A/N: Honestly... I wasn't really expecting this story to have any favorites or followers (it's not much but it means the whole world to me, thanks). Because the story seemed to loose it's main plot around chapter 7-present chapter, I'm gonna head back to it's roots: High School...
Back To School?
Idaho Hills
"Williams Manor"
Friday 10:45pm
Humphrey's P.O.V
I was so tired right now that I took a few 30 second naps to keep myself awake. Oh shit I just realized something...
"What are we gonna do about our cars?" I asked everyone in a slightly exhausted tone.
"They're already back at your garage." Winston replied.
"What?" I asked and blinked a few times. I think I'm a bit too tired.
"Some wolf in a tuxedo or something with a truck offered to take them. At first I thought he was gonna lift those cars off from you guys but he seemed to know you guys." Winston explained to me.
"Oh shit." Garth, Kate, Princess, Shakey, Lilly and I said at once.
We stopped by the driveway and found David standing by the door with a bent frying pan.
"Oh Lilly... you've stepped in it now..." Kate told her.
"Neck deep." I added on making Garth and Shakey laugh.
"Thanks for the help Humph." Lilly said while sarcastically laughing with them.
"Sorry." I apologised to her and rubbed the back of my head in embarrassment.
We got out of the truck and approached the doors of the mansion where David The Butler was standing.
"Oh Good Evening you little shits... how was your party?" He greeted. Yeah, here comes David The Asshole now...
"It was... eventful." I said grimly.
"Do tell." He said with a smug smile on his face.
"We'd rather not talk about it." Lilly said while walking into the house.
"Alright... mind talking about the bent pan with your perfume scent on it and why I woke up on the floor?" David asked her. We all gulped and took a step back.
Winston, Claw and Scar stood awkwardly in the corner and watched this dramatic moment.
"Aw shit, here we go again..." Garth said as David left the room, likely to fetch a shotgun... again.
He returned shortly but this time without a shotgun. Instead he brought a note. He handed me the letter and I read the note.
"The only punishment worse than death is..." David paused.
"... going back to school." I finished after reading the message.
"You're a real monster you know that." Princess said as she eyed the butler.
"It wasn't my decision, although I wish it was. Your sport's supervisor here requests you all to return to school, he will explain the details." David concluded by motioning towards Winston.
"But whyyyyyyyyyy?" Kate moaned.
"C'mon, be real about this. This is no life for a normal teenager... you said it yourself. It's time for you six to live a normal life." Winston explained
"Living a normal life will get the others hurt." Lilly stated.
"She's right, you know." Claw told Winston. Lilly sure knew how to prove a point even before an all out argument begins.
"Think about it: Marcus already knows us... he knows we're high schoolers somewhere in Jasper and that we do the same sport that his whole company puts most of it's funding into. It's only a matter of time before he finds out which high school does rowing in Jasper." She told him.
Winston was so blown back that he looked like he just got a brain cramp from trying to think of a comeback or a point that can atleast rival Lilly's statement.
"My word's final..." He finally spoke.
"What?! You know you can't win that!" Kate protested.
"Whatever, you're still going back to school."
Alex Rider: STAHP!
Blazin' Blitz: Save it till after the chapter, wait... what the hell are you doing here?!
Alex Rider: I don't know... \_(ツ)_ /
"So what exactly are we supposed to do do once we go back? Read a book?" Princess asked.
"Don't act like you aren't nerds, I already know you are." Winston told us before heading towards the exit.
"It ain't a bad thing ya know." Garth told him.
"Depends on how you look at it... and how others see intelligence." Winston said before leaving the mansion.
"What the hell does that mean?" I asked.
"You'll figure it out sooner or later, hopefully sooner. Anyway, I'm tired and and I need a shower... maybe a place to stay." Scar said while checking out the house.
I opened my mouth to say 'NO' but Lilly interrupted.
"Don't you have your own home's?" She asked them.
"Aha, funny story..."
