She hates math!
After having her lunch she checked the time and she only had two minutes before the hell class would start. Picking up her bag and throwing the empty packets in a bin she walked to the restroom, washed her hands, adjusted her clothes, and went to her class.
The reason why she delayed going to the class was that Veronica and Jack were in this class as well.
She went inside and within a second, Jack hooted and before Veronica could utter a word, the head of the school walked in and everyone took their seats immediately.
In a hurry, Emma sat on the empty seat in the front rather than her usual seat at the back.
"Good afternoon class. I'm here to inform you about the sudden absence of Ms. Rebecca. Last night she was met with an accident." Gasps were heard all around and a wave of guilt washed over Emma who wished to not see Ms. Rebecca today.
"Her ribs got fractured and her left leg was broken. She's out of danger and currently in the hospital. It would take her a couple of months to a year or more to return to her duty." Slight nods of understanding were seen.
"So, we have a substitute teacher who will take Ms. Rebecca's place. Let me introduce you to your new math teacher. Mr. Xander Colt." As soon as the head said these words.
A man walked inside the classroom with slow powerful steps.
It was as if all the breath was knocked out of her system.
The man in front of her could be any freaking thing but a teacher. He was probably 6'2 with massive shoulders, the outline of his taut muscles could be seen through his shirt. The bulging muscles of his biceps were one thing but the black ink on his neck and hands was another thing. Her eyes found their way to his Adam Apple and then his sharp jaw with a trimmed black beard giving him a rugged look. Pursed lips in a thin line, straight nose with a slight crook at the nose bone as if it was broken once, and then her breath hitched when her eyes met with his sharp green ones. He was staring straight at her. Closing her mouth shut, she immediately looked down at her notes.
This was the same man from Range Rover.
And he's not old like other male teachers. He was very young, not in the lad's category more like in the men's category.
"I'll leave the class to you, Mr. Colt." She heard the voice of their head before his footsteps faded away.
"First and foremost important thing. I don't like disturbance." His deep rich voice resonated in the class.
Emma dares to look around only to find everyone gawking at the man the same as she did before.
"Open your books." He said loud enough for everyone to do as he said.
Mr. Colt strode towards the whiteboard and started solving a problem on it. The way his marker nip was hitting the board indicates how pissed off he was or perhaps he was this way only.
"Eyes on the board!" His voice was a little high which got everyone to flinch in their seats as they immediately looked at the board rather than him.
Emma was tense as a wooden board during the whole class and so was the situation with everyone else.
The fact that she was sitting in the front wasn't helping at all. Once in a while, Mr. Colt's gaze would fall on her and she would get extremely nervous. Never in her life has she missed her back seat more than today. The lesson to never sit in the first row was clear for her.
As soon as the class ends. Emma was fast to leave the classroom.
She went straight to her next class but her mind was still in her math class where she understood nothing but the man that was her teacher raked her mind throughout the next whole period.
As soon as the last bell rang. Emma sprinted out at a fast pace. When everyone goes back to their homes and rest, she has to earn her bread.
She was glad that Landon and his friends didn't appear in front of her after the morning incident.
Her eyes slowly darted towards the parking lot where that Range Rover stood out like a dominating Anaconda amongst small mice.
"I will buy you one day." She promised with a soft smile on her face as she walked to the bus stop.
Within twenty minutes she entered the small cafe where she works. Jogging to the restroom she immediately wore her uniform, placing her bag in the cabinet. She came out of the restroom to find Connor standing with a grin on his face. "Guess what?" He was excited, it was written all over his face.
"What?" She asked. "I've got selected for my school's soccer team." Connor grinned.
A wide smile appeared on her face and she forwarded her hand for a handshake and congratulated him.
Connor shook her hand. "Your birthday is in a week so I'll give you a treat on your birthday," Connor suggested, making a beautiful smile appear on her face.
Connor is the only person she genuinely trusts. Her only friend or family. She respects him a lot. And he cares for her a lot.
"I'll be delighted." She gave him her best pearly smile only to earn a flick smack of his finger on her forehead making her groan out in pain.
The audacity of Connor to laugh at her as he walked away to see the customers.
Emma ambled into the kitchen while rubbing her forehead where her colleague, Stacy stood.
"You're late Emma," Stacy said in a low voice so the owner couldn't hear her. "I missed my first bus," Emma said in a low apologetic voice, making Stacy nod.
Stacy was kinda the only friend Emma had except Connor. It's not friendship because Stacy joined this job just a week ago but up till now, both girls are good and kind to each other.
