The wolf

10

Once he was finally done arguing with me to let me drive we got in the car. I made sure I was driving. At least to my house. Once the car was driving now I started talking. "I had a fun time." I said. "Me to. Other than when that wolf, or alpha, tried to kill me." He said. "Yea ......well I'd like to do this again sometime." I said smiling. I saw out of the Corner of my eye, he was smiling to. "Me to. How about the carnival this week? It open tomorrow and is open until Sunday." To be honest I had no idea there was a carnival. But I guess I should've guessed since it was near valentines day. "sounds great." I said. I had to be blushing, because My face was burning up. "So about the football thing, are you sure your gonna do that?" I asked. "Yea why wouldn't I be?" "Um....because running and tackling people to the ground might just make you mad enough to shift." He let out a small laugh. "What?" I asked grinning. He shook his head and still smiled. "I can get mad but this is another way for me to get used to my pulse rising. And to be around you." Okay it's official, my face has turned completely red. "I raise your pulse?" I asked. "Hell yea. Like.....more than anything. I don't know either it's because you make me really nervous or what, but yea." He said. I looked at him, still smiling. "Trust me.....you raise my pulse to. I'd already have shifted if I were you." He laughed at that.

We pulled in my driveway. We got out of the car and he walked me to my porch. He shoved his hands in his pockets. We both were smiling. "So....tomorrow then?" HE said. I nodded. "Yea. Definitely." "Great! Well I guess I'll pick you up again." He said. "Ye-" my door opened. And my step-dad walked out. Thank gosh he wasn't drunk. For once. "Brenda, Who's this?" He asked. "Oh, well jared this is Scott. SCott this is jared." Scott held out a hand for him to shake it. Jared just looked at it and didn't do anything. "You call me mr.conner." Jared said. Which was his last name when he married my mom. Scott put his hand down. "Mr.conner." He said nodding. He didn't have a smiled on his face anymore. And neither did I. "Now what are you doing at my daughters house so late?" He asked. "Step-daughter." I said. He placed a hand on my shoulder. "Um...." Scott looked at me. "We just went out to a dinner and movie with warren and Bella." I said. "So it wasn't just you two?" "Nope, all four of us." I said. Maybe he could tell I was nervous or something because he said "I can tell when your lying." I sighed. "Mr.conner I'm sorry it was my idea, I just wanted to et to know her better." Scott said. "If you two are out past twelve one more time, I won't let you see each other. Is that clear?" I nodded. "Yea." "Yes sir." "Good, now you can leave now." Jared said to Scott. Scott looked at me. "See you tomorrow Scott." I said. "Yea. See you tomorrow." He was upset, I could tell.

Scott turned around and left. I waved to him one lat time before he pulled out the driveway. I turned to go back inside. But jared stopped me. "I don't want you to see that boy again." He said. "What?! Why not?!" I asked. "Because look"He motioned to my outfit. "You don't even dress the way you usually do." I sighed. "This is how I usually dress for a date jared." I said. "But your always to drunk to notice what goes on." "Don't you ever say that again young lady!" He pointed a finger at me. "I'm the adult and I can drink whatever I want. And you have to right to talk to or father that way!" "Your not my father!" I yelled running up into my room. I shut and locked the door. I buried my face into my pillow and covered myself with a blanket. And cried. I haven't though of my dad for a long time. He died when I was fourteen. We used to do everything together. He taught me how to shoot guns, drive fourth wheelers, drive anything, and a lot of other stuff. One thing that was my favourite thing was soccer. We played that everyday. We practiced and practiced and practiced. Then I made the team.

I cried for a long time. Then I heard my phone go off. I picked it up and slid it across the screen. I smiled at who it was.

Scott: sooooo u in trouble?

Me: yea. And I got into a fight with him that I'm gonna get my ass handed to when my mom gets home.

Scott: I'm sorry, I should've let earlier. But are we still on for tomorrow night?

Me: fuck yea! I can't wait. But like my dad said. Home before twelve. And since is a school night he probably wants me home at nine.

Scott: man, that sucks. Do you think you could be just a little bit more late?

Me: I don't care. I will wait until twelve if I'm out with you.

Scott: ☺

Me:😊

Scott: can I ask you something?

Me:yea what is it?

Scott: do you like me?

Yea. Is it not obvious? I mean seriously.

Me: I guess you'll have to find out on your own. 😷

Scott: ah your no fun😏

Me:haha nether are you.

We talked for the rest of the night. I got off at around two or three and was tired to death. So I only got sleep for about four hours before I had to get up for school. I went and took a shower, then dryed my hair. I got dressed in black jeans with holes on them and a falling in reverse shirt. I slipped on my red converses and went downstairs for breakfast. I grabbed some cereal and ate it up. I hadn't seen mom or jared all morning, and their usually running all around the house to get ready. Once I finished my cereal I went to the sink to clean it off.

There was a note. /we have to go away for a couple days Brenda. Stay inside unless your going to school. Don't go anywhere else. We will tell you when we get back./
Wait so I'm home....alone. For a couple days. I smiled. I had to tell warren, Scott, and Isabella. But then I got a better idea.
