CHAPTER 7

( Olivia’s POV )

'BANG' "Mmm", I slam my hand down onto the alarm clock, pressing the button on top to make it stop.

"I want to go back to sleep" I plead with the alarm but of course it doesn't listen, when will I learn that alarm clocks can't talk, just sing. Lol.

I guess I should introduce myself even though I don't really want to right? My name is Olivia Jane Taylor but I like to be called Olive and I'm 17. I have long, silky brown hair that reaches all the way to my waist, just above my butt, an olive complexion, slim toned body figure and big green eyes with yellow flexes, which I personally don't know how I got them. Funny story, my mum has blue eyes, dad has brown and my twin brother has blue like our mother, the only thing I inherited from my parents was my brown hair.

Okay, I guess that wasn't really a funny story, haha... I just blab on pretty frequently. So yeah.. Moving on, my mothers name is Rosalie Taylor, dads name is Brent Taylor and lastly but definitely not least is my twin's name Dylan Taylor.

My father is Alpha of the Red Dawn Pack which makes my mother Luna and my brother the soon-to-be Alpha. I could have beaten the soon-to-be Alpha of our pack but I thought my brother would do a better job and personally I didn't want that big of a responsibility put on me. I mean I will do anything for my pack and their safety but my twin will do a better job and because he has found his mate recently, so the position will be turned to him soon.

I haven't found mine yet but I'm not too worried because there is still time.

I go to the werewolf academy for both boys and girls located on a small island in a secluded area and I'm in my last year. I and my twin chose to go to this academy rather than the other one just for Alphas, Betas and Gammas because we don't believe that just because we have a higher position that we should be superior, I mean we get the classes that we need at our academy and we befriend more people. The other academy is located a couple islands away but far enough that it would take a week to travel to each place by boat. Anyway, on with the story…

"Are you up yet Olive?" Dylan shouted banging on my door, "if you're not I'm getting a bucket of cold water and pouring it on you!"

"I'm up, I'm up geez, grumpy bum. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed" I mumbled through the pillow.

"Well hurry up and bring your suitcases downstairs, we have to leave in 30 minutes to make it to the airport in time" Dylan said and shuffling footsteps were all I heard to know that he had left.

Groaning, I got up and walked into my bathroom to shower and get myself ready. I washed my hair with my lavender scented shampoo and conditioner and vanilla body scrub. 10 minutes was all I took because I got my clothes ready the night before and I'm not too concerned with how I'll look, I mean I'm wearing blue sweats for gods sake. All I'm going to do today is be on a plane for 5 hours, then a boat for 3.

The only thing I hate about the academy is how long it takes to get there but after that I'll be with my best friends, Jake and Selena. They're twins from the beta family, in the Black Knight Pack.

They haven't found their mates yet so all together were like the three single musketeers. We love playing pranks on everyone, we're all in the same classes and everyone considers us to be the jokers of the school.

While walking down the stairs with my two suitcases in hand, I smelt bacon so I started rushing the last cloud of steps because I know if I'm late my father and twin will eat it all. I'm not kidding it's happened once before and I will not let it happen again, bacon is a sacred food. Leaving my suitcases at the bottom of the staircase I run into the kitchen, sit down and snag 5 pieces of bacon even before mum has time to actually place it on the table.

"Are you right there Olive?" My mother asks, chuckling.

"Yep" I reply smiling with my mouth full and bacon hanging out. She shakes her head smiling, as she sits down across from me, next to my father. Who is piling his plate full with food just like my brother. We sit in content eating the delicious breakfast mum made, with a comfortable silence.

20 minutes later we cleaned up the dishes, packed our luggage into the car and said goodbye to our parents. Along the way we pulled into a grocery store to stock up on snacks and lollies for the trip.

I downloaded some story books the night before so I'm all prepared now.

We get to the airport just in time and start our journey to the academy. 'It's going to be a good year' I think to myself, with my best friends, what could go wrong.

