at my ceiling.
I chuckled and put all of the maths books to the side
"The pizza should be here soon, do you want to go downstairs?" I ask her knowing the pizza is making its way up the drive way as we speak.
"I'll get up when it gets here." She says not even looking at me but staring to the corner of my room again.
Not two seconds later did the doorbell ring and Chloe made the most adorable groaning noise ever.
"Not fair!" she says sitting up to look at me
"Come on, I'm hungry." I say.
She sighs and tries to get up only to land on her butt again. I laughed loudly as she glared up at my tall frame as I tried to stop my laughing.
"Carry me!" she said taking me by surprise
Never the less I did indeed pick her up and carry her bridal style down the stairs as she squealed and wriggled in my arms like a little kid.
As we entered the dining room all eyes went to me and Chloe.
"Look at the cute little couple!" Tori said with clear sarcasm.
Chloe stiffened in my arms at the sound of Tori's voice and I could smell the fear radiating off of her at the moment.
"D-D-D-Derek please p-p-put me down." Chloe whispered.
I gently placed her on the floor but made sure she was okay before letting her walk to her seat at the table. I glared at Tori to see her smirking at Chloe, Simon was glaring daggers at me and Kit was looking at Simon with concern.
"So Chloe how are you liking school?" Kit asked.
I rolled my eyes then looked at Simon to see him still glaring at me.
"It's okay , it's a good school." She answered politely
The rest of the meal went along fine, Kit and Simon kept trying to make conversation with Chloe but she wouldn't answer them properly and she barely ate anything. I didn't say anything about her behaviour though and we went back up to my room after we'd eaten enough.
Talk to her about what happened in the corridor!
What do I say?
Explain what happened
How
Your hopeless!
"Um Chloe?"
"Yeah" she said in her adorable innocent voice.
"About today in the hallway …"
I have made this really short because I can't wait to get to the next chapter and this one is just an in-between and not important. Hope you guys are liking the story still.
