Chapter 1
As she walked to school thinking of what she was going to do, she turned and bumped into Cassidy. She just happened to be the biggest bully in the school.
"Hi, Cadaria. What's up?" she asked.
"Nothing. I thought you were going to pulverize me!"
"Oh. That's just school business." She was very pretty. She had silver eyes and white hair. I had short blond hair and blue eyes. I had always wished to talk to Cassidy without getting my face pounded in. And it was happening!
"Well, I have to get home. See ya."
________________________________________________
"What was that about?" I asked my best friend Cadaria. I couldn't figure out why she was talking to my older sister. At first I thought she had confused her with me, but unlike myself she didn't live in England for thirteen years and couldn't fake my accent. That and we looked nothing alike. "Well, answer me."_
___________________________________________________
"I don't know!" yelled Cadaria angrily. "Let's just get to school. I heard there's going to be a really cute guy coming today. He is hot!
"Ok so I didn't want to tell Hal that her sister and me were friends now. But I can't hurt her feelings that's to mean! When we got to school the teacher called me over to her desk.
"Cadaria. I need you to show Michael around the school. He doesn't know much Japanese and your the only student who knows tons of English."
"Hey! I'm Michael. Who's your friend who's staring at me and... yuck she's drooling!"
"Meet my best friend Hal."
"Oh! Hello. How are you? Nice to meet you!"
"I'm fine. Where's your seat Cadaria?" Michael asked in a hurry."Over here."After school I don't think Hal was to happy to see me. One hint: she was screaming!____________________________________________________
"Why didn't you tell me the truth?!" I shrieked as soon as I saw Cadaria emerge from the school building.
"Tell you the truth about what?" she was confused.
"I know about the party tonight! You promised you were going to come to my game!" I fussed at her. She still looked at me confused.
"What are you talking about?" she had the nerve to ask me. I shoved the paper in her face. She read it.
"My Japanese may not be that good but I know that says 'Party tonight at Cadaria Yuki's! If you were going to skip my game to have a party that's fine, but the fact that you lied to me about it AND didn't bother to invite me! That just makes me furious!" I ignored the further looks of astonishment and stormed away books in hand.
____________________________________________________
After that I knew who did it.
"Michael, you jerk. How could you do that to me? Now Hal wishes I would die! How did you learn how to write in Japanese anyhow?"
"Well, for one I hate Hally's guts. Two I hate your guts. And three I want to brake you up."
"Well you did a good job of it," Cadaria screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Now she thinks I'm not coming to her game and she's probably going to scream at me again if I show."All of a sudden without noticing what I was doingI lunged at him. Hitting him was all I could think to do now."Cadaria! What in the world our you doing?" Mrs. Harp asked as she pulled me off of Michael.
"I could hear you two all the way down the hall and when I get here your trying to kill each other!"As she dragged me to Mr. Latter I thought I would die. He suspended me for two days and Michael for one. After that I headed as fast as my legs would let me to the basketball game.
____________________________________________________
I heard the siren blare. I stood, ball in hand, in front of the goal. All I had to do was make this shot, and I would win us the game. The first game Ten'un Haisuku-ru won in over two months. I could feel the sweat beading on my forehead. "Yes," I thought to myself. "This is why I play the game." With 5 seconds on the clock I made my shot. I watched the orange orb float with ease through the air. It twirled it's way to the very tip of the goal...YES! All I could hear was the pounding of my own heart and the cheering of the crowd. I saw 2 points being added to the score and the game was over. We had won. A gush of ecstatic players and fans alike swarmed around me. The one person I didn't see coming to congratulate me was the general. My mood dampened. "He didn't come." I whispered to myself as they began to haul me off. I wanted to cry.
