Look out the window
Look at the trees
Throw back your head
And howl to the breeze
Make the change
Don't try to wait
You can't stop it
It's you fate

I shuddered as I read the poem. I always thought it was a strange thing to have hanging in my room. It just didn't go with my fluffy pastel yellow pillows. Or fit in with the girly lace curtains. Why would any girl want a wooden plaque with some creepy poem on it. That's what I was thinking yesterday. Now it made sense. Now I would give anything to be thinking what I was thinking yesterday. My mind rudely took me out of denial and back to reality. Werewolf. Werewolf. Werewolf. Werewolf.
Werewolf I said it out loud. I liked how it sounded in my head better.
Honey you are not a werewolf! My mom said looking very offended. My mind wasn't digesting this. Werewolf. Werewolf. Werewolf. Werewolf. Werewolf. Werewolf. Werewolf.
Stop it! My father barked. It's like he can read my mind. OMG! He can read my mind. Its just like Twilight. My favorite book just became my life. I felt nauseated. It's nothing like Twilight, he growled at me. Barked...growled...hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
It's hilarious its like he's a dog.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh geez she's hysterical mother said. I guess we should have expected this.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I want to stop laughing. I can't. I guess I am hysterical. Finally I stopped laughing, and began crying. My parents left the room. I stared at the wall. More specifically I stared at the plaque.

Don't try to wait'. It's like the plaque knows. I would do anything to wait. Werewolf. Werewolf. Werewolf. Werewolf. Werewolf. Werewolf. They said I'm not a werewolf. Susimies. It means wolf man in Finnish. And I always thought that being Finnish was so harmless. At least I'm not a werewolf. That is at least one comforting thought. Now if only I could get rid of the thousands of horrifying ones. Maybe I should replay the facts. My last name is Valitakansa. Chosen people. We came from a long line of susimies. How did we originate? There are so many different legends. No one knows for sure. What makes us different from werewolves? We don't change with every full moon. Also we aren't very much like an actual wolf. The only true similarity is our instincts. Grow long hair and get on all fours? Nope that's not us. We just behave with the wonderful instincts of a canine animal At least that is the bull crap my parents told me. They actually like it! Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.

Werewolves! I looked up to hear giggles in the back of the class. Oh. I just totally said that out loud. I can feel the blush spreading through my cheeks. I uh... I uh... uh... uh... Come on think! Say something. I think that the changing of the characters in the Taming of the Shrew are like how a werewolf changes when the moon is out. When certain people come around the characters immediately change roles.

Very insightful, Sieva, in a twisted sort of way. Stop reading Twilight all night and start getting some sleep.

Whew. That was a close one. I need to get it together. My parents want me to change. Tonight. At least I don't have to kill any animals or anything weird like that. Ha. That's funny. This whole thing is weird. OMG. I am so in over my head.

Evie! You're not even listening to me. Prom. Saturday. Remember, the thing where we come to school in dresses with dates. You're still going with Scott, right?

Oh yeah, sorry Rey. My mind was somewhere else. That's an understatement. Of course I'm still going with Scott What am I going to tell Scott?!?!?! Or even tell Rey. Shurrey and I had been best friends forever. Could I trust her with my secret? I'm totally wearing this gorgeous strapless white dress with a gold belt. Of course the gold belt doesn't look tacky though. I'm going let my hair hang curly over shoulders with just one simple gold clip. I'm wearing delicate gold sandals with matching earrings and bangles. I'm going for that Greek goddess look.

That sounds so awesome. Wish I thought of it but I'm going for a more modern retro look. Maybe a poofy taffeta skirt, you know the kind with the...

This is so nice. Talking normal. No werewolves or anything. Prom, such a safe topic to talk about. Or so I had thought.

To be continued...
Maybe, it depends on if people like it or not.
