One mate and a Rejection

Chapter 33

PART 1 Chapter 33 — 03 My head came in contact with somebody's and I almost fell back if they

hadn't grabbed my shoulders.

I looked up and rolled my eyes when I saw John laughing out loud,” I just saved your life.” I shrugged

his arms off and retorted,” You almost killed me first.” “Over dramatic isn't me this morning.” "Yes,

physically too,’ I warned.

He held his hands up in surrender,’ What's wrong?"

“Nothing,” I replied as we headed down the hallway, just didn't sleep well.” "Oh? Are you sure?

Because maybe you're still in daze from staring at Blade for a full minute.” I blushed and whipped my

head to look at him,’ What are you talking about?"

"Don't even bother lying.

Lisa and I saw the whole thing.

You guys couldn't stop staring at each other.

Lisa went crazy.

She said you guys were having a ‘moment’,” he made quotation marks in the air.

I rolled my eyes,” I'm never gonna hear the end of it.

Maybe I should just fake sickness,go home.” "That still wouldn't save you.

So what is going on with you and him?” “Nothing,it's just awkward because he saved me from the

rouge and alland I saved his pack from being moved somewhere else."

“And he saved your life again by taking you to the hospital when you fainted.” "He didn't save my life.

It wasn't life threatening.” "You're just too stubborn to admit that you like him.” “But I don't!” I snapped

as we entered our class,"

End of discussion.” He chuckled and muttered,” Why are you getting so mad?"

But when he saw the murderous look on my face,he backed off.

Lunch approached imperceptibly and I found each class really hard to focus in.

I kept squirming in my seat,restless for the whole period just prying myself off of thoughts about him.

I sat in the cafeteriasmunching on my turkey sandwich and sipping on my lemonade,awaiting the

alarming arrival of Lisa.

She arrived two minutes later and squealed out loud when she saw me.

“Hey,” I muttered,and pretend like everything was casual” What's up?"

"Don't you even try that Emerald! Don't you even try,because I saw, saw, saw,I saw, saw everything!”

"What?"

I took a bite out of my sandwich,’ Are you seeing things?” John hopped up from behind her and placed

his hands on her eyes, Guess who?"

She pried his fingers off and snapped,” This is so not the time! Emerald,'m not stupid!” "What's going

on,’ John took a seat beside me.

“I don't know.

I was just sitting here,eating my food like a normal person and then your girlfriend just popped up out of

nowhere and started obsessing over something that never even happened.” “Why are you getting so

mad than if nothing had happened?"

Vet out a sigh over just how much her and John were alike, I don't know what you're talking about! I

don't even know Blade!"

“AHA!” she screamed,” I never said Blade! Why would you assume I was talking about Blade? Oh

right,because you do know what I'm talking about!” My eyes widened and I wondered how Id let her

trick me so easily, I need to pee.” She grabbed my shoulders and shook me; I don't think so! You guys

had a moment!” "SHH!"

I hissed,looking around to see who had heard.

My heart dropped to my knees when I noticed an amused seeming Blade looking in our direction.

He let out a chuckle when he saw my embarrassed face and looked away.

“Stop Lisa you're embarrassing me!” "Okay okay,sorry.

But you really like him don't you? I know how you get when you like someone.

It's never been this extreme! I mean,you guys were staring at each other for a full minute! I heard your

brother calling out your name all the way across the parking lot,and you didn't!"

"I don't like him! He's an enemy,remember? Also,I don't even know him!” “Alright,fine,but I'm here when

you wanna talk.” I nodded,” Thank you.” The rest of the day passed quickly and I managed to

successfully avoid Blade all through—out science. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Jared and Jasmine were all lovey as usual during the drama but it didn't seem to affect me as strongly

as it used to.

By the time the clock ticked three exactly,I was debilitated.

I snapped my locker shut and it wasn't until I reached the parking lot when I realized I had no ride.

Jason had driven me here,my car was at home.

I pulled out my phone and texted him.

He replied a couple of seconds later saying he headed back to his apartment with Amanda.

I sighed and remembered that his apartment was half an hour away.

‘I'll find a ride; I texted back.
