Kalia and I walked down the corridor, towards the art rooms we were lucky enough to get art first thing on a Monday morning, with the most laid back teacher in the school, Mr Hardy he was in his twenties with thick chestnut hair and bright green eyes, it helped that my oldest brother went to school with him so he wasn’t really that hard on me if I slacked off which I always done on a Monday morning.

I nodded at him as I entered the classroom, then proceeded to walk over to one of the two large tables that parralled each other in the middle of the room, sitting down in my usual seat I pulled out my art folder and the project I had been working on for the last fortnight, it was a painting of a wolf cliché I know but it looked really good, with a snow white fur and crystal blue eyes the total opposite of my own wolf.

Kalia sat down and threw her head down on the table making it resound wit h a loud thunk, I looked up at her wanting to know what was up but she just shook her head as if to say its fine just leave it I shrugged, got up and went to get paints. Grabbing the green, blue, white, and some other random colours that I thought I could mix to make some effective colours that would stand out in my painting.

I glanced up while walking to my seat, seeing my best friend Nate I yelled out to him “Hey Nate how’s it hanging?”

“Hey Honeybutter” He called back grinning wide at me and laughing., he always made me laugh, putting on all sorts of voices on at random times, such as in science the week before we were watching a video on evolution and he randomly started clapping and swaying from side to side vigorously. He was just a pure legend.

I laughed and continued back to my seat, I dumped all the paint on the table and started dishing it out onto the mixing trays that I had brought with me for this very purpose.

After that I continued painting the landscape behind my wolf, I had decided on the outskirts of a forest at the height of summer so there were going to be flowers scattered around on the ground at the wolves feet.

Before I knew it the class was over and we were ready to go to maths, my worst class I dreaded it every single day and it never got any better.

We made our way up to there and then Kalia, Nate and I split off we all had different teachers, which made this torture all the worse for me.

Since I was first in I positioned myself right at the back where it wouldn’t really be noticed that I wasn’t paying attention, it wasn’t that I done that in every class it’s just I can’t understand anything to do with numbers and it gets worse when I have to do algebra I mean like seriously letters with numbers its impossible.

That class failed epically so I was glad when it was finally over, I just wanted to get out of there as quickly as was humanly possible.

The rest of the day went relatively slow, except for lunch now that was fun Kalia, Nate me and a few others went to McDonalds for it and were sitting playing with the toys we got with our happy meals, with Kalia and I checking out any hot guy who walked past the windows, as Nate was doing the same only with every hot girl that walked past.

After lunch I had music, Kalia had Drama and Nate had French, the only reason he was taking that subject was in his own words ‘To get the ladies to think that he was smart’

Sad I know but you try telling that to him he has sex on the brain and he really doesn’t want to turn 17, because when we turn 17 we are able to find our mate, the one who we will be with forever unless we somehow find a way to reject them. Personally I don’t really want to find my mate either but just for the reason that I don’t believe in love, I don’t know why but I have never believed in it. As a child I never once thought that one day I was going to Fall in love and get married to the man of my dreams.

The only thing I’ve ever imagined me doing that was a bit different was me not being in any pack, just being a lone-wolf going wherever life takes me and doing whatever I want.

It’s just the way I think I guess, my older brother for instance found his mate the moment he turned 17 at the party, his best friend that was a girl turned out to be his mate. They are planning to get married soon, and I have to be the bridesmaid, fun times, not.

Well anyway I went to music and grabbed a guitar then walked over to one of the corners of the room and plopped down onto one of the few beanbags that were in the corner, Miss Noel didn’t like have many things like proper chairs in the room she had told us on our first ever day that she preferred a friendly atmosphere as it was easier to play great music in a comfier and friendlier one than if you were uncomfortable.

I was in music until the end of the day which for me was good as I loved anything to do with rhythm, and beats I don’t know exactly why but the beats just appealed to me. Back in my first year I was in a small band with some of my other friends just for mucking about in. We were okay but we weren’t the best and we didn’t even have a singer, no one was willing to be in the band with us but I guess that because we weren’t popular enough for everyone to like us and accept us, but to be honest I didn’t really care.

To be honest I’m not even popular now I’m just a normal person, the only reason I’m not picked on is because I’m not a nerd, I’m friends with people who are though.

Anyway I was practically bouncing when I got out of school, because the surprise my dad had said I was getting.

Nate offered to drive me home as Kalia was going to her grandmother’s house straight away and was going to be there for a few hours.

I saw Nate outside the school and walked over, “Hey Nathanial” I said knowing he hated his real name and wanting to wind him up.

“Ah good evening miss Talaiana” he smirked at me as he said that, because he knows I hate my name being lengthened, and that was his nickname for me.

“Ha-ha I’m laughing so hard” I replied to him seriously, then just suddenly burst out laughing, he then proceeded to laugh as if he was a dying walrus which was so entertaining.

“Come on then boyo, take me home” I grinned at him and opened his cars door.

I could hear him laughing a little outside of the car before he opened his side and hopped in turning on the radio as he started the car and then started driving.
