I shiver when the cold wind brushes past me. Autumn is around the corner. I don't know for how long I will be able to sit outside. It would also be a good idea to start wearing a jacket. I pull the lunch I packed for myself out of my bag. Since I am not getting my food from the cafeteria anymore, I had to start packing food for myself. It's not the tortilla roll-ups, but this will have to do. I cannot function properly if I don't have something to eat. I pull my phone from my back pocket and glance at the screen. The changes I made caused the story to deviate completely from the original story and so far it has been getting out of hand. I asked the author to fill me in on the outcomes of the changes, but there has been no answer. And nice work on the author's side. They decided to get rid of Max by letting him move away. Why does he get an easy way out of his scandal, but I have to face the consequences? That is what I call lazy writing. With a sigh, I look around at the few stude
I'm at Cora's tonight. Mum and Dad just texted me they have a business dinner to attend tonight. Get yourself something to eat. Wow, what a coincidence. Everyone is away while Jake and I are home alone. Since everyone is gone for tonight, I might as well park Jake's car in the driveway. I don't want the car to be towed away. After I parked the car, I jump out of the car and head to the front door. I unlock my phone and search for the nearest pizza parlor while I walk through the door. I find the number and dial the parlor, closing the door behind me and locking it. As I make my way up the stairs to my room, I order two pizzas. As I make my way up the stairs to my room, I order two pizzas. The door creaks open silently and I see Jake clutching the blanket, fast asleep. Is he cold? I crouch next to the bed and place my hand against his forehead. He doesn't have a fever, which is a good sign, but he is covered in goosebumps. I throw another blanket over him. I decide to take a quick
"Kate, wait up," Allison calls from behind me. I pivot to her with my sports bag over my shoulder. She hurries over to me with parts of cardboard boxes in her arms. What is she going to do with that? "Yeah?" I take a subtle look at my watch. I still have volleyball practice. I turn my eyes to her while I cross my arms. She invited me to sit with them when lunch arrived, asking like it was just another day. She never apologized for throwing me away or for believing Tyler instead of me. She assumes we are best buds again as if nothing had happened. "A few of us are making signs for the game tonight. You are welcome to join us tonight." She sounds excited. I was not aware of the game tonight. I'm also guessing that the "us" are the other girls from the pack. "I'll see." I turn and start to the back of the school where the volleyball court is. She grabs my arm and pulls me back to her. I look at her with an arched brow. "Why are you like this? You didn't talk to me during lunch. You
I woke up this morning and was informed by my father that it is Friday. I do not know how many days I skipped. At this point, the author is doing the bare minimum. But, this is at the bottom of the list of all my problems. I have to do tryouts if I want to join the cheerleading squad and I need to do it as soon as possible. I understand why Miss T said to do tryouts since it would be unfair to the girls who did not make the squad if I just join without tryouts. I have to find Cora to arrange everything for the tryouts this afternoon, but I cannot find her. Where on earth can she be? I went to her classes to check whether she was there, but she was not there and she was also not in the restroom. I saw her this morning, talking to Oliver, which means that she was at school. Something is going on with the two of them. Oliver is going to break up with her if they continue like this. They fight over the dumbest things and Oliver might like another girl. He talked to a girl on the phone
My father sits in his chair in the living room. He takes a sip from his tea while he reads an ancient book with a strange symbol on the cover. It seems like a symbol a werewolf book would contain. Does Kate's father know something about the werewolves? Not that I know of in the original book, but so much has changed, I cannot be certain.I hear the rushed footsteps from my parents' room. My mother is in there, getting dressed for their date night. It is a nice gesture. I put my feet on the small coffee table and groan when my legs cramp. I am starting to doubt that I will be able to make it through a whole night parading around the fair. My dad looks up from his book and lets out a warm laugh. "Are you doing all right over there?" he asks with a smile and I nod. He shakes his head slightly and continues to read his book. "You look not too shabby for date night," I joke and he laughs again, closing the book and placing it on the table next to my feet. "I tried my best. You think your
My father sits on the couch in the living room. He takes a sip from his tea while he reads an ancient book, a strange symbol on the cover. It seems like something a werewolf book would have. Does Kate's father know something about the werewolves? Not in the original book, but so much has changed, I cannot be certain. Rushed footsteps can be heard from my parents' room. My mother is in there, getting dressed for their date night. "Well, someone looks quite handsome," I joke when I fall next to my dad. He lets out a warm laugh and puts the book down. "I tried my best. You think your mother will like it?" He stands up and turns to show off his whole outfit. I can't help but laugh as I nod my head. I stretch my legs out in front of me, grunting when they cramp. I am starting to doubt that I will be able to make it through a whole night parading around the fair. "Mum is going to love the new suit." He grins and picks up the book, his eyes scanning for his place. "Where are you going to
I tread carefully along the loose rocks and uneven ground in the woods, the almost full moon serving as the only light source. The rest of the group navigates through the woods with ease. Stupid werewolf sight and strength. Jake appears in my peripheral as he walks next to me, holding the teddy bear. I struggled to keep my balance with that massive thing on my shoulder. Jake took the teddy bear from me, carrying it for me. I kind of feel bad.It was my stupid idea and now it became his problem. We walk behind Tyler and Allison, who leads the group through the woods. Allison can somehow keep up with Tyler and she walks with no problems, like the rest of the group. She is human, like me. How does she keep her balance?"How far until we get back to civilization?" I ask out of breath. My legs are killing me and I think I sprained my ankle somewhere on the way here. Allison giggles while Tyler looks over his shoulder at me. His eyes move to Jake and he raises an eyebrow."Does she always
A cold sensation on my arm wakes me from my sleep. I groan, keeping my eyes closed as I try to figure out where I am. I turn around and adjust the blanket but freeze when I feel something stirring next to me. I take a moment to figure out where I am. The heat from Jake enfolds me and my breath catches in my throat. We both must have fallen asleep during the movie, but I don't know how we ended up like this. My hand rests against his chest and my head rests on his shoulder. How did we end up like this? I bury my face in the crook of his neck. A soft snore escapes his mouth and I smile slightly. I shift closer to Jake. I could stay like this for quite a while. The coldness touches my arm again and I turn my head as slowly as possible away from Jake's warmth. Who is that? I blink as I try to get used to the darkness. "Kate, wake up." I recognize the voice. "Allison?" I whisper. What the hell does she want? "Come, I want to show you something," she whispers and walks to the door. I
