4. Unfinished Buisness
George
I walked into school and was greeted by an unsightly sight. Her poisonous tone rang in my ears. Three guesses who it was.
"You're a little bitch and you're gonna get what's coming to you." She hissed into my ear. I didn't respond, just flashed a sarcastic smile in her direction and carried on walking to lessons. But something was biting at the back of my thoughts - had she really done something? Had she told Jacob and my friends Quil and Embry and Sam and her brother, Seth? But the way Jacob bounded up to me with a huge smile on my face pushed the doubt away. "Hey beautiful!" He beamed and pulled me up into a big hug, again. I heard a horrible snigger as Leah walked past us and I watched as she turned back and returned the sarcastic smile I had given her just a few minutes before.
Jacob must have saw me frown because he turned to look towards her, her smile turned slightly sweeter and she lifted her hand as a wave. He waved back and turned to face me, curiousity in his eyes. I rolled my eyes at him and smiled, avoiding any questions his eyes thrown at me. I took his big hand in my small hand and we walked to lessons.
"Are you excited for out 'date' later?" Jake asked, his tone of voice changing to indicate the quotation marks over the word date. I heard footsteps catch up with us and three groans as they heard the end of Jacob's sentence. We both turned to see Embry, Quil and Jared pulling sicky faces at each other with their tongues hanging out. I couldn't help but snigger at how ridiculous they looked. Jacob laughed along with me.
"Grow up." He told them, squeezing my hand. Embry began to mock him and so Jake turned around and got him in a head lock.
"Fight, fight, fight!" The boys chanted, people storming out of the classrooms to see what all the fuss was about.
"Aw, come on Jake." I whined, trying to pull him away. He let go of Embry and we carried on down the hall, 5 minutes late to our first lesson.
The day went slow and as I was leaving the building, Leah ran into my path.
"Hey wizard," she spoke in her normal, loud voice. I tried to not let her get to me but my fists clenched by my side. "I'm just wondering, this little spell you have on my mind, you know, the thought blocking? Say if somebody special could read thoughts, do you think they could read my thoughts? I know you can only block me from the pack." She smiled, sounding sincere about her question but I couldn't help it, I laughed in her face, tears trickling down my cheeks. I could see how she was trying to stay composed but now her fists clenched by her sides, her teeth grinded together.
"Come on Leah." I took some deep breathes in before I carried on talking, trying to prevent more laughter from escaping. "Nobody can read thoughts, we're in the real world now!" Although living in a world with werewolf shapeshifters and wizards really didn't seem like the real world. She shrugged her shoulders and said nothing more to me, ran off into the woods and I heard the faint sound of her clothes tearing as she phased.
I put my hands in my pockets, puckered my lips and began to walk home whistling Regina Spektor when the little, paranoid voice in my mind began again. This was the real world full of wizards and werewolves and... vampires! How could I forget vampires? The other enemy of the wizard as we are more powerful than the two creatures combined! And what was it that vampires could have? Some sort of gift which could be a tracking gift, to seeing the future to... Reading minds. That's where Leah was going.
I froze on the spot, my world beginning to crumble down.
