I ignored the eyes that I could feel watching me and paid attention to the teacher. I was here to learn and pass my senior year. I wasn’t here to worry about why most of the school population was watching me like I was going to try and attack them at any moment.
In my next class, Blake walked in to the room and when he spotted me he smiled and shook his head.
I narrowed my eyes at him as he walked over to the empty desk beside me and dropped down into the seat.
Was there no escaping this guy? He seemed to be everywhere and it was starting to annoy me.
“Miss me?” he asked with a smirk.
“I can’t miss you if you won’t go away,” I retorted and he laughed.
“Cade is going to love you,” he murmured to himself with a grin and I rolled my eyes at him. I had no idea who he was talking about and I didn’t care.
“What pack did you belong to?” he asked under his breath.
Pack?
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I replied, slowly but surely losing my patience with him.
He studied me for a moment, looking a little shocked as he leaned forward in his seat.
“You really have no idea, do you?” he asked softly.
“Did you forget to take your medication today?” I asked, studying him with faked concern and he laughed.
“I can’t wait for Cade to meet you,” he murmured to himself, clearly enjoying his private joke. He made absolutely no sense to me.
I made a point of turning slightly away from him, signaling to him I was done with the conversation.
For the rest of the lesson, Blake watched me quietly but didn’t talk to me again. Even after the lesson ended and I stuffed my books into my bag and walked out of the class, he remained seated, watching me with a grin.
I had to force myself to leave before I turned around and wiped that grin from his face with my fist. He was so annoying and the majority of what he’d said didn’t make a lot of sense.
At my locker, I leaned my head against the cool surface and took a deep breath to get my temper under control.
Between the strange looks, weird smells and Blake’s odd conversation, I was so confused. There wasn’t much that was making sense at the moment.
I took another deep breath before I straightened up as I felt my anger begin to subside. I opened my locker and took a book out before I closed it with a bang.
After another pep talk with myself, I made my way to my next class. I could do this.
By lunchtime I still had no answers to all the strange things I was noticing. I got myself some lunch and made my way to an open table in the middle of the cafeteria.
The strange smells that I’d smelled from the time I’d walked through the school entrance this morning hit me full force as I sat down at the table.
The distinct forest, woodsy smell came from the group that Blake sat with and the fresh-rain smell came from another group sitting on the other side of me. How was that possible that all the people in the specific group all smelled the same?
That was odd.
As my eyes connected with Blake, he smiled and waved at me. I ignored him and began to eat my sandwich.
I wondered how long it would take to get a restraining order against Blake? All it would take would be a phone call to one of my lawyers. I was really tempted.
“Can I join you?” a soft-spoken voice asked. I looked up to see a pretty girl with long blond hair that nearly reached her waist and wide, expressive blue eyes flashing me a friendly smile. She was dressed in a denim miniskirt and a white button-up shirt.
“Sure,” I said and she sat down opposite me, sliding her tray onto the table.
“My name’s Keri,” she told me before beginning to eat.
