A new country. New school. Same old problems. Great.
Mum and Dad say I should be happy, or at least trying to be, but I just don't think that they realise that we just moved -got chased- to Canada and that I just left my home, both my best friends and boyfriend behind.
So sure mum, I'll happily go to school, make new friends, join some clubs, hey, I might as well join a cheerleading team; yeah right.
I wonder what they're doing now? Are they missing me as much as I'm missing them? I doubt it.
The gravel crunches under my feet as I fume and storm towards the idiling car. Mum and Dad both sit in the front seat smiling encouragingly at me as we pull away saying things like 'it will be fine! You'll do great honey!' I roll my eyes and turn till I'm gazing out the window. They're like a pair of cute pups with that smiling look, it's alright for them, they haven't lost anyone in the move, just me, as always.
From their point of view it's great; we have a huge new house that backs on to a wild reserve with endless space to run in amongst huge pine forests and rolling hills, and a fresh new start for our secret. No suspicious people, and hopefully no one to ever know what we are: Wolfbloods, half human half wolves, incorrectly named as Werewolves nowadays.
My stomach sinks the further we get away from the forest and our home; no one knowing our families secret has a downside, no one to help me control it at school, and no teenager to know what I'm going through. Rhydian was the first person to ever make me feel normal at school and not need to worry or try and conceal who I really am. The pain of missing him slices me deep and hard, sometimes I wonder if he really was just a good dream. Lately without him here it feels like that.
Mum and Dad are cheery today; they heard rumours of a pack in the area and are going to check it out; meaning running free in the forests in wolf form, and here I am going to be stuck at school, life is so unfair! I don't even think they'll find much though; Wolfpack's are normally small and live alone to avoid tensions, and even if there were, no one can ever replace my old friends even if there are teen Wolfbloods in the area.
I sigh, head resting on the window, here's to an already horrible first day of school.
