Manipulation

Ch 38 Glass Web

Unfortunately i still had to do what they note asked today. Which sucked. I had no indication that i wasn't allowed to not do it or get off of it. So after leaving Lucas- much to my reluctance- i wondered around thinking. Then i came across the parking lot and paused. The teachers cars were all parked, some more expensive then others, all lined in neat lines.

An idea started forming in my head and i pushed it away, continuing to walk only to pause. This was the best thing i had found so far. When i have my free period I promise and start towards the cafeteria. Bianca and Eric were already there, sitting on the same table in uncomfortable silence. I sat down next to Bianca, dropping the tray onto the table and greeted them seconds before shoving food into my mouth, hoping to avoid one conversation completely. But that seemed to much to ask today.

"Hay Kat...I heard about what happened....i'm sorry" Bianca says awkwardly.

"Don't worry about it" I say dismissively, shoving more food into my mouth hoping she dropped it quickly. I didn't want to here everyone's sympathy. Wasn't it bad enough to not be able to change already without having people reminding me?

"What? what am i missing?" Eric asked frown at us.

Great. "Did you see the event yesterday that i was the star of?" I ask already knowing the answer. I had seen him in the crowd at one point, watching me. "Well apparently the wolf in me decided that was the perfect time to change but i couldn't complete it. In more painful words, i can't change. If i try i could kill myself" i say curtly, trying to remind myself it's not his fault. I glanced at him then from under my lashes, realizing that was rude, there was no need to be so mean. "Sorry, i just don't want to talk about it"

Eric nodded. "It's fine. I shouldn't have asked" he says calmly.

Emily chose that wonderful moment to sit down, leaving a seat for Angel next to Eric. She waved to everyone at the table will stuffing her mouth with pancakes. She glanced at me, a twinkle in her eyes and grinned. challenging me. I frown at her and her eyes flickered to her plate then to me, then down to my plate. Then she shoved more food into her mouth.

Oh, no you don't! I shoveled food into my mouth and our breakfast became a food eating contest. Well, between me and Emily anyways. The other two just watched us like we were crazy. Then they glanced at each, at the same time, just like in movies then looked back to us looking horrified as we at quickly, caring little about how we looked to everyone else as we ate, trying to make the other laugh. "There like animals!" Bianca comments staring at us widely.

"Well they are wolves" Eric says breathlessly, like he was the one eating so quick he could barley breath.

"I Win!" I say loudly the second i finish.

"Nah!" Emily says loudly, her plate clean. "I fished first!"

"I did!"

"Do i want to know?" Angel asks slipping into the seat next to Eric.

"I won!" I announce to her and Emily leans across the table to slam her hand over my mouth.

"No, i won!" she says to them, still leaning across the table.

For the rest of the breakfast we squabbled playfully, arguing about who one, trying to drag Eric and Bianca in our favor to fail as they refused to take a side. Then the bell went and everyone shuffled away. I was on my way to Wolf-studies, hoping we had a theory class when my teach stopped me, telling me it was a physical class. So i decided that was the perfect time to do my little task. Once i was in the parking lot i snunk between cars carefully, cause one of the teachers -Miss Endorthe- was grabbing some things out of her car.

I waited as she grabbed her things then walked away frown the silver BMW, her sharp eyes scanning the lot quickly as she hurried away with a cup of coffee. After she was out of sight i stood up going over to the car and looked in.

Miss Endorthe was as good as any car, i had heard a lot of people complain about her, heard her yell some times at other student in her class room which was down the hall. I didn't have a class with her, taking the suspicion off me.

The keys were in the ignition. Idiot. But i tried the door to find it locked. So i guess she had the spare key, keeping in with her. I looked around, double cheeking my surroundings before picking up a thick stick and returning to the car. If you get found out- I cut my thoughts off. I was going to get in trouble, i knew that.

I took a deep breath before smashing the stick against the glass, a creak forming on the slightly tinted class, making a beautiful wed, as complicated as sky was blue. The pale silver light from the moon made the cracks glisten in the light, having the effect of water on a web. It was really pretty, despite it was just glass's. And i swung the stick again, flinching at the shatter which sung though the night, glass spraying the inside of the car and hitting the concrete at my feet softly. Well my creepy stalker, you got your wish, your gonna get your entertainment.
