Once at the nurse's office, Logan had told Mrs. Smith, the primary nurse of the school, a woman in her late forties had examined my health and said to us that it was just a tempory cough from not breathing correctly and told me I could go back to class, but I asked her if I can stay here for a while which she didn't decline. Mrs. Smith then told us she would be out doing errands for a minute. Then she grabbed her car keys and left the office. And it just became the two of us alone.
I sat on the bed provided for students to lie down. I held my stomach and looking down watching the ceramic floor.
It was entirely for a second between Logan and me, but then he started to break that silence by asking me the same questions just minutes ago. I ignored him.
"So, you are not going to tell me why you are covered in scars?
Silence is what I can give him. I hugged my arms as well hiding the visible scars that can be seen from afar. How can I be so stupid not to wear something before I put on my P.E. uniform? Now, theatre class has seen my scars, but now it got the new students curious as well.
"Well?"
I look away, eyes sidestep away from his eyes, and purse my lips. "It's not your concerned."
Logan smirked. "Why are you being stubborn?"
"Why are you being annoying?"
"I annoy you because your feeling hot for me."
My mouth agape open in shock. "Do you have any idea what you just said to me?"
"Yeah, I'm hot which is why you are always red when I'm talking to you."
"That is because you of all people started talking to me like we know each other." I bellowed. "Who do you think you are?"
When he lifted his blue eyes on me I just felt a sudden shudder, not because of his cold icy glare but he shot them at me only made my whole body heated up. I quickly looked away avoiding his stare.
Why is he staring at me like that? What is with this guy?
I felt the tip of his finger as he held my chin as he slowly forces my face to look up at his I inhaled the moment I locked my eyes on his. "Look at me," one word had me condemned immediately.
As he did in class, he was closer than ever, and I could not ignore the beating heart hitting my chest. His eyes were so beautiful, the shade I never have seen on anyone. I felt something coming off of them; intensity, honesty, a gentleness. Despite looking like a mountain man - ruggedly features and all I see he's not a boy but already a man.
I couldn't point out his features because I wasn't lingering to write down everything about him in my mind but now that I have the time I guess I could say what makes him stands out from all the other guys in this school.
Robust features; strong chiseled jaw with a hint of aftershave. I find it appealing. His skin almost tan from being under the sun too long but he looks perfect in a way uniquely made the lines of his muscles and abs stand out.
But it was his sapphire blue eyes caught my attention the most, flecked with white specks that had me breathless that just under his long black eyelashes made it brighter.
I couldn't help myself stare into his eyes as if they were overpowering for me to avoid. He wanted me to look at him and tell me with that a stare that I can trust him. I barely know him today, and already he has this magic spellbinding me from the start with his eyes on me that he already made his claim. Like a wolf finding his mate. But, I don't have the qualities for him to be concerns of my wellbeing. Logan should just leave me alone like everybody else.
Yanked my head out from under his thumb and shifted my eyes away from his before I fear that he and I would do something we both regret. "Just leave me alone."
I felt him let out a heavy sighed. "Fine, just be a bitch. I'm just being nice and worried about you."
I snorted. Worried?
Did he call me a bitch?
That is when I snapped. I jumped off the bed standing in front of his massive frame glaring up. "You don't even know me so, why are you so concerned about me?"
"I'm concerned because that is how I raised. You think I'm just going to ignore a classmate of mine being bullied?" He argued. "And maybe I do want to get to know you."
"Oh, so you picked the weakest girl out of the entire school just to petty on her. Tell that to the brunette you were giving head on the roof not to long ago. Also, why be concerned now while I was up there excusing yourself that you and your brother disturbed my lunch? I could have let the roof for you two have sex. What is it? Too embarrassed about it?" I let my voice heard. It's been long since I usually talked than my mouse tone. I always thought if I kept my tone as low as it can be then no one can judge me but then again, it was a total opposite. People thought I was a freak with my new look and attitude. I kept it that way for years until now.
And I felt so much better finally hearing my real voice.
"Do, I hear jealousy coming from your lips?" Logan smirked unaffected to be shy about the birds, and the bees had made me angrier.
