New Boy

It was a full moon out. I sat in my room eating a big bag of Fritos, watching Escape the night. I love Joey. Anyway, it was a full moon and my parents went out to the garage. We secured it so it doesn't open from the outside. During full moons we change into our wolves, but since we're not rogue and wild we live in peace with humans. We keep ourselves in the garage where it's nice and comfy. At least, it was after we designed it. I'm still 17, so I don't fully transform until I turn 18. Which is in a couple of weeks.

The movie ended and the credits flashed across the screen. I heard a noise outside and bolted up, grabbing the remote and pausing it. I walked towards my window and opened it looking around. Nothing. I was just about to give up, until I saw the cans against the house rattle. Quickly, I looked that way and saw a tail go around the side of the house. Growling to myself I jumped out the window and landed on my feet, with one hand on the ground and the other in the air behind me.

I stood up and ran the opposite direction around the house. I reached the garage and saw a hole.

"Oh great." I whispered to myself.

A brown wolf with yellow eyes appeared and I circled it, growling. The wolf jumped to the left,then the right trying to get past me, but I was slightly quicker. I looked down closing my eyes and holding my hand out. I felt my blood boil and my veins throb. I opened my eyes again, but instead of hazel, they were yellow. Stepping closer to the brown wolf I growled lowly and the wolf backed up. It eventually gave up and crawled through the hole to the garage.

Sighing, I fixed the hole by putting branches, leaves, and pieces of old metal I found against the garage. That way they couldn't dig another hole.

I dressed in my school uniform and walked down stairs to the kitchen. In the kitchen was a door that led to the garage. I unlocked all 5 locks and opened it. My parents stepped out immediately and I closed the door.

Miyah:"Really?Breaking out?!"

Mother:" You'll understand when your older."

Father:" Miyah, you don't understand how strong the moon's pull is."

Miyah:" Still! Your the one whose always telling me not to give into the pull and animal needs! You escaped just by the smell of food." I followed my mother and panicked as she opened the trash can. All my bottle and chip wrappers. She gave me a look and I smiled innocently. A horn honked. Thank god.

Mother:" Get on the bus, but this is not over." I groaned.

I met my best friend, Leslie, by the entrance.

Leslie:" what are you wearing?" I looked down and noticed I was wearing my rain boots. Crap! He laughed.

Miyah:" Werewolves ate my shoes. It was a full moon last night."

Leslie:" Dont start, and speaking of-"

Star:" Miyah! Leslie!" She ran to us. Star was my other best friend, but she was a little to smart. And being smart makes you sneaky. "Did you hear it last night? Howling in the woods?" I gulped."lookie"

She wiped out her phone and showed us a picture of a paw print.

Star:" I'm gonna match it to every dog to find similarities."

The 3-v's walked past us into school,but not without saying something irrelevant and annoying.

Leslie:" Every dog?!" He said as we walked in and to our lockers.

Star:"Its proof,Leslie." I turned around and smiled.

Miyah:" look! New art club members!" We ran to the poster, but it was only nonsense written on it ,like superman and the incredible hulk.

Mr.Ilusyon:" Ive warned you about this."

Miyah : " We'll get new members I promise. "

Mr.Ilusyon: " You better, the school could use the money on this club for something more important. "jerk.

He walked away and a familiar smell hit my nose. It was Vixen and his two goons. Of course.

Miyah : " Vixen. "

Leslie : " How do you know?" Shit.

Miyah : " Who else has such terrible handwriting?!" She nodded absentmindedly.

We began walking to class, but a stronger smell hit my nose. It was a mixture of dirt, bread, and cinnamon-rogue. I hate cinnamon, but this time I was oddly entranced to it. I slowly smelt the air and saw the trail of the source and followed it.

Leslie : " Miyah! "He yelled from down the hall. I turned the corner and saw the smell leading down stairs. I was about to follow it but the bell rang. Weird.

*

I sat down in the seat next to leslie and star behind us.

Mr.Ilusyon : " Quiet down everyone! We have a new student joining us today, scotty jones."

Scott:" Actually its just scott."He said wih a sharp accent.

Mr.Ilusyon : " I'm guessing that you are from...England!"

Scott:"No." I class laughed.

Miyah : " You smell like my parents. " They laughed at me and scott cringed.

Their goes that smell again and it was radiating off him. I immediately felt drawn to him and it made me want to howl.

*

After class, which was torture, the schools 3 vicky's flirted with him, in the back of the room. As soon as I saw him alone in the stairway I cornered him.

Miyah : " what are you doing here?"

Scott : " I came to learn-"

Miyah : " I meant on our territory! When mom and dad get a whiff of you-"

Scott : " I dont care whos territory this is and I dont need no freaky girl like you to tell me how to live my life!" I stepped back hurt, but I quickly changed my facial expression as he walked off.

Damn rogues!

*

It was lunchtime and I sat with leslie and star. Scott sat in the back by himself....why do I care?

Miyah : " hmph, im not freaky. "

Star : " You kinda started it."

Leslie:" The question is... does he play ball?" More like fetch." I think I'm gunna go ask."

Miyah : " No dont."

Leslie walked over to scott and I tucked my hair behind my ear to increase my hearing on them. It helps me focus on directing noise in certain directions.

Leslie : " Woah! Thats a wicked drawing."

Scott : " What do you want? "

Leslie : " Oh! Do you like football because I think you'll-"

Scott : " Look I dont like football and I dont want to hang with you or your weirdo mate. Got that?"

Leslie:"Got it, but obviously they don't teach manners in England. "

Scott tensed up as leslie walked away.

Leslie sat down and the 3-v's walked over to him. I continued to listen.

Victoria:" Hello scott."

Why are they talking to him and why is be not telling them to get lost!

Vicky: " We're entering this conest and we think your dead good looking."

Vicki:"Yeah." I growled really lowly. He caught my gaze and I looked down quickly.

Scott: " That weird girl over there, whos she?"

Vicky:"Miyah Barns?"

Victoria:"Her families lived here for centuries, don't like strangers or questions."

Vicki:" But lets talkabout you..and me."

Victoria:" And us."

I don't think Scott likes them much...but then again, who does?

We were in the art room.

Miyah : " Where are we gonna find 3 new members?"

Star:" Mrs.badgers hiking trail!"

Me and leslie followed her into the hallway where the poster hung. This is perfect. We can recruit members by offering free arts supplies to the younger years.

Star:" See its open to anyone."

Leslie : " Brilliant. "

I heard scotts voice and I immediately turned around. Scott pulled a celery stick out his locker.

Jonas:" I knew I smelt something, is that your lunch." Vixens goon said in a fake British accent.

Scott:" Im not even British! "

Vixen walked off and scott threw the celery at his back. They stopped walking and Vixen marched up to scott.

Vixen:" Got a problem freak boy?!" Scott tensed up after vixen pushed him. Scott jumped up and tackled vixen down. He grabbed a fistfull of vixens shirt and growled in his face. I panicked.

Standing up scott looked at his hands. His veins were turning black and I could tell his skin was boiling. I pushed him into the art room just as Mr.Ilusyon came down the hall.

Scott:" Get out! Trust me, you have to get out." I locked the door and watched him intensively. He fell to his knees and looked up and me with yellow eyes."I'm so sorry. "

A few seconds later I was staring ahead at a blonde and brown wolf.

Fuck.
