School Life For A Teenage Werewolf

Chapter 3

School is dead boring

I am disturbed from my sleep by a knock on the door and a disgruntled shout to wake up. I look up to check my watch and it says the time is 7.00am, I slowly get out of bed and make a tired good morning to Alexis, I change into my school clothes and wash myself. Me and Alexis both leave our room and march tiredly to the dining hall. I am instanlly met with the overwhelming noise of about 1000 children chattering in a hall that was probably used as the ballroom back in time as you can see the delightful decorations and artwork on the ceiling. I look up to see the two signs above each counter , one saying Werewolves Only and the other Vampires only. I gaze over at the Vampire's counter and look at them being served blood in IV Bags with straws poking out and the NHS Blood Donation logo on the front. I am then served my breakfast of bacon, sausages , black pudding and scrambled egg; delicious. I then join Alexis who is already scoffing her's breakfast down like a wolf on a two seated table, I also start eating like her.

"Good sleep?" She asks with her mouth full.

"Yeah I suppose but I am tired" I reply.

"Yeah but we'll get used it".

We are then interuppted by my brother Gerald, a prefect who attends the University who is holding a piece of paper.

"Here is your timetable Little Cub" he jeers.

"I'm not a Little Cub anymore Gerald so please stop saying it" I reply angryily.

"Awww did I make Little Cub cry" he says mockingly.

I get up and grab his arm and twist it behind his back.

"Don't call me it again or I will break your arm" I shout.

"Okay looks like someone is a bit more fiesty and moody after their first transformation" he mutters.

I let go and he waves back at me, I sit down and continue to wolf down my breakfast. I finish and then check at my timetable, I look and see that I have Art with Miss Joy, then English with Mrs Iremonger for first two periods, I sigh as I love English and I will be missing part of it due to the fact that part of werewolf tradition is to visit younger siblings of a pack at second lesson to see how they are. My thoughts are interrupted by the bell signalling the start of morning lessons. Me and Alexis hand in our plates and cutlery and then walk to find our Art Class. After 10 minutes we find our class lining outside our class and the first person in line is...

"Alexis , Ruby what an annoyance that we are in the same classes"

Aurelie a vampire who is probably one of the richest children here, hates every werewolf here including teachers and likes to get her own way. She has pale skin like snow, lips like the blood she drinks and jet black hair. She always keeps her uniform in pristine and is the most popular vampire in the school.

"And the same to you" Alexis says spitting on the ground.

"You werewolves are so disgusting" Aurelie says bitterly.

We walk past with our heads up and wait at the end of the queue, next to some other old Primary School friends called Nathaniel, his girlfriend Jessica and his two friends Angus and Darren.

"Oh hey Ruby" Angus and Darren says simultanousely .

"Hey Ruby" Nathaniel says tiredly holding Jess' hand.

"Hey Guys" I say.

We then are greeted by Miss Joy a vampire who has short purple hair and is wearing a brown dress with black waistcoat.

"Right Class get yourselves in and sit down" she shouts.

We all march in and stand behind our desks, me next to Alexis and Darren and Jess and Nathaniel facing the opposite direction to us. We all say Good Morning to Miss, then we are granted permission to sit at our seats. Miss then tells some information about Van Gogh, tells us what are task is and then we are left to do our work.

I slyly turn my head to the overside of the classroom and peer over at the vampires, they have their backs turned away from them like some symbolic reason. I then hear the second bell signalling second period, I pack my stuff away and we are all dismissed. I walk with Alexis down to the main hall. When we get their I go over to my sister who is talking with Alexis' brothers.

"Hey Sis how is everything?" I ask.

"Good, although the vampires are all mean to us because they all can transform and everything" she replies.

"Well you tell them that makes you a bit less weird and freaky than them" I say encouragingly.

"Will do Sis" She says and gives me a hug "Love you Ruby" .

"I love you to Laura".

I then wave goodbye to her as I meet up with Alexis , Angus and Nathaniel who have visited their younger siblings. We walk back to lesson, knock on the door and enter into Mrs Iremonger's Classroom. Miss Iremonger has hair as black as the night , red eyes that sparkle under the light and she is wearing a dark purple dress.

