Beast Heart book one: Call to the Beast Inside (chapter four)

Sorry I haven't posted in a while!!! I've just been SO busy!! -_-
Anyways here's chapter four of my book/fanfiction Beast Heart:

Tiger grabbed her jacket and tied it around her waist. Midg then came hovering in, followed by a boy with half his hair light brown and the other half dark brown. He was the same age as her, thirteen, and he wore a black jacket, blue long-sleeved shirt, and dark blue jeans.
“Jake!” Tiger said as she saw the boy walk into the room, “You heard me talking to them didn’t you?” her hazel eyes got a look of pure sadness and loneliness in them.
“Yeah I did,” Jake said as he put a hand on his friends shoulder, “Why didn’t you tell them your real name?”
“There’s to much going on in my life right now,” Tiger replied as Jake removed his hand from her shoulder, “I don’t need any more chaos.”
“Do you remember when we first came here?”
“Yes...but what does...”
“You always imagined what you would do if you ever got the chance to be a hero with magical powers,” Jake’s voice with calm and smooth, “You’re the one who got me all into mythical creatures, magic spells, and all of that stuff. Yet when that opportunity came...”
“I know,” Tiger said; interrupting Jake, “I chocked...I lied and told them my name was Tiger...when that’s my nickname, between us and Teresa.”
“Tiger...” Ora and Midg had stayed quite up until now.
“What’s wrong with a little more chaos?” Midg asked as Ora elbowed him in the side, “What? Chaos doesn’t ruin your life, it makes you stronger...”
“Just be happy you haven’t seen the real me...” Tiger stammered as she remembered how it was at her old school.
It hadn’t been that long since she had got her Beast Heart and had convinced her parents to let her transfer to the training academy...course she had told them it was a boarding school. She missed her old friends; she missed running the mile every Thursday; she missed her sister and family; and surprisingly she missed her rival at the school. The only friends that had come with her to the academy were Jake and Teresa, and that was because they too had Beast Hearts. The day she had left to go to the academy wasn’t long after her friend had moved back to Manteca...thinking about that just made Tiger sad. She couldn’t believe she missed where she used to live, but she did. She also missed her cat, dog, and tortoise; they were all like her babies and yet she couldn’t have brought them along with her.
“Hey, Tiger,” Jake said; braking the silence, “Let’s get going, Teresa is waiting for us.” “Okay,” Tiger replied as she walked off with Jake, Ora, and Midg following from behind.
