Trouble by Me =/ (free ereaders .TXT) 📖

looks between our glaring match, confused. 

"Nothing." We say in sync, which makes him roll his eyes. Which means he looked away first. Hah! Suck it Evergreen! "Sky lets go." I tell her, spinning around to get in my car, but a warm hand on my arm stops me.

"Dont test me Matthew." He walks off with those words, leaving me standing there with mixed emotions. I shake my head to rid of these thoughts and climb in.

"What was that?" Sky asks. 

"Long story short, I met an a-hole today." I say. She simply nods, and begins telling me more about Drew. Apparently he asked her to the winter dance that's happening on Friday night. We quickly get to Jade, and I rush down the road, wanting to be left alone in my room, blasting some music. A black blur jumps into the middle of the road suddenly, and I swerve to avoid it. After almost crashing into trees from the forest, I quickly pull over. The black creature disappeared into the woods. "Are you two alright? I'm so so sorry!" I apologize but they both assure me they're just a bit shaken up. "Stay here with her." I tell Sky, and then run into the forest.

Chapter nine

 ~Matt~

 

I here Sky and Jade screaming from me to come back, but I keep running. Why? I dont know. I'd like to figure that out myself. I come to a tree-less circle and stop. The black blur, happened to be laying there, in all of its wolfy glory. I slowly approach it, (I never said I was smart!) and it slowly looks up. It let's out a low growl and stands up, by I continue moving towards it. I really am dumb. The wolf is hella big. Its probably up to my stomach on all fours. I puts my hands up as the it growls again, and slowly lower myself onto my knees.

The wolf slowly approaches me, growling as it comes. I can tell it's a male, just by how it holds itself. I raise my hand up when it stops in front of me, and at the speed of moslasis, put my hand on his snout. He tenses for a moment, and then seems to melt into my touch. I catch a glimpse of his golden, practically glowing eyes, before they close and he lays down, putting his head between my arm and chest. I sit down further, my legs crossed, and in a trance as he moves his head from my elbow to my lap. I continue petting his soft, pitch black fur for a while. He seems to be calming down slowly, and I cant help but to smile.

"Matt??" Someone yells from a distance. This breaks both the wolf, and me from our trances, and hes back to growling. I quickly get up, and run back where I came from. Although, as far as I ran, I couldn't find the car. What the hell? I come to another clearing, but this one full of little houses everywhere, and one really big house in the center of it all. I turn around confused, but honestly, I have no idea where I came from. I hear a growl, followed by a few more, maybe ten, and then an animal is pouncing on me, knocking me to the ground.

I open my eyes, to sees a wolf looking ready to rip me in half, baring its teeth. What's with all the wolves today? A guttural growl stands out among the rest. All the others stop growling and lay down in an awkward position, and the one on top on me nips a little to close to my face, for comfort, and gets off me. I half sit up, propping myself up on my elbows. When I do this, I come face to face with the wolf from before, also looking like hes going to attack me.

I can immediately tell the difference between his and the rest of these wolves. Where his eyes are golden, the rest have blue or red eyes, and hes slightly bigger. He must have been the leader or something? I dont know, I never liked science so I dont really keep the knowledge. He shakes his head and leans his head down. I flinch and close my eyes, thinking hes going to bite me or something, but when I feel nothing, I see his looking up at me with amusement twinkling in his majestic eyes. I could get lost in his eyes, kind of like Cade's. 

He shakes his head again, but the amusement doesnt leave his eyes, as he pulls the sleeve of the hoodie I decided to wear today between his teeth carefully. He slightly pulls, and I take it as a sign to get up, so I do. He turns around and the wolves surrounding us make a path so he can get to the forest. He turns to me and nudges his head the direction of the woods, so I hesitantly follow him. I follow him until we reach a different clearing, which holds two freaking out girls.

"Matt!" They both scream. They run over to me and I have them in my arms in seconds. 

"I'm so sorry girls." I sigh at myself. 

"Why did you run in there? And why is your sweater torn?" For the first time, I realize that it is in fact torn. Stupid wolves.

