Mates with the Enemy

CHAPTER SIX

Sophia's POV:

WOOHOO!!! Today's the day we're checking out the new amusement park!!!! My mind was racing with all the new rides we could go on. I'm totally gonna binge on cotton candy.

I jumped out of bed and headed into the bathroom to freshen up. I pulled on my painting shirt, which was an extra large shirt that had started out white but was now covered in tonnes of different shades of every color in the rainbow. It was my favorite shirt so I practically wore it all the time.
My jewelry consisted of mismatched earrings, one was an emerald stud that matched my eyes and the other was a small pink hoop that matched my bright shoes. I wore a starry bracelet and and a choker necklace that had my zodiac sign as the pendant.
I put on some galaxy themed leggings to match my jewelry and to top off my usually eccentric look, I put on a black leather jacket that I had stolen from Sean a couple years ago but was still very big on me.
Sean didn't mind when I took his clothes because he's always been very overprotective of me and he said that when I wear his things it's like I have a piece of him with me wherever I go. I like taking his clothes because it always had his familiar scent of vanilla and chocolate and because his jacket has a bunch of pockets in it.
Speaking of pockets, I slipped my carving knife in the hidden inside pocket. I took my knife with me everywhere I went, it was a gift from my mother and it meant everything to me. In another pocket I stuffed in a mini paintbrush and a sketching pencil, because one can never know when they will be inspired.
I competed my outfit with a pair of bright pink sneakers and a blue baseball cap with a large star on the front.

J and Elle has no idea that we were going to the amusement park today. Sean and Felix had wanted to surprise them but I had found out because Sean is terrible at hiding things from me.
Since it's Friday, we're going to drive straight from school to a hotel to sleep for the night and then spend the entire day at the amusement park.
Which means, that I am in charge of packing clothes for the girls. Because I'm a lazy person that prefers comfort over fashion, I'm just gonna wear the same outfit but instead of galaxy leggings I'm gonna wear nature themed ones instead. I paired a dark green bracelet that had a silver evergreen charm with a silver necklace that had a leaf pendant as my accessories.
Jia on the other hand, dresses to impress, so I went out to the mall yesterday specifically for an outfit just for her. It consisted of a black shorts that with a long black skirt over it made of lace, and a cropped black t-shirt with white lace accents on it. I packed a black choker and large black hoop earrings along with a silver crown to complete the look. I packed silver heeled boots that would match her crown.
For Michelle I did more of a casual look. It still looked much fancier than my outfit but I didn't really care. I packed dark blue high waisted jeans for her and a white floral shirt. It was an off the shoulder shirt with puffy sleeves and red and orange flowers. For her accessories, I packed a wide brimmed hat that had an orange ribbon on it that matched her shirt, and a gold necklace with a flower pendant. Flower earrings and some flower shaped rings that matched her shirt were very easy to find and I packed bright white shoes for her.

The small suitcase I used to hold all the clothes was stuffed by the time I finished getting enough clothes for them. I included some pajamas for our stay at the hotel and some makeup and fake tattoos for tomorrow.

I'm glad I woke up early this morning because now I had some extra time to head into my art studio. My room was on the top floor of my house and my studio was down in the basement. As I passed by the kitchen I grabbed a granola bar for breakfast and continued going down the stairs.
If I'm being completely honest, the only real exercise I get is because of these stairs. I go to my studio everyday so the three flights of stairs that I'm constantly heading up and down has really toned my thigh muscles.
I always kept my studio locked, because I hated it when people looked at my art without my permission. Looking at my art was like staring straight into my soul, and there was only certain people that I trusted with this sight.
I pulled my secret key that I always kept on my person and unlocked the door. On the right I had my painting easel along with a drawer that had a huge array of different sized paintbrushes and every color and type of paint imaginable. Beside it in the corner, I had all my sketching supplies.
On the North left side I had my pottery things. There was a whole tonne of mud and I had all my tools organized in a small box that I kept on of turning wheel. At the south left side I had a bunch of raw lumber and pieces of wood that I had yet to carve. A bunch of chisels and carving tools lined the walls right above it.
In the middle of my room sat my current masterpiece. It was a life sized, almost finished wood carving of a wolf. To be specific, it was Sean in his wolf form. I had been making it for his birthday which was coming up soon but since I'm not gonna be able to work on it today or tomorrow I'll have to make up for lost time by waking up an hour early every day to finish it in time.
I grabbed a small chisel and started working on the left back paw. So far, I was extremely impressed with my work, I had gotten everything to the very last detail correctly. I had sketched it all out a few times on a piece of paper and made a smaller scale model out of clay. Instead of letting my mind wander, as I usually did when I painted and when I worked on pottery, I had to be very focused when I was carving. Mistakes aren't easy to fix and most times you just have to scrap it and restart if you ever do something wrong. I worked for a while until I heard my dad mind link me and Sean to get ready for school.
I was trying to keep this sculpture a secret from Sean, and so far everyone knew nothing, which was perfect. I headed back upstairs and waited a bit in my room pretending to get dressed before I grabbed my backpack and the suitcase and headed outside.
I stuffed the suitcase in the back seat and Sean strolled our, still chomping on a slice of toast. He got in the front seat and I sat in the back seat as we pulled off and headed to Jia's house to give her a ride to school.

Time skip: end of school

I had managed to keep our trip a secret throughout the whole day. Sean almost blew the whole surprise a few times but I was able to shut him up in time before he spilled anything.

Felix told everyone that we had to go on a road trip to go do some business with another pack. He explained that it was sort of like a training session for when he became alpha, and gladly everyone agreed with little reluctance.
