   MARRIED BY THE DEAL 
   By Anne Lynch 
     
   
   
   
     
     
   INTRODUCTION 
     
     
   I looked down at my daughter who lay asleep in my arms.I blinked several times to make the tears go away. “ We have some news regarding your daughter Mrs. Cohen. A group of doctors ran tests and we still haven’t figured out what’s wrong with your daughter’s development,” the nurse said. “ Can you do anything?” I asked tears falling down my cheeks. “ No she only has a few days left, I’m sorry,”My heart squeezed the more I thought about it was like a knife had pierced my heart. The nurse quietly left the room. 
     
   I squeezed my only daughter in my arms crying so hard.The hospital room door quietly opened.I looked up to see the most famous pediatrician, Dr.Callister. “ Doctor Callister you have to help me!” I yelled squeezing his arm.” I’ll do anything just say it and I’ll do it!” I sobbed.” Let me take her.I’ll see what I can do rerun the test and come back, but to save your daughter we need a deal,” “Anything just help her!” I begged.He calmly took the baby from my hands. 30 minutes later he came back with her.“Here you go healthy as ever,” he said.I was smiling so hard. My daughter was alive and well.Dr. Callister cleared his throat I looked up at him. “Now for our deal,” 
   16 YEARS LATER 
     
   “Umm Nicole… can you come here please?” My joined my mom in her room. “ What’s up?” I asked sitting down on the cotton bed. “ Well… how do I say this? You were born very weak than other newborns. You didn’t have as much strength as them. You were underweight and not breathing right.” I nodded my head. “There was only one doctor who could save you,and he said I had to do a deal to save you, and ……...that deal was you had to marry his son,” I jumped up from the bed. “ You have got to be kidding me!” I yelled. I stormed out of her room. “Honey I’m sorry it was the only way to save you!” “ I’d rather be dead then marry a total stranger I don’t even know!” I yelled. “ I wasn’t gonna let you go like that!” she screamed walking down the hall. 
     
   I went to my room to see a tall old guy in a suit , and short old lady in a black dress, and a young boy in khaki pants, sperrys, and a white polo shirt. My mouth was open wide. Cause the people in my room were my fiance, father in law,and mother in law. My mom met up with me in my door frame. “ Honey I’m sorry, I should have told you earlier,” I shook my head. 
   My eyes were stinging cause I had tears wanting to fall.The young boy looked annoyed. 
     
   “ Nicole, I think you might know who we are,” the lady said. I nodded and smiled. “ We are very glad to have you in our family,” she said. “ For now call me Nancy,” she came up and hugged me. The guy in the suit was all smiles. Which I found to lighten the mood. “ I’m the doctor who saved you, and my have you grown Nicole!” I smiled. 
     
   “ Thank you,” I replied. “ Call me Charles,” he shook my hand. The boy looked at me glaring. I did too cause I wasn’t going to marry a total jerk at the altar. He had dirty blond hair, blue eyes, and he looked like he had come out of Sharp magazine and he looked so hot! He looked at me hard, glaring, got up and left. My mom spoke up, “ That’s Derrick your fiance,” I nodded calmly, but on the inside I knew wasn’t gonna like him. 
     
   “ Well Nicole the limo will be here to pick you up at 6:00 am to take you to the airport,” Charles told me. “ See you then dear,” Nancy said hugging me. After they left mom and I talked about what had happened when I was born.She had met Derrick five times. Twice when he was a kid and three times during a dinner. He didn’t sound so bad but the way he presented himself today he sounded like a different person. I cried because I realized I was leaving my mom.She comforted me and said she would visit even though Miami and Potomac were really far from each other.We ate dinner, went to the mall, and watched a movie together.Making me forget about tomorrow. 
     
