Notice Me
experiencing the same fireworks. This kiss is so
much better for the both of us, because it means she accepts my
wolf and me as her lifelong mate. There's no greater feeling than
this.

Chapter 12: New Guy "Whoa, whoa, whoa." Anya's disbelieving voice said through the
receiver of my cell phone. "Rewind and tell me again." She cried
excitedly. Really, again? I was explaining to her how Tristan and I
are officially together now. After telling Tristan I accepted being
his mate and a long make-out session ensued, Tristan asked me to be
his girlfriend.

My heart burst with happiness as soon as the words escaped his
mouth. I've never had a boyfriend before. Of course, I couldn't
explain the entire story to Anya. I had to leave out the whole
'mate' thing along with what I witnessed in the woods. In time,
she'll know from Luke. It's not my place to ruin his chance with
her. Hopefully, she won't freak out the same way I did.

She's an easy going girl, so I can totally see her thinking Luke
and the guys being wolves is the coolest thing since the invention
of the Iphone. Anya called me this morning while I was getting
dressed for school. The ear-piercing scream that I had to endure
was traumatizing.

She heard from Luke last night that Tristan and I are now a couple.
Well, that didn't sit very well with her. Boys, they gossip worse
than females do! "Why am I the last one to know that my best friend
has a boyfriend?" She all but shrieked into my ear before I
finished saying hello.

Hence, why I'm having this conversation with her right this Moment.
She couldn't wait until after school when she saw me in person to
bring any of this up. "I said sorry." I apologized for the tenth
time. "I wanted to tell you in person." I scrambled to come up with
an excuse so she'd stop screaming. "Listen Anya, I have to finish
getting ready for school. Can we talk about this later?"

"You better believe we'll talk about this later." She huffed an
annoyed breath into the line, "Be over around six."

"Ok darling, have a great day at school." I sang out. "Love ya
bish."

"Love ya too." She grunted before hanging up. I know she's a little
angry at the fact that I didn't call her up right away when I got
home last night, but I couldn't help it. Last night was like a
dream. I hardly recalled getting home, eating dinner, showering or
even going to bed.

Pulling on my blue strappy sandals, I took a final glance at myself
in the mirror. I decided to leave my hair down and curly today.
Hope I look all right, I thought staring at my outfit. I was
wearing a pair of gray shorts, a blue tank, and a three-quarter
sleeved black cardigan. I rushed out my front door, even though I
already knew what would be patiently waiting for me in the
driveway. Seeing his angelic face still manages to take my very
breath away.
    Once again, he was leaning against his truck looking mighty
delicious. Wearing a plain white T-shirt with baggy army green
cargo shorts and a pair of timberland boots with the laces undone.
OM to the friggin G, he gives that thug-look a whole new meaning.
He has the sporty look, the baggy look, and don't get me started on
when he cleans himself up, eek!

"Like what you see?" Tristan's voice disrupted me from my drool
session. If I don't stop, I'm going to make us extremely late. He
was smirking at me with a knowing look plastered to his face. My
cheeks felt warm, I'm sure they're tinged a scarlet red color as I
grew embarrassed. I chewed down on my bottom lip, making my way
towards the car.

"Ehh, I've seen better." I mumbled walking by him in a dismissive
manner. Before I made it a step past him, I was gripped up into a
bear hug from behind. The shock of being picked up off the ground
in one swoop caused me to yelp out, "Tristan!" in surprise.

His warm breath against my cheek made me shiver involuntarily.
"You've seen better?" He growled his face pressed right up against
my ear. "Who is it?" He asked through gritted teeth.

"No I haven't." I admitted shaking my