"You did it!" came an excited voice. I looked over my shoulder. A hyper blonde bounded my way. My mood switched from depressed to just plain angry. "What do you want?" I snapped at her."Look, the party thing was not my fault." She stated over the cheers. I ignored her and walked towards the women's locker room. "You've got to believe me." I stopped and turned to face her. Her sorry blue eyes pleaded with my angry green ones."Ok." I huffed. "I believe you." She smiled at me. My thoughts went back to the general. Her smile faded."He didn't show, did he?" She seemed a bit mad."No." I pouted. She pursed her lips and shook her head."He'll be sorry he missed a great game." she smirked. I knew she was trying to make me feel better."I don't care that he didn't come to my game," I lied. "I don't have a ride home now.""How did you get here?""I walked." I opened the locker room door. "As usual." I added. Cadaria didn't say anything as I went inside. She knew why I didn't want to walk back. It was night and I had a deep fear of the dark. I changed and went back out. Cadaria was talking with my sister. They looked at me."Cadaria told me what happened. I can take you home." She offered."Thanks." I told her, saying it, not meaning it. I grabbed my stuff and we headed for her car.Time passed. I was still mad and refused to talk to my best friend. It didn't matter anyway. She was having a wonderful conversation with my stupid stuck up sister. I could see my ticked reflection in the window. I wanted to do nothing more than smash the ugly face that looked back at me, but I didn't. The last thing I needed was Cassidy chewing me out for breaking her window. The car stopped. I could see we weren't at home."What did we stop here for?" I asked her with an attitude."I need gas." She simply said and got out."Come on." Cadaria gestured for me to fallow them out. At first I was reluctant, then the car grew dark. I fallowed her into the quick shop. We never said a word to each other as she looked around at the selection of snack chips. Just then the most horrific thing happened."Don't let them take me!" Some man shouted grabbing hold of my shirt. I screamed. "Please!""Let go of her!" Cadaria commanded. Trying to peel him off."No! Don't let them! Can't let them!" His scared almost black eyes glowed a fluorescent green. I screamed again and even Cadaria backed way. A glow the colour of his eyes leaked from his finger tips. It turned into a liquid as he grabbed me face. "CAN'T LET THEM!" He squished my face. Cadaria tried to get him off of me again. The stuff off his hands smeared on her too as he snatched her arm. "PLEASE!" My heart calmed."I suggest," I declared as clearly as I could. "You let go of my face.""Oh no." Cadaria told him with a smirk. "You made her mad." I gave her a knowing look and we both grabbed his arms. In a single thrust the two of us flipped him over the beef jerky display. I wiped some of the green gunk from my face as the police came in to take the lunatic away."It's too late!" He cheered. "It's too late! The genes have been spread!" I felt a hard lump come into my throat. I couldn't even swallow.

Chapter 2
That night I couldn't sleep. Flashes of the crazy man kept running in front of my eyes when I closed them. I couldn't think straight. My face was sweating like it did at the game, only this time I wasn't pumped up. My eyes began to burn but I was too afraid to close them. I stared at the nightlight beside my bed. "You're too old for that silly thing," I remembered the general telling me. Afterward he had torn it from my wall and thrown it away. It took Cadaria and I over five hours to find it again at the city landfill. I smiled despite the pain it caused my face. She was a good friend. I wish I hadn't been so rude to her earlier, but it was too late now. I finally closed my eyes and drifted away.
____________________________________________________
The next day at school I noticed Hal wasn't thereand wondered why. My Spanish teacher gave us a ton of work and I was happy for it because I wanted to spend a lot of time with Hal this afternoon. She taught us how to say, 'Las muchachas y los muchachos adolescentes son manera a hiperactivo y deben estudiarmas a menudo.' Which means The adolescent girls and boys are way to hyperactive and often must study. I great fun telling Hally about it because when our teacher finished she let out a big fart. When I got to Hally's house I could see her father but I couldn't hear him. He was yelling and screaming but what about?____________________________________________________
"Why didn't you go to school today?!" the general screamed at me. My head was pounding and I couldn't figure out why. "I was sick..." I whimpered. He was really mad at me."I don't care if you were about to die! You do NOT exempt yourself from ANY activity! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" he shouted."Yes, sir..." I almost began to cry. I could feel my throat swelling. "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" he chanted."Yes, sir!" I said like a common soldier. Daddy's little girl. He didn't smile as he stormed off. I felt nauseated and rushed past someone on the way to the bathroom.
