I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep. I awoke the next morning to my alarm clock screaming for me to get out of bed. I got up and took a shower. When I got out I dried my hair completely and got dressed in ripped black skinny jeans, a black and purple long-sleeved shirt, and my purple converses. I pushed my dark brown hair back with a purple head band with a bow on it. I grabbed my book bag and jacket and ran down the stairs. I put my book bag by the door as usual and I walked into the kitchen and the lights were off. I turned them on and saw my mom, my dad, and my younger two brothers. "SURPRISE HAPPY BIRTHDAY JADE!" They yelled. I looked down at my mom's hand and saw a beautiful cake with blue and purple roses on white frosting. "Thanks guys" I said. "I made your favorite sweetie." my mom said. "Thanks mom but I'm not hungry this morning." She frowned knowing why I had been dreading this day. I forced a smile "but thanks anyway." She caught on to me "sweetie I know you've been dreading this day because of Alice, but you don't need to. Your older brothers turned out just fine. The still have the same friends they did before they changed." "Yeah I know mom but Alice and I were like sisters and then the next day it was like we were never friends to start with." She frowned "I know sweetie and I'm sorry that she made that mistake, most of them do, but you shouldn't let that worry you. You don't have to change to please all of those people. Be who you are and if they don't like it then that's on them." I smiled for real "Thanks mom. Now what did you make me for breakfast? I'm hungry!" She laughed a little and my dad smiled and said "Now that's my girl!" I laughed a bit "Always have been!" "Bacon, eggs, toast, and biscuits and gravy." my mom replied to my previous question. My smile grew. She knew me so well. After I finished eating, I began my walk to school. As I was walking a car drove by me and threw something at the back of my head, "Not happy birthday you loser freak!" someone yelled. I rolled my eyes and continued to walk. The car stopped and someone got out "Hey! You will respond to me when I talk to you freak!" I continued to ignore him and I kept walking. He grabbed my arm and spun me around so fast I felt my head spin. "You will turn into a werewolf tonight and I will have to let you in my pack so you better learn fast that you will listen to me because I will be your alpha." James said. James is Brian's best friend and he is also dating Brittany. James and Brittany own the school, ruling side by side. Next comes Brian and Alice in the order of power. I looked to the car and saw that Brittany was in the back with the door open and Alice was sitting in the passenger seat with Brian driving. They were laughing at me but that was nothing new. They all did that everyday. James got mad at me because I hadn't responded to him yet so he pushed me down on the ground and put his foot on my stomach. "Did you hear me?" he asked me. "I did but I just chose to ignore you." I said. I think that made him even more mad because he yanked me off the ground and threw me down. I hit my head and saw a few stars. I shook my head a little but it made it hurt worse. Tears threatened to fall down my cheeks from the pain. "James just get back in the car. That loser isn't worth your time." Brittany said. He looked over at her, "I will after this loser learns her lesson babe." he said. She smiled "Ok then baby." He turned back to me "Now what do you say to me?" He asked. I looked up at him "Well I would answer that but I don't think you would like my answer." I said. His chocolate brown eyes turned black and stared into my grayish colored ones. His face turned red in anger and he picked me up by my shirt and threw me against the ground again but harder than last time. It hurt so bad that I almost blacked out. My eyes watered again but I refused to give them something more to laugh at so I blinked them away. "You better re-think that and I want the correct answer before you join my pack tonight. Your father may be a respected werewolf but that doesn't mean I have to let you into my pack." He said. He got back in the car and they drove off. I got up and touched my head where it hurt and winced. I pulled my hand away from my head and looked at it. My hand had a crimson colored liquid on it. I groaned and got back up and started to walk to school again. I got there and Alice, Brian, Brittany, and James all looked at me and laughed. They turned around and started to walk into the school laughing. I walked into the school and went straight to the bathroom to check my injuries. I opened the door and walked in. I had to use the bathroom so i decided I would