When we woke up, we got ready for school. On the way there I thought I heard footsteps and I felt like someone was watching me. Class wasn’t nearly as bad as it was Friday.
During lunch we found Laylah. She looked depressed. I asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m only fifteen and I’ve already been kicked out of the house. It’s all Mike’s fault, too. If he would’ve killed you or wouldn’t have stopped me from it, we wouldn’t be in this mess.”
“Let’s go hunting.”
“Okay.”
I had the same feeling of being watched. I saw a tanned boy I’d never saw before.
I asked, “Who’s that?”
“A new kid I guess.”
“Why is he looking at us like we’re the worst thing on Earth?”
“To him, we probably are.”
“Why?”
“He’s a werewolf.”
“Let’s go say hi.”
“Let’s not and say we did. It’s not a good idea. The war may be over but they still don’t like us at all and we’re not particularly fond of them.”
“I don’t care.”
I walked over to him with Laylah reluctantly following me.
I said, “Hi, what’s your name?”
“What do you care?”
“I just wanted to know you name.”
“Why does a leech wanna’ know for?”
“I am not a leech.”
“Jade, watch it. Don’t get him mad.”
“Are you here alone?”
“No.”
“Where are the others?”
“None of your business.”
“You don’t have to be so rude. I was only trying to be nice.”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t think anybody should be left out no matter what they are.”
“You’re young and clueless, ain’t ya’?”
“No.”
I was starting to get impatient.
He said, “Fine, I’ll give ya’ll a chance. My name Buckie.”
“Hi Buckie, I’m Jade. Do you want to come with us?”
“Where?”
“Hunting. Do you want to come?”
“I guess so. Better than sittin’ around watchin’ humans.”
