“Don't forget to head to the daycare after school today” mom called after us as Winnie, my eight year old sister, and I headed out the door to get on the bus.
“Alright mom, see you tonight” I called back as Winnie yelled “bye mommy.” Taking her hand, we walked to the bus stop talking about how we thought this school year would go.
“I hope my friend Nova is in my class” she smiled happily.
“Nova? Whose that? I don't think I've ever met her” I said glancing down at her.
“You've seen her at the day care center though. Her brother usually comes to get her, I think” she said thoughtfully.
“hmmm, I'm not sure. I guess you'll just have to point her out to me later then” I said glancing over at her again. Laughing, she said “I wonder what sissy and miss Kay have planned for today.”
“I wonder. Hopefully, they let you guys do something fun though” I shrugged since I usually didn't participate. Normally, I had too much homework to do so I'd sit at our sister's desk with my headphones in working on it while we wait to head home but since it’s the first day of the new school year, I’d probably just draw. Lost in thought as we made it to the bus stop, I almost didn't feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. Pulling it out, I chuckled when I saw a message from my best friend, Reyna Ortiz.
[Little Witch: Hey, good morning handsome. How is my favorite wolf boy?]
[Wolf Boy: Hey gorgeous. I'm good, Winnie and I just made it to the bus stop. How's my favorite witchy witch?]
[Little Witch: I'm good. Mom just dropped me off at school. Are you going to the daycare tonight?]
[Wolf Boy: Yeah, mom wants us to ride home with Aurora. What about you? You going home with Kayden?]
[Little Witch: Yeah, mom and dad both work late tonight. Oh, I've got your schedule too. We're in most of the same classes except two.]
[Wolf Boy: Cool, thanks little witch.]
Getting on the bus, I thought “I wonder if Sebastian will be in any of our classes.” Taking our seats, Winnie pulled out a book to read while I put in my headphones and looked out the window. Waving at Winnie when she got off twenty minutes later, I waited until it was my turn and disembarked immediately heading into the building to find Reyna. Heading to my locker, I saw an all too familiar head of brown curls and smiled. Hugging her from behind, I pulled out my headphones as she said “well good morning to you too, Micah.” Kissing her cheek, I whispered “good morning, little witch.” Giggling, she asked “you know you're the only person who can call me that and get away with it?”
“I know. So, what's our schedule look like for this year?” I asked putting all the text books in my locker since I wouldn't need them today.
“Well, we've got all our morning classes together then we split after lunch for two classes and then we're back together for the end of the day” she said fishing a page out of her book bag. Handing it too me, I nodded and put it in my bag. Closing my locker, I said “come on sweetie. We should get to class.”
“Yeah, not that they're doing much of anything” she said turning to follow me.
“True but that means we can just talk all day” I said as we walked out of the building passed the group of skateboarders that were hanging out by one of the railings along the handicap ramp. Glancing sideways out of the corner of my eye, I saw the gorgeous dark red hair of Derek Valentine the next Beta of our pack, the Valley Pack of Blacksburg, Virginia. When I didn't see my crush, I refocused my attention forward again as I saw Reyna roll her eyes before she asked “you know he doesn’t even know you exist right?”
“Yeah, I know. I just think he’s pretty though” I mumbled rolling my eyes as we passed my crush, Sebastian Quincy, a silver blue haired god who was looking down while doing a kick flip. Rubbing my hip as we walked, Reyna asked “is it hurting again?”
“Nah, it itches but that’s it” I said glancing back as we walked into the building just as my wolf, Ronan, made an odd snorting noise in my head.
“What’s with you?” I thought as I followed Reyna into our first class. Taking a seat by the windows that looked out over the middle of campus, he said “things aren’t always as they appear.”
“Okay... That tells me exactly nothing” I thought back as Reyna asked “hey, are you okay?” Pointing at my head, I said “talking to myself” which she understood was code for talking to Ronan since we were surrounded by humans as well as the supernaturals. Glancing out the window as I played with my moon pendent that all wolf children wore to hide what we are and our magic, I saw the gorgeous silver blue haired boy adjusting his black beanie as he listened to the group of guys including Beta Derek before looking around, making the silver hoop he wore in his nose sparkle like a diamond in the sunlight, like he knew someone was watching.
“Geez, can you stop staring at him?” Reyna asked as I glanced over to see her rolling her eyes.
“I wasn’t looking at who you think I was” I snarked rolling my eyes as well thinking she thought I was watching Derek.
“Oh, then who were you staring at?” she asked. Glancing around the room, I tapped my head to tell her to use her magic to talk to me.
“Okay... why the secrecy?” she thought as I turned to look back out the window.
“Look out the window. See the skate boarder with silver blue hair wearing a black beanie?” I asked glancing sideways at her as he glanced around again.
“You mean Sebastian Quincy?” she asked.
“Yeap, that’s who I was looking at. I was admiring his athleticism and wondering if he was doing some other trick. He’d been doing a kick flip when we came in the building” I thought back glancing back out the window just as said boy rode his skateboard off the sidewalk doing another kick flip in the process.
“I see why you’re infatuated” she teased making me look over at her with an ‘are you serious’ look making her laugh. Looking back outside, he must’ve sensed someone watching again because he’d paused and was looking around campus before shrugging and going back to skating around. As we watched him, she asked “this is going to sound like a weird question but when can you find your mate again?”
