Jed grinned.
“I thought we discussed this.” I glared up at him but he still grinned.
“I just wanted to see how you were doing.”
“Fine.” I gathered my Algebra book in my arms and spun away from Jed. He caught my hand before I could get far enough away though.
“Can I walk you to class?” It didn’t look like he was breathing as he watched the indecision on my face.
“Ok.” My sigh turned into a groan.
“It’s hard for us to stay away from you,” he proclaimed way too loudly.
“Shh,” I hissed.
He turned a sudden corner and pulled me along with him. He had a death grip on my hand so I didn’t have a choice but to follow him or live a life with only one hand. He set a quick pace to the end of the hall where we ducked into a small room marked “supplies”.
“Now we can talk.” My eyes adjusted quickly to the dark, but I still couldn’t see very much. I could tell that he was way too close to me though.
“What are we doing?”
“Rueben and I had a talk last night.”
“And he told you to bring me into the supply closet?”
“He suggested the boys’ bathroom. I improvised.”
I was silent for a heartbeat, trying to decide if he was kidding or being serious. Probably joking. “What did you two talk about?”
“Mostly you.”
There was a big surprise. “And?”
“We’ve decided that we aren’t staying away from you.”
“Well, you have to.”
“We toyed with the idea that maybe you could have a different boyfriend, one outside of the pack.” He growled low and shook his head, as if I had suggested it.
“I don’t need you two playing matchmaker for me.”
“The whole pack agreed.”
“So?” I didn’t like having this conversation with Jed, especially not in such close quarters.
“Rueben might be your first choice, but he has a girlfriend. If he broke up with Carlie to go out with you that would be the end for you.” He didn’t give me a chance to comment. “I would be a good boyfriend for you Willow.” His hand slid along my side, causing me to jump backwards and slam my head into a shelf.
“Ow.” I touched my head to check for blood. Jed chuckled softly.
He leaned his face close to mine so that our lips were almost touching. “You don’t have to be so jumpy,” he whispered. “I won’t bite unless you want me to.”
My stomach dropped to my knees. All my life I’d only ever wanted to be a normal teenage girl, but now I was cursing my teenage hormones to the pits of Hades. I had no experience with boys - whether they turned into wolves or not. “I don’t really care about being a cheerleader,” I whispered stupidly. He made it even more difficult to think when his thumb began to caress the skin at the small of my back.
“Will you be my girlfriend, Willow?” he spoke low in my ear.
I sucked in a mouthful of air. “All right.” I nodded in case he didn’t understand the strangled words.
I saw his teeth flash briefly before I felt his lips softly on mine. It wasn’t a passionate kiss, more just a seal to our deal. It was disappointing really.
In all the books I’d read and movies I’d watched, a girl’s first kiss was a big deal. My first kiss
