Ashton:

I walked away with a smile on my face. She was so sweet, and I'm so stoked that she's more comfortable with me.

When I went in to kiss her, her lips were so soft and electrifying. I felt upset about leaving her at her home. Her house seemed cozy, yet small.

I hope the bruises didn't come from her home life, but either way, I'll hurt anyone who harmed my chipmunk as I smelled blood mixed in with her cinnamon and lavender scent, which left me confused.

Chipmunk is Amorette's new name. I smiled to myself with my heart fluttering. Damn, the stories are true, when you meet your mate you immediately become whipped. I felt my wolf stir and I knew my eyes flashed to the amber brown.

While spacing out and thinking I heard an annoying voice yell, "Oh lover boyyyy, who are you smiling about?"

"None of your business Jack"

I looked up and saw I was already at my home, the main meeting house. I walked up to the freshly remodeled triplex, bought and completely owned by my parents.

"Is it tú amor?" Jack jumped into my face and wiggled his eyebrows.

I put my hand on his face and shoved him away, rolling my eyes and continuing to the front door.

"Don't be salty man" he teased.

I grunted, "Shut up".

What an immature Beta for fuck's sake. I would much prefer to have Pierce as Beta, but he's my reliable third in command.

Her face stuck in my mind even when the rest of the pack pulled up for the daily dinner, changing, and before I went to sleep.

Amorette:

I woke up happier than usual and threw open my curtains in glee.

I threw on my nice maroon cardigan, skinny jeans, and brown booties. I felt more confident today, and I was looking forward to seeing Ashton.

I threw on my bag and actually grabbed an apple for breakfast. Walking fast, I boarded the bus and surprisingly the gang of females wasn't there.

The day went by slowly as I waited for lunch. The bell snapped me out of my thoughts.

I headed to the lunchroom early to avoid prying eyes and sat down where I sat the last time I was here. The table quickly filled with people, and I fiddled with my hands while waiting for the people I actually knew.

Feeling his presence coming towards me, I spun around and saw him talking to Pierce and other people I don't know.

"Ash" I hollered, surprising myself with my sudden vocalness.

He turned and I saw the blazing green eyes that I was enchanted by meet my flat, brown ones.

"Hey Chipmunk" He greeted with a grin.

I placed down my bag and looked down, my confidence quickly fading away. They sat down in their usual seats, already striking up a conversation with the others.

I felt a large hand ruffle my hair.

"Hey, Amorette!" A cheery Jack greeted.

I looked at him and his eyes glazed over, and he did the same thing Pierce did. He bowed his head and lifted his head to show me his neck.

All the kids close by, that I didn't even know did the same thing. The table went silent and I heard Ashton let out a huff. In a split second, they turned away and continued as if nothing happened.

I felt a weight on my shoulder, feeling a breath on my cheek. Ash said, "Sorry about my friends, they can be a little bit weird sometimes"

He gave me a gentle kiss on the cheek and moved away. More than likely, I turned the same color as my sweater. 

Jack looked at me nervously and began teasing Ashton once again.

A lunch tray got placed in front of me, curtsey of Mr. Charmer.

"You gotta eat something" he prodded.

I grimaced and nodded my head. I picked up a fork and speared a piece of pasta. It tasted so good, but all I could think of is how much carbs and calories were in this serving.

I looked at him and smiled, more than likely unconvincingly.

His face went from concerned to playful.

I rose my eyebrow as he reached toward me. Ashton scooped me up with his right arm and pulled me onto his lap. He kept me pinned in place with his other arm and pulled the tray over to me.

He suppressed a smile and nommed on his taco. I wiggled a little, trying to get the hell off. I felt eyes from all angles on me. Little bits of lettuce hit my cheek and I came to the conclusion there was no use in struggling. I lifted my fork in defeat, to continue eating the best pasta I've had in a while.

Suddenly, I felt a sting on my cheek and heard a smack, then suddenly my torso was drenched.

Ashton tensed against me and all the playfulness he showed previously was gone. A low rumble came from his chest.

I looked and saw a guy with one of those teeth masks on begin to reload his slingshot. Ashton put me down on my chair, his face dripped water slightly and his chest was drenched. Bad timing but, I applaud him for putting on a white T-shirt today.

A girl introduced herself as Ellie and walked me out of the cafeteria. She was a lot taller than me and had a considerable amount of muscle.

Ellie Langston:

"I have an extra pair of clothes in my locker Lu-" she stopped herself.

"I mean, Amorette right?" She smiled and tilted her head back showing her neck like the others, "You can trust me I'm a friend of Ashton's".

I nodded, feeling safe with her. She led me to her locker and she gave me a choice between a navy blue cropped sweater or a cropped hoodie. Both were way beyond my comfort zone.

"They don't fit me at all, way too small, but maybe they'll fit on you. They're just a backup in case I get shoved in a pool or something"

I had a strong feeling that wasn't the only reason, but it wasn't my place to pry.

I heard a frightened yell come from the cafeteria and some kid yell "World Star!"

Oh no.

Seeing as there was no one around except for Ellie and me, I pulled off my nice sweater (still I was mad that it got drenched) and yanked on the navy blue sweater.

My thigh was still wet, and there was still hair plastered to my face. I felt the shirt ride up, exposing my stomach. I yanked it down and speed walked to the cafe.

Rumbles sounded through the air, and there was a crowd surrounding the pillars. I shoved my way through and found a tall, beaten boy I knew from a long time ago. A boy named Archie, who I used to be good friends with in middle school. His glasses were askew and his nose was bloody.

  Now tell me, what implored you to do that," Ashton boomed in a commanding voice

He stuttered out, "I-I I was p-paid to h-hit h-her. N-not my f-fault"

"Lies" he yelled. He raised his fist again but I grabbed his arm.

Taking a deep breath I said calmly, "Ashton put the poor guy down, I know who paid him, don't make any more of a scene.

"I don't believe him though" He growled animalistic, startling me.

"Put. Him. Down." I said sternly.

I heard that dog-like whimper again, and I couldn't believe it was coming from him.

Archie Leblanc:

I helped Archie up and simply said, "Arch, was it, Brittany?"

He nodded while clenching his nose.

I heard another growl from somewhere towards the doors, "Mine"

Although I haven't known her long, I knew it was Ellie.

She pushed through the crowd and grabbed Archie's arm.

Ashton nodded in understanding and let her take him to the unisex bathroom and Archie's eyes were wide in fear and confusion. I, on the other hand, was bamboozled.

He clenched his fists and yelled, "Where. Is. Brittany?"

A/N: I LOVE THEM THEY'RE SO CUTE. And if you couldn't tell, Ellie just found her mate, the sweet Archie.

So why do you think Brittany chose him for the prank, and was it willing or was there a threat against Archie? Let me know —>
