Noah and I traipsed into our first period English class five minutes late, immediately garnering the attention of every student in the room.
"You're late." The teacher spoke in a bored voice.
"I apologize ma'am. My brother and I were cleaning red slush out of our hair. It seems that the other students here have a problem holding on to their slushie cups." I stated in a calm voice though I could still feel the prickle of rage surging through my veins. I heard a few students snicker at my comment and I cast my eyes around the room, taking in the different faces, and filing them away for later. Just as my eyes fell to the back of the room, a beautiful scent wafted through the air and to my nostrils. It smelled like sunshine and strawberries and my head followed the scent until I saw her. She had medium length blonde hair and deliciously smooth pale skin. She was wearing what looked to be a cheerleading outfit. My heart hammered in my chest as her eyes met mine and I was immediately lost in her stunning hazel eyes.
"What are your names?" The teacher asked but I was no longer paying attention to anything other than the girl sitting in the back row who had yet to break our eye contact. Noah glanced sideways at me before speaking for the first time.
"I'm Noah and she's Rachel. We're the Puckerman twins, though I prefer to be called Puck." He told the teacher who nodded and scribbled something down in her notebook on her desk.
"Very well. I won't mark you late today. Consider it a welcoming gift. Now, take your seats. We have two empty ones in the third row there." She said gesturing and I felt Noah's hand on my shoulder, guiding me through the room and to our seats. The blonde girl finally broke eye contact as Noah nudged me along, her eyes cast downward at her desk and I frowned.
Rae...was that what I think it was? Noah asked me. I blinked and glanced at him and nodded.
It was. She's it. She's the one. I told him.
You're gonna have to try a lot harder if you don't want to be obvious. Your eyes are a sparkling green right now and I could feel your desire to...ya know. He said the last part with a smirk and I internally groaned. This could end up so bad.
Shut up! I hissed at him and put my head in my hands. I could still smell her and it was driving me crazy.
When the bell rang, Noah and I picked up our notebooks and headed for the door, only to be stopped by a Latina and another blonde cheerleader. "You're new here." The Latina spoke and I had to hold in my laughter at the obviousness in her statement.
"Yeah. We just moved here." I told her, unable to contain the smile that broke over my face.
"My name is Brittany and this is Santana." The other blonde said in a bubbly voice I smiled back at her.
"I'm Rachel and this is my brother Noah." I told them just as the pretty blonde girl came up to the four of us. My senses on fire with her so close and I wanted nothing more than to pin her and make her mine. Noah, reading my thoughts, tightened his grip on my shoulder.
"And this is Quinn." Brittany said happily, introducing the beautiful blonde.
"It is lovely to meet you, ladies." Noah said with a charming smile. "But my sister and I need to get to our next class and since we are still learning our way, we want as much time as possible so we don't get lost." He said, flashing his smile that was known for making women swoon. It didn't seem to be working on these girls though.
"Let me see your schedule." Santana all but demanded and Noah wordlessly handed his schedule over. "We have all the same classes, so stick with me and you'll be alright. And you'll also avoid the slushies." She said with a smirk before heading out of the classroom. Noah and I looked at each other and shrugged, following the Latina and the two blondes.
As we walked, I noticed a truly appalling scent as we walked and it was only getting stronger. I balked and let my thoughts drift to Noah.
Do you smell that? I asked him. He frowned and shook his head.
What? I don't smell anything out of the ordinary. He said, glancing around the hallway. I swallowed and tried to ignore it but it kept getting worse and then it was right in front of us.
"Hey guys!" An excited voice said from above me and I looked up to find a giant of a boy. He was almost a head taller than Noah and at least two of me and I couldn't help the growl that formed in my throat. Luckily, it was low enough that only Noah could here and he frowned at me.
"Hey, Finn." Quinn said, happily as she reached up on her tip toes to give the boy a kiss and a snarl almost ripped from my throat but I clamped down on my tongue to stop it.
Calm down. Your eyes are turning red again. I heard Noah whisper in my head and I closed my eyes, willing them to go back to brown.
"New kids, I see." Finn said, looking our way. "I'm Finn." He held out his hand for us to shake, which Noah and I both did, although it took some prodding from Noah for me to touch the boy.
"I'm Puck and this is my sister Rachel." Noah told him. Finn just grinned a boyish grin at us.
"Cool! Puck, are you trying out for the football team?" Finn asked him and Puck smirked.
"Yeah. We both are actually." He grinned, tightening his grip on my shoulder.
"You both are?" He asked, confused. "Girls don't play football." He said, scratching the back of his head and I rolled my eyes.
"Well, I do. And I'm the fastest player your team will ever have." I ground out and he looked taken aback.
"Okay, okay, sorry. It's just not something that happens, is all." He defended and I scoffed.
I need him to go away, Noah. I told my brother and he gave a small nod.
"Well, I have to get to class so I'll see you all later." Finn said with another grin. He leaned down and kissed Quinn once more and I had to physically stop myself from reacting.
"See you guys around!" Finn said cheerily as he took off down the hallway.
"I should be going to." Quinn said as she gave us a brilliant smile. "It was nice meeting you." She said, meeting my eyes for a second too long before turning and continuing down the hall.
This is going to be a long year. I thought.
You could just try and get her. She was clearly confused about how she should feel about you. He said to me as he guided me into the classroom.
You could feel it too? I asked, looking up at him as we took empty seats next to Santana and Brittany. He nodded.
Of course. It was rolling off her in waves. I think reading people and emotions is one of my favorite abilities." He said with a smirk as a girl walked into the classroom who clearly wanted to take my brother home. I made a face.
"Disgusting." I muttered out loud, shaking my head as Noah laughed.
