She gives me a side eye. “It might be for the entire week.”
I roll my eyes. “Seriously, Cali?”
“Not my fault!” She says as we part ways and head to class
My day is much the same as yesterday. Clint is still my partner in Chemistry. I can’t tell if he’s showing off or if he just cares about chemistry, but he’s really good at it. I appreciate him as a lab partner. It makes the class easier and more enjoyable.
What is different from yesterday is Literature. Suddenly, Clint seems to have read the book and not only answers some of the questions, much to the surprise of everyone in the class including our teacher, but he also challenges some of my ideas. Seriously? Who is he?
In history, the movie is still going, so Clint pulls his desk closer, leaning in. talked with Anders, you’ll be sparring with me today.”
“I
“Well, that should be fun.” I say, not looking away from the boring ass movie. that we’re watching. Nothing about sparring with Clint sounds fun. It sounds like. a recipe for disaster.
“You want to win the warrior battles at the end of the school year, right?” He asks me.
Now I do turn to look at him. “Yes.”
“Then, it would be in your best interest to spar with me and then let Andra train. with Donovan, don’t you think?”
He has a point, but somehow, I feel like he’s using this to his advantage to get me to spend time with him.
At the end of the school day, I’m at my locker when Calista joins me. I turn to her. “We’re walking home, right?”
Just as I say it, Anders steps up behind her. “Everyone ready?”
I look at Cali. She never mentioned having to go home with them too.
“Pleeeeeeeease!” She mouths to me.
I put on my best fake smile. “Ready.” I say, just as Clint walks up behind me.
“Actually, Lily and I are going to walk home. It’ll get us warmed up for training. We’ll see you there,” Clint says.
I turn to him. “We are?”
He hooks his arm around my neck, pulling my bag from my shoulder and putting it on his. “Yes, we are.” He turns me toward the entrance of the school I look over my shoulder at Cali, my eyes wide. Her eyes are just as wide, but Anders has quite a smug look on his face.
“You two set this up, didn’t you?” I ask Clint
“I have no idea what you mean.” He says.
As we walk out of the school, I see nearly every female turn to glare at me.
Great
I hope you are enjoying Clint and Lily’s story. Updates occur Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Anders asked me earlier to find another way to get Lily home so he could have some alone time with Calista. Since I didn’t bring my car, I decided that a ‘warm up’ walk home would have to do. But in truth, I’m glad to have the time alone with Lily too.
I feel her body stiffen as we walk out of don’t really care if everyone knows the school. Yes, I’m making a statement. I
I’m interested in Lily. In a couple of months, they’ll all know that she’s my mate. Until then, I could care less what they think.
I decide to keep the conversation focused on our sparring session today. “So, tell me where you think your strengths and weaknesses are in your training?” I have my own ideas based on the obstacle course yesterday, but I want to know what her thoughts are.
As we walk, I realize she’s very aware of her strengths and weaknesses. It’s not always something that warriors recognize or are willing to discuss about themselves. They usually can identify their strengths but not their weaknesses or how they can work to improve their weaknesses.
Lily, however, has a lot of ideas about how to improve. She just needs to have. someone to spar with that can give her a challenge. I would have thought that Lucas could have done that, but I’m starting to realize that I’ve been underestimating Lily and so has Anders.
When we get to the place where we must split to go our different ways to change, I hand her bag back to her. “See you in a few, Lily.”
I jog to the packhouse, dropping my bag off in my room and changing quickly. I haven’t been this excited about sparring in a long time, probably not since I battled Alpha Patrick. I have a thought forming in my head about how to use Lily’s ideas and how to give her the workout of her life today.
When I get downstairs, I go to Alpha Patrick. “Alpha, I spoke to Anders and I’m going to spar with Lily today. I’d like to train her my own way. She’s better than I realized, and she has some good ideas for how to improve, but I want to really push her.”
“Anything I should know, Clint?” Alpha Patrick isn’t stupid, and he somehow manages to have his ear to the ground about everything going on in the pack. But I’m not ready to discuss that Lily is my mate with anyone other than Anders. “No, I just want to make sure that she gets the individualized training that she needs.”
“Mmmhmm.” I can tell that he doesn’t believe me, and that’s okay as long as he gives me permission to train Lily.
He looks at me for a long minute. “Okay, as long as you tell me what’s really going on as soon as you’re ready.”
“Deal, Alpha.”
“And we agreed you’d call me Patrick, Guardian.”
“Thank you, Patrick.” I say before turning to see Lily headed my way.
“Lily, you’re with Clint.” Alpha Patrick says.
As Alpha Patrick walks away, I give her a grin. “You’re with me.”
She rolls her eyes but turns to listen to today’s instruction.
“Actually, Alpha Patrick gave me the okay to work with you individually. I want to see what you’ve got.” I tell her and motion for her to follow me a little ways away.
She follows, but looks back, making sure that we won’t be called back.
When we’re far enough away, I turn and get into a defensive stance. “Show me what you’ve got.”
She looks at me like I’m crazy. “You want me to hit you?”
