School Life For A Teenage Werewolf

Chapter 4

Justice Day

I am disturbed from my sleep by a knock at the door, I climb out of bed and pull on my dressing gown. I open the door and see a smiling ginger haired Howling Wolf prefect who must be Monica and behind her is a brown haired Blood Fang prefect who is scowling at me who must be Liliya (My brother told me about both of them)

"Are you Ruby Rawson?" She asks.

I nod.

"You be required to see Miss Crawford after breakfast replacing your first lesson of English" says Monica politely.

"Ok we I will be there" I reply.

"Yes and your going to be in big trouble" Lilyia sneers.

"Professionalism Liliya, your a prefect now aren't you mean't to be finding the others from your house" Monica replies annoyed.

"I almost forget" Liliya says sarcastically and struts off.

"By the way, I was not told by Mrs Iremonger that I would be punished" I ask confused.

"Oh well she was informed all right"

Aurelie or Isobelle probably I think.

"Ok thank you for informing" I say nervously.

"No problem and good luck" she says holding my hand, not even giving the slightest comfort but making me even more anxious, I close the door as she walks away.

"What was that all about?" Alexis asks already fully dressed.

"Don't even ask" I reply "Oh and by the way your jacket has some mud on it" I point out.

"What" She looks down "Oh damn how the hell did happen" she remarks.

"Only God knows with you" I giggle.

I get dressed and we make our way down to the Hall. We line up for our breakfast and I am served the same as yesterday but instead the scrambled egg is replaced by hash browns. I sit next to Alexis and we both massacre our breakfast silently. I am startled to hear the bell ring, everyone starts packing up.

"You'll be fine" she says hugging me, giving me a little sense of reassurance. We both howl like wolves and get some dirty looks from some of the vampires. I grab my bag and walk down the corridor seeing Jess, Angus and Nathaniel.

"Hey" they say sheepishly.

"Hi" I reply.

We walk together in silence to Miss Crawford's Office and see Alexandrie, Denis, Aurelie, Isobelle, Liliya and Monica are sitting outside her office. We sit next to Monica and silently wait for Miss Crawford. After what seems like an age she finally appears from her office.

"Come in" she croaks.

Monica and Liliya lead in and we follow. We also stand patiently until are allowed we sit down.

"Now" she starts "HOW DARE YOU CAUSE A FIGHT IN A CLASS!" everyone jumps at the sudden outburst.

"YOU ARE ALL A DISGRACE TO THIS SCHOOL! YOU HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS DAMAGES TO YOUR PEERS" Aurelie starts crying and I feel I might any second to.

"NATHANIEL TEGG, SCRATCHING ANOTHER PEER'S FACE? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? YOU ARE NOT A CAT!"

"I-I'm s-sorry Miss" he stutters.

"WELL YOU BETTER BE SORRY! JESSICA BASKEFIELD CAUSING A BOY TO FALL UNCONSIOUS FOR CALLING YOU UGLY? ISOBELLE AND AURELIE THE LANGUAGE THAT YOU SAID TO ALL OF THEM IS ABSOLUTELY APPALING AND DISGRACEFUL! I STATED THE DAY BEFORE THE RULES ABOUT BAD LANGUAGE LIKE THAT! ALEXANDRIE, ANGUS AND DENIS GETTING INVOLVING IN THE FIGHT MAKES YOU KNOW BETTER YOURSELVES. AND YOU RUBY RAWSON THE CATALYST THAT SPARKED A FIGHT AND THEN YOU ONLOOK YOUR FRIENDS DEMISE! I WILL NOT TOLERATE NOSEYNESS IN MY SCHOOL AT ANY LEVELS DO YOU HEAR ME? WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELVES!"

"Sorry Miss" we chant blankly.

Monica and Liliya are sitting there blankly.

"You may all go" Miss Crawford blurts out.

We silently get our bags and walk out, we have missed our chance to see our siblings which has made us even more all remain silent as we walk to our class of History. We knock on the door and apoligise for being late to lesson. We spend the whole lesson in silence and just do our work. We arrive at tutor on time, Miss Lancy tells us to meet at 5pm in the dining hall for what is going to happen. I realise that tonight is a full moon and it makes me reassured I get a lay in. We are then dismissed and go to break. I meet up with Alexis in the gardens.

"So how did your thing go?" she asks.

"Awful she shouted at all of us" I say sighing.

"Oh well cheer up its a full moon today!" she says cheerily.

"Yay aren't I excited" I say sarcastically.

"Oh isn't someone a moody cub today?" Alexis teases.

"Don't call me that!" I shout pushing her into a puddle.

She gets up and pushes me in and we both start laughing. We both then make our way to the toilet to cleanup and then make our way to Science. Me and Alexis are put next two werewolfs called Zofia and Megan, who are obviously new , by Mr Lupin. They are quite quiet but we manage to spark up a conversation.

"So what do your parents do for jobs?" Zofia asks.

"My mom is a teacher and my dad is an account" Megan replies.

"My parents are nurses" I say joining in.

"Mine are bankers" Says Alexis sounding really 'excited'.

After we are given some work to do with insects. There is question which asks 'What is a mosquito?'. I write ' A vampire' .

Our next lesson is Drama which is totally boring, we were told by the vampire teacher Mrs Fire, to do performances on Vampires and Werewolves. She says we cannot transform in the piece which is hardly fair seeing as that is what we do best. One group of Werewolf Boys decide to a piece on the fight yesterday and everyone bursts out laughing, everyone except the vampires. After we have lunch which is Sausages and Mash which I found delightful and you could see it on my face;literally.

We then have a double debating lesson up to 4.30pm. The topic is 'whether werewolves should be considered wild animals'. Great thanks Miss Joy for fuelling the Vampires who are for. We have an hour to prepare and I am elected to speak. Miss Joy then asks the two speakers to come up for the hour debate.

I begin "This house believes that Werewolves should not be considered wild animals because we are more normal than a vampire, do we suck blood? Do we not sleep ever? We are nearer to human than they are.

Isobelle speaks "This house believes that Werewolves should be considered wild animals because even though we are less normal we are more civilised than Werewolves. Do we transform into hairy wolves? Do we scoff meat like babarians?"

"Babarians? Says the people that suck the life out of people like a parasite!"

"Says the one who tonight will be guzzling on live sheeps"

"Yeah well at least it is alive and not some cold substance you drink out of a packet"

"Do you not drink blood when you eat live sheeps?"

The debates go on for an hour until I make the final blow and win.

"So Ruby what topic would you like to pick for next week?" Miss Joy questions.

"Whether vampires are parasites or not" I reply.

I receive a lot of dirty look as I leave the classroom from the vampires but a lot of smiles from my fellow Werewolves.

Isobelle and Auriele push pass me and say "We'll get you back for this"

I like to seem them try.
