Miranda<br/><br/>Maranda sat the edge swaying her legs and feet in the water. She thought about the swim team. It would be days before she would be ready for practice. She wanted to the marks hidden. She just hopped this school year would pass. If she met friends they would be anything but wolves. The bell rang while she looked over her schedule.<br/><br/>The next class was World Literature. Stories from other cultures could not be bad. Hope there is no poetry. Hard enough to understand in English. Can't imagine in another language or culture. She dried her legs in the sun and headed upstairs.<br/><br/>The teen did not see the male turning the corner so fast and they collided. There before was the male she had tried avoid at all costs.<br/><br/>"Hey! Owe. Watch it. Alpha. Ya got everyone fooled but not me. What is up with you scaring people?  Is that what they teach pack leaders? See here you ain't no different from my cousin. You're not bad looking if ya didn't snarl and bare ya teeth. Is there some rule Alpha's ain't allowed to have or make friends?"<br/><br/>She held her books over her chest. She did not want a fight. Stryker reminded of her cousin and he'd just spend his life challenging wolves. Maybe she could get Stryker to explain why.
