9 Strong one and the midget? Easy pick!

“There they are...beside Zayn’s cousin.

“The black-haired and the blond one?”

“Yes! Are you blind? They are sitting right next to Daniel!”

Oh god! Why is he like this? I think he just loves the drama but this time I could not let it go too far because I almost could see the fight coming up!

“Niall? Shut up!”

And as always, Niall was not there! His eyes were fixed on our newcomers in hope of getting new information, regardless of the tension he had started, and Liam was glaring at me!

“What? I need to know who is bothering you or not?”

Here we go again! I really loved to know why Liam was so interested in protecting me every second of every day! I mean ... that must be so boring! I kept my eyes on my book to avoid any eye contact. If I do not react maybe he would let it go!

“First of all Zayn! I don’t understand why you take it so easy on him and you don’t even bother to explain it to me. Now these two! We do not know what their intention is and now they are all buddy-buddy with zayn's group. How long do you want to be silent and say nothing? If it does not matter to you, it does to me!”

Mm...I guess not?

I closed my book and turned to him, who was looking at me with worry. I knew he was sure that if he does not keep an eye on me only for one day, I would eventually die in a corner under the beating of my fans, and to some extent he was right. I really couldn’t defend myself and that was very awkward!

I smiled a little and stared at him for a moment ... Liam was one of the best things in my life. He was a real best friend and I was so lucky to have him but I did not want to see him so drowned in my problems. He didn’t deserve that!

“Liam, I am so happy to have a best friend like you, I am thrilled actually but I don’t care about what others think or do and I want you to do so. This is college, not high school and they adore nerds around here and if I feel that things are getting out of control I will take serious action and they will be in serious trouble! Also, most of them are athletes and I am sure they don't want to get kicked out of their team just because of the joy of beating me!”

He opened his mouth to say something but he changed his mind and shook his head in disappointment!

“My father always says stay away from two types of people. Stubborn ones and the ones who don’t give a shit about anything!”

I smiled widely and laughed softly. Liam's father had never seen me, but somehow I am sure if he sees me, he will not like me at all!

“Surprise surprise I am qualified for both!”

“Exactly!” Niall said and grinned like a Cheshire cat but quickly got hushed by Liam's glare. Oh, he had such a terrifying glare!

When he turned to me with a relaxed face, I peed a little because his relaxed face was worse than his glare!

“One day I am going to pull your tongue out of your throat and shove it into your ass so you can’t annoy me anymore!”

“I love you too?”

If the professor didn’t step into the class right away, he would surely strangled me so he just shot me daggers with his eyes! What can I say? I am lucky occasionally!

Half of the class I was thinking about the new project and the other half I was looking at those two! One of them had black hair and eyes and looked like Asians and the other one was blonde with blue eyes. He also had a black piercing in his lip and he looked Australian or Canadian.

I kind of was an international underdog! I mean, I got fans from all over the planet and they come all the way to here just to make my life more miserable!

“What are you staring at like this? Let's go. The class is over.”

Hearing Liam's voice I snapped out of my thoughts. He was looking at me curiously as though I was hiding something from him! My super wary friend was always suspicious of anyone and anything! I gathered my books chuckling and got up from my seat.

“I was thinking that my fame is becoming global. These two don’t look British or American!”

“I agree!”

I glanced at him who was texting someone. Probably someone to run a background check on my new bullies! I shook my head in despair...typical Liam!

“Can I say something without getting slapped? I have a funny feeling towards the one with black hair...the tall one! I feel he is Irish!”

“What did you see in him that made you think that he is Irish? He looks Asian!

Liam scoffed and Niall latched to him like glue!

“But I like him for no reason!”

“You’re not going to be friends with him, Niall!”

“But why?”

“He is a bully! What the fuck is wrong with you buddy?”

They were still arguing but I was distracted because both of my new fans were staring at me! I had a ridiculous feeling...I felt I knew them!

“Are you coming, Louis?”

I nodded to Liam and looked at them for the last time and finally realized what was in their eyes...midget! They were like the others and I was being a delusional optimistic once again!

*********

He looked at us for the last time and left the classroom with his friends.

“What do you think?”

Calum turned to me with a smirk and shook his head in disbelief. He was right ... Even I, who was a believer in the prediction, couldn’t even imagine that that dwarf was the one who we needed!