do that first. I walked to the farthest stall from the door and went in. I was about to unlock the stall door when I heard the main door open. Two girls were talking and I recognised their voices as Alice's and Brittany's. I stopped in my tracks and listened. "I found my real mate yesterday Alice." Brittany said. "Who is it Brit?" Alice asked. "I'll tell you after you tell me who yours is." She replied. "Mine is Brian. We've been together ever since we realised that we were mates." Alice said. "So your beta female?" Brittany asked. "Yeah, Brian and I mated almost instantly." Alice said. "So who is your mate Brit?" Alice asked. "You can't tell anyone but my mate is James' brother Austin." Brittany replied. "No way!" Alice shrieked. "Shhhh. No one can know. I accepted him as my mate." Brittany said. "OMG so your cheating on James with his brother? Have you two mated yet?" Alice asked. "Yes and yes but not fully. James would know then, we've only done it, he hasn't bitten me yet." Brittany said. I heard a jingling sound. Alice was probably shaking her head at Brittany. Alice never like cheaters. She was always faithful. I guess that never changed about her, even when everything else had. I heard a bag being zipped shut and a snap then I heard the door open and close and I knew they were gone. I unlocked the door and stepped out of the stall. I walked over and washed my hands and took a look in the mirror to examine my wound. When I realized I couldn't see it I gave up. I walked out of the bathroom and went to my locker. I got my things out for my first two classes since my locker was down stairs and my first few classes were upstairs. I went and sat on the stairs and waited for the bell to ring, signaling us to go to class. The bell rang and I walked up the stairs. I went to my first period which is art. I walked in and sat down. The teacher called roll and began class. "Ok today you will be working on glazing your clay projects from last week." She said. I got up out of my seat and walked over to the box that had our projects in them. I grabbed mine and placed it on the table in front of my seat. I went over to the box organiser and looked inside the box with the number 3 on it. I grabbed my pallet and looked in the box with the number 9 on it and got Patrice's pallet out for him. He is the closest thing I have to a friend. He put the glazes in our pallets while I got our brushes, a cup with water in it, and a paper towel. Once he had our glazes in our pallets he brought them over and we began to glaze our clay pieces. Once we were done, we put our pieces back in the box so the Mrs. Smith could put our clay pieces back in the kiln, and Patrice cleaned the pallets while I cleaned the brushes and the cup. The bell rang and on my way out I threw the paper towel away. I walked next door to the Spanish room for Spanish 2. I sat down in my seat in the back of the room. We had a test that day so I studied until she had us put our things away and get out a sheet of paper and number to 25. I fixed up my paper the way I usually do and got ready to take the vocabulary test. After the test we worked in our work books and then the text book. Mrs. Williamson gave us a sheet of paper to do for bonus points. I got finished right as the bell rang. I turned my paper in finished and handed her the shoe box for the project we needed to work on. After I gave it to her I left for my first third period. I walked into the library and set my stuff down. I went over to talk to this one girl that is also close to being a friend just like Patrice. My head started hurting so I went over to the substitute and asked her if I could go to the nurse and if Saejin could come with me. She nodded her head and we went down the stairs to the office. We walked into the office. "Where are you two going?" Jennifer asked. "Were going to the nurse." Saejin replied. The secretary nodded her head and we headed on back. The nurse looked up from her lunch "Whats wrong?" she asked. "My head hurts." I said. She pointed for me to sit down. I sat down and she looked at the back of my head at all the dried blood and the wound. She put her gloves on and grabbed something to clean it with. She touched my wound with her gloved fingers and I winced. "Sorry." she said. "Its ok." I said. She began to clean my wound. Once she was done I got up "now take it easy, you don't want to injure that further, if you do it will start bleeding again." I nodded my head and Saejin and I went back to the library. At 11:23 I went down stairs to my locker. I put my books in it and got my lunch box out of it. I closed my locker and went to the cafeteria. I sat down at my usual table. I opened up my lunch box and got out my