Turning 16 (Zane Ro'Meave)

Bad Choice

Zane taps his phone screen, turning off his alarm.

First day back at school after winter break.
And his parents still aren't home.

Zane pushes himself out of his bed and walks over to his closet, grabbing his school uniform.

He puts it on them walks over to the bathroom.

"I'm so fucken hungry,,,"

Zane spoke softly and quietly to himself as he grabbed his eyeliner.

Zane does his makeup and fixes his hair.

Zane is somehow even more pale than he was before and the bags under his eyes are even worse.

Zane walks back to his room and grabs his phone, seeing a notification from Gene

Gene 6:03 am
Go to the side of the school where everyone smokes and shit when you get hereZane didn't respond or react, he would just meet Gene there.

Zane puts on his shoes and mask and he grabs his phone, wallet, and earbuds.

He goes downstairs and sees Garroth and Vylad talking to each other

"Baby brother! Come on, I promised my gym teacher I would be at school early today."

Zane nodded, grabbing his backpack and walking outside to Garroth's car.

Once they got to school Zane got out of Garroth's car and walked over to where Gene told him to.

He waited so long that he was about to leave when he heard a familiar voice

"Hey nerd"

Zane looked up and saw Balto walking towards him.

"What do you want, Balto? Where are your dumb werewolf buddies?"

Zane looked behind Balto, seeing no one behind him. Balto was here alone.

"Aww, can I not just say hi Zuzu?"

"How did you know that name?"

Zane quickly snapped at Balto, his voice was confused. Did Gene send him here just to get jumped by Balto or something? And how did Balto know the pet name his mother gave him?

"I have my ways, Zuzu. Don't get so worked up over it."

Balto chuckled as he walked closer to Zane.

Before Zane could say anything Balto picked him up by the collar of his shirt, it being a lot easier than normal due to how much weight Zane has lost over the past few months.

Balto slammed Zane back into the brick wall behind him before dropping Zane to the ground.

Zane felt a now familiar feeling of pain in his eye.

Zane stood up and shoved Balto lightly, or he thought he shoved him lightly.

Balto ended up going flying back a few feet, landing on his ass on the sidewalk.

Zane shook his head, making his hair cover both his eyes as he saw Balto get up and run over to him.

Balto tried to punch Zane, but Zane managed to crouch before Balto's fist hit his face. Balto ended up punching the brick wall behind Zane instead.

Balto quickly pulled his now bleeding hand back, looking at the damage the wall had done to it

"You little shit. What the fuck happened to you, why are you so fucking strong suddenly?"
