One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf

Everyone was looking at us.

After the hair pulling incident yesterday and now this, there was no way I was going to be left alone. I agreed to walk with this tall, dark haired boy who was a total dream for every girl, well almost every girl in this school, me included.

"I can tell what you're thinking... but don't worry, they will have something else to talk about later, I'll make sure of it." He says before his arm snakes it's way around my shoulder.

My body instantly heating up, blush creeping up my neck to my cheeks. Having Jaxon's arm around me, this close contact made me feel things I've never felt before.

"Jaxon.." I try to say but we stop in front of his two friends from yesterday in the cafeteria.

"Hailey, this is Brett and Caiphus, my only friends in this school but I hang out with other people. If I'm not around, they will make sure you don't get bullied." He says and I nod  my head in understanding.

"That's great and all but I think I should make my own friends. I mean, no offense but I usually get along with girls." I say making them all chuckle.

"Yeah, good luck with that after walking around with Jaxon's arm around you. Besides, you're better off with us for your social status." Brett says, making them all chuckle once more.

"Brett is right Hailey. You probably won't be making any friends after this, your overnight step up the ladder to instant popularity." Caiphus says to me. I don't respond, but a tiny annoying voice in my head believed them although I'm not one to listen.

I look around the school, looking for Rebecca because I hate being the joke and I find pleasure in proving chauvinistic little boys wrong.

"Actually, I've made a friend already. One who doesn't care about this stupid social status, one who couldn't care that Jaxon's arm was around my shoulder two seconds ago and I think I'll go hang out with her. See you around Jaxon." I say, catching them off guard.

"Everybody cares Hailey." Jaxon says and this time, I chuckle as I walk away from them.

The walk to Rebecca was not that long but it was the longest 25 seconds of my life with everyone staring at me. I kept praying I don't trip and fall on my face because that's what happens when everyone is looking at you. Not forgetting Jaxon's gaze burning a hole on my back. I could feel his eyes on me because my body was heating up again, igniting a fire inside of me that completely confused me.

I've had crushes before in my life but it usually starts at imagining a life with the guy first then day dreaming and feeling all giddy before my body reacts in this sexual manner. The need to have this boy take me was slowly overtaking my senses and I hate something I can't fight off in my body.
