Chapter 4: JJ's mate

(J.J. POV)

So many new faces here in Waldorf

I was hanging out with Anya, Marco and the rest of my friends in the school's parking lot, judging and making fun of students passing by.

"Marco, do you recognize any of these people?"

"I don't know man, I heard Waldorf recruited so many scholars from different places so yeah, these are definitely newbies."

"I don't even know why Waldorf would recruit so many. Our school's already overpopulated as it is." Anya complained.

"Hey! Some people are deprived of a good education, the school just wants to give students with potential a chance." I said before kissing her.

I was busy roaming my eyes around when I spotted this glorious beauty.

The most beautiful…boy…I have ever seen

He looks like a gorgeous anime who came to life with his blonde hair and green eyes. The strangest thing is he looks familiar. He looks like someone I have met before when I was young.

Before I can even figure out who he is, my wolf began howling inside.

"Mate!" He said. "Mate, he's our mate. He's the boy you saved from those three stupid ones, the boy at the playground."

"What?!!!"

I cannot believe it. It's really him. I knew it. That's why he looks so familiar. How can I ever forget someone as beautiful as him? He is even lovelier than I remember. He is walking with a girl. I studied her face for a little while before realizing that she was actually the girl who was with him that night at the playground.

Oh my, what a small world.

My heart started beating faster the nearer he gets. Everything I am hearing was tuned out. All my focus went completely towards him. He totally captivated me with his commanding presence and then suddenly, he looked towards my direction and made eye contact with me.

The moment he saw me, his eyes widened. He stopped walking and stood just a few feet away from me. He was just standing there, staring at me, making the longest eye contact ever.

I couldn't help but smile at him. He smiled back. His smile gave me goosebumps for a long time. My hands turned into clenched fists and I began sweating profusely, trying to restrain my wolf from going after him.

"J.J., what the hell?! Don't just stand there. Go to him." He growled.

"Shut up, you'll scare him off."

He waved at me and before I can even wave back, his friend already pulled him inside the building.

"J.J. Hello?!" Anya said as she snapped her fingers at me.

"Dude, you okay?" Marco asked.

"It's cold, why the hell are you sweating so much?" Nick asked.

"Are you okay? Do you have a fever?" Anya asked.

"I'm fine. I just…" I said as I couldn't make up my words anymore.

"You know what? Fuck it!" I said as I ran all the way inside the building and tried searching for him but he was already gone.

Damn it!

(Ravine POV)

"I'm telling you, Frida. It's him." I said.

"Ravine, we were kids back then. How do you even know that they are the same person?" She asked.

"I just know."

"Excuse me sir! Do you want to share something to the class?" The teacher said.

Great! What a way to start the first day of school.

"I'm sorry ma'am!"

It was him. It was the strange boy and I can't be wrong about it. Oh God! He grew up to be so handsome. He is even more handsome than I remember. He aged like a fine wine. I couldn't control myself, I just had to wave at him. I should have even walked up to him and said hi but of course, Frida had to ruin the moment.

His curly hair, his eyes, his complexion and his smile stood out to me. His smile will be the death of me and it never changed, it's still the same charming smile that I vividly remember. I know I should be focusing on something different right now but damn, fate really gave me a second chance of seeing him in the first day of my new school.

"Ravine! It's your turn to introduce yourself." Frida whispered.

"Oh right!" I said before standing up.

"Hi! My name is Ravine Canella. I am originally from Winstead and I am a Waldorf scholar. It's my first time here and I am looking forward to meeting some new people."

After I sat down, Frida scolded me.

"Listen, Ravine! This is the first day of school. You thinking about a boy we have met 10 years ago is not going to help you concentrate so if I were you, I would just focus on something more important. Remember, we are scholars and if we make one bad move, we can be stripped off our scholarship. We can't have that so cut it out and pay attention. You are not making a good first impression right now."

"But it is him! I am not messing with you, why won't you believe me?"

"Ravine, shhh!!"

"Don't shush me."

Ugh, I really hate Frida sometimes.
