Friday came quickly and it was announced that there would be a winter formal for all year levels, causing me to completely lose interest in every class after. I was grinning like the Cheshire cat all day and from the corner of my eye I could see Liam chuckling at me and Mason giving him questioning glances every now and then. At lunch Lydia pulled me to an empty table so that we girls could organize a shopping trip before the big shopping trip, in a couple of weeks to find the one. Lydia likes to know what's out there first. After that it seemed I couldn't focus even more and Liam kept asking me if my face going to fall off earning a chuckle from Mason and a punch in the arm from me, resulting in my hand hurting each time I did it. Last period rolled around and the heels of my black boots clacked along the floor as I made a beeline for my locker. As I spun in the combo I felt a hand on my waist and a hand on my hand. The person then continued to spin me around, causing my skirt to hit their thighs. I let out a sigh as I saw Liam's piercing blue eyes with a hint of a playful look in them. I gave him a short kiss on the corner of his mouth as I spun back around to finish off my combo.
"What's gotten you so happy today?" he asked me moving so he was leaning on the locker beside mine. I pulled out my books giving him an 'are you kidding me?' look. I shook my head and walked away from him. He followed me.
"Lydia, the girls and I are going shopping after school today to scope out formal dresses, and I haven't had a lot of time to hang out with Lydia since I got back from France, now that I'm all happy, just not with Isaac, and I feel bad because a certain blue eyed beta wolf keeps taking my attention," Liam cut me off before I could continue.
"I'm not that new anymore, just new to you, sort of. And tell her I'm sorry for taking you away." I laugh throwing my head back and wrapping my arm around his bicep as we walked to class.
"There's nothing to be sorry about, when I was with Brett, I wasn't allowed to even see my friends outside of school, he thought I would cheat and talk about him behind his back. She's just happy that I'm finally actually happy. So I'm going with her, Kira, Malia and Stiles straight after school, you can come to if you want, but just a warning, we buy lots and you and Stiles would end up carrying them. Thems the rules." I patted his arm and we walked the rest of the way to class in silence. The only sound being made was the clacking of my heels and the rubbing together of Liam's jeans. As we rounded the corner and the class was insight Mason joined us.
"So tell me guys, why are you both so cosy with each other today, and why am I only now hearing, from Scott mind you, that you guys are a couple and have been for like almost a week now?" Mason looked pointedly at the way my arm wrapped around Liam's and the way we were so comfortable with each other. I looked down at my feet. Why haven't we told Mason yet?
"Mase, sorry but things have been crazy at home, you know with Scott's dad coming home and everything still being super awkward between us all, I guess it just slipped our minds. And dealing my 'fucking nutjob' of a brother as you so kindly put it. He's been 'shipped' back to France." I out air quotations around shipped. "And it's been effecting the whole pack, I swear we were going to tell you" I told him putting my hand on his shoulder as we made it to the classroom, I let go of Liam and patted Mason's shoulder going over to ur normal seats for chemistry.
Mason leaned over to whisper in my ear halfway through the class.
"Is the story of the old chemistry teacher true? Or is it a 'supernatural' thing?" Liam's head had cocked to the side listening to our conversation.
"I'll tell you after class, the real story will make you shiver and haunt your nightmares. Like the berserkers and Liam's nightmare." I heard him growl slightly and Mason gave me another strange look. I gave him the 'I'll tell you later look'. The rest of the class I kept shooting worried glances at Liam. He kept balling up his fists and growling. Although this teacher is a lot nicer than Harris, he still kept a watchful eye on the three of us and if Liam couldn't control it he would for sure let the secret out. Mason watched me as I did this. When the bell finally signalled the end of class, I stuffed my books into my small bag and I gestured or Mason to help me, he pack his things away as I grabbed Liam's shoulders and pulled him out of the classroom, Mason joined soon after holding onto Liam's bicep as we dragged him towards the baby blue jeep parked in the carpark. I saw Scott and Stiles leaving the hallways and Scott ran over, a spazzy Stiles desperately trying to keep up.
"He's been like this for half of chemistry." I told Scott moving out of the way so that he could hold back Liam with Mason's help. I saw Lydia strut towards us Kira and Malia flanking her.
