Episode 1

"Hey Ma, what do you think my mate will be like?"

"Um, well, there's no way to know, Any" she turned to look at me with a smile "What do you want him to be like?" I thought about the question for a bit.

"Well, I'd like him to be someone kind, romantic, but not too sappy, someone who loves me and takes care of me, oh, also someone who pays attention to detail and likes to go on dates with me" I finished while taking a slice of the tangerine I had been peeling.

"What a beautiful description. What about his physical appearance? I thought that would be the first thing you'd mention."

"Well, I don't really know, maybe someone a little handsome, I don't really like to comment on other people's appearance" she smiled and I looked away.

(...)

Three years ago...

The bell for the start of classes had rung. I was on my way to class with Lily, my friend.

"Hey Any, did you do the physics homework?"

"Of course, here you go" I took the book out of my backpack.

"Thank you so so much! Muak muak" she hugged me and I laughed.

"Yaaa"

"Guys, please everyone take a seat" the professor entered.

"Today a new classmate joins the course, please introduce yourself."

Wow, it's rare to receive a new classmate in the middle of the year.

"Good morning! I'm Alicia Wilson, I hope we get along well!"

With hair as black as night and beautiful green eyes, skin of a light tan that made a beautiful contrast, in addition to those pretty freckles on her face.

She's... Very pretty.

Everyone applauded; when looking for a seat, several boys asked her to occupy the seat next to them. So, until the professor himself had to assign her seat and it was next to mine.

"Hello" I greeted with a smile.

"Hello" she replied in the same way.

Classes continued until recess, everyone began to put their things away.

When I finished, I looked up and our eyes met with Lily, she motioned for me to talk to Alicia and invite her to eat with us.

"Um" we approached to get her attention "Alicia, right?"

"Oh hello" she blushed "yes, nice to meet you. And you?" we smiled

"I'm Anya" I introduced myself.

"Her friends call her Any and I'm Liliana, but you can call me Lily" she introduced herself with a big smile, typical of her.

"We're going to the cafeteria, do you want to come with us?" I offered, I could see her eyes light up.

"Yes, I want to, thank you!"

Together we headed to the cafeteria, there we would meet with the others.

"We're hereee~" I left my tray to sit next to Dan.

"You took longer than usual" Lyra pointed out.

Suddenly, someone came running and took some of my food.

"Excusse meee"

"Hey Luck, that was rude!" I protested and the others laughed.

"It's just that... Uf..." he seemed agitated, so he paused for a moment and took a breath before speaking "we're going to play a basketball game with... Wow" he was stunned, we all looked in the same direction.

It was Alicia, she seemed to have bumped into someone.

It can't be

The person Alicia bumped into was none other than Ethan Harrington, one of the triplets, son of the leader of our pack.

I got up instinctively, I was about to approach, until I saw the scene.

She was sobbing and apologizing, she looked really vulnerable and small, while he, contrary to his normal behavior that would be one more rough and indifferent, approached her and gave her a sweet smile, I could see him denying and helping her recover, she smiled back at him and gradually calmed down.

"Any..." Lily put her hand on my shoulder, I turned to see her.

"It's okay, please don't say anything, she doesn't know" everyone nodded.

My friends knew the attraction I felt for him, although of course, it had always been something unilateral, because he has never noticed me.

Alicia joined the group, and soon integrated perfectly. She always had a smile for me and seemed very grateful for my kindness.

"Um by the way, what year is that guy in? I never expected to find such cute guys around here" she said with a blush as she looked in the direction of the table where the triplets and their friends were.

"His name is Ethan Harrington, one of the sons of the pack leader" Lyra informed.

"He and his two brothers are like the princes of this place, they are the greatest pride of the school and they are in third year" Lily.

"Each one has exceptional skills" said Luck with some envy, clearly he saw them as rivals.

"They are a year older than us" said Alicia and the others nodded.

The bell rang again indicating the return to classes.

"I don't want to go to math class~" Lily complained and I laughed.

"The topics are not complicated, and if you don't understand them, you know that I will explain it to you" she hugged me.

"Hey girls" Alicia.

"Mm?" we both turned to see her.

"You... Haven't woken up yet, have you?"

"Well, we hope to do it this year. What about you?" I asked.

"I also hope to do it this year" she became shy.

"What sudden personality changes, from one moment to another she goes from being charming and charismatic, to someone shy and"adorable"as many might consider, it's weird..."

Thus began the second half of our second year of high school and I definitely wouldn't expect it to be a matter of weeks for my quiet and friendly school life to completely fall apart, I didn't know I had put the hunter in my own group of friends.
