Chapter 5
How I Ended Up Here Part 2
"Hey Mr Richardson, Clara Thyme just started she's running a little late because the principle asked me to show her around, you know get her more familiar with her surroundings and all that"
"Ah, yes I have been notified"
"If you would like to come in Miss Thyme and take a seat or do you plan to stand there all day because as you have probably have figured I have a class to run" a scowl appeared on the middle aged man's face.
Mand as she insisted on being called turned round and whispered "you can thank me later, wait for me after this lesson and girl take a chill pill everything is going to be fine" with that she walked past me retreating out of the classroom.
Haha chill pill? Please tell which pharmacist I can get that from. But I knew I would have to thank her late from the looks of things Mr Richardson was a one of them teachers, me being late on my first day would probably not have sat well with him.
Snapping out of my thoughts I realised I was still standing the door way. My all the blood rushed to my cheeks as about twenty to thirty students simply stared at me. I refused to make eye contact with anyone I'd never felt so embarrassed in my life.
Scanning the class I saw an empty seat next to dark haired pretty brunette girl.
"Right well Miss Thyme since you've disturbed our class enough why not come up here and introduce yourself?"
Is he kidding me right now he waited until I sat down to tell me that... wait a minute did he just say I have to introduce myself as in stand at the front and actually talk?
Ohh crap .
All the air left my lungs, taking deep breaths I walked back to the front.
It was dead silent I could hear my footstep with every step I took, it was actually deafening. I would simply stare at the ceiling I told myself however at the last moment I decided against it I didn't want to be regarded as the weird girl on my first day that would mean I could kiss good bye any chance of making friends.
I'm going to make eye contact with everyone but only for a few seconds as I didn't exactly want to freak anyone out. Yes that's what I will do
"Well erm my names Clara Thyme and I just moved here actually from erm.....
Just then my eyes landed on the most handsome guy id ever laid eyes on, movies were included in the hotness and everything else simply faded. He was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. My knees began to go weak. My eyes raked over his shirt, his muscles were popping out I studied every part of him slowly making my way to his face, his lips, his noses he was simply beautiful I couldn't even think of another word.
When my eyes reached his my heart began to stammer.
My breath caught it was like a chord pulling, willing, yanking me to look not allowing me to look away.
It was luring me in I was simply lost in his mesmerising eyes. Forest green just like the tree tops from my secret place there was so much darkness in them but something else too shock perhaps. Oddly enough I felt like I could reach into his soul like it was mine for taking.
I felt like I was falling falling into him but safe so very safe and alive so damn alive.
I needed him.
My brain was beginning to do away with itself.
Who was this guy?
"Miss Thyme"
"Miss Thyme"
"MISS THYME! would you like to continue" He looked like he was irritated now.
I forced my eyes away from him.
Ooo god this was so embarrassing.
All eyes on me were on me for sure now and right then I decided I wanted to die.
A bit dramatic but exactly how I felt.
I'd never been more embarrassed in my entire life.
I continued my voice had gotten a little more weaker but I started again " as I was saying I just moved here a few days ago from Edinburgh so erm yeah"
I looked Mr Richardson's or shall I say Mr Grumpy Pants to show I had finished.
"Well you may sit and thank you for the most wonderful introduction" he said ever so sarcastically.
Prick.
I made my way back to my seat refusing to meet the eye of anyone particularly the boy at the back but I could feel his eyes on me making my heart pound so loudly I was pretty sure everyone else could hear it too which only embarrassed me further.
What the hell was happening?
"Well that looked as awkward for you as people usually describe me" the pretty brunette girl with hair up to her waist whispered as I sat down next to her a genuine smile.
"Believe me awkward does not begin to cover what the hell I was feeling there"
"Trust me it was not that bad you should have seen my introduction speech on the first day I stumbled on my words and somehow managed to convinced people I have a foot fetish and chlamydia without even knowing" she reassured.
"Haha your right that does sound worse" I whispered back with a giggle. And somehow the dark haired brunette had made me feel a little better.
