Hey everybody. I've been reading these stories for a while and I decided I should submit one of my own. Now I'm new at this so bear with me.
oh yeah. p.s. all people in this story are over the age of 18. :-P
------------------
"Oh my god! You're seniors for god sakes! Come on. I know you know this. Think!"
April was dying. Could this be anymore torture? She had gotten the answer about ten minutes ago while everyone was still stumped. She didn't raise her hand though, because truthfully, she liked watching the vein pop and pulse on Mr. Clark's forehead.
April was getting tired of the screaming so she was going to raise her hand when there was a knocking on the door.
"Yes? Come in."
A tall brunette walked into the room. She was wearing loose low rise jeans and a black band t-shirt that revealed a couple of inches of bare skin on her stomach.
April found herself staring at that smooth line of pale flesh. Her mouth starting to water, she quickly shook her head to bring herself back to reality.
She looked up and was greeted with a knowing smile of perfect teeth. April swallowed hard. Did she know what she had been thinking? Shit! Was she that readable?
"Well Miss Reeds, you can sit next to Miss Mckensi."
She walked down the aisle towards April with a huge smile on her face. April looked into her goldedn eyes and realized that they weren't breaking eye contact.
She could just feel the sexual tension filling the room from every male body in the room. While hate and loathing was pulsing from every girl, except herself.
----------------
She knew she had walked into the right room when she felt the pull on her soul. She didn't know what to expect of her destined mate until she scanned the room and locked gazes with the small raven haired girl in the back row.
She wore no makeup, her hair was cut short to her head, and her large clothes covered up where Cassy believed she would find a great body.
Her stare made her shiver and tingle all over. Yes. She was her mate, the one who would make her whole.
When Mr. Clark told her to sit next to her, she became extatic. She could smell the lust and hate emmenating from the bodies in the room but it didn't even make her react. All that mattered were the pine green eyes holding hers as she took her seat.
----------------------
"Hi. I'm Cassy."
April just stared at the hand extended in front of her.
"Are you alright?" Concerned eyes searched and seared her.
April blinked. "Oh. I'm sorry. Hi Cassy. I'm April."
She took her hand and almost jumped at the warm tingling that went up her arm and rested in the area between her legs.
Cassy's eyes got bigger and her smile wider as if she had felt it too. At that a strange thought passed through her head. 'Mate'.
--------------------------------
Class went on and on and on. This was going to be tricky. How was she going to get April to open up and accept her as her mate? She didn't know anything about her, but she wasn't ready to give up. She just got started. She had to convince her they were supposed to be together.
-----------------------------
"Would you like to eat lunch with me?"
"Excuse me?" Did she just ask me to eat lunch with her?
"Ummmm..." April blushed. "Would you like to eat lunch with me?"
Cassy's mouth fell open. She blinked. "Yes! I'll have lunch with you."
April bit her lip. "Okay." Then she turned back to face the front of the classroom.
She asked me? to lunch? Okay, so maybe this wasn't going to be as hard as she thought. She didn't even have to make the first move. Maybe this would work.
She couldn't help grinning to herself.
-------------------
Did she really just ask her to have lunch with her? Where had that courage come from? But she knew. It was because of the tingle. She hadn't recognized it at first but she did now. She had to think back to the things her mother had talked about when she was younger. When her mother was still alive.
Her mother had spoken of finding your second half, your soul mate, your mate. Most people couldn't recognize the signs when they found their mate. But April wasn't most people. She was something more. Her mother had been a 'were'. She could shift into a wolf. She had believed that one day April would be able to as well even though her father had been human. Her mother had said that when she first saw her father she had felt an overpowering urge to strip him down naked (her mother had been very open). And when they touched, it was like there was electricity running all throughout her body.
This is how April was so sure Cassy was her mate. Even though April hadn't been able to shift, yet, she could still smell and hear, see and feel better than any human.
Her problem was now to try to convince Cassy they were destined to be together. Like that was going to be soooo easy. Yeah right.
--------------------------
"So where do you want to go for lunch?"
"Ummm... I dont care. Anywhere that serves good burgers is fine with me." Cassy grinned.
"Well then. I know the perfect place. I'll drive." April got into the drivers seat while Cassy got into the passengers and they pulled away.
-------------------------
They pulled into an elegant 2 story tudor home.
"Where are we?"
"My house. My parents left it to me after they died."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I've been on my own for a while. No big deal."
"So why are we here?"
April grinned. "I make the best hamburgers in town."
---------------------
She was in her house!
Cassy wasn't quite sure how that happened. If she didn't know any better she might think that April did it on purpose. Was trying to seduce her.
She laughed at that thought. April wouldn't try to seduce her. She doubted she even knew what Cassy had planned for her 'mate'.
"So Cassy. Tell me about yourself." April said while opening the hamburger.
"Well let's see. I moved here from Canada with my family. They'd love to learn I met..." my mate "...a friend already." She smiled at April. "Ya see, I'm not a very social person. I tend to be more of a loner."
"Yeah me too. I must say that if you wish to be popular, being my frind is going to make that a little dificult. People tend to stay away from me. I guess it must be the animal in my blood."
Cassy stiffened. Had she just said she had animal in her blood? "Animal in your blood?"
