Beta Mates

Chapter 4

Emitt's P.O.V

"A picture?!" Mickey all but screams in the crowded hallways causing various heads to turn our way.

"Shut up!" I hiss angrily as he bites his lip trying to stifle his giggles. I give him a warning glare before we continue walking.

"He did? Bacon Bits took a picture of you!" He whispers harshly as he jumps around a little crazily, Bacon Bits was our code name for Beckett.

"I don't think it's a good thing. I think my hair was messed up and I was sweating a l-"

"Shut up! Shut up!" He says angrily. "This is a good thing." He instructs me harshly as we approach my locker.

"How?"

"He clearly likes you, as a friend I mean. But that can be altered." He says making me scoff at the ridiculous idea.

"Bacon Bits is straight and I know that. I'm trying to keep my crush to a manageable low, if I think I have a chance I'll basically kill myself trying to win him over." I say with a sigh as I switch out books from my tidy locker, I considered putting in a mirror so I could watch him from my locker but I wasn't smart enough to work out the science of that.

"But he's so snackable! Like.."

"Bacon Bits...." I finish for him as we sigh together.

"I think something's starting up." He says looking at me seriously. "It has to."
I look at him for a bit opening my mouth to reply but shut it quickly.
We branch off into another conversation as I gather my things before we set on our course to hell again.

I groan loudly when I bounce into someone for the fourth time for the morning sending my shit flying to the ground once again. I glance up to see who was my fourth victim as I searched around aimlessly with my hands for my belongings.

"Hey."
My heart stops as I find myself looking into those heart clenching, forest green eyes that made my stomach swirl.

"Hi." I say recovering quickly, it was getting easier to talk to him the more we did. "Sorry for bumping into you." I say guilty as I stand to my feet along with him after gathering all my things.

"Don't worry bout it." He says before giving me a weak smile and walking away. I frown a little as I watch him disappear into the crowd, I wish we could talk more, just five minutes. That's all I wanted.

I get dragged out of my thoughts by a deafening scream that Mickey emits causing the whole hallway to come to a standstill. I watch him with wide eyes as he clenches his chest tightly with a paper crumpled between his fingers and a blinding smile that was a bit too bright.

"Holy fuck!" He shouts before grabbing my wrist and dragging me through the crowd that slowly started back up their usual routine. I stumble behind him completely confused whilst he pulled me like a rag doll that had no purpose. I give up on asking him where we were going after about the twelfth time of doing so and receiving no answer. He pushes me through a random door, making me stumble into a pitch black room with no source of light. He shuts the door behind him making me squeak a little as I stand there silently, a light comes on thankfully revealing the empty, small room that we were standing in the middle of.

"Nice place you got here." I say sarcastically.

"Shut up!" He shouts jumping, yes jumping, up and down. "Shut up! I don't know how you missed it, I really don't!"

"Missed what?"

"This!" He shouts pushing the paper into my chest. Unfolding it carefully, my eyes widen considerably as I stare at the ripped piece of paper with several digits and a little note that made me heart beat faster.
