Chapter 2 “Present”

Avery P.O.V

"Avery" "Hey girl" I heard Ashely say.

I was walking into the school when I turned around, I saw Ashely Williams my best friend, and my cousin and Natalie Steele running towards me with a big smile on their faces. I can see they grow up into their bodies. With their long legs with their blonde hair and big chest looking like a runway model. But like me, I am still short with a big waist and small chest with acne and big glasses on my round face. But I don't know why they want to hang out with me. I am a shy nerd who doesn't stand up for herself.

I am not ugly, but I am not actually beautiful either. But I hear all my life I am a beautiful young lady. But I don't want to go all-in that. So, I go back to the present where I am at school. I turn my attention back to my best friends walking towards me with their beautiful smiles on their faces. They stop in front of me by the steps going into the front door of our high school.

"Hey girls," I said smiling at them. "How, was your summer vacation?" I asked them with a red tint on my cheeks. "Oh, girl!" Ash said with so much excitement and joy in her voice. But she talks so loudly. So, we have an audience watching us. I wanted to go die in a hole because everyone looking at us with judgment in their eyes. I am afraid when someone stares at me? Especially, him. I hope this year he will leave me alone this year, of high school. Maybe he will forget I am here? By the time I thought that. I heard his voice. I don't have to see him know he is close behind me.

"Hey slut" I heard behind me. I spoke too soon. My shoulder pulled up and I was shaking in my legs. I got butterflies in my stomach. Now, I know I am in for it now.

"Hey" "I am talking to you!" Bitch." I heard him growl in my ear. I felt him grab my arm. I can feel him right on my back, close to my ear. Oh, no, please not this year. I said in my mind. Just leave me alone, I wanted to tell him, But I am not brave and strong like the other she-wolfs.

"Come on" I heard Angelstar.

'You can do it." "Tell him off."

I sighed and closed my eyes waiting for the cruel words to come out of his kissable beautiful lips. I blushed thinking about his lips on mine. I should not be thinking of him that way. I should be thinking about founding my mate. I got two weeks until my eighteenth birthday in a couple of days. Elijah's birthday is in three days, he will be nineteen.

"Tell him off" "Avery" "Don't let him treat you like that?" I heard my wolf Angelstar growl.

"But I can't do that."

"He is my Alpha remember?"

"Besides, he hurt me, and kill me." "I don't want him angry and mad at me."

"He is going to be Alpha, Angelstar." "I am not anything but a smart ugly nerd, loser. "Remember what he said?" "Now I got new name-calling, He likes to call me."

"I am the Slut and Bitch." I used my hands for my words to Angelstar my wolf. She rolled her wolf eyes at me. "Well, next time I am out in the woods when I see him."

She said with a growl, and she showed me her sharp teeth. Like she was going to bite him. I could not help it, I started giggling. I see my friends gave me a weird expression on their faces like I was crazy.

"Hey, Elijah!" "Leave her alone." "She didn't do anything to you?" Ashely said with her hands on her hips staring at him with a heat and fire expression in her eyes.

"Stay out of it!" He said with a growl. She rolled her eyes at him. Then I heard a growl I saw someone in front of us. He had his hand around Ashely's neck.

"You, will not disrespect your Alpha!" "You hear me, sweetheart." I saw her face to face with Jayson Wood Elijah Wood beta and cousin. She didn't say anything but stare into his dark blue eyes. I can see his wolf is ready to come out. Oh, no I thought.

"What?" "Are you going to do about its Jayson?" "Are you going to beat me and punish me?" "Or you going to be a pussy and get your buddies here to punish me and beat me up?" ''So, your sisses ass enjoy the show?" She said with a grin on her face. He didn't let go of her neck, but he bought her face closer to his. "Listen here" "Sweet cake."

"I don't need my buddies to do a man job." "Secondly, I don't beat up women. "If I, do it. It's their asses I am slapping when I am fucking them from behind." "Lastly, the only pussy, I do is eat it and fuck it." He said it with his mouth on hers and a cocky grin on his face. It was so quiet. Because we were all shocked by what is going on here with Ashely and Jayson Woods.

