2-What's Happening
The sky was black and the stars were hiden behind grey clouds in the night sky. Trees swayed from side-to-side in the midnight breeze. Three teenagers were lying about, over the grassy area and the old wooden benches. Chatting amoungst themselves like they had at school that day.
"When are you going to tell her?" Geoff asked, staring up into the night sky, not taking his eyes off the darkness.
"I don't think I can." Duncan replied, rolling over onto his stomach beside the bench Geoff was lying on. Duncan was still pissed that Courtney had broken up with him, but he hadn't told the others that yet.
"She deserves to know the truth." Bridgette told Duncan, thinking about her best friend who was being kept in he dark. Before Duncan had a chance to answer, the goth girl jumped down from a nearby tree, yelling at the punk.
"It doesn't matter anymore does it, Duncan?" Duncan hoped to his feet to face the angry girl.
"Stop reading my head, Gwen." He growled at her.
"Back up!" Bridgette said, pushing in between the two. "What's happened?" She asked. Gwen, after staring at the punk for a few more seconds turned her head and laughed.
"Duncan and Courtney are no more." She announced. Duncan death glared the chic harshly.
"What did you do?" Geoff asked, swinging his legs over the side of the bench.
"She didn't want me to keep anymore secrets, but I have to." He said, knowing that they already knew the last part.
"You can't expose us for what we are, Duncan." Bridgette whispered, scared of the stupid thing Duncan might just do.
"An what are we?" He asked, looking up to view his friends. "FREAKS IS WHAT WE ARE!" He screamed, his eyes lighting up red and throwing his fist into the trunk of a tree.
"Cool it." Gwen told him, pulling his arm away from the tree.
"Duncan, you need to control your anger." Geoff explained, patting his best friend on the back. "We can't risk getting caught." The delinquent knew they couldn't get caught. He knew Gwen was right, he had to cool down.
Before the four teen's knew it, a big ball of brown fur was running towards them. They knew better than to be scared of Trent in his wolf form, though. As he reached the group he transformed back into his human skin and landed on two feet, not four.
"Guys." He panted breathlessly. "We have a problem." The others already knew the problem.
"We can't help the way we were born, or who our great great great ancestors were." Bridgette told them, trying to brighten the moods of her peers.
Gwen let out a high pitched scream, her eyes glowing red, just like Duncan's had. Trent, her boyfriend, wrapped his comforting arms around her small frame.
"You have to watch your eyes." He whispered in her ear. The others ignored Gwen's little break down, they were used to it.
"We need to figure out how we're gonna hide it this time." Geoff announced.
"I can't believe this is happening again." Bridgette cried. Geoff warped his arm around her shoulder to comfort her. Duncan watched enviously, wanting to be able to wrap his own arms around his own girlfriend, but he couldn't.
"It's Taylor she's brought it back with her." He told them.
"It doesn't matter how its happening." Trent said, releasing Gwen from his grips. "It's just, it is happening again." Duncan wasn't having any of that though, his eyes lit up again and he grabbed Trent by the collar.
"Okay, listen wolf boy!" Duncan spat at him. "I was just getting used to a normal life, again and now this has happened." In stead of trying, and failing, to pull the two boys apart, wen tried to tempt Duncan.
"I'm going for a hunt! Coming, Duncan?" Trent and Duncan stared deep into each others eyes, until Duncan pushed him away.
"Yeah." The punk and the goth were gone with the blink of an eye.
"What's got him worked up?" Trent asked, once he thought the two were out of ear reach, rubbing his neck to seas the pain.
"Courtney finished with him for keeping secrets." Bridgette informed him. Geoff let out a sigh.
"He'll have to tell her." He told the remaining two.
"Geoff, he can't. What if she tells?" Trent asked, worried that he would be exposed for who he really was.
"Who'll believe her?" The cowboy answered. "Who'll believe her?"
Duncan steadied himself on the branch before tapping on the open window.
"Hey, Princess." He said, making the girl jump in her seat. When she realized who it was she scowled t herself. Duncan was the last person Courtney wanted to see.
"What do you want Duncan?" She moaned, slinking over to he windowsill where Duncan was resting his arms.
"I wanna talk." He told her, as if it wasn't obvious enough. The CIT sighed.
"I thought I made it pretty clear earlier, I want nothing to do with you." Courtney went to shut her windows, but Duncan pushed them back.
"I want to give us another chance." He told her.
"That's not your decision, it's mine."
"So, what have you decided?" He pestered.
"Goodbye, Duncan."This time, when Courtney pulled the window closed, Duncan moved away. Letting her lock him out of her life.
"Why don't you tell her the truth?" Taylor asked. When Duncan looked down, his annoying cousin was leaning against he bark. Duncan let out a snarl, showing how much he detested her.
"Get out of here Taylor!" He yelled quietly. "You've caused enough trouble!" Taylor didn't seem phased by Duncan's accusation, maybe because she knew it was true?
"I've seen it." She replied. Duncan death glared his cousin and jumped from the tree to the floor, landing on his feet as he did so.
"You couldn't have, it's not gonna happen." He informed Taylor.
"She will take you back, I know she will." Taylor ignored everything Duncan was firing at her, she didn't seem to care what he was saying.
"You can't be trusted!" Duncan shouted. "This is all happening because of you." At that, the punk walked away from his cousin, leaving her standing, smirking, on Courtney's lawn.
A/N: I think it's starting to get clearer and clearer as to what the secret is...if it isn't, next chapter-maybe the one after that-it will be.
