Ashely P. O. V.
“All right nice for you to tell us about your old friends!”
“Okay thank you both, go take your seats” I heard Mr. Smith says.
I saw Maria-Ann trying to move but her feet were stuck on the ground. So, I stood up and went up there and helped her.
“Hey, come sit with us!” I told her with a friendly smile. I didn’t want her to think I am one of those mean girls like that movie Regina. I don’t remember her last name, but I got her first name right lol.
“Oh, thank you,” she said with a sweet smile on her face.
Once we started walking away, I didn’t see Maxime, but he was staring at her with a predator eye. So, if she walks closer, I am afraid he will grab her and do whatever he can to her.
I could feel Maria-Ann shaking when she was walking. I thought she would pass out but then we were walking toward her seat. That’s when something happened.
I remember hitting the ground. Ouch! I thought. But then I heard growl and I saw Jayson in Maxime’s face and he shoved him into the wall behind the chalkboard.
“Watch it brother!” I heard Maxime say with a smirk in his voice but he also had something else in his voice like jealousy.
But why would he be jealous?
“No! You touch her again, you’re the one to watch it brother?” I heard Jayson I didn’t see any of them but I could picture what’s happening behind me and Maria-Ann.
I heard Maxime growl and said.
“Well, I had to see how their bounce is?” He told him.
He chuckled and said.
I guess it’s not very good, if they keep falling at my feet.” Maxime said with a laugh.
Then I heard the classroom laugh. But Jayson and the other guys and Avery and Emilia growled out.
That’s when the class stopped laughing because the horsemen’ and my girls were pissed off.
You do not want to anger horsemen and us! We will explode and attack if we are in a corner.
That’s when I saw Maria-Ann on the ground sniffing beside me because she was about to cry. No! She is crying.
Maxime your asshole!” I whispered under my breath. I know he heard me.
“Oh my! Girls! You okay?” Mr. Smith said concern and he saw Jayson and Maxime in front of the classroom staring at each other.
“Hey! Boys stop it and take your sat” Mr. Smith yelled out.
I heard a groan when I heard Maxime moaned with pain. Jayson probably elbow his stomach like he did the other night at my house when are parents were there.
Oh, boy this is not good.
That’s when I heard a yelp and I saw Maria-Ann lifted off the floor and Maxime had his hand around her shoulder.
“Come on Tinker bell, you’re sitting with me?” I heard him ask her no, he told her. He didn’t ask, he told her so she would obey him.
“No! tha-nks I -am fine.” she tells him.
But he didn’t care what she said. What I heard. But when she had no choice she went with him to sat somewhere in the classroom.
But what surprised me was the hand. I knew it was a man but I didn’t think of it. I grabbed it. That’s when I felt the electricity go right through me.
I knew who it was. That when I looked up and I was staring in the eyes of my crush/bully/mate.
Jayson.
I saw his lips and they turned up in a cocky grin. I looked away with my cheeks red. I knew people could see what was going on with him helping the crazy ass loser off the ground.
So, I licked my lips. I didn’t want to look around if I did, I knew what would happen. But I couldn’t help it.
I saw our classmates with their shocked and confused eyes on him and I went my hand in his.
But then my eyes fell on my friends. They were shocked but they all had a concerned look on their faces.
But then I saw Avery mates smiling at us. I saw Elijah wink at me.
Not in a flirty way, just a friendly jester.
We all good so far but Eli and Natalie acting strange, always fighting or Natalie watching over at Eli with pain and tears in her eyes.
I could tell there is something going with them but for now. Avery, and Emilia and I will wait until she is ready to talk about it with her hate/love relationship with Eli Wallace’s.
Then I check on Maria-Ann. I saw her in a seat right beside Maxime and he had his hand on her thigh. He was writing down something on the paper in front of him. I could see she was quiet and scared.
When Maxime is not around I and the girls are going to help her and become her friend.
I think she would like that. But with Maxime.
We are going to have a long talk about respecting women! I fist my one hand by my sides. I was angry.
I wanted to go back there but then Jayson felt my anger and he squeezed my hand and he stood me up. He gave me a look saying.
Not here princess, with his eyes.
So, I listened and started walking with his hand in mine.
He placed me down in my seat. So, I thought he would leave and sit in the back with the other buddies, him and the guy’s friend but instead he sat right beside me with his friends.
I must have had my mouth open when I heard him chuckling.
Hey! Now, with your mouth open like that.” I can’t help with dirty thoughts running in my mind” He said in a seductively cocky voice. I guess I am the only one I could hear him.
Thank God I thought. Then he placed his hand on top of my thigh. I looked down. I had a mind to grab it and move off there but I didn’t do anything. I just stared at it.
It felt good and it felt like it belonged there.
I felt good.
I felt like things could be looking up.
Just one thing would be great. He claimed me as his in front of the whole school.
But all I know I want this.
I want the same thing as Avery has with her mates. She doesn’t have to hide their love and relationship.
I just wish I was brave enough to yell it on the top of my lungs.
“I AM WITH JAYSON WOODS!”
But I didn’t. I kept quiet and stared at his hand rubbing and squeezing my leg one last time and he left it there.
I sigh wishing I could say it.
