PAUL'S POV
Jared and I recruited the pack to help keep Michelle away from Casey. It was just like Casey to sabotage this whole situation and I knew what she could do. Michelle would not be dragged into one of Casey's little games.
I saw from across the cafeteria the next day Michelle sitting at our table. I was buying us lunch and Casey, the bitch, was making her way to the table. Quickly, I pushed everyone out of the way and cut Casey off, glaring at her and sitting next to Michelle. Casey just smirked at me and kept walking past us. I sighed in relief.
"What was that all about?" Kim asked curiously.
"What do you mean?" I asked innocently.
"You just pushed like twelve people out of the way and shot that Casey girl the death glare," Kim laughed.
"Oh uh… I don't know?" great excuse.
Luckily, Kim shrugged it off and went on eating her lunch. When Embry and Quil sat down, I got back in line to buy our lunch. I sat back down and set a tray in front of Michelle.
"Eat please," I said.
"Whatever," Michelle sighed, picking up the ham sandwich.
"Hey Kim, guess what," Jared said, kissing her on the cheek and sitting next to her.
"What?"
"I got a B on my Chemistry test," he said proudly.
"Good boy," Kim said, kissing him on the lips. I had the urge to call out whipped, but realized I got a D minus on the Chemistry test…
"Paul, Sam texted me. Said we should be looking out for Brady and Collin? Apparently, they're about to phase," Jared told me.
"Gotcha," I sighed.
I looked across the lunch room and spotted Brady and Collin almost immediately. They wouldn't have been more than 14, but they were huge. Yup, any day now they would phase. Great, now we have two things to keep an eye on. My anorexic imprint and the out of control werewolves.
Michelle finished half her sandwich when the bell rang. She threw the rest out and grabbed her bag.
"Follow her," I hissed to Embry.
He did as he was told and ran after Michelle. I left the cafeteria with Jared for Spanish, relived I would be seeing Michelle next period in gym.
"Hey Paul," someone said behind me, I mentally cringed.
I tried to keep walking, but I could hear Casey behind me.
"Do not walk away from me Paul!" she called angrily.
I sighed loudly and turned around, "What do you want?"
"I was just wondering if you wanted to go out tonight," she said, coming way to close for comfort and twirling a piece of fake blonde hair around her finger.
"Casey, I broke up with you six months ago," I sighed, trying to control my temper.
"We can still go out," she said seductively. I wanted to gag, how was I ever attracted to her?
"No Casey," I growled.
"I remember when you used to be fun," she pouted, "what are you gonna do tonight? Stay home and make sure your little imprint doesn't manage to somehow kill herself?"
"Shut up!" I yelled, Jared grabbed my arm, leading me backwards.
"I'm just saying," Casey sighed, backing up.
"YOU STAY AWAY FROM HER!" I yelled, causing everyone to stare at us.
Jared pulled me into an empty classroom. I tried to subdue my trembling. Apparently, people don't like finding giant werewolves in their classroom.
"Dude don't let her get to you," Jared said.
"It's not me I'm worried about," I growled, punching a wall. Little pieces of brick fell out, leaving a dent.
"Calm down," Jared hissed.
I put my hands on the side of a desk and was able to subdue the trembling. I took a deep breath and stood up.
"Alright, let's go," I sighed.
Jared followed me out of the classroom and we started walking towards our next class. Suddenly, Embry came bounding up to us. He was holding his phone, out of breath.
"What the hell dude? You're supposed to be with Michelle!" I yelled.
"Seth… texted me… it's Brady!" Embry panted, out of breath.
We followed Embry into another wing where sure enough, Seth was trying to pull Brady out of the school.
"LET GO OF ME!" Brady yelled, struggling to get away from Seth.
"NO! Just… come… outside!" Seth yelled.
"NO! LET ME GO PUNCH THAT TOOL BAG IN THE FACE!" Brady yelled.
"A little help guys?" Seth asked desperately.
We ran up to them and helped Seth tow a struggling Brady out of the building and into the woods. Once we got into the woods, we let go and backed away from the violently shaking kid. Seth was talking to Sam on the phone quickly. And then, Brady let out a loud yell which turned into a howl. I tore off my shorts and shirt and phased into a wolf.
Brady!- Me
God?- Brady
Uh sure?- Me
OMG I'M DEAD!- Brady
Hey! I thought we agreed I got to be god!- Jared
Wait what?- Brady
Don't listen to him- Me
No! I'm god!- Jared.
Shut up. Brady, I'm the real god- Me
AH! I'M CONFUSED!- Brady
PAUL! JARED!- Sam
Oh hey… uh that's god- Jared
Jared phased out before Sam could yell at him. Smart boy.
Yeah Brady, that's Sam, he's god- Me
PAUL!- Sam
I phased back to human before I heard anything else.
MICHELLE'S POV
Fucking locker won't open. Fucking school. Fucking life. I kicked my locker a few times. Nope, still won't open. Ugh, kill me now. I gave up and decided to go to class without my shit. Not like I cared anyways. I turned on my heel and walked down the hall. I was already five minutes late.
"Yo short stuff!"
I rolled my eyes and turned around. Casey came strutting up to me.
"What?" I asked, crossing my arms.
"Ooh look who's all tough now," she laughed, "Listen, for the hundredth time! Stay away from Paul because he's mine."
"Whatever," I rolled my eyes and started walking away.
"Getting a little wide there are you?" she called.
I froze and turned around, "Shut up."
"No you shut up you ugly bitch," she said, smirking, "listen fat ass, why don't you go stick your fingers down your throat. Paul could never love you. He doesn't even like you. You're not pretty or thin. I'd tell you to eat a salad, but we all know that won't help. Do us all a favor and lose fifty pounds."
With one last smirk, she brushed past me and was gone. I stood there for a while, just staring at the wall. Finally, I made my way to the nearest bathroom and locked the door. Sticking my fingers down my throat, I gagged until I threw up. Wiping my mouth, I stood up and went to the full length mirror on the wall. She was right, I was fat. My thighs were wider than before and my stomach wasn't flat. Turning to the right, I sucked my tummy in.
I went up close to the mirror and touched my cheek. She said I was ugly. I never thought myself pretty before, but I didn't think I was ugly. Tears pricked the back of my eyes and I turned away, not being able to stand my own reflection.
I rinsed my mouth out with water and then went to gym. I completely missed the class before it. Paul, Seth, Jared, and Embry came late. I ignored them and sat alone. I really don't care if my teacher gives me a 0 for no participation. Paul was used to me ignoring him, so when I didn't say hello, he didn't question it. Stupid fucking werewolf being so understanding.
We drove home from school in silence. I just stared at my hands, trying to avoid my own reflection. It was still raining, as usual.
"Here eat this," Paul said, handing me an apple, "You had a small lunch."
"I'm not hungry," I muttered.
"Michelle."
"Fuck off," I grumbled.
"Michelle, eat the apple!" he growled, pulling into the driveway.
"No Paul! I'm not gonna eat it! I said I'm not hungry! Just fuck off and go away!" I yelled, storming out of the car.
"Michelle wait!" Paul called, running up to me, "D-did Casey talk to you? This is about what she said isn't it?"
"No it's not!" I growled, "It's not about anything. I told you to leave me the fuck alone!"
"Michelle, please," Paul pleaded, stepping closer to me.
"Seriously Paul. I'm done okay? Just stay out of my life!"
