My Mate.....The Nerd

As I walked down the crowded halls of Lakeview High School, all you could hear were girls gossiping and guys taking about the up coming football game of the season. I reached my locker where I found my brother, Chris, practically devouring my best friend's mouth. I rolled my eyes and cleared my throat to get them to separate but they didn't listen. The worst part is, they were making out in front of my locker.

"Excuse me" I called but like I said, it's like they're ignoring me. I cleared my threat a bit louder but nothing.

I sighed and slammed my hand hard on the gray metal making them jump apart in alert, teeth baring with a growl. I raised a brow and they looked down at me, yes looked at me with wide eyes

"Are you done eating each other's faces? Because if you haven't noticed, we're in school and I need to get my things from this locker" I said pointing to the locker that Montana was currently pressed against by Chris.

"Sorry Ben" they murmured pushing back from it with blushes faces and I shook my head with a sigh.

Ever since Chris and Montana found out they were mates, they would make out anywhere and everywhere they could find. One time I found them making out behind a few trees back at the pack house. These are far worse then Brett and Braxton.

This year was Chris last year of high school while my friends and I had another year left. I guess I can understand why these two are practically devouring each other every chance they get even though they live together.

"Did you hear that we got invited to Dimitri's birthday next week?" Braxton said as he and the others arrived. I frowned, why would the Alpha of the King Pack invite us to his sons birthday?

"Did you know about that Chris?" I asked my brother only to be ignored as he and his girlfriend/mate are once again eating each other's faces.

"Alrighty then"I mumbled pushing them off my locker and opening it to grab my books for the first two classes of the day.

"I guess I'll have to ask my parents when I get home to find out since these two don't seem to understand the term 'get a room' " I muttered making my friends chuckle before we were walking away from the couple.

"Mom? Dad?" I called when I got home a few hours later. I sniffed the air when the most delicious scent assaulted my senses

"In the kitchen honey" mom yelled and I walked over to see her taking out something from the oven and the smell had my mouth watering

"What smells delicious?" I asked

"Pot roast and beans" she said with a smile. Just thinking of that had my stomach growling and my mouth watering.

"How was school, son?" Dad asked and I shrugged

"Same as always. Though Braxton said that we were invited to the a party for the King's son" I said taking a seat across from him and he nodded

"That's right. Xander called while you were in school to say we were invited to his son's birthday next Saturday" he replied taking a sip of his juice and I nodded. The King and Savage packs were two of the largest packs in Canada and I wasn't surprised that we were invited to the further alphas birthday.

Dimitri King is an attractive guy with dark brown hair and green eyes. He's the cockiest kid I know and that's saying something considering I know a lot of people who are cocky. He has a girl hanging off of his arm every other week and if that isn't enough, he's also the star linebacker for the football team. He's a major tool.

"Will also be his coronation or.....?" I asked not finishing my question

"He needs to find his mate first before he can get the title handed to him, Bennett" Dad answered and I nodded

"And we want you to behave. I know that you and their son don't get along, but just for one night please try to not argue with him?" Mom asked and I nodded

"Sure. I mean I'm not the one who starts them but for your benefit I won't fall for his jabs" I promise and they nodded with smiles. My brothers soon arrived with their mates and kids.The first to arrive were Benji and Bonnie.

Benji was the oldest of all of us at 32 years old. He's been married to his mate Bonnie for 7 year and have three adorable children. Tyson who is the replica of his father with black hair and blue eyes. And it doesn't surprise me that Benji dressed him like him. Both were wearing white pants, gray t-shirts with a jean jacket over it and matching boat shoes with their hair messy. Bonnie was a beautiful woman with black hair and brown eyes and thin lips. She was a foot shorter than my brother. Their daughter , Vivian, was her exact replica with black hair and light brown eyes. Lastly their four month old son, Rexx, was the perfect mix of the two. He was wearing a black long sleeve and gray pants with black Nike shoes and matching beanie. Bonnie and Vivian were both wearing black with a gray cardigan with Vivian having a big red bow on her head.

Behind were Brett and Braxton who were having a heated conversation and we raised a brow at them but didn't comment. Braxton rolled his eyes before walking over and taking his seat beside me something he rarely done since he and Brett got together a year ago.

"What was that all about?" I whispered but he only shook his head and I nodded in understanding. Behind them was Chris and Montana who were joking around while Chris kept kissing her cheek. At least they're not eating faces like all day today during break and whenever they saw each other.

"Grandpa guess what?" Tyson asked as Benji helped him onto his seat

"What is it champ?" Dad asked as mom dished out the food

"Daddy says I can get a puppy" my nephew said with a bright smile and wide eyes making mom gasp

"Is that so?" She asked and he nodded with a beaming smile that had us smiling at him.

"That's great love" she commented and he grinned

~*~*~*~*~

"Are you going to tell me now why you and Brett wire arguing?" I questioned my friend as he laid on my bed. He had refused to sleep with his mate and I was confused. I've never seen them argue to the point of either one not wanting to sleep with the other.

"He got mad at me because I was talking to Riley, Dimitri's friend" he mumbled and I raised my brows walking over and getting in beside him

"Why would he get mad at you for that?" I asked confused since Riley and Braxton were cousins from his mom's side. He shrugged

"He thinks that Riley was flirting with me even though I told him countless times that Riley and I were cousins. He punched him can you believe that? Your thick headed brother punched my cousin because he thought that he kissed me on the lips when it was a kiss to the cheek. Riley and I really close, practically brothers" he replied and I was shocked that Brett would actually do that to Riley.

"He's a moron" I concluded and Braxton chuckled with a nod

"But he's my moron either way and I love him" he murmured

"Then why are you still here and not with him trying to make him see what he did was wrong?" I asked and he sat up before placing a sloppy smooch on my cheek and bolting out of my room with a shout 'you're a genius' over his shoulder. I shook my head and decided to take a shower so I can sleep better.

Looking in the mirror, I looked myself over and shrugged. I wasn't ugly nor was I hot.I was...average. My blonde hair was staring to grow which means I need to get a hair cut soon. My light green eyes were what I took after my dad. I was lean, with little muscle and no blemishes. I was short for my age at 5'3. All my friends toward over me and that's what I got from my mom since she's short at 5'5.

Shaking my head, I turned the shower on and let it heat up while I undressed and used the bathroom before jumping into the steaming shower and getting under the water letting it wash away all the grim and sweat form the day.

I have a feeling that this year is going to be surprising.
