My Kitten

Chapter 4

"Hey, there is no need to kick her ass for me okay. Plus we don't want to start a pack war" I say trying to calm her down.

"Fine but I am still mad at her even though she's my best teammate," she says while crossing her arms. Since we are a school filled with different packs, creatures, and humans, we are all bound to want to play the same sports as one another. When different packs and creatures are on the same team, there is a pack that is made where there is no beef and they should all be friendly so that they can crush the other teams. They are actually really good friends with each other but don't say that to their faces because they will all deny it. Nova and Dakota are good friends with each other because they play basketball and lacrosse together since freshman year. Sadly they never could really hang out because they are in enemy packs and Rudi is her best friend, and we all know that Rudi and Nova are enemies with each other always trying to beat each other in anything.

I laugh and say, "And that is okay" trying my best to hold back my laugh. When Dakota gets mad, she can be scary but she is my best friend and I don't get scared of her easily. The bell rings signaling to us that we need to get to class. We get out of the stall and I go to the sinks and get myself together, so I don't look like a mess today. I even decided to put on some lip gloss.

"Come on Tala, let's go before we are late to class," Dakota says.

"Alright, alright I am coming," I say while getting my backpack and leaving the bathroom with Dakota and once we get out, Nova is standing there right outside the bathroom leaning against the lockers. Once she sees us leaving the bathroom she stands up straight and looks into my eyes. I can't look away from her, she is just so beautiful. She is a little taller than me, maybe 5"10, with light brown eyes with her short curly dark brown hair that I want to play with so bad.

"Nope, not today sis," Dakota grabs my wrist then turns towards Nova "she is not going to talk to you" then walks away pulling me along with her. I sigh and just follow behind Dakota, we walk to our classes and say bye to each other. It sucks today because we don't have any classes together, so I am going to be bored all day. I make it to my class just in time before the bell rings. I sit down at my desk and pull out my notebook and start to write things down that the teacher is putting on the board. After a while, I start to zone out and think about everything that is happening. The worst part is that I can't get the picture out of my head of Nova and Koko kissing each other. I know that Nova and I are mates but we haven't officially said it either, but the mate bond is still there so she has to feel something. I mean she could have been standing outside the bathroom to say that she was going to reject me for all I know. I thought about this in every class, and going over and over it in my head almost like I am insane. The last bell rings to signal that the day is over. I pack up all my things and walk toward the gym, but I stop myself. It is kind of weird now because I normally get a ride from Rudi every day then I watch his practice then he would drive me home. Now that we broke up, he won't have to drive me or I would have to wait on him, but I did drive Dakota today so I have to wait on her now. I can't really go to the gym because I don't want to see Rudi because of the whole break up and finding out we are not mates. Nova is in the gym too and I can't see her right now either. Great, now what should I do? I think for a second then come up with the idea to go read a book outside until practice is over. I walk to my locker because I remember putting a book in there one day for days like this. I go to my locker and put in the combination then open it up and balloons fall out of it. I am shocked at first and I push the rest of the balloons out of the way to see flowers, a teddy bear, a note, and the best of all chocolate chip cookies. I know who did this, their smell is all in my locker, Nova. I can't believe that she did all of this. I didn't even think that she would do all of this, including since she kissed Koko. Maybe it was an I am sorry gift. I open the note to see what it says
