My Human Mate novel Chapter 5

On her fourth day at school, it became worst. Ella's plan to become invisible the whole year was gone. Every time she meets the students in the hall or the corridor, they greet her with all smiles. It frustrates her because she doesn't know why they are doing it.

"Ella!" Gwen shouted. Ella facepalmed, Gwyneth's annoying her again. For the past days, she was consistently following her around. Ella tried to be mean to her as much as she can, but Gwen won't budge.

"Let's go together. Classes were canceled," she happily said and clung on Ella's arm. "They said there's a program on the gymnasium today," Gwen added with a huge grin plastered on her face. Ella rolled her eyes inwardly. She woke up early to go to school, finding out there are no classes, her irritation grew.

"I rather go home," Ella answered. She removed Gwen's hands on her and turned away, but Gwen quickly pulled her.

"No, we are going to the gymnasium. Besides, the guard won't let you go out anyway," she said and started walking to where the gymnasium is. Ella gave up; she couldn't do anything again. When they entered, it was already full of students. They sat on the space at the front. The program started with the Dean's speech.

"I'm so sorry, guys. Obsession can't play today," the emcee said after the Dean spoke. Many were sad about the announcement. The gymnasium was filled with protests. Ella glanced at Gwen and poked her arm.

"Who are they?" she curiously asked.

"They are the school's band," Gwen answered. Ella nodded her head. She's not interested in them. She stood up, and without looking back, she got out of the gymnasium and went to the garden.

When she arrived, she sat on the grass. Ella was amazed at how well maintained the garden of the school. She took a book out of her bag and began reading. She was immersed in it when she noticed that the students were leaving the gymnasium one by one.

"Where could he be?" Ella whispered, putting the book on her face. Like Gwyneth, Blaze kept bugging her every day, and it was unusual to see that he wasn't around the campus. Ella shook her head. She shouldn't be thinking about him right now. There are other things that she needed to do.

Ella went to the cafeteria to buy her food. With her irritation still brewing, she bit the hamburger she bought hastily without knowing that Gwyneth was already on her side, bringing her own food with her.

"Why was your forehead creased?" she asked. Instead of answering, Ella stood up and left the cafeteria. She doesn't know what's gotten in her. She excused herself in her professor and got a slip to go home. When she arrived, she immediately lay on her bed.

"Blaze," she muttered. "What's happening to me!? Am I attracted to him?" she added and messed her hair up.

"No, Ella. Remember what happened with your ex. He'll trick you," she said to herself and hugged her pillow. Flashbacks of when she was happy with Ashton reappeared. She wiped the tears that left her eyes and buried herself on the pillow. Ella closed her eyes, praying that the pain will go away. With a heavy heart, she drifted off to sleep.

"Alpha, you have a meeting in Winter's pack," Blaze's beta said. This was the reason why he couldn't attend school. Being the Alpha requires him to participate in the meeting, benefiting the pack actively. Blaze groaned as he doesn't want to go. In some discussions, he could order his beta to go, but today, it was different.
