Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 5 - A New Friendship.

Adeline was in full panic mode. How could he bully her into something like that? He had legit dragged her into something that she wanted to have no part in. Why would she roam around the first day and try to be a teacher's pet?

She was still glaring at him, wanting to burn him with her nonexistent superman laser eyes. This idiot.

"Okay, then. Adeline, Xavier hurry up. Please be back five." The teacher gave his permission.

"You got it." Xavier gave tip-lipped smile and went out of the class. Adeline slowly got up and followed him out of the class. He continued walking in front of her and didn't look back. She sighed and ran to catch up with him.

"Why did you take my name?" She hissed as he continued to walk not bothering to look at her but a small smile played at his lips. He looked naughty and damn, she felt attracted to him.

"Because you were not listening to me when I was calling you." He said, with a sexy, sexy smile on his face. Damm, that made her knees go weak but she held her ground.

"That's no answer," she objected. "And not to mention, your indisciplined behaviour in class will cost you."

"Indis—" he scoffed out of amusement. "What?" He laughed a little looking at her.

"Indiscipline. It's a lack of discipline." Adele half-heartedly told him. He seemed to be smart but now he looked like a dumb yet sexy guy to her.

"No shit Sherlock. That's some awesome definition you gave." He opened the door to a room and started going through papers that were laid there. She noticed how he always kept them back and in a better, more neat manner.

"So," he started to talk, "why did you leave your school and come to a new one for your senior year?" He glanced at her once.

"Junior year." She corrected him. "It's my junior year. I have two advanced class, Latin and English." She answered him and then became quiet.

"My question still stands," he reminded her while singing his words.

"Oh," she blushed. She had forgotten to answer his questions after correcting him. "My father received a better paying job offer." She answered honestly.

"And you shifted all the way?" He raised a brow at that. Damm, he looked hot. "You were okay with uprooting your life for his? Plus, you don't look like you like the cold. "

"He is my father." She felt the need to defend him and so she did. "Friends will come and go but he will remain constantly in my life. So yes, if I have to uproot my life for him, I will gladly do so again." She stood her ground. Her father was her rock and nobody was going to ever question that. "Yes, the cold is really bad." she shoved her hands in the jacket's pockets.

He smiled. A genuine, lovely smile. "You're a great person, Adeline woods."

"Yeah, I know." She mumbled, blushing. "You stabbed this great person with a pencil though." She reminded.

Xavier threw his head back and laughed. "Come on, let's get the assignment papers to Mr Cullen."

They walked back to the classroom. Taking halves of the papers, they distributed it throughout the class. Adeline took her seat and Xavier took his. They were told to go through the questions and get their doubts cleared.

"I am repeating my words, kids," Mr Cullen reminded them. "Get your doubts cleared now. No excuses for the day of submission."

Adeline was leaning back on the seat and skimming through the questions when a paper ball landed on her desk. Panicked, she looked in front of the man on the teacher's desk. He seemed to be busy with students.

She hurriedly opened it and read the words. 'Your hands are so small. How's Thumbelina for a nickname?'

Adeline felt offended. She glared at the guy behind her and stuffed the paper ball inside her bag. She was not going to encourage him by replying. "Bigfoot," she muttered under her breath and ignored his presence no matter how hard it was.

Unknown to her, Xavier had heard her and he chuckled at that. She was so small and cute. Like a penguin. That's what her nickname was going to be.

Penguin.

"That's great!" Xavier's brother; Alexander commented on the news of his brother finding his mate.

"I know," he sighed blissfully while texting him back.

"Want me to tell mom?" Alexander texted back.

Xavier clicked his tongue at that. That was going to be difficult. Mama was going to go crazy on Adeline. "I will." He texted, hit send and then kept his phone away. Ah, the joys of finding your mate. This was going to be tough especially since she was human.

"Hey," he tapped Adeline's back. She was already walking out to go to her next class. "Where's your next class? I can show you the way."

At that offer, she handed her timetable to him. "Okay, this one is here down the hall." He pointed to a specific room. "And the third one is on the second floor, third room from those stairs." He pointed.

"Thank you." She smiled. This had made things a bit easier. She was grateful.

"Yeah, no problem." He replied. "Since you are new, do you want to sit with me during lunch?"

"Sure." She smiled. To a new friendship.

And much more... He thought.
