-Ethan Rivers-

The mystery girl wasn't there yesterday. He hopes everything is okay. After Ethan goes to his locker he heads to gym class with Callum. Ethan still hasn't seen her yet. He's worried and he doesn't know why. Ethan hasn't had much communication with her. "Hey what's on your mind?" Callum asked.

"What? Oh nothing it's all good," Ethan just told him. Callum gives him a look like he doesn't believe Ethan. He's been like a brother since their moms’ was pregnant with them. "Well talk to me about it as we walk to Bio class," he told Ethan. He's in shock, Ethan didn't realize how much is on his mind. He gets up from the bleachers and follows Callum. Ethan tells him what’s going on and how random this has been, and he has no clue, but still wants to be supportive. So he said keep trying to talk to her, and that it’s happening for a reason.

When they walk into bio class he sees her, sitting in her spot in the front of the class. Ethan sits next to her, she looks at him and smiles. He smiles back at her and he asks "How are you?"

"Doing okay, I slept in this morning, I also had some personal stuff going on yesterday," she answered. Ethan accepted the answer. She doesn't trust him to have that conversation. "Allie, do you have the assignments from the other day?" The teacher asked.

"Yeah I do here you go," Allie answered, handing her the papers. Class starts soon after. He doesn't pay much attention, Ethan occasionally looks at Allie, his bio partner. There's something about her, he can't put her finger on it. She even looks at Ethan here and there. She's a lot nicer to him than she's been. He wondered what happened yesterday, something had to.

After class she starts to leave, before Ethan realizes he says "wait for me." She looks at him a little shocked. Ethan's too, he normally wouldn't have. "Yeah sure," she said. He walked out with her for lunch. "I want to hang out with you," Ethan said, sounding corny as hell. What's going on with him? She giggles and says "sure I can meet you at the pack house later after school. I have something I have to do, it shouldn't take long," she told him. He couldn't believe his ears.This is the same girl who slapped Ethan not that long ago. He smiles at her and she smiles at Ethan. He follows her to the cafeteria, and he follows her to her table.

Ethan sat across from where she's sitting, he surprised himself and her. "You're not sitting with your friends today," she says in a questioning tone.

"No, I want to sit with you," he said honestly.
"You don't have to Ethan, you can sit with your beta Callum it's okay," she told Ethan. She sounded understanding and sweet. Right after she says that Callum and a few of his friends come over to them. Callum sits next to him with his tray of food, Tori sits next to Allie. They smiled at each and started to talk to one another. Allie starts to eat her homemade sandwich. He got up real quick to go in line, pizza and a salad was on the menu.

Lunch went rather quickly, all of them laughing together. Some other tables give them weird looks. Ethan thinks Allie saw them staring, she looked a little sad about it. So he shows them his alpha eyes and they stop staring at them. Ethan smirks to himself knowing he scared them to stop making her uncomfortable.

She said she has World History next with Mr. Jones. Ethan had that class last. The class she has last is his next class Algebra with Mrs. Hardwick. He walks her to class and she is giving him these weird looks. Some are really happy, some are confused. She did get offended, when he didn't know who she was.

Ethan still doesn't, but he likes her company. Hanging out together just felt natural, like Ethan was missing this along. It feels like this should have been his whole school career.
He walks to her class and says goodbye. Ethan tells her he'll see her later. She is so cute, how she holds her books so close to her chest. Walks so shy like, with her head down. She doesn't know that she's beautiful and shouldn't hide.

The last few hours go so slow. He wants to get to know Allie, maybe even get some memories back. Ethan knows he's missing some. It feels like he's not whole, Ethan didn’t notice it until he started to talk to Allie. There’s just something about her, he's been thinking about her more and more.

After school Ethan heads home and cleans up a little bit. He made his room in pretty good shape. He sprayed some fabric softener so it won't smell when she's there. Ethan gave her number after school ended, he didn't want her number yet. He wanted her to make the choice to hang out.

Ethan goes to the bathroom to brush his teeth, and runs a brush through his hair. Ethan has to look human. Once he's pleased with how he looks, he gets a text from her that says "on my way."

Ethan texts back saying "Okay cool." Trying to sound cool, but on the inside he's excited to see her.

-Callum Brooks-

When she got there at the pack house word spread fast Ethan brought home another girl. Of course no one really knows how Ethan really feels about her. Callum is trying to understand the connection he's feeling for her.

At lunch today, Callum did feel different when he was around Allie. He felt like something was off, or like an itch he can't scratch.

During lunch Callum did take note of the goofy grin on Ethan's face when around Allie. So he felt okay around her, knowing Ethan trusts her. He also took note of the two girl's acting close.

***

During his next class after lunch, Callum was thinking about the itch he had after he met Allie. As he was trying to remember her, a migraine came. He excuses himself to the nurses office to get medicine.

-Brandon Rivers-

Ethan’s brother doesn't sit with him during lunch or talk to each other at school. Even though Brandon’s a sophomore, and Ethan is a senior, and have lunch at the same time. When she sat with him, the lunch room noticed the next alpha wasn’t at his usual table, and was sitting with a new girl too. Which, Ethan doesn’t sit with girls’ of the week during lunch, neither does Callum or Tori. So the whole school knew about this, before the lunch period ended. Brandon laughed when Ethan flashed his red eyes, at unwanted stares, scaring them.

When Brandon looked at this girl, he had gotten a familiar feeling, like he knew her somehow. Being the genius he is, it clicked for him, she’s the missing piece for Brandon. This blonde haired girl showed him his favorite book. “What’s her name?” Brandon asked out loud.

“That’s Allie Harlingtion sitting next to your brother,” John, Brandon’s friend answered.

“I feel like I know her,” Brandon admits.

“You should, she used to live with you,” John comments. Brandon whips his head, to face John. “That’s impossible, I can’t forget a whole family completely,” he states the obvious.

“Clearly not, if you don't remember Allie, her father was the 3rd commander of the pack,” John points out. That felt like a ton of bricks against his chest, and a migraine came suddenly. Brandon excuses himself and leaves for the nurse’s office.
