One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf

Everyone was looking at us.

After the hair pulling incident yesterday and now this, there was no way I was going to be left alone. I agreed to walk with this tall, dark haired boy who was a total dream for every girl, well almost every girl in this school, me included.

"I can tell what you're thinking... but don't worry, they will have something else to talk about later, I'll make sure of it." He says before his arm snakes it's way around my shoulder.

My body instantly heating up, blush creeping up my neck to my cheeks. Having Jaxon's arm around me, this close contact made me feel things I've never felt before.

"Jaxon.." I try to say but we stop in front of his two friends from yesterday in the cafeteria.

"Hailey, this is Brett and Caiphus, my only friends in this school but I hang out with other people. If I'm not around, they will make sure you don't get bullied." He says and I nod  my head in understanding.

"That's great and all but I think I should make my own friends. I mean, no offense but I usually get along with girls." I say making them all chuckle.

"Yeah, good luck with that after walking around with Jaxon's arm around you. Besides, you're better off with us for your social status." Brett says, making them all chuckle once more.

"Brett is right Hailey. You probably won't be making any friends after this, your overnight step up the ladder to instant popularity." Caiphus says to me. I don't respond, but a tiny annoying voice in my head believed them although I'm not one to listen.

I look around the school, looking for Rebecca because I hate being the joke and I find pleasure in proving chauvinistic little boys wrong.

"Actually, I've made a friend already. One who doesn't care about this stupid social status, one who couldn't care that Jaxon's arm was around my shoulder two seconds ago and I think I'll go hang out with her. See you around Jaxon." I say, catching them off guard.

"Everybody cares Hailey." Jaxon says and this time, I chuckle as I walk away from them.

The walk to Rebecca was not that long but it was the longest 25 seconds of my life with everyone staring at me. I kept praying I don't trip and fall on my face because that's what happens when everyone is looking at you. Not forgetting Jaxon's gaze burning a hole on my back. I could feel his eyes on me because my body was heating up again, igniting a fire inside of me that completely confused me.

I've had crushes before in my life but it usually starts at imagining a life with the guy first then day dreaming and feeling all giddy before my body reacts in this sexual manner. The need to have this boy take me was slowly overtaking my senses and I hate something I can't fight off in my body.

"Finally taking me on my offer?" Rebecca asks as all the other students she was sitting on the grass with start to get up and walk away at my arrival.

is sort of claiming you, no boy wants to be anywhere near you." She says to me and I groan out loud making her

be my escape. I just wanted to be left alone, focus on my studies and graduate but I failed at that, dismally. Jaxon won't leave me alone and now the whole school won't either and

at me

Jaxon handled her and I'm sure she won't want to lose her queen status because she couldn't let go of Jaxon. It was never going to go anywhere with them anyway. I have a feeling Jaxon is not toying with you.. he seems different and he has not taken his eyes off of you since walking away

Jaxon handled her?" I ask because that text did not scold Azuri

makes Rebecca seem nervous as she looks

old money comes with traditions normal families don't follow. Jaxon here will soon be the heir to take over the family business and control the fortune and Azuri comes from a normal family in this town. The Gellar men

Azuri because if he was, he would've claimed her already. They believe that one day they will meet the woman made for them and they will know it then that she's the one. Azuri knows it but I guess like every girl that's been with Jaxon always hopes to be that girl, stupid wishful thinking.

I had to admit that he had game. I mean he was playing my hero, risking his relationship with Azuri to make me feel special but after hearing that he's done this plenty

We always did things backwards on my birthday but now that she's gone, I won't be doing anything. I don't want to do anything without her." I say as I try to gulp down a sob stuck in my throat, forcing a

I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye or tell her that I love her. He's in jail now but he will get out and find life again but my mother is gone. And don't get me started on my deadbeat father who is living

my dad. He does everything for her but nothing for me. This place was supposed to be my escape, where I can focus on things important to me but it's just another horror show in my life. I ran away from my problems because of the coward I am only to run in to
