Ah the hallowed halls of Dulaney High, I surely will not miss you after I graduate this year. I was pretty happy to be done with school. I hated it here and the only thing that kept me going was my four best friends, Alex, Jack, and Rian went to Dulaney with me while Zack was at Towson.

I decided to give a shit today on how I looked and put on the best outfit I could. As I was at my locker, getting my things organized, I caught a scent I never wanted to while I was in this crappy institution called high school. I smelled wolves. I looked down the hall and I saw Alex, Jack, and Rian walked towards me. The scent of wolves got stronger with each step towards me they took. I slammed my locker shut and I ran outside.

"Whoa, Av, where are you going," Alex asked as he caught me by my arm out in the pavilion outside the cafeteria.

"C'est quoi ce bordel que tu as fait pendant que j'étais en France cet été," I asked him quickly, not giving a shit that he didn't know French.

"Aveline slow the fuck down and speak English," Alex threw his hands up in defense.

"What the fuck did you do this summer while I was in France, Alex," I asked him, accent was really heavy.

"We accepted our family heritages," he replied.

"You mean you accepted the werewolf curse," I snapped at him, "Alex I'm a hunter. I took my vows in Marseilles."

"Shit," Alex ran a hand over his face.

"God this is so not good, Alex," I sat down under my usual tree, "The full moon is Friday. Are you ready to deal with that?"

"We've turned once before, Aveline," Alex told me, "We can handle it."

"I want to be there to help keep you contained in your basement," I told him.

"Deal," Alex pulled me into a hug and gave me a warm squeeze, "We'll always be best friends, Aveline. I promise you that."

I was at home studying when I heard pebbles hitting my window. I got up from my desk and I saw Alex standing down below. I shook my head and opened my window.

"Aveline, be a doll and throw down our rope ladder please," Alex asked. I rolled my eyes and smiled a him before I tossed the rope ladder over the window sill and outside to Alex.

Once Alex climbed into my room, he laid down on my futon under my loft bed. He let out a huge sigh before he looked over at me.

"Where are you parents and Jeremie," he asked.

"Out hunting and Jeremie is at college in Paris now," I told him, "They won't be back until Sunday."

"So you have the house to yourself until Sunday," Alex was plotting something.

"No parties at my house, Alex," I told him.

"I was think that we should actually just have a movie night with guys and their girls tomorrow night," he offered.

"Can't I have violin lesson tomorrow followed by piano," I told him.

"They're still having you tutored in piano and violin. I thought you were done," he asked.

"I'm getting ready for my final recital in December, Alex. I'm almost done with it," I told him, "We can movie night on Thursday."

Notes

The re-write is here. I will provide translation of what Aveline says as I write. Having her speak french will help me practice writing it better since I suck at it and it's my possible double major so yeah. I can speak french very well, but writing it is so fucking hard for me.
