His Human Mate

Zoe stood behind the bookshelves of the library as she stared daggers at the blonde girl sitting alone at one of the tables in front of her.

She doesn't get why Erick would want to work with her. She was surprised when she heard that he was determined to work with this b*tch. Usually, he would say 'yes' to her. He hardly says 'no' to her, unless it was with Hamish.

From what she had heard about this girl was that she wasn't even that smart. She likes to daze off in class. And one time, she even fails at one of the first tests. Zoe also remembers that that girl wasn't even pretty. Her mouth was wide. Her eyes were a murky green. The only thing that was pretty about her was her white blonde hair. But when it comes to the whole facade, Zoe was even more beautiful than that blondie. Her body is more s.e.xy than hers too. Additionally, she's one of the head cheerleaders as well.

She did not know how close they were. And she doesn't even know how they got to be so close. During Literature class, it was her first time seeing Erick interact with her. They never talked to each other before! And earlier during that class, when Zoe walked over to him, she saw him flirting with her as well, giving that heart-melting smile of his. She had gritted her teeth in jealousy at the look of Erick flirting and the blonde acting all coy and shy. It made her sick!

She has been in love with Erick for some time. She had given him so many hints to tell him that she's really into him. He might not know this but they both came from the same middle school too.

But back then, she was fat and had terrible acne problems. It was so terrible that her mother had sent her to numerous face treatments. And she was already a size 18 in middle school. There were times that she was mistaken as a fat college girl, instead of a middle schooler.

And it was back in middle school when she first met Erick. He was friendly and handsome. Even at 11 years old, he already has that charisma and good looks. She did not think that he even had an acne problem. It was love at first sight for her. All it took was a smile and a word of 'hi' from him to make her fall hard. Although he was friendly and popular, he never hung out with her. Most of the time, he was either with his friends or other pretty skinny girls. She doubts that he would remember her from back then. She looked so different now.

Wanting to change her image and make him fall for her, she had begged her parents to send her to fat camp where she was determined to change her look and become slim. Her parents were rich, so there weren't any problems when it comes to money. And because she was an only child, they liked to spoiled and dotted on her. Luckily, back in middle school, she had some friends so she wasn't bullied. The pretty girls and popular guys back then tend to ignore her. Probably because of her parents.

Her father was one of the city's council members and her mother used to be an heiress, who spent most of her time doing charities. Because they were busy with their work, they usually gave her whatever she wanted, as long as she was happy. Guess it was one way for them to compensate Zoe from being lonely and missing them too much.

At the fat camp, she had spent her whole summer, losing the extra weight and then she continued on until she finished her middle school. She even did laser treatment for her acne problem.

She succeeded in losing more than forty pounds. She had to buy a new wardrobe for her new look. She was very proud of herself. Her friends from middle school were so shocked by her transformation. Even those popular girls did not recognize her and sought to be her friends.

After middle school, she followed him to this school and tried to get into the same class. She only managed to have a few classes together with him. She then joined the cheerleader squad and even became one of the co-head cheerleaders during her freshman year. She thought that by becoming a cheerleader, she would gain his attention. You know, the typical romance of a cheerleader and a jock.

Yet, no matter how hard she tried to seduce and coax him to sleep with her, he wouldn't budge. In fact, she lost count of how many times she had tried to move to second base with him but failed. At most, they would just touch each other intimately. But never past that.

It frustrates Zoe so much that she tends to experience lots of s.e.x.u.a.l frustration. Hence, to get rid of them, she slept with other guys. Sometimes her s.e.x toys weren't enough to curb her d.e.s.i.r.es. Even though she hated herself for not saving her first time for Erick, she was desperate. One time, she even dated other guys on purpose, just to see his reaction.

But nada.

He would pretend it didn't happen.

He still would go on a date with her but not always.

Recently, he hasn't been in school lately. Funnily enough, she never knew where he lived either. Sometimes when she tried to follow him home, she would end up in the woods. Since then, she does not dare follow him anymore.

She knew Erick had been tolerating her all this while, to the fact that they were known as an on-and-off couple. And seeing his transformation after weeks of absence from school had turned her on. He looked buff and toned. She thought he looked even better than before. She could not understand how a man can become so handsome.

But his action this morning made her furious.

He had never rejected her. And she felt hurt when she saw him cringe after pushing her away.

Then during homeroom, she was again surprised to see him suddenly run out of the class. It was weird to see him like this.

Looking at the girl sitting just a few metres away, her fists clenched at her sides.

'It was all her fault,' she thought angrily. 'If she hadn't moved here in the first place, he wouldn't have been like this!'

'No one will ever take him away from me,' she swore vehemently.
