Chapter 0145

We play the rest of our day the same. Slerra and I trying to hold awkward, mundane conversations

while the guys listened in, but pretended not to pay any attention to us. As I was putting my books

away at the end of this mind-numbingly long day while Sierra waited on me so we could head over

to check in with Delta Kyle, Kaley walks up and goes to slam my locker shut. This time I don't let

her. My reactions are fast and I'm done with her bullsh*t as much as the guys'.

I catch the edge Of the locker and push it back open, then glare at her. I won't do anything here at

school, my conditioning still won't let me retaliate against her here, but I'm not going to let her walk

all over me anymore either.

She lets out a little squeak before she composes herself again. "Whatever you did to piss off our

future Alphas, you need to fix now! Your stupid childish games are making life hard for the rest of

us. Apologize, grovel, kiss their feet or whatever they want and make this better. They have been

yelling and growling at people all day. You even have them raising their voices at me, which is

unacceptable.

"I don 't see how my relationship with any of them is any of your business. And I will not take

responsibility for whatever stupidity of yours that got you yelled at. I said without looking at her and

finished what I was doing, then closed my locker and turned to walkin the opposite direction,

Sierra close behind.

'How dare you turn your back on your future Luna and speak to her like that! She grabs my shoulder

to spin me around. But before I can do anything a shout from down the hallway stops everyone.

"TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" Oh goody, just another incident where Mateo thinks he needs to

step in for me.

"And stop talking in third person, it's weird." Sierra adds under her breath. Kaley either doesn't hear

or chooses to ignore it, but doesn 't take her hand off my shoulder and it takes all my patience to not

rip her fingers off me.

"I was just explaining that she needs to be more kind to her future Luna. Her childish behavior is

going to get her into more trouble, and I think there has been enough of that, don't you, Skylar? I

mean you have spent more time in the principal's office than in class. And she is constantly

distracting you all which is unacceptable as well.

The guys all 100k at me. It's actually not true, but I come and go from classes as I need to because

I am so far ahead and I am only in one class with her, so she wouldn't actually know if Pm in class

or not. I spent a ton of time there last year though, due to her antics, but she conveniently left that

part out. I choose not to answer, they want to think and act for me, I'm not going to stop them. They

can prove how well they know me by choosing to believe her accusations or not. I cross my arms

and look defiantly at everyone daring the guys to choose, Kaley or me.

As predicted, none of them say anything. They are not supporting me or her, which hurts just as bad

as if they would have taken her side. At least then I would know where I stand. Based on the look

on her face, she thinks that they agree with her. They just showed both of us they think of us as

equals or at the very least are chickensh*t and don't want to look like they are taking sides which

solidified my belief in my true place in their life. I roll my eyes and turn to walk away.
