Chapter 48 - 48: Awkward Things

Kelsey

After lunch Skye and Dylan left and Lily went to see Luke, the rest of us dispersed to do different things. Drake had to go do prince stuff so I decided to go home and play video games. Like how Skye said Lily wanted to play with Willow... Who—unlike all of us—went to school. Pf anyways. I used the device thing to make a portal to my house and landed on the other side in my hangout room. I turned on my Xbox and T.V. and played Halo 3 the rest of the day, so much for school. I headed to bed after it was one in the morning. 'Should probably actually bother trying to go to school tomorrow.' I muttered in my head, Drake chuckling and agreeing. I changed and crawled into bed, falling asleep soon after getting comfy.

I woke up at my proper time and got ready for school then headed downstairs. I poured myself some cereal and ate it, my mom's at work so I didn't have to awkwardly talk to her. I looked at the time and noticed I should be leaving now so I grabbed my bag, slipped my shoes on and headed out the door. I got in my car and drove to school, like always. Went to english and sat down in my usual seat beside Kat, glancing over I saw Drake wasn't here yet.

'Where you at mate of mine?' I mind link asked.

'Got caught up in alpha shit, I'm just leaving now,' he answered, sounding tired.

To try and make him feel better I said, 'Being stuck in alpha shit sounds pretty damn gross, no wonder you sound fed up. I wouldn't wanna be stuck in some alpha's shit.' I heard him snort in amusement but he didn't reply at all. Class started and Mr. H decided to leave me alone today since I was respectfully being quiet. I've realized I should probably treat him with a little more respect since he is trying to just do his job and teach all us dumb teenagers. But if he gives me too much attitude, ima still hardcore sass his ass. After about fifteen minutes Drake causally walked through the door, ignoring everyone staring at him and sat down.

"Finally joining us I see. Anyway, back to the lesson:" the teacher commented then started blabbing on about whatever he's teaching. I looked at my mate who gave me a small, tired smile and leaned back in his chair.

'Up early again huh?' I asked. He gave a small nod, his eyes drooping. I gave him a sympathetic look then got picked on to answer a question. I rolled my eyes and answered correctly, going back to staring at my mate. The rest of school was super boring as always and after school Drake had to do more training stuff so I headed back home to draw. I had just started drawing his wolf when Skye appeared out of thin air.

"Jesus! Christ! Could at least teleport in front of my door and knock or something holy fuck." I exclaimed, tryna get my heart to stop running a track and field race.

She smirked slightly and replied, "Sorry." She then sat down in front of me.

"What brings you to my house to scare me to death?" I joked glancing up at her as I continued to draw.

"Uh... First thing to ask isn't bad; is smelling fucking amazing one of the things mates have? And.. ugh.. Very awkward question I wish I would not ask. But I need to while a certain eavesdropper isn't anywhere near here." She answered, referencing Dylan I assume.

"Yeah it is, you smell like your mates favorite smell but way better and vise versa. And umm.. Okay?" I responded, unsure what the hell she could possibly want to ask.

"Just gonna be blunt about it, how soon after being with Drake did you guys have sex?" If I was drinking something I would have had the worlds largest spit take ever. I did NOT think she would ever even consider talking about that kind of stuff, unless it were the factual side of talking about it and how it works. I never imagined she'd talk about people she knows, or talk about herself having sex.

"U-uhh.... Whyyyy?????" I stuttered awkwardly.

Her face started going red and she replied, "Just answer please."

I chuckled a tiny, tiny bit then answered, "Like a week after mildly exiting the friend zone. Possibly not normal for most other regular world couples but.. I mean we're mates, destined to be together forever so seemed right. Plus we were friends for a while first so we weren't really strangers. Why, did you and... do it??" I then raised a brow curiously at her as her face got even redder. I started smiling when she refused to answer. "You did??! When?!" I exclaimed, feeling happy for her.

"Holy fuck stop with the excitement jesus christ." She embarrassment growled. "Last night..." She quietly muttered, face as red as a tomato now. "Don't fucking scream at me like Lily would, whole reason I'm talking to you. I mean aside from the fact you know about this mate stuff... If Lily finds out, the entire world is literally going to blow up from how loud she's going to scream. You saw how she was when I lied about it, it'd be worse if I told her and wasn't lying. So don't." She ranted/demanded. I tried fighting the smile on my face, doing a very poor job I have to say.

