keys. She opened the door and we all stepped in. There was a living room area, with two black couches and a black chair. The walls were a Cornell red color on the bottom half and then a cream white on the top half. On the wall in front of the couches, there was a black shelf that had a bunch of DVD’s and Video games on it. Then there was a flat screen mounted on the wall and a little black stand with a DVD player and an Xbox 360 on it. On the left there was a little hall that lead to a bedroom. The bedroom walls were the same as the living room. All of the furniture was black and there was a little closet and then another door that lead into a bathroom. There was a desk on the far wall and a full sized bed opposite of the desk. The curtain in the room were black and the bedding was the same colors as the walls. There was a dresser at the foot of the bed against the wall. On the other side of the living room there was a little wall before you go into another entry way. On that small wall was a door that lead to a bathroom. On the left of the entry way there was a little hall that lead to another bedroom, which looked exactly the same as the other room. In the entry way, there was a kitchen with bar stools at a counter. All the appliances were black and the walls were the same color as the rest of them. The counters were a marble black color. At least there was a dish washer, I thought to myself. After looking around the dorm room that Taaron and I happened to be sharing, thank the lord for that. I don’t know what I would have done if I got stuck with a preppy bitch. We went back to the parking lot and grabbed our things, bringing them to our rooms. We each had to make two trips, since my parents helped us. After all of our things were in our rooms, my dad gave us each a credit card.
“I will have four thousand dollars on it each month, so spend it wisely.” My dad said.
“Yeah, like that would be hard. I doubt we will even spend the whole four thousand dad”. I said.
“Anyways, get good grades and once I know you guys are doing what you’re supposed to I will allow you to have a home pass. Don’t cause any problems”.
“We won’t” Taaron and I both said.
We said goodbye to our parents and then we went into our own rooms, I decided to choose the one by the living room. It didn’t take me long to unpack my things in my room. I hung up most of my clothes and then put my undergarments and pajamas in my dresser. I was getting hungry, so after I finished unpacking my room, I went into the kitchen to see what we had in there. I noticed that the entire kitchen was filled full of food and drinks. I decided to make me a turkey sandwich. I took my sandwich into the living room and sat down turning the TV on.
-Taaron-
Ever since, Nathaniel told us about mates, I couldn’t but help think if Lyla and I were mates. I have always been attracted to her since I first set my eyes on her. When we kissed, we couldn’t get enough of each other. I wonder if she knows that she is my mate. She has to be, there is no other explanation for the way I feel and the way I am with her. I was so happy when I found out that I was sharing a dorm room with her. Maybe we might not be happy having to be in a boarding school, but I think it will give us a chance to get closer together. I was done unpacking my things, so I decided to go to the living room. Lyla was in there, I sat next to her on the couch. I tried to watch the TV that she had on, but I couldn’t help but look at her.
“What are you looking at”? She said.
“You”.
“Why”? She gave me a glare. I could tell she was still upset about being here.
“Because, I think you’re my mate. I know you are and you now I am yours to”.
“You’re crazy”.
“Think about it, every time we touch each other we have that pleasant feeling, when we kissed we couldn’t get enough of each other and I have never felt this way about anyone”.
“Fine you’re right. I knew you were my mate since my dad told us about mating. I just don’t know if I can handle it right now. I don’t want to be at this stupid school and I am trying to come up with a way to get out”.
“I understand that, but think about it; at least it gives us time to spend time together without people breathing down our backs”.
“What about what my dad said, when he caught us in my bedroom”?
“What about it. He can’t stop us from being together Lyla, we are mated together and there’s nothing he can do about it. Please just stop thinking about what he wants; he wasn’t there half your life so far”.
“Yeah I know that, I just need to think about everything okay. When I am ready to be with you, I will be. Please just give me some time”.
“Okay, let me know when you’re going to stop listening to what your dad wants and instead listen to what your heart wants and what you want Lyla”. I got up and went to my room, I was getting irritated. Once again she doesn’t want to be with me because of her stupid father. I cannot stand not being with her.
