Halle
I wake with a groan. A new start. I get a new start today. This is what I've been waiting for my whole entire life so why do I feel dread at the pit of my stomach.
"Halle get up, we start school in two hours!"
Crap. How could I forget? I thought to myself.
Forget what? My wolf, Jasmine said.
Today is our birthday! I think excitedly.
Huh, it is August 14th isn't it. We turn 17 today. We may meet our mate. Jasmine said excitedly.
I break the connection quickly so that I could get dressed. I dress quickly in black ripped skinny jeans, a white t-shirt that says "Don't Keep Calm, Slap That Trick!", a black snap-back and black Converse.
I look in the mirror for a minute. My hair has gotten a bit too long. I held up a black lock and looked for split-ends.
"Halle Marisa Estrella Arellano Gonzalez! Get down here now!" My oldest brother thundered.
"Crap! What did I do now!" I mumbled. I ran down the stairs quickly to meet my brother's angry face quite close to mine.
"Yes dear brother?" I said sweetly.
His face visibly softened and he gave me a small smile.
"You left that mess in the kitchen last night." He stated
"Eric! You know I wasn't even in the kitchen last night. I went for that run at 6:00 remember?"
"Yeah I just wanted you downstairs. Happy Birthday little sis! I got you a surprise."
"Okay! What is it!?!?" I said excitedly.
He put his hands over my eyes and led me walked me...somewhere. I heard the door click, open, and shut. I could tell we were outside because I could smell last night's rain, and feel today's humidity. When he uncovered my eyes, I saw a fiery orange 69' Camaro. Omigoddddd!!!!! It's beautiful!
" Omg Eric! You didn't have to do this! Oh my gosh I love it so much!" I said.
I felt happy tears running down my face.
He gave me a a big, goofy grin, then pushed the key in my hand and towards my car.
"You're late for school, hurry up!" He said as he pushed me even further.
"Alright alright!" I exclaimed.
I opened the door, slid in the car and just sat there, for a couple of minutes. Breathing slowly, in and out.
I feel like my minds overloaded right now, with all my wolf's emotions and mine, and my thinking. I still have that project due tomorrow, that's only half done and then I remember.
Inhale
Exhale
Inhale
Exhale
I repeat until my lungs are starved of air as I inhale air greedily.
Well that escalated quickly. I think to myself.
I put the keys in the ignition then turned, starting the car. I pulled out of the driveway slowly. Here goes my junior year. I drive slowly to my school, Westwood High.
My school is an all-werewolf school. Like literally, it's an outrageously expensive "private" school to humans, and those that apply anyways, we look into their heritage. If there is any werewolf heritage there, than they will be accepted, if not, they won't be accepted into the school.
I walked into the school, people were looking and whispering. Any other day I would've just sucked it up and dealt with it but it's my birthday, and my emotions are already running high.
"What the hell are you dicklickers whispering for?" I exclaimed, annoyed.
I walked to my locker I can just imagine an avalanche of papers and books flying out as I open it. I smile at the mental picture. Lost in my thoughts I run into something hard.
My eyes fly open and I then take in the image of my now ex boyfriend make out with my freaking best friend. I pull him off of her. I spin him around until he faces me and slap him. Hard. I punch hard in his eye, then his jaw.
Right-hook.
Upper-cut.
Repeat.
Just like in training.
I turn around to Carly.
"How could you? You were my best friend! I was there for you! I had your back! I always did, even when you were a total bitch! I can't fucking believe you." I shouted at her. I then slapped her to the floor.
"Ms. Gonzalez, what's going on here?" my teacher, Ms.Goedde asked.
"Nothing ma'am, I'm just making my way to class." I replied politely.
She winked at me and turned and walked off. Ms.Goedde is my aunt.
My mother's sister to be particular.
I turned on my heel, and ran to the front exit.
I ran until I was met with the woods behind the school. I walked aimlessly until I knew I was getting a little close to another pack's territory.
I walked back to the school, and through the front entrance. Nobody paid me any mind as I walked to class. When I made it to my class, I sat down in an empty seat. A familiar sent clouded my mind.
What's that smell-
" Halle I'm so sorry. It was a mistake . Will you please forgive me,"
"No. I don't have to deal with you. You decided to cheat on me while you were my boyfriend." I replied coldly.
" It was a bet anyway. How long would it take the precious goody goody to put out?" he said casually.
I stood abruptly, knocking my chair back. I pushed him back, leaving him on his back and I straddled his waist. I punched him hard in his throat. He coughed and spluttered. I punched him swiftly in his eyes. I punched his nose, hard, over and over again. I spat in his face, spinned on my heel and ran home.
By the time I got home, and in my room, I felt the darkness consuming me. I stopped struggling and relaxed.
Then, there was nothing.
