Author's Note: Sooo. This is my new story... THIS STARTS BEFORE BROTHERLY LOVE AND IS ABOUT J.J., PARKER, AND CHARLTON'S LIFE BEFORE. This has nothing to do with Derek, Simon, Tori, or Chloe. Some to do with the Edison Group though:). **Perfect for J.J. fans :)** I am writing in J.J.'s POV throughout this whole story and Lizzie6376 (AKA: Cousin Liz) is writing in Charlton's POV so... Yeah.. ENJOY:)!

Dedication: To Cousin Liz, just because she rocks. To J.J., Parker, Jim, Charlton, Colby, Trent, Rebecca, and Travis, for being subjects of this story (who are all real people, I love you people :D)

Chapter 1 - J.J.

I leaned up against my truck in the school parking lot waiting on Parker to get there. Chevy, chrome rims, black, 6 inch lift on the tires, four-wheel drive. Perfect for muddin'. I absently looked at the Ashford High School sign and starting counting the light bulbs inside of it. On my right I could hear some girls talking about my butt..

I'm only in tenth grade and I'm the hottest and most popular guy in the school. Not to mention I'm also a werewolf.

I looked around for any of my other friends, who were also werewolves. I couldn't see any. Here in Alabama we have the Southern Pack. It's a pack of seven guys, werewolves that is. There is three other packs besides us in the whole country. So far we're the second biggest.

There was me (the leader and ladies man), Parker (my co-leader), Jim (the smart one), Phil (the calm one), Beefy (his real name is Colby, and he's the strong one.. But not as strong as me), Trent, and Travis (who are both stupid ones but creative).

I could hear someone approaching me from behind. I turned and saw a group of ten girls.

"Hi, J.J." the girl standing front and center said. The rest of the girls with her giggled.

I gave them my trademark smile and wink. Every one of their hearts accelerated. I laughed mentally.

I heard Parker's Jeep before I saw it. He was apparently holding down the horn. Students get in a lot of trouble for doing that shit, unless you're Parker..

He parked beside me and jumped out. I met him half-way and we jumped and slammed our chests together (AKA: a body slam).

"Guess who called me last night?" Parker crowed like the idiot he is.

"Rachael." How would I not know? He has talked non-stop about her for about two months now.

"You know it!"

We knuckle touched.

"So.." He looked like he needed to say something else.

"Well… We've got a date Friday night!" He said grinning.

"Awesome dude!"

We knuckle touched, once again.

A little girl named Rebecca walked up to me and hugged me.

"Hey, J.J."

"Hi, Rebecca." I said smiling down at her. I had to be a whole foot and a half taller than her. "When was the last time that you grew?"

"I can't help that your ten feet tall." she said blushing.

"Nah uh, only nine foot eleven."

She stared up at me and smiled. She was only in seventh grade, curly red hair with freckles dotted across her nose. Cute, like a puppy. She'd had a crush on me ever since her and her parents moved into the house beside me.

"We're moving next week!"

"Really? Why?"

"My dad got a new job in Texas." she said sadly.

"Aww. Well, I'm gonna miss you."

"I'm going to miss you, too..." She pouted her lower lip out. "I gotta get to class." she said reluctantly letting go of me. "Bye, J.J.!"

"Bye!"

I turned around to face Parker. He was staring into space. Probably didn't even notice my conversation with Rebecca.

"Dude, did you know that our school colors are black and gold?" He said finally snapping out of it.

"Uh, yeah… kinda.. We've only been wearing the black and gold jerseys every Friday night at football games since we were in third grade playing little league…"

"Huh.."

Sometimes I wonder if he really passed first grade.

"Anyway… Do you know where Trent or Travis is?" I asked

"I went by Phil's house this morning and Trent's truck was parked out front. Why?"

"No reason.."

"Dude they're not gonna do your science project for you. I told you not to take that class in the first place."

"They're not doing my science project." They've already did it. I added mentally.

"What was it on anyway?"

"Chameleons. Whatever that is."

Parker slapped his hand over his face and started shaking his head.

"What?" I asked.

He walked away.

"Parker." he kept walking. "Parker." still walking. "Parker." I started to follow him. "Parker." Step. "Parker." Step. "Parker." Step. "Parker." Step. "Parker." Step. "PARKER!" He spun around and I almost ran into him.

"WHAT!?"

"THAT'S WHAT I ASKED YOU. NOW CAN WE PLEASE STOP YELLING? WE ARE DRAWING ATTENTION TO OURSELVES. LOOK EVEN PEOPLE ACROSS THE LOT ARE STARING, OR LOOKING AT MY BUTT I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHICH ONE. SO CAN WE PLEASE LOWER OUR VOICES BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE ALL OF THIS ATTENTION… OKAY, WELL, YES I DO.. BUT WE STILL NEED TO STOP SHOUTING SO WE DON'T GET IN TROUBLE."

"Since when do you care about getting in trouble?" he mumbled.

"Since now." I whispered.

He rolled his eyes then walked away. I just stood there for a couple of seconds like a nerd, and then I followed him to first period.

A/N: PLEASE REVIEW:) THANKS!