     
     
     
   I woke up feeling refreshed. I looked around. I was on a plane. I was on a PLANE! Derrick was sitting across from me.Smirking. I was in my PJ’s. “ What am doing here!” I shouted. He laughed. “ Flying with me to your new home,” “How did I get on here?” I asked. “ I carried you to the limo and onto the plane…..bridal style,” I laughed a phony laugh. “ Well after yesterday I don’t think I want to marry a ignorant, stupid,ass, bratty, jerk like you,” I said. He just smiled. “ None taken, I was having a bad day,” I smiled slightly. “ So let’s get to know each other, I’m Derrick. I am very popular, I am the football captain, my favorite color is blue,I love all animals, and I live for Chipotle,” I laughed and he did to. “I’m Nicole I love purple, Starbucks,pandas,electronics,I am a soccer player and yeah, that’s me,” 
     
   He looked interested in my life which made me laugh again. “Well you should go change, flight is almost over and we are getting breakfast in the town,” I got up he handed me a bag of clothes. I accepted and walked to the bathroom. I showered, brushed my teeth, did my hair, applied make up, and got dressed I wore a white lace sweater, ripped blue shorts, sandles , my Michael Kors bag, and hoop earrings. I stepped out. The plane had landed and I didn’t even notice.The I thought about Derrick he might have been with a bunch of girls and is using me. I warned myself. 
     
   Derrick and I went to place in D.C. called the Corner Bakery. I got a coffee and muffin.Derrick got a latte and croissant. It was good. We did some sightseeing at the White House, Jefferson Memorial, African American History Museum,and the Washington Monument. We went shopping.Derrick had given me a diamond ring which I gladly accepted 
     
   We got back in the car at 5. “ Did my dad tell you about the wolf pack meeting tonight,” “ What! No!” He looked shocked. “Ok so my family and I are werewolves, tonight is a full moon and we hunt it’s a ritual we also look for our mates,” I was now the one shocked and angry cause werewolves weren’t real. “ You liar! You expect me to believe a lie like that! You know I was right all along you a jerk a….. Bastard.. You expect every girl to believe what you say!” The limo had stooped. 
     
   I opened the door and ran tears burning my eyes. He had lied to me! That sneak. Derrick ran behind me calling out my name. I ran faster than I ever did in my life.I threw the ring to the ground. I suddenly found myself in the woods,in the deep,dark,woods. I stopped. I was panting, hard.I suddenly heard voice. I turned around to see who was there. I then saw quick dark shadows. Then a tall, pale, hot figure with sharp teeth was in front of me. “ Well,well,well looks like we have a small scared human here,” “ Leave me alone jerk,” I shouted. “ I just want something,” he had grabbed my arm.I slapped him. When he got up he looked and I mean really angry.I felt him grab my neck choking me. “ You little deadbeet girl,” He slammed me into and opposite tree. At that point my head was bleeding a lot. “ time to finish you off,”I saw someone take out the person trying to kill me and then everything went black 
     
   I woke up on a hospital bed.I tried to look around turning my head. It really hurt. I decided to lie back down. I managed to take a look though.I saw the curtain light blue ones, two chairs,a beepy thing machine,on my arm was a needle in my veins that connected to a machine, a glass of water, get well cards,balloon,flowers and a box of chocolate. Then somebody walked in. 
     
   It was Dr.Callister. “Well hello Nicole! Good to see you up,” I smiled. “ What happened to me?” I asked, curiously. “ You were strangled,and you had a concussion and your head was bleeding a lot,” he said sitting down with a clipboard in his hands. “Will I get to come back to your place?” “Yes you are leaving in 30 minutes with Mrs.Callister, she’ll take you out to eat, shop, meet someone new,” I thought about it. and Mrs Callister and I really didn’t have much of a relationship, but she seemed nice really nice. 
     
