A/N: Sorry for not updating in a LONG while, Happy NewYears! It is officially 2014! Enjoy!

Previously:

Just when we were about to leave, the phone rang. We all glanced at it with concern. The Smiths have been gone for a year, who would be calling? None of us moved until Maddy waddles over to the phone. On the fifth ring, Maddy finally reaches the phone and answers. "Hello?" She says, uncertain who it is.

I hear a slight disturbance of a voice on the other end. I can't hear what they are saying, but Maddy is smiling. "Thank you," She says and she hangs up...

"Well?" I ask, concerned who it was.

Maddy's Pov:

"That Rhydian was Mr Jeffery." I said with a slight smirk on my face.

"Meaning?" I swear sometimes it is as if Rhydian has sea weed for a brain.

"Meaning..." I pause adding effect, Tom just rolls his eyes,"... guess who is going to school tomorrow!"

Glancing over I see Tom, acting somewhat happy, hiding all of his excitement. All the while Shannon is squealing, estatic to have her friend back at school. It seemed as if the tense clouds that were a few minutes earlier covering us, magically lifted.

Then all of a sudden my moment of rare happiness was busted replaced my confusement. Still sitting in his chair is Rhydian, his focus distance, his posture tense. "Rhydian?" I ask, slightly alert, "something wrong?"

For a moment he doesn't respond. I look out the window to see what he is staring at but only see the dense forest surrounding the house. I waited a few seconds to make sure he wasn't hesitating a response. After a few seconds more I got worried and poked him. "Rhydian?"

All of a sudden he snapping his focus back on my eyes. "Maddy, you can't go to school." The way he says it so certain and fast.

"What?" Anger mixing with hurt filled my chest," And why not?"

"Mads, do you not remember what happened the last time I got back from the wild and went to school right away?" I flinch at the memory of what happened.

Flash Back:

We were all around the fighting mats watching the three K's crowd around Jimi, hitting them with all of there might without breaking their nails. We all had a good laugh after that one.

However, then girls may have just increased Jimi's temper, for the next moment I know he is asking Rhydian to fight with him. For a moment I am confused by the spontaneous request, but remember what lesson we were in.

Rhydian and Jimi were wrestling around, arms locked, when Rhydian flings Jimi to the ground. Rhydian notices he is getting rounded up and heads towards the doors.

"Come back here and fight me leek boy." Jimi taunts. That was the boiling for Rhydian for in a flash he was beside Jimi. After a deep growl, Rhydian picks up Jimi and throws him across the mat.

I was shocked at Rhydian's sudden outburst, ready to help him escape if he starts to wolf out, but he just heads out the doors.

End of Flash Back:

"Yes, I think I remember perfectly clear." agitation gnawing on my mind.

"Well then, you know perfectly well why you shouldn't go to school immediately." He added with a shrug at the end.

"Rhydian, the best and fastest way for me to go back to being tame is to going to school. The chances of me losing my temper are slightly increased, but not enough to make it any different?" He just stared back at me with unconvinced eyes.

"Besides, even if I do 'loose it'," Putting my fingers up," the three of you will be there to stop me." Rhydian was about to interject until Shannon piped up. "She is right Rhydian, she will have to go to school sooner or later. And I am rather convinced to sooner."

Rhydian let out a final exhale before responding, "Do you really think you can handle it though?" sincerity laced his voice, "I mean it took me enormous amount of restraint to stop from wolfing out and that was just a few months in the wild."

I give him my signature smile before replying, "Rhydian, I'm pretty sure if I can handle the three K's normally, that I can handle anything with a temper." The ends of Rhydians mouths were twitching at an attempt to hide his smile form my first part, Which he isnt really hiding really well.

"Fine!" He gives in with a dramatic sigh, "Just don't say that i didn't tell you so." Even though his face is tense and serious, hi sparkling eyes tell me a different story.

"Yay!" Shannon shout before picking up her coat," Now can we please go shopping?" She says with a slight whine in her voice.

I nod, as well all gather our belonging and set out through the door to town.
