Why does this have to happen today of all days. It was working just fine when I drove here earlier. Now I'm wondering if I forgot to turn off my lights again. Thinking of it now I do a quick check and of course I did turn them off. If that's not the problem then I'm not sure what else to do at this point. I check the time and see that I've wasted about a half hour messing with my car, now I have about twenty minutes to get to school. 

Great, now I'm definitely going to be late and I'm going to get an ear full from dad. After we did the morning patrols he asked me if I needed a ride, but I reminded him that I had rounds at the pack house before heading to school. It's already been twenty minutes since I realized that my car won't start. Shifting was looking like a great option right now, but quickly nixed the idea. Showing up to school in my wolf would definitely set my dad off, I'll rather just be late and take the punishment. The school was only a ten minutes drive from here but walking takes about three times that. 

I was about to walk back to the pack house to see if anyone was available to give me a ride, when one of the soldiers called out to me. "Morning Jax, having car trouble?" He asked pointing o my car. I nodded, "I don't know what's wrong with it this time. I was just about to see if there was someone who was willing to drop me off at school." 

He pointed to his jeep and said, "Well you're in luck. I'm heading out now, I can drop you off since it's on my way."

 I smiled and thanked him as I grabbed my bag and gym bag from my car and locked it up. Getting into the jeep I turned to the soldier who I remembered name was Mr. Carson, "Thank you again for the ride Mr. Carson. Dad just had my car looked at a couple days ago." He was already pulling out of the parking lot as I buckled my seatbelt. "No problem, we wouldn't want you being late on the first day back, am I right?" Smiling, I shake my head. I definitely don't want to be late and on the first day back too, that would look bad for me being the next Alpha and all. Plus dad would be livid when he found out, speaking about the old man, I pulled out my phone to send him a quick text.

        Me:~~ Hey pop, just a quick update.

          Um.. my car won't start, I'm not sure what's wrong with it this time. 

           I'm already on my way to school though. Mr. Carson offered to give

me a  ride and we should be there in a few minutes."~~

    I didn't want him to see my car and think that I didn't go to school. The rest of the ride to campus was done in a comfortable silence with some classical music playing softly from the radio. As we pulled into the gates, I could see a few people still making their way inside. Scanning the sidewalk and parking lot to see if I saw any of my friends, after a few scans I finally spot them by the main entrance. With all the chaos with my car I forgot to text them about my car trouble. Once the jeep came to a complete stop, I thanked Mr. Carson once more before he drove off. My phone chimed, reminding me to set it to vibrate, then checked to see who sent the message. 

    Dad:~~ I was just about to call you about that. 

                 Are you at school now? 

     Me:~~ Yes pop I just arrived, I'm heading in now.

Before I could put my phone back into my pocket it vibrated with another message from dad. 

     Dad:~~ Did you thank Mr. Carson for giving you a ride?

I rolled my eyes, he knew if I didn't he would have already heard of my rude manners.

  Me:~~ Of Course I did pop, I thanked him multiple times for helping me to get here on time. 

I only had to wait a couple seconds for his reply which made me smile. 

   Dad:~~ Smart ass! I don't know who you get it from. Have a good day son. See you at home.

  Me:~~ Thanks pop you too.

"Yo Jax, why are you so late my brother?" I looked up just as my two bestfriends Mitchell Charles and Sara Morales, who also happens to be his girlfriend, made their way towards me. We've been friends since we were born. All of our parents also grew up together and are still friends even now. My dad doesn't let his duty get in the way of family and friends. He makes it a priority to attend any events or get togethers. Mitchell pats me on the shoulder. "Oh, um my car wouldn't start so one of the soldiers Mr. Carson gave me a ride." Mitchell laughed while Sara shook her head while looking at him. "Well at least you made it on time. Come on I still have to make a stop at my locker before first bell." Sara says as she starts walking toward the double doors. 

People were either rushing around to find their class or reuniting with their friends. The three of us broke off to go to our lockers and planned to meet up next to Sara's locker, because it was closer to our first class which we surprisingly had together. On my way to my locker a few people stopped to say hi and continued on their way. After placing my gym bag in my locker, I grab everything I think I will need for the first few classes. I double check that I have everything and start making my way back towards Sara's locker. Just as I was about to turn the corner a small curvy body collides with mine. I wrap my arm around the small body pulling it closer to me before they could fall backwards from the impact. I mean I'm quite a solid guy at 6'5", my dad has trained me everyday since I was able to walk. Plus I like to stay active so I play a few sports but swimming is my ultimate passion but I refuse to do it competitively. I feel as though it would take the fun out of it.

"Sorry, I'm so sorry! I wasn't pay attention to where I was going." The small voice brought me back to the situation at hand and the small body still in my arms. I knew that voice, I took a small sniff of the air and my wolf became very alert. I looked down just as the most captivating light green eyes I have ever seen looked up at me when I didn't respond. I felt his body stiffen once he realized who was holding him. He quickly steps away from me, keeping his head down. He mumbled something, then he grabbed his friend's hand and continued down the hall very quickly. If I wasn't a little irritated I just might have found his retreating form funny. My eyes were locked on to him until he turned the corner out of my line of sight. 

 "He's still running from you huh?" I grunted my reply, It's not like I don't know why he is this way around me, I wasn't all that nice to him when he first moved here. Trust me I regret it very much now, especially because he's my mate. Apparently he doesn't know it yet or he is avoiding it. I hope it's not the latter, even though I would probably deserve it. It's not like I can ask him about it since whenever he sees me he runs in the opposite direction. The three of us entered our classroom and immediately went to the seats in the back by the windows. Our teachers walks in just as the bell rings a couple seconds after we sit down. Just like that our first day back has officially started.
