Tension

Hailey Jane Rexler

That was intense. There really was a lot of animosity between our two packs after all. It was no pigment of my imagination, nor was it new hatred. I saw it as a history, something you were brought up as. Kind of like a national anthem. You grow up singing it. Someone who lives in France doens't grow up singing the German national anthem. Kind of like someone who grows up in the North pack doens't grow up liking the South pack. The hatred was first nature.

I curled up in my bean bag chair. Tanner and Lucy were on the couch. Tanner had curly blonde sheepish hair, which matched his sheepish smile whenever he was with Lucy. He had his arm around her and they were looking into each other's eyes lovingly. Suddenly I felt a pang of jealousy, why couldn't I have someone. Because I didn't want someone, I told myself strictly. I had never wanted anyone before. I scoffed to myself, they weren't even watching the movie.

'Luce,' I said. She looked towards me.

'Yeah Hails?' she said.

'What do they ship styrofoam peanuts in?' I asked.

'What? You're so random!' she giggled. Tanner chuckled and played with her poofy blonde hair.

'Where do you come up wiht this stuff?' he asked. 

'My head.' I shrugged. They laughed.

'Okay, I got one!' Lucy said. 'What is the speed of dark?'

'5 millin kazillion jillion hours per mile.' I said. 

'Hours per mile?' Tanner asked confused.

'Yes.'

'Don't you mean miles per hour?' he aksed.

'No. What are you smoking?' Lucy and I burst out laughing.

'Okeeeeeeeeeee!' I said. 'What do you think would happen to a vampire who drank blood from someone who had AIDS?' I asked.

'That's ridiculous! Vampires? And you think I'm smoking something?' Tanner asked.

'Hypocrite!' I yelled jumping up and down. 'Be optimistic! We're werewolves and you say the idea of vampires are ridiculous!' I laughed. He shrugged.

'Where is Old Zealand?' Tanner asked. 

'I dunno... beside Narnia?' I shrugged. We all laughed, falling asleep playing our favourite game of stupid questions.

Guess what? I showed up to World History again today just to see if it would set everyone off! And guess what... it did. I felt like causing as much havoc as possible today. So as soon as the bell rang I made sure to actually show up on time. I glanced to the middle of the classroom where all the popular people sat. In the center of the group was of course... Drew. I looked beside him at Kristy's seat, yes... the crazy ass bitch had claimed it as hers. I know... wow. I saw that she was doing her makeup by the doorway, so I siezed the moment and plopped myself down on her seat. A couple nerdy kids gasped, a couple of blondies gave me 'how dare you!' looks and the jocks looked amused and shocked. I popped a piece of Hubba Bubba original gum in my mouth and looked around. I blew a massive bubble and let it pop on my tongue.

'What?' I aksed nonchalantly.

'You do know that is Kristy's seat don't you?' one of the blonde bimbos asked appearing rather appaled.