"Look, fucker," I snarled at him. "I don't know what your deal is. I'm not letting you get the better of me so I can be the girl-whatever number you tag me as, you act like the bad boy you are, but you are the most narcissistic guy I ever met."
"I've been called worse, baby girl."
"Don't think your kindness could tempt me. The like of you will never fool me."
"You think, me being nice to you means I want something in return? That I want to fuck you? You ain't that special." His voice was husky and annoyed at the same time when he said the F-word. "Your tail is not The only one I'm chasing after, baby girl."
I froze.
That hurt.
Saying I'm not unique and not the tail he's chasing really hurt my pride as a woman. Means I'm not valuable to be the woman I should be. I know I shouldn't feel this way from the words off a guy's lips but saying that he instead fuck other girls and be a dick about it. If he doesn't want to get into my leggings that is fine by me.
I shouldn't be unique to anyone not to him in any way.
Then I blink my eyes. "Don't call me that," I growled. "I don't care what you do just to gain access inside my panties. I'm not going to be on your hit list of whores. Just leave me the fuck alone. I don't need anyone's concerns, and I don't need them coming from you."
Stepped away to grabbed my bag off the chair and with one last glare message Logan not to fuck with me. I passed by him walking out of the nurse's office and left the school grounds never bothered to stay for last period because I don't want to face another nuisance who got me wearing my P.E. uniform in the first place.
"Effie?" Athena banged my door, and her voice muffled behind it. "Time to get up. You are going to be late."I pulled the covers over my head, hiding under them, then called back. "I don't want to."I could sense my sister's shock by my free voice, then banged the door again. "Effie, what is wrong?" I didn't answer, but my silence won't let my sister leave. "Aphrodite Catherine Reid, you open this damn door!"I let her hit my door several times, ignoring her calling my full name. Then I heard another door close outside my room. "What is wrong? Why are you so loud?""Something is wrong with Effie," my sister replied to Ares."She is probably not feeling well. Let the girl take a break from school, you ghoul.""That is not it. I heard her voice.""You what?!" the loud bangs on my door grew louder and faster, and I knew it was coming from Ares. "Effie, open the door!" His voice panicked.I inwardly rolled my eyes and grunted.My older siblings know I don't respond to them in the morning
"You okay?" I opened my eyes and looked up at the voice to see a man with dark hair, a little long but not as long as Logan's as dark blue eyes staring down at me. He had a tank shirt in white, revealing his muscle pack arms with multiple tattoos, which he's using to carry my wedding style. Panic and humiliated, I duck my head lower from him. Then his chest rumbled in laughter. "You are a tiny thing, aren't you, princess." "Seth, what the hell are you doing?" Another deep male voice from the house made me cringe at this guy's name. Seth then paused. "Who's this?" "Oh, I caught a cat trying to climb the tree, which happens to be a fairy," joked Seth as he turned around to face the other guy. "Can we keep her?" "No, can you put her down because I could tell you are scaring her," said the other guy when I got the look to see he also has the same features as Seth. "I'm not scaring her; you were the one coming at me like a giant bear ready to eat her," Seth laughed, making the other guy
I'm sitting on the bed inside the room of Logan Wolfe.I'm shaking out of my wits here. Just a few minutes ago, I was bawling in front of four brothers who had heard and seen everything that had been going on with my miserable life, and that is something I shouldn't be revealed in front of others.My brain is always searching around the room, making myself aware of the inside chamber of a boy. I've been inside Ares room once when I was looking for my iPhone because apparently, he broke his during a fight with some guy at the bar and destroyed his phone in the process, so Athena and I had to take turns letting him use our phones until he received the replacement.Ares's room was different than Logan's - entirely different. But, the one thing that separates my brother and Logan's room is that clothes surround his place. It's a total mess because he goes to work early, then comes home late or the next day, so he doesn't have time to organize. Athena would have to pick up his dirty clothe
