One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf

Chapter 1

The school was smaller than what I'm used to, a little on the old school architectural side with statues

of old men- no women.

Kids in school uniform, some tried to make it look trendy but let's be honest, it is still school uniform but

whatever makes one feel better I guess. Different cliques all around, I am not able to tell which is which

no thanks to the clothing but one can easily tell the queen bee of the school.

A queen bee is never alone, either standing with her girls and the boys never far away. Always close by

their queen and she knows it. A little hair toss to the side and the dazzling flash of white teeth as she

laughs at something her friends were saying, possibly complimenting her toe nails even when none of

us can see them.

Every one is surrounding her, from her friends to the boys and the rest of the school. I don't even think

they notice it really, I mean they are all sitting on the one side of the grass, just divided in to groups and

as much as most of the student body probably hate her, they can't help but be drawn to her and now

my plan on staying away from her will backfire.

She will quickly notice my ignorance and target me. I have no energy for bullies this year but

unfortunately, that's something I can't guarantee for myself.

I just always seem to throw myself in to the fire.

Paying attention to make sure I don't get the school's royal to pay attention me, I bump in to a wall.

It all happens in slow motion as I feel my body lose balance and I start to fall, gravity couldn't pull me

down quick enough but a pair of strong hands catch me, his touch making my voice to hitch.

I look up to the deepest blue eyes I have ever seen as he pulls me up and steadies me. I'm so lost in

his eyes that my knees give out but he's still holding me and I let him, taking comfort in being in his

arms as he also looks at me. His eyes focus on my lips when I bite my bottom lip trying to pain myself

back to reality.

His eyes get darker and I think I hear a growl which snaps me out of that daze, stepping back from him

as I shake my head, I had to rid myself of the constant ringing in my head to go back in to his arms.

"Th...thank you.." I quickly say and he smiles at me but it disappears quickly as he looks behind me.

I feel my hair being pulled backwards as a sharp pain shoots in my head. The cute boy grabs hold of

me and I scream in pain as he pulls me towards him and whoever is behind me pulls on my hair,

tugging me back.

Definitely lost a few strands there.

"Another one Jaxon? Another human! Unbelievable!" The voice holding my crown says out loud as the

entire school approaches, phones in hand to record this very embarrassing moment of yours truly,

caught between two people and not one of them wants to let go.

I whimper in pain as I try to scratch her hands off my hair, with no success.

"It's not like that Azuri." Jaxon, the boy pulling me towards him says, his tone sounding a little angry but

I could be wrong.

She scoffs and let's go of my hair, landing hard on Jaxon's chest and his scent hits my nostrils and I'm

all mush.

His cologne sending me in to a frenzy as I feel weird all over my body. He holds on to me tightly,

covering my face away from the world, not knowing that his scent was doing things to me that I could

not comprehend.

I try to pull away but he was too strong and I don't think I'm putting up much of a fight to be honest.

"I don't have to explain anything to you anyway. I told you from the beginning what you are to me and

you agreed to it, please just don't play the jealous girlfriend card right now. You are not and will never

be my girlfriend." He says to her and my heart drops.

How could he hold me so gently but be so cold to somebody else?

I pushed him back, shock finally breaking my daze and I look him up and down before turning to face

the fake girlfriend.

My eyes bulge out when I notice who he was talking to and I mentally groan.

The school's queen bee was glaring right at me. All that was left was for smoke to come out of her ears

and Jaxon's chuckles.

I turn to look at him and he winks at me. This angers me a little and I pick up my backpack which

probably fell the time I bumped in to this wall named Jaxon and when I was stuck between a lover's

quarrel.

I run past him and in to the school building. I was given a tour of the school a few days ago when I Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

arrived so I can be prepared on my first day but nothing could prepare me for that social suicide I just

committed out there.

"Just. Great." I mutter through gritted teeth as I make my way to my first class.

I was now enemy number one to the school's most popular girl. All because her good for nothing

boyfriend decided to hold me like that.

And wink at me!

I walk in to the class room to find Mrs. Meyers sitting by her desk.

"Good morning ma'am." I say walking up to her. I was told she assigns seats for her students so I was

not about to just sit down.

"Hailey is it?" She asks and I nod my head yes.

"You will be sitting in front of me since you are new and I need to keep my eye on you." She says and I

gulp away the fear I felt when she said that as I enjoyed sitting in the middle.

Nobody notices the middle students. We blend in. The kids that sit at the back are usually the trouble

makers and the front, well that's always the know it all kids or the straight A kids which I am but I just

wanted to go through the first few days blending in.

Not in this school.

I've learned t0 blend in since first grade, not many paying attention to me. I guess it's a little hard now

that I can't hide under a hoodie, I'm forced to have my hair in a ponytail and wear only school provided

uniform.

I've been told by many that I'm beautiful. Especially my mother's best friend Tara, who kept begging my

mom for me to join her modeling agency.

