6:00 A.M.

Two hours till 1st period.

Getting up, I rolled my shoulders, getting out the stiffness from my body. Looking at my hands, I stood and stretched my body to prepare for my morning routine. I walked downstairs to make a protein shake and went to the basement. Every morning I run at least a mile on a treadmill and do pull-ups until it is seven so that I have enough time to finish my protein shake. Then take a shower because I don't want to smell like sweat first thing in the morning. Besides, most people reek after sweating, and I'd rather not smell like something rotting. With that, I ran till I felt like I burned off my need to run and lifted myself while having my protein shake. With that, I finished my morning workout. I know it is ridiculous for an 18-year-old to be so workout orientated, but if I'm honest, this is no ordinary town, and I'm no average person. My name is Blake Warren, and I am a werewolf. And no, I don't mean the kind of person who loses control at night looks like a slightly taller human with a wolf face and claws. Weirdly enough, I'm more like the werewolves from Twilight. Although if we choose, we can become more humanoid, and we don't get more buff after becoming a wolf, but we do have a hard time controlling our emotions depending on the situation. And we can turn an average human into a werewolf, but they tend to have no control over their transformations during the full moon. But unlike Twilight, we have no beef with vampires, and they have no beef with us. And unlike Twilight, they also don't sparkle like a glitter bomb, although we would probably laugh at them if they did. Vampires aren't genuinely immortal, although they do live a long time. And a vampire can be born or created. Although if made, they are called halflings, and they stop aging entirely, unlike a natural-born vampire. Whether born from a human or a vampire, any vampire is born as a vampire. Vampires can see perfectly at night, so they have a slight sensitivity to light when it comes to their eyes. When naturally born, they tend to age like humans, as do us wolves, but once our species reach a certain age, we start aging slower than other species. Vampires tend to become more attractive, allowing natural, easy access to blood. And yes, they need blood to live, although they only need it once a month for human blood and animal blood once a week. I usually work out so that I don't accidentally break anything. Even though almost all of my school is supernatural beings like demons, fairies, and other species, they can alter a person's memory as long as they are involved with that incident. Wolves can't do that neither can vampires, although they can make a person forget what happened before and after eating human blood. Now and then, the school has a human from the outside world transfer to our school. It is so that our school doesn't raise suspicions about everything in the first place because we are supposed to be a myth. Although sometimes a human gets accepted into the school because they are most likely part magical being themselves. I've met a half-fairy half-human who didn't know she was even half-fairy until she attended the school.

6:59 A.M.

One hour and 31 minutes until 1st period.

Going to my bedroom, I toss the blender bottle into the sink as I head upstairs to get cleaned up. As of right now, I heard that we would have a new classmate join us at our school, but I don't care. Turning on the water, I strip and step in the water pour. Scrubbing my body, I wash my hair, hoping that it's short length will dry in time for me to go to school. Scrubbing and washing myself briefly, I got out of the shower. I dried my hair and put some gel in it to not be a complete mess. Looking at myself in the mirror, I floss and brush my teeth: golden brown eyes, slightly dark skin, and jet black hair. While rinsing out my mouth, I finished drying myself and stepped into my room with no towel to cover myself. Grabbing grey pants and a black T-shirt, I slipped on my clothes with underwear as well and slid some boots on. I stretched to make sure I still had the whole movement in my body. With that, I grabbed my bag and ran to school.

8:01 A.M.

30 degrees F

29 minutes till 1st period.

Running to school, I saw a vehicle that I'd never seen at our school. The new kid is here. Slowing down, I walk inside the building. Kids are in the seating area chatting before going to class, and others are taking a nap, but all of them are tense, probably because the new kid is here, and we don't know if she is an actual human or if she is a magical being. "Blake over here." Hearing my friend James shout my name, I walked over. "Hey bud, have you seen the new girl yet? She is super cute but very odd. As soon as some of us tried to approach her, we could all hear the music she was blasting in her ears, and we weren't even close enough to catch her attention, although she does have alright tastes in music." Hearing James' comments on her music, Allen punched his shoulder, not hard enough to hurt but hard enough to sting. "Common man, her taste in music was incredible. She was listening to the toll of the bells by Metallica. So hardcore" Jokingly shoving Allen back, James and Allen started to rough house right in front of me. Deciding that they would break something, I got their attention the only way I am good at hitting them where it hurts. Falling, they pretended that what I did hurt more and started to pretend that I betrayed them and laid on the floor acting as if they both died.

8:23 A.M.

Seven minutes till 1st period.