   I nodded. A nurse came into my room helping me walk cause I had been in the hospital for two whole months. I showered, brushed my teeth, and dressed. I wore nice blue jeans,sandals, and a little loose green shirt. I looked fine. Really me. When I came out of the bathroom Mrs.Callister was there. She hugged me. I hugged back. “ Sweetie I’m glad you are all right,” I smiled brightly. “ Well I hope you are ready for today cause we are going to have fun,” Then Dr.Callister re- entered the room. He look sternly at his wife. “ Did you tell her?” he asked. “ I was getting there,” I was really confused. 
     
   Then he faced me all serious like. “ Nicole we need to tell you about the whole incident,” we all took seats. “ Nicole you’re a werewolf,” she said. I opened my mouth. Wide!That’s what Derrick had told me that before I left the car running. I still wasn’t sold. “ Nicole ummm the person you got attacked by was a vampire,” That’s why he looked pale and had sharp teeth! “And we can read other wolves minds,” said Dr. Callister smiling. “ Whoa! So you can know what I’m saying anytime?!” I asked shocked I stood up suddenly from my chair. “ Yes, but don’t worry only when you don’t lock your ,” Mrs. Callister replied. 
     
   “ I also gave you the power pills when you were young at birth, so you have the strength of a werewolf,” Dr.Callister said . My jaw dropped. I was shocked,curious,a little bit mad,and thankful. Mrs. Callister put her hand on my leg,gently. “ You should’ve know before this. Take these pills they are the wolf strength,” I took the tablet of eight white pills.We talked a little bit more. Then Dr.Callister had to treat another patient,so Mrs.Callister and I left. I thought about me being a werewolf,me being wrong about the werewolf thing,me apologizing to Derrick. Derrick! 
     
     
     
   We were in the limo, I had sooooo many questions about the werewolf thing, so I asked Nancy; Mrs. Callister. “ Mrs. Callister how will I turn to werewolf form?” She looked intrigued. “ Well… you’ll feel a tiny pinch than hair will grow all over you, your body will change its form, and your muscles will tense,” “ Ok, I guess it’s not all bad,” I shrugged smiling. She beamed at me. The limo stopped. We were in front of store called ZARA. It looked like where Kim Kardashian would shop. We entered the store; music blasted on the speakers. Clerks wore black attire and looked preppy,chic,and sophisticated all in one look. “ Thalia dear I hope you have in new trends, and attire,” said Nancy. A lady with a tight bun, black sweater,black pants, and black heels appeared.She and Nancy air kissed. “ Hello Nancy.Who is this you have with you today?” She spoke with a thick French accent. “ My son’s fiance,” “ Hello darling. Big day coming up. Yes?” I nodded and smiled. “ Well darling let’s shop till we drop!” she said. 
     
   I found a inter-galatic dress,a pink cheetah scarf,a flower dress,knee velvet boots, black sweater rose gold long dress,cream color Uggs,a gray LA shirt,patriotic shorts,ankle boots,a black ‘n’ white romper,a bomber, platform sneakers, a cute sundress, Marvel’s super hero shirt,a DC legends Harley Quinn tights,a cute beach hat,mom jeans, and cat earrings. “ Honey please help me pick out clothes I’m a wreck,” Nancy laughed. “ Well first you do have looks very good ones so your an empire/rebel in fashion,” I beamed. Nancy laughed. I looked around on a woman’s rack and found a deep blue dress. “ Try this on,” I held it up to her. “ I will never ever ever wear something like that,” she said shocked. I giggled. 
     
   For a mother-in-law she really wasn’t that bad. I begged,” For me?” I said giving a puppy dog face. She snatched the dress from me glared smiling and went to the dressing room. Me on the other hand got some sunglasses,a teal skirt,polka-dot wallet,a flannel pollo,and a cute white dress that looked like formal shirt but wasn’t. I looked towards Nancy’s dressing room and saw her looking amazing in the dress. “ You have to get it!” I cried. “ I don’t know I think it shows too much,” she said blushing. “ No you look like a model that came to life out of a magizzenne ,” “ I’ll get it. I helped Nancy to get a blouse, jumpsuit, and handbag. Me? I got three handbags. We left the mall feeling like celebs. “ So where to next?” I asked very curious. “We’ll let’s stop by Olive Garden for lunch and go to DASH and maybe Bvlgari,” “ Sounds like fun...mom” We both were now smiling. 
     
