I blink in surprise.  Where did the innocent-little-freshman look go?

"Sorry, what?" I ask, still confused.

She bursts into tears. 

"I'm sorry, Dru!  I'm so sorry. They made me do it."  She buries her face in her hands.

"Who made you do what?" I wonder out loud.

"The other wolves.  They made me ask you if you were planning an attack.  With him." She cringes.

"With who?!" I start to get impatient.

Her light eyes bore into mine.  "The other vampire sitting with you before.  With blond hair."

I try to hold back a gasp.  "Mathias?"

"I don't know his name."

"Um...did he have blue eyes?"

"Yeah."

"Was he the one you were running away from before?" I ask, to confirm my suspicion.

"What--ohhh, yeah."

"Why?"

She looks down at the floor, and is silent for a moment.  Then she looks back at me with a false smile. 

"I'll explain it another time.  But let's just enjoy this class, shall we?" 

I'm annoyed at her for changing the subject, but I can tell she's scared and so I go with it.  But what she just said really struck me.  Mathias planning an attack?  Where did that come from?  And, more importantly, what did it mean?

I clear my throat.  "Naomi," I whisper. 

She turns her head in my direction, and the light catches her eyes.  They're yellow. 

"Wait," I start.  "Are you..."

She looks at me quizzically and I motion to her eyes.  She smiles. 

"Yeah, I'm a wolf.  Kind of weird, huh?"

I shrug.  "Not really.  I mean, this is coming from a vampire, so..."

We laugh.  When we grow silent, I try to ask her again. 

"Naomi."

She looks at me.  I motion for her to come closer so on one else hears us.  She leans in, and I whisper, "We need to talk sometime."  Then I smile to show her that I'm not trying to sound forceful. 

She smiles back.

"I'll tell you," she says.  "I'll tell you everything."

I nod, satisfied. 

The teacher clears her throat.  "Done, ladies?"

Naomi blushes but I sit back calmly.  If this is the 'tough high school drama' that Naomi goes through, she's lucky.  Really lucky.

Author's Note: Hey guys, so I know this chapter is really short, but that's because chapter 6 was originally supposed to be combined with this one.  I re-read it afterwards and the two didn't really blend well together as one chapter, so I just split them.  Hope that's ok with you all :) and comment down below if you like Naomi!! I tried to make her this cute, innocent little freshman girl that's manipulated by others easily, so hopefully through my descriptions that's how you see her as well.   Anywayssss...today is Friday! Yay! Haha hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading! Have a werewolf-tastic, vamazing day!! And yes, there's a "v" there on purpose. It stands for vampire :) haha get it? :) VA-MAZING? LIKE VAMPIRE-AMAZING? Ok, I'll stop.  Have an awesome Friday :D
