Wolves

Chapter Two: Detention

I've become pretty good friends with Jake, Quil, Embry, and Seth in the past few weeks. School calmed down after the first couple of days, although I have to say, even small towns have mean girls and dickhead guys. I pinpointed them a bit after getting here and can I just say, I cannot stand Renee Withers. God, I just want to punch her right in her mean girl face sometimes. Today was no exception. I was walking down the hall with Anna, a girl I've become pretty good friends with when I see a crowd of kids.

"Ah, Anna, go on ahead. I'll meet you in class." I say with a frown and walk off without her. When I get up there I push through the crowd and see Renee tormenting some poor boy whose name I can't remember right now.

"Geez, you're so pathetic." She scoffs, a look of disgust on her face. So, that's what everyone is watching. Queen bitch.

"I-I'm not..." He stutters. Poor kid must be one of her regular victims. I hate people who think they have the right to bully others. I could hear people whispering about it as he looks around at the crowd desperately.

"Oh, you aren't? You aren't what?" She mocks and shoves him down, "Wow, you're so weak!"

Due to her abuse, the others begin laughing as well. He begins to tear up upon seeing that and I shake my head, not seeing the boys behind me.

"Joke's over." I glare. I quickly walk up to her and shove her, causing her to drop her books.

"Who the hell do you think you are?" She yells looking at her textbooks before looking back at me.

"I should be asking you that. It doesn't matter if he's not as strong as some others, so what?! It is not your place to try to embarrass him like that!" I snarl at her and begin to shake slightly out of anger. I can feel my blood boil as it feels like the room is suddenly one hundred degrees. Breathe. Remember what your therapist said.

Nope. Screw it.

"Ahhh! Ow! Oh, my god! I think you just broke my nose! Did you see that, she punched me!"

So... Now I'm in detention. With some weird guy who just keeps staring at me. Since we got here, cleaning up the cafeteria, he's been smirking and glancing curiously at me. He's stared occasionally, but nothing else weird has happened. Apparently, he finally cracked though.

"So, I hear you punched Renee and broke her nose." He stops cleaning and looks over at me.

"Yeah, she deserved it though." I roll my eyes at him and continue cleaning.

"I agree. She's a bitch." He laughs, "Just know that 'queen bee' will be bringing her reign of terror down on you now. Be prepared kid, you just shoved your foot into a pile of shit."

"She can come at me with whatever she wants and it won't phase me." I say, some of my anger from before seeping back in.

"I don't know about that..." He mutters watching me.

Soon, Embry has stopped hanging out with me, Jacob and Quil. He hangs out with Uley and his cult now. I hate it. I don't see why he would do this. It makes no sense to me. I have to find out what is up with that. First however, I really need to figure out what was with that wolf and woman a while back. It has to do with something about this place because nothing like that ever happened back in California. I guess I can start there. I head to my computer and start searching for things about the history of La Push, but I can't get this Embry thing out of my head. Embry has become like a brother and not getting to see him is killing me. You know what? I am going to talk to the source about this. Sam is about to get an earful.

So, I hop in my jeep and drive to where they normally go cliff diving, only to find they aren't there. I frown and text Anna asking if she knows where Sam Uley is usually at.

"I know he cliff dives a lot and spends time at his fiance's place. I think he might live with Emily, I'm not sure. Why do you need to know?" She texts me and I chuckle. Sometimes, she is just like a protective mother goose I swear.

"I just need to talk to him about something. I'll fill you in later. Promise. Give me the address please?" I quickly respond and she sends me the address, telling me to be safe. I drive to that address and see Sam's car.

I walk up to the door and knock quickly. I honestly wanted to just beat the door down, but in case he wasn't here I didn't want to terrify some poor woman. My eyes widen at what I see when the door opens. There stands Embry, shirtless tattooed and with short hair. I was quite shocked. We stook in silence just staring at each other with surprise for several moments. I finally shook the shock off and straightened my posture.

"Al-" He starts to speak but I cut him off.

"Where is he Embry?" I glare at Embry unhappily.

"Where's who Alex?" He furrows his brows at me in confusion.

"Where is Sam? I have a major bone to pick with him, and don't think you're off the hook either because I'm pissed off at you. Right now, I'm so pissed I could murder a man and throw him into the pits of hell." I seeth at him.

"You should just go home Alexandria." I hear the deep voice of Sam Uley say from behind me. I turn to see him approaching from the direction of the trees which I found odd but quickly shrugged off.

"You. I want to know what the hell you have done to Embry! A couple of weeks ago he would never have hung out with you, now he's ignoring his friends to come over here? I don't think so. You did something." I glare at him, shaking a bit again.

"Alex, he didn't do anything, he's trying to help." Embry tried convincing me but I cut him off. As soon as I cut him off, I could see Jared and Paul approaching us as well

"No! I do not want to hear a word out of your mouth right now Embry! Otherwise, I'll make you shut up." I growl out angrily at him.

"But-" Embry tries to speak but I am having none of it as my shaking increases and I punch him in the face. The force of the punch should have at least make his face move to the side, but I guess I'm weaker than I thought. He stares in shock at what I'd done, and the pain coursing through my hand begins to sink in as I realize I can't move it well.

"I-I'm so- I gotta go." I say, stumbling over my words then running off towards my car. What have I done?

"Wait, you should have your hand looked at." Sam says and I sigh, realizing I'm not going to be able to drive home like this.

"Fine."