*****

We gathered our suitcases and placed them into the back of the limousine, yep you read right, all kids get a limousine to ride in for the journey to school and it's great. Even though we only get to be in it for 20 minutes because that's how close the academy is to the dock, we make the most of it.

There's lollies, chocolates, drinks and even an Xbox. Dylan and I look towards each other before we dig in and stuff our faces full but 5 minutes later we're on the Xbox playing Call of Duty: Zombies and let me tell you something, Dylan can't play to save his life.

He is quite literally dying every 5 seconds and I'm the one who has to go back and revive him, so we soon change the game to a racing one. Just as we are about to cross the finish line the car stops and the driver, I think he's name was Ben, ahh I can’t remember opening the door and I completely forget about the game because I see my two best friends standing by the log double doors waiting for me.

"Jake, Selena, ahhhh!" I scream from the top of my lungs, slightly scaring Ben and Dylan. I race forward, jumping on both of them, sending us crashing to the ground, "I missed you guys so much and I missed all our pranks" I say gleefully.

In unison the three of them all scream "The three single musketeers!"

"I missed you too Charl" Selena said while hugging me, practically crushing my bones while she's at it.

"Me three" Jake says joining the hug.

"Alright, alright. You guys get the joy of helping me carry my luggage to my new room" I said sweetly, " and I will not accept any excuses."

"OMG, I totally forgot to mention, we’re roomies!

Eek!" Selena squeals in delight while running to get one of her bags which are now standing beside the car.

"I'll see you later charll, Chloe (his mate) just texted me that she has found our room and so I'm going to go meet her. Please don't get into trouble and prank the dean on the first day, just like you did last time. It took him 3 days to wash all of the blue paint you dumped on him off" Dylan says almost pleadingly.

"I'll try" I mumbles, with a wink after it.

Jake, Selena and I made quiet chit chat as we carried all my luggage up to the room.

"Well I'm off now, I have to go back to my room and unpack my belongings if I want it done before orientation starts" Jake says, his left hand in the air waving bye, while already halfway down the hallway.

"Okay, we'll see you in Orientation then and we will save you a seat" Selena replies half shouting so he could hear and when he put his thumb in the air, we knew that he had heard. "Alright then , let's start unpacking our things. I'll come back into your room when I'm done and it's time to leave" Selena says.

1 hour later~

Selena and I had finished unpacking all of our belongings, from putting up posters and decorations to placing the bathroom essentials away. We then made our way to the cafeteria, sitting at a table in the far corner that has the most perfect view of the beach. After gathering our time tables, 5 minutes later Jake came over and took a seat across from me.

When studying the time table, we noticed that we all had the same subjects.

1st period - English

2nd period - Werewolf History

Morning Tea

3rd period - Hunting and skills

4th Period - Math

Lunch

5th period - Gym

6th period - Fighting

I'm so looking forward to only three classes:

Hunting and skills, Gym and Fighting. 5 years ago if you had asked me what her favorite subjects were, then they wouldn't be the same because I was a different girl back then and honestly I would have said English and Werewolf History because they fantasized me the most but then that all changed.

As I got into fighting which worked for the better because I became one of the best fighters in all the packs and was well known to help others in improving their fighting skills. I believed that everyone deserves a chance to get better, even if they were absolutely terrible, I worked with them patiently and with ease.

Thinking about fighting again. I totally zoned out and didn't listen to a thing that was said from Headmaster Dean which quite frankly I was happy for because he is soo boring. One time he taught a Werewolf History class and I fell asleep halfway through it. Only waking up because Selena and Jake were shaking me saying that the class was over and it was time to go.

We said our goodbyes to Jake and walked back to our room in a comfortable silence, school was starting tomorrow and we didn't have to wear a uniform, how great is that. When we entered our room, I took a quick shower, jumped into my superman Pjs and went to bed thinking about what tomorrow would be like.

Thankful for not going into a nightmare like earlier this morning. I dozed off dreaming about eating bacon.