Flashback
One Night Ago
Craig's P.O.V
I was on my way back to Selena's house from the check up (remember Scar got shot a couple of chapters ago) and it started off as a pretty good afternoon... until we found her house was up in flames.
"So... what now?" She asked.
"Oh well, mine isn't too far from here." I told her. It didn't take too long to reach my home. After parking the car in the driveway, I got out of the car and walked to the door.
As I reached out to grab the door handle, someone else opened up the door. A wolf in tactical stealth gear shoved me back and pulled out a knife.
I staggered onto the concrete pavement then unholstred my pistol. The wolf charged out from the house then I began shooting violently at the wolf.
One of the shots hit something on the other end of the door, followed by a'beep' sound...
End Flashback
Humphrey's P.O.V
"... and then my house got blown sky high." Claw concluded.
"So you basically nuked your own house?" Shakey asked him.
"Yep." He answered sounding somehow pleased with himself.
"And that makes you an idiot." Lilly told Claw.
"Exactly... wait, no!" Claw corrected himself. Garth and I snickered at Craig for being so ignorant.
"I'll just take whatever room is free..." Scar said then walked down the hallway. 'She seems to know her way around this place... that's kinda strange.' I thought.
40 Minutes Later
I was in bed with Lilly and we were just laying and looking at the ceiling as if we were staring at the stars. Something came up in my mind.
"Hey, can I ask you something?" I said.
"Anything." She told me.
"How is all this going for you? We all had a normal day of school just a couple of weeks ago then we decided to take some stupid water sport."
"Honestly, I don't really care anymore. As long as I'm with the wolves I love most, nothing can get in my way." Lilly answered.
"Can I ask you another question?" I said as a smirk formed on my face.
"Mm-hm."
"How could you manage to jump off a building twice but still can't swim?" I asked.
"Because I'm a one of a kind wolf." She told me.
"That you are." I said then pecked her lips.
"Now it's my turn to ask: What are you planning on doing after you're done with high school?"
"I think it's a little to early for me to have a solid plan but I was thinking I should go to an art college once I'm done."
"Jasper Greenside Art Academy?" She asked.
"Yeah." I answered.
"My biological parents thought I should give the school a try since they saw talent in my elementary art projects." Lilly stated with sadness in her words.
"I can't honestly say that I know how you feel in the sense that you've suffered more pain than I have-" I said then she cut me off.
"We've suffered enough together. I know what you feel and I know you do as I." Lilly said.
"Yeah... you're right." I said before closing my eyes and falling asleep.
Monday 06:45
Princess, Shakey, Garth, Kate, Lilly and I were walking to the garage where our cars were.
I tried opening the door but it was locked. 'It's normally left unlocked...'
"Going somewhere?" David asked out of nowhere
"School, obviously!" Shakey exclaimed.
"Can you unlock the door so we can get our cars and leave?" I asked him.
"No... from now on you all shall take the bus to school." David stated.
"You're mad! We live up in Idaho, how do you expect us to get to school in time on a bus?!" Garth retorted.
"Then I suggest you start waking up earlier." David said before walking off.
We all groaned and lazily walked to the front gate then started the long walk downhill.
"This blows..." Princess exhaled.
"Not as much as you." Shakey said. 'Too much sauce bro...' I thought.
"I'll be take that as a compliment." Princess said then flicked Shakey's forehead.
"Just what in the fuck is going on in your bed?" Garth asked Shakey.
"You're the one talk, I heard Kate moaning just the other day." He shot back.
"She was yawning!" Garth exclaimed.
"Yeah right." Shakey responded sarcastically.
Lilly and I began our walk down the road while the two couples behind us continued their bickering.
Jasper High
The Principal's Office
"Welcome back." Mr. Clinton greeted us.
"An it's a pleasure to be back." I told him.
"You don't have to lie Humphrey." He said to me with a slight grin.
"Yeah, you're right." I said while shifting uncomfortably in my seat.
"Is there a good reason for us to be back at school?" Lilly asked.
