Scarlet Pov
"Scarlet, bring your luggage into the car quickly! We have no time left." Mom screamed as I try to arrange my hair for the last time. I stared at my reflection, and I looked good to go.
I’m scared that I might not fit in among the students at Virginia College. There are a lot of weird things I heard about the school, good and bad, and I hope all my suspicions are wrong.
“Yes, mom, I'm coming!" I scream back as I pull out my luggage from the bed and go out of my room. I shut the door and stared at it for a moment. I’m going to miss the comfort I find in this room.
I place a kiss on the door before letting go of the knob, and I run outside to meet mom, who is sitting in the driver's seat and has her seat belt on already.
I’m going to miss my mom too; she is all I got although she can be so annoying most times. I love her. I smiled at her as I got into the passager seat. Are We good to go?" she smiles.
"Yeah, we are good." I give her a small smile as she turns away to focus on the road. I glance at my house before we drive off.
I wouldn’t be home for a long time because my pack school is far away and I can’t frequent home.
I plug in my earphones, trying not to think too much about the college. At the same time it is exciting to be in college, and I can’t wait to enjoy the experience.
"So well, are you prepared for this?" She winks, I take off the earphones when I notice she is talking to me.
"Mom, I didn’t catch that." I tell her and she turns to repeat what she said.
"You don’t have goosebumps about this new trip of yours right?" She squeals, being careful of the drive as she speaks.
"No, no, I don’t think so." I nodded, biting down my button lips. Maybe I’m a little bit nervous, I say to myself.
"That’s great; we will be there in a short while." She goes quiet, and I have nothing more to say. I plug my earphones back in, but her question can’t stop playing in my head. "You don’t have goosebumps, right?"
I exhale and yet again try not to think too much about the college.
"And by the way, don’t forget to introduce your boyfriend to me. I know for sure that we will be having one anytime soon because the full moon is tonight!" She seems more excited than I am. I know the full moon is tonight, but I don’t expect to find my mate anytime soon, especially not in this college.
"Gross." I whisper, enough for her not to hear me as I roll my eyes. For now, I have no interest in having a boy in my life unless I find my mate, but not now or tonight.
There’s no way my mate and I can be at the same college. He could be somewhere far away, and one day we will find ourselves and love each other like we should.
As I’m about to plug in my earphones, I see the gate of the college. Jeez, I’m reminded that my mom is a bastard driver. She drives so fast. I’m not surprised anyway, because she’s won many awards in car racing.
"We are here, Scarlet; prepare yourself." She mumbled as she turns her hand right into the parking lot, and all I did was stare outside the window.
My mouth falls open when I see it is such a beautiful school. Everywhere and everything looks gorgeous. It’s everyone’s dream school and I am so excited to be here, but at the same time, I feel I might not really fit in as I see some of the students. I look very odd and different from them..I underestimate myself for a second.
"Get out, Scarlet; what are you waiting for?" My mom yells me out of my thoughts. Maybe I’m just overthinking.
As I step out of the car, I immediately meet this pair of green eyes. A guy watches me with a weird eye, and from his expression, he can tell that I’m new.
"Hey, Noah, let’s go." His friend pulls him from behind, and I feel nervous at his stares. He smirks at me before he turns to speak to his friend.
Those stares were so strange that I quickly threw my glance off him and follow my mom as we headed towards the ladies hostels.
I had already gotten my room but had yet to find out who my roommates were. My room is on the last roof of the building.
We find my room number and begin to knock on it until a girl comes to open the door. As we step in, we see the ladies in just their undies, and they are all gisting and laughing. It looks like we interrupted them.
"Hey ladies, are you good?" My mom waves at them and I try my best to let out a smile too.
“Yeah, ma’am," they respond. It didn’t occur to me that I would be having three roommates, which makes us four in the room.
I grab my luggage from my mom and drop it beside my bed. I need to see my mom off before I begin to arrange my stuff on my own. I smile at the ladies again before I go out of sight, shutting the door behind me.
"Be good, baby. I will miss you." My mom kisses me on the cheek.
"I will miss you too, mom." I kiss her back as I wave her goodbye before she gets into the car and begins to drive. I continued to wave until she was out of sight.
I return to the room, and the ladies are still chitchatting. "Hi, I’m Scarlet James, and I’m one of you from now on." I smile as I introduce myself.
"New student, huh?" The girl with a brown hair smirks at me as she chuckles.
"Well, yeah, I’m new." I nodded with a plain smile.
