One Night || e.d.

Chapter 1: Wolf Moon

Ethan's POV

"Grayson slow down. I need to catch my breath. We just ate."

"Did you forget about all the dangerous things out here? Hurry up before we die." he continued.

I shook my head. It was late, the weather cooled down a little so we decided to go for a jog on the trail by the house. Well... Grayson decided we should go for a jog. I wanted to stay home. Football practice got me drained.

"Grayson? If you're out there... I'm not playing. Bro. I'm not joking." I heard the leaves crunch. "Grayson. I swear, I'm not playing."

Something jumped out at me, suddenly I felt pain in my waist. I looked down and I was bleeding. I got up and limped home. I barged into the bathroom and saw Grayson.

"Bro, where'd y–" he looked at me.

"You can't tell anyone. Not Cam, not mom, not dad."

"But what if–"

"Grayson. Swear you won't tell."

"What if you die from this? They'll never know why."

"If something worsens, I'll tell them. But for now, we need to keep this between us." He nodded.

I cleaned out my wound and prayed nothing worse happens. Hoping that this is something small and it was just a crazy animal and nothing more.

Mia's POV

"Mom, we've moved like five times already. When's it gonna stop? I just wanna be stable."

"Your father's job is the reason why we move. But it's not his choice."

"I mean... it kind of is. Can't he just refuse to move or something?"

"I don't think it works that way." she stroked my hair, "Get some rest. Your first day of school is tomorrow."

"Again..." I sighed.

"Mia, I'm pretty sure this is our last move."

"You said that last time."

"Good night." she shut my door.

Ethan's POV

We got to school and it was a little tense. I walked to English with Grayson and our friend Alex.

"I heard there's a new girl coming to this class." Grayson said. "I think all the way from Washington."

I saw her walk in. She had long brown hair. She wore a maroon v-neck with skinny jeans. Looked about 5'4ish.

"Class, meet Mia Vanderwaal. Why don't you go take a seat behind Mr. Dolan right there."

Shit. She pointed to the desk behind me. She walked over and took her seat. I decided to be bold and introduce myself.

I turned around, "I'm Ethan."

"Mia, but considering our teacher just told the whole class, you already know that." she smiled.

Mia's POV

This Ethan kid. He's nice. He introduced me to his twin brother, Grayson. Who's just as chill as he is.

The period went by and I got out of class. "You should come hang with us at lunch." Grayson said.

"Sure. I'll see you guys later." I walked to my locker.

"So where'd you move here from?" a girl with deep dimples and glasses followed me.

"Washington."
