Chapter Six - First encounter -

Unknown POV 

I glanced up at the clock on the wall just as I left the classroom in a hurry. 2:50pm, ok I have an hour before lock in, as I call it. I don't have a phone, or even a watch, Demonic... I laugh to myself what a name honestly his parents must have thought he was a demon child just like he is as an old man. I swear with a name like that they hated him, they had to. No one would name their child that... would they? I pounded for a moment. I don't even think that is his real name but it's what I have been made to call him, I think to myself as I walk towards my locker.

I look up slightly as I get closer to my locker not wanting to bump into anyone or give them an excuse to hit me or to insult me. I walk with my head down a lot. I don't like being stared at as everyone knows what I am, and I don't like making eye contact. The whispers and their thoughts are bad enough. I just want to shrink into myself most of the time. As soon as I do I know what they are thinking. 

Mind reading is very much frowned upon. Not like they feel uncomfortable and have had their privacy invaded or anything I think sarcastically, but I don't want to know who slept with who or what the goth girl thinks of her mate, or what they think of me. I don't purposefully read their minds, it just happens sometimes. I'm not allowed to try and use it and learn how to control it.

No sooner did I lift my head, enough to see where I'm going, I was falling backwards. My body slammed into something wide and hard like a brick wall. 

Shit this is going to hurt I think, and I closed my eyes tightly waiting for the hurt my ass was about to feel as it made contact with the floor, but instead, I felt my arm being grabbed and I was hauled to my feet so quick I almost fell face first into my locker. The sparks I just felt while faint, were there. All over my arm I could feel them. Little tingles everywhere. 

I wonder if he feels it too. The way he is looking at me in shock maybe he does. I'm not sure though because no sooner did I think I saw shock in his eyes and spread over his face it was gone. Did I imagine it? Was I going crazy? What just happened. I couldn't seem to focus on anything. One minute I'm walking, then I'm falling backwards, then I'm falling the other way and now there's sparks all over my arm. I didn't know how to react but what came next was definitely not what I expected.

"Woah, girl!" His voice is electrifying and deep.

"You need to watch your step"! He said in a gentle but firm tone. Like he didn't want to bring attention to himself..

"Umm, I'm so sorry" I replied in a barely audible whisper.

 My cheeks flushed red again. I peeked up from under my hoodie where I buried my head into after the embarrassing little moment of me almost ass kissing the floor then showing love to my locker with my face, to see it was the new student.

Wow he moved quicker than most werewolves I thought. As his reflexes to catch me and almost throw me, felt like one fluid movement for him. Strange was the next thought I had, was he even a werewolf. I sigh inwardly of course he is. I'm the only one who's different and not normal here.

Taking a breath and calming my nerves, I mustered up the courage to speak.

"Excuse me" I whispered but they didn't move or even acknowledge that I was speaking.

"Excuse me please" I said again more forcefully than the last time staring daggers straight at him.

Being ignored was something I was used to but this time I felt an anger rising inside me at the new student for ignoring me. Still, he didn't move or pay any attention to me at all.

"EXCUSE ME" I basically yelled at him this time. My eyes fixed on his as he turned slightly to look at me over his shoulder. Now I was mad and even though it's not like me I couldn't control my anger right now. 

"Yes, what is it?" he said with a smirk.

"Do you want me to do it again or something love, is me catching you once not enough or something for you."? He added smugly 

This arrogant little brat was my next thought. How fucking dare, he. Goddess the rudeness. I was so close to losing control and punching this arsehole. 

"You are in front of my locker. I need to get into it. So, if you could please mo..," He cut me off with a hand in front of my face. Yep, that's it I'm going to punch him. 

"Say no more, your voice is kind of blokeish and annoying. I'll move alright." Loc says grinning at me arrogantly while chuckling.

"Next time use less words. No need to be long winded"! He stated it as a matter of fact.

Before I knew what happened or could stop myself, ---crack--- is all that was heard before the gasps came flooding my ears and I was being screamed at by Erica and her posy of misfits and materialistic banshee twits. Looking at him standing there with the obvious look of shock, I know this time I did see correctly, blood coming out of his nose. I handed him my tissues. I always carry in case one of my wounds Demonic inflicts on me opens while here.

I return his smug smile and as I turn and start opening my locker, I look back over my shoulder still with the same smug smile. I see him about to get angry and rain hellfire on my ass grabbing my arm and squeezing it tightly but instead he casually let go and walked away with, yuck Erica one arm around her neck laughing at whatever she was saying. It made me want to gag. Goddess why me, what have I done to you I thought as I opened my locker putting everything I had in my arms away.

"Thank you" I called out to his back, having a little chuckle in my tone as I said it. Anger burning inside me I didn't want to let him, or the ditsy bimbos know was there.

I put my books away in my locker. Where I live, I can't bring them home or Demonic will burn them and lie about it, so I get scolded by the Alpha and the Principal and punished again. I close my locker and lock it. I make my way to the lunch hall to have my final meal until tomorrow morning when I come back to school. Demonic doesn't feed me. It's a waste of good food, he says.

She beasts like me don't get the good stuff. The last time I brought food back to eat for dinner, he sniffed it out and beat me to an inch of my life. My body aches with the thought, still to this day I get pains in my ribs when I breathe. Off to the cafeteria I go. Knowing no one will be there and it's free because it's the end of the day. I need to eat today. It's been two days since the last time I had anything and even then, it was only an apple and two pieces of toast.
