  LINDSEY DUNBAR 

I groan as I was shaken awake, "Lin! Come look at this," Liam said. "What time is it?" I asked as I sat up on my bed, "It doesn't matter, come on!" he said. "My printer went off by itself and started printing something, I couldn't turn it off until I unplugged it," Liam said. I sigh and get out of bed following him into his room, his floor was covered in papers, Liam grabbed one of them and showed it to me. "Why are you showing me something I've already seen a million times?" I ask, "It's not the same." Liam said. I sighed, as I looked at the list closely.

Liam and I walked through the front doors of the school and into the hallway, I looked over at Liam. He looked a bit scared for some reason, "Liam! Lin!" Mason stopped us. "Hey, am I gonna see you guys at the bonfire tonight?" Mason asked, "Uh, I'm thinking of skipping it," Liam replied. "Same here," I shrug, "You're not skipping it," Mason said. "Why not?" Liam and I ask in unison, "Because, first of all: Liam is on the lacrosse team. Don't you have to go?" Mason asked Liam.

"I don't, uh," Liam stuttered and looked over to the side, "I... I don't think I can make it," he stuttered again. "I don't think I can make it either. Homework and stuff," I replied, Mason, rolled his eyes. "Since when do you do homework? And, you guys are coming and we're going to find you a nice girl that you can embarrass yourself in front of," Mason said, "and we're going to find you a nice guy," Mason said pointing at me. "And also find me, a lacrosse player. Because statistically speaking, someone on your team has got to be on my team. All right?" Mason smiled.

Liam looked like he was afraid of something, he seemed nervous. "Liam?" I called, he instantly looked back at Mason and nodded. "Ok, I'll be there," Liam replied and started walking away, "Uh, is he ok?" Mason asked me. I shrugged, "Nowadays, I don't even know if I'm okay," I shrug.

This is when I spend all of my time reading during this period. I know, such a nerd thing to do. But, I honestly love reading! But, this is also the time where I keep a close eye on Liam. Especially today, since he's been acting a little off. I mean, since last night he's been a little out of it. And I just want to make sure he's alright.

So, I leaned on the wall spreading my legs across the very last step of the stairs. While Liam sat across from me a couple of steps up. He had his lacrosse stick, and I had my book. Then, Scott started coming down the stairs making Liam flinch from the sudden appearance of our alpha. He sat next to him but on a step behind my brother, and he put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, you okay?" Scott asked softly, Liam glanced at him and looked away. I put my book down and look over to my brother, "Hey," Scott said.

Liam sighed, "Last night my printer went off by itself. I couldn't turn it off. I hit the cancel button, but it just kept printing," my brother explained. "Printing what?" Scott asked, Liam took a paper out of his pocket and handed it to Scott. Scott unfolded it and read the paper, "What the hell is this?" we heard Coach from his office. We all looked at each other and walked over to his office, and what happened to Liam last night was happening to Coach as well. Papers were practically covering the floor, Scott picked up one of the papers from off the floor.
