My Teacher Is A Werewolf... [Part Two]
I've wrote and rewrote this so many different times already that I'm starting to want to give up on it. Every time I get something I like wrote it I reread it later on and it sounds off. I love Lexi and Logan dearly, but gosh its hard to get back into this story. Anywho, I finally got something wrote out that I think is half decent, it might not sound like Lexi used to, but that's only because I'm struggling a little bit with getting her 'voice' right. The longer I work on the new chapters the better it'll get, I hope.
I highly suggest you read this first part of the story first, otherwise you'll likely be lost.
Chapter starts right where the last chap of Part One ended, sort of.
Family Dinner: (Lexi)
“I have to what?” My fork full of food pauses halfway to my mouth, I blink over at my mother in shock, sure I had misunderstood her. Couldn't she let me eat in peace for once? I mean, finally, Logan and Harley had stopped their glaring contest, no one had made a comment to set them off all night and my mother has to bring up school?
She sighs, gingerly putting her glass of ginger ale down before answering me. “I said, you'll be starting school again tomorrow. I've already got your class schedule. You'll keep all the credits you received before all of this happened, but you still have to finish out the year to graduate.” My mother watches me for a moment before frowning, resting her chin in her hand as she props her elbow on the table. “You didn't think you could just not graduate did you?”
“No, I just haven't been thinking about school all that much.” The past two months have been taking up to much of my thought process. Trying to get everything back to semi-normal was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I've just been so focused on forgetting that my father's wife-my mate's ex-almost killed me. School's run through my mind but not that much..
A gentle smile crosses her face, but the resolve is still in her eyes. “I know, and I'm so proud of you for handling this the way you have, but honey, life goes on. I don't want you to not graduate and then regret it later. This will be good for you, you can make new friends.”
To make new friends I would need to have had any in the first place, I think to myself. Not that I would ever tell my mother that, I had no idea how she would react to that. Hell, I don't know how she'll react to anything as my mother. Its been so long since she's been an actual parent that I can't remember how she'd acted before.
“Why tomorrow, though?” Why couldn't I wait until I wasn't pregnant to finish my school year? Teenagers were brutal to me before, I can only imagine how people at this new school will act when they find out I'm engaged to my old teacher and pregnant with his child. Yea, so not something I'm looking forward to.
“Because, you and Logan want to get married before the baby is born, right?” I nod, grinning when Logan mutters out a sarcastic 'duh' under his breath. To say he and my mother didn't see eye to eye would be an understatement. “Well, seeing as how you are still underage you need my consent. I won't give my consent unless you graduate.”
My eyes go wide and I swear my heart sinks a little when I realize she was totally serious. I'd always intended on graduating, I was just hoping it could wait until things calmed down a little more. Why was she coming up with this condition now when she'd already agreed to allow Logan and I to marry? Why change her mind last minute when she knew just how much I wanted this?
