Caged In (old version & incomplete)

I woke up to my alarm clock ringing at 8:30 in the morning, and I slumped to my feet as I went over to the other side of my room to turn it off. I quickly looked at the calendar that read: November 30th.

I got dressed and grabbed my bag for class, today I had Latin and Chemistry.

The end of the semester was coming up quick, and the surprising part was the fact that Greg hadn't said a word since the incident three weeks ago. I would have at least expected him to try and do something, but it went to complete radio silence.

The thing that really stressed me out was the fact that tonight was a full moon. Nothing had seemed off so far, and that was good, but I was scared about tonight. I didn't want to shift again, the pain was bad enough, but I don't want to go back to the pack. They would treat me as an outsider anyway.

I ran out of my dorm and towards the elevator. I was just anxious, my body felt full of electricity, and I wanted to get my classes over with so I could see my brother sooner and send him off on his merry way.

Ding!

The elevator stopped at the third floor of the dormitory building and the doors slid open to revealed a familiar pair of blue eyes.

" Logan." I laugh," Long time no see."

"In about a month or so my smell will diminish."

I remember Greg saying that before he left. What if Logan smells that I shifted . . . I just hope I'm being too over cautious.

" That smell . . . " Logan mumbles.

Shit.

" That fucking pure blood, when did he come here? He didn't hurt you, did he he ?"

I shake my head," No, it's okay."

Thank god.

" Now, I have to get to classes." I try to push back past Logan.

" Lucy," he sighs," You know that isn't the only thing I can smell, right ?"

" Oh, are my neighbors having intercourse again, I'm truly sorry." I try to get on the elevator, but he grabs my arm.

" You know, someone called dad and said something really weird. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you ?" He asks.

" Oh, is he getting prank calls again ?"

" You know that isn't it." He growls.

" Look, he was lying to get your trust, whatever he showed you is fake. I didn't -"

" What are you talking about ? We heard you had a boyfriend, and dad was furious, who did you think called us ?"

I am dating someone, a guy named Nathan, a nice human kid who has biology with me. He asked me out two days ago, so I guess news travels quickly.

" Oh." I say," Well, am I not allowed to date anyone now ?"

" Not anyone like him." Logan whispers harshly.

" Like him ?" I ask.

" Well, we heard he was human."

I scoff," Oh my god, what is so wrong with that ? I don't know if you've forgotten, but we're human too."

Logan suddenly grabs my arms," We're better than those things, stop -"

" Woah woah, wait a second." I shake him off and glare at him," Those things ?" I scoff," Are you kidding me right now, don't tell me you just called humans things." I hiss.
