I woke up to screaming kids as usual. Why were kids such morning people? I got changed ready for school and picked up my satchel placing the piece of paper I found on Friday in the bag too. I hadn’t looked at it since Friday I shouldn’t look again it’s a private letter, even if I have already read it

.

I walked down the hall towards the stairs where Luther was. We walked into the kitchen and I grabbed some toast while Luther went and spoke to Susan. When he came back over to me he stole a piece of toast and told me what they were talking about.

“On Friday night we’re both packing to go to shiftigh. We leave on Saturday in the morning.” He stated.

“What’s Shiftigh?” I asked dumbly.

“Shiftigh is like a shifter boarding school slash camp. It looks like a camp because it’s actually lots of log cabins designed for different purposes. It’s a beautiful place there’s a big lake in the middle too. We have to go because we need to learn about ourselves and what we can do as soon as possible so we aren’t a danger to others or ourselves.”

“I guess it would be nice to know stuff without you being cocky and telling me stuff slowly.” Luther grimaced at the thought of having less to tease me with. We both went to school like we used to except this time Luther was in my advanced classes for missing 5 months of his classes. So he was put in the year below in advanced classes to catch up. Not that he cared since we’d be gone after this week.

The day went on with me and Luther going from lesson to lesson bumping into Trish once but having to cut conversation short because we were going to be late.

Lunchtime finally came round and we rushed to the canteen both eager to see certain wolves. Luther got ahead of me in the crowd when I bumped into the strange blonde guy again.

This time we both fell back on the floor landing opposite each other, I felt like I’d collided with electricity. He had dropped the piece of paper he was holding and it mixed in with a pile of things I too had dropped. He didn’t seem to care though as he scrambled to his feet and turned and ran in the opposite direction.

I gathered my things and picked up his piece of paper. It was another letter again to Sophia. Like the last letter it spoke of his love and devotion to her but this time he added on that he had met someone she knew that she was close to a long time ago. The letter was beautiful and sad in a poetic sort of way, the sweet words pulled on my heart strings.

I was halfway through the letter when someone cleared their throat behind me. I looked around and saw Chase. He reached his hand down and pulled me up with ease.

“Well Miss Freddi you and Phoenix seem to be bumping into each other a lot lately.” Phoenix? That must be his name. Well, it was who the other letter was from.

“May I ask what you were reading before I interrupted?” he smiled and I blushed as I realised I had been reading a letter that was probably meant to stay private.