"Welcome, new girl, I’m Bella." She sucks up, spitting the words out like it’s too hard for her.
"Welcome, Scarlet. I’m Jane," she says, coming off the bed and pulling me into a small hug. She seems a little more free than the first, who just asked if I was nice. Jane is a blonde, and she looks perfect.
"Welcome too, Scarlet; I’m Maria." The girl with the jet-black hair has waves.
"Same here, Scarlet; you are welcome. I hope you have fun here, and by the way, I’m Cora." She smiles. She has a gorgeous smile, by the way, but I didn’t get to tell her that. They seem to have an interesting discussion.
I walk back to my bed and behind it to arrange my things while they go ahead with whatever they were discussing.
As I pull my luggage into my bed, I hear the same name I heard just a while ago. That same guy that smirked at me a while ago
"I can’t wait to mate with Noah tonight!" Bella squeals excitedly, jumping on her feet, as a faint red color appears on her cheek.
"Yes, I can’t wait to see the two of you get together. He has been so fond of you, and I guess this is the time that you both made it official as soon as the full moon comes out!" Cora yelps, looking gloomy as they talk about that weird guy with Bella.
"I can’t wait to find my mate too." Jane’s arm was swinging around Maria’s shoulder. It looks like I’m the weird one here because I’m the only one who is not talking about finding her mate tonight.
I try to ignore their conversation and focus on my stuff. By the time I was done, the day was a little dark.
My roommates are all gone from the room, and I’m left alone. I go beside the window and peep at what is going on down there.
Everyone looks merry and excited to welcome the moon. No, they are not just excited to welcome the moon; they are excited to find their mates and have sex throughout the entire night. The more I think about it, the more I feel sick.
I shut the curtain and crashed down on the bed as I remembered the guy I had just met earlier today. Aside from the weird eyes, he was so cute with those green eyes and gray hair falling to the side of his face. His jawline looks tighter a bit, and his lips are perfect on those curves.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a guy as good-looking as him before. No wonder Bella can’t wait to mate with him. They look perfect to be mates; I wish them all the best.
I go to find something to wear before I join them downstairs to celebrate as we all await the full moon.
Scarlet PovI wear a causal red gown and steps out of the room. I know it looks too simple but it’s all I have.I join the crowd and I look way different from all of them. They are all wearing a nice dress as though it was a proper occasion and not just an expectancy of the full moon.I have no friends and it just makes everything so odd for me. I stay at a corner and I watch the guy I saw from earlier stepping out of his ride. Along with the other guy I saw with him.As soon as he is out the crowds burst into a loud cheers. For a second I thought it was the full moon already, unknowing those cheers were for him. Is he that popular to get this kind of reactions from the students?He smiles at them and then a lady suddenly runs to hug him. That lady, is Bella. It looks like the whole school knows that they are dating and they expect them to be mates tonight.I watch as the two of them walk away from his ride and goes into a corner to also prepare for the coming of the full moon. I watc
Noah POVJeez, I’m so confused right now. I'm running my hand through my hair, as I don’t believe what has actually happened. How can the new girl be my mate? How on earth is that possible?Shit, doesn’t the moon goddess know how to plan things at all? I’ve always desired to have Bella as my mate. We have been dating for four years, and suddenly the moon goddess decides that we are not meant for each other!I need time alone. I turn to Bella, who has been crying since my wolf didn’t yearn for her. You needed to see the disappointment on her face when my wolf called Scarlet, who is currently one of her roommates.I need her to give me some time to think. "You have to stop crying, Bella. You saw that I chose you in front of everyone. I don’t want my mate; I’ve always wanted you, Bella, so you don’t have to continue crying." I kiss her on her forehead as she presses herself into my chest.She has been speechless, but I could see the anger in her and the hatred she has for the new girl al
Scarlet POVI must be a joker to think that I could be lucky to have a mate. I laugh so hard with strain, when I recall how dad left mom and never came back for us.I remember how Mom cried and begged him to stay because they had me. He rejected Mom; he said he couldn’t stay and he wanted to be out.I couldn’t believe that he was permanently out of our lives. I thought it was a joke until he truly never came back.He couldn't love either my mother or me. How could I dare to dream of having mine? Men aren’t worth it!"Jeez, I’m so fucked up!" I scream my frustration into the air as I take a long breath. I feel like my throat is too dry from hurt and sadness.I am walking so fast as I endure the pain in my chest. I hate to recall the scene of him kissing her in front of me." Scarlet! Hey wait!" I hear a female voice and begin to slow my steps, turning to see that it’s Jane.I sigh, knowing that she is kind of on my side. She was able to stop Bella from hurting me further back in the ro