They are so close, and you can feel the tension surrounding them. You can't even cut a knife throw it. Oh, God, Ashely I can't believe how brave she is to say that to one of the most popular and meanest guys who are our bullies. Ashely, I said with my eyes.

"Stop it" Please you going to make it worse!" "I was trying to tell her. To keep her mouth shut and walk away. But the time I was going to grab her and Natalie. Someone else had other ideas. That was when I was picked up off my feet and over someone's shoulders. All I see is his hardback and his round ass in my face. I knew who it was, he does it every year to me.

"Please let me down!" I had tears in my eyes and a frightened expression on my face. Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you. I am up on the flagpole. I am scared of heights. I started yelling down at him.

"Please Woods!" I am so sorry for whatever I did to you that made you hate me." I told him staring down at him and the others surrounded him laughing at me. On the other side, I see Ashely in Jayson's hold and Natalie in Eli Wallace's hold. They were trying to get to me. But they can't get out of the strongest guys in our school. Jayson is beta and Eli in the first command.

Ashely P.O.V.

I am trying to wiggle and trying to get out of Jayson's grip.

"Let me go you dick!" I yelled at him.

"Oh, you keep it up sweet thing" I am going to show you what a dick is?" He said with a glare in his eyes and a smirk on his face. "Jayson, your fucking disgusting asshole," I said moving my face away from his mouth.

"I won't touch you with my golden pussy you, idiot!" I told him with a smirk on my face.

"Oh, yeah!" "Let found out." He said in my ear with a growled. He didn't whisper either. He said it loud enough so people can hear him. I am shocked and I am tongue-tied. But why, I thought he hated me? Now, here he is flirting with me. Then I looked back at his handsome- I mean ugly, face. That was a close one Ashely." I told myself. When I heard my wolf Envy laughing at me in the back of my mind.

"Oh, shut up Envy," I told her. She rolled her pretty eyes at me.

Envy is beautiful with red fur and pretty-green hazel eyes. She went back into my mind, she disappeared into her own world. Lucky, her. I rolled my eyes at her. So, here I am in the tight strong grip of this big guy. I hate him and I used to have a crush on him. Back in the day, we were in middle school. Now, all I see is hate for him in my eyes but my heart, it is another story.

Elijah P.O.V.

"Come on Princess." Tell me what I want to hear." I said with my hands over my mouth yelling up at her. I know I shouldn't be like this. My father warns me, to stop all these childish games and be a good role model and a great leader focusing on being a great Alpha.

So, I need to stop all this teasing and picking on her my quiet shy wallflower. I am looking up the flagpole, I see she is wearing a dress. Oh, wow the quiet wallflower is wearing something normal and not baggy for a change. She doesn't look half bad. He thought. Then he heard all the males and females talking about her.

The male population talking about how good her legs look good. I found myself growling at that. How dare they stare at her like that. What? Why did I say that? There is no way I am attracted to her. I told myself. I heard my wolf Axe chuckle and say.

"Yeah, right, keep telling yourself that." I heard him say. I rolled my eyes at him and went back to reality, and I saw Avery start to lose her grip around her skirt. They going to- Yep, I knew it. They fell. They fell right at my feet. I saw her with her eyes wide open and her face all red. I heard them laughing Hahaha- "I heard everyone laughing and whistling at her.

"Look at that!" "Sexy undies," a guy said behind me. I didn't like that.

"Yeah, sweet thing, you can climb my pole anytime." Another guy said to her.

"You Slut!" I heard a girl say to her. I saw Avery trying to hide her bottom half. But no luck. I started to get angry and pissed off. What they are doing to her and saying. I wasn't happy they kept saying more awful and disgusting words. The guys did more than the girls. The girl's other hand was cruel and mean saying awful words. Everything but a white woman. I closed my eyes, I started shaking, I knew my wolf is going to come out. If I don't calm down. I opened my eyes and shouted out.

"HEY! "

There were silences from them.
