Before

It's around noon and I'm heading to my next class... history... I don't know why I have to take history. I already know all about the history of the world and our town. It really helps when you're 500 years old.
But in my body now I look like the average 15-year-old. Well besides my abnormal blonde hair that almost white. Along with my whiteish skin. And bright blue eyes. But that's the coast when being what I am.
"Hey! Zara!" Said a boy with brown hair and goofy glasses will running up to me.
"Hey, Liam!" I said to my clueless friend.
"What are you doing tonight?" He asked.
Shoot! I was supposed to meet my pack tonight for our annual moon bath... "Umm... I have to... umm..." ugh if I say study he will come and help. I can't say meeting with someone... wait!
" I have family visiting so I can't tonight... maybe tomorrow..." I ask you to hesitate.
"Oh... okay that's fine!" He said and ran to his class.
And I ran to mine.
After history class, I walk to my locker. My last class is a free period. So I can do anything. So I decided to outside to draw. Yes, I draw. Not very good but I do!
While I'm outside I also watch the football team. Wow, they are horrible. So I set my stuff down and walked up to the coach and asked, " Hey! Coach! Can I show them how it's done?"
I know I'm not to show off but hey when you can throw triple the distance the quarterback can you just have to.
"Umm.." he started a little hesitant.
So being the person I am I yell, " Hey! Number 2! Through me the ball!"
Number 2 looked at me like he was about to laugh but through the ball Over. I caught it with ease. Then I threw it twice as hard knocking him down. I hear a few 'wows' or sighs. But the one thing I heard was a light wimpier from number 2. I ran over and helped him up saying "I'm so sorry I didn't know I could throw that hard..." lies... I'm telling all lies. That was the lightest I could throw.
"It's cool... but who taught you how to throw?"
"My brother... he was on a football team for our old town."
"Cool." Said number two. Now he was talking of his helmet. He was cute and sweaty. Wait those eyes... light green almost a yellow...
"Lucas!"
"That's m... Zara!"
"The one and only. Oh my god! It's been forever"
"Meet me after school or..." he said looking around to see if anyone was watching. He comes to a whisper, "at the moon bath..."
"I will be at both..." I replied quietly.
I walked over to the coach and said, " number two has a weak arm he needs to work on it." I said loud enough for Lucas to hear.
It was a joke but the coach's face was more of a surprise face.
Before the coach could say anything I ran slowly out of the field to grab my stuff and head back to my locker. Well... when I say slowly... it looks like a sprint to a human... but it's like a jog to me.
Once at my locker I pack my books into my bag and waited for the bell to ring.
After what seems like forever the bell rings.
Once it rings Liam is at my side walking out with me.
" Hey sorry I can't hang tonight," I say sincerely.
"No, it's cool." He replied. But his green eyes say otherwise.
He hops onto his bus. And leaves and I head to the back of the school to meet with Lucas.
"It's been a while, white." Said Lucas.
White my wolf nickname that Lucas carried to human life.
"Yes, it has, "I replied.
"So are you ready for the moon bath?"
"Ya, I guess...Umm, this is weird... how long has it been?" I ask.
"Almost three years..." he replied.
"Ya three... why did we wait so long to talk?" I ask another question.
"I don't know? Was it because we were scared?"
To tell the truth Lucas and I stopped talking after he kissed me. Why? Well because... I was to move with my brother and two of my parents disliked Lucas's ancestors.
"I think so..." I said. "Well I have to go...see you at the moon bath?"
"Yes see you at the wolf bath, white."
And we depart going to our homes. Now My home is simple. It's in front of the woods. I live with my older brother. So no suspicion raises that 15-year-old life on her own. But my brother is cool. He is just like me a wolf. But is way better at hiding than me.
I head up to my room and threw my bag on my desk and get ready for tonight.
There's not much to do. Mainly make sure you show up.
You may be wondering what is a moon bath.
Well, a moon bath is when a pack comes together. It's usually once a year or whenever the moon is brightest. Anyway, during a moon bath, you are in your wolf form. You soak in The moon. Supposedly if a wolf misses a moon bath they are stripped of anything wolf. Even the memories. And if you have pups and this happens the pups are re-homed. But that hasn't happened in my lifetime. Also, the elders believe this is how the humane society began a few wolves missed a moon bath and we stripped of everything so those wolves started the human race.
When I look over at my clock and see it's ten o'clock I run out of our house to the woods. Once I. In the woods, I transform into a white wolf. One of the few left. And I run to the meeting spot.
Once I was there I see a lot of other wolves already laying down to soak in the moon. I go looking for a black wolf with yellow-green eyes. And I find him with a bunch of other wolves... females it looks like. I walk over to them and say, " Lucas?"
A large black wolf looks up. His yellow-green eyes shine with glee.
"Ladies please scout over for our future queen."He said.
All the females move while saying rude things. Once they move I lay next to Lucas and soak in the moon for hours.
After about two hours everyone gets up and starts heading home. I stay behind to talk to Lucas, but he was swept away by females and his mom. All asking if he and I were a thing. But I ignored them.
After not being able to talk to Lucas I run to the end of the woods once there I change to my human form.
What I didn't know was when I changed to my human form my best friend was watching me.
