It took me about 10 hours to phase back to being a human again. Then it took about 10 seconds for me to return to my furry side. Fucking Jared. Dumbass comes up and shoves me! Of course I'm going to get pissed! Sam had to keep me away from him with an alpha order. Yet another stupid part of turning into a horse sized wolf: the almighty alpha order. Anything good, old Sammy boy says is how things go.
I suppose its not all that terrible. I actually have a couple ounces of respect for the guy. He had to go through this shit alone and then had to deal with the curse of imprinting along with its repercussions, alone. Pissy ex, scarred imprint, the list just goes on! He is actually one of the only people I respect around here. And Emily. She has to deal with the three of us and still feeds us whenever we need. She is not so bad. Plus if Sam sees us disrespecting her we are not allowed back for two days. Obviously not going to screw that up.
Jared is not so bad. Annoying as hell, but at least he's someone else to talk to while dealing with all this. I had been out of school for a week and a half with the excuse of strep. Tomorrow would be my first day back. Jared was only out for like 3 days but he is a hell of a lot more calm than I am.
We were all sitting around Sam's table stuffing our face talking about it.
"Paul, Jared is going to be around you a lot more now. He will be the one you eat lunch with, talk with in between class, everything. Avoid the other students as much as possible. You are still to volatile to be freely interacting with everybody," Sam reminded me, yet again.
I just nodded my head that I understood. Jared and me were going to learn to be best buds. Speaking of which, "What am I supposed to say to my friends when they want to talk and hang out?"
"You just have to tell them you can't hang out with them. I know it sucks, but this is the way things need to be for now," Sam replied.
"Plus all your friends are assholes. Wait till you meet Kim, she's awesome," Jared said with this dreamy look in his eyes.
I just rolled my eyes at him. Yet again we were returning to the only topic he liked to talk about, the almighty Kim. I would be meeting her for the first time as well tomorrow. Yippy. Note the sarcasm.
I finished my plate of food. "I'm going to head home and make sure I have everything I need for tomorrow. See you guys later." I headed out the door, hearing a chorus of bye's from the others in the house. I really did need to make sure I had everything done and ready. Just because I sleep around a lot and act like an ass doesn't mean I need to be stupid. I actually have a 3.9 GPA. Stupid Math. I would have a 4.0 if it wasn't for the B that I'm getting in my College Algebra class.
I walked into my house and went into my room. Jared had been bringing me all my homework since I had been gone. I checked all my homework and made sure it was all done. I put all my books into my bag and put my bag by the door. I had to do patrol from 8pm till 3am. I decided I would take a nap until I had to leave. I set an alarm on my phone and flopped down on my bed. As soon as my face hit the pillow I was out cold.
The next thing I knew my alarm was going off. I rolled out of bed, took my shirt off, and headed out to patrol. I phased as soon as I hit the woods. I never thought that having my house right next to the forest would be so useful. Then again I never thought I would transform into an overgrown dog.
"You know you love it!" I heard Jared say in my head.
"Whatever you need to believe Jared. Get out of here. I'll seen you in the morning."
"Seen you then pal," Jared thought as he phased out.
It was rather peaceful running alone. I have never had any peace in my life. Between my suckish family life, stupid school, asshole friends. The list goes on. I ran my patrol until Sam phased in at 3. I ran home, said bye, and stumbled into my house. I went to sleep thinking about how much my life has changed just in the last week and a half and anticipating what school would be like.
