a little of what I have so far. Tell me what you think?
"Werewolves" I repeated the words after a few minutes of absolute and complete silence.
"Uh, yea werewolves" Lucus said looking around nervously
"You're telling me that, your whole entire family is made up of werewolves"
"Yes" he said shifting his weight.
I stared at him for a few more seconds, studying this new Lucus. He was not the calm, cool, and collected Lucus that I was accustomed too. No this Lucus was very new and fidgety and nervous. I could smell it, his nervousness
It made me very uncomfortable. I'm a horse I pick up on these types of things, its a survivol mechanism. If one member of the herd gets nervous then everyone gets nervous, then when danger actually arrives, we can react better. And our prefered method of reacting?
Bolting, turning tail and running like hell in the other direction. Which I was about to do.
"Oh"
The silence that followed only fueled both of our nervousness.
"Tara, I shouldn't have brought it up like that. Hell I shouldn't have brought it up at all." Lucus began but I cut him of.
"No, thank you. This helps clear a lot of stuff up." I spoke trying to keep my voice from shaking.
"Really?" he sounded skeptical but relieved all at the same time.
"Yeah" I was hunting for more to say when the bell rang. The shrill sound made me jump five feet in the air. It felt like someone had just dropped an ax through the tension that was filling the small space of the equipment room.
"Um listen can we talk about this later. I have to get to English, I didn't finish last nights homework." I started backing up, turning to escape this awkward situation.
"Yea sure of course. Hey wait a sec though" I was half way towards the door when he grabbed my wrist. The feelings that flowed through me were, nice.
It wasn't shocking, it wasn't lust or some strange urge. I just straight up liked the way it felt. No earth shattering feelings, just a pleasant one.
