Even though Lizzie told me Hope was always distant, I found it easy to talk with Hope. We easily opened up to each other. I told her how my parents died, and she told me of who her father was and her real last name is Mikaelson. She also told me how she had the hollow inside her, and that's why she can't see most of her family. We grew to be really close friends, and when I was offered to have my own room we both agreed that we wanted to stay roommates.

One morning I wake up really late to Hope shaking me awake, telling me we have to go to class. I quickly jump out of bed, as Hope leaves to walk to class. I quickly strip out of my pajamas, and I pull on my pants. As I'm about to put on my shirt on over my sports bra, Hope comes back into the room. Once she realizes that I'm changing, she shuts the door quickly behind her. I turn around facing away from her and the door, and I'm about to pull my shirt on. Hope asks, "What's that?" 

"What?" I ask, "Is there something wrong with my bun?"

"No, on your shoulder," Hope says pointing high on my shoulder blade.

"That's just a birthmark," I say.

"No," Hope says. I give her a confused look. "It's a wolf pack mark. I have the same one." Hope then pulled down her shirt, showing the same birthmark in the same spot. She then says, "That birthmark means you are apart of the Crescent Wolf Pack. My mom and I are apart of the same pack."

We end up going to class, but since we sit next to each other she tells me all about the pack. She tells me all about her mom, and how they both  live in New Orleans with Hope's aunt. Hope tells me that I should come back with her during summer break... maybe I should.