"Shit!" He hissed as he got off the bed and rubbed his forehead. "What the hell?""I'm sorry, I shouldn't be doing this. Don't you have a girlfriend or someone you have benefits with because I'm not that type of girl to be played with," I freaked out and limped my way off his bed, heading towards the door when he caught me by the wrist, stopping me from leaving?"Wait, Aphrodite, just listen-" he was cut off when I heard voices downstairs. A man and woman, and I recognize the female voice anywhere.I let my wrist go from Logan's grip, headed out his door, and made my way down the stairs when I slowly heard my sister's voice coming from the family room. I ran over there and saw Thea sitting on a guy's lap who looked similar to Logan's and his brother's, but his head was shaved off but had a rough mustache and beard with the same pair of blue eyes. I'm guessing this is the guy Don mentioned calling. Rex has the same matching tribal tattoo on his right arm. Looking at how macho and older
The next day when I came back from my fake illness, I considered that day the best day because an angel encountered me. And that angel came by my locker again today. "Aphrodite?" I was surprised by a sudden voice that had me speaking a bit, thinking it was Logan. I know that's not his voice. I was expecting to start another day this morning, but as I closed my locker and faced the person behind it, I was stunned. Paul Walker My ass. I wish it's possible, but Paul is in a better place now, and even if we're still alive and had a son who looks just like him, then I wouldn't be joking around - but he has a brother. Although, he wouldn't be a high school student. No, the person talking to me was my high school's pretty boy, top of his class and overachiever, not to mention Paris's boyfriend, Clark Mason. "H-hi-h-hi..." I was stammering and stuttering. I think both are the same expression I'm giving off Clark, and he's looking at me as if I'm having a seizure. I mean, it's Clark Mas
It's been a long time since I could talk to someone and nothing happened to her. I worried that she would get hurt if she got too close to my personal space. I let people out of my life, expecting them to ignore me. But, the only people that had somehow cracked a hole in my invisible wall were Logan and Lily.I hope everything between Lily and me isn't going too fast that we would hang out now that she talked to me."Hey, can I have your number?"I looked at her and told her, "No.""What? Oh, come on." She whined. "Don't be so cruel. I thought we were friends here.""We are," I admitted, re-reading the lines."Then why can't you give me your number?'"Because it's broken, my replacement won't arrive until tomorrow," I told her. After Hurricane Athena ended, I had to call for a replacement, and luckily we have insurance in case something would give the carrier to provide us with a brand new phone. But, it doesn't arrive until tomorrow morning. I'm stuck being phone-less."Oh, then I ca
Students in the hall all pass by, but their eyes would land on us while they walk by."Clark Mason," Lily whispered in shock, like how I was when he started talking to me. Her eyes and mouth were wide open to let the bugs fly in. Then when she snapped out of it, she started nudging my arm. "You talked with Clark Mason? How is he talking to you?"I ignored Lily's excitement that the school idol was talking to us, but he approached us because he only came for one person."Hey, Aphrodite," he smiles, "going to sixth period?"Well, duh, Sherlock, it's the last class.This guy has been bugging me since I said no to dating him, and now he thinks it's okay that we talk like buddies. I mean, since he spoke to me first as we talked like friends, I felt he was coming on to me strong, and a gut feeling tells me that he would never quit.Not once did he listen to me each class yesterday when I told him to stop following me to my classes. Talking about the Supernatural only made the awkwardness be
"Run by me that again?" Logan's voice became dark as he asked. I heard Liam whispering to his twin to stop, but that didn't help."That's right, Aphrodite and I are dating, and as her boyfriend, I suggest you get the hell away from her, or there will be consequences." Clark threaten."Oh, brah, you don't know the meaning of consequences because that is what I intend to do when I rip your throat out." His husky voice means that he is serious about hurting Clark. Logan is twice his size because of all the abs he's packing, and I don't think Clark has a chance. So, words are his offense and defense."Well, brah, if you don't want to get in trouble like from your old school. You don't want to give tension to your new friends. So, I suggest you back off."Even with the pain, I had turned slowly to take a peek at Logan and saw he didn't hesitate to tackle Clark. Even with the same age range, Logan is so much bigger and could physically hurt Clark, but mentioning his old school had to stop t
