Makenna:

"Are you okay, sweetie?", my mom asked as she stepped into my room the next morning. After crying my eyes out last night, I ended up falling asleep without me realizing. But I woke up at seven, but I haven't gotten dressed for work and my mom was all ready to leave. I was lying on my bed on my stomach on my bed and my cheek was lying on a pillow as I stared my tv that was playing a movie.

"I'm fine.", I mumbled. "Just don't feel well.". She reached her hand out to touch my forehead, but I leaned away, "I mean, I'm not sick, but I feel horrible.", I sighed. Why does Shawn make me feel like this? Why does he make me feel so obsessed over him? Is this is even normal to think of one boy at every second of the day? Probably not.

My mom crossed her legs and forwards her eyebrows, "What do you mean, Makenna?",

I only ever have converstations with my mother when I can and I don't really have anyone else to talk to. "Boy troubles.", I sighed again.

"Boy trouble?", my mom asked. "You like a boy?". I nodded my head, "Oh, well, what kind of trouble, Makenna. Maybe I can help.",

"He's the new kid in town, Travis Gates brother.", I told her.

"Oh, I herd about him. Blonde hair and blue eyes?", she asked.

I nodded my head, "Yup, with an amazing smile to kill for.",

My mom let on a small smile, "You like him...a lot, don't you.",

"You have no idea.", I said. "He started working at the dinner last night and well, he kissed me. I swear, my mind was spinning.", I said, smiling at the memories of how Shawn lips felt against mine.

My mom mouth dropped, but she looked excited, "He kissed you? Well, does he like you back? What is the problem, Makenna?",

I sighed dramatic this time and leaned up on my bed, my back pressed against the hard board of my bed, "That's the thing, I don't know. He's so...confusing sometimes. I know pretty much he doesn't want to be with me since he left me outside the dinner after kissing me and his voice sounded like he didn't care about anything else but work. Ugh, I want to be with him so bad, but look at me!", I said, waving my right hand all around me. "I'm no Miranda Stargaze.",

"Oh, sweetie, your beautiful. He's missing out on a great girl.", she said. She got up from the bed, "How about this, I'll get off work early and we'll go shopping. Let's make this Shawn boy pay for leaving a wonderful girl outside alone.", she smirked.

"Oh, mom, you don't have to do that. I mean, you should save that money for future bills and-",

She put a hand on her hip, "No, Makenna, we're going shopping today for a few outfits. I have moneys saved up in the bank, don't ask me about it. We're gonna go to Dots, Debs, and Rue 21. I have enough money saved up to take my daughter shopping. Even, they say retail therapy important when your depressed. We're going to show Shawn what he's missing.", she chuckled.

"And what if that doesn't work? What if he still doesn't want me?", I challenged, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Trust me, this will work. I kind of did the same thing in high school when I liked this one boy. Boys are no different than when I was in high school. We're going to get your hair done, get you some new cloths, and some natural looking makeup since I don't want your pretty face caked up.", she said, running one of her hands threw my hair.

"But mom, that isn't nessac-",

"No," she said, cutting me off. "We're doing this and your going to like it weather or not. I'll be home at five and you better be dress, understand?",

No wanting to fight against my mom--since she'll win--I nodded my head, "Yeah, I understand.",

Well, I hope she's right when she say's it'll work....

Shawn:

Two days later...

When I walked into school, my thoughts were busy on different things than school as I walked to the sophomore hallways.

I wanted to talk to Makenna so badly and apologize for Friday night. That was an asshole thing of me to do. I realize I was wrong after seeing her mom and Makenna didn't show up for work for the passed two days. The passed two days at work, her mom didn't speak or say nothing to me. I said 'hi' to her and all she said was 'hey' back and left. I wanted to ask I could come over to talk to Makenna, but she kept on ignoring me. I could have easliy tranced Makenna scent, but I didn't want to tell her how I found her, she might think i'm some kind of stalker.

I ran my hand threw my hair and let out a sighed of frustration. I know this is going to be hard.

"Shawn-y!", I herd a squeal and I turned my head to the side to see Miranda jog over, trying hard not to fall down on her three inched heels. She hugged me and I almost fell over from shock, "How was your weekend?", she asked, putting an arm around my waist and leaned down on me as we continued to walk.

"Um, long. I got a job.", I told her.

