Chapter 2

Ezra's POV

Aaron made it back to the table with our trays and had forgotten to get the utensils. I didn't mind getting them for him since he did bring my food but it didn't take long for me to walk over to the counter and notice that everyone stole my seat. Eve and Payden sat on each side of Aaron and some random people with either soccer jerseys or football jerseys sat around him taking every seat at the table.

Making my way back i hand him his folk and look around the place for an empty chair to drag over. As i spot one and try walking off Aaron's arm grabs me and i plop in his lap in front of everyone. They all look at me in curiosity as Aaron just eats and ignores everyone but i couldn't do the same. My sudden hunger was gone and all i could focus on was Eve's big eyes narrowing at me in disgust.

"Ezra right," a hand was offered from in front of me as i nod looking down at his palm. "I'm Ian," he smiles as i shake his hand making me feel welcomed. "You must be the famous best friend Aaron stays talking about, Im glad i can finally meet you," he winks making my eyes go wide before taking my hand away. "This is Joe," he points to the guy on his left with a low fade. He looked very tall even when he was clearly sitting down. I give him a little nervous wave, making him smile back at me. "And the guy on my right is Brandon," I give him a nod of recognition as he peeks up from his phone.

"Omg Ian you're actually talking, that's a first," Aaron laughs wrapping his arms around my waist. "You must like my best friend, huh," he jokes as I see Ian's face go completely red looking away from me. I couldn't tell if he was looking away with guilt or just embarrassment but i couldn't get caught looking so i looked away also.

"Im joking Ian no need to get all nervous," he laughs before looking up at me on his lap. "He's mine anyway," he says with confidence before placing a kiss on my cheek. I don't even react because of how often he did this, but the whole table acts as if it was the biggest of deals.

"Are you serious," Joe asked smiling, while Bradon just looks shocked. His eyes bucked and pointed at me. "No guys, like i said he's my best friend," he lays his head on my shoulder and i still say nothing. "Anyway," Aaron sighs patting me on the back giving me a clear signal to get up, "Me and the boys are going to work out in the gym room so I will be off." I nod looking over at Ian giving me a finally smile trying to walk off as quickly as possible.

Then there was just three. Eve, Payden and I.

"Umm well this is weird, " i try to force a laugh and sit back down for a bit. As my butt connects to the seat i feel Payden's hand push me down even further to where i couldn't move without making a scene. "I don't like how close you and Aaron are," he starts, "We were here first so i think it would only be fair if you left the picture."

They were there first? In what world!

"Actually me and Aaron have been friends since birth," i try smiling but Eve wasn't having it. "Ok and, your point, we are trying to say that you need to go back to where you came from, no one wants you here," I always knew i didn't like her and i guess this is the reason.

"Listen here Ezra go back to your home town maybe find a coffin or whatever and bury yourself right alongside your dead roach you call parents," I could feel my blood boil and my temperature rise. "Eve that was too far, you don't joke about people's trauma," Payden interrupted as Eve just starts laughing.

"You know what Bitch," the words slip from my mouth as i feel Payden move away from me. "Aaron would never date a hag like you first off, A snot nose brat that jokes about death, like come on how low do you have to go. Were you expecting me to cry, well look here you fucking dirty ass piece of living shit, I would rather fight you then waste a perfectly good tear on you and just because you are girl doesn't mean i wont throw on a wig just to beat your ass," My fist balls up as she jumps standing up to her feet.

"No wonder your family left you with all these anger problems, i wouldn't blame Aaron for leaving you next," My legs spring into action but i felt someone grab me from behind. It was Payden with a pleading face as he looks around the cafeteria and everyone was staring at me. I couldn't careless, I was beyond my average mad. I was sweating everywhere like i had been rained on and my nails were digging so far in my skin i could feel my warm blood around them.

RED*

Red is all i see. I smell the smell of blood but it wasn't my own and i knew if i didn't get out of there the whole cafeteria would have became my feeding ground. I dont usually eat people but i dont usually get this mad either so i didn't know what could happen all i knew is it could put me in trouble.

I cant turn into a whole wolf, i never could so i cant now but that doesn't mean i wasn't as strong as the average wolf times 3 or faster at that. When i hunt- i hunt with accuracy and it could be dangerous since my emotions were all over the place.

