Help! I'm a werewolf

Chapter eight

The next day, I made sure to set my alarm an hour early to help Blade, Olivia, Emma, and Cassidy and carry the project outside because it was too big to fit inside the classroom

We were carrying our project to the school yard, when I turned to Olivia and asked, "you made sure to figure everything out, right?

"Yeah, of course. There's nothing that I could have left out."

Feeling a bit relieved, it was almost time for our turn to present

"Blade's group, you're up."

"Thanks, Ms.P"

"What a lovely project you have, do you mind explaining what it is and what it's supposed to do? After you reveal it, of course."

"Sure, sure. Well, we were sitting down, wondering what it would mean to design something that presents animals, when we thought of the most genius idea."

"Under this cloth, you'll find the one and only machine that does just that."

Blade uncovers the machine, revealing it in its entirety

"Is that the hadron collider?" someone asked

"Yes! I mean no."

"No, it's not the hadron collider. Look, the hadron collider works with protons, neutrons, electrons, and whatever else is going on in there."

"This, right here, is a machine that can make anyone believe that you can turn into whichever animal you like, but you don't and that's the beauty of it. That's why it's called make-believe."

"You see all those buttons lined up on the walls? Each one has an image of an animal. You step in, painless lasers shoot at your skin, and a hologram of that animal appears on top of the machine."

"Amazing. Zayne, why don't you demonstrate for us?"

"Yeah Zayne, why don't you go in there and demonstrate it?"

"Uuh, oh, well, I"

I was going to protest when I saw everyone looking at me encouragingly.

Olivia smiled at me too, as if she was encouraging me to go in.