I look like my dad, he is a very handsome black man but I took after my mother's skin tone, green eyes

and soft hair thanks to her Irish and Mexican descent.

My hair is soft but definitely curly.

I sit down, taking out all the necessary books for the lesson.

People start walking in, the noise picking up as more students walk in to see their friends and catch up.

"Okay class settle down." Mrs Meyers says and all the chatter dies down as they take their assigned

seats.

"We have a new learner in class. We will allow her to introduce herself and tell us a little about herself. I

will not tolerate any rudeness, you know me. Hailey." She says and I reluctantly stand up.

I turn to face the class and I find Jaxon's eyes staring back at me. My nerves shoot up and I'm

suddenly shaking.

I look to the back wall, eyes above everyone's heads.

"Hello class. My name is Hailey Ferguson. I love to read, sing and yeah that's all." I quickly say before

sitting back down on my chair. I look up at Mrs Meyers and she smiles at me.

"Thank you Hailey. I hope you will all make her feel welcome here in my class and the entire time she is

at school. Now, open your books to page 2, Azuri will read for us." Mrs Meyers says and Azuri groans

out loudly.

I don't make the mistake of looking at Azuri who was sitting all the way at the back. I remain focused,

waiting for her to read what was on the page.

I feel the whole class turn to face her but me and time goes slowly as she doesn't read. I look up at

Mrs. Meyers and she gestures for me to also turn to look at Azuri.

Great, she loved an audience in class too. I turn to face her and she throws me the deadliest glare,

making me want to sink in to my chair.

Classes go by fast and it was now lunch time. I put on my noise cancelling headphones and walk my

way to the cafeteria.

After this morning, I'm sure nobody would want to be my friend since they all look up to Azuri, so I

figured I'd just get my food and find a table to sit alone.

I honestly don't mind that at all.

One of the reasons I transferred to this school is their cafeteria. They have wonderful vegetarian and

vegan options, even though I eat meat but if they have a mushroom burger or a good tofu salad then

I'm game.

My mother was a vegan so our dinners were insanely healthy but so tasty. I missed that, I miss her.

She was creative though, her meals were never boring and I'd love to eat some meals to remember

some happy moments with her.

I order a berry smoothie, salsa quesadilla and frozen yogurt, they gave me tutti frutti flavor. I show the

lady my red card which states the school covers my lunches and she nods her head.

I quickly find an empty table after making sure it is far from the schools popular kids and make myself

comfortable. I had 25 minutes left to enjoy my lunch while listening to some RnB.

Three boys sit on my table, one being Jaxon who sits next to me. I remove my headphones looking at

them puzzled.

"Is this your table? I can move." I say as I start to put away my lunch. Jaxon's hand covers mine,

making me freeze.

"No need. We don't mind sharing the table with you, right guys?" He says flashing me his killer smile.

He doesn't even look back at his friends after asking them a question and they mumble something I

couldn't quite make out as I'm lost in Jaxon's eyes.

Not forgetting how warm his hand was, how his touch was igniting a fire in me I could not understand.

I was never the sexual kind. What is happening?

Jaxon removes his hand and I feel empty, cold and my mind crying out to Jaxon to hold me again. He

turns away from me to chat to his friends as he bites in to his steak, which looked too raw for my liking

and I now did not blame my mother for being a vegan, that is just disgusting.

I turn to focus on my lunch, seeing that my dessert was missing. I look around the table but the boys

did not have it until I felt a coldness on top of my head, feeling something really cold drip down the side

of my face, making it's way in my ear and to my neck.

Within seconds, my whole face is covered in yogurt and I heat up all over from anger.

"You want to humiliate me Jaxon? I'll do the same thing to her." Azuri says and I lose it!

I quickly stand up, chair screeching out loudly, gaining everyone's attention. Azuri loses her balance as

she was standing behind me. My chair pushing her to the floor. Facing Azuri,

"You. Want. Your. Jaxon? Have him! I don't want him and why not throw him with the yogurt? Huh?" I

shout out loud. The shock on her face had not yet registered to me and I couldn't care that she's on the

ground.

She put a wet substance on my hair. My hair.

"Why do you have to be such a cliche? Popular girl picks on the new girl. Popular guy's girlfriend picks

a fight with the girl the popular boyfriend is paying attention to instead of fighting with the popular

boyfriend. Incase you forgot, I'm the new girl here. I've only been around all of you for only four hours

give or take, I'm trying to stay alive and sane before picking a boyfriend so the next time he humiliates

you by flirting or doing whatever it is that you let him do, dump him! You and I, we don't know each

other. I don't owe you shit and because you've allowed him to do anything like the king you make him

think he is, he won't stop. That's on you, not me or any other girl, you!" I scream out.

I stomp my feet away as people start clapping their hands. It also has not yet registered that they are

doing that because of my speech.

I stop walking, turn around to face her again.

"And don't you ever, ever touch my hair again!" I say and walk out.

I was going back to my dorm but first I am going to pay the school principal a visit on anti

bullying.
