Derek's PROV

I am so late! I was supposing to meet Chloe and hour and a have ago-I hope she is still there. Please don't be mad Chloe! It is all Tori and Simons fault.

I let Simon know I would be staying after school today. He told me he would catch a ride with one of his team mates. I thought he would have enough brains to tell Tori, but no. So, to my surprise when I went to my car there was a very pissed off Tori. She was leaning against my car with her arms crossed. She yelled at me for twenties minutes and demanded that I drive her home. Of course I had to be stopped at every red light between the school and home. The universe must really hate me.

When I finally got back to school I doubted Chloe would even be there. I expected to come in and see the Library empty, but it was not. When I walked in I looked over the Library in the farthest corner I saw Chloe with her feet propped up. She had papers scattered all over the table and floor. I let go of the door and made my way over to her. When the door swung shut Chloe looked up and smiled at me sweetly. She marked her page and started to organize all her papers. I sat down beside her and looked through her math test.

She was not as bad as she clams. I had seen much worse. I helped her for about an hour and checked over her homework.

"Can we have a break? My brain hurts." She asked.

"Ok, Sure." I said. I got up and starched my legs. I reached up and I could feel my back pop. I looked down to see Chloe doing the same thing. She was reaching to the side. She reached over and touched the floor with her hands flat.

"Nice view here." My wolf purred.

I made a second look at her. She was bent over at her waist her hips curved out and her butt was sticking up in the air. Her shirt had followed her body movements and went down with her. I could see her lower back. She had dimples by her butt. I could see her spine roll over. I could not help to agree with the wolf.

I shook my head and looked away as she stood up.

"Didn't I tell you I was bad." She said with a shy smile.

I smiled back and shook my head. There I go again with the not acting like myself. It was so different with her. It was so confusing; it was like I did not have to think about what to do around her. I kind of liked it though. She was easy to be around. I actually cared about what she had to say. I noticed more things that I did not normally. While I became lost in my thought Chloe had wandered off somewhere. I took out my phone and texted Simon.

Did you get home ok?

-D

I closed my phone and put it back in my pocket. I started to wander around looking for Chloe. I found her in the horror section. This was going to be too easy. I started to walk up to Chloe. I made sure my shadow would not cross her vision. Then my phone beeped. Simon had texted me back. Chloe jumped a foot in the air. I took my phone out and clicked to view the message.

Yea

-Si

I put my phone back and looked at Chloe she was looking down at the floor. I cleared my throat.

"Do you have a way to get home?" I asked. I had not come up with anything better.

She blushed. "I'm walking" she said not looking at my face. She was walking this late at night? Not on my count.

"No you're not, I'll take you home." Her head shot up too look at me. Her mouth opened in protest. I shook my head. "I will not let you walk home this late at night." I said in a stern voice. "Do you have anything else you want to do for math?" She sharply shook her head. "Ok then, let's go. If that is ok with you." I said looking into her eyes.

"No, Its fine." She grabbed her bad and meet me by the front door. She sweetly waved to librarian and followed me to the parking lot. I walked over to the passenger side and held the door open for her.

When both Chloe and I were in the car with seat belts I looked over at her. "Where do you live?" I asked her. I had to pretend that I had never been to her house before. She told me directions and I headed it that direction. The car ride was quiet. I could hear gravel popping under the tires. She told me the drive way to pull in to. I drove the car up a large hill and for the first time saw Chloe's house. The house was really large. It was at least two stories. There was a pretty front porch full of plants and a seating area. It was a beautiful home and all, but it just looked so empty so alone. I just did not picture this to be Chloe's home. I'm not sure what I did picture, but this was not this.

"Well this is me. Thanks again for the tutoring. I'll see you later." She said as she un-bulked her seat belt and opened the car door.

"Yeah, it was no problem. Good night Chloe." I said. She nodded and smiled she grabbed her bag and got out of the car.

I pulled out of her drive way. I turned in the direction of my house and honked the horn. I could see Chloe on the porch waving. I drove down the street. A though in the back of my head told me that she was home alone in that big house tonight. I heaved a great sigh and drove home.

I hello to Simon and Dad and grabbed food off the counter. I passed Tori's room and I could feel her glare as I passed. I finished eating my dinner in my room before I took my shower and got ready for bed.

Chloe's PROV

I went into my math class full of anxiety. I heard a rumor that we were having a pop quiz. It was time to put what I had learned from Derek to the test. I took a deep breath and started the quiz. I was proud to say that I understood all the questions and I felt like I got most questions correct. I handed my test in with a smile and began to write a screen play. It had been so long since I sat down and wrote. I got so into my story line that I never heard the bell ring. Stack of books were dropped by my hand. I looked up to see coal eyes glaring down at me. It was Victoria –Tori- Bae. Simon and Derek's sister. I had heard many things about Tori and not many of them were good. She was pretty as others has said. Her skin was clear and her features were sharp. Her dark hair was spiked into a pixy cut. She had a lean body like Simon. I looked back at her face too see if there was a resemblance there too. They had the same eyes and nose but her mouth was in a permanent frown.

"Would you like to move anytime soon?" She asked

"Um I-Ii-I….." I stutter back at her she was very intimidating. I really did not like the thought of making her mad. I did not know what she would do and I did not plan on finding out any time soon.

"Well are you?" She shrieked at me.

"So-orry I'm-m goi-ing." I said keeping my head down as I packed up my things. I scooted out of my seat and made my way around her. My foot caught on a chair leg and I fell down. My books scattered across the floor. The other students in the class started to laugh at me. A blush that had risen up to my cheeks darkened in color. I keep my head down and restacked up my things and stood back up on my feet. I walked out of the room and rushed for English. I just hope my teacher wouldn't be upset. I walked into my English class five minutes late for class.

My English teacher was not at all happy that I was late. I was yelled at in front of the class causing me to blush and stutter. I was thankfully was not given a detention. On my way to my seat I fell again and I knew this time I would have a bruise. Derek looked sorry for me when I looked over at him. I gave him a smile to let him know I was just fine. The class was simple and easy. We were about to start a big project and we were allowed to pick our partners. Everyone was very excited about that. The majority of the class stood to go to their partners. I just sat in my seat waiting until I was given a lesser choice of partners. I heard a throat clear and looked over at Derek. He gave me a shy smile. I smiled at him brightly.

"Would you like to be my partner?" I asked. Derek nodded his head in agreement.

Derek and I walked out of the class together.

"So, how do you want to do this, partner?" I asked him jokingly. He looked down at me and surged his shoulders.

"Do you want to do this in school, out of school, afterschool-"I let the options drag on.

"How would after school tomorrow work for you?" He asked no looking at me in the eye.

"That would be fine," I told him with a smile.

We said our goodbyes and went our separate ways.
