chapter 3

As soon as I sat beside him, he fixed me with a wide-eye look that clearly said, 'have you hit your head and mistaken me for someone else?'.

And with his eyes wide, and open like that I took advantage of it, and started staring into them.

They were the beautifulest dark green eyes I have ever seen in my whole life, they were like emerald molten .

"Derek, I'm sitting beside you deal with it, and stop acting so shocked. And dont worry, I actually want to sit with you."

I searched his face as a sudden emotion flashed through his eyes, but I couldn't place what it was, and it looked like he was about to protest, but mumbled something I couldn't hear, and turned around.

The teacher gave me a warm, beaming smile, and turned her attention to the class, and said her name was probably for me… Then she asked me to stand up, and introduce .

I got up took a step back incase I wabbled, and bumped into the girl beside me or even Derek.

As soon as I did so, I started my introduction, "My name is Klara Faye, 17, I just recently came here from buffalo,...And yeah.", then sat down so I could pretend that I wasn't as awkward as I really was.

Then the teacher started talking, and I was content to listen to her, until the girl beside me spoke up.

"Okay, you are pretty enough, and seem to be disgustingly nice, but seriously have you seen this guy?! He is beyond ugly, and don't even get me started on how rude, and scary he is!, all I'm saying is you don't have to pull a stunt like that to get attention at this school, because like I said before you're pretty enough, and will instantly be loved by everyone, so just stop pretending like you care about the big FREAK.", the way she added so much venom into last part, just made me snap. And I just started to flat out yell.

"You stupid bitch! God, how could you say something like that to the poor guy? it's not his fault he looks the way he looks, and plus its actually not bad. And the reason maybe, just maybe, why he is so rude is, because of the way bitches and bastards like you treat him, so why don't you go and fuck your self!".

"You! new kid, principal's office, NOW!", yelled .

Everyone had perplexed looks set on their faces, even Derek.

Then I stood up grabbed my shoes, and my bag, and walked out barefoot.(I wasn't going to storm off, but stop to put my shoes on, then storm off again, it would ruin the whole dramatic effect.).

Once I stepped outside the door I slammed it shut. Then I walked a couple of paces, then stopped to put on my shoes.

I moved to the side incase anyone opens the door ,and slams into me. I opened the laces for both shoes and slid them on, and started working on tying them, when the door opened and a looming figure also known as Derek stepped out.

I was still crouched down and had a long way to look until I met his eyes. He loomed for a minute and then said, " Thank you."

I finished tying up my shoes, stood up and asked him, " Hey I'm hungry, wanna grab something to eat?".

Then I saw the corner of his mouth quirk up, it wasn't exactly a smile, but still he managed to make it look breathtaking, genuine, and rare.

My breath hitched, and he finally spoke up and said, "Don't you have to go to the principal's office?", "Yeah, but I don't feel like it. So you wanna eat with me or not?", his shoulders started to shake, then I noticed that he was laughing, which caused me to jump a little inside and laugh with him.

Then said, "Fine, but I'm driving I don't particularly trust you with driving", I ginned and said, "Whatever"

As we walked to the parking lot, I kept looking his way, he smelt familiar, and yeah I meant smelt 'cause The 1 fifth werewolf in me picked it up.

As I continued my observations I took note of his face, it was strong and defined, high cheek bones, strong jawline, red lips, straight nose… He was actually really cute, his acne also seemed to be receding but even with it, he was still pretty hot, and had this whole bad boy look about him.

He was really tall and I liked that, then I started thinking about how his face is too well defined for him to be chubby, underneath those baggy jeans, and even baggier sweater.

Then he turned my way, and noticed me staring and said, "What?"

"Nothing just wondering why girls aren't in love with you." i said it nonchalantly enough that it could have been the same as saying, 'The weather seems to be quite fine this afternoon.'

Just then I looked over to catch a glimpse at his reaction, and saw a faint blush creep up on his face involuntarily, and he quickly tuned his face and said gruffly, " Have you seen my face?",

" Um, yeah. It's pretty nice."

And before he could endure anymore of this, he sped walked to his car, pulled out his keys ,slipped them in, unlocked it, sat down, and waited for me to enter.

I couldn't help but laugh and shake my head. As I approached the car, he unlocked it and I slid in ,he started the car and started driving.

In no time we were on the main road, when I said, "So where are we going?", "Well there's this cafe, bistro thing not too far from here, and I could really use some caffeine."

"you and me both"

The car ride was silent, but in more of a relaxing, no stress, care free way. And I closed my eyes, and leaned my head against the window, and just relaxed until we pulled up in in the coffee shop he was talking about.

We entered and ordered some food. I got an extra large black coffee, and a ham sandwich. Derek ordered the same, and instead of one sandwich he had four.

As the barista told us the total cost Derek started to pull out his wallet when I stopped him, and put a hand over his, "Hey, I invited you, and I don't want you to feel obliged to paying, plus you already drove over here ,and that does cost money the last time I checked.", "But-", "But nothing I'm paying, so just stop okay?".

He looked like he wanted to argue, but he finally caved in and grumbled "fine."

With that said, I reached down and grabbed the wad of 20's I had stuffed in my shoe, along with my credit card. I pulled out two twenties, and handed them to her and stuffed the thick wad back into my boot.

When I looked up Derek had this surprised, confused look on his face. "What, I save my allowance up pretty well, and have extra money to spend on necessities such as food."

A look crossed over his face, that resembled amusement, he shook his head and said, "Come on lets find a place to sit."

I took the lead and lead him to the back of the store. He raised an eyebrow at me and I said, " What I don't like it up front…, But if you'd rather we can-", "nope here's fine.", I giggled, and he did one of his mouth quirks. god he's beautiful.