     
   Lunch was great I had ordered pasta and meatballs Nancy ordered the chicken alfredo. At Dash I got a very deep blue jewel necklace like the one from the movie “Titanic”,a diamond ring,diamond earrings,and a diamond choker. At Bvlgari sunglasses,make up,purse,and a perfume. Nancy might have spended 3,000 dollars already. We were now in the limo heading to the airport to pick up a surprise guest. 
     
   “ Nancy, thank you so much for today really thank you so much,” She smiled. “ Your welcome sweetheart,” the limo stopped. “ Ok now Nicole you are going to love our surprise guests,” I was caught off guard Charles had me told it was only one guest. At that moment the door was opened and a slim girl, with curly brown hair,a floral dress,and heels came and a tall guy with dirty blond hair,silver eyes,blue pollo ,and cream pants. He looked just like Derrick. 
     
   They smiled and approached Nancy. “ Hello Karen and Logan! So good to see you guys. How was Milan?” She hugged and kissed them. “ It was fantastic! The food,resort,people,clothes,art,and history was amazing mother.” said the guy with the silver eyes. “ It was enjoyable and when the trip was over I was so sad to leave,” said the girl. I stood there like a complete stranger. Nancy must have noticed cause then she then introduced me. “Logan,Karen I want you to meet Nicole. Derrick’s fiance,” “ Nicole this Karen and Logan. Karen is Logan’s wife also Logan is your brother-in-law,” I smiled and nodded. “ Hi nice to meet you,” I said. “ Hey Nicole,” he said. 
     
   “Hi Nicole,” Karen commented. Nancy beamed. “Nicole you will have 1 room with Karen and 1 with Derrick. So you can know Karen and know Derrick at the same time.” Karen smiled at me. She looked a little bit older than me which I didn’t mind. She seemed nice,intelligent,and pretty,too. I looked at the sky it was pink,red,orange,blue,and purple.Sundown. “ Well you three it’s time we head on back.” We all piled into the limo. 
     
   Karen and I struck a conversation . We both liked the color purple,lived for our favorite singers ,were Hasley and the Chainsmokers, we prefered horror movies over comedy, kit kats were amazing,drawing anime, pasta is delicious,doing Diys, gymnastics,cooking, and puppies. 
   Logan was really sweet. He said our conversation was boring and he’d rather jump off a cliff.Karen slugged him in the arm. I just laughed. 
     
   I forgot all about Derrick when we reached the house. He was in the backyard with his friends. 
   Two girls and three boys. The air smelt like something was burning. A tent was set up with chairs,lights,a table,food,drink,and water guns. “ Oh I forgot to tell you. We are having a barbecue. The butler will put your objects in your rooms. Go have fun!” Logan took Karen’s hand. They were a perfect couple. I wish Derrick and I were like that.We walked our way over there. 
     
   Karen was all smiles. “ Wanna sit with me,Mia,and Jackie?” “ Who are they?” “My best friends, of course.” “They are really sweet and caring. You’ll like them.” “ Ok I’ll sit with you guys.” We both beamed. I was super nervous. When Derrick saw me walking towards the tent he just looked at me in “I don’t know you ,”look. I just got so angry I steamed up.I walked faster. 
     
   One girl had on a green jumpsuit and leather jacket.Another was wearing ripped up shorts and yellow blouse without sleeves.Karen introduced me. “ Hi chicas!” They smiled and squealed. “ Girls I want to introduce Nicole. My future sister in-law. She’s super nice.” I smiled. That’s Mia,” I shook the girl’s hand in the yellow blouse. She had blonde hair which was in a high ponytail. “ And that’s Jackie. The girl with the leather jacket had red hair. Mia said, “ OMG your so lucky to be marrying Derrick.He’s a sweet guy.” “ Mia! Back off her man. We need to respect that.”said Jackie.I laughed and so did Karen.I mumbled so they wouldn’t hear “ Not that lucky.” 
     