"I'm so happy for you! How long have you guys been like dating together?" I asked, sounding like a nosy best friend. And obviously nosy little sister.

She rolled her eyes and sighed, "Pretty much three months. Is that considered taking a relationship slow.. or not?"

I chuckled and answered, "I would say so, yes. Are you regretting it now though?" She looked away and slightly shook her head. "Then why are you acting like you're afraid of something or somethin?" I lightly teased.

"Cause I don't even know why the fuck I'm talking about this with someone who isn't my own head. Let alone have done what we did, I gave up on the thought of life partner years ago. My attitude used to be, "I'd rather die than talk about anything to do with that shit" and now I'm being weird and *shudder* open about shit with people and it's fucking me up man. It's fricken weird." She said, sounding both scared but angry at the same time.

I gave a sympathetic smile and replied, "That's not entirely a bad thing you know, you can be open with me, Kat, Drake, Jason. Obviously Dylan, Lily and Mason. Yeah you'd have to be kinda cautious at first with other people, but letting people in isn't bad."

She frowned at me and flatly stated, "Lily was the first person I truly trusted after years. And YEARS. Of betrayal and fake people using me for entertainment then telling me to kill myself. And that was them being nice."

I sighed and responded, "My entire time living in New York, Jason was the one and only actual friend I had. For the fourteen or fifteen years he was actually there. We grew up together. He had some other friends, but they never wanted to be around me cause my eyes freaked them out. Then Jason was apparently going nuts without his mate so he decided to try and make me hate him so I wouldn't be as heartbroken when he left to find her. There's these three bitches, they came all the way here just for me. They still think they can beat me, by scratching with their fake nails and kicking me. I burned one alive a little while back... Sadly she's still alive somewhere."

Skye looked slightly baffled but then whipped her head to look at the balcony and completely changed the conversation, "So is Drake's wolf your favorite or is your own?"

I figured I should play along and answered, "I think mines cooler. Though yours is a mix of both so I don't really know.." I heard a glass knock come from my balcony and saw Dylan, #notsurprisedonebit, standing there smiling at Skye. I felt a little awkward now that I know what they did like twelve or more hours ago. The doors magically opened themselves so I looked at my sister in a way that asked if it was her.

"You jealous or somethin bish?" She teased. I rolled my eyes and went invisible. She laughed and stated, "We gotta get you doing stealth training, you're still sitting on a fluffy carpet."

"How the fuck did I forget that? When I fought dumbass Z I made sure that I was like downwind, not casting any shadows and didn't land on the ground till I wanted to be visible again." I retorted mostly at myself. Both of them chuckled a little at me. "Anyway, what draws your flight to my balcony Dylan?" I said in a weird fancy voice.

"My beautiful girlfriend who's trying to hide from me." He teased her, pure love and amusement in his expression as he started playing with her hair. She glared and flailed her hands at his and huffed when he finally stopped. I smiled at the major cuteness going on and waited for their moment to be over.

My sister glared at him some more then growled, "Bitch shut the fuck up." Dylan laughed and sat down.

"So what are you guys up to?" He asked me, amusement still twinkling in his eyes.

"Well, I was drawing Drake's wolf so we were talking about what wolf we think looks better; his, mine, or hers." I answered, keeping Skye's lil secret.

"You haven't even actually shown me yours yet, miss "I can't shift to a wolf" come on show me." Dylan annoyed her more, then somewhat begged. She sighed and rolled her eyes then stood up and backed away from us. She shifted to a smaller version of her wolf, like I do. Though how she learned so fast without a teacher is beyond me. She looks exactly like my wolf but black instead of white, kinda weird but cool. Dylan seemed to piece that together too. "Isn't yours the same but white?" He asked me curiously. I nodded and copied what my sister did.

I then scampered over to her side and asked, 'We twins or what?'

Dylan chuckled and nodded, replying, "Definitely twins, kinda like a yin yang symbol actually." We looked each other over then nodded in agreement.
