High School

[HappyBeingMe]

She stood up again and kicked the ground with her foot. She curses at herself and slams her book onto the floor, trying to calm her anger. It was close to the full moon, and that's when the wolf inside her gets more powerful. It's harder to control her phasing when it was the week of the full moon, but she knew that she had to. Or she would scare people, that was the last thing that she would want to do.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery got out his timetable from his pocket. Science next, unfortunately. One of the only lessons that he just could not stand. It wasn't the actual thing they were learning, it was just that the teachers were always just so dull. Emery walks out of the restroom and to his locker to pick up his science book, when he sees Leela freaking out, slamming her book onto the floor. Was it close to the full moon? He didn't really check the cycle, it didn't concern him mainly, seen as his family had a feud with werewolves. He risked it and walked up to his locker, opening it and completely ignoring Leela while he rummaged for his science textbook.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela falls to the ground, her eyes starting to slightly change color as she tries to get herself to calm down. She blinks a few times, but the brown of her eyes continues to turn to green. "Calm down." She whispers to herself, then stands up when she sees Emery and picks up her book. She closes her eyes and thinks of her mother singing to her and she hums to herself slightly, her eyes going back to normal. She then turns to Emery and decides she should say something. "You really shouldn't have done that." She says, then walks away from him and towards the Science classroom as the bell rings, signalling the end of lunch.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery just rolled his eyes, as people filled the hallways, he shut his locker door, and began to walk towards science slowly, following the general crowd and stench of werewolf. When he got there he walked inside of the classroom, sitting at one of the two man benches. He put his science textbook on his desk and examined his nails, his head in one of his hands. What made her think that he shouldn't have done that? What made him so important that she even noticed it? She needed to stay in her own business. He sighed and looked out of the window as the seats in the room slowly filled.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Why'd you run off?" Ricky asks as he sits down next to Leela in the science class. "I'm not feeling very well today." She says, then bits down on her thumb. She looks up at the teacher, he was pretty cool, not like other science teacher who never talked about anything interesting. He likes to let the students do lab work twice a week, which means they get to cut things open, and mix things together, everyone seemed to love him. She then sees Chance walk in, he looks at Emery with a confused face, then sits down with his friends.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

As expected, no one sits with Emery, and he puts his bag on the chair next to him seen as there is no use it staying on the floor. The lesson begins, and because Emery aims to remain a good student, he takes notes on things that he didn't know.


The teacher was, unexpectedly, pretty cool, cracking jokes now and then about the anatomy of humans. There wasn't a lot that Emery didn't know about the anatomy of humans, so he didn't have to write much.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

After a few moments of the teacher talking about human anatomy and everybody laughing at him he sighed and sat down on his desk. "Alright, that's the end of this lesson, I don't want to go into to much on the first day of school. You guys can talk or do whatever until the bell rings." He says and moves to his chair and starts reading a book. Leela smiles and pulls out her phone, plugging in her earphones and turning on Ghost Of You by My Chemical Romance, it was another one of her favorite songs and she lays her head down on the table as she listens to the beautiful voice of Gerard Way.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery could hear the sound of an actually good song playing in someone's earphones, and turned in the direction that it was playing from. Ah, Leela. Well it was pleasant to know she had a decent taste in music. His eyes linger on her for a second, snap to Ricky, and then he looks back outside of the window. He could still hear Ghost of You playing, and he smiled slightly, before realising that she was a werewolf and they yhated eachother, or at least had to, so he adopted his blank expression and read some things from his textbook for a while.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

The song changes soon to Last Resort by Papa Resort and Leela sits up. She mouths the words to the song and smiles. Then when she sees Ricky trying to say something to her she takes an earphone out of her ear and raises her eyebrows. "So, what are you doing after school?" He asks, and Leela smiles. "Going to get some ice cream." She says and Ricky smiles. "Or you could come to my place, we can hang out." He suggests and Leela shakes her head, last time she went to his house he tried to kiss her. "No, I have other plans too." She says and and bites her lip before putting her earphone back in.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery got his phone out of his bag and typed a message to his brother, his best friend, the only person who listened to him and understood, Fenton. He waited for the bell to go, and when it did, he climbed out of his seat, did he have any lessons now, or could he finally make his way home?

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela smiles when the bell goes off and stands up. "See you tomorrow Ricky." She says, and with that she walks out of the classroom. Without stopping to put her book away she walks out of the school and towards the ice cream shop. She places her book in her bag as well as her phone and earphones. She hums to herself as she walks into the ice cream parlor and orders a chocolate fudge sundae. She takes her ice cream to a seat by the window and stares out of it as she eats the soothing cold food.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery waits for a little while before his ride finally shows up, and he gets in without a second thought, slams the door and barks the command for his driver to take him home as he glares out of the window. On his drive home, Emery opens his half empty bottle and drains it, before opening the full bottle and draining that too. If there was one thing Emery lacked, it was self control when it came to drinking.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela hands the worker her empty dish and pays for the ice cream. She then puts her bag on her shoulder and slaps herself in the forehead. "I forgot my bike, again." She says, she had a tendency to forget things easily. She walks out of the ice cream parlor and sends a quick text to her dad saying she might be a bit late. She then starts walking back to the school, which wasn't TOO far away.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

