Chapter 2 Best friends

Once in the courtyard, I lowered my head and started heading towards the entrance of the building. My family members were not aware of what happened when they dropped me off there.

However, I couldn't tell them anything. I should deal with it myself. Well, it wasn't like I was alone in this place.

As I was about to climb the steps of the entrance, I heard someone call my name. I stopped and looked around, looking for the person. I knew who it was, since only two people in this school called me by my real name.

Dominique.

We have been friends since we started high school. I always remembered our first meeting. That day, I was calmly having my lunch, and he, crazy that he was, had decided to try to steal my lunch.

I punched him in the face and he slammed me on the ground, which cost us both to be glued.It was interesting to be glued with him. I didn't know that a person could throw a spitball so far that it reached the inside of a sleeping teacher's nose. I didn't know what I would do if I lost him as my best friend.

"Happy birthday, Belle! ", he shouted, pulling me in his embrace, hugging me tightly in his arms. In my turn, I wrapped my arms around his neck, smiling. He withdrew before bowing dramatically and handed me a velvet red cupcake with an Oreo icing . Yum!

"Thank you, Domi," I said, giving him another hug before taking a small bite of the delicious cupcake.

"And here is your gift..."

"Domi, I told you I didn't want a gift."I whine while pouting

In front of him while crossing my arms on my chest, always holding the cupcake.

"Yes, you've always said it, but when did I start listening to you?"He scored a point. No matter how many times I told him not to buy me gifts, he always did. I raised my hands as a sign of capitulation, giving him a mischievous look. He smiled before rummaging through his bag and taking out a small black box. He opened the box, which startled me. Inside was a small bracelet with a half-heart on which we could read "Best... "

"Domi, it's so beautiful. Thank you!" I said, putting the bracelet on my wrist before hugging him again. I stepped back, then I asked for the other half. He winked at me before taking out his car keys and showing them to me. I smiled when I saw that the other half was in the form of a key ring, on which you could read the word "Friends".

He then began to put the two halves together, showing the whole: "Best friends".

"I love it! Thank you very much Domi. "

It was honestly one of the best gifts I had ever received.Dominique and I have always had this thing of surpassing ourselves to offer gifts. To tell the truth, by the latter, he had beaten me flatly. I needed to improve my game.

"If I ever miss you, you can just look at this, and remind yourself that I will be there waiting for you, when you come back," he said sincerely, putting away his keys.

"I could never forget you, Domi. Unfortunately, you would make sure that I never forget you," I said in a teasing tone when we heard the bell ring.We looked at each other before climbing the stairs and entering the school. We went to our lockers, took our books before going to our respective classes.

Walking alone was a little difficult for me. However, I was not a "wimp", but I had chosen not to Fight against people, or complain by saying that people harassed me all the time. But this only happened when Dominique was not there.

I finally reached the classroom and noticed that I was the first person to arrive. I rolled my eyes, knowing that it's not surprising. I took my seat in the front and waited for the bell to ring.

I glanced to my left, through the window, to notice a luxury car parking in the school yard. A man came out of it and I immediately recognized who it was. It was indeed the Alpha Edmond de la Combe. Even I couldn't deny that he was a handsome kid, but unfortunately, he knew it too. He slept with everything that moved and had breasts. And it was a fact, not a simple personal opinion. I turned away from him when I heard the bell ring.

People began to enter the class, followed by the teacher. I scratched my neck feeling my wolf start jumping with excitement. It was strange. I could feel her in me but she hadn't said a word yet; I didn't even know her name. I just shrugged my shoulders, not wanting to take care of this crazy she-wolf for the moment.

The teacher made the call before the bell of the first hour rang. I got my things back before leaving the room and heading to my first class. It took a little longer because I was jostled twice by a group of athletes. I just ignored these morons before entering the classroom.

I took my seat, which was surprisingly at the bottom, and waited for the teacher to start the lesson. While everyone was filling the room, I simply ignored the rude comments they were throwing at me, being used to all this now.

When will these people grow up?

Is it too much to ask?

The teacher finally entered the Classroom and started the lesson, discussing something we had already learned. I still didn't understand anything. We always move on to a new class, but we are always taught the same things. Of course, not all classes are like that, but most are. It was becoming extremely boring. Couldn't they teach us something different for once?

I immediately stopped fulminating in my head when I smelled the most delectable perfume there is. It was a combination of mint and chocolate.My two favorite smells combined.

Then, my she-wolf announced the only word I had feared since I woke up this morning.

"Companion?"
