Chapter 42

The next week passed by quickly. Jace would pick me up after school, and we would go to random places. He would take me to parks, movies, and restaurants. All theses places had one thing in common. They were all quiet, secluded, and out of reach for both Jace's and my family's packs. That meant we were mostly in the suburbs. Sometimes, if we had homework we would go to Starbucks in those areas.

Finals were coming up, so we became too busy studying to hang out. Since Jace was a grade above me, we only had history together, so we made plans to study for history over the weekend. Other then that we had over a week of not seeing each other, except for the sideway glances in the school hallways. I hated being apart. All my wandering thoughts drifting to him, and my bodies constant begging for a simple touch from him, wasn't helping things either. I knew it was nothing compared to what Jace was probably going through. His wolf was bound to just want to be near me. Probably occupying his every thought with me. That's what I had been told mates would be like when they are apart for even a short amount of time. But we had both decided this was what was best.

I already studied for english with John. It didn't go too well, because neither of us cared enough about the subject to want to study. So we mostly talked with breaks of learning. With the way we studied, it took us three hours to finish the double sided sheet that summarized and explained the meaning of one of the two books we read that semester. I only had to do the one book, because I came after they finished the first book. It was kind of pathetic how long it took. But towards the end, I satisfied my needs and asked how Jace had been doing. John said he was distracted all the time.

Daniel and I were studying for some of the classes we both took. We would meet up after school at the school's library. Sadly, I couldn't get away with studying like I had with John, because Daniel actually cared about his grades. He was also convinced he could make the subjects interesting to me. So far he had not accomplished that.

Then the rest of my subjects, which were only two, I planned to study by myself at the Starbucks I took Cole to.

I pulled the books I needed out of my locker, as other students swarmed past to leave school. I heaved the bag onto my shoulder, and slammed the locker shut with as much strength as I could muster. It wasn't much, because for the past few days I hadn't been feeling too well. I felt lightheaded, I looked paler than normal, my appetite shrunk, and my body would just feel too weak to support itself. Emily also realized this, and decided I was probably just starting to become sick from all the stress of coming back to the orphanage and finals. I couldn't disagree with her. Emily would force me to get more sleep, and eat even when I didn't want to. This morning she offered to let me stay home, but I knew I was able to survive a day in school. If I had any hope of passing any of the finals, then I definitely had to be in school the entire week before.

I was rammed in the shoulder by a passing student, and nearly fell over in my weakened state. I steadied myself against the lockers, regaining my balance. Then I headed off to meet Daniel in the school's library, before I could be rammed in by a student again.

I heard the familiar ding of my phone in my bag, but just ignored it. I had just gotten it the week before. All the girls over the age of 13 had the same phone in the orphanage. It was a cheap phone that I could text and call on, but didn't have any data. It served it's purpose though.

I walked into the library, and headed towards the studying tables we had been using for the past few days. When I got there, I discovered that all the tables were occupied. I let out a sigh, and turned off towards the non- fiction section. I started my search for the science section, since we were studying for chemistry today.