"It's not a good reason... but neither is it a bad one. Think of this as just your cover for now, after all, that party was... 'eventful'. Which brings me to another thing I wanted to talk to you about: Do NOT talk about that evening to anyone, I know teens like you often brag about your experiences but this is something you mustn't go around talking to on the streets. Understand?" Mr. Clinton concluded.
"Yes sir." We replied then got up from our chairs and went to our classes.

Six Days By DJ Shadow Ft. Mos Def (fullmix)
I entered my History class and sat down at my desk.
-At the starting of the week -
-At summit talks, you hear them speak-
-It's only Monday-
"Good Morning class today we'll be covering the Medieval Ages and Renaissance." Miss Furrn told us.
-Negotiations breaking down-
-See those leaders start to frown-
-It's sword and gun day-
I lazily pulled out my book and listened to the lecture.
-Tomorrow never comes until it's too late-
Tuesday
Shakey's P.O.V
I was standing in the cafeteria cue, waiting for my serving then a large wolf cut in front of me.
"Hey pal, I was in front." I told him. He slowly turned around then his large fist swung towards my face.
-You could be sitting taking lunch-
-The news will hit you like a punch-
-It's only Tuesday-
(What time is it?)
The hit was so strong I got forced onto the floor then all the wolves in the line dropped there food on me.
-You never thought we'd go to war-
-After all the things we saw-
-It's April Fool's Day-
(What time is it?)
I then felt a really odd liquid poor down my back.
"You rowers make me sick!" The wolf spat on me.
-Tomorrow never comes until it's too late-
-Tomorrow never comes until it's too late-
Wednesday
Garth's P.O.V
Humphrey and I rushed to the basketball court where we heard that's where the wolf who humiliated Shakey yesterday, hangs around during break times.
-Tomorrow is another day-
-Today is another bomb-
-Tomorrow is another day-
-Today is another bomb-
-Tomorrow is another day-
-Today is another bomb-
I tackled the larger wolf and repeatedly punched him in the face while Humphrey fought off the others.
-Fire!-
-Here goes a shot!-
-Escalation, devastation-
-Generation, separation-
-Situation, dissipation-
-Shot!-
Thursday
Lilly's P.O.V
Kate, Princess and I shared a Physics lesson just for today because one of the educators weren't here.
"Everyone, carefully place 2 grams of Torpex into the Nitroglycide and wait for the chemical reaction then I'll give further instructions." The substitute told us.
I watched Kate pour like a whole table spoon of that into the beaker then heard a strange sound coming from her direction.
-You hear a whistling overhead-
-Are you alive or are you dead?
-It's only Thursday-
(What time is it?)
Her whole desk went up in flames and the fire quickly spread across the lab.
-You feel the shaking on the ground-
-A million candles burn around-
-Is it your birthday?-
(What time is it?)
The class ran out of the ruined chemistry lab. Everyone eyed Kate as if she was the cat who ate the canary, she actually was.
-Tomorrow never comes until it's too late- (Get tomorrow on the phone)
-Trying to be smart, get tomorrow on the phone-
-Tomorrow never comes until it's too late- (I need to see tomorrow)
-You need to reach tomorrow-
An announcement went out informing the school that Humphrey, Garth, Seymour and some other wolves are having detention tomorrow afternoon.
-Think tomorrow's come I think it's too late-
Friday
Humphrey's P.O.V
I was sitting in the detention office watching the clock and waiting for the hour hand to reach 5 o'clock.
-Another day!-
-Today' is another bomb-
-Tomorrow is another day-
-Today is another bomb-
-Tomorrow is another day-
The bell rang then Garth and I grabbed our bags and walked out of the room.
-Bring it on!-
-Bring it on!-
-Bring it on 'cause there's goin' be shit tonight!-

The six of us walked into the mansion and went straight to our rooms.
"-How was your week?-" David asked through the mansion intercoms.
"It was shit." We groaned in response.
