"Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Wells." Eddie smiled as she entered the house of her best friend. "Good morning, Eddie." Mr. Wells smiled at the brunette from the dinner table. "What are you reading?" she asked, standing behind him and looking over his shoulder.

"Today's newspaper. Nothing special happening." he sighed, showing her the headline of today. "May I?" she asked before the adult handed her the newspaper. "Oh, I didn't know you were giving a speech today, Mrs. Wells." she said as she read a small part of the newspaper.

"It's just a small speech about how werewolves, zombies and humans are adjusting to one another." she smiled. "How are you adjusting to your new lifestyle?" Mr. Wells asked the girl. "Very good, and I'm extremely happy for it, but my dad isn't." she sighed. "Your dad is a hard man to please, Eddie." Mr. Wells sighed.

"How's your business going?" Mrs. Wells asked the girl as she sat down by the dinner table with two plates, then telling her daughter's best friend to sit down with them. "Thank you." Eddie smiled as she took a bite of the bacon. "It's doing okay. The only thing I'm getting money of is the football and cheerleader uniforms for school, and it's not everyday those are needed." she sighed.

"That's not good. But if it makes you feel better, there's an event coming for my colleagues at work and I told everyone that you could make them new outfits to wear. I think you'll get a lot of new costumers soon." Mr. Wells smiled. Eddie smiled at him before Addison came walking down the stairs.

"Good morning, sweetie." Mrs. Wells smiled at her daughter. "Morning. Morning, Eddie." The blonde smiled at her best friend. "Morning, sleepy head." Eddie smiled as the girl sat down next to her. "Anything exciting happening at school today?" Mrs. Welles asked. "Not that I can think of." Eddie shrugged.

"We get our science partners today." Addison said. "Dang, that's today?" Eddie asked, getting a nod in return. "Looks like you two need to get to school if you don't want to be late." Mr. Wells said, pointing at the clock on the wall. The two teenagers grabbed their backpacks before they bid goodbye and left for school.

"Good morning." Zed smiled as he and Eliza came over to the two girls standing by their lockers. "Morning." Eddie smiled back. "Good morning." Addison smiled before giving her boyfriend a kiss. "Good morning." A female voice said from behind the brunette. She turned around and was met with the smiling faces of Wyatt, Willa and Wynter.

"Morning." she smiled back at them before she placed her backpack inside her locker and took out the books she needed for their first class. "You have my gummy bears?" she then asked the male wolf, who smiled innocently back.

Eddie smiled and rolled her eyes playfully before turning back to the others. "You're still on that?" Zed asked. "Yeah, they were my gummy bears and he stole them." she explained. "I'll buy you new ones soon, Ed." Wyatt said, resting his chin on top of her head.

"You've said that for the past year, Wy." She reminded him before he huffed and stepped away. The male wolf opened is mouth and was about to say something to her, but was stopped as the bell rang, calling them all to class.

"Ms. Hart." The teacher called as the students started packing their bags and leaving the classroom. Eddie looked at the older man as he called her name. "A word?" He asked, sitting down by his desk.

"Wait for me." Eddie whispered to the male wolf next to her, who nodded in response before leaving the classroom. "Did I do something?" The young wolf asked her teacher as she made her way towards his desk.

"It's more like what you didn't do." He said. "The project on family." Eddie sighed. "You told me you'd finish it, but it's been three months." The teacher said.

"I'm sorry, sir. I was too busy with other homework." The brunette said in her defense. "That doesn't matter. If that project isn't on my desk at the end of the lesson on Friday, I have to fail you." The older man said, standing up and placing his bag over his shoulder.

"Wait, seriously." Eddie asked as she followed after him out of the classroom. "I'm sorry. I wish I could give you more time, but I can't." He said. "You have by the end of Friday's lesson." He finished before walking off.

"What was that about?" Wyatt asked from next to her. "I have a project I haven't done but has to be done until the end of Friday." She answered. "Which project." He asked.

Eddie turned to look at him before answering again. "The one about family." She sighed. "Wait you haven't done that yet?" he asked surprised. "I had too much other homework, remember?" Eddie reminded her werewolf friend. "Right, now I remember. Well, if you want to, I can help with it." Wyatt smiled. "That's kind of you, but it's supposed to be about my family." the short girl sighed before the two made their way to their next class.

"Is there something bothering you, Eddie?" Addison asked her best friend after noticing that she was drawing random doodles in her journal. "Just Mr. Montgomery." she mumbled before closing the book and laying her head on the table. "What happened?" the blonde asked her best friend as the rest of their friends sat down around the lunch table. "He's just his usual." she mumbled. Addison understood that she didn't want the topic mentioned in front of their friends, so she decided to leave it.

"What are everyone's plans for today?" Addison asked as she started eating from her food. "I have practice." Zed answered, eating his own lunch. "Same." Wynter answered, doing the same. "Where's your lunch, Eddie?" Eliza asked after noticing that the wolf had no food in front of her. "Forgot to make." she sighed. Willa, who was sitting next to her, handed her the other half of her sandwich. Eddie smiled gratefully at her before she started eating.

"Oh! Who's your new lab partners?" Addison asked in excitement. "I haven't had science yet." answered Eliza, Bonzo saying the same. "I got Lacey." Bree told, clearly unhappy. "I got Wynter." Willa smiled, giving her new partner a smile. "What about you two?" Addison asked, looking at Wyatt and Eddie. Neither of them stopped eating and just pointed at each other before taking down their hands.

"I got Zed." Addison smiled to her boyfriend, who winked at her. Eddie couldn't help but smile at the couple before the group was interrupted. "Hey, Eddie? I ripped my favorite sweater yesterday. Would you mind fixing it?" Cindy asked the wolf. "I'll pay you." she quickly said as Eddie grabbed the sweater and examined the hole. "You don't have to pay me for this it's fine." Eddie smiled at the girl before she thanked her and walked away.

"You're doing favors for free now?" Zed asked surprised. "No. It's just that this doesn't even take 10 minutes to fix so I see no reason to pay for it." she answered, her mouth full of food. "Don't speak with food in your mouth." Addison said jokingly but disgusted. Eddie chewed with her mouth open while placing her face as close do Addison's as she could before everyone started laughing.

"I hate you." Addison laughed. "I know." Eddie smiled back.
