(Jayden's POV)
"Well... I don't know his name. All I know is that he was in my first period. He's the one who sits on the other side of the room."
"I'll never let him touch you again." He growled. I could tell by the sincerity in his voice that he meant it.
He then grabbed my wrist that felt sore before kissing it. It instantly felt better.
"Woah." I said in astonishment. "How did you do that?"
"It's a secret." He winked. I blushed. No one has ever winked at me before. It made my chest flutter and feel strange.
He suddenly grabbed the back of my head and placed his lips on mine in a searing kiss. It ignite a flame inside me I didn't know existed. The kiss was wrong but felt so right. I didn't even know why I was kissing him. I barely knew him. In fact I only knew his name. In the back of my mind, I noticed that the rest of his friends had seemingly disappeared into thin air. They must have left when we were... Occupied.
I didn't know what this kiss meant. Was he kissing me because he wanted to get with me? Was he kissing me because he actually liked me? Was he kissing me for some... Other reason?
I didn't think bunnies could get mates. Normally we mated with whomever. I could tell from the moment I met him that he was a wolf but I didn't think anything of it. Wolves always feel their mates before anyone else. I never in a million years thought he would look my way.
"W-wait, Aiden!" I stopped his hands that seemed to have a mind of their own, roaming my body. I didn't want this to go that far. I didn't even know if I wanted this at all.
"What is it, Jayden?" He asked, looking into my eyes with those green emeralds. I hesitantly wrapped my arms around his torso, not really knowing what to do in this situation.
"I can't do this. I barely know you." I blurted out, not really thinking about filtering my words better. His hurt expression told me I didn't explain right.
"Look," I started, hoping I could get my point across without hurting his feelings. "It's just that we don't know each other very well and I don't think we should rush into anything yet. I know I have these strange... feelings towards you but I can't fully understand them yet. I don't even know if you feel them too. I just think we should wait to get to know each other first before we go any further. I want to take things slow."
He stared into my eyes for a long moment before nodding with a small smile.
"Of course, Jay. Anything for you." I thanked him before standing up. I held out my hand for him which he gladly took.
"We better get back, it's already lunch time." I said smiling cheekily. He nodded and followed behind me, grabbing the pillows and blankets while I carried our book bags.
These feelings are so weird. So foreign. I've never felt anything like this before. It's really strange to think that I, of all people, had a mate...

It was now the end of the day and I was at my locker, dumping some stuff while grabbing others. I didn't have too much homework today but I did have a report coming up in English and I might as well start it now so I don't have to worry about it later.
As I was walking outside I saw Aiden and his 4 friends all with him. When Aiden noticed me his face brightened and he walked towards me with a smile on his face.
"Hey Jayden." He said before kissing my cheek, making me blush. He chuckled and ruffled my hair before asking if I wanted to walk home with him.
"Um sure." I said, looking at the ground. He smiled and nodded, grabbing my hand as we walked off the school campus. I almost dropped my books from surprise but one of the twins caught it just before it hit the ground.
"Sorry, I can carry it." I mumbled.
"No it's fine, I don't mind." He said with a smile before ruffling my hair just like Aiden had earlier.
I just complied, not bothering to disagree with him. I had a feeling even if I wanted to carry them, he wouldn't let me.
Suddenly I felt my bag being lifted off my shoulder on my free side. I looked over to see that the one named Hunter, I think, was holding my bag with a smile.
"Um..." Before I could say anything, he waved his hand as if to brush me off.
"I know you can carry it but it looked heavy so I thought I would help you out. You're welcome." He said, tapping my nose. I flinched away from his hand before turning my head forward, not bothering to argue with him either.
In a matter of seconds, all of my belongings were being held by on of Aiden's friends. It felt weird and it made me a little uncomfortable having them carry my stuff for me as if I was incapable.

(Aiden's POV)
Jeez, this place looks awful. He actually lives here? Cameron muttered as he scrunched up his nose.
This is the address he told me. I said, positive he didn't make a mistake.
What are we supposed to do now? Alex asked, looking around as if something was going to jump out and attack him at any moment.
I feel wrong letting him go inside a dump like this. Hunter mumbled.
It's not his fault that he doesn't live in a nice house. Not everyone is as fortunate as we are. I don't want to hear anymore on the matter. I snapped, stopping all conversation as Jayden stared at his feet.
It was as if he knew what we were thinking.
"Thank you for walking me home and carrying my stuff for me." He said as he took back all of his belongings.
He was digging through his bag, grabbing his house key I'm assuming.
We walked with him up to the door and he was about to unlock it when we suddenly hard footsteps coming from inside.
Jayden went ghostly pale as he tried pushing us away.
"You guys have to go, now!" He whisper yelled. The fear and worry on his face seemed so sincere. If he had something he couldn't tell me then I would just have to respect that.
"Okay, come on guys. We'll see you tomorrow at school." I said.
"Okay, just please go. Hurry!" He cried as he gently pushed us farther away from the front door.
I heard the footsteps move closer to the door.
As I was walking away I saw a shadow of someone through the window. Jayden wasted no time in rushing in the house.
"Jayden, who in the hell were they?" I heard a woman yell.
I didn't know what to do in this situation. I was afraid he was going to get in trouble with us being there. His mom just might be strict, if that woman even was his mom.
The worry I held for him wouldn't subside. I didn't want him to come to school tomorrow in worse shape than he was before.
I hope everything is okay...
