Katie was sitting in morning registration with Rhydian and Maddy when Mr. Jeffries was taking the register.
"Katie"
"Rhydian"
When Mr. Jeffries got to Maddy's name she answered "What. Oh, I mean years sir."
"Is everything ok Maddy?" Katie asked. Maddy turned around and looked at Katie.
"I'm on the brink of transforming," Maddy whispered.
Katie could remember the days before her first transformation: she was moody and found it difficult to control her actions. How was Maddy going to cope with a week of exams? Katie thought to herself.
"Katerina," Mr. Jeffries said as he called out the last name on the register.
"Ok. As you all know your Maths exam will start right after the dinner bell." Mr. Jeffries remind the class. "Before we begin..." Mr. Jeffries started to say but Katie zoned out for the rest of the lesson.
At lunch time, Katie and Rhydian followed a restless Maddy into the canteen. They joined the rather long lunch queue.
"I don't think I can take another six more days and seven hours of this," Maddy complained.
"Do you want to know what helps?" Rhydian asked.
"Yeah. I will do anything." Maddy said.
"Follow us," Katie said. Maddy followed the two siblings out the school. The looked behind them to make sure that no one was watching and started to jog towards the woods. The three of them ran through the woods before laying down under a tree.
"Better?" Rhydian asked Maddy.
"Much better" Maddy answered.
"I know I've got a Mum and Dad to share all this stuff with, which is more than what you two have" Maddy started to say. "Sorry"
"It's fine," Katie said.
"What I mean is, it's nice having people of my age to share this stuff with," Maddy said.
"Yeah. That goes for me as well" Rhydian said.
"and me" Katie added. The three Wolfbloods looked up to the sky and watched the clouds. Rhydian and Maddy talked about her friendship with Tom and Shannon. This lasted for a few seconds until Maddy sat up.
"Oh, not. I forgot Tom. I was supposed to revise with him for the English exam. Also, we have a maths exam in ten minutes" Maddy said as she grabbed her jumper.
"Yeah. We will catch you up in a minute" Katie said.
Once Maddy left Katie looked at Rhydian.
"I really can't be bothered for this maths exam," Katie said.
"Same," Rhydian added.
When Katie and Rhydian walked into the exam hall, most of the students were already sitting down.
"Nice of you to join us, Katie and Rhydian," the teacher said as they took the remaining seats. Katie sat behind Maddy and Rhydian sat in the row next to her.
"Ok everyone. You have one hour, starting now. You may begin" the teacher told them.
Katie opened her test paper and started to read through the first question. She looked around her and noticed that most of the students were already writing, apart from Maddy. Maddy was panicking and Katie was the first person to notice the black veins on Maddy's hands.
"Maddy" Katie whispered. "It's ok. Calm down"
Maddy coughed and that got Rhydian's attention. Katie watched as Rhydian got up and she used this as a distraction. Katie got up and went to Maddy who was under her desk.
"Katie Morris, sit down now," the teacher said. Katie didn't move she crouched down and reached out to Maddy.
"What is going on? Rhydian sit down as well" the teacher said but it was two late, Rhydian set of the fire alarm. All the students started to panic.
"Calm down everyone," the teacher said as all the students started to file out of the hall. Only Katie, Maddy, and Rhydian stayed behind.
"It's ok now Maddy," Katie said. The teacher came over to us and she didn't look happy.
"You're in big trouble young man," the teacher said. Katie followed Maddy and Rhydian outside to the playground, where they were met by a very unhappy Shannon.
"You are mental Rhydian Morris. Just because you want to waste your own time, it doesn't mean that you get to waste other people's time" Shannon said. Rhydian didn't say anything, he just looked forward and saw that Mr. Jeffries was walking over to them.
"Ok, everyone. Go back to the from room and use this time to revise. Rhydian Morris, you are coming with me to see the head teacher." Mr. Jeffries said.
"Later Maddy, Katie," Rhydian said and he followed Mr. Jeffries into the school.
Katie and the rest of the students went to the form room and sat down. Katie sat in her seat quietly waiting for her brother to come back. When Rhydian came back he sat down next to Katie. Mr. Jeffries followed Rhydian into the classroom.
"So, what happened?" Katie asked.
"Well, when I told Mr Jeffries that I was suffering from number blindness he said that it wasn't one for the headteacher to be involved. He gave me a form for our foster parents to fill out and gave me an after school detention" Rhydian said.
"Rhydian, I want you at the front so I can keep an eye on you," Mr. Jeffries said.
"I talk to you later Katie," Rhydian said.
"Oh and Kay, Kara, and Katerina, you will be joining Rhydian in detention" Mr. Jeffries added.
After class Rhydian, Maddy and Katie sat on one of the benches in the school playground.
"Are you ok now Maddy?" Rhydian asked.
"Yeah. I'm really sorry about what happened in the exam" Maddy said. "I could do with letting off some steam tho"
"I have detention now. Just take it easy for a while and go easy on your friends. After all, there only human" Rhydian said. Maddy smiled at Rhydian.
Later on, Katie was waiting for Rhydian to finish detention when saw Maddy walking past.
"Maddy" Katie called.
"Oh, Hi Katie," Maddy said.
"Your still here?" Katie said.
"Well, I was going home. I tried to speak to Shannon and I said some things that I regret saying now. I wanted to tell her that I didn't mean to say those things" Maddy said.
"Maddy, I know that you and Shannon had an argument but I think that you should let Shannon cool off and talk to her tomorrow," Katie said.
"I know, but I can't leave it like this," Maddy said.
"Ok. I will come with you" Katie said.
"It's fine. Why don't you stay here and wait for Rhydian, his detention will be over soon" Maddy said.
"Alright. Just keep calm around Shannon" Katie said.
Maddy left and a few minutes later Katie could her Maddy howling from the Science lab. Katie rushed over to the Science lab, Rhydian was there as well. Katie could feel the heat from the fire, her eyes turned yellow and black veins started to show on her face.
"Rhydian, Katie. We have to help her" Maddy said.
The two siblings left and Rhydian set the fire alarm off.
"Is that you again. Twice in one day." someone said. Katie looked up and saw that it was Tom, one of Maddy's friends.
"No, this time there really is a fire. Maddy and Shannon in the Science lab" Rhydian said.
"Go get Jeffries," Tom told Rhydian.
Mr. Jeffries followed Rhydian and Katie to the Science lab Lucky Tom had saved Shannon and Maddy. They two girls were leaning on Tom for support.
"Thank goodness. Tom get them out of here." Mr. Jeffries said. Rhydian took Maddy from Tom.
"You saved them Tom," Rhydian said. Maddy sat up and looked over at Shannon who was scared.
"Shan... I'm really sorry" Maddy said but Shannon backed away from Maddy in fear. Did Shannon know our secret now?
Next time: It's a full moon and Maddy, Rhydian and Katie are stuck on an island with their classmates. Can they deal with a suspicious Shannon or will they get caught?
