American Teenage Werewolf

The Beginning of High School and other hairy situation

Chapter 1

A wise man used to say "When there's a situation, you face it and don't show fear." Well maybe he was a little off there. Because he probably didn't face the same "stuff" I did. You may never believe me, but I'm going to tell you about the story I turned into a werewolf.

It all started in the first day of high school. Me, David Blacken, was the new kid. I was sometimes one the popular guys in school, no wait, I was never the popular guy in school. Anyway it doesn't matter, cause I was going to make a difference.

You would say I kind of skinny but I not. I weight of 180 pounds, pretty good shape, 6' 3", brown hair kind of spiked up in front, and hazel green eyes. I'm 15 and live and well.

"Hey, Blacky!" called Chad, one of the popular kids, "Come over here!" I went over, hey what can I say, I knew I would be appected one day and Chad was one of those what do you call it a "jock" you may say or others say "athlete". Chad had blonde hair, a nice,handsome face, and a muscular body that would make you think Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone had a love child.

I got there, and just when you think stuff is going to work out it really was turning for the worse. "So freshman, are you going for the football team?" I was a football player. I'm a running-back, last season I rushed for 560 yds. for 39 attempts and 10 touchdowns. I guess I'm o.k.

"Yeah." I replied, then Chad show one thing that didn't go well with his appearance. His evil smile. It looked like a cat smiling.

He said something that was the last thing I wanted to heard, "Well, I guess we can give you the 'freshman who can't make a darn of a football player' treatment." Then he snapped his fingers and the two big guys next to him in school jackets grapped me and put me upside down and dumped me in the dumpster. I just knew it would get worse from here on.

For one and a half periods, I tried to get out. Squirming with the smell of rotten banana and apple core in my face. Intill I heard the sound of a angel called out to me.

"You know you're not suppose to yourself in the garbage." a voice called out to me.
"Edward?" I asked to make sure.
"Yeah!" he answered, "Who else would it be George Bush?"
The one thing you have to understand about Edward Mathews, he isn't like your every day guy. He was into stuff like werewolves, vampires, and ghost. I thought it was cool. But others didn't. He may act like a player but he was as bad as a Charlie Sheen wannabe.
"I just want to ask you one thing." I said still in the garbage can.
"What?" he asked as if you needed to.
"I don't know, how about GET ME OUT OF HERE!" I yelled. I really didn't want to have a banana Peel in my face any longer. He tried to pull me out but as usual. He couldn't lifted a 5 lb. dumbbell to save his life. He's not very muscular you can say. He weights about 130, is 5'11", and has spiked black hair, and bright blue eyes that are like the color of the sky.
"I can't do it." he said which is his line if he can really can't do it.
"Pull harder!" I thought he was making a excuse for something that was ridiculous. "Maybe if you did read so many comics and weighted up a weight, you could be the next 'World's Strongest Man'"
He did his fake laugh and pulled hard. This time I actually got out. We were on the floor when the real angel came by. My other friend, Luanne Carren. She went right to us as we were getting the smelly garbage off of us. Luanne was one of those could be a pretty heart tear your heart out girls, but isn't. She was 6'0", I have no idea what her weight is cause she never discussed it with us, but she looked fine, and has permed black hair on the sides.
"Why are you guys covered in the trash?" she asked
"Guess." I said giving the clue to her that the same thing happened to me every year in the beginning of school. I sort of was the one who was the thing what we all call the "first day prank". It was embarrassing, no matter what I did. I was always the first one.
"Come on!" she said like she always does. Her most popular words were "come on", "sure", and "cool".
"You can't absolutely think the whole school years is going to suck cause of this, do you?" she sometimes swears when she was annoyed.
"Sorry to burst the bubble, but Yeah!" I said. She starred at me like she was Clint Eastwood, all narrowed eyed. It was silent for five whole minutes. Then thankfully the bell rung.
Ed looked at his watch and said "Sorry to break the ice, but we got to go to third period class." Luanne and I were still staring at each other, like we seen each other for the first time. No for real that was actually what happened the first time. It was in the fourth grade i was run some stuff to the office and then I bumped into something. Papers flue around, then we stared at each other. Then got up both saying "sorry" at the same time. Alot of times. We both just grapped our papers and went our ways, that was how we became friends. She meet Ed then it was all finale we were the three musketeers. Now we don't remember that name, thank god!
"I guess we should."
"Must."
"Lets." then walked off with Edward. "Man, you guys are really hitting it off.'" Ed said at the wrong moment and wrong time, like usual again. I stared at him like I did at Luanne. He looked and gave up what he was about to say. "That's right." I thought, "Keep your comments to yourself, if you still want to go to college." We went on to our next class in silence.
