Every day of my life, I wake up and wonder if I really am normal. I'm different than your average girl. You see, when I go to school, I'm easily embarrassed by my own looks. All the other kids point and laugh when I come down the hallway. I'm never picked for group-work because everyone thinks I am stupid. The teachers seem to be the only ones at my school who care about me.

The students laugh about the way I sit because I have a tail. When I get angry I growl like a dog and when I'm lonely I howl like a wolf.

The main thing that sets me apart from other girls is that whenever I run, I am transformed into a wolf. I am a Wolf Girl. I think everyone of my kind is gone, so now I am all alone.

Sometimes, I pretend I'm happy by holding my head up high and keeping my tail up, but I can never hide how I really feel. Sometimes, when I'm sad, I whimper. I have no friends, nor have I ever had any, and I have no one to play with.

The day begins and I get out of bed, pulling the blankets back into place on my bed after myself. I then proceed to picking the dirty clothes off of my messy bedroom floor. I tend to keep my room a mess, it just feels more comfy that way. I quickly get dressed in my favorite outfit, being careful of my delicate tail. My favorite outfit consists of a light purple long-sleeved shirt and light blue pants with a hole cut in the back for my tail. I head downstairs and find my mom watching a documentary on wolves on the T.V.

"Hey, mom, no sign of my sister yet?" I ask.

"No, I'm afraid not," my mom replies, quickly turning the T.V. off and turning to face me.

My twin sister, Lillian, had run away a while ago and everyone has been searching for her. Some people suppose that she has died, but I believe that she is still alive out there. Yes, I had some rough times with her, but she is my sister and I care about her.

My mom gives me some directions and I follow, then I catch the bus to school so I can get a break from walking to school every day. The person sitting behind me in the bus pulls on my delicate golden tail. I look back and see this girl named Cornelia.

"Oww, leave me alone already!" I cry out.

"Ha, as if! Weirdo!" Cornelia calls out.

I pull my tail back up onto the seat I'm on. Everyone on the bus stays as far away from me as possible.

"If only someone would sit by me," I say, all bummed out.

We make a stop at a street corner and a new kid gets on the bus and looks at me.

"Would you sit by me?" I ask the kid.

The kid nods and sits by me. Finally, someone to sit by. I hope I make a good first impression.

"So, what is your name?" I ask the kid.

"Link," the boy says, holding his left hand out.

This kid doesn't appear to be able to afford very good clothing as I can tell by looking at his patchy outfit. There is only one sleeve and it is green while the rest of his outfit is mostly tan. Though I don't really mean to be judge-mental. He looks like a really nice kid.

"Nice to meet you Link, I'm Timber," I say.

I shake hands with Link.

"Oh, look! Weird girl is trying to make a friend! Let's ruin it for her!" Cornelia yells.

"Oh no," I say.

"It's okay; I don't think you're weird," Link says.

"Thanks, Link," I say.

Then I think to myself, 'he will think I am weird once he gets to know me better.' My face turns a little red when I think about that. Link pats my shoulder. I try to control myself, but my tail starts wagging uncontrollably.

After awhile, we arrive at school. I try to hide my tail from Link by quickly shoving it into my pants. My ears are hidden in my hair.

"What are you doing?" he asks me.

"Nothing," I say, turning red.

"Well, let's get to class then," Link says, leading me out of the school bus.

"Hey, are you really going to hang out with that reject?!" one of the other students asks Link.

"She is not a reject; she seems perfect to me," Link says, defending me, but what if he learns about my secret?

We go inside the school building and find out we have the same classes at the same times. Maybe he can sit in the empty desk next to me.

We enter our first classroom and the teacher, named Mr. Horwell says, "Oh, a new student! How wonderful! Now Timber won't have to sit alone anymore!"

My tail comes back out of my pants so I quickly take a seat to hide it.

"Okay, students, we must welcome our newest student to our classroom!" Mr. Horwell says excitedly.

Link heads to the front of the room to talk about himself.

"My name is Link. I live in Ordon Village and I help take care of the goats," Link says quietly and slowly.

"Okay, Link, you may sit in the desk next to Timber!" Mr. Horwell says, still excitedly clapping with a huge smile on his face.

Link looks at me and asks, "Is he always like this?"

"Yes," I say.

Later in class, Link hands me a note.

Mido raises his hand and says, "Teacher, Patch Kid is giving notes to Tailed Freak!"

Mr. Horwell says, "Mido, how dare you try to interrupt the lesson with things that don't matter?!"

Link looks at me and asks, "Why did he call you that?"

"Ignore him, he is a big meanie," I say, turning red.

"Okay..." Link says.

Later that day, Link comes up to me and asks, "Did you read the letter?"

"Oh, I almost forgot that!" I say, remembering the letter.

"You could read it now," he says in his usual quiet, slow way.

So I read the letter it says, 'Do you like wolves?'

"Yes, I love wolves," I say to Link.

"Okay, just wondering," Link says.

Mido comes down the hallway glaring at us.

"Is he always like this?" Link asks me.

"Unfortunately," I reply.

"You freaks! Stop talking about me! I really hate you!" Mido screams.

"Well, are you ready for lunch?" I ask Link.

He nods his head and I take him to the lunch room.

Cornelia sees us walk into the cafeteria and calls out, "Look, the timber wolf found a boyfriend!"

The other students turn and look at me. Link looks a little confused.

Then suddenly everyone is trying to throw food at me. I dodge a lot of it because of my great wolf skills. Unfortunately, Link is now just staring at me. I'm down on all fours with my golden wolf hair and everything. My forehead grows really hot and makes a burning sensation. Everyone gasps and runs out of the building except Link who is still staring at me.

"Sorry, Link! I didn't mean to scare you!" I bark at Link.

