Befriending Him

Part 1

  Walking into the school building known as my personal hell away from hell itself I was jumped by my best friend, Charlie and Torelai. Charlie and I go way back. All the way back to our diaper days. Our parents were best friends so we had been around each other our whole lives and I think our parents were trying to set us up together at one point, but anyway we didn't meet Torelai until the 6th grade at Van Helsing Elementary school.

"Oh my god Torelai you're going to end up suffocating my best friend you dork. I kind of need her to be my wingman with the ladies, so let gooooo!" Charlie screamed pulling Torelai off of me. "Charlie you suck,  I was just showing  my best friend some love. After all, I have been gone for a 2 week vacation." Tore said sassily at Charlie. "Oh how could I forget, it was the best 14 days of my life with you gone." Charlie plays around with Tore.

"You guys need to serious stop fighting. Can you guys act your age for once in your lives?" I asked already knowing the answer which was a big fat. . . "No" the replied in sync.

At the sound of my name and turn to see who was calling me. I saw Carson waving his hands and motioning for me to come over which was weird because we aren't really friends but I walked over anyway. "Um, hey Carson. What do you want?" I questioned not in the mood for games. "I need your help with something but before you say no, please just hear me out, okay?" Reluctantly I nod my head yes.  "Well, get on with it." "Oh, right. Well as I said before I need your help but it isn't for anything bad or anything that would risk your soon to be alpha position. So well, it involves your best friend, specifically Torelai." He says rushing his words that I could barely understand. Oh this is definitely good, I've never seen Carson so nervous over anything, well maybe except for . . .

Realization hits me like a bullet to the stomach or a slap to the face. This will most likely not end well, but why not have some fun. "So as I was saying, it involves Torelai because well . . ." "She's your mate am I correct there?" I say cutting him off of his probably mess of a sentence, oh well. Looking shocked Carson shook his head indicating that I had just guessed correctly.

"I'll help you"  I say kind of bored and already knowing he will agree to what I will ask. "Thank you so much . . ." "On one condition. You have to join the pack and become my beta." I say with absolutely no emotion. "If you'll help me with Torelai then I will join your pack and become your beta, but I have to ask why. Why me?" He asks, his voice fully of happiness, probably because of the fact that I agreed to help him, and curiosity. "Well, even though we don't know each other much I feel like I can trust you with everything, that and you are beta material soooo . . . if we're done here I'm gonna go. Get me when you want my help, anytime." I said before waling back to a glaring Torelai and a concerned Charlie.

As soon as I reached my friends, Torelai stomped off looking pissed and something else that I can't recognize . "Um . . . what's wrong with her?" I asked Charlie getting a shrug in response but I'm pretty sure he knew why she stomped off. Oh well, she can deal with her pity party by herself, I will be getting on with my life. Soon the bell rings and I'm off to class.
