Jessica
Tiana walked in right before miss Brig , I wasn't expecting her to come today so it was shocking. Finally my best friend is putting on her big girl panties.
A grin spread across my face when our eyes locked and she immediately came to sit next to me. " Hey bestie," she exclaimed. " Hey bitch," I replied grinning at her.
" Settle down everyone," miss Brig said standing in the middle of the class. " Today we are going to do imaginative drawing, I want to be impressed."
" Can I draw a vagina?" Toby asked making the boys laugh and the girls gasp in surprise and others blush due to the awkwardness.
" Except for that and any other sexual organs, please," Miss Brig said sighing as the class went into another roar of laughter. Tiana then raised her hand.
" Yes," Miss Brig motioned her to stand . " May I have a hall pass?" Tiana asked getting up and walking towards our arts teacher to get the hall pass. " Be quick," is all miss Brig said to her; Tia gave a slight nod in response.
After Tiana walked out everyone got to work the boys still stuck on the idea of drawing girls naked or vaginas; and they did regardless.

" Remind me never to do imaginative drawing again," miss Brig said in the middle of the class as she went through the class, looking at everyone's work.
" Tiana hasn't returned?" She asked frowning at the empty seat beside me. I was so engrossed in my work that I didn't notice her absence; I turn my gaze to the clock and saw that it's almost time for class to end which means she's been gone for a solid thirty minutes.
After biology I got really worried because no one had seen Tia since morning. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I ended up bumping into someone. " Oh, sorry," I said.
" It's okay," Raphael's voice broke through my concentration. " Are you okay? You seem bothered," he asked sounding concerned. Oh my god he cares? My heart ached a bit at this. " Tiana," I said trying not to cry.
" Who's Tiana?" He asked wrapping a hand around my shoulders.
" My best friend. She... she's no where in sight, I tried calling her but her phone keeps going to voicemail," I said trying to calm down. This isn't like Tiana to just disappear at school, no matter how bad her day goes she never just disappears.
" Have you tried checking the girls washroom?" He asked.
" I've checked everywhere," at this point the lamp on my throat was chocking me. " It's not like her to just disappear from class, or leave school without telling a teacher or anyone. There's something wrong and I know it's something related to Friday," I said tears falling from my eyes. He cupped my face before whipping my tears away with his thumb. Why is he doing this?
" Don't cry love, pretty girls shouldn't cry," my heart ,"I'll find her I promise".
I nodded and we made our way down the hall together searching for Tiana. " Jess!" My heart leaped in my chest at the sound of a familiar voice. " Jess!" Mia came running towards me and Raphael. " Have you found her yet?" She asked when she got closer.
" Not yet," I sniffed rubbing my tears away. " Raphael's helping," I said motioning to the charming guy next to me who is definitely making me feel things.
" I've texted my friends they're looking too," he said earning a nod from Mia.
" Girl don't cry will find her," she said coming to stand in-between me and Raph. By now his like the most wanted guy in school so what ever chance girls get to get close to him, they take it; and Mia was doing the same. It's weird but I feel jealous all of a sudden.
" You two go report this to the teachers and I'll check the rest of the school," he said, " and Jessica, please don't cry". He whipped away my tear promising to find Tiana then we parted ways.

Raphael's POV.
I was so impatient when I got to the school and didn't get to see my mate. The things that where happing around me didn't interest me and I was so bored.
A girl named Christina kept trying to get me to talk to her. She was very frustrating as she kept asking me questions, I know am attractive but the length she was going at, trying to get to me was shocking. She had publicly ended things with her boyfriend earlier that day, which was fun to watch by the way; but I wasn't expecting to be the next in line on her list. She even forcefully kissed me at her lunch table which left me frozen. Things like these have never happened before.
After that I left the school premises and rushed home because I was beyond disgusted. I had met a girl though on my way out, I bumped into her making her drop all the books she was holding. She oddly resembled my mate which left me speechless. I stared at her for a while before I found my voice and asked for her name.
" Jessica," she said and after helping her with pick up the books and a brief conversation I was out of the place.
My girls helped me calm down but that didn't do much for my Lion; he was beyond upset, funny thing is he was mad at me for letting that girl kiss us. After a talk with my best friend he convinced me to return the next day and I did.
" Maybe she was unwell yesterday, right?"
The morning of the next day wasn't as eventful. I could feel her but because I hadn't marked her sent I didn't know where she was exactly. It's like I knew she was in the building but couldn't see her because I was blind.
I was hoping to follow her presence with my senses but ended up bumping into Jessica again. She was a mess and I wanted to help her calm down so I agreed to help her out. Walking down the hallway I heard a cellphone ringing and I followed it to the boys locker room. It was deserted by the time I entered a lovely feminine sent lingering faintly in the air.
Mate?
