Chapter 3:
School
My eyes slowly fluttered open. I could here my alarm clock going off. It was time to get ready for school and take off for my run. I opened my dresser looking for a shirt I could where to school, that was decent. I ended up wearing a plain black shirt, it seemed to be the only shirt that wasn't ripped and dirty. I just picked up the first pair of jeans I found on the spot where I used to be able to see my floor.
I was walking down the hallway when I noticed Leah's bedroom door was open. She hasn't came home since she jumped out my window and took off last night. Surprisingly, I missed her...grouchiness. I know its only been one night but still. I don't even know why she left either, she wouldn't tell me last night.
Mom was in the living room reading the paper, like always. She waved and pointed towards the door. Normally when she did that, it meant I was running a little late. I took off towards the door ready to run the perimeter, I stopped by the tree in the backyard to put my pants and shirt on the branch, so I wouldn't ruin another outfit.
I dashed for the trees hoping to gain speed since I was already running late. I could hear Leah, she was still in wolf form.
Seth, is that you? I could here her keep thinking that and well, now I don't miss her that much.
Yeah, now where are you Leah?
Just don't worry about me. Today you don't have to run the perimeter, I did it about thirty minutes ago, so you good for today.
Why? Was all I could keep thinking. Normally Leah doesn't act this way.
Just go to school Seth. That was all she said before she was gone, she had changed back into human form so I couldn't hear her anymore.
I turned around hoping I wouldn't be late for school but I only had ten minutes until school started and it takes me about fifteen to get there. I stopped to change back and put my clothes on, and then I headed for school.
High school is a drag. I barely got there in time. It is our first day back from the Christmas Break so they gave us all new classes. I went to go check the class roster to see what classes I was in. I was hoping Lizzie wasn't in my class but of course Elizabeth Carddy, the new girl was in everyclass of mine which is worse. I went to go sit down at my lab table with Quil but yesterday he had told Embry he wasn't coming and just like I expected, he wasn't there.
I always work with Quil but Mrs. Cohen has been trying different partners lately so I have no clue who will be my partner today. It looked like we are going to be dissecting stuff, considering all the tools on our desk. I wonder what we are dissecting? Maybe a frog or possibly a pig.
I normally sit in the back row so I'm less likely to get picked on for answers. Not many people had shown up yet and well Mrs. Cohen was already five minutes late. She should be here by now.
From the back row I could see Mrs. Cohen enter the room, with a girl beside her. It must be Elizabeth Carddy. I couldn't see her face but she seemed to be athletic considering how her muscles are developed and she had long, light brown hair. She looks to be either a dancer, or maybe a gymnast. She seemed in shape, and well thats all I could tell from here. While Mrs. Cohen got situated, about ten more students entered the room, filling it. It looked as if Quil was the only one missing from class today, and I was the only one with an open seat beside me.
Apparently Elizabeth was shy, she didn't look up even once as Mrs. Cohen introduced her to the class.
"Everybody, meet Elizabeth Carddy. She is a transfer student from Daytona, Florida."
I could see her say something to Elizabeth and she just nodded in return. I could see her walking my way, obviously Mrs. Cohen had told her to sit by me, great. She went to lay her books down but looked up when she saw how big I was. Elizabeth had a good complexion, and rosy cheeks. She also had deep Brown eyes that looked as if they were, frozen. In general she had a pretty face. When she sat down, she made sure she was cautious. I could tell she was afraid of me. When she slid her chair over I wanted to slide over closer to her. I didn't want her to be afraid of me.
I was right about dissecting things. We had to dissect frogs. It was gross and just think when I'm in wolf form, I eat raw meat, and I thought this was gross.
"Ok class lets cut the chit chat and start dissecting these frogs." was all Mrs. Cohen told us to do and then she stepped out of the classroom. Apparently Elizabeth knew what she was doing, which was a good thing considering I didn't even know where to begin.
"Hi Elizabeth, I'm Seth." I tried to make it sound pleasant and it apparently worked.
"Hi Seth, you can just call me Lizzie." She seemed nice and polite so she couldn't be that bad.
"So your from Florida?"
She seemed to hesitate and then she answered while cutting our frog open,"Yeah, I've moved around a lot though."
"Would you mind me asking why?" I was trying to get a little info about her but she seems to be a very private person.
"Um its hard to explain."
I went to ask another question until I saw Mrs. Cohen enter the room again. School had passed by fast considering Lizzie was in all my classes.
All day I couldn't keep my eyes off her. The whole school day had pass and yet I didn't even know what time it was.
I was on my way home from school when I ran into Quil.
"Hey Quil!" I screamed trying to get his attention but he was gone before I could catch him.
I wanted to tell Quil about Lizzie but like I said he was gone before I could catch his attention. I went to turn down my street thinking he went that way when I noticed someone following me. It was Lizzie.