"I'm Dora Khaleesi by the way, and before you even say anything about the Khaleesi or Dora my dad is huge Game of Thrones fans and my mom loves Dora the Explorer literally everything in my house is of Dora, so basically they gave me a name that ruined my life"
"Clara which you already know via my crappy introduction nice to meet you though and for the record Games of Thrones is awesome and so is being named Khaleesi and so does being named after Dora the Explorer I used to love that when I was a younger it was like my favourite of all time.
To be honest I found it a little odd but at the same time so cute my mom was always telling me I needed to act my age and I had just met someone who's mom watched Dora the freaking Explorer it was cool.
She began to giggle "believe me my parents are not exactly the definition of normal"
"Being named that and attending this school is not a good combination believe me it practically means you're a loser well to most of these people" I frowned people didn't like her because of her name? she seems so lovely that's when I started to realise I would probably hate this place.
"Anyways you know I've always wanted to go England it's like my freaking dream" she said swiftly moving on.
"Believe me its rather dull"
"Awww your accent is so cute" Dora went on to whisper.
"Erm thanks and right back at you" A little confused but hey whatever right.
We talked quietly for the rest of the lesson and by the end of the lesson we had become fast friends.
All the while I made sure not to turn around I didn't dare look at the beautiful guy a few rows behind me.
As the bell finally boomed I made my way out I know Amanda said to wait for her but what if she was only saying it to be nice?
I decided I needed to go to my locker but I couldn't seem to remember where it was even though not too long ago I put my books there the same books I now needed.
After walking around for what felt like years I did finally did locate it the corridors where empty people by then had gone to their next period. Fudging fabulous I was going to be late again. As if my day couldn't get any worse.
213A my locker.
Just then I was painfully shoved into the lockers and spun round. I could feel little sparks followed by pain as the large hands began to squeeze my shoulders.
I was then faced with the most beautiful face I'd ever seen again. His dark eyes captivated me and I was then truly lost in them. I searched into them. It felt like I was staring into his soul. His gorgeous eyes were a mixture of deep green and brown with golden rings they looked like they held so many secrets and I wanted to know them all.
Whoa where did that come from?
You need to get a grip Clara. I kept silently chanting.
However he then dropped his arms from the tight grip he had my shoulder in and the pain along with the little shock impulses disappeared bringing me back to the wonderful world of reality.
Wait a minute did he just grip my shoulders?
"Not you" He beautiful voice was laced with a thick layer of disgust. The kind of disgust hard to miss.
His eyes were becoming darker.
"You don't deserve the title, you're weak, you people sicken me" His dark menacing words continued as my gut twisted and fear along with confusion and pain made its way up. His eyes were now fully black.
Was that even normal.
"I Alpha Cole Adam reject you Clara Thyme as a mate, as such the claim to Luna has been withdrawn."
My heart twisted and filled with unbearable pain and the worst thing was, I had no idea why.
People like me? How the hell was I weak I once won my dad in a wrestling match. Okay I was seven and I have a feeling he let me win but I have totally become stronger.
And what was I like? He didn't even know me yes I had made a fool out of myself last period but how dare he!
Reject you as a mate? He was rejecting me as his friend? What the hell. Well I didn't even say I wanted to be his friend in the first place.
"No you want to be more" the voice of reasoning in my head began.
"Shut up clarii he said he doesn't want to be our friend remember" I shot back.
And Alpha? What in the world was an alpha? What in the world was a Luna? He is clearly bat shit crazy as in I need to be sent to an asylum crazy ASAP.
Before I could question him or what the hell he was on about he was gone. Like vanished when did he even moved? How did he manage to get out the corridor so fast? I then realised that I was so lost in my thoughts that's probably why I didn't see.
My kept screaming out two questions.
What in the world had just happened?
And why did it feel like my heart, soul and hope had just been broken?
I suddenly felt like nothing would ever be the same again.

I'm going through all my work and i don't know why but something doesn't feel right with it? If that makes sense, I wanna finish this but first I need to make it right. This summer I will be back to writing this I swear. But I feel as though it may not be taking the direction I had originally planned.
