Chapter 120
I was half way through my second period. For the life of me I couldn’t concentrate. I hadn’t seen Ryan yet but I knew he was here after speaking with Abby in English.
They had been hanging out a lot but didn’t have a title yet. Mr Gallagher had been on at me about Yale again, I still hadn’t submitted my application. The due date was in less than a week. Did I really want to go there?
Was I even smart enough to go there?
Interviews weren’t my strong point.
Alanna dropped me off at school this morning but was ditching. Something to do with a shopping trip with Carter and a dress. Lacey who I hadn’t seen for days was housebound with the flu. I didn’t think werewolf’s got the flu.
I hadn’t seen Carter in a few days either. He wasn’t staying with us but personally I think he was avoiding gran. We hadn’t all been in the house together at the same time yet.
Maths was almost over but I had completed my work ages ago. It’s one subject I knew I could ace. I hadn’t heard from Jake since the morning. I woke up to a cute little message. He was still focused on finding the rogue wolfs. Packing away my stuff I couldn’t wait to get some coffee. I didn’t have time to get any this morning. As the bell rang signalling class was over I slipped my bag over my shoulder. I had a free period next and chemistry before lunch. I didn’t see him until I was knocked on my ass, my phone slipping out my hand. I was lucky I didn’t fall on my broken hand.
“Shit beautiful I didn’t see you”. As he helped me to my feet I frowned. I hadn’t seen him before. “Ah fuck”. He sighed holding my phone.
Please don’t be broke.
“Kidding”. He winked handing it to me.
“Are you new?”. I asked as I started walking towards the cafeteria to get some coffee.
“Is it that obvious?”. He smirked. “Names Rocco”. He sure did have a cocky attitude. He gave off the bad boy vibe. Walking about with the leather jacket and sunglasses covering his eyes.
It was heavy rain outside. I bet he had a motorcycle.
“First day?”. I asked pushing the door open. I remember my first day well.
“You still haven’t told me your name p>
“Leah”. Putting some money in the machine I waited for my coffee to brew before adding some milk and one sugar. “Haven’t you got class?”. I asked stirring once and putting a lid on. “Haven’t you got class?”. He smirked as I started walking towards the library.
“Free period”. Making a face I pushed the door open to the library and went inside. I was hoping to get some studying in before chemistry. I would rather do it alone but it didn’t look like Rocco was going anywhere soon. He took the seat across from me as I pulled out my books. “Do you have your schedule p>
“Nah”. He yawned scratching the back of his head. “Not meant to pick it up till tomorrow. Thought I’d scope out the place first p>
“Shouldn’t you be doing that then?”. Opening my note book I continued with the questions from my last class.
“Nah schools school I mean p>
“Really Rocco. Hiding in the library”. A girl stopped by the table. I could tell the were related. They had the same eyes. “Come on we have to go”. Glancing at me her grip on her bag tightened before her gaze fell to the floor. “Guess I’ll see you tomorrow beautiful”. Winking at me he got to his feet and left with who I presumed was his sister.
Weird!
Taking a sip of my coffee hands covered my eyes causing me to jump. “I hope you’re not cheating”. Swatting his hands away I grinned as he grabbed my note pad. “You do these?”. He asked.
Chewing the end of my pencil I watched as his eyes scanned over the page. I had become quite good at writing with my left hand.
“How’d I do?”. I asked as he sat beside me.
“Looks like your brain is taking something in from class”. He grinned.
“Very funny”. Taking my notebook from him I slipped it into my bag. “So when are you asking Abby to be your girlfriend p>
“I don’t do girlfriend shorty. Got any sweets?”. Searching my bag be pulled out my twizzlers.
He didn’t do girlfriends?
“Does she know that? And don’t eat them all p>
“It’s all good Leah”. He smiled.
Something was off. “She put the breaks on didn’t she p>
“Apparently we’re moving to fast, wants to slow down a bit. So I agreed with her and backed off p>
“Ryan”. I really thought something more was going to happen between them.
“Didn’t even get into her panties”. He smirked.
“You’re a dog”. I laughed.
“I’m kidding p>
“Plenty of more fish in the sea p>
“Can I be in your sea?”. He winked.
Oh god!
“Never gonna happen”. Ryan and I were friends and that’s all we will ever be.
“Still hanging around with Jake?”. He asked.
“We’re not talking about me p>
“How am I meant to shoot my shot if I don’t know if you’re single p>
“You’re not shooting anything”. I grinned. “He would kill you”. Jake was jealous and very protective of what was his.
“I could take him”. He smirked.
If only he knew.
“I met a new student today p>
“Is she hot p>
