A/N: Check out the lyrics in English of 'Egoista' from Ozuna. The lyrics remind me of Caleb's BS.

Caleb

Once she left the room fell silent. My wolf was urging me to go after her and apologize for some reason. When I asked him why, he just went quiet. 

I sit on the couch and run my fingers through my hair. Today's date was perfect. That woman drives me crazy. I cannot even put in words how I feel whenever she is in my arms. I had never had so much fun. Of course I had to go and ruin it. 

I glare at the girl beside me. "What are you doing here, anyway?" I ask her. 

"I called Chris to hang out and he said that he was already busy. He gave me your address and told me that as long as I not annoy you with chit chat I could have fun with you." 

She shrugs and reaches for another slice of pizza. I close the box before she can get one.

"You already had your fun. Now get the hell out of my house!" If she had not come here today, I would not feel as bad as I do now. The girl leaves without putting much of a fight. 

I lay my back on the couch. "Why do I feel like I messed up, Samuel?" I ask my best friend. 

"Because you did," he says sitting next to me. 

"Why the heck would you do what you did this afternoon?" asks Matt. "I thought you wanted to befriend Anna. You said so yourself." He sits on the couch across me. 

"I do not know," I say. "Today was... different. I feel so drawn to her that it is scary. If it is with her, I think that I could even fall in love." 

I admit it. I might or might have not done what I did to push her away on purpose. 

"And that is something bad, because?" asks Samuel. 

"Because, she is just like me," I say. "She honestly does not care about me at all. She just thinks I am some kid. I cannot be the little teen boy getting all worked up over everything his teacher does. Also, have you not seen her? She is gorgeous and single. She is probably as much of a player as I am."

"She is not like that," says Samuel. 

I look at him. "So, who are Oliver and Xander, then?" I ask. 

"I do not think she is really doing anything with either of them," says Matt. 

"She is a nice girl," says Samuel. 

I snicker. "Yeah right. She is probably fucking both of them while she gets all offended for what I do. The only difference between the two of us is that I do not try to hide what I am." 

Samuel glares at me and I frown back at him. 

"What? An immature idiot? She is nothing like you say!" says Matt standing up and walking until he is in front of me. 

I growl at his disrespect. Samuel stands up as well and pulls him away. I can tell he is mindlinking him. After a moment Matt sighs and walks out of the living room. 

"I really hope she gets tired of your shit already," he says before slamming the front door shut. 

"He is not wrong," says Samuel. 

I cradle my head with my hands. Why is Matt getting all emotional over this? Samuel plops down beside me and begins checking his cellphone. 

"Well, what is up that guys' ass?" asks Chris as he enters the living room. 

"Hey, did you just come home?" I ask him. 

"Yes, did you like my present?" Chris flashes a sly smile. 

"You knew he was hanging out with Anna today," says Samuel without tearing his gaze off his phone. "Why did you do that?" 

Chris smirks and sits where Matt had been sitting. "I do not like her. She is a nobody and acts like she is all high and mighty." 

Samuel scowls at him. I take a deep breath. Chris is an asshole who thinks that Alphas and high ranked wolves are about everyone else. He always says things like this. Never before had his words made me so furious, though. 

"She is your teacher," Samuel says.

 "She does not respect the Alpha," Chris argues. 

Samuel rolls his eyes. My wolf is not even talking to me. He just wants to get out and tear Chris apart. 

"I do not understand why you let her talk to you in the way she does even outside of the school. She needs to be put in place." 

I growl at him. "Shut up. She has done nothing wrong!" I stand up and leave the room. I turn right and mindlessly walk down the hall until I am in front of her room. 

I put my hand against her door not daring to knock. I sigh. What am I even going to say if she opens the door? An apology? For what? It is not like we are dating or something. I put my forehead against the door. I sigh again. 

"Are you going to knock on the door or you are just trying to steal all the oxygen from my room with your sighs?" Anna says. 

She opens the door and I lose my balance, almost crashing on her. Her hair is all messy and she is just wearing an oversized shirt. I look at her from head to top. 

"Beautiful..." I whisper and she crosses her hands over her chest and frowns at me.

"Why are you so angry?" I ask her. 

She scoffs. "Do you even need to ask?" she says. 

"Yes, I do actually." I run one hand through my hair. "You said that you wanted to be my friend just like Samuel or Matt. I thought we had fun today." 

She rolls her eyes. "We did. Until you decided to go fuck some random girl." 

I shrug. "Anna. Do you see any of my friends getting jealous because of what I do with girls?" 

She looked down at her feet and exhaled loudly. I grabbed her chin and made her face me. 

"Anna, tell me the truth. Why are you this angry?" 

Her eyes fill with tears. "Let me go..." she whispers. 

I let go of her. "Just tell me why. Do you like me or something?" 

She wipes her tears off. "No, I do not like you actually. How could I?" She taps her foot on the floor. "Anything else?"

 If looks could kill I would have died about fifty time during the last five minutes. My wolf whimpers. 

"Yes, just one more thing. Anna, am I..." I run both of my hands across my face. "Am I your mate?" 

Her frown vanishes but her lower lip quivers. She bites it and looks up closing her eyes. She faces me again. "Caleb... I..."

A/N: Now, I can go do college stuff for the rest of the week.
