The little girl who cried wolf

Ella's POV

I noticed frequently that Collin would send me sideways glances as if to see if I was still there. I tried to pay attention, it wasn't very hard, until Miss Highwater asked up to partner up. I looked around and saw that Collin had partnered up with the girl he was with earlier, I looked away and saw another girl looking as uncomfortable as I did. I walked over to her, she saw me approaching and looked me in the eye.

She had the same look as all the others on the Reservation did, straight jet-black hair and dark skin, but her eyes were a striking blue. I continued walking till I was in front of her desk,

"Would you like to be partners?" I asked her and she gave a small smile and I returned it. I sat down in the now empty seat beside her.

"I'm Ella by the way." I said kindly and she smiled brightly,

"I'm Maria, nice to meet you." She said politely,

"Ok, the assignment now. What book were you thinking about doing?" I asked, for our project we had to write a report on a book we have previously read and describe in detail, what we read so our partners have an educated summary of the book. It might not be the best project, but it's one I'm good at.

"Ummm, Shiver by Mag…" she stopped because I interrupted her, I squealed with joy and she looked shocked,

"I love that book, it's so cute." I half yelled, Collin turned to me, and I caught a flash of a smile on his face, a slight snarl came from my mouth. I saw his surprise, I grinned brightly,

"Oh, then I'll pick… another…" she stopped looking depressed, I smiled reassuringly at her and she looked completely confused,

"No, it's fine, this just guarantees your success." She returned my smile understanding what I was saying now.

"Ok" she said, "what book did you choose?" she asked me looking worried,

"Mortal Instruments." I replied and she flashed a quick smile,

"Which book?" she asked a smile lighting up her entire face, I grabbed my bag and pulled out 'City of Bones' she smiled even wider,

"That's my favorite book!" she squealed and I smiled at her.

"That's good then, we won't have a problem with this project. We launched into a discussion and I couldn't keep the smile off my face, it turned out we had the same morning classes, but on the down side, Collin had been appearing in every one of my classes as well. But I made my best attempt to avoid him, the morning passed with a flourish of Social Studies and Biology.

I had the same lunch as Maria so we decided to sit together, she asked me so many questions.

"Why did you move here? Where are you from? Are you enjoying your first day here?" I would occasionally nod, I sat down with Maria, and I felt dead but I didn't understand why. Maria had made a tray piled high with food for the both of us. She picked up some nachos and ate calmly, looking around the room. I looked at the tray, man there is a little bit of everything here. I absently picked up some chicken strips and nibbled on them. I heard whispering behind me, I slightly turned my head to hear better.

"Is that her?" a boy asked, I thought I heard someone shift their weight., I don't know what's up with me, I've been growing rapidly, heard and smelt things better, and sensed strange things.

"Ya, that's her, Ella." I heard Collin say, anger and passion welled up inside me "But I'm going to ignore it." He said calmly and those around him gasped.

"You can't…" one said, but I didn't stay long enough to hear, I was so angry I was…shaking? Something about what he had said had affected me, I ran from the cafeteria, and I heard someone behind me. I ran towards the forest desperate for escape. There was still someone behind me but I didn't look. The anger ripped through my body, next thing I knew I was looking down at large silver…paws. I gasped, but it came out as a whine, and standing behind me was a boy.

"Oh god." He whispered, I looked at my paws again, and looked back at the boy. But he was gone in his place was a large charcoal wolf.

'Ella' a voice said in my head, my thoughts were racing so I nodded, I was already terrified.

'Listen to me, I'm Brady. We're just like you. Do you know who your father is?' he asked me and I shook my head no, I couldn't help the thoughts that flowed from my mind. My father leaving my mother and I to fend for ourselves when I was four. Brady sighed,

'I understand. Oh when we're wolves we can read each other's thoughts. Ok now let's take you to…' he was cut off by Collin coming through the trees, his eyes widened when he saw me, and inclined his eyebrows.

'Close your eyes.' Brady said in my mind, and I obeyed.

"Ok, you can open um'." Brady said, I opened them and looked at the two boys.

"Who is this?" Collin asked Brady, I laid down on the forest floor,

"Ummm… this is…Ella." He replied, and I saw Collin's eyes widen in shock, he took a step towards me and I was on my feet…paws backing away, he looked hurt.

"Did you hear?" he asked, and as a reply I ran as fast as I could away from Collin and Brady.
