I wanted Pete's attention, and I do not want to stay away from Barry.
"Pixie?"
A light voice called my name while I was still lost in the memories that kept rushing in my head.
"Pixie?" A different light voice called, but I didn't respond.
"Pixie!!" My nana's voice jolted me out of my long line of thoughts. My naughty memories automatically stopped and I was back to the present.
"Nana?" My eyes are wide while my nana gave me a questioning look.
"You were distracted by goddess knows what" My nana observed, narrowing her eyes at me.
My other cousins are also staring questioningly at me. I forced a smile.
"We are about to eat right?" I asked to divert the topic.
"Well, we are already eating and noticed you weren't" My nana said, gesturing to other plates on the table. They were filled with food and cutleries while mine was still empty.
I glanced at Barry, he had his eyes on his plate full of food, smirking like the asshole he is. I clenched my jaw and began to dish out my food.
One of my cousins who has always had a crush on Barry, tapped her long white finger nails on the table and I knew she was just trying to get Barry's attention.
"Barry, will you be staying with us again like the old times?" She asked with a cute smile.
"I hope not" I whispered under my breath, hoping no one hears.
"Well, you see Tina, I plan on spending enough time with you guys, have a happy holiday together, but a particular someone does not want me here" Barry replied without casting me a glance but I knew he was referring to me as the 'Particular someone'.
Tina pouted "I hope you just stay here forever"
Barry threw her his smile that sweeps girls off their feet.
"Yeah, we want to see your handsome face here everyday" another one of my cousin says, making me roll my eyes.
"And I wanna see that tattoo" Tina added, pointing to the dark diagram peeking from his rolled shirt. "How long have you had that?"
I scoffed "He's had that since high school, he almost got me into trouble the day he got it" I answered sharply and it took the long stares from everyone at the table for me to process my words and understand I should've kept my mouth shut.
"Interesting" Pete said beside me and drank some water "Why don't you just fill us on how everything happened that day?"
I bit my inner cheek and glanced at Barry who had an evil lopsided smile on his face. I wish I could just slap his smirk away.
"No, I think Barry should do the explanation, I wanna hear that sweet masculine voice describing the events" Tina said in an excited tone.
"Yeah!" Another of my cousin said energetically. When I said years ago that Barry looked like the guy that's gonna marry six wives all at once, I didn't know my cousins are gonna be the wives. They all wanna marry Barry.
Barry's smile still didn't wipe off "Are you sure you want me to talk about it?" He asked, staring at no one in particular, but the way his voice was low told me he was directing the question at me.
I breathed in. "They want you to tell them, so I think you should" I answered coldly.
"The full details?" He asked, the tone of his voice hinting me the hidden meaning to his words.
Full details. Only Barry and I understands what that means.
I swallowed and dropped my cutleries "Do whatever you think is right, Barry. Though last I remember, you don't do things right" I whispered harshly.
My nana glanced between us, trying to study us before she continued with her food, while the memory of how Barry got the tattoo and dragged me into his messed up life threatened to find its way into my brain, and as Barry started his story in a simpler and neutral tone, the flashback began to play in my head too, displaying the emotions and the feeling of sensations that Barry refused to add in his storytelling.
[Flashback]
"In the book of the dark lycans where we have story of werewolves that are able to shift only at night, hence why they are called 'dark lycans...."
The werewolf teacher taught in a boring tone even when the topic should be an interesting one, I just wasn't feeling it. I was feeling dizzy and if the girls at the back would stop whispering, maybe I'd be able to sleep through this class.
"Look at how sexy Pete is, his blue eyes concentrating on the teacher" I heard a girl admire Pete in a hushed tone.
"I swear to the goddess I'm really gonna fuck him one day" Another girl said in an undertone. Her words brought a lazy smile to my lips.
Crazy horny girls. They always swear to fuck Pete. Teenage life is crazy.
Suddenly, the large class went silent and that familiar cinnamon scent filled the air, pleasing me. I subconsciously inhaled.
"Now, look at the guy I'm gonna make sure I ride his dick before I die" I heard a girl said under her breath, and even as a half werewolf I could still pick her words.
She continued "Barry is hotter than Pete on so many levels"
The mention of Barry's name widened my eyes and the sleep automatically got killed. I sat straight on the chair and turned my head towards the entrance of the class. There he is, casually walking inside with the natural swagger he possess. There was easiness in the way he walks with pride like he was born with it, and also the way he pulls off a nice appearance with his bad boy outfit.
He easily commanded everyone's attention, including mine, and he does not seem to care he did.
He turned his head to my direction and our eyes locked in a brief intense gaze. Feeling nervous with the gaze he does not have a problem with maintaining, I quickly turned my face to the teacher who had his face scrunched up in displeasure.
Barry displeases all teachers and he does not even give a shit about that.
"Mr Barry Knight" The teacher called with heavy sarcasm causing Barry to stop on his tracks to look at the teacher.
"You are LATE" The teacher complained, emphasising on the word 'Late' "You are very late, like every other time"
Barry pinched his ear "Yeah, I know, sorry teach, I was busy" He said calmly.
"Busy?" The teacher asked with raised brows.
Barry gave the teacher a duh look "Yeah, with Alpha stuffs"
That is usually his excuse.
"I can't wait for him to be the Alpha of this pack" A girl at my back whispered excitedly to her friends.
The teacher scoffed and pointed to Pete who was calmly seated on his chair "He also gets busy with that same 'Alpha stuffs', yet he does not come late to classes"
The look on Barry's face told me he was fed up with the teacher's talks, so as he complains about his lateness, I could notice Barry's eyes subtly sliding to mine in a hot, brief gaze that makes me feel like the air in the class disappeared.
"---your behaviours are intolerable and I'm gonna..."
Barry licked his lips "But I said I'm sorry teach" He said in a quiet tone. "It won't happen again"
Barry says that whenever he's tired of being scolded. He just wanna get away with this one like he gets away with every other one.
The teacher glared angrily at him, pointing a long finger at him "Just make sure you see me after class!" then he waved casually to the front of the classroom "Go find a seat"
The girls in the class began to wave at Barry, calling his attention.
"Barry, you can sit with me, don't worry about my seatmate, he'll change his seat real quick" a girl right behind me said, but Barry simply winked flirtatiously at her and scanned the classroom with his hot dark gaze. He is probably looking for a sexy girl to seat with.
"Get seated, Barry" The teacher said in a tone that showed how annoyed he is with Barry. "Find someone without a seat partner real quick!"
Barry turned his head to the side and his gaze locked with mine once more. He smirked "I just found a seat"
Shit.