sandwich and my apple juice. I began to eat by myself as usual. Once I was finished I closed my lunch box and got up to throw my trash away. As I was walking to the trashcan a foot snuck out and someone tripped me. The entire cafeteria burst into laughter. "Watch where your going freak!" I looked up to see Brittany, Alice, Brian, and James sitting there. I noticed that Brittany is the one that tripped me. I got up ignoring her as I walked over to the trash can. I had just finished throwing my trash away when a hand grabbed my arm and made me spin around. I looked up to find James standing there "I already told you once today, your gonna listen to me and you will apologise to my girlfriend for hurting her ankle." I looked him in the eyes "Why would I say sorry to her when shes the one that stuck her foot in my way to trip me." His eyes turned darker "Because your so fat your weight hurt her ankle." I just pulled my arm out of his grasp and walked over to Brittany "Sorry your stupid enough to stick your ankle in my way." She got mad and James came back over to his seat. I walked away before he could say anything to me. I sat back down and waited to leave. Neff came back while I was throwing my trash away. Steve was sitting in the seat in front of me. He is one of the only people that sit with me at lunch. "Hey Steve." I said while sitting back down. "Hey Jade, what happened over there?" He asked. "Oh nothing, Brittany just tripped me and James tried to make me say sorry to her." I replied. He got a confused look on his face "Why would you need to say sorry to her?" He asked. "Because I hurt her ankle." I said. "Yeah right." he said. "Yeah I know. James said it was because I was so fat." Steve just shook his head "Their full of it." "I know but try telling them that." I laughed. The vice principal came in and turned the lights off then back on "Ok lets go." We all got up and left the cafeteria. I put my lunch box in my locker and headed off to my second third period. I walked into history class and sat down. All we did was take notes and the next thing I know the bell rings and its time for fourth period. I walked up the stairs to my data analysis class with Mrs. Atwell. I walked into class and sat down at my desk. We took notes and did a few math problems. We also worked on our homework until the bell rang. I walked down the stairs and made my way to the band room. I walked into the main room and put my book bag beside my chair. I went into the brass storage and got my baritone out then I got my music out from the music shelves. I went and sat down in my seat. I looked at the board and got my music ready then played the scales that we had to play for bell work. Mr. Daniels came into the room and had us stop playing. We played the songs for our Christmas program, and the program we had in the park this coming weekend. Once we were done, I put my instrument up and waited to leave. The bell rang signaling that school was finally over. I walked to my locker and put my things up and got my lunch box out and closed my locker. I walked outside and went over to where Steve, Patrice, and Saejin were standing. "Hey Jade." Patrice said. "Hey guys, whats up?" I asked. "Steve was just telling us what happened at lunch today." Saejin answered. I grimaced "Yeah that wasn't to fun, it really hurt my chest." They nodded. Their bus pulled up and they got in line to get on. "C ya later Jade." They all said. "Bye guys." I said. I began my walk home. Once I got home I walked up to my room and put my book bag down by my desk. I went down stairs and put my ice pack in the freezer and put my lunch box up. I then went back up stairs. I grabbed my galaxy 3 and texted my friend in New York. He texted back almost instantly. We talked for a while until he had to go do chores. I got up and went down stairs and almost had a heart attack when I saw my parents on the couch. "What are you two doing home? Aren't you supposed to be at work?" I asked. "Well as you know James' parents are our bosses and they gave us the rest of the day off because of it being your birthday and all." They said. I just nodded remembering what happened earlier. "Come on dear, we have to go." My mom said. "Go where?" I asked. My dad just shook his head "Bring some extra clothes with you and a blanket." I turned around and ran upstairs and changed into an old set of clothes knowing exactly what they were referring to. I picked up the clothes I had on and put them in a bag. I grabbed a blanket and went back down stairs. i handed the things to my parents and went and got in the car sitting next to one of my brothers. My parents got in the car and started it up. We pulled out of the drive way and we were on our way.
