Claire spends the day following me around at school.
‘Boo-boo, I was hoping we could talk?’
‘Stop calling me Boo-boo and I’ll give you five minutes to talk to me.’
‘Oh, okay then B-Magnus…’ she trails off.
I lean against my locker with my arms crossed.
‘What is it?’
‘I was hoping you would reconsider… us? I want us to be together again. Magnus, I miss you. She says and tries to caress my bicep.
‘I’m not interested, Claire.’
‘But I don’t want to be with anyone else.’
‘Claire, you say that now, but then you will eventually meet your mate and you will want to be with him. I’m going to be late for class. I’ll see you around.’
Claire’s eyes well up and she storms off to her class.
At lunchtime, I head to the library and pull Pipsqueak aside.
‘I heard about what happened at your wolf ceremony. Are you alright?’
Of course, the entire school would know about it.