Noah PovI angrily left the class because I knew if I had stayed longer there, I would have done a terrible thing. Fuck, I don’t know what is wrong with me.I don’t know why I hate it that Mr. Jack wants to be close to her.It’s stupid to think that he can fool us or me with that excuse. He doesn’t want a president. He fucking wants to mess around with Scarlet because he can’t help but admire her beauty.Jeez, Scarlet is a fucking novice. This is why I can’t have her!The things she does irk me. The silence treatment she gives me boils my anger!I fucking don’t know what to do because I feel so pissed right now. I’m pissed at both of them.I’m pissed that Scarlet doesn’t know that. Mr. Jack can’t control his dick whenever he sees pretty ladies.I know it’s none of my business. But I don’t know why I keep getting so furious at it.Ladies will always be so annoying. They can be so blind that they can’t see danger coming.Mom was a victim too. She was so blind that she couldn’t see that t
Scarlet POVI draw in a long breathe and exhale again. I repeated a couple of times as I relax myself. My heart started racing when Noah approached me, then from a fast beating heart to a cracked one as soon as Bella came in between us.I don’t need to think over the rejection again. He rejected me and that’s okay. I need to focus more on my studies and get out of this school.Jeez, I’m just a new student and I’m already feeling so sophisticated. Never thought it will be this hard to breathe in Virginia College.I take another long breathe before I knock on the door. Mr. Jack’s office. It doesn’t take a second I heard the high pitch of his voice telling me to come in.I don’t know what I have to do in his office. The whole stuff just gets weird for me. I tuck my hair in front of my eyes, behind my ears.I push the down open as I see him sitting on the chair in front of his office desk. “ Sir, you asked me to come.” I mumble, trying not to look at him as I drop my gaze to the ground.“
Noah POVI watch how she ran away from me, causing me to go insane. Damn, what went on with them in the office? I can’t stop thinking about it, that she went to Mr Jack’s office. Alone. I don’t trust that dick.I hope he didn’t try to pass his boundary. I hope he.. shit! I slap my hand on the wall beside me, confused on what to do. It seems she will never talk to me and it’s all my fucking fault.I didn’t have the chance to speak to Jane, she also ran off with her friend. I saw the pains in Scarlet’s eyes again.. wait.. I just remembered something.When I rejected her, she didn’t accept the rejection. She only cried and saw that it really broke her heart. Could this mean, she is waiting for me to come back?Why has she not accepted it? And she still won’t talk to me. She hates me.“ Noah.” Bella shouts my name, coming from the entrance. I guess she must be done with today classes. When she interrupted my conversation with Scarlet earlier , she had one more class to go, but she needed
Scarlet POVGetting home and finally checking my phone, I notice I have about three missed calls from my mom.I try to take off my red gown and pack my hair in a bon then slip into a white shot and blue a tank top, before returning her call. Guess she misses me already.As I’m about to dial her number, someone suddenly burst into the room, and before I could turn to see, a tight slap suddenly landed across my face.Shit. I feel queasy as I return from the shock and it dawns on me that I had just been slapped by Bella. “ Bitch!” she let out a yell.I don’t wait for her to finish her disgusting statements before I give her a tight slap too. “ Are you sure you are normal Bella? How could you slap me like that.” I grit my teeth as I watch her puts a hand on her red cheek.Her breathing is heavy as she gaze at me with such hatred in her eyes. She angrily throws her shoe and her bag she was holding, to the ground.She jumps on me as she grab a handful of my hair with her free hands and twi
Noah POVI can’t contain the anger that is building inside of me. I storm out of my car as I reach my apartment, throwing the door open with anger and frustration. She couldn’t have done that! She just couldn’t have done that to us!I heard my lips saying “us” as I recall how I had started this myself. Shit! I messed up and I don’t think I can get her back. She seem to have lost interest and hates me already!I feel like I fucking lost something so special to me.“ Of course you should feel that way. You rejected our mate.” My wolf suddenly speaks out with anger as I stare at him in the mirror.“ Jasper.. I don’t fucking know what to do. I screwed up.” I run my hands through my hair as my eyes turns red.“ You broke her heart, Noah. She desperately wanted us but you chose her over your girlfriend.” Jasper seem to hate the very first decision I made over our mate.“ I was scared. I’m still so confused right now. I feel there’s so much I’ve lost. Jasper those few moments I held her hand
