Chloe's PROV
Today was just a normal day for me. After the episode with the hurt wolf this weekend I was happy to have the blandness of a Mondays.
I walked alone in the crowded hallway with conversations bubbling all around me. Everyone was talking about their weekends and such, but I never bothered to ease drop. My main goal was to make it to class before the bell rang.
I heard my name being yelled. I turned my head to see my friends by my Math class waiting for me. Liz had been the one to call my name, I had known her since I was in grade school. Elisabeth was her real name but everyone called her Liz. She fit in with her has strait blond hair and average height. She was well liked and popular thanks to her bubbly personality. She was athletic and thin with sparkling blue eyes. Her skin was clear with a soft tan. She had freckles sprinkled across her nose. I loved Liz, because you could be so stressed over something then you just look at her face and see her kind smile and forget all your problems. It is hard to not love Liz.
Standing beside Liz was Nate. I have known him since I was younger. He has soft brown hair and had chocolate brown eyes. He is about 5'9. He was well liked for his funny and mellow personality.
"Hi, Chloe!" Liz said as I came to stand by her side.
"Hey", Nate said.
"Good morning", I greeted them.
"How was your weekend?" Liz asked.
"Fine, I didn't do much", I lied.
"Did you finish your math homework?" asked Nate.
The conversation continued to flow. We talked about our weekends, how we have been, and did we have homework. I liked the time to just talk with my friends, but I can't help but feel the empty hole that was inside me. My depression often hit at random times, but it has been harder to control recently.
My mom died when I was younger. I have my Aunt Lauren to look after me, but I still miss her. My dad is a big business man so he is going on trips and he is not around often. Right now he has gone some were in Rio. I miss him when he is gone, but then again I kind of don't. When he is home he shows no emotion. He acts numb, but I can't blame him. I look a lot like my mother, so it must be a reminder to him.
I love my aunt and she takes care of me when dad is away, but she worries too much. She has a tendency of being overbearing and controlling, but I know it is for the best. She just loves me too much and she doesn't mean to replace my mom.
Derek's PROV
She looked as beautiful as ever. This could be my chance to talk to her. She was walking alone in the hallway. It was so crowded I would never make it to her in time. She is able to easily fit in-between the crowd at her size. She walks with her head down. Her hair acted as a curtain around her face. I heard someone call her name, and I looked over to see a blond haired girl. Chloe made her way over to the girl and the boy that stood beside her. They talked to Chloe asking her how was her weekend and other senseless questions. Sometimes they would include Chloe, but for the most part she seemed to be out of it. She looked to be lost in thoughts. I had never seen anything more beautiful but, she looks to be so uneasy. I could see the same sadness in her eyes that was there the other night.
"Hello, earth to wolf boy", Tori's shrill voice cut into my thoughts. I looked down and glared. She just rolled her eyes.
"Go drool somewhere else", she sneered.
"Do you need something", I growled back.
"Yeah, where is the Asian at?" She asked.
"I don't know try the art room" I said.
I looked back to see that sadly, Chloe had moved on with her friends. I sighed and turned to my class. After that I didn't see Chloe again. I was disappointed. I wanted to see her smile or hear her laugh, but the last time I saw her she had a sad and lonely expression on her beautiful face.
Chloe's POV
After my morning classes I walked alone to my art class. When I walked into I saw all of the girls crowding around my table. Sitting there at my table was a head of spiky dirty blond hair. The boy had warm almond shaped brown eyes. He looked to be tall with lean muscles. He even had an actor's smile. I sat down in my seat facing opposite of the boy.
"Hi, I'm Simon Bea." He said with a heart breaking smile. I looked down at my hands in my lap.
"H-hi, I'm C-chloe. It is nice to meet you." I cursed my stutter and then I looked up and gave a shy smile.
Soon after our introduction our teacher gathered our attention. She did a short introduction on painting and told us our paintings would need to be completed by the end of the class.
After we cleaned up from painting, Simon called my name I looked over to him and meet his eyes. He certainly was attractive. His skin was clear and had a gloving tan. He was well built, about average height. He stood staring back at me. While I was gawking at him, I missed the question he asked.
