GABRIEL

"Hey," Ashton says shyly when he sits down next to me. Everyone looks over in  curiousity but I honestly don't care anymore, I won't see these people again.

I give him a small nod and see him frown. Guess he doesn't like not being praised.

"So about Friday," Ashton starts.

"I don't know if I want to go Ashton. I mean, you said something about rejecting me on my first day of school. It really hurt me and random pains came often after that, so I'm not going to take my chances on being with you," I blankly say.

Anger flares up in Ashton's eyes.

'Look at that face' Gwaquxi laughs. I grin at that.

"What Gabriel? I really do like you," Ashton pleads. His eyes looking down as his brows angrily furrows, well too bad.

"Sorry Ashton, I don't want to date someone that's still in the closet. I don't want to have our love hidden from the world," I say softly. Remembering what Theo and I had rehearsed.

A look of anger flash through Ashton's eyes, he keeps his mouth in a thin line and blankly stare at me.

"I'm really scared about coming out," Ashton sulks. I send him a small comforting smile, so he know that I do care.

I know I'm not supposed to give in. So I don't.

"I'm sorry Ashton. I just don't want to be a hidden secret. I'm not sure it's ever worth it," I tell him. My eyes connect with his and I keep my lips in a tight line.

Ashton's face is expressionless and his eyes are slowly tearing up.

"I want to be with you Ashton. I really do, but I want answere. On my first day here, you said something about alpha and rejecting. It hurt a lot, then you pushed me and ignored me and was rude to me. I don't understand what suddenly changed your mind," I say half heartedly.

I have to seem human. Shock pass through Ashton's eyes.

"The alpha thing was a bet. I don't know why but I had to call myself the alpha because I betted against someone. They told me to say I'm an alpha and reject you. Maybe you got hurt of shock," Ashton easily lies.

He thinks I'm human. The thing is, his heartbeat doesn't raise and his eyes doesn't flicker, but I know he's lying.

He's lying right through his teeth. If I really was human, I'd think he's telling the truth. But I'm not human, and he's lying.

It hurts a lot. How easily he lies. Maybe he was actually lying this whole time.

I quickly pack together my stuff, wanting to get away from Ashton as soon as possible to sort out these confusing emotions.

"I got to go. If you're telling the truth and actually like me. Then prove it," I tell him. My eyes flickering to Ashton's soft lips.

I want to kiss him one last time, but I can't. Not in front of all these people, Ashton would get mad and that's something I can't have. I can't have a mate getting mad just cause I pressed my lips against his.
