*After Aph's Graduation*

"Aphmau, as much as I would love to stay and keep eating pizza with you, Katelyn, and Luka, I told Dottie I would be at her graduation party," I said, as I stood up by Aph's doorway.

"It's fine! I told you!" Aph said.

"Okay, don't eat too much pizza," I said.

I left the room and went downstairs.

"Bye Mom, I'm going to Dottie's graduation party," I said.

"Okay, have fun! Are you getting a ride? I need to use the car later," Mom said.

"Yeah, Blaze is going to pick me up, as well as a few others," I said.

"Blaze? Is this Blaze a boy?" Mom asked.

"What do you think, of course he is," I said.

"He BETTER not get any ideas," Mom said.

"Mom, I've known Blaze for years now, plus... He's a werewolf," I said smirking.

"Oh, well then, You go ahead and have fun then Mija," Mom said.

I grabbed a snack and then went outside to wait. I figured out Mom's fondness for werewolves a while ago and have used it as an advantage to be able to go out with friends, specifically boys. Especially since most of my friends were werewolves.

After around two minutes, Blaze drove up to our house. I walked up to his car and got in. June, Rylan, and Daniel were all also in the car.

"Hey Calistiya! Are you excited for the party?" Blaze asked.

"Is that even a question?" I asked, smirking.

"I'm excited, even though I can't move up with you guys," Daniel said.

"You're stuck with me and June!" I said.

"That isn't too bad," Daniel said, smiling.

"I wish I could go to college with you guys this next year," June said.

"Me too," Rylan said under his breath.

"What was that Rylan?" June asked.

"Nothing!" Rylan exclaimed, flushing.

I smirked. I still couldn't believe Rylan hadn't told June he liked her yet. It's been a few years. I think that if he would do it at any time, the party would be the best time, but we'll see.

Blaze drove us to Dottie's house. I got out first and ran to Dottie's door. I knocked on it until she opened it. I was knocking for like 30 seconds.

"CAL!" Dottie exclaimed, excitedly.

"DOT!" I exclaimed.

We hugged each other and then she invited us in.

"My parents are going to be out all day so we get the house to ourselves," Dottie explained.

Maria arrived soon after we did.

"I'll actually be able to challenge the alpha this year!" Maria exclaimed.

"I'll never give up my throne!" I said, throwing a pillow at Maria. 

It hit her square in the face and we all started laughing, except Maria. She smirked and threw the pillow back at me. It hit me while I was laughing and I fell backwards onto my back.

"Oh, it's on!" I said, grinning.

I threw the pillow back towards Maria and she dodged. Instead, it hit June.
