Harley’s POV…

I didn’t want to rush into things with her; I wanted to take things slow, I didn’t want to mess things up, because recently that’s all I seem to be good at. I didn’t just like her because she was what I was but she understood me and I think I understood her too. Now that doesn’t sound like me at all, but it’s, yeah I’ve only known her a few weeks but, I like her and she’s really going to need my help pretty soon!

After the kiss I felt different, calmer even, being a werewolf did come with its problems. I never really felt calm, always feeling wound up and aggressive, sometimes it’s so hard to control, that’s why I need to be calm around Evie, that’s how I usually scare people off, turning into someone I hate being.

After we got out the movies, I don’t what but I suddenly got this buzz of happiness, which I had never felt with anyone before, so I decided too entwine my fingers into hers, holding hands wasn’t really my thing, but this time it felt right…

“I’m having a lovely evening so far” Evie said showing off her cute little smile whilst her beautiful eyes looked up into mine, yeah this feeling had me saying gooey words like that…

“My pleasure, I’ve really enjoyed it”

We got something to eat and then walked back to the car. It was getting pretty late, plus she had school tomorrow, so I didn’t want to delay her if she had any ‘homework’ to do, so glad I’d left!

We arrived at Eve’s around about 9, so I decided to walk her up the drive as it was quite dark, didn’t know what was lurking around the woods in this place, I mean if werewolves were possible, why couldn’t anything else be too?

“I’ve had a really nice time tonight Harley, thank you” she said reaching over to kiss me on the cheek and as she pulled away I grabbed her shoulders to twist her back round so she was facing me… only centimetres away from my lips I whispered…

“Mmm, I was thinking same again Wednesday?” I smirked then i delicately touched my lips against hers, then ending into something much deeper, much more passionate than before. When we pulled away I kept her hands tightly in my grip, a part of me didn’t want to let her go, but I knew I had too, so I loosened my grip and whispered goodnight into the bitter cold air.

Dear diary,

I’m happy…

It was dawning Christmas, so that meant one week left of school until we had 2 weeks off. I hadn’t really put much thought into to Christmas, other than the fact that I hadn’t gotten one single present yet and it was only a week away, I’d probably have to go a few days this week if I was to get at least half decent presents!

School was definitely an improvement from my last, I seemed to fit in more and not so many guys tried to hit on me anymore, expect a few, for example Jamie johns, YUCK.

Kasey was actually probably my closest new friend, he was really sweet and we had a good laugh and one thing I really liked was he didn’t make it obvious he wanted to hit on me!

On the way to school I put my ear phones in and listened to ‘skinny love’ by Bon Iver on repeat. It was such a beautiful song and it seemed to relax me a lot, especially before school anyway, it’s not that school was stressful, it’s just lately I felt like I got really wound up easily, probably all these wolf hormones!

School went pretty fast and I was glad because all I could think about was Harley and when I was at school that wasn’t exactly the right distraction because I couldn’t focus on anything else. But in a way it was good because it definitely got my mind off that Noah guy, but when I got home I had a sudden urge to see him again.

My cell phone was in my hand, getting ready to text this number that the mysterious guy gave me. I don’t even know what was running through my mind at that point. I had a perfect evening with Harley  and I mean I’m sure we’re on the road to something more than just friends, but I wanted to see Noah again, purely because I had never seen anyone like that in my life, not saying I wanted a relationship with him, but friends couldn’t hurt right?

It was going to drive me crazy, I had to, I mean it was going to happen sooner or later, so why not sooner. I sat there for a while thinking of what to put in the text and after 15 minutes of careful consideration I decided on;

Hey, it’s Evie, the girl you bumped into the other day? Haha

You gave me your number, so I thought I’d be polite and text J

It wasn’t the best thing I’d ever come up with but I didn’t want to get obsessed with the whole situation, it wasn’t healthy. It had passed an hour, so at this point I wasn’t really expecting to get a reply, it was worth I try but it’s probably better, so then I can carry on dedicating all my distraction onto Harley!

I spoke to soon, my phone started vibrating and I had a reply from Noah. I don’t know why but my heart was actually beating quite fast, and I was kinda nervous to see what it said, after a few minutes of convincing myself it was going to be nothing bad I clicked onto the text…

Hey, I was beginning to think you had lost my number or something!

Anyway cutting to the chase, I gave you my number because I’ve never seen anyone quite like you before, and when I bumped into you I felt something quite strange, which left me wanting to know more! Yeah that probably sounds completely crazy, sorry if I come across as some sort to freak! I know I’ve only met you once but I’d like to see you again? Noah.

Wow.