   Kabobs, salad, soda,and cheesecake were amazing.I learned Jackie was a vegetarian and Mia was allergic to cats,dogs,hamsters,and bunnies.We were hanging in the tent which was more of a cabana.Then Derrick appeared in front of us. He had on a pink dress shirt and khaki pants. “ Hi girls! Is it ok if I borrow Nicole for 1 second?” I rolled my eyes. “ Sure,” said Karen. I looked at her like she was crazy. I had already told them about the whole issue. I sighed really loud. I only did it because I didn’t want to make a scene. We walked past the garden,patio,farm,and pool. We came to the vineyard. His place was HUGE! “Sooo… you feeling better?” I scowled. “ Why would you care?” He had a look of sadness in his eyes. “ Cause when that vampire took you down I thought you were gone,” I looked up at him. 
     
   “Thank you for saving me, and I’m sorry for acting like a twit,” I whispered. He smiled crookedly. “I’m sorry for not caring and coming sooner to the hospital.” We heard screams in the distance. 
   “ They are playing with the water guns wanna go join them?” “Sure.” I answered. “Oh Nicole,” I looked at his hand. The ring! He kneeled on one knee like he was proposing. I was smiling. I took the ring and we walked our way back to the group. By that time a lot more people had showed up. 
     
   I sided with Karen Mia and Xavier.Derrick’s friend.Each team had 10 water guns.So what if was childish.Our team won.Derrick picked me up and swing me over his shoulder.I begged for release he gave it to me we both were laughing.Then Nancy called everyone to the tent.There must have been over 80 people. Karen,Mia,and Jackie grabbed my hand. “ OMG this is it! Wolfpack meeting.And Chris is here!” said Jackie. 
     
   “ Who’s Chris Jackie? Is he your boo boo bear?” I smiled acting romantic and gushy. She pushed me. “ He is. He and Jackie have know each other since they were kids. They fight all the time.” said Mia “ I hate him! He’s rude annoying a pig, snobby,and cold! You just don’t want to meet him, trust me.” I laughed. *glass clinking* “May I have your attention?” I want to thank you all for coming tonight. This is a very special night for some of you the first full moon hunt other you have done this many times. I want to give a toast to our tribe and for the long long long centuries we have to live. May we hunt best and live long.” said Charles. “ We have 20 seconds till transformation I would like the new wolves to go on one side and major wolves on the other.” I walked to where the rookies were. They looked really scared. I couldn’t blame them I was anxious myself. 
     
   “ Aroooo ar ar aroooo,” the kids around me looked really really worried.Their eyes turned either gold bronze or silver.I looked out at Derrick.He was fledging.Soon I fledged to. 
     
     
   I looked down at myself. I had gray fur it tingled,but I didn’t care. I saw the other wolves howling,chasing after their tails, leaping, and running into the forest. Soon every wolf was running into the forest.I attained a really high speed,but the other wolves ran really fast to. I decided to run another way. Being elusive I ran from the group. The trees grew taller with leaves and twigs on the ground. The wind was really cold, but thanks to the fur I kept tepid. I heard noise and then a crack behind me. I whipped around. I saw a kid my age in ripped blue jeans and a gray shirt. He had brown hair and a dark sun kissed skin. At that point I was so shaken my wolf form disappeared and was on my knees in my sport bra shorts. He looked at me. I stood up. I could tell I looked bad. “ You have sticks in your hair.” “ I know” I replied. He walked towards me and pulled out a muddy stick. “ I’m Justin.” “I’m Mia.” “ So you’re a wolf. I nodded. “ I’m a vampire.” My mouth was a huge o. “ Your bastard friends put me in the hospital.” I looked at him with fierce eyes. “ It’s not my fault they did that!” “ Well you’re a vampire I can’t trust you!” “Don’t judge a book by its cover Mia.” He smirked. “Well this is a free country…. So let me judge.” “Ok rebel.” He smiled. I felt weird inside. “ You need clothes.” My cheeks were sooo red.I looked down at my body. 
     
