I stood there wide eyed and confused. All the guys had formed around me right before i saw Brian jump over the edge of the stair railing and disappear. "Clair, Clair, you ok?" Charlie shiook my shoulders and waved a hand in front of my face. Still, I stood there frozen. What did he mean 'Mate'? As in Mate as friend. Like "Yeap Ozzie, he is my mate" Then yeah we were mates. So were Charlie, Chris, and Jacob. Or did he mean the soulmate type thing that I heard my mom tell me stories about when I was little. The wolf stories. But she had meant soul mates. What does Brian mean by what he said and why did he say it about John? I am so confused. ugh I hate this feeling. "uh yeah im fine. Lets just go" I spun on my heel and sped down the stairs looking for John. He would proably be at his step brothers or moms. Deciding on going to the step brothers first, I turned in that direction. The walk would give me time to think.
Lets think about the facts now. 1. the guys always told me to stay away from Brian. 2. John would be furious everytime Brian was around me or even talked to me 3. I get tingles from John. How do you explain that? Chris's jogging footsteps appproached my ears, then so did the others. "Aye Clair! Wait up girl!" Not wanting any company, I kept on walking. Soon enough he caught up. "So i bet you have some questions." I kept my eyes forward and kept walking. "No. Im fine." I really didnt want them answering any of my questions. Especially Chris. His explainations arnt always the brightest. No offence to him. "You guys should go. Im going to go to home." Chris suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Isnt your house that way?" He jabbed his thumb behind him and gave me a questioning look. "I....uh.....Have to go pick some things up for my mom. She has some personal items i need to pick up, Im sure you dont want to be there." I know it was a lie but i needed them off my back. I needed to find John. I needed answers. The type of answers I know John wouldn't say in front of the guys. The guys finally caught up to Chris. "Whats going on?" I bit my lip and looked at Chris pointedly. "She...uhh...umm....has to go get some stuff. We..uhh... we all can play video games at my house." All the guys expressions changed and they fist pumped the air. "Okay lets go then!!" I turned around and kept walking when i heard they were leaving. Their voices became hushed as i walked further away, hearing glimpses of their conversation. "She.....she is!.......gonna freak........he is trouble.....she fine" Soon thier conversation started to go on about girls and the way thier asses were. I blocked them out when I heard Shelly Ashfords name. She was a horrible little thing. Tall, skinny, and stuck up. I didnt need to hear about the way her body looked.
I turned around the corner to Jeremih's house. (Johns step brother). thank God they lived close to the school cause i wouldnt have given the effort to walk longer than this. My mom still hadnt gotten me a car even though i knew how to drive. 1,2,3 houses down. 4th one to the left of Windemere Street. I stopped right in front the mini mansion in front of me. it was quite the scene. stone pathways, lilles and lilacs fillinf the bushes and surrounded the base of the big oak tree that sheltered the house. Though it was simple, it was magnificent. I love stuff like this. Walking up to the house, the scene surrounded me. Before i got to the door, it opened up to Jeremih leaning against the door post. "Whats up beautiful, come to see me?" Jeremih scanned me and then smirked. I wave of disconfort stretched through my face as I walked by and into the house. A loud growl came from the left room. "Uhh that was Toby. He probably didnt know who it was. What a BASTARD of a dog." Jeremih yelled out. Out of the corner of the kitchen, toby waddled out. The gray american bulldog came towrds me and tried pawing at my leg. "Hi toby!" I crouched down and started petting the dog. The growl and toby's atttitude did not match. "Um Clair, John is in his room. Unless you wanna ditch him for Toby. " Another smirk played across his face. Jeremih helped me up and shooed toby off of me while I headed towards John's room.
I tightened my fist taking some of the sweatshirt sleeve with me. Before actually knocking John had already opened the door. My eyes scanned his half naked body. Damn was he fine! Slightly tanned skin, the nice eight pack, and those juicey biceps. NO STOP!! NOW!! Geez. I shouldnt be looking at my guys that way. "Hey" I spoke quietly. Embarrassed that i even looked at him, my eyes stayed staring at the ground. "Hey, uh come on in." John took a few steps back and let me walk in. I have been in his room before but not with just us in it. Of course the guys were always there. Now it was just us. Alone. In a room. Oh Shit. I sat down on hisbed and put my back against the way. John took a seat beside me and sighed. He knew what i was going to ask already so might as well come out and say it. A few moments past while we stared at the wall in a conforting silence. "So mm, what uh happened today?" I slightly turned my head to look. I wonder what he is going to say
