Amelia's povToday started off as a shitty day. Not only did I get soaked to the bone because of the rain but the fans in the bathroom were not bloody working.It was freezing, I was freezing, I was literally shivering and there was no heat in this school. I groan, kicking the edge of the stall. The weather had looked pretty clear before leaving the house yet when dad dropped me off, suddenly the heavens poured on me."Hey," some girl in the stall I had just kicked shout. "You're disturbing my shit."I scrunched up my nose and decided I needed someone to help me. But I didn't really know anyone here yet and I wasn't sure Foster or Pickett was here. I got out of the bathroom and looked around.I was super early and the hallways were not crowded as yet. I sighed in relief when I spotted the short familiar girl with curly hair standing before a locker I presume is hers. I rush over to her, hoping Pickett would help me.She's startled a little at my appearance. " Please tell me you can he
Amelia's povI licked my lips, lifting one of my brow. " You know, where I am from, this is considered bullying and harassment."Look away Amelia. Don't stare into his stunning eyes. They'll trap you and make you feel things you've never felt before.One of his thick brows angled up in an amused arch. "Hmm. Where I am from, it mostly means I want to be friends with you."My nose wiggled as if I had smelt something nasty, which was the lies coming from his pillowy looking lips. "Bullshit. You don't want to be friends with me."His eyes danced and his eyes fall to my lips. "You're right. I don't want to be friends with you Amelia," the tip of his tongue draw out of his mouth and he brush it across his bottom lip, causing a stir in my soul. " I want something more." My heart skipped a sharp beat at his words and I interlocked my fingers, licking my rather dry lips as I looked away. " Well you better give up now, because you won't get it anything more." I heard his breathy snort before
Amelia's pov" Please tell me this isn't Raiden's hoodie," Foster's lips are slackened into a gape as he stared at the very oversized hoodie currently swallowing my petite figure.I winced, my fingers playing with the strap of my bag. " It is, but I am to return it later on."Foster looks terrified. " Amelia," he swallowed and looked behind me. Intrigued, I turn to stare at who had made him look like he swallowed a huge marble down his throat. My eyes fall on her, her narrowing eyes lighting up fire on the hoodie. She looks vexed.I rolled my eyes. "He's the one who pushed me to take it. It means nothing and if she has an issue with it, she should speak to him about it." I shrugged. My mom taught me to not fear anyone, including girls like Dayna.Foster doesn't look convinced and swallows, his eyes on Dayna. " I don't know Amelia, she looks pissed off."She does, there's no denying how much steam is coming out from her ears as she shoots me with silent death threats. I tugged at Raide
Amelia's povThe pleasure of feeling her bones break under my knuckles satisfied me enough for me to want to pull my hand back and aim once more.However before I could, Foster grips my hand to stop me and two girls who were beside Dayna held her back as she snarled.I smirked at her as one of the girls lean toward her ear and whispered something that my ears couldn't catch. Whatever she whispered seemed to calm down Dayna who resorted to glaring at me and holding her nose."Sorry, my hand slipped. But I guess we're even now?" I smiled sarcastically, tilting my head and winking at her."What's going on here!" The teacher boomed, seeming now to show his presence. A few minutes earlier would've been much better.The little crowd parted and everyone got to their seats except for Dayna and her friends and me. "New girl punched Dayna unprovoked." Dayna's friend shrilled in, her eyes accusing me. "Wait that's a lie!" Foster yelled and the girl who spoke up turned to give him a hard stare t
Raiden's pov"You're not in this class Raiden," the teacher pointed out bluntly as I slammed the door open.I scan around the room, ignoring the teacher. There's still dirty water on the floor which tells me that the altercation had only happened recently."The principal needs to speak to Dayna." I gritted out when my eyes land on her at the back of the classroom, touching her red nose. From here it looked bad but since she's a shifter it will heal pretty soon. She'd have to postpone it a bit to make it look natural just in case.Dayna looks at me in question, yet there's a hesitant look that crosses her eyes."Are you certain of this?" The teacher baited, already knowing that I was lying. I looked at him, eyes pinning him with a look I knew would make him submit. "Very well." He uttered, motioning his hand for Dayna to stand up."Go to the principal office Dayna.""Raiden man, don't do any shit funny that will get us in trouble with your mom and dad," Damon mumbled behind me. Both he
Amelia's pov"Are you mad at me?" I winced as we came to a screeching halt on the driveway to the house. Dad glared at me and opens the door, getting out without a word.Growing frustrated at his silence, I grasp the bag and throw the strap over my shoulder while stepping out of the vehicle. "You know I am not to be blamed for this! I wasn't the one who threw the water. Can you believe that Dayna didn't even receive punishment too-I stopped abruptly when dad whipped around. Shit. He's really mad."You should have told me you were being bullied!" He snapped, turning back around to continue his path to the door.I followed after him and let out a snort. "Bullied? I don't consider this bullying when I can handle myself! You should have seen her face-I bit my tongue when dad sent me a sharp stare that told me to not dare finish my words. I smiled sheepishly and followed after him into the house."Look, I am okay. I handled it." I sighed, throwing the bag on the couch. He plops down on t
Amelia's pov"I don't feel well," I mumbled under my breath for the last ten minutes or so. Dad didn't believe me clearly since we were now parked in front of a huge two story house.If this is where Raiden lives, I can now understand why he's such a cocky tool. His parents are loaded. All rich kids feel like they're on cloud nine."Amelia," Dad let out a low breath and turn to me, his eyes pleading. "It's just dinner." He reaches out and squeezed my shoulder. "I will be there with you. Right beside you. It's not like I'm dropping you off at some unknown place and leaving you there."He's right. It was just dinner with his boss and family....his boss's son who I am hoping is not the Raiden I know. A little voice in my head told me it most definitely is the Raiden who irritates me.I chewed on my lips nervously as I crane my neck to look at the huge mansion. "Is it Raiden? Are you scared of him?"I brought my gaze back to Dad's instantly, my nose scrunching up. "Scared of Raiden? No, o
Amelia's povI closed my eyes tightly when his voice brushed against my ears. A small voice, mine, repeated words of hope that it really wasn't the hottest boy, I mean most annoying boy in school standing before me.That I hadn't just walked in on him half naked.But as my mind trapped me in my own body, I had failed to realize that the six feet giant was now looming over me with his broadness until I took a strong whiff of his aftershave, feel his heat and hear the soft knock of his palm hitting the wood behind me.My eyes peeled open and green trap me instantly. Drowning, my throat closed up.Raiden is standing, well leaning over me with his impressive height and stunning physique. I try to ignore how a water droplet tickle closer to his lips. And ignore the look in his eyes. This isn't helping.Butterflies flap their wild wings up my ribcage and kickstart fast beats in my heart. "I-The words trapped in my throat along with my heart when he leans closer, his eyes zeroed in on my ow