She snorted, "Jobs are lames. Why'd you have to get a job?", she asked, looking up at me.

"I live with my brother so I have to help pay rent.", I reminded her about living with me brother.

She smirked, "Oh, that's right! You live parents-free. Do you think," she said, bumping her hip against mine, "I could come over. I'm having that smart kid Timmy do my math and history homework for tonight so I wont be busy.", she giggled and looked up at me.

"Sorry, Miranda, I have to work and-", I was cut off when we walked into the sophomore hallway and I saw people coward around Mekanna locker. That worried me. They better not be messing around with her about what happen Friday! I swear, I don't think I'll be able to hold my wolf side back...

"I love your hair, Makenna! It's so shiny!", said a girl.

Okay, now I'm confused.

As we grew closer to the coward, I pushed some people away to get threw to see what they're talking about. What the hell did the girl mean by 'shiny'?

When I came face to face to stand in front of Makenna, I swear, I jumped backwards in shock. My little mate wasn't wearing her usual casual cloths. No, she was wearing a grey crop top that had little fake diamonds spread all over it with a black stretchy tank top underneath that hung to her curves and with a necklace with hops hanging off each other. She wore black skinny jeans that looked tight on her nice legs and she wore slouchy three-inch heels two buckle boots that stop mid-way of her calves.

Her hair, it didn't look it's usual plain dark color. It was now raven black, but I swear I could see a tint of red in it. Her hair was cut in many layers and I could tell she used a straightener to make some swept of her layer and had a side swept bang now. Her lips were a glossy pink, but not like Miranda where hers looked sticky and gross. Her skin looked absolutely flawless and soft. She had a tan and black smoky eye look around her pale green eyes. She also hard large silver hoop ear ringers in and a few bracelets on both of her arms.

I felt myself get excited down there.

What the hell happened to her over the weekend? Not that I'm complaining, I mean, she looked absolutely gorgeous! I'm just wondering--what happening to her!!

I couldn't stop myself from checking her out a few more times to see if it actually was her! And it was.

She looked a little nervous at first, but when she saw Miranda cling to me, her lips tighten up and she turned to her left and smiled a guy I think name Reid who's on the football team, "Sure, you can walk me to class.", she said, quickly glancing at my pissed off expression I had on my face now. What the hell is she planning? Why is she letting some human boy walk her to class!? It should be me that is!

Reid held out his hand towards her and she happily took it and walked away, her butt swinging side to side in her tightly black skinny jeans, making me feel so much hornier now. I couldn't help but continue to watch. The crowad slowly went away and some fallowed and the girl started talking to her.

I herd Miranda clear her throat and my head snapped down to her, "What?", I snapped, annoyed that she made me look away from my mate that has a sexy new look.

She huffed and got up from me, "What the fuck, Shawn? The second you see her, you go drooling over her and forget me?", she asked, putting herd manicure hands on her hips.

Okay, I finally realized how annoying Miranda is. I pursed my lips at her and bent my head down a little to whisper so the humans around would hear me, "She's my mate.",

Her face dropped down in shock and her eyes widen, "W-what?". A second later, her face scrunched up with annoyance as she crossed her arms over her chest, "You must not care that much for her if you and me fooled around your very first day here.",

"Well, Miranda, that was a mistake.", I said and turned around.

She huffed again and said as I walked away, "Nothing ever a mistake when your with me!",

I rolled my eyes and made my way to my first class, but I doubt I'll be paying attention. I know my wolf and human part wont ever mind thinking about my sexy little mate.

~

When I walked into Mr. Dalton English class with my book in front of my jeans, only to see some people around Makenna and they were complementing her on her new look and she had a huge smile on her face as she said thank you.

What set my blood boiling was to see Reid next to her and had her leaning on him a little with his arm around her. I bit down on my lower lip and I was breathing like a angry Spanish bull. That little human is touching her! Oh, I could easily throw my book at him and mess up that little pretty face of his. No male should be touching her but me like how he is!

I was about to walk forward and show Reid who's boss and show Makenna who she belong to. Hell, I'll even mark her right here in class for all I care.

But I felt myself being grabbed from behind me from my shirt and I turned my head to see Hayden shaking his head, "Not a good idea, man.", he said.

I turned my head back around and saw Makenna watching me. She rolled her eyes and turned her head to Reid and giggled at something he said and laid a hand on his chest. Oh, now she's tempting me!

