Chloe's POV

I woke up in the morning in a great mood. Last night I was able to finish all my homework and I even picked up around the house. I got ready and made it to school at a reasonable time. I was able to talk to a few friends and start making plans for this weekend.

I said a quick goodbye to my friends and ran to my locker. I plowed right into someone and fell to the ground. I looked up to see a familiar pair of glairing eyes. I groaned and stood back up.

Tori started to fuss about how much of an idiot I was and how I should look where I was going.
"Ugh, to think you're who he spends all of his time with…" she muttered.

"Sorry, but I have somewhere to be," I said and turned away. Tori grabbed my arm and she sneered.

"Listen Blondie, don't hurt him, and in fact just don't bother him," She sneered and left me standing in the middle of the hall. I rubbed my surly bruised arm and rushed to class.

No surprise I was late to class. My history teacher just pointed me to my seat. Today had a good start, but it was taking a bad turn. I was just glad that the teacher didn't give me detention or some other punishment. I really had to be more careful about my timing. I was going to get detention sooner or later. It wasn't my fault it was Tori. Every time I'm late she caused it. I should just avoided her.

The rest of my morning classes were easy going and simple. I made it to English early, but of course Derek was already there. I sat in my seat and smiled sweetly at him.

Derek's POV
I loved that smile of hers. I would do anything to keep it on her face. It lit up her entire face. She looked as happy and beautiful as she naturally is.

"You're so whipped," my wolf accused. I internally groaned. I really did not need this right now.

"Love you too," he said back. I will just have to ignore him.

"Hey, Chloe," I said. I hate to admit it but that dumb ass wolf was right. She had me wrapped around her thin fingers.

"Of course I'm right, and calling me a dumb ass is the same as calling yourself one out of context, bub," he snarled back at me.

"Hey yourself," she said smiling. Good God those lips.

"That's what she said."

"Really that was not even cool in 2007." I told my wolf

"Whatever." Finally he was gone, but it would not be for long.

"I have a question for you," Chloe said.

"Ask away," I replied.

"What do you want to do ab-bout the pro-j-ect? When-n d-o yo-u…..."

"-Slow down it's just me." I interrupted. I did love her stutter, but I wanted her to be able to talk to me freely. She blushed a deep crimson. I loved her blush as well. I had to smile at that. She took a deep breath to calm herself.

"What do you what to do for the project? When do you want to meet? Where do you want to do it as well?' She asked with her head down.

"Whenever is okay for you. I don't have plans," I said softly. I could tell she was embarrassed. She just nodded her head. I looked out of our conversation to see the class was filled and the bell was about to ring.

"Class is about to start, wait after so we can talk?" I asked. She just nodded. I turned to the front as the bell rang, and our teacher entered the class room.