____________________________________________________
After Hal came out of he bathroom she went straight to her room. Passing me again without saying anything. When I got in I started talking to her trying to get her mind off her father and that extremely creepy man."Something strange is going on here Hally.""I know have you felt like there is always butterflies in you stomach?""Yeah! It's creepy. I mean I am having dreams and they are of our friends and they are getting hurt. Then the next day they do!""Me too. Did Michael brake his back today?""Yeah he did. I broke it for him!"As we were both giggling Hally's father walked in."WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT HAVING FRIENDS OVER WITHOUT ASKING ME FIRST?""Mr. Hendreson please! I came in on my on free will. It's not her fault!"As he approached me I felt my bones go cold. Thenwithout warning I slapped him and grab Hally's hand. As I walked out with Hally still right behind I felt that I needed to tell her. And now!____________________________________________________
"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!" I was hysterical. "The general will officially KILL me when I get home! He'll never let you over again!" I jerked my hand away from my best friends sweaty grasp. "HE'LL REALLY KILL ME!" Oops maybe I over heated. I threw up on Cadaria's new shoes."Ewww." We said together.
____________________________________________________
"That was gross Hally! I really need to tell you something and you might be doing this too.""What?""I am a super hero and I have been saving people!""Are you wearing your wonder bra again?""I'm serious.""Yeah, right. The only thing I am right now, is super sick.""Yes you are but what does THAT have to do with anything?""I don't know. I feel bad. The world must pay consequences, dad gumit!" Then I watched in amazement as an aura of fire surrounded Hally and she appeared in a very skanky outfit...and so did I."What the? Hally this is scary! I don't want to be this way!""Whoa, I'm hot! In more ways than one!" Hal ignored my remark. We looked at each other for a long minute. "Bad feeling..." Hal muttered heading for the nearest trash can.
Chapter 3
"AHH!" Came the scream. Hally and I raced towards the park. "What the..." Hal was about to swear until she saw all the little kids running around. "What is it?!""God they were just playing Hally! We made a mistake! I fell so stupid!"We?" Hal added."This is just perfect," I said as the little kids started over to us to get an autograph. "Right now, I hate kids!""They don't know the difference between a TV star and a freak." Hal muttered."Hey! We're not freaks!" I yelled."I'm wearing a bathing suit with long sleeves." The red head pounded out of the park. She looked like a ticked cat. Just then I heard a loud scream and started to run again. This time Hally didn't follow. Someone definitely was in trouble now. I knew it."This is a stick up!" Some man in a black ski mask pointed a large gun at the clerk inside the gas station. The chubby guy helped himself to some nachos."STOP!" I yelled blasting in. "Leave these people alone!""And whose gonna stop me?" He looked me up and down. "You?" He chuckled."And her friend!" Hal yelled behind me. I smiled and folded my arms."And maybe my inner wolf!" I said as I transformed into a gray wolf. The fat man backed up into the combo's display astonished."Cool! Cad!" Hal exclaimed. "You gotta teach me that one!" Hally lifted one hand into the air. "All I can do is this!" A water balloon formed itself from the moisture in the air. Only there was no balloon. "Yah!" She threw it with deadly accuracy at the gun. When it hit the metal rusted it unusable."Watch this!" I ran hitting a display and it fell on the man with the rusted gun! He seemed very astonished as I bit his hand that was reaching for the other gun in his pocket.That's when the cops showed up."Hold it right there lady!" They pointed a gun at...Hal?"Wait just a dad-gum minute!" Hally argued. "Help me officers." The fat man pleaded from beneath the Doritos. "I'm being attacked." I growled at him."That's enough. You'll have to come with us." One of the police officers replied. Hal's mouth gapped open when they grabbed her."He was robbing the store!" She yelled pointing at the recovering fat guy."Is that true?" One of the three officers asked."No sir. I was just buying some chips.""Yeah. With a five finger discount." I thought to myself. "HEY! Who're you gonna believe? Me or the guy in the mask carrying a gun?!""What? This old thing?" The man started. "It can't be used for anything. I was just showing it to my friend here. And I'm wearing a mask because I just came back from skiing." He answered quickly."You lying son of a...!" Hal jerked at the cop's grasp while I made my quick get away. I'll have to bail Hal out of jail later. Later I went to the jail. And not as a human either! But as a wolf. I didn't have enough money to bail her and her father wouldn't give ME money. So I came threw like I was a rabid dog and grab the keys. Then I gave them to Hal and she got on my back and we left."God Hally! Your heavy!" I said once we got to the park. "I'm changing back get off." Hal merely moaned. She must have been having another sick attack. "NOT on ME you don't!" I yelled bucking her off. After I changed back I tried to wake her up but she was out. So I took her to her sister. The only one who would listen. |