“Midget!”

He nodded with a laugh and approved. Any werewolf can give out a signal from themselves that makes it easier for them to find and know other werewolves. We can feel each other...but he was different, we could not feel anything from him! Unless he could hide his signals and that power was only for super-strong alphas and he ... didn’t even look like a werewolf, let alone an alpha werewolf!

“I think focusing on this dwarf is just a waste of time. I say ... it is better to focus on the other one for now and let this one have his peaceful life...he is not worth it Luke!”

I was thinking exactly the same, but I wanted to do this mission with extreme caution, and ignoring one of our options didn’t seem wise at all!

“It is true that he doesn’t look like an ideal option at all, but we can’t ignore him entirely! Boss would rip our heads off if he finds out that we were overlooking him!”

I said it in a low voice like him and took a look around us. It wasn’t good for us at all if someone heard our voice that wasn’t one of us…

“I have heard, Sora has said that the person we are looking for must be extremely powerful. So that all the people who are under the influence of his power are subconsciously drawn to him for concentration and peace of mind! Him? The only people around him are that handsome guy and that blonde!”

Calum grumbled and shoved his phone into the pocket of his jeans. I knew he was not willing to come whit me but the order was from the boss and he couldn’t protest. That lazy ass was always running away from taking responsibility for everything and everyone!

“But apart from the boss's order, I also believe in Sora's words ... I always had. But this boy can’t be the one that Sora has said. He is too weak for leadership but Zayn...I think he is perfect!”

“Alright...I get it! You like that filthy old lady!”

When he laughed out loud I rolled my eyes at his silliness! He always enjoys mocking me, over my fondness of our old lovely prophet!

Hearing the noise of Zayn and his group, we quickly started gathering the books that we even had not read a single page of them!

“Why are you still here? Let's eat something. It is on me!”

“Of course. Thank you!”

I respectfully accepted Zayn's offer, and Calum widened his eyes excitedly but quickly pulled himself together when I gave him a swift glare! I swear this asshole is going to blow our cover up any minute by his inability to control his expression!

When we followed zayn towards the cafeteria I became more certain that Calum was right! His dominance and power over his group were clear. They were all waiting to take orders from him and this did not only include members of his group. Everyone who passed by him respected him instinctively and all of this was showing that Zayn had it in him...he could have easily be the alpha that we needed!

“Where are you coming from by the way? You do not look American!”

“I am originally from Australia and Calum is Scottish. It just has been two weeks since we came to New York.”

I answered with a smile and tried to be more relaxed. My heart rate was very important because it was possible for him to find out that I was lying because of a change in my heartbeat! When he smiled and nodded his head as if his guess was correct, I was relieved. Our faces were one of the reasons that we have been chosen for this mission!

“Did you meet each other here?”

I smiled deeply, remembering all those beautiful years full of joy and sorrow, and friendship. If I could choose a few people in my whole life as my family, Calum would be one of them!

“Yeah...we don't know each other for that long but we formed a good friendship very quickly.”

“Nice...both of you are exactly my type for friendship. I mean you already showed me what you are made of and I liked what I have seen!”

My brows jumped up in surprise. Was he that happy just because Calum had spread that midget and his stuff on the ground? Why? Did he hate him that much? It was pure luck that we were able to pick the right side before things get complicated!

When he saw our surprised faces he smiled deeply and shook his head…

“I don't get close to anyone this soon but you two...I don't know! I feel like I know you for years!”

I smiled a little as I felt Klum's knee-knocking into mine. It seemed that we were on the right path. It would be so great if we could prove ourselves to the boss on this mission. He was still pissed for our last screw up and if we make the same mistake again and put the mission in the slightest danger, we definitely have to dig our graves with our own hands!

"And apart from all this, today you showed that you are on my side. Everyone knows that it is one of my dreams to snap that dwarf's neck one day and you took my side unknowingly! He raised his glass and continued: welcome to the pack!"

I felt that Calum couldn’t hold back his big smile anymore, so I smiled so he could empty his excitement a little!

I sipped my soda and nodded with a grin…

“You’re right! I always had hated the weak ones, especially if they were male...it is pathetic!”

Zayn nodded excitedly and confirmed my words!

“Exactly! Amen to that!”

Yup! He hated him exactly that much!
