My birthday. A day all about me.

Well it should be.

Unfortunately I share it with Jax.

Every year, the weekend before our birthday (or on if it happens to fall on a weekend day) , our parents pick us up from school and celebrate our birthday with us.

This year was no exception. Unfortunately, since I wasn't at school I couldn't talk to Enid.

Yes. You heard right. The same Enid that gave me the most soul rebuilding kiss of my life.

She didn't come to class Monday. I heard she wasn't feeling well and offered to check on her but Wednesday advised against it.

It's honestly got me thinking I did something wrong.

In my defense, she hasn't reached out.

In her defense...

I didn't either.

"Wake up"
"Max"
"MAX"

"WHAT?" I yell being scared out of my sleep by Ajax.

"Shut up, max" Xavier says getting up to use the bathroom.

"Happy birthday, Birth buddy" Ajax says laying across my bed.

I turn my phone over and check the time.

5:45

"Why in the hell did you wake me up so early." I say throwing my blanket over my head.

Ajax rips it back off.

"Because I want to get hella stoned before class since it's our birthday." Jax says before pulling out a huge blunt.

"It's literally not even six" I argue with him.

"And? You went to bed at like 8 because you're still moping about Enid." He says looking at me seriously.

"I'm not moping" i say grabbing my blanket and once again putting it over my head.

"Yes you are" Jax says taking it off my head.

"Fuck off. You heard what Wednesday said, Enid doesn't want to see me." I say getting up to open my window.

I walk back to my bed and sit down crossing my legs.

I take the blunt from Jax and light it with a lighter I had next to my bed.

"Wednesday didn't say that. Enid was sick yesterday. Something about pre turning syndrome? Apparently the day of a full moon can make a wolf sick." He says taking the blunt back and hitting it.

"That doesn't explain why I was told not to go see her"

"Wednesday probably just knew that Enid would want to talk to you about what happened when she felt better." He says.

I grab the blunt and hit it when Xavier walks out and comes towards my bed.

"Happy birthday, losers" he says and i pass him the blunt.