   Thank God I was a soccer player.Need to stay fit. 
   “Come with me,”he said I followed. “Here is my shirt and some jeans.” I put on his clothes. They smelled of Pine Sol. I liked it. “ Your welcome Mia.” “Thanks.” “So do you and your people have like a village for just you beings or do you live in public undercover?” I asked. He smiled, “We live in a town square.It’s spread out though, lots of trees and waterfalls. It sounds depressing, I know.” I laughed no it seems pretty cool.” The sun started to rise.It brought red,pink, purple. “ You can see it sometime, till the next full moon.”I smiled. “ See you later,” I said as he started to run. His running was swift,fast,and graceful. It started slow then fast. 
     
     
   I walked back to the house. Which was a long walk. About 56 minutes. When i came through the back door Derrick, Nancy,Karen, and Logan were eating breakfast. “ Nicole, where have you been?” “I ran into the woods and then the sun came up and I decided to walk back.” Nancy laughed, “ I was like you leaving the pack and sprinting off.” I smiled slightly. “ Do you want breakfast?”Karen asked. “ I’m fine, just a muffin.” I grabbed a banana muffin. “ I need to sleep,” “ Oh ok well let Derrick show you your room,” said Nancy. Derrick was wearing a blue shirt and matching blue shorts for pj’s. I didn’t notice the place. Chandeliers on the ceiling, maroon carpeting, and many famous old paintings. “ Nice place,” 
   “ Thanks don’t forget it’s yours to.” He smiled. Even with his messy hair he was cute. “ This is your place,” The room had huge windows giving a view of the place, the walls were blue navy, there was a chandelier overhead, the bed had Egyptian cotton. I had a huge walk in closet, the bathroom had a shower,jacuzzi, closet, in front of the the bed was a glass screen there was fish behind it,there was alot to the room.A LOT. 
     
   “ You like it?” “Love it,” He wrapped his arms around my waist. “Mmmmmhhhh,” I smiled. We looked at each other.He kissed me pasionately i did to. “So you finally warm up to me,” he smirked. I rolled my eyes in jest. “ Do you want marry me or not?” I joked He smiled . “ Well have a nice sleep Sleeping Beauty,” he walked out of the room.I decided to have a look around my room. Entering my huge closet, with stairs! I had all these designer clothes. Kate and Spade, Hollister, Ugg,Gucci,Adidas,Louis Vuitton,Chanel, Versace,Boss, Tommy Hilfiger,Nike,Zara, Levi’s,Converse, Nine West,and Prada. These people were REALLY RICH. I decided to take a bath. There was granite walls. A huge bowl in the center which was the bathtub,there was a glass shower with such elegance,a tv, candles,2 sinks, a fireplace, and a huge view of the yard. The bathroom smelled of roses. I couldn’t believe this enourmos place. 
     
   I then remembered to text Kylie. I never texted her! I pulled out my Iphone 8in a flash and texted her 
     
   KYLIE :)

   I was gonna text back Kylie when Nancy ran into the room, screaming “ Your late!” “ For what!” “ BOARDING SCHOOL AT PREP VALLEY,’MAIDS!” 8 young ladies in knee length black dresses,and white collared buttoned down shirt. They all looked pretty tired.I couldn’t blame them. “ Ok ladies 3 pack her bags 1 set out her uniforms and the rest of the 4 go clean her up.” Next I was in the big bowl. “ Hi Im Patrice.” said the lady giving out directions. She had black hair pulled into a french braid and she had crystal blue eyes. 
   ‘ That’s Molly, Rose,and Jillian.” “ She has soft delicate skin.” Said Jillian. ‘ Sweetie what color for your fingernails?” “ Burgundy please” “ Thank you Rose.” She smiled at me.I liked these maids. “ Her bags are packed!” Make her breakfast and get her schoolbooks!” hollered Patrice. They poured lavender body wash on me, shampooed my hair and gave me a facial. “Will it be like this everyday?” 
     
