After the girls and I ate some breakfast, it was time for all of us to go to classes. Unfortunately, Cresthaven was not like my old school in the fact that there were no bells to let you know when to go to classes. You just had to keep track of time with your cell phones or watches, which is exactly why we only gave ourselves fifteen minutes before classes began. Celeste, Jane, Claudine, and I had to rush upstairs and get our bags and supplies for our classes. We all decided to bring our gym bags as backpacks because we had training in the morning. The Sisters brought their matching pink gym bags. Claudine had brought a black bag that said 'Yee-Haw' on it and I had a blue bag that had my family and friends names written on it.

We all chuckled at the fact that we were different and we ran downstairs to the second floor to drop off Claudine, since she had history first and the Sisters and I had training.

"Well, I'll see ya'll during lunch," she said with her southern drawl evident. "Except you Memes, I'll see you in Abilities!" With her bright smile on her face, she went into the room and we dashed towards the stairs again, having to go all the way to the basement level for training.

"Ugh, these stairs are already killing my calves!" Celeste complained. "Why do they torture us with training in addition to the stairs?"

"I...was...thinking...the same thing," wheezed Jane.

I laughed at the Sisters as they groaned on about their legs about to give out on them. This was nothing compared to my play fights with Orlando in human form. "Come on, girls, we're gonna be late and I don't want to get on the King's bad side."

"Uh huh, you want to be on his top side," Jane commented and winked at me.

Celeste snickered. "Don't we all?" She said suggestively.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head at them. This is not the time to be thinking about certain activities with the King. "Let's just get this over with."

We quickly went into the locker room and changed into our workout gear. Celeste wore a bright green sports bra that criss crossed in the back and a white tank top over it that said 'Don't Hate Me Cause I'm Bootyful' with galaxy yoga pants. Jane wore the same thing except her gear was pink. Goddess, they really are like twins I swear. I wore a similar but different outfit - a black sports bra with a white tank top that said 'Suck it up, Buttercup' and some normal black yoga pants.

"Girl, why are you so boring with your workout gear?" Jane asked me.

"Yeah, seriously. No guy is going to check out that booty of yours just in plain yoga pants. You gotta give them a little spice to look at," Celeste chuckled and started to put up her hair in a bun.

I sighed and tried to remain calm since my wolf did not like the poking fun. "I'm not here for a guy, I'm here because they chose me to represent my pack and attempt to get into the Kingdom," I rolled my eyes as I put my unruly long hair in a messy bun. "So excuse me for not really caring what I look like when I'm training."

"Ouch, girl. Harsh words," Celeste said with hurt in her voice.

"Yeah, we were just teasing." Jane looked to the ground.

Great, now you hurt their feelings. My wolf spoke in my head.

You aren't helping by being overly sensitive, I told her, though knew she was right. Girls were were definitely different from the guys I hung out with in my pack. I had to learn to speak differently with them.

"Sorry, girls. I'm just tired and I miss my family,"I said, which was very true. And I miss hanging with the guys. "I am definitely not used to this much estrogen at once," I chuckled.