"Don't tell me we have to postpone, I am so looking forward to this all girls shopping trip" Lydia wined coming up to us. I shook my head and looked over to Liam.
"No I'm still definitely coming, we just might not have a bag holder. Liam takes two people to control on a normal day, tonight's the full moon, plus I should be home by the time he completely wolfs out." I turned to Mason Scott and Stiles as they desperately tried to push Liam into the back seat of the jeep. "You guys will be fine with him until I get home right?" I asked looking straight at Scott as I got the answer I knew was coming from Stiles.
"No, he's your boyfriend you look after him." I sighed and spun around to Stiles.
"Do you seriously want to carry all of our bags tonight?" I asked him placing a hand on my hip. He shook his head quickly. I nodded and turned back to Scott. He nodded his head looking at Mason.
"Mason, can you stay and help while she's out?" Mason nodded as Liam growled and even without werewolf senses I could tell his heartbeat rose. I pulled Mason into a quick hug.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine, also he can smell fear just chill out." I pulled away from him and pulled an almost wolfed out Liam into a hug, he instantly transformed back to the Liam I loved. "You will be fine without me, you don't go bonkers until about midnight" he nodded and I gave him a quick kiss his hands pulled me in, after I pulled away, to kiss me again this time deeper. Scott cleared his throat and I blushed, I nudged Liam to get into the jeep. "Text me if you need a hand while I'm out." Scott nodded and I walked off with the girls. I watched as Stiles sped out of the parking lot, the girls were laughing about something when Lydia nudged my shoulder.
"Oi, Juliet, he'll be fine" Malia told me. I took a deep breath and hopped into the back of Lydia's car. She turned the radio up and we all started singing to whatever was on, very loud and off key, causing to relax slightly, Liam was in good hands and he'd want me to have fun with the girls. Once at the mall we headed straight for a small boutique called Prom Diary. I had gone with Allison and Lydia here when they went shopping for the last formal. We all parted ways until we all met at the dressing rooms. Bursting out laughing at the way we all get there at the same time we picked out four stalls next to each other.
"Okay when you've got a dress on yell done and wait in there, we'll all come out together." Lydia tells us strutting into the middle change room. I hung up all my dresses on the rack and stood back. I sighed and picked up the first one. It was a lime green one with beads all over the tulle, yelling done I continued to look at myself in the mirror waiting for everyone else. To me it was too puffy, I didn't want to go for the ball gown effect but I liked the colour with my skin tone. Everyone came out and we all gushed about how the others looked. This went on for maybe an hour and a half before we all found one we were in love with. Lydia had found one that had gold accents but was a peachy brown kind of colour that made her hair stand out and looked great on her. Malia had curves in all the right places, so she had a trumpet/mermaid dress, the bodice was red and where the dress flared out just below her knees it became a creamy ivory colour. Kira was a bit edgier than Lydia and Malia and went with an eggplant colour sleeveless dress. I still wasn't completely 100% sold on my dress but we put it on hold for the time being as a backup, it was a simple sky blue with gold embroidery on the bodice, I loved the bodice but I didn't like the cut of the skirt. We stopped at the food court on our way out and just grabbed a quick bite to eat. As we were walking out someone stepped in front of me causing me to stop so I didn't bump into them, I looked up and was met with bright blue eyes black hair and a lip piercing.
"Amya, right?" his thick British accent drawled. "I couldn't remember because you haven't messaged me back in a while, what's going on?" his hand came up to rest gently on my upper arm.
"Sorry, I've been super busy and just haven't been looking at my phone, I've been having some family issues." I looked at the ground sheepishly. "Plus you never actually gave your name." I pointed out looking up at him.
"Oh, it's Brendan, and I'm sorry, I would never intentionally keep such a beautiful girl waiting." He said lifting his hand from my arm to my face stroking my cheek gently. I could see behind him the girls, minus Lydia, all raise their eyes at me.
"Brendan I'm sorry but I really must be going, family needs me and all, I'll message you later tonight if I can." He nodded and quickly pulled me into a hug before running off. Lydia grabbed my arm and gushed about how hot he was to me. And all I could think was 'shit, what about Liam?'