"Um I dont know. I wanted to make sure it wasn't hurt and then got lost. But then..." I trail off as I turn around to find the wolf gone. Right. "Um, let's go. Dads probably worried. I really am sorry."

"Its fine Matt. That thing came out of no where." Sky says. I smile at her.

"Yeah. But did you find it?" Jade asks excitedly.

I contemplate how to answer this. Do I say that I did and have to explain everything? Or do I lie and save myself a confusing story I dont even understand myself? "Um, no. I went and got lost though." I laugh, effectively derailing the topic.

"Hey Matt. I talked to Cade, and hes mad at me, but I dont care. You're sitting with us today." Kyle stops in front of my desk, with George and Tessa behind him, nodding.

"That's not necessary." I tell them but they all shake there heads and insist again. "Fine." I sigh. They smile and make their way to their desks. As usual, classes drone on until finally lunch arrives. I'm a bit more hesitant to walk to my table, but I'm pleased to find that my typical seat isnt taken this time.

"Heyyyyyyyyy Matt..." Tessa begins as I sit down.

"Oh God." 

"You know the winter dance this Friday?" George continues for her.

"Absolutely not."

"Well, too bad. You're coming with us." Kyle finishes, leaving no room for discussion.

I study the group for a moment, and roll but eyes but I cant help the smile that makes it's way onto my face. "I hate you guys."

"Aww! We love you too!" They all say together, and before I can respond, someone sits down across from me. They say a simple 'hi' and go back to talking about meeting up to get clothes, but my eyes stay drawn to the person before me. How are he and Kyle brothers? Kyle has dirty blonde hair, and blue eyes, where Cade has pitch black hair with those captivating emerald green eyes. Speaking of, they snap to me and he looks me up and down (as much as he can seen as I'm sitting) and rolls his eyes. I roll mine right back and try to ignore him but it's hard.

God, why did you have to make something this good looking? It shouldn't be possible.

Chapter ten

 ~Cade~

 

Why was he back all of the sudden? He wasnt supposed to ever be back. We moved for a reason. To get away from him, so I could focus on my duties to train to be the alpha of my pack. Being a werewolf isnt easy as it is, we cant have distractions. Like him. He was- is, my only weakness. Now hes... my... I can't even say it! I mean I, I have a girlfriend. He can't be... No. No, I'm just a hormonal young adult, and that's messing with my brain. That's why.

I feel his eyes on me so I turn mine to meet them. The last time I saw him, he didnt know I was me. He thought I was some weird wolf. I mean, he isnt wrong. I let my guard down and was acting like a weak human. But God, his touch just... I cant even describe it. It sparks something inside of me, that I havent ever felt. I never thought I'd feel anything like it.

Which is why I have to make myself hate him.

I can't let him distract me. Not again, not after last time. If I get attached, and my father finds out, he'll take me away again. I can't do that to either of us. 

I don't realize that as I'm thinking this, my eyes rake up and down his body, the best they can. Wow... Hes amazing. Yesterday, I wasnt paying attention and almost killed him and his sisters, and yet he still came after me. Hes also really good looking. At probably 5' 8", 5' 9", he has caramel colored skin, his mother being Latina, that make his deep, dark brown, almost black looking, eyes stand out. His fawn colored shaggy hair compliments both beautifully. God, hes turning me into a fucking girl. I roll my eyes at my thoughts, and he rolls his back before turning back to the conversation my brother and friends are having. 

His hanging out with them again brings me back to yesterday. Why did he stick up for me, when I was being a complete dick to him? I literally almost choked him to death (not that I tried to! I'm used to fighting wolves where I can use my full strength) yet... The panick in his eyes couldnt be mistaken as he looked up at me, trying to get me to agree.

This brings me to something else. How doesnt he remember me? We were so close... So so close... I told him things I'd never tell anyone else! I was always there and what, he just... goes and forgets about me??? Maybe I had every right to treat him the way I did. Asshole. I cant believe that I'm over here obsessing over someone who couldnt even bother to remember me.

We dont know the full story, Cade.