I know her little plan now. She want thinks her new look going to make me crack...sadly, it's working.

I feel like I'm going to explode.

I bared my teeth and growled. I threw my arm backward to make Hayden let me and I went up to Makenna--pushing some people aside and grabbed her by the arm. She squealed in surprised and jumped up from her seat when I made her stand up.

"What are you--epp!", she squealed again when I turned around and dragged her out of the classroom, thankng God Mr. Dalton wasn't there, but actually, I would have still done it even if he was. "Shawn, let me go! Where are you taking us?", she asked as she tried to tug her arm free from my grip. "We can't just leave class! We could get in trouble and if Principle Perry find outs about this, we'll be in bigger trouble!",

As we stepped out of school building, I turned to her, "Are you just trying to get Reid killed?", I coldly asked her, not really wanting to. My anger was mostly on wanting to punch Reid so hard in the face, he'll lose his vision.

She looked up at me shocked, "W-what?",

I rolled my eyes and continued dragged her until we made it to the football field. I dragged us behind the bleachers and finally let go of her arm, but I took a few steps forward, "Okay, explain!", I ordered and turned around.

She looked mad. Her full round lips were pressing together tightly as she crossed her arms over her chest, "What are you talking about, Shawn?",

"This!", I said, waving my arms up and down at her new look. "Are you trying to make me hold my books in front of my dick all day!", I asked.

She smirked, something I wasn't planning on her doing, "Oh, you mean this?", she faked innocently asked, twirling around. She put a hand on her hip and turned serious, "What's wrong with it? Huh? See something you think I should changed...again?", she asked and snorted and rolled her eyes.

I raised an eyebrow, "Change? What the fuck are you talking about, Makenna?",

She crossed her arms over her chest, "Oh, don't play the part of a dumb blonde, Shawn. I know you just wanted to play with the little weird girl mind. Well, now you seeing what you can never have!", she spat and turned around to walk away, but she only got a few steps before I ran up and grabbed her arm.

I spun her around, "I never played with your mind, Makenna.",

"Oh, so you kissing me Friday night was not saying you played with my mind? You left me outside alone just standing there, Shawn! You know how I felt? I felt like I was just an object to put your lips on. Like I was some shank--like Miranda! Well, guess what! I'm not!", she said, trying to break free, but I wouldn't let her. "Let go, Shawn.",

"No. I was going to apologize to you this morning about that, believe me, I was! But after seeing you like this...I wasn't thinking straight. You look-"

"What about Miranda, huh?", she asked, cocking her head to the side. "She had herself hanging all over you. I don't want hear how you two must've hook up over the weekend. No thanks Shawn.", she said, breaking my grip and turned around.

Okay, now I was getting frustrated again. She wont even let me explain myself! And she thinks I hooked up with Miranda over the weekend? Who in Hell would tell her that...

Ugh! I'm so going to get Miranda later for that!

I pressed my lips tightly in a straight line and I grabbed her by her upper arm and pushed her body backward until she hit the rail, "Now you listen to me, Makenna," I said, looking down at my little mate who looked shocked. "I was going to apologize to you this morning. Miranda was just being her and cling to some guy and sadly, it had to be me. I didn't hook up with her over the weekend. To tell you the truth, I spent the weekend trying to talk to your mother about letting me come over to apologize since I felt like an ass to you. I was wrong with what I did. You right, I shouldn't have left you standing there after kissing you.",

"Then why did you?", she whispered, a little to shock to actually speak I guess.

"I'm-", I can't believe I'm going to say this. "I'm scared. There something you don't know about me and something else is making this so damn difficult.",

"So, you didn't just leave because you realized you didn't like me?", she asked.

"Makenna, I do like you, a lot.", I said. "It's just...complicated.",

"How?", she asked.

"I can't tell you right now. I will though, later...maybe.", I said, taking a step back, hoping she leave this time now that I have apologized. I'm scared if she sticks around, I'll be tempting to just grabbed her and mark and be like 'what the Hell!' and just be with her.

"So," she said, shifting on one foot. "You didn't think I was...ugly before?",

I gave her a humorless chuckle, "Baby, I thought you were stunning. But you just look plain out sexy right now.",

She put on a small smile, "My mom--she thought I could show you what your missing if I got some new stuff.", she said, looking away, embarrassed.