"Timber, it isn't that. It is your Triforce that worries me," Link responds.

"What is a Triforce?" I ask Link.

He pulls a glove off of his left hand and reveals a golden mark shaped like a triangle made from three other triangles. Only one of the smaller triangles is glowing though.

"I thought it was impossible, but it looks like we share the same Triforce," Link says.

After that, I'm sent home early with a note saying that the next time I go wolf on everyone I will be kicked out. My mother isn't very happy about that so she goes to the school to complain. I'm brought with her into the chaos.

Most of the conversation goes like this, "Please, give Timber more time! She can't help doing her wolf thing!"

"I'm sorry, her fanatics are getting in the way of the other students learning!"

"But you must understand, the other kids have been so rude to Timber!"

"Someone said Timber was trying to bite them!"

"Who said that?!"

"Mido, our most trusted student!"

"Why don't you trust Timber?!"

"We can't trust wolves, they are sneaky and dangerous!"

"Not Timber, she is a very well behaved student if you give her a chance!"

"I didn't say I was kicking her out now!"

"But you threatened it!"

"I said if she does that again!"

"Leave Timber alone! She just needs some friends!"

"Please, get out of here!"

"No, why would we?!"

"In case that good-for-nothing daughter of yours goes wolf on me!"

"She's not going to!"

"Prove it!"

"Timber, tell your principal why you shouldn't be removed!"

I just sit there with both furious ladies watching me. I whimper a little and make my best puppy face.

The principal frowns at me then turns back to my mom, "One more time and she is expelled!"

My mother and I walk out of the room, my tail tucked between my legs.

The next day, I go to school knowing that I could get kicked out. I ride the bus just so I can sit with Link, though at this point, it seems pointless.

"So, Timber, what have you been up to? I had to ride home all by myself!" Link says to me when he gets on.

"I got sent home early because I went wolf on you guys," I say, not looking at him.

"Wow, I never even knew you could do that!" Link says.

"I tried to hide it from you because I thought you wouldn't like me any more," I say, finally looking up at Link.

Link looks very sad, I can see it in his blue gray eyes.

"I was told that if I go wolf again, I will be kicked out of school. I guess after that happens to me, I won't be able to see you ever again," I say.

"Timber, how did you make it through middle school and elementary?" Link asks.

"I guess I was just brave enough to make it through, no matter what people thought of me," I say.

"Yes, you used your courage to do everything without minding what everyone else thought," Link says, patting my back.

My tail wags a little. We arrive at school and everyone runs and screams when I get off of the bus. Link growls at them and I'm not sure if he's teasing me or not. I continue on to class when I am stopped by none other than Mido.

"What do you want!" I growl at him.

"I thought I might as well tell you... today is your last day of school!" Mido says, raising his voice a little.

"Oh, really? It is bad enough that you made something up just to get me in trouble in the first place!" I say.

Usually, I'm a rather shy person, but this boy is really getting on my nerves.

"I will make you look so bad no one, not even the reject Link, will ever love you again!" Mido yells.

I growl at him.

"And by the way, you better watch your tail! I might want to cut it off with a chainsaw one day!" Mido says.

"Why do you hate me so much that you would kill me?" I ask.

"Because, I hate wolves! They have ruined everything in my life, and now, I have to deal with you!" Mido screams.

The bell rings and I slip past him to the classroom.

"Hey, I wasn't done talking to you yet!" Mido screams.

I take my seat and Mr. Horwell asks, "Timber, where is Mido?"

"I think he's outside the door talking about useless junk," I answer.

Mr. Horwell opens the door and picks Mido up, "There you are! Come take a seat!"

"Hey, you didn't have to pick me up! I can walk just fine!" Mido screams.

All the other students laugh because he had to be carried into the classroom. After my classes are over, I go to lunch. This time, I don't have to worry about flying food because Link is protecting me so I won't be kicked out of school.

Then, when we are outside, I just hang out with Link. Mido comes walking across the field towards me.

"What do you want from me Mido?" I ask.

"I am going to make you go wolf on me!" Mido says, smiling at me.

"Oh, no!" I say.

Link steps in front of me and says, "Leave the girl alone!"

"No, you both are rejects!" Mido screams.

I'm getting really fed up with this boy, I think that's his plan.

"Hey, wolf-face, do you think you are faster than me?! Come chase me!" Mido taunts.

Link is trying to restrain me, but I really feel like tackling that boy.

"Nee nee nee nee nee, nee nee nee nee nee nee!" Mido taunts.

I growl at him. It's when he slaps me that I totally lose control!

I go wolf on him! My golden fur blowing in the wind. My Triforce reappears on my forehead. I bare my teeth at Mido.

"Ahhh! Somebody save me! Timber has gone wolf on me!" Mido screams.

I chase him all around the basketball court and down to the soccer field. Then, I'm stopped in my tracks by none other than my principal!

"Timber! Why are you chasing Mido again?!" the principal asks angrily.

I'm still standing there froze with terror.

"He was taunting me so I chased him down, I promise I've never done this before!" I say, trying to keep myself out of trouble.

Mido is pretending that he's limping and injured.

"Mido! Are you okay?!" the principal calls out.

"No, Timber injured me!" Mido lies.

"Timber! Why don't you pick on someone your own size or no one at all!" the principal yells.

"I didn't touch him though!" I say.

"Timber! Get out of my school and out of my sight! I do not want to see your face here ever again!" the principal yells.

I see Link running over from across the field to see me. 'How did the principle even get out here so fast?' I wondered. Then I see Cornelia standing by the door with a smirk on her face. Link arrives just in time to see the principal whip me really hard.

I howl in pain and try to run away. Then I'm struck a second time and that's when I flee to save my life.