   Molly laughed “ Heavens no!” “ No painting your nails everyday.” “ Everything else is everyday.” she giggled. And I laughed. They dried me off and blow dried my hair, applied makeup and perfume to me, they straightened my hair in 5 minutes. They were fast. “ We did everything just grab your versace bag 2 suitcases backpack and put on your uniform and heels.” Molly panted. She left the room.My uniform had a red jacket, red and black plaid skirt,white blouse,red and black plaid tie, black heels,and white knee high socks. I looked in the mirror.I was more than Nicole I was pretty. “NICOLE!” “ coming” I grabbed my bags and raced downstairs. Derrick was waiting for me with his suitcases and car keys. I walked towards him. He pulled me towards his chest and planted a kiss on top of my forehead. 
     
   “ You look beautiful.” “Thank you.” i smiled. “Oh my goodness you two look beautiful.”Nancy had on a white collared blouse, black pants, and black heels. “ Mom we need to go,” complained Derrick. “ One picture,” A photographer had a huge flashy black camera. “ Thank you Pierre,” “Okay go to school,” “ See you in March.” Derrick and I walked to the limo. Logan and Karen were in the car as well. A butler took our bags and put them in the trunk. The drive wasn’t to our school it was to our private airplane. 
     
   “ Hello Shelia,” said Logan. I laughed. “ You name your private jets?” asked Karen giggling. “ Oh yes that’s how rich we act.” said Derrick I came to Karen’s side and said and douchey.” Karen laughed. Karen and I sat next to each other. “ I’m not ready.” ‘Of course you are,” “ no i’m not new school,marriage, BOARDING SCHOOL,werewolf,! Karen how are you so chill about this?” “ Well Logan and I have 50/50 percent in our love.” See if you and Derrick’s love is 40/60 60 on your part it won’t work.” I nodded. A lady appeared in a blue navy airline outfit. “ Hi ladies would you like to eat something?” “ “Yes please 2 plates of cinnamon pancakes, a plate of sausage and scrambled eggs, and can we get two cups of orange juice? Thank you.” I said . The lady nodded and walked away. “ Hungry much?” Karen laughed. “ Hell yeah that muffin wasn’t enough.” “Your a fat ass pig,” We both laughed. The food came. The cinnamon pancakes were sooo good and the sausage. The eggs were shitty. But I managed to swallow. As I finished my juice Logan appeared. “ Hey plane is gonna land soon.” “wait logan where is our school?” “ It’s in North Carolina. Prep Valley, look at the brochure” 
     
   I looked at the brochure, the school had horseback riding,swimming,tennis,hockey,ballet,football, canoeing, and soccer. They had a cafe in the lunchroom. They even had a library which is tech based with charge pod,ipads,macbooks , and get this returning book drones. The dorms had 1 bathroom, a kitchen,and 2 seperate rooms with a closet. We had a curfew classes start at 7:30 and school ends at 3 from there after school clubs run from 3;15 to 4; and the rest of the hour from 4 to 10 is all our freetime. We get 3 meals which are provided by the cook. And the basketball court library and cafe are always open. 
     
     
   The plane landed after a while. Which followed by another limo ride this one was longer. “You nervous?” Derrick asked. “How could I not be!?” i laughed. “ Well I am not gonna be with you in the dorm, some girl named Kylie.” I thought for a minute. My Kylie. I decided to call her 
     
   K: hey bestie hows hunky werewolf guy 
   Me: fine lol 
   Me: hey umm what school do you go to now 
   K:look out your window
