Not Fun

{ Kingsley }
My mother keeps yelling and screaming things on the way to the house but I can't pay attention, the only thing on my mind is how much I want to stay with Alpha and keep touching his hair and ears.
If I could stay with him forever that would be amazing.
"You're grounded," my mother says, getting my attention this time, "You can't go back to that house until you stop behaving like that every time you see that boy. He's a bad influence on you."
"He's not!" I defend him, my hands fisted and my chest filling with anger, "I just really like spending time with him and I hate that you never let me do it. I hate you!"
My mom gasps in horror and I immediately feel bad for saying that, but I can't deny that I seriously feel that way right now. I hate her for not letting me be with him.
My mom stays silent for around six seconds until we arrive at our house. My mom parks and gets out without saying anything else to me. I wish she would just yell right now instead of later.
I get out of the car too but instead of going inside, I look down the street to the Taffy's house. I really want to go back there, why can't I? I truly don’t understand why they all have to stop me from getting what I want. I hate that I just have to accept what people ask me to do.
I sigh and walk inside my house, going straight to my room. I stay locked in there until my alpha mother comes in to start yelling at me for saying something so mean to my mom. I look down with shame.
"And like she said, you can never see that boy again if that's how you're going to behave," she finally says in a harsh voice before walking out of my room.
I love my moms, but I don't care what they say about this. And they act like I’m the worst son ever, even after I go out and try to apologize. Ugh.
The next day I arrive at school with excitement thinking about spending more time with my friend, but Laurie doesn't sit next to me this time. One of his twin cousins beats him.
The next day, I arrive too late and have to sit in a seat all the way in the back, away from Laurie.
But on the third day I see Laurie sitting alone at a table and I sit next to him immediately. I can see his whole body moving as if he's excited, but he doesn't turn to look at me.
I don't waste any time.
"Laurie, show me your wolf ears today at lunchtime," I ask very, very quietly because I know it's a secret, but Laurie turns to look at me with a frown of annoyance and shakes his head, "Please."
"No. I can't do that at school."
"We can do it just the two of us, hiding," I continue, earning another look of annoyance.
"My daddy said no," he replies, as if that's a big deal. Who listens to their parents? Adults are boring and just want to ruin the fun.
"And?"
"And I'm a good kid, the best in all of Fallonmore. I can't do that," he explains, making me let out a sound of complete annoyance. The entire rest of the day I don't speak to Laurie.
The next day I don't speak to him either, except at lunchtime because I can't wait any longer. I want to see Alpha and I won’t let Laurie stop me.
I watch Laurie until he finishes eating and then I walk over to his table to take his hand and pull him. Laurie frowns, but just asks his cousins to put his things away and then lets himself be pulled by me until we reach the yard.
"There's no one here, just you and me," I say, looking up hopefully, "Let me see your ears. Let your wolf out."
Laurie thinks about it for a while. He looks all around fearfully, but then nods and in less than a second I can see him shift right in front of me.
His ears prance out, his eyes grow dark, his scent feels different and I feel full again. Finally. I shriek with excitement as Alpha comes back to me and I push him, making him push me back and so we finally start playing.
I feel so good playing around with him that I completely forget that we were short on time. I only remember when two people come up to us, extremely angry.
"Kingsley! Laurent! What are you guys doing here, playing?!" shouts an incredibly angry woman as she approaches us. Immediately Laurie comes back to his mind and looks panicked, "You should have been back in the classroom half an hour ago!"
"Sorry," I mutter, but she doesn't care. She crosses her arms across her chest and tells us we'll have detention after school before yelling for us to come back. Laurie starts to follow her, so I have to do the same.
"See? This is your fault!" He spits in a whisper as we walk back, "I can't let him out at school."
This time I really feel bad.
"I'm sorry, Laurie," I apologize quietly too, causing my friend to relax a little, "It's just that I have so much fun with him."
"We can play at home. Just not here," he says, his anger minimal now.
"Okay," I whisper in annoyance.
I seriously hate school and all the classes, I just wish I could play with Alpha all day, every day.
After school I spend detention with Laurie, just the two of us. We have to be in complete silence and the teacher forces us to read a boring book and answer questions.
When detention is over and we are free, we walk outside together and see our parents waiting for us there. My mom has her arms crossed and looks very mad.
"What happened, Kingsley? Why did you decide to skip class?" my mom demands when we get to them.
"It was all his fault!" Laurie answers immediately, startling me. All I can do is blink. I mean, I know it's my fault but why does he have to say it? "King forced me to let my wolf out and wanted to keep playing even though the bell rang. Daddy, I swear, it wasn't my fault."
"I'm sorry," I blurt out through my teeth, calming my urge to smack Laurie to shut his mouth, "I was having too much fun with Alpha."
"That's not an excuse. School is for learning, not fun!" my mother scolds.
"It’s okay… just please don't do it again," Laurie's dad asks me, "Laurie's wolf is not allowed out at school, okay? You only can play with him in our house."
I nod, but Laurie gives me an ugly look as they walk away from us and I realize Laurent is no fun at all.
I don't even like him. It’s a shame Alpha is trapped inside of him.
➿➿➿➿
Laurie's not the same after that day. He's mad at me all the time and refuses to talk. He even starts sitting somewhere else and completely ignores me when I try to get close to talk to him.
But sometimes when I least expect it, Laurie comes to my house with his ears out and I get to spend time with my favorite wolf.
