Lonnie was already having a bad day.

First, her roommate hogs the bathroom, so Lonnie only got a two minute shower before having to rush off to class. Second, she gets detention for running in the halls in order to avoid being late; consequently, she's late anyway because the teacher had to write her a detention slip. Third, Chad mocked her all through fencing practice, and Jay was too distracted by a pretty girl on the sidelines (although he seemed more interested in staring at a handsome boy sitting on a bench nearby. Just don't tell him she said that) to stand up for her. Finally, a boy she doesn't know slams into her; all she had to do was get her homework from her locker, go to dinner, and then she could spend the rest of the night in her dorm room.

The boy's chest collides with her shoulder, and her books and paper scatter. In surprise, she leaps back and bangs against the locker door, causing it to bounce off the metal locker beside it and hit her back once again. She rubs her shoulder blade, where she first hit the locker, and straightens her back to ease the dull pain around the small of her back, where the locker attacked her for a second time.

"I am so sorry!" the boy rushes to say, and Lonnie and him both kneel on the floor to gather her school supplies. They scrambled to stack books and collect papers without crinkling them, and they manage to keep Lonnie's books and school work intact, but when they straighten up, they bang their foreheads together.

Because this is just how these things work, right?

Lonnie flinches and rubs her head, watching as the boy does the same. The boy knits his eyebrows and scrunches his eyes closed in temporary pain before continuing to gather her supplies.

The boy is roughly her height, maybe an inch shorter, with wild, spiky hair that sticks up in every direction. He wears kaki pants and a button up, dark jacket with a white shirt underneath it. His attire reminds Lonnie of the Hogwarts uniforms in Harry Potter, except his tie is simply a dark blue. His skin is pale, and there's a scar across his cheek bone. She thought she saw a few more beneath his collar and sleeves, but he adjusts his clothes before she can get a good look.

The boy stacks her textbooks and slides a stack of papers between the cover and the first page of the top book.

"Sorry, I ran into you," he apologizes as he hands her the supplies. "I was trying to figure out this map, and I wasn't looking where I was going," he adds, holding up a rumpled bed sheet that may have once been a pamphlet.

"Are you new?" she asks, although that's kind of a stupid question (after all, why would he be using a map if he wasn't new? He was around her age, so if he wasn't a new student, he would've been attending the school for two years and wouldn't need a map).

The boy nodded, glumly.

Lonnie laughs. "Hey, don't look so depressed. This school is awesome, and it's easy to find your way around, but my suggestion is… get rid of the map. Those things make everything more complicated. Just ask students and teachers. They give much better directions than those bed sheets."

The boy chuckles at her terminology as he attempts to fold the map into its rightful pamphlet form before giving up and balling up the paper. He then throws it in a nearby trashcan and holds out his hand.

"I'm Lycan Heoruwulf," he introduces.

Her eyes widen. "That's a mouthful, and are you aware that your name means werewolf wolf-army?"

The boy chuckles, but Lonnie could've sworn she saw a bead of sweat pop up on his forehead.

"Yeah. My mom's favorite animal is the wolf, and my dad studies werewolves for a living, so my name was very much influenced by their likes and their jobs. What's your name?"

"Lonnie," she says, shaking his hand. "Li Lonnie," she specifies. "Daughter of Mulan."

Lycan laughs. "Are you aware that your name Lonnie means ready for battle?"

She raises an eyebrow. "I did not know that. You learn something new everyday."

Lycan smirks. "I guess you do. Now, Lonnie, how would you like to show me where the dining hall is?"

Lonnie shrugs. "I'd be happy to, but don't call it the dining hall. Only the teachers do that. Us students call it the cafeteria."

Lycan laughs. "Of course, instructor."

Lonnie rolls her eyes. "Come on, joker boy," she says, holding out her arm, like a prince awaiting to lead his princess away.

Lycan's only response is to let loose another laugh before linking his arm with her's and allowing her to lead him through the halls.

Lonnie didn't know it then, but when she took that boy's arm, she changed her life in ways she never thought possible, not all of them good.

And when her future self looks back on that day, she knows that she wouldn't change a thing.

That's the first chapter. You will see a lot of foreshadowing in the first few chapters because that's one of my favorite literary devices and foreshadowing goes quite well with the story.

Thanks for reading!
