Chapter 17

Once I reached home, I was greeted by a lot of questions, and weird looks, partly because I'm in a guy's shirt, and jeans, and also because I'm rushing around like a mad person on the loose. Which I probably am starting to think I'm one these days. Hm... I rushed upstairs to my room, and easily got out of the big shirt, and shrugged out of the jeans with ease, because it was too loose. 

     I walked to my closet, and flung the door open, revealing sets of clothes waiting to be worn. I sighed, picking a violet tank top, which had, 'I'm Awesome, And You Know It' printed out in big, bold letters. I shimmied my way up a pair of skinny jeans. 

     Just then, my mom walked in casually, and sat down on my bed. "What are you doing, honey?" She asked. 

     I gave her a blank stare. Was she alright? Apparently, she really didn't know what was happening. "I'm late for school, and obviously, I'm rushing right now," I said, and my mother laughed. 

     Trust her to do something like this. I rolled my eyes. 

     And then my dad leisurely strolled inside as well. "Don't you know anything about privacy?" I hissed, and combed through the slight tangles in my hair. "What? You're not naked... Unless you and your mom have a thing going on..." He trailed off, looking suspiciously between my mom and me. She just laughed, and he snickered, giving me a playful look. 

     "Jeez, dad, you sound just like a pedophile," I muttered under my breath. 

     He just chuckled. "But I'm not," he stated, and looked at me once again. "Why are you getting dressed?" He asked, furrowing his brows in confusion. "I'm late for school! Oh my gosh, can't you see it's already 8?" I rolled my eyes, and slung my schoolbag over my shoulder. 

     "Oh relax, Adeline. You have no school today. I called in the Headmaster and told him that all of the werewolves aren't going to go to school today. And neither is he going to play the role of Headmaster today as well. Actually, all shifters who go to your school will not be attending classes today. Including Chris. So I don't see the rush," he explained, and I sank into the bed. 

     "Well, you could've said that earlier!" I retorted, dropping my bag on the ground. 

     "Well, we tried to call you last night! But someone decided not to answer," my mom rolled her eyes. "Well, sorry for not answering. There is such a thing called 'sleep', you know," I huffed, and my dad picked up Chris's clothes, which were splayed out on the floor now. 

     My mom raised a perfectly defnied eyebrow, and my dad smirked at me. "Looks like someone had a wonderful night yesterday, no?" My father said, waggling his brows suggestively. "Oh, gross, dad! We both know that I haven't slept - " I got interrupted by Maria and Josh banging on my room door. 

     "Open up! The cops are here! We're here to tell you that you're under arrest!" Maria's voice echoed through the room. I laughed, and opened the door. She stepped back, and Josh's arm was snaked around her hip. 

     "Hello you two lovebirds," I chirped, and my dad and mom stepped out of the room. 

     "Hello to you too, and where have you been?" Maria demanded, putting her hands on her hips, worry shown in her eyes.