The first thing I notice is the Iron Curtain that divides vampires to werewolves, were there are two to a desk and that no one looks at one another.

"Were have you four been?" Mrs Iremonger asks.

"Sorry Miss we just had to go and see our siblings" Nathaniel replies boldly.

"You are all Werewolves right?" Mrs Iremonger questions.

We all nod.

"Well go find a seat then" She mutters.

I can't sit next to Alexis so I make do and sit next to Jess. She has short brown hair and green eyes; a typical werewolf.

"Hey is it ok if I sit next to you?" I ask.

"Yeah sure" She replies.

I get my pencil case out;it is has little wolf eyes and a mouth, my Dad picked it out for me.

"I like your pencil case" she says enviously.

"Thank you my Dad got it for me but I don't really like it, its a bit babyish" I confess.

"Tell you what I will trade my Joker pencil case for yours" she bargains.

"Uh ok sure"

"Cool"

I take out all my stationary and so does says she needs to leave the room for a minute so she hopes we will be on our best behaviour. I am feeling so noisy that I start to listen into some of the vampires conversations, most are really dull like talking about favourite blood type and how much money they have.

"Is that mutt listening on our conversations?" One girl says, who I recognise as Isobelle from Primary School.

Instantly all the werewolves head turn to face her with expressions of near to ripping her head off.

"What did you just say?!" I ask angrily.

"I said stop listening into our conversations you mutt!" She says viciously, her fangs showing.

Most werewolf boys stand up including Angus,Nathaniel and Darren, fists clenched and fangs also showing.

"You should shut up fangy before I hit you!" Nathaniel shouts.

"Nathaniel STOP!" Jessica pleas.

"Aww is your ugly girlfriend trying to stop little doggy from becoming a fur ball" Isobelle hisses.

"What did you just say about me?" Jess asks, fangs pointed.

"Oh she said that your ugly fur ball" Aurelie sneers.

"Right that's it your DEAD!" Nathaniel shouts throwing a book at Isobelle's head.

"Ow!" Isobelle screams.

"And you don't call my best friend's girlfriend, ugly or a furball!" Angus screams throwing a book at Aurelie.

"Ow that bloody hurt!" Aurelie cries.

By this time everyone is up, with fangs out, staring down each other.

Suddenly Isobelle's twin brother Denis comes up and punches Nathaniel in the nose making him to bleed.

"Don't you hit my sister again you Mongrel!" Denis threats.

Nathaniel leaps and scratches Denis along the face causing him to scream in agony and fall to the ground.

By this time Aurelie's brother Alexandrie lunges at Angus but he dodges him, Jess' then grabs a book and wacks his head causing him to fall unconsious. Everyone is just about to fight each other when we hear:

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE! PUT ALL YOUR FANGS AWAY NOW!" Mrs Iremonger screams.

Everyone turns quickly around to see Mrs Iremonger standing at the door , her face tomato red and her hair messed up, discreetly everyone puts away their fangs.

"JESSICA BASSKETFIELD GO AND GET A NURSE FOR THE INJURED!" Mrs Iremonger booms.

"Yes Miss" Jess meekly says and scurries off outside of the classroom.

"Before you are dismissed I would like to find out other than Aurelie and Alexandrie Parkinson, Angus Johnston, Nathaniel Tegg and Isobelle Bentley who was involved in the incident?"

No one answers.

"Right well then everyone has a 2 hour detention afterschool tonight and if you don't own up by then it will be a whole week detention and I would like to see those 5 tomorrow, you may go" Mrs Iremonger says animalistically.

Everyone quickly rushes out and we all go to tutor. Miss Lancy is there in the middle of a speech and Thank God she is a werewolf! , with black hair (a bit darker than mine) , emerald green eyes and a brown pinafore dress similar to younger sisters, she smells like tea and Jaffa Cakes.

"Ruby Rawson are you smelling me?" Miss Lancy questions.

"Err yes Miss" I say sheepishly.

