My Life With My 10 Werewolf Brothers

The Thing About Jace

We all go to our first hours, and then Chase and I take our seats. Since the teacher is not in the room yet, we have free time till he comes.

"So, what did you do last night? We all got together, Jace was really bummed that you weren't there." Chase says with a smirk. Jace is a guy that my friends are trying to get me to date. There nothing wrong with Jace, I mean I would jump in his bed any day. I just want to find my mate.

"I had a rough night." I say and Chase looks at me in confusion. "Ty, found his mate and she is coming home with him today."

Sadness flashes in his eyes. "I'm sorry." He says as the teacher comes into the room.

"Alright class! Let's dive right in. Turn your text book to page 28." Mr. Dary says and we all turn to that page.

"I didn't get any of that!" Nora says as we walk out of American History.

"Maybe it was because you were to busy text Adam." Markus says as he walks out behind us.

"Really? Nora again?" I ask as we reach our lockers.

"Sorry, I can't help it. I miss him so much."

"He goes to this school, you have classes with him, and you just saw him 45 minutes ago." I point out. Adam is Nora's mate, they just met a few weeks ago.

I put my stuff in my locker, and as I am grabbing my phone out someone comes up right beside me and says "Hey, Babe."

I turn and look. Jace is standing right next to me. I smile at him. "Hey,"

"I didn't see you yesterday."

"Yeah, I had some family stuff." I tell him. He frowns.

"I hope everything is ok." Jace says.

"Yeah, don't worry it will." I say, but don't meet his eyes. I grab my phone and see that I have a text from Shawn:

Change of plans. Ty and the rest got here early. Lend is coming now to pick you up. Be ready.

I grab out all of my stuff from my locker as the rest of my friends talk.

"So how about we all go get a burger for lunch?" Chase asks all of us. We all say yes, but Jace and I.

"I would love too, but if Ginger would let me; I would like to take her to lunch." Jace says. Nora "aww"s in the back ground.

Everyone looks at me; waiting for my response. I look at them, and then I look at Jace.

"Um, I would love too. But I have to go. Sorry."I say and he frowns.

"Um, okay. But now you owe me." Jace says with a smirk.

"I don't like where this is going. So I am going to go." I say. Then I say good-bye to everyone. Jace follows me.

"Hey, are you okay?" he asks me as he falls into step beside me.

"Yeah,"

"Oh, okay. Do you really have something or are you just trying to get out of going out with me?" he asks.

I face him. "Jace! I actually have something. My brother just texted me. I have to go home."

He holds his hands up in defense. "Sorry, I was just wondering."

"Look Jace, you are a great guy. I really want to date you, but what happens when we find our mates? I just don't want to get caught in the middle."

He is quite and then he speaks. "I understand. But I still think that we should be friends, we have so much in common." He says and I shake my head yes. "Just let me do one thing." I shake my head yes again.

He starts lean forward until our lips connect. His lips move against mine.

Not bad, 7 out of 10.

He is really a great kisser, but there isn't anything that makes my stomach do flips.

We pull back. "Well I better go. That is my brother right now." I say and point to the black SUV pulling into the parking lot.

He shakes his head. "Okay, I guess I will see you around?"

"Yep," I say and he starts walking away. "Jace!" I call and he turns around. "Thanks. Thanks a lot. For everything."

He chuckles. "Anything for a friend." He says and I smile. We turn and walk away from each other.
