Werewolf Meets Huntress

Chapter 2. High School Bites

Lucas pulled his bike into Beacon Hills High School, feeling giddy. He rummaged through his athletic bag making sure he had all his equipment needed for lacrosse tryouts.

A heavy body bumped into him and he looked up to see blue-green eyes and floppy hair. Charlie Gardner. Lucas sighed inwardly.

Can't I catch a break? He thought.

"Watch where you're going, Friar," Charlie said roughly pushing past him to join his friends Brandon "Rebel" Johnson and Billy Ross.

"I wasn't even in your way," Lucas grumbled.

"Meathead already giving you a bad time?" Farkle said coming towards him an impish grin on his face. "Now what is it you wanted to show me?

Lucas pulled up his t-shirt to show him his patched up bite mark. A bit of blood was seeping through the white gauze.

"Ye-ouch," Farkle gagged, his nose crinkled. "That's disgusting and painful. What do you think it was? A random angry pooch?"

"This was no local feisty chihuahua, " Lucas paused for ominous effect. "I think it was a wolf."

Lucas stared at Farkle gravely. The serious look on Lucas' face broke into confusion as Farkle exploded in laughter. His eyes lighting up as he wiped away a fake tear. Lucas gave him a push and glared at him.

"I'm serious," Lucas snapped and turned to walk towards the school's entrance.

"Oh, I know that's the beauty of it," Farkle gasped catching up to him. "That's basically impossible. California hasn't had wolves in a long time, buddy." He clapped Lucas on the shoulder.

"So what are you suggesting?" Lucas asked shrugging his hand off. "Werewolf?" He joked.

Farkle shrugged, his eyes bright with amusement. "Could be."

"You need to stop watching those movies," Lucas pointed out. "I think it's affecting your brain."

"My noggin is in excellent form," Farkle laughed knocking on the side of his head. "Speaking of excellent form. Helllooo Maya Hart."

Maya Hart made her way towards the entrance stairs. Her long wavy blonde hair billowing in the wind and her crystal blue eyes gave one dramatic roll at Farkle's words.

"Don't talk to me," She said briskly before running up to her boyfriend Charlie Gardner.

"I blame you,"Farkle groaned as they entered the school.

"Me? What did I do?"

"You're a nerd. I'm a nerd by association. It's not hard to grasp."

"Whatever man," Lucas said giving Farkle a playful push.

They made their way to English. Lucas sat in his seat twirling his pencil when he heard an abrupt, obnoxiously loud ringing startled him. He scanned the room frantically trying to pinpoint the ringing. He finally found it.

He stared outside the window dumbfounded that he can hear the ringing from inside.

What kind of ringtone is that loud? He thought.

He saw a tall, slender brunette biting her lip nervously as she looked up at a tall, strong-shouldered boy with a beanie and leather jacket.

"Mom keeps calling me? You go on without me," said the pretty brunette. "I'll catch up and see you at lunch, Josh."

The boy nodded and walked away. The girl grabbed her phone and answered it.

"Yes mom Josh brought me here safely," the girl giggled. "No, I haven't seen dad yet." She quickly started searching through her bag. "Dang...no I forgot my pencil case. Hey, I need to go I see the administrator. Love you."
