The Cursed Mate

Chapter 2: Is it time?

"We're so sorry for not telling you Amelia."

*Sorry? They're sorry for not saying a pack, a possible pack could take me in to tell me the truth?* Holding my head with my hands "Mom, Dad it's okay. You must have had a reason for doing what you did" I didn't know if crying or joy was needed. I didn't know what would happen if I left, would I ever see Wyatt again? Would I be allowed back? What if my actual pack found me? Would I be force to leave to join them or stay with the one who opened up for me? So many questions were running through my head.

The day went so fast, I wasn't aware it was night. My parents had already gone to bed,I had been in my head for hours it'd seem. Looking down at my phone. *40 missed calls, 27 missed texts* "S**t"

I thought I should call back and answer but what would i say? I can't tell anyone what I am or what I figured out.

RING RING RING

Wyatt starts calling again, this time I wonder if answering would be bad but he's my best friend. I take a deep breath "Hey wya-" "Don't you hey Wyatt me. Why haven't you answered your phone? I sent you texts, didn't you see them? Amelia what has gotten into you? what's going on?..." He rambled on for about 20 minutes, about what? I couldn't tell you. After he finished "Are you done Wyatt? Look I know I have a lot to tell you, trust me I want to tell you. But I'm just not able to just yet, it's a erm... surprise and you're not allowed to be involved" hoping he wouldn't realize it was a lie by my voice. "Have you any idea how worried I've been? and you're telling me it's over a surprise? it better be worth it."...*well that didn't go as planned but it worked*

smiling to myself with his answer.

Let me tell you that boy can talk, we haven't spoken in a day and he talked my phone to low battery and my ear completely off my head.

It was just about 4:30 am of the next day when we finally got off the phone for school in 2 hours. KNOCK KNOCK "Come in" I yell leaving my bathroom door cracked to hear who walked in as I started getting dress. "Hey Ams, since your birthday is in two days." her voice cracking "Would you want to do anything special? It being the biggest day of your life soon?" Mom sounded so sad that my heart ached for her.

"Sure Mom" opening the bathroom door completely dressed in blue jeans, black tank top, hair in two pigtails with black sketchers "What should we do? we haven't thought much about this birthday" walking over to sit on the bed. "We could throw a party" she gave me one funny furred eyebrowed reminding me of just the other night. "I'll behave. I can learn to control" sighing out "it'll probably be my last time here anyways" tears by then had started rolling down my face unable to be contained. Mom walked over to give me a hug and tears just couldn't be held anymore.

4:55

We stayed like that for a few minutes before she let go to make breakfast. Couple minutes after I made my way to eat as Wyatt walked in for some food. "Couldn't knock?" "Who? me? Knock? who else would have just walked in?" we laugh.

"Alright you to, eat then head off to school.Wyatt always good to see you, Ams you try to have a good day okay?" nodding as I stuffed my mouth with bacon and pancakes while Wyatt stuffs with pancakes and eggs smiling. By then mom had already started making her and dad's plate to head to the room so they could get ready and eat at the same time.

5:45 am after dishes all washed and food all put up. Wyatt started his truck waiting for me as he already had my book bag and door open for me. "Bye mom and dad, were off to school, see you later!" I yelled hoping they'd hear.

6:15 am

*It wasn't that long of a drive but someone liked stopping for snacks and drinks to last his day.* talking to myself.

Finally at school, we went on as usual, but I completely had forgotten that everyone would end up talking about what had happened.

"That's her" "she's the one who pinned her" "she's not even attractive and she's friends with him" "they can't honestly still be friends after that". Oh how I wished I never came to school but that was only the beginning. "Amelia Blackwood to the principals office" came up over the intercom. *This is going to be the end before the end, there goes my scholarship, my diploma* shaking my head walking to the principals office.

I knock on the door "Come in" he says as I opened it up and go sit down. "So I hear you got physical with another student at a party?" I didnt bother to look at him "sir with all due respect it was off school grounds and a weekend being none of your concern. What had happened, happened but that is between me and her, not you sir" you could tell I was getting angry because there really was no reason he called me in.

"Amelia are you aware that everyone is talking about it, so it comes to my attention" *oh boy here we go* thinking as I roll my eyes. "Comes to your attention sir? A fight off campus and on a weekend is your attention? But not the millions of fights through school? The hundreds of pranks and injuries that occur daily? The amount of students that come to you for help?" I sit up in the chair and look him in the eye "You are more concerned about that but not those? With due respect, it is almost graduation and half of those I've mentioned are still going to be here next year while you are worried about what happened on a weekend?". I start to stand up and head for the door "I think the superintendent would love to hear about this. I'm not a rude one, I've done nothing wrong on school grounds or ever but this one mistake and you call me in here, there's more then that you should be worried about right now. Now good day sir" Closing his door as I walk away to my first class that had already started.

*Could this get any worse?*
