"Lizzy, Wait

"Lizzy, Wait! You forgot your lunch." Mom calls from the kitchen window. I run back to the window where mom laughs as I try to catch the drop lunch bag. I grab it before it hits the muddy ground and blow a kiss to mom. " I gotta go or I'll be late." And I run off along the road towards school. It takes seven minutes at a casual stroll to get to La Push High. But, if I run hard, I can get there in three. Just as I reach the school steps the bell rings. I quickly stash my bag and grab my books from my locker and slam it shut. I run to homeroom and I sigh happily when I see that Mr Greot is late I go to sit next to Sadie and quickly copy the science homework off her. I was just about finished when a ruler hits my desk. Hard. I jump out of my chair and see Mr Greot looking down on me. "well, well, Miss Black. Care to tell me why you needed to copy off someone else when you should have done this work two days ago?" "oh crap." I mutter under my breath. I was then given a lunch detention and, later, in geography, The assignment that was given to me three weeks ago and was due today had just slipped my mind. I managed to score myself a afterschool detention as well. The day just got worse because I was starting to feel really, really warm even though it was the middle of November. Although I wasn't sweating. I worried that this might have something to do with my father having once been a werewolf . I had always been a few degrees to warm. But I felt like I was inside an oven. I frowned and headed to my lunch detention with Mr Greot.

When I got home I found dad was home early and he and mom were watching a movie in the living room. I walked in and sat on the small armchair in the corner. I swung my legs over the arm and tried to work out what the movie was. Suddenly dad turned to look at me " how come your home so late?" he asked. " I'm being held against my will for hours at a time for forgetting to do my homework." I replied dad laughed so did mom " like father, like daughter" she said. I mentioned I felt really hot and dad immediately walked over to me and touch my forehead. And then my arm. With a shocked expression on his face he walked over to mom. They started to talk quietly to each other all I could make out were names and "werewolf" suddenly they stopped talking and sighed. " like father, like daughter" she muttered.