"Well, tell her you sure got my attention...though you already had it", I said, putting my hands in my pockets.

She looked back at me, "You don't think I look," she said, quickly glancing at her boots and crop top, "ridiculous? This isn't really my style, but I kind of like it.",

"Well, it seems like your miss popular of tenth grade now.", I chuckled. "And no, I don't think you look ridiculous.",

Her cheek flamed up, "I'm not really that popular. It's kind of annoying, actually. Being popular and having so many people talk to you. I mean, it was nice to be noticed, but I never really had the attention on me before.",

I took a strain of her raven dark black hair--the red showing a little more bright now that we're outside and the sun was shinning down on her hair--and twirled it around my finger as I took a small step forward, "I thought you were always beautiful before, but now, you look like a woman. I think I might miss the baby-like face.", I said, giving her a soft chuckle.

"Well, I feel more mature, actually. I never thought a pair of boots and a nice shirt could make me feel...beautiful.", she said, making eye contact with me.

I frowned down at her, "You were always beautiful, Makenna. You may have not of seen it, but I have.",

She frowned up at me, "Please don't speak like that, Shawn. It only raises my hopes of us ever being together.", she said, taking a step aside. "It's okay, Shawn, I know you don't want to be with me.", she shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know why and I have a feeling you wont tell me, but I wont pressure it out of you. I just have a little high school crush on you, it'll pass.", she said, turning around to walk away.

"What if I tell you it wasn't crush, but something deeper then that, even more than love.", I said and I watched her freeze and slowly turned around, a confused look on her face.

"What do you mean? It's just a crush.", she shrugged.

I shook my head, "No, it isn't. I can't explain it, like I said. But it's more.",

"What could be more than love, Shawn?", she asked. "Look, I have feelings for you, but it's nothing more than hopes of wanting us to be together, but if you didn't want to be seen with me before, I don't think I want to be with someone who only likes me now cause I'm fit in now.",

I bit down on my lower lip. I get where she's going. But I didn't want to be with her before cause of how she looked, she was way off. I wanted to single so I could be free, but actually talking to about us, it felt more right to be with her now.

I saw her shiver from the air and I pulled her into a hug and wrapped my arms around her shoulders. She stayed like that and laid her small cheek on my chest, "Your so hot...body tempter, I mean.", she said.

"I know, it's-"

"Complicated.", we both said and sighed together.

"Will you ever tell me?", she asked.

"Probably, but not now.", I said. I laid my nose on the top of her head, smelling her scent clearly now. She smelt like green apples, like always. I love that smell so much.

"Shawn...",

"Hmm?", I moaned.

"Where does this lead us?", she asked. "Are we friends or something else?",

I leaned away a little, "Well, it depends on you now. What do you want?",

She bit down her on her lower lip, "That's where I'm confused. I want to mad at you still for Friday, but all I really want to do is kiss you and be closed to you. I know, I sound obsessed.", she said, her cheeks pinked up.

I gave her a soft chuckle and brushed her bangs away as they flew with the wind and got in her face, "It isn't obsession, Makenna.",

"I'm going to admit it, Shawn, but I do and don't want to be in a relationship with you. I'm so scared of getting hurt.", she said as she stepped out of my arm and I felt coldness for once after two years. I have never felt so cold and lonely until right now. "My uncle right. I push people out, only because I don't want to get hurt, so I pushed them away before something goes wrong. And this," she said, pointing at me and her, "is wrong.",

"What are you saying, Makenna.", I asked, a little confused at what she's trying to get at.

Before I knew it, she wrapped her arms around my neck and leaned a little--since she was wearing high heel boots, she didn't need to lean up much higher anymore--and kissed me. As she pulled away, she took one of my hands and grinned up at me, "I saying, I'm fine with us just being friends...but I like the idea of friends with benefits.",

I grinned down at her, "Benefits, huh?",

Her grin dropped and she pursed her lips up at me, "No sex, though.",

I chuckled, "Fine with me," I said, throwing my arm around her shoulders as she step back, "for right now.",

She rolled her eyes, "Your such a dog, sometimes.",

"Oh, Makenna," I chuckled as we made forward to the school building. "You have no idea.", 

--------------- 

So, after this chapter, is where werewolf business starts to happen and Makenna starts to wondering about Shawn.
