Chapter 13

Dear Diary,

The wendigo is gone, finally, and mom talked to the council about it. They were so proud of me. I have four days left...it's not getting any easier, with the sudden craving for blood, the sleepless nights, and not being able to focus on anything.

I got a text from Chase last night after the fight. He wants to hang out. Mom and the council mustn't find out, but I know he is a good guy. And I want to give him a chance.

The bell rings for the first period. I didn't get much sleep last night due to the sudden craving for blood. I see Denise now. She is with Corner. What is she doing with him?

"Inez!" she calls as I run to meet her. "Geez, you look drained. Do you want to go see the school nurse?"

"No, I'm fine." I dragged her away from Corner's side. "What are you doing with him?" I whisper, trying not to let the corner hear us.
