Now for a visual representation of my boredom and procrastination from actually writing anything that contains mild worth and slight hints of literature:

On Tuesday I was supposed to be moving in to the pack house but I didn't want to live anywhere near the person who caused me so much heartache and confusion. Instead, I attended school like it was a normal day.
I put on a pair of light-wash denim short shorts and a navy and white stripe, crop T-shirt with green Pi on the front of it, in the shape of the Pi symbol. Not desert pie - mathematical Pi (3.14159265358979323 ...I could go on forever...). To finish off the look, I put on my pair of old, scuffed, classic green hi-top converse.
I was planning on leaving the house without fixing my hair but when I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth, I decided my hair needed immediate attention. I took its out of its caterpillar plait and put it in a low ponytail with a centre part. I then put concealer on the blemishes on my skin, mascara on my eyelashes and pink tinted lip gloss on my lips.
I made my way downstairs, grabbing my green and grey satchel and sunnies as I went. I grabbed a can of dog food and Charlie's bowl and emptied 1/2 of the can into the bowl before putting the rest in the fridge. Running outside to the forest, I called to Charlie.
Last night, I was feeling very lonely so I spent a lot of time getting to know Charlie and gaining her trust. I could now pat her and walk up to her before giving her food. This afternoon I was planning on skipping the dance practice I had planned, and instead start organising stuff for Charlie, like a bed (I had already got one of Glossy's old ones), some form of kennel-shelter and a bath + makeshift medical examination.
Charlie appeared on the edge of the trees wagging her tail. I had noticed significant improvements in her energy levels since I had begun feeding her proper meals. I set the bowl down in front of her and watched her eat, with a smile on my face. Checking my watch I sighed, it was 8:45 so time to go. Once Charlie was done I put the bowl near the back door and locked it before jogging to school.

"Steady hold!
Ropes and shackles blowing,
feel the sun glowing
and the sea spray washing
over the bow.
---
Steady hold!
Watch the Dolphins frolic,
see the eagle flying
over seas and golden skies.
---
Steady hold!
Though my heart is leaving,
there's a new life calling,
rise to the challenge of our journey!
-----
Let go the
LONG WHITE SAILS
across the ocean to the far side of the world.
---
Let go the
LONG WHITE SAILS
far, far away, to
A place where dreams prevail!"
I was currently auditioning for the school choir at lunch time. The choir auditions were already held yesterday but seeing as I was away, I had to perform in front of the whole choir at the proper practice today. Ash and Abbey had already gotten into the choir yesterday but Lora was in the cafeteria with the guys because she apparently "doesn't sing".
The choir teacher smiled at me and said "you're in" before I bounded up the rises and sat in the seat Ash had already saved for me.
"I remember that song" Ash whispered to me. Long White Sails, the song I had sung the first part of for my audition, was my favourite choir piece and I first sung it in grade five before also singing it in grade 7 for the choral component of an instrumental music camp.
It was kind of funny that the school had its choir auditions in forth term but it was actually because of the weird term dates and stuff due to us being werewolves. My birthday at my old school was AFTER the spring holidays but at Evergreen High, it was BEFORE the spring vacation, not to mention the fact the spring holidays were only a week long instead of my previous 2 and a bit weeks of spring vacation.
The choir teacher went on about commitment, practices and concerts while me and Ash made small talk through the rogue mindlink. The reason we generally use the mindlink we have from before is because we have had it longer than the Evergreen Sunset pack mindlink and there are less people using it so therefore the reception is better and their is less chance of eavesdropping. Not that we were saying anything confidential...
We mostly talked about me living on my own and school subjects. Ash told me they had cleared a room for me at the pack house situated in between Ash and Abbey's rooms. I was planning on bring a small amount of stuff there so I could live in between the two houses.
When we got out of choir, after many lectures and no actual singing, we went back to our lockers. For some reason there was a large buzzing noise coming from the Evergreen Sunset pack mindlink. Like a radio, I tuned in and heard snippets of conversations. "...lly hot..." "...omg, you look sooo..." "...tarts at 7... 4:30..." "...itch what?..." "...pha Jackso..." "...everyone's invite..." "...auadratic formulaton i..." "...weet seventee..." "...these hoes ain't loya..." Wait! What?
From what I deducted from that was Jack is having a 17th birthday party from 7pm-4:30am on an unknown day and everyone in the pack is invited. I'm so perceptive.
When Ash opened her locker she reached in and pulled out a piece of paper. On it in big letters was - You are invited to the pack house on Saturday from 7pm - 4:30am to celebrate the 17th birthday of the Alpha's son, Jackson Collins! This invitation is for you and only you. Hope you can come.
On the bottom of the invite, written in the messy scrawl belonging to Jack was - That means no Grace
Ash stared at me with a shell shocked expression on her face while I opened my locker. To my utmost non-surprise my locker was void from any slips of paper, making me the only pack member aged between 16 and 24, NOT to have received an invitation.
I turned to Ash and smiled. "So... are you doing anything on Saturday evening?" I asked her airily. She smiled nicely but I could easily see the wicked undertone. "Oh" she exclaimed. "I'm actually going to a party. But do you know what? It said I can bring a friend! Do want to be my +1?" I smiled back at her, not even trying to keep the wickedness from seeping into my grin. "Oh, I'd love too"