"Sorr-ry w-what d-did y-y-you s-a-ay?" I asked very stupidly. I could feel the heat rushing to my cheeks.
"I asked what class you have next." He smiled at me.
"Oh, S-sor-ry I-I…." I started to say.
"Breath, and think through what you are about to say." He said kindly.
"Okay, Sorry I kind of zoned out. I have English next. Sorry I stutter." I said rumpling on.
"Oh that's awesome! My brother has English next." He said with a smile.
"Okay cool, what is his name?" I asked. This time I remembering to slow down.
"Derek, Derek Souza. Hey, would you mind talking to him? He's not really big on it, but I'm sure you could get him to talk." He said very kindly with a star smile. I agreed despite my shyness.
Derek's PROV.
I walked up to my English teacher. She was a woman with dark hair and brown eyes. I introduced myself and she kindly greeted me before pointing me to my seat. She thankfully gave me a seat in the back of the room. I sat down and pulled out my home work from the last class and started on it.
As minutes passed, more and more students made their way into the class. I kept my head down, even though I could feel their stares on me. There were two remaining minutes before class started. I finished my homework and I started reading a physics book. When it was a minute from the bell I could smell it. That divine sent that would drive me to my death. The very sent that made my senses go insane, and wake up my wolf. I could feel my heart pumping, and my blood pressure was rising. I was getting reckless. I could feel my wolf purr in pure bliss. I had to get a hold of myself. She was just in the same room as me, after all. What would I do if I had to talk to her? I can't believe I let it go this far. I had only just met her, but somehow I was finding myself in love with her. I couldn't believe I let the wolf talk me into the nonsense of her liking me, not to mention just talking to me. I had to get a hold of myself; it was never going to happen.
Movement caught my eye. Chloe was looking right at me. She was standing beside the remaining empty seat in class. Her seat would be right next to mine. My wolf woke at the smell of her sent and began running laps with in my mind. He showed me classroom fantasies that I quickly ignored. I put a wall in between the wolf and I to quiet him down. I needed to have full control over the situation. The girl I was quickly falling in love with has the same class as me. We will be stuck in the same room for a full hour and her seat happens to be next to mine. I would have to smell her divine sent for a full hour before lunch. Her sent would be on my clothes. Speaking of Chloe she sat in her seat and set her books beside mine. Her sent was like a cloud all around my face. I took a deep breath in to get high off the scent and sighed a breath out. Her sent was all natural- she did not wear perfume.
Chloe straightened up in her seat. She searched her desk for a moment before slouching her shoulders in defeat. Chloe sighed and leaned back over to get a pencil. Her movements stirred the air and sent her divine smell in my direction. I felt a small smile creep up my face. I kept watching her from the corner of my eye. She heaved herself back up and turned to me. She smiled a beautiful smile paired with a blush that made my heart thump. My stomach went to my throat from that smile.
"Hi Derek, how has your day been?" She asked. Her voice sounded like an angel form above. I couldn't believe she remembered my name. My wolf broke through my wall and began acting crazy.
"It's been okay. What about you, Chloe?" I asked right back. I could not help but be kind to her. She just seemed to care. She was so easy to open up to.
Chloe smiled.
"I'm good. How do you like it here?" She asked so sweetly. Gosh, she will be the death of me!
"It's okay," I smirked. Wow, I feel like I've known her forever! She never had the time to reply to me, because the teacher started the class.

"Hey Derek, wait up!" Chloe yelled after me. I mentally flinched at the loud noise. Everyone turned to watch her run after me. By the time she caught up with me she was out of breath.
"What is it?" I asked. I was trying to hold back the bark in my voice. I did not want to snap at her, she has been nothing but nice to me.
"I was just going to ask if you wanted someone to sit with at lunch." She said.
"Aww, look at her trying to be nice. Say yes so we can see her more." My wolf said.
"Nah, I'm good, but thanks." I said. I ignored the protest from my wolf. I could not fall for her anymore. She would be better off with someone else.
I walked alone to the cafeteria. I ended up buying three slices of pizza, two milks, and an apple. That should put a dent in my appetite. I nodded to Simon and saw Chloe. She sat at a large table surrounded by lots of her friends. I left the cafeteria to eat in the library. I just needed a break from people.
