Ashley's Pov
" Ashy baby!" I hear someone say from behind me
"Oh shit," Lexa says
I turn around to see my 'girlfriend' Octavia.
She runs up to hug me but I decline
She looks at me with confusion then notices my hand on Allissa's thigh.
"Who are you," She says to Allissa
Allissa stares at her with a sharp eye
Then she responds, "Octavia Sanchez, 17 years old and a witch"
We all just stare at her in confusion and surprise except for her friends that is.
"Oh where are my manners, I'm Allissa Anderson." She says reaching out to shake Octavia's hand.
Octavia slaps her hand away.
"How do you know who I am?!" Octavia half screams.
By now the whole cafeteria is watching us.
"Sweetie in a couple of years I am going to be the Deity of Vampires, I know everything about everyone. Including vampires, witches, wizards, and werewolves." Allissa says with a smirk on her face.
"Well, I hope you know this," Octavia responds practically red from anger, "Ashley is my girlfriend so you can back off."
Allissa chuckles not seeming the slightest bit fazed,
"Octavia I'm pretty sure everyone in here knows by now how the mating system works' you don't just get to pick who you like and that's that. On your 16th birthday, you meet your mates or in my case mates," She says with a smirk still plastered on her face.
"And the way I see it right now, you most likely rejected your mate just to be with Ashley. Well, news flash, Ashley and Lexa are my mates. Today is my 16th birthday and I'm not gonna some low-level witch as you ruin it, so get the fuck out of my face before I do something you won't like." She says practically yelling the last part.
Octavia stands there in shock but soon walks away still red but from embarrassment.
"Come on let's go guys," Allissa says to us
She looks at me and says "Not you" through gritted teeth.
I look at Lexa and she just shrugs.
I watch as they walk away and as Allissa intertwines her hand with Lexa.
Lexa's Pov
"Lexa?" Allissa says turning to face me
"Yes, love," I say
"You don't have any girlfriends that I have beat up do you?" She asks
I chuckle, I grab hold of her chin between my index finger and my thumb.
" I don't, I promise," I say while looking into her eyes.
I start to lean in and she seems to do the same.
Our lips come in contact, at first just slightly brushing against one another then dancing against each other. I lick her bottom lip asking for entrance which she immediately granted. Our tongues fought for dominance but she eventually gave in. I let my tongue explore her mouth while she does the same.
We break apart to catch our breaths.
"Wow," she says pressing our foreheads together.
"Yeah," I say staring into her eyes
"I'll see you after class?" She asks
"Sure" I respond
I watch as she walks down the hall into the classroom.
"So she's the supreme Deity's daughter huh," I say to myself
"Yup, that's her" I hear a voice say behind me
I turn to see one of her friends, Jordan.
"She amazing, so if you hurt her I will personally snap you in half," She says with a glare
"Trust me I intend on doing no such thing," I say in my usual monotone.
"Good. So, Lexa right?" She asks walking with me
"Yeah," I say
"What class do you have rn?"
"Oh, I have gym class."
"Same, today is tryouts for the girl's sports teams. You play sports?"
"Yeah I play basketball"
"So do I. Who knows maybe we'll be future teammates."
"Yeah maybe" I respond.
We enter the gymnasium where I see at least 25 other girls trying out but none of them look like any real competition.
"Oh this is gonna be easy " I hear Jordan say
I look up at the bleachers and I see a bunch of girls watching the basketball tryouts.
I head onto the court after taking off my shirt, leaving me in my sports bra and pants.
"Let's do this" I say to myself
Allissa's Pov
When I get into the classroom I only see a few people there.
"Hey where is the teacher?" I ask the remaining students
"She is absent today" A girl in the corner of the room responds.
"Ok. Your all dismissed then."
"I heard that the new girl Lexa is trying out for the basketball team" I hear another girl say
"Really lets go check it out" The girl next to her says
So Lexa plays basketball huh. Might as well go watch since I have nothing better to do.
When I head into the hallway I see Ashley rushing through the halls. When she notices me she stops.
"Allie, hey can I talk to you?" She says panting heavily
" You've got 3 minutes" I say glaring at her
"Look I know you're mad at me, but I honestly don't like Octavia anymore I broke up with her a few weeks ago but she won't take a hint and leave me alone. I'm sorry that I dated her in the first place and I don't want you to reject me as a mate. Please forgive me." She says in one breath.
"Okay I forgive you but if I see her near you again I will be sure to smash her face in." I say smirking at the thought.
"Really?"
I nod
She lifts me up by my thighs, I wrap my legs around her waist and my arms around her neck to make sure I don't fall backwards. She spins me around and our lips come in contact. At first our lips collide softly then very quickly almost as if with a hunger for one another.
When we pull apart I feel my face getting hotter by the second.
"You can put me down now" I say avoiding eye contact.
"No I think I'm good." She says
I can just hear the smirk on her face. Ugh!
"Ashley put me down I have to go somewhere"
"Nope, I'll just carry you there" She responds
"Fine I'm going to the gym."
"Then to the gym we go"
I sigh. This will be interesting.
