I AM NOT A WERE!
Derek
Chapter 5
I stood there for a second, feeling dumb, and then I slammed the door shut.
Why would he be making out with a girl here, I thought, when he can just make out with her in our room, since he knows I would probably come here?
I heard some noise, and then Cooper opened the door. "Hey, Kyle. Sorry about that. I forgot to tell you I have a date today. "Well, you sure got great timing." I said, and turned to Sophie. "It seems we can't go there today," I explained, "so let's go eat somewhere else."
"Umm, ok. Then let's go outside!" She said cheerfully, like she didn't care we wouldn't be alone in a room, and people might be staring at us.
And I really wanted to be alone with her, too! I thought as we started walking towards the door we came through to get here, I wanted to kiss her. I glanced at her for a second, and then I realized what I was thinking.
Woah. I should not be thinking like this! I thought, I barely even know her! It doesn't matter whether she has long legs, or if her shirt looks good with her eyes! Shit. This. Is. Bad. At least I know Cooper is going to be proud.
"Alright, come this way" I said, not long after we passed through the door leading outside.
"You know, I'm really jealous of birds right now. No, you know what, I'm more jealous of shape-shifters who turn into birds. You know why?" Sophie suddenly said, "no, why?" I asked, and she explained: "They get to live like humans, learn new things and have new experiences but they can also fly in the sky, free from everyone and everything."
"I guess you're right." I said, after I thought about it for a moment, "but just so you know, in class we learned that they are not allowed to shape-shift during the spring because it's mating season, so they might also be in the mood to mate, and imagine the horror of the partner seeing that person shape-shift back to his human form."
"I guess that would be a bad idea, but that's really too bad. I think that would be the best time to be flying in the sky, seeing all the flowers and trees blooming beneath me." She sighed, "alright, so where are we eating?"
"Oh, right." I stopped walking and looked around, "umm, this way!" I said, and started walking towards the trees on the left. I wanted to show her my hiding spot when I felt like being alone.
"In the trees?" She asked, hesitantly. "Yeah, is that a problem?" I asked, I wouldn't want to make her sit there with me if she doesn't want to.
"No, there isn't a problem; I just wanted to make sure." She said, and we walked the rest of the way there, about twenty feet, in silence.
"Alright, now," I said, "this trail might be a bit confusing, but I use it to keep other people away, this is the way to my private hide-out."
"Seriously?" She asked, an expression of amazement on her face.
"Yep." I said, and we walked in the forest, following a trail that sometimes looped over itself. I could see confusion on Sophie's face a few times when we reached a place we already seen before, but the last three times it happened it seemed she already got used to it.
At last, we reached my hideout.
