A Mistake Mate
Chapter 16

I didn't feel like eating today, so I wasn't going to. A few minutes later Seth and Lela returned to the table with food in there hands. Lela slid a sandwich across the table and looked at me expectantly, I shook my head and pushed it back to her.

"Oh come on, you need to eat Paisley." She whined as she sat down. I sighed before taking the sandwich and unwrapping it, I knew if I didn't eat it they would both through a fit. I munched on the turkey sandwich and stared down at the table. I could feel Lela and Seth's eyes staring intently at me but I refused to look up.

"Are you alright?" Lela finally asked, breaking the silence a few moments later. Without looking up I nodded my head. Seth let out a deep sigh before grabbing my hands.

"No your not Paisley, we know it and you can talk to us about it." He said comfortingly. And he was right, I'm not okay, but I don't feel the need to talk about it. I'm not that kind of person, I keep things bottled up inside of me, that is until I can't take it anymore.

"I appreciate the fact that you care about me, but I really don't want to talk about it right now." I said quietly. I looked up for a few seconds and saw that they both had defeated looks on there faces. I felt a tinge of guilt in the bottom of my stomach but I pushed it away. The lunch bell rung and the three of us silently stood up from our table and walked towards the lunch table.

I had just dumped my lunch into the garbage and turned around when I ran right into somebody, successfully knocking me to the ground. I sat startled on the ground and let out a groan because my butt was in pain.

"I'm so sorry!" I heard a voice come from above me. I looked up to see a girl that I had never seen before. She had bleach blonde hair, but it didn't look died it looked natural, along with dark tanned skin and wide baby blue eyes. She was a beauty and she had to be the new girl that everybody was talking about.

"It's fine." I said with a smile as I hauled myself up from the ground. The girl looked guilty so I gave her a kind smile.

"I'm Paisley." I offered as I held my hand out for her to shake. Her eyes widened and recognition flashed in them before she covered it up and put a smile on her face.

"Perrie." She answered as she took my hand in hers. After a good shake I released her hand and took a step back.

"Again, I'm really sorry about running into you." She repeated with a sheepish smile. I had just opened my mouth to reply when a tall figure stepped up next to Perrie and put there arm around her.

"Hey babe. What are you doing talking to her?" Xander asked with a smirk on his face. I immediately stiffened as soon as I heard his voice before slowly raising my head up to look at him. He had a cocky smirk on his face and he was intently staring down at me.

"Oh nothing baby, I just accidentally ran into her." Perrie answered. Xander nodded his head before swooping down and capturing her lips with his, and that's when I realized that Perrie was the blonde that had been sitting on Xander's lap. I sucked in a deep breath before rolling my eyes and stomping away from the 'happy couple'. I slightly turned my head back to see that Perrie was staring after me confused, I rolled my eyes again before turning away from the bitch.

"Finally!" I sighed in relief as Seth, Lela and I exited the school. After the whole incident at lunch I had been in a horrible mood all day and the rest of school seemed to drag on. I followed the pair out to the car and climbed in. Seth started up the car and pulled out of the parking lot.

"Hey Paisley who was that girl you were talking to at lunch?" Lela asked curiously. Just the thought of Perrie put me in a sour mood. I sighed and ran a hand threw my long black hair.

"Her names Perrie, she's new here." I answered quietly.

"Ooh! That's the me girl that everybody has been talking about." I nodded my head and she continued. "Do you know what pack she's in?" She asked curiously.

"We'll my parents haven't said anything to me about it so shed probably in Xander's, it would make sense because he was all over her at lunch today." I said bitterly. Lela flinched away from my harsh tone and it was then that I realized how much of my alpha voice I had put into that.

"I'm sorry Lela, I didn't mean to use the voice. It just kinda happened cuz I'm not in the best of moods." I said apologetically. She nodded her head before smiling happily at me. A few minutes later and we had pulled up to my house.
