 In sixth block, I kept feeling eyes on me and I knew exactly who those eyes belonged to. James was staring at me pretty much the entire time we have been in this class. Now there is only twenty minutes in class and the feeling of someone staring at you has been with me the entire hour. The scrutiny of his eyes on me was making me fidget yet also produced a small blush on my cheeks. Why is he staring at me!? I turned in my seat because he was sitting an aisle over and more towards the back. "What?", I hissed at him in a whisper because I didn't want to get in trouble by the teacher. Oh yeah, did I mention I hadn't been able to pay attention in class or do a single thing?

I expected a smirk to form on his lips but instead he gave me a soft sweet smile. "Just enjoying the beauty", he said smoothly causing my light blush to turn heavy. My cheeks were on fire and I was hurting my mouth by trying to keep off the gigantic grin that wanted to paste itself on my face. I faced forward and tried to pay attention to the teacher but my mind kept wandering to what he said. What beauty? I mean I know I'm not ugly but for James, an Alpha, to say I'm beautiful.. I just didn't know how to react. I mean was I supposed to say 'you too'? Wait, why would I call him beautiful? I mean he was really good looking but isn't beautiful for a girl? What was I supposed to say after a sweet comment like that. Just say thanks? Ugh, whatever. I'm just not going to say anything back. It's not like I want him to flirt with me. I mean why would I?

It seemed like forever until the bell had rang and once it did I jumped out of my chair and out of that classroom like it was on fire. I didn't even know why I was rushing. It's not like I have anyone waiting for me at home. Damn it. I just remembered I had to walk home due to me being grounded all because of James. If it hadn't have been for him I wouldn't be walking in the sun today and for the rest of the time I'm grounded.

Once I made it through the huge crowd of teens I got out of the double doors of the school and started my very long journey home where nothing was waiting for me. The sun was beating down on me and I knew today was a bad day to wear pants. After ten minutes of walking I was already soaking in my own sweat and I still had aboout forty more minutes of walking. Why did we have to live so far from the school!?

"It looks like someone can use a ride..", I knew that voice anywhere. I turned my head to see James in a black corvette. Of course he would have an expensive looking car. I didn't know what kind of model it was but I knew it was a corvette and it was most likely really expensive. He had a small smirk with his left eyebrow arched as he drove slowly next to me.

"No thanks", I said facing forward again. I didn't want to spend anymore time with him then I had to. I kept walking completely ignoring the fact that he was still driving along side me. What is his deal anyway? I don't know what he's planning but it's not going to work on me.

"Come on, you know you want to" Hell yes I wanted to but not with him. I ignored and kept walking. Okay, his air conditioned car did sound so good right now but I didn't want to sit in another awkward car ride home and I didn't want to be with him period. I don't care how hot it is my answer is no. "Michelle can't you just let me give you a ride home. I just want to make sure you get home safe", he said in defeat. That stopped me in my tracks and I turned to look at him. His eyes looked so truthful and pleading that it pulled at my heart. I knew I could protect myself if anything were to happen but the fact that he actually cared for my safety and wanted me to be okay just made me feel, I don't know cared for, important. All this time I've felt so lonely with my fosters not paying any attention to me and now losing my friends and Shelly, I hadn't noticed how much I was falling apart on the inside until now. "Michelle", I heard a bang and looked up to see James walking towards me with nothing but true concern on his face. That's when I noticed that tears were fallng down my cheeks. I felt his arms wrap around my waist and him pull me tight into his chest. That's when I broke down. I cried so hard I was visibly shaking and sobbing my heart out. The whole time he just held me close while whispering to me that everything will be okay but how could it when I've lost everybody. "I'm here for you and I always will be" I hadn't even known I had said that out loud but his words warmed my heart and slowly stopped my tears. When I finally stopped crying, I lifted my head and looked into his warm brown eyes. He smiled at me and I found myself being lifted up bridal style as he carried me to the passenger seat of his car, "Lets get you home" He sat me down and after closing my door he got into the drivers seat, started the car, and took off down the road. The crying I did putting me to sleep.

I faintly felt as someone lifted me up. I opened my eyes and saw I was in the arms of James and he was walkng towards my door. I checked the driveway to see no one was home, of course. I reached into my pocket and handed him my house key. I didn't feel like standing and I felt too comfortable to walk. He chuckled but grabbed my keys and opened the door with one hand while he held me with the other with ease. "Upstairs, to the left", I said sleepily supressing a yawn. I felt him walk upstairs and I was already falling back to sleep when I felt him put me down on my bed. My bed felt so cold and just when he was about to close my door I spoke softly,"Stay"

He opened the door wide, "What?"

I hesitated, maybe he doesn't want to stay. "Um, can you stay please?" He looked shocked and then conflicted. Of course he doesn't want to stay, gosh I'm such an idiot. I looked at him waiting for his answer biting my lip, hoping he didn't say no. He looked like he was thinking hard then he smiled, "Of course, I'd love to" I grinned and scooted over on my bed as he lied down next to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist as I hugged him to me nuzzling my face in his neck. He smelled of melon and his scent and warmth put me into a peaceful slumber.
