Adopted by The Pack

Chapter 21

I wake up, and begin to start getting ready for school. Pulling on a pair of jeans and my fire hoodie on top of what I slept in, I start looking for a pair of shoes. Finally finding a pair that looks good with what I'm wearing, I slip them on. Heading downstairs, I ask about how I'm headed to school.

"You're riding with me." Preston says.

"Just curious, can I ride with one of y'all tomorrow since it will be my birthday?" I ask them.

"Sure. Does it matter who, or do you care?" Preston asks me.

"I don't care." I say, and then walk out to get some breakfast from the kitchen. After finishing that, we head on out to the car.

"So Preston, I was wondering if I could maybe have another piece of your merch? Like the ones where it's not super flashy, but it just has Preston written somewhere on it." I say. He nods, knowing what I'm talking about.

"I'll see if I can find some adult smalls later. Anything else you might want that is from prestonstylez.com?" A/n shameless plug. He ask me. I think about it, and finally think of something.

"What about the pencils?" I say. He says he has plenty of those at the office and that he can just grab some for me.  

Arriving at school, I walk out to find Raven and Cheryl chatting.

"Hey guys! How are y'all today?" I say, walking up to them.

"Pretty good, how about yourself?" Cheryl says.

"I'm good, especially since I'll be old enough to get my permit tomorrow." I say, giving them a hint.

"Wait, your birthday is tomorrow?!?!" Raven asks me. I nod as she continues to look frustrated. "Why did you never tell us?" She finally asks.

"I guess it just slipped my mind. Besides, I've had other things to think about." I said. They just looked at me. "Really? Do y'all not believe me?" Before they answered, the bell rang for us to go to class.

Finally lunchtime came around. Sitting down after getting my food, I wait for Raven and Cheryl to get their food. Suddenly, someone sits down next to me.

"I noticed you didn't take the bus today." I heard Liam say. Wait, Liam is a cool kid. Why is he sitting with us? I thought.

"My dad decided to take me today. Why?" I asked, thinking it felt weird to say dad instead of Preston. "Oh, and I'm not taking it tomorrow either. Just so you know." Right after saying that, Cheryl and Raven finally get there with their trays. We all chat for a while, some more awkward than others, and lunch is finally over.

After school, I got home with Brianna and I did my homework in about an hour. I mean really, why is it so easy? I had nothing to really do, so I grabbed a bit of paper and my pencil and began to draw myself as a fox.

An hour and a half later, I had it almost perfect. All it needed was a bit of color. Walking out of my room, I realized how hungry I was.

"Hey Brianna! Is there anything o can have to eat?" I asked her. "Oh yeah, and do you have any colored pencils?"

"If you look in the fridge there should be some hot dogs, and then while you're eating I'll go find you some. Why do you need the colored pencils anyway?" She said.

"Oh, Just for something I'm drawing. Thanks!" I say, walking to the fridge.

After eating the hotdogs, Brianna returns with an almost unused box of colored pencils.

"Thank you!!" I say as she hands them to me. I go back up to my room and start to give the fox color. Once I finished it and was pleased with the final result, I went to bed.
