The Lycan's Soul Mate
chapter 6 The Calm

The first few classes of the day were not too bad. She had sciences thismorning and those were her comfort zones. She got to shine. Sheunderstood everything as she loved the sciences. Her new friend washaving some troubles with Anatomy but she was fine with Biology andChemistry. She had offered to help her with those subjects if sheneeded any help and of course Soccorah was so happy that she quicklyaccepted without hesitation.

They had separate classes just before lunch so that was not too good asLuna had not gotten close to anyone else in her class before lunchbreak. She walked into the lunchroom and grabbed some fruit yoghurtsome juice and a sandwich. She walked round and took a seat at a tablenear the window alone. She sat and intently surveyed the room hopingto catch a glimpse of a familiar face but even though she grew up inthis area no one from her high school came here. Most of the kids wentto work or the few who went to college went out of state to gain somedistance from their families or just to get to know someplace new.Luna sat alone at the table looking at the busy cafeteria as she quicklygobbled up her lunch. Students were eating and leaving while otherstook their places. She sat for about 15 minutes and dropped off hertray. She'd hoped that she would have been able to catch Soccorah tohave lunch with her as she was the only new friend she had made thusfar.

Luna walked out of the cafeteria and headed outside to sit under alarge oak tree. She had 2 free periods after Lunch then her final class ofthe day her dreaded GYM class.Luna sat under the shade of the greatoak tree and took out her chemistry book and started to brush up onmemorizing the periodic table. She was a bit rusty as she began lookingat hydrogen and shut her eyes trying to recall atomic number andsymbol. She spent the rest of lunch break doing that then put her bookaway and opened her eyes.

Soccorah had Spanish as a second language with Luca before Lunchand it was a sight to see him struggle with this. Give him that.... He wasfairly good, but the fact that Luca was the best at everything; shegiggled to herself realizing that she was better than him at this onething. They listened and conversed together as it was a very nice andinteractive class. You didn’t have to sit and listen like must other classesbut actually had to participate and actively to get a good final grade.Soccorah glanced at the clock realizing that it was close to lunch. Shethought whether she would meet up with Luna the girl that she metwho was so nice. She'd really like her to meet Luca. Afterall if they weregoing to be friends then it was only fair that she met all her friends andLuca was supposed to be her very best friend. As the bell went, Lunagrabbed her stuff and got up to get to the cafeteria but Luca hadquestions and he stayed back to speak with the Spanish professor andSoccorah had no choice but to wait for him outside.

Soccorah was a bit impatient as she really wanted to speak with Lunaagain; however, she could not leave Luca alone as they needed to havelunch together to create the impression that he was taken. She waitedfor what seemed to be an eternity and her patience started wearingthin. She whispered to Luca as she knew that he could hear her with hisenhanced hearing. “Why don't you just take all of my time won't you.You know that I can help you with Spanish. I'm not that bad.”

Luca ignored Soccorah and finished clearing up his doubts. When hefinally emerged, he took her hand and the walked toward the cafeteria.By the time they got there it was already 12:40. “Shit” Luca said outloud. “I need to start and finish this assignment today.” Soccorahlooked at him intently. Her gaze mandating a response.

“First day of school and this guy has already given an assignment. Ihave to complete it at the soonest because the full moon is in a fewdays and as you know, my nights won't belong to me.” He explainedwith a sigh. “Ahh. Right. Guess I have to thank the goddess for notblessing me with this problem.” College would be a challenge for Lucaas he literally was living a double life. Everything had to be separatedincluding his time as it was important that he did not keep his wolfimprisoned. He needed to be let out, to run free in the woods, to howl.While they were seated Soccorah searched the room looking at thevarious faces but looking especially for the white-haired girl from heranatomy class. She needed to get hold of her before the end of the dayas she needed a contact for her so they could set up a study session asshe didn't want her performance to suffer because of Anatomy. “I madea new friend” she told Luca. “don’t be a doosh when you meet her.”Why would I be? Is there something wrong with her?” he laughed.“Well, she has White hair and brows. Not something You see every dayand she’s a wiz at the sciences. She's agreed to help me in that area.Was actually trying to get here early since I didn't get a chance to takeher number to set up a study schedule.” She told him. “What! A girlwith white hair? This I must see. When you bring her over give me aheads up?” He said as he got up to return his lunch tray. “I'm off to thelibrary. Time is against me.” He gave her a peck on the forehead and setoff to the library to get started on this essay. This was all that Luca wasconcerned about.

Luca sat in the library getting the materials he needed to start his essayas time was against him. His mind swayed back to what Soccorah hadtold him about the white-haired girl. He tried to imagine what shewould look like and smiled to himself. He silently wondered whethershe could be his white wolf. he shrugged off the idea as he wonderedwhy he was so fixated on that wolf. He needed to get his wits abouthim. He was the son of an Alpha. A special Lycan. A gift bestowed uponhis pack by the goddess. He needed to get his wits about him and getback to reality.
