Chapter 10

I went to school today and chemistry class felt empty without Casey to talk to.

"Adena do you know where Casey is?" Mrs. Hill asked

"Out of town visiting family." I say

"When will she be back?" She asks

"I don't know." I say

"Please send her the notes because she'll need them." Says Mrs. Hill

"Will do." I say

Time went bye. First hour ended. I went to second hour, performing arts. Today we where in the PAC (performing arts center) we where doing a skit for the class. It was from Romeo and Juliet. The girls played Juliet while being partnered up with a guy to play Romeo. I was paired with Carson Pinerton. I really didn't like him that much but this was for a grade.

Carson has blonde hair, blue eyes, and is pretty short for a guy.

"Mr. Jasper do we have to... Um kiss?" Asked Carson

"Yes."

First thing that went through my mind is what will Theo think.

"Awe shit." I say

"I know, what will my girlfriend think about this?" He said

"And start scene."

We started the scene. And I personally wanted to play the part where she commits suicide instead of the kissing part.

Carson and I kissed and then we backed up repulsed by each other.

Then the scene ended... Thank God. I walked off stage and the next pair went up.

Third hour came by, ELA. I turned in my paper. And the rest of that hour I sat on my phone. Fourth hour rolled bye so fast and so did gym and history. After school I walked home with Theo.

"How was your day?" Theo asked

"Nothing interesting." I say

He looks at me with a smile.

"Your mother hasn't realized you've been here more often?" He asked

"She normally gets home late... no." I say

"Oh that's good." He says

"And whys that?" I ask

"I wanted to get some training done." He said

"Okay." I say

"Roof or basement?" I ask

"Basement... The full moon is coming soon so you better make up a good excuse to not be home that night." He says

I follow him down to the basement.

"Let's focus on transformation." He says

He transformed, his fur was gray and white much like Silas. He came back to human form.

"Now if you do this right you'll still have your clothes on." He says

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" I ask

"Sometimes on their first transformation werewolves don't transform back right so their clothes don't transform with them." He said

"Maybe not today." I say

"Adena the full moon is coming soon and you have to at least try." He says

I huff.

"Okay what do I do?" I ask him

"Just how you did with the claws and fangs." He says

"Something that pisses me off?" I ask

"Yeah, use that anger to transform." He says

I think of my friends being threatened. I feel my bones break. My fangs grow. As do my ears. My bones continue to crack. I was on all fours. I looked at Theo.

"Good, now transform back." He says then he turned around

This was less painful. I stood. Theo had his back turned the whole time. I looked down.

"Theo don't turn around." I say

"I have extra joggers and tee shirts." He said

As he headed up the stairs not once looking at me standing awkwardly... Naked. He came back down the stairs with his eyes closed.

"Here." He said

He reached out to the wall. I walked up to him and took the clothes and put them on.

"I'm dressed." I say

He turns around.

"At least you transformed." He laughed

"I have a question." I say

"Yeah?" His smile fades

"Why didn't you look?" I ask

"Because you asked me not to, I would never do anything without your permission." He said

I smiled and hugged Theo.

"I love you." I said into his shoulder

"I love you too." He kissed the top of my head

"Let's go upstairs." He said

We sat on the couch watching tv until I got a text from my mom.

Where are you?

I replied,

I'm with Theo

Please be home soon

How soon?

Soon maybe an hour.

Ok love you.

"I have to be home in an hour." I say

"Okay." He asks

I laid in his arms as we watched tv. I must've dosed off because he woke me up and it was way past an hour.

"Theo I gotta go home before my mom gets really worried and calls the police." I say

"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow." He smiled

"That's if my mom doesn't kill me." I say

I walk toward the door he followed to make sure I got out okay.

"I love you... Goodnight." Then I kiss him

I walk out of his house and I run as fast as I can to my house. I open the door and my mom starts beating me with a bat.

"What the hell mom it's me!" I say turning the light on

"Where the hell were you? I thought you where a fricken robber!" She asked

"I was with Theo." I say

"What where you doing?" She asked

"After your call to be home by an hour we cuddled and fell asleep I'm sorry I didn't call you sooner but I was on my way here and my phone is almost dead from all the spamming you did." I say

"You still a virgin?" She asks

"Yes mom." I say, "And that's not gonna change until I'm married because that's how I was raised. Plus that's who he was raised as well... To be respectful."

"He better be, because if he's not I'm gonna get that boy and your gonna have to bail me out of jail." Mom said

I love my mom. Especially when she starts sounding like a teenager. It's like we speak the same language without her going past the line and saying "Swag money" or "YOLO".

"Get some sleep pumkin." She says

I'm just glad my mom trusts me enough to hang out at Theo's house. Otherwise I'd have no where to go on the full moon and I have no idea what I'm gonna say when I'm gone the whole night.
