Principal Trudy said.
As she finished that sentence, everyone in the auditorium gasped. It started getting louder as everybody gossiped and panicked about what this all meant.
“Now don’t worry, students. We have extra security here today, and until we are able to deem the area safe. Don’t be afraid of the guards, they are only here to protect you and make sure nothing bad happens. Please go on with your normal classes as if this was any other normal day,” she said, exuding confidence.
We were all shuffled out of the auditorium like a herd of sheep. As I was being pushed and prodded out, I saw Derek and Cara off in a corner talking. They looked scared and argumentative. What were they talking about? What could be wrong?
I started making my way to my locker just as I do every morning. I saw James standing there looking distraught.
“Hey you,” I said, smiling.
“Are you okay?” he asked frantically.
“Well sure I am. Why wouldn’t I be?”
“I was just scared, because of the werewolf spotting.”
“Why would you be scared?”
“Because, Juliet, I don’t think you know what it means.”
“What do you mean?”
“Werewolves are a serious matter. Especially three of them in their full forms. They get their power from their packs. The more of them there are, especially in full form, the more dangerous they are. They feed off each other’s energies and power.”
“Well, why would you be scared for me, though?”
“I just wanted to make sure you were safe. With your father being who he is, I wanted to make sure they weren’t targeting you or trying to kidnap you for revenge.”
The bell rang and James put his hands on my shoulders.
“If you notice anything weird, please tell me. I care about you a great deal and couldn’t live with myself if something happened to you. I would rather be dead than be without you.”
“You already are dead,” I whispered into his ear.
He smiled and walked away. I watched him slowly walk away as I dreamt of tomorrow night. All I wanted at this point was to be his. To give him my heart so he could do what he wanted with me. I would even let him convert me if it meant I was able to hold his soul for all of time.
“Girl, what is up with you?”
I turned around to see Ariel standing there with her hands on her hips, giving me a big grin.
“You’re talking to James, aren’t you?” she asked.
“A little bit,” I said, trying to contain my smile.
“Just be careful, you know that Brittany has been trying to get together with him for a long time now and if she finds out the new girl snatched him she will come after you.”
I didn’t even care what she did. I was never going to let go of James and nobody was going to take him from me. He was mine and I was his.
We walked into math just before the bell rung. I sat at my desk dreaming about the night that was coming soon.
Math was never my greatest subject, but I got by. I always had trouble remembering all of the different rules and equations. When was I ever even going to have to use this stuff? I couldn’t think of many times in life I would have to figure out quadratic equations.
Mr. Oliveri, my math teacher, was a very funny man. He always tried to make us laugh and make math fun. He gave us all nicknames. Some got off better than others with theirs. He called me LaVoeAtory, trying to be funny and make my last name sound like “laboratory.” I never quite understood why he did this or gave me this name. Maybe he thought I was weird and would grow up to be an evil scientist, sewing rats and frogs together to make the dreaded ratfrog.
“Ms. LaVoeAtory,” he said. “Would you like to come up to the board and show the class how to solve this particular problem?”
I wanted to just shout “no.” I had no interest in getting up in front of the entire class and making a fool out of