Emma is the kind of person who never trusts someone easily. She never warms up to anyone just after a few meets. Connor is the only person in this world whom she trusts. The invisible walls around her are high and strong. She didn't socialize, so almost all the time she kept to herself which led her to talk to herself. Work was hectic today as it was Monday evening. Customers kept rolling in and the time flew in a blink. It was late at night when her shift ended. Stacy has already left. Connor locked the gate as they both strolled to their path. Connor has been working here since before her. He was the one who got her job here. He has been her friend since she was 14. She always considered him as an elder brother who looked after his sister. He's 20 years old. Many times he offered her to sell her apartment and buy one near his house as her area wasn't safe but she never wanted to sell the only thing that was left of her family, so she declined his offer. But he was so worried for
"You did an excellent job, Emma." Her Science teacher, Ms. Alicia said with a smile on her face as she went through Emma's assignment. "Thank you," She said happily, making her nod as she placed her assignment aside. "You can leave now, dear." Ms. Alicia said, making Emma nod as she left her office. She barely took a few steps when she stopped dead in her tracks hearing a low growl from the room right beside her. "I'm hating this f**king shit!" Someone growled, making her jump in her place as she gaped at the door. Her eyes read the nameplate and she gulped reading Mr. Colt written in bold italic letters. "I'll rip your throat apart; the first thing I see you!" He growled dangerously and Emma stood frozen at her place.
"Ms. Richardson, come here and sit in the front." Pin drop silence, all sets of eyes were dead set on her, and once again she was the center of attention. Quietly standing up with slumped shoulders she gathered her stuff and walked to the front row. Calmly sat down on one of the empty seats. She didn't dare look up cause she was hundred percent sure Mr. Colt was watching her. "Close all your books and notes." He said curtly. "I'm giving you a surprise test." He announced and everyone's jaw dropped in shock. He handed a bunch of papers to a first student and motioned him to pass them in all rows. He just taught four classes and t
'What's up teddy bear? ๐' Her phone dinged with a message. She has an old android phone. It was her grandpa's and now she uses it. She checked the message and it was from Connor. No one had her number except Connor and her boss from the cafe so she didn't have to see who the text was from. 'Fan is up, you Fanta bottle.๐' She typed while smiling. After a one-minute pause, her phone dinged with a notification. 'Be ready on Sunday.๐๐' Emma raised her brow at that winking emoji. 'For what?๐คจ' She typed back. 'It's your birthday dumbo and the food is on me.' A wide smile stretched on her lips. He remembers her birthday more than she did. 'Of course, the food is on you. Gosh, I'll eat the whole restaurant.๐๐คฉ๐ฅณ' She typed while smiling. 'I'll pick you up at 8.โค๏ธ' He messaged and she smiled happily. Today was Friday, the last day of the hectic week. The only thing she was happy about this week was the absence of Mr. Colt. After his command to her about that tutoring thing.
Forest green to ocean blue! For the slightest second, everything stopped. Only the ticking of the clock could be heard. Both drowned in each other's eyes. Emma was the first to come back to her senses as she lowered her gaze. "C-clear." She answered softly while the man peered at her with an intense gaze. He looked as though he was in a trance. Her heart stopped beating for a second when he raised his hand towards her face. She watched his hand with her wide blue eyes. What was he doing? His fingers caressed her cheek, and a chill ran down her spine as she jerked back from his forbidden touch and it was enough for her to get off the chair abruptly. Her legs were jello and her heart was stuttering badly.
Fucking pathetic shit! This was the best his beta could do. To make him a fucking math teacher at this stupid high school. He was already pissed off at all the things going on among the packs and now he has to teach these bratty kids math! Xander rubbed his stubble-clad jaw when his phone started ringing. "What's up, Xander?" Came Ethan's voice making him grit his teeth in anger. "I'm gonna show you what's up in hell when I come back!" Xander growled lowly making Ethan chuckle lightly. "Sorry bro but this is all I could do. No one would ever suspect that an Alpha of Moon pack is teaching math at some high school." Ethan mused, making Xander angrier. "Come on! It's not that b
The whole day was boring but she didn't ponder on it much. She was accustomed to living alone so those surprise birthday parties and posh gifts were never her yearnings, all she ever wanted was love but got loneliness instead. Having nothing to do she decided to pamper herself a little. Switching on her phone she opened YouTube and searched for videos on how to make face scrubs and stuff with kitchen products. And then she busied herself with her manicure, pedicure, and other stuff. After showering, she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her skin was white, her bosoms were big but her tummy wasn't taut nor chubby it was normal, her waist wasn't tiny but it was small, then she had hourglass-shaped hips and thick thighs. But the vicious scar on her ribs was a great reminder of her ugliness. Overall she looked
"MATE!" She abruptly looked behind and her eyes widened when they met with the enraged forest green ones. Emma froze in her place as Connor too stood up staring at the man who was breathing heavily as if enraged. Blade growled inside his head to rip his mate away from that man but Xander tried to control himself. He cannot let anyone know what he was or else the words would be out and his whole plan would be a complete disaster. But she was his fucking mate! The same little girl who always seemed to run away from him was his mate. He never thought that he would ever have a mate. That too a human mate. He was sure for a