No one laughs, everyone just takes it in, it is just instinct; everyone does it at one point or another.

"So then Ruby what do I smell like?" she asks.

"Jaffa Cakes and Tea Miss" I mutter.

"Well at least I don't smell like the dead sheep I accidentally murdered and ate yesterday" Miss Lancy jokes.

Everyone smiles and we all sit down and listen to Miss call out the register, after everything that has happened I feel calmer as I go to break.

Its 3.00pm, the end of the school day well not for us. We all line up outside the detention room, everyone is staring harsh looks at one another, stares that could kill;literally. A random werewolf teacher named Mr Lupin appears and he opens the door and instructs us to go in. I sit next to the only 'survivors' of the gang Angus , Jessica, Alexis and Darren who are both deep in thought. We are allowed to do work but I have none so I get out my Hunger Games book and begin to read. After half an hour of reading I hear whispers from one of the vampire tables. I know that me being nosy got us all in detention but I can't resist the temptation to listen in.

"It was that mutt that did it" says one brown haired girl vampire looking at me.

"Yeah she was lucky she I didn't punch her" another one whispers.

"Should we beat her up after class?"

"Nah not unless you want the whole school fighting"

"I wouldn't mi-"

"Shhhhhhhh stop talking" Mr Lupin orders.

They then become quiet so I whisper to Jess, Angus, Darren and Alexis

"Hey are you mad at me?" I ask.

"Nah why would we be?" Angus whispers.

"Well I kinda did cause that fight" I say guiltily.

"No they did, they were the ones that called you a mutt" Jess replies casually.

"Oh ok thanks gu-"

"What don't you four understand about a silent detention?" Mr Lupin asks.

"Sorry Sir" We chant.

"Well times up anyways so I will escort you to the dining hall for your dinner"

We all get up and follow Mr Lupin to the deserted and ghostly quiet dining hall. We line up at the Werewolves Counter and we are horrified to find that we only get one slice of bacon and some mashed up carrots and parsnips. Feeling grumpy I sit next to Alexis who is not looking too keen on her food.

"One piece of bacon! I'm a werewolf for goodness sake, I'm a carnivore!" she cries.

"Yeah but I'm still starving" I say as I wolf down it all in a matter of minutes by this time it is coming up to 6.30 and bedtime is usually 8.00, so me and Alexis say goodbye to Jess, Angus and Darren and head down to visit Nathaniel. When we get their I see Nathaniel on one side of the room facing the overway to Denis, Alexandrie, Aurelie and Isobelle in a circle of beds talking they look up when I come in.

"Decided to come back and listen in to our conversation Ruby the Mutt" Aurelie spits.

"No I have come to see someone largely more important than you actually" I say bitterly.

Alexis spits on the ground as she usually does when she sees them just so she can make fun of their disgusted faces.

"Hey Nathaniel, how are you?" I ask politely.

"Bored, I have got nothing to do and I have to stay overnight with those 5 fangyies" Nathaniel say grumpily.

"What did you just say to me fleabag?!" Aurelie shouts.

"Watch your mouth young lady or I will be reporting you" Says an Irish Nurse who must be a werewolf.

"Sorry" Aurelie says sarcastically.

"No dear Nathaniel you will be going back to the dormitory tonight so I will leave you to get your stuff and go"

"Thanks Nurse Speckled-Star" Nathaniel says cheerfully

"No problem Nathaniel but try and keep out of trouble" she says smiling.

He gets out of bed and gets his schoolbag, spits on the ground by the vampires and walks with us.

"Right my room is on the second floor but thanks for getting me from that boring place well apart Nurse Speckled-Star" he say thankingly.

"How come you know her so well?" Alexis asks.

"Oh my parents and her are good friends!" he shouts as he runs down the corridor and out of sight.

"Well we better be getting ready for bed" I suggest.

"Yeah anyways race you back to our room" She say jokingly.

"Its on!" I laugh.

I of course win the race.

We get out of a school clothes and change into our nighties and each have baths, I then fall into bed and instantly fall asleep.

What a day.