The car pulls up to his house, and Emery steps out, nods a thanks at the driver, and walks up the long driveway. When he steps inside the house, his bag still on his shoulder, and empty bottles in his hands, a maid quickly runs up to him, takes them, and his bag, and walks away to do goodness knows what. The house is eerily silent, but as he takes a step onto the staircase he can hear the piano being played, a melancholy tune coming from upstairs. He walked towards the sound, down the long dimly lit corridor, until he reaches the large wooden double doors of the music room.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

She speeds away from the school, headed to her aunt's house. Her father had told her to meet him there. When she gets to her house she stops her bike and turns it off. She then puts her helmet on the handlebar, but as the wind caught in her hair a certain smell is put in her nose. "Oh, god no." She says, then gets off her bike and walks into her aunt's huge mansion like house. Anger boiling in her bones and blood.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

His brother is sat at the piano, his long white hair in a braid down his back, and his fingers flowing along the keys as though it was a natural part of his life. Emery walked over to Fenton and rested his hand on his shoulder, watching his fingers on the piano keys. The song was sad, haunting, something eerie about it that chilled anyone who listened to the bone. It came to a slow stop as Fenton looked up at Emery. "You look as bored as ever," he states as he plays a new song, his fingers working fast. Emery's expression stays the same as he takes a seat beside his brother, and begins to play with him.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela gives her aunt a kiss on the cheek and sits down on the couch next to her father. "You guys.. Smell it too right?" She asks, and they both look at her with confused faces. "Smell what, LaLa?" Her dad asks and she bites her fingernails, her ears picking up the sound of a piano nearby. "Leeches." She says, and they both shake their heads. "I don't smell anything, hon." Her aunt says and she shook with confusion and anger. "What? Then why can I smell them?" She asks, maybe it was because she wasn't used to the smell like her family. Yeah, that must be it.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Fenton and Emery finish the song, before Fenton stands up and walks over to the large window. He smooths out his black dress pants and white shirt, before he gazes over into the distance at the closest mansion. "You need to practise more, Emery," he says as he looks back at him. Emery shrugs his shoulders, before standing up and walking over to an old fashioned gramophone and investigating it. "I've never really had the nature for piano, it's more your forte, dont you think?" Emery says as he turns to look at his brother, who smiles slightly. He was about to say something as two identical twin girls with white blonde hair and black dresses burst into the room, running over to Emery. He was the only person out of his siblings who looked like his father, black hair and prominent cheek bones, with piercing dark brown eyes, whereas the others had the full faces, white hair, and light blue eyes that they had inherited from their mother.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"I'm gonna go home." Leela says as she gets up and walks out, anxious to get away from that smell. She walks out to her bike, and sniffs the air. He head automatically turns to a certain mansion, looking directly into a window that she couldn't see through. She sighs, shakes her head, then gets on her bike.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

The twins, Cinnabar and Chimera, danced around Emery as they told him all about their day with their nannies. They were only young, but their lives were already set out for them, the same with Fenton. As Fenton was the oldest, he would inherit everything, the house, the business. As Cinnabar and Chimera were female, they would be married to rich men from other clans. Emery was the middle child, expected to be a gentlemen, but with no purpose and no plan, he was useless. The twins nannies came and collected them, and Fenton had business to discuss with their father, so it was just Emery left alone in the room. He walked towards the window, and looked out at the mansion that Fenton had been looking at.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela sighs, still staring at the mansion, then puts on her helmet. Can't believe they can't smell them. She thinks to herself as she starts her bike and backs out onto the road. She gives the house one last glance before the roaring of her motor fills her ears and she gone, never wanting to go back there.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery goes back into his own bedroom, turns his TV on and puts on the gore film 'Inside', he sits on his couch and watches until the scene where the woman cuts open a pregnant ladies stomach with scissors, then turns it off, feeling hungrier than ever. Fortunately, a chime rings in Emery's bedroom, signalling that it's time to go to dinner, so he fixes his hair slightly, and walks down the staircase and down the hall until he gets to the large dining room, the table extending from one end to the other, even though only five people were currently sat at it. Emery takes a seat at the far end of the table, away from everyone else.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela gets to her house, but drives right past it. She was headed to the woods, to phase for the first time in a few weeks. It was eating her alive, and she needed to do it. When she gets to her normal spot she turns off her bike and takes her helmet off. She starts walking into the woods until she felt she was deep enough in that nobody could see her. She removes her clothing and hangs them on a tree, then closes her eyes. A jerk goes through her body, and another one. Pain courses her veins and felt her teeth enlarging. Her skin turned to fur and she shrunk to all fours. The next time she opens her eyes shes a wolf. She raises her head and howls towards the sun.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

His father sends a glare down at Emery, and uses a pale finger to gesture Emery to sit with them. Emery stands up, sits down next to his brother, and glares at his empty plate. Maids come into the room and begin to put items of food onto his plate and his families, then top up each glass with the thick red liquid. His father sips at his as he engages Fenton in small talk, the twins chatter away excitedly to their mother, who looks tired, and isn't really listening. She was never a good mother.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

She only stayed phased for a few minutes, if she stayed phased for to long she'd lose control and go after an innocent animal or even person. She phases painfully back into her human form and puts her clothes back on. She looks up to the sky to see the sun sinking a bit, and she runs back to her bike. Her dad would home soon, and she wanted to be there when he got there. She quickly rides to her home and goes inside. She sits down on the couch in her living room and looked around at the dead animals hanging on the walls. Her father was a hunter, and he got nearly all of his trophy kills stuffed and hung up. She hears the rattling of her father's truck pulling into the driveway so she lays down and closes her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
