~Jessica POV~
I'm here, all alone. The cops took my parents and Social Services came to take me. My mother promised she would come back for me. I waited for years after years after years but, she never came. My father never cared about me; he was abusing me in many different ways. I was soon diagnosed with depression and an anger disorder. I'm not normal though When people say my eyes change colors something bad always happened and I never understood why. People always got injured or put in the hospital. Even, died in some cases. Whoever was alive after that somehow became a werewolf. I have a new family but, there never really home. They're always working.
"Hey, turd get up! It's time for school!" my brother Zane said. Well, he isn't exactly my brother. I'm adopted.
"Give me like five more minutes," I groaned. Then, I felt a sudden weight on top of me. "Fine, I'm up now, get off of me before I die!" I exclaimed.
Zane gets off of me and leaves my room laughing. I put on my black skull shirt, black ripped jeans, black leather jacket, and my vans. I decided to do my makeup today since I have about half an hour to get ready before I have to leave. Then I walk downstairs to the amazing smell of bacon.
"I thought you went back to sleep," Zane says without turning around.
"Ehh, I figured I should get up," I said
I take a seat at the counter of the kitchen when he gives me my breakfast. it's his turn to cook since I did last week. I like his cooking better anyways. We both finish and head off to school.
~Gene POV~
I'm about to head out of my house when I notice Jessica and Zane walking to school. She's wearing the shirt I gave her and might I say, she looks great. It's been awhile since I had seen her,
"Dante I'm heading out see ya later!" I walk out the door when Dante, says something but I didn't hear him.
"Jessica, Zane wait up!" I exclaimed.
"What's up Gene," Jessica says. She gazed at me with those deep blue eyes, they sparkle even when there is no light, they shimmer more than the ocean.
"I was wondering if I could walk with you guys?" Zane nods his head yes and so did Jessica. We start walking to the school and it was awkward because no one was talking.
I tried to end the awkward silence and say, "So Jessica what's your schedule like?"
Jessica dug into her bag and pulled out her schedule.
"First I have homeroom in room 103, Calculus, Drama and then, Werewolf 101 because I was chosen as alpha last year. Then I have lunch, English III, and teachers aid."
I look over at her realizing I have all of those classes with her. This is going to be the best year ever.
"I have all those classes too!" I exclaimed.
Jessica's face lit up brighter than ever. " Yes that's awesome!" she says. "This year is going to be great!" I responded.We finally make it to the school. Zane leaves us for this group of kids while Jessica and I talk for a little bit. Then the bell rings so we walk together to homeroom. Then I see Brittany.
~Jessica POV~
"Oh no," Gene says.
I look into the direction he's looking at and I see Brittany. I hate her so much.
"Oh my gosh Gene is that you!" she runs over to him but he stops her when she gets close.
"For the last time I don't like you," he says firmly.
