It started on that hot summer's day; she could feel the heat blowing through her hair as she stared at the white, empty ceiling. Her name was Alexis, a 15 year old girl with the world ahead of her; though living in the small town of Pittsworth, it wasn't likely she'd get there. With no boyfriend and only a few close friends, she didn't exactly feel accepted in school. But she was only in year ten, with two more years before university, so she got up and started her day like any other.

She threw on her ugly brown and green uniform and did her hair up into a messy ponytail. She didn't bother with makeup because she had nobody to impress. She then exited her haven.

While on her way to the front door, she woke her brother up and told him to get ready for work. Their mother wasn't around much, having to support a family by herself and feed her alcohol addiction.

As soon as she left through the broken door, she walked to the school knowing that today there would be no difference in the ridicule she received on a daily basis. She sat on the stairs waiting for her cousin Chloe. You wouldn't have known Chloe was her cousin, with Chloe being a blonde, smart, independent girl, while Alexis barely passed with a C average and had jet black hair. There was also a difference in self-image, with Alexis being extremely uncomfortable with her weight and Chloe being confidant at barely 100 pounds.

As the first bell rang, signalling home group, she ascended the stairs and took a seat in the back by herself. It turned out that the few people she had been able to call friends were all out on a council day trip. Alexis had not been able to be on the council as there are only two people from each grade in student council. Chloe and a timid boy from the A class, Anthony, were the year ten delegates.

In all her random thinking, she was startled when the bell rang and she shot up like a bat out of Hell. She went to her first class, science.

"Today we will be studying metamorphic rocks, any objections?" the teacher, Mrs. Scar, asked with a smirk.

The one voice she did not want to hear shot back, "can we throw 'em at people?" Alexis looked back and saw Josh laughing with his mates about his supposedly hilarious retort.

Mrs. Scar just shook her head, knowing it wouldn't do much good to argue with her student. She explained that today they would pair up and examine every rock and try to name them. "And before any of you get any bright ideas, I will be choosing the pairs for today's assignment." Everybody groaned.

She started reading out names. "Sarah and Timothy...Kim and Aleisha... Alexis and Josh..."

Alexis was quite annoyed to say the least. She stood at the table marked ASSIGNMENT YEAR TEN and waited for her partner to join her. She started cataloguing the rocks and when she was just about done, Josh finally came up to her.

"Hey, I'm just gonna copy off you, ok?"

"No, that's not ok!" she said to him. "I did all of this work BY MYSELF and you did jack shit!"

He was starting to get angry at her, so she tried to walk away. He grabbed her wrist, so she turned around and slapped him. HARD.

Josh was shaking, he was so mad. He picked up the largest rock he could see and threw it, full force, at Alexis. She screamed in pain, "oh my god! I'm bleeding!" She ran out of the classroom as her teacher called for what was wrong. She ran to the office and immediately the office attendant was by her side. By this time Alexis's face was covered in blood because head wounds bled a lot. She soon fainted due to how dizzy the blood loss was making her.

When Alexis woke up, she was in the local doctors surgery (as she lives in a small town, you have to be air lifted to a hospital).

A light was invading her vision as the doctor tried to see if she was responding. She stirred. "Ugh, where am I..."

"Alexis? Alexis? Alexis, my name is Doctor Read. Now, you've had stitches put into your head, but other than that, you're fine. I've given your brother all the information, so once you regain your strength, you are free to go."

She waited until the doctor was gone and shot up, making herself even more dizzy. She looked at her brother, Reece. He was tall with dark skin and brown hair. While her skin wasn't exactly white, she was nowhere near as dark as him. You could almost tell that they weren't full siblings. In fact, Reece wasn't her sibling even a little bit. He had been adopted when her parents were deemed responsible enough to have a child.

Reece was five years old when Alexis was born. She was her daddy's little girl. That is, until she turned 6 and he died in a mining accident. That's when her mother went off the deep end. She tried for maybe a year, but couldn't find the comfort she needed in her children. So she turned to alcohol.

The only reason Reece stuck around, was to protect Alexis. He had a job, though, and was saving money to move out with her when she turned 16. So far he'd saved nearly ten thousand dollars from working since he was 15, doing odd jobs around town and working full time at the local pub.

Alexis got into her brother's car and they sped off toward home. The whole time in the car, she was fuming at Josh. No one said a word, but both Reece and Alexis could feel the tension surrounding the incident; their mother would surely notice the stitches on her head.

As soon as the car pulled to a stop in the garage, Alexis was in her room faster than you could say GO! She started throwing things around the room.

"Why me! Why does everyone have to pick on me? My life is hopeless!"

She grabbed her one vice, the New Moon book she'd received from her brother on her 13th birthday. She started reading it, and after a while she calmed down. She started to drift off, thinking about how much her life would be different if she was beautiful and thin like all the other girls.

I just want someone to love me for me, she thought to herself while shedding a tear. She wanted a guy who would comfort her and a guy that would love her no matter what. She wanted a werewolf.