-Lyla-
I couldn’t but help to think about what Taaron was saying. I know I am starting to make him upset with me, but I need time. I don’t know why my dad doesn’t want us to be together and I don’t understand fully what is going on in my life either. It seems like just yesterday I was in Florida and everything was normal, now I am a werewolf and have a mate. What kind of crap is this? I went to my room and decided to look at my class schedule. I noticed that I had a theater class and a dance class. I wasn’t really into that stuff, but I don’t get a choice in what I do at this school. I am just going to have to suck it up and deal with it. I had my original general education class, the same ones I had at my other school. I must have fallen asleep. When I woke up, there was someone else in my bed and their arm was around my waist. I turned my head to find Taaron in my bed. What the hell was he doing in here? I rolled over so I was facing him and punched him in the shoulder.
“What the fuck”! He yelled.
“What are you doing in my bed? I didn’t say you could be in here”.
“Fine whatever, you didn’t have to punch me”. He climbed out of my bed and stormed out of the room, obviously pissed off.


Chapter Twelve: Apologies

Right after Taaron left my room, I started feeling sick. I ran to the bathroom and puked all my guts out. After getting sick, I went into the kitchen and grabbed some water. Going to sit down on the couch to watch a movie, I felt sick again, so I ran to the bathroom. I couldn’t figure out why I was feeling bad, I have never gotten sick in my entire life. I found out that werewolves don’t get illnesses like humans, so why am I sick. After not getting sick for thirty minutes, I decided to call my dad to see what my problem was.
“Hello”. Dad said answering the phone.
“Hey dad, it’s me”.
“Oh hey, how do you like the new school so far”?
“It’s alright, don’t really know haven’t started classes yet. But I called you because I am puking my guts off all morning and werewolves don’t get sick. Is something wrong with me”? I asked in a concern voice.
“Um, the only time a werewolf gets sick is if their mate is mad at them”.
“Huh, okay”.
“Wait did you find your mate”?
“You’re not going to like who it is, so I am not going to say anything else”.
“Who is it? You have to tell me Lyla, if you think I won’t like him”.
“Dad you should already know who it is”.
“No, you tell me right now, I have not a clue of who it could be”.
“Are you that naïve dad, there is only one person at this school that you know other than me for crying out loud”.
“Oh, it’s Taaron. Why wouldn’t I like him”?
“Uh, I don’t know, maybe the fact that you told me to not be with him, when you caught us in my room”! I said getting very agitated. I started feeling sick again.
“Dad hang on, I am going to get sick”. I ran to the bathroom and got sick once again. This was horrible, I guess this is what the flu feels like, I hope I don’t go through this again. I went back to the living room and picked my phone up.
“Alright, I’m back”. I said
“It’s not that I don’t like him, he is a good guy. I just didn’t like the idea of you dating someone, but I kind of got over that when you went out with Conner, realizing that you are almost eighteen and you are going to do what you want”.
“Oh, well anyways thanks for telling me what’s wrong with me”.
“No problem, why is Taaron mad at you anyways”?
“I rather not talk about it, he will get over it”.
“Alright, have fun at school. Talk to you later”.
I hung up the phone, hoping Taaron would just get over it. I am not going to apologize to him. It was his fault being in my bed without my permission. He is the one that needs to apologize.
-Taaron-
I was really mad that Lyla punched me, she could have just told me to get out or something. Whatever I guess. I have been hearing her get sick all day long. It was starting to worry me, because werewolves are not supposed to get sick, yet here she is getting sick. I decided to call Nathaniel. He informed me that if a werewolf’s mate is mad at the other, they will get sick until they are not mad at them anymore. So, that’s why she keeps running to the bathroom. That sucks for her; because until she comes and apologizes to me, there is no way I am not going to be mad at her. I went out to the kitchen to get something to eat for dinner.
“Will you just apologize already, so I can stop getting sick”? She asked me when I was walking back to my room. I got even more furious.
“Me apologize to you?