I pushed Payden off me and start charging towards the door in rage i couldn't control, but just my luck it seemed Liam was waiting on me at the lockers. His back was against them with his feet crossed barely scrolling on his phone, he looked as if he was waiting on someone at least.

"Hey buddy hey," he runs over towards me as soon as i step out of the double doors. "Just call me Ezra," i grit my teeth trying to remain calm. His arm wraps around my shoulder as he smiles at me but i don't reciprocate. "What's wrong," I start walking but he stops me before i was too far. "I don't feel good, I'm just going to go to the bathroom," i walk a bit faster as Liam jogs to the front of me. "Wait ill take you to the nurse," i shake my head still intending to get away towards the restroom.

"If he says he needs to go to the bathroom why are you stopping him," a husky voice startles me as Liam breaks eye contact. "He is sick Zayd why wouldn't i take him to the nurses office," he snaps trying to intimidate him with his voice. It didn't seem to work in the slightest all he got in return was a death glare.

"Ok fine ill take him to the nurse then," Zayd turns to me as I look towards the ground. I could feel his eyes digging into my skin but he gave no cares. "Come on Ezra lets go," Zayd says grabbing my wrist pulling me down the hall as Liam starts yelling after me.

We didn't go to the school nurse. He drags me outside the doubled doors of the school to his car where i had to sit on the passenger side like we were going somewhere. As soon as i got fully inside and shut the door his intentions became clear.

"What the fuck is wrong with you,"

"Excuse me," I look at him in disbelief. "Are you serious, transforming in a school are you out of your mind," he continues to yell at me.

"First off you don't know what happened so before you start with all that unnecessary screaming please feel free to ask, you stuck up bitch," i roll my eyes, plopping back in my seat crossing my arms. As i do i feel irritation in my eyes but my nails were too long from my half-ass transformation that only worked on certain body parts like my nails.

"I'm still mad but can you take my contacts out," he does a slide glare at me before actually pulling me forward. Our faces were so close I could feel his steady breathing. The smell of his body was very sweet like some freshly picked fruit.

"There," he hands me my contacts, "now sit back in your sit."

I nod my head and right before I plop back I drop both of my contacts on his lap. They weren't clear but they still would be hard to find if they just happened to fall down. "Dang it," I mumble to myself putting my knees in my seat before leaning over the arm rest to look on his side for my belongings.

"What are you doing," he jumps back as I fully forget how bad it actually looks in between his legs. He probably thinks I'm a creep now but I can't be seen without those contacts or I will become some lab experiment.

"I'm sorry I dropped my contacts"

"So that doesn't mean reach over here in search for them yourself," he starts. "I don't see the big deal of it they are just clear contacts," he yells.

While in between his legs I look up at him and our eyes meet. My pure milky white eyes look into he's. His eyes widen as I realize my hand placement.

"I'm so sorry," I struggle to flop back to my seat, "I didn't mean to-"

"That's enough just sit down and don't talk," He was serious now looking up at the school building through the glass window. "Well I guess you can't go back to class now that your face is not normal so instead you can just ride around with me for about 5 hours until school is out."

---------

Zayd stopped by a burger place buying both of us a sandwich before driving off to the park to sit in the parking lot.

"I'm sorry for earlier"

"For which part?"

"Shut up and let me apologize," I take a deep breath. "You were right it was irresponsible for me to get that heated over something like that and almost expose myself. So I will try to control my emotions more."

"Actually you should've just slapped the shit out of her and the problem would have been resolved," I snicker to his words. He was not that bad when you spoke to him outside of school.

"I should have," I whisper to myself and see Zayd smile

The energy in the car got much lighter as I no longer saw him as a scary guy. Now Elijah is still scary to me but Zayd is not that bad.

"Hey why are your eyes pink," I didn't notice that he had come closer to my face. With one arm on the armrest and the rest of his body facing me, we both were staring into each other's eyes. "Are you sick or something, Ezra?"

Since when did he know my name?

"no," my voice lowers and the smell of fruit gets stronger filling the car. I had a bad feeling I was about to do something bad.
