Why is life so freaking complicated? I mean, I know I'm a werewolf and living in Amenia and all, and no one has an easy life here, but come on!
The heavy thoughts bounced around in Lucian's skull as he stepped into Amenia High school, already assuming his air of (semi)normality. Of course, everyone knew there was something... off about him, but that seemed to aid him more than anything else. It made people like him more. Mysterious, smoking hot bad boy new guy - of course no one hated him. Secretly a werewolf, one of their dark enemies, the ones all humans despised? No! It would break most of their pitiful hearts. It would ruin the aura of mystery. No, no, they would just let themselves believe he had a dark past, but not that he was almost entirely emotionless. Psychopathic.
Humans are so pathetic, he thought disdainfully, strolling leisurely through the halls.
Which brought him to Crystal. Of course, his first impression was that she was a human, shallow, stupid blond-haired blue-eyed cheerleader type. Of course, it seemed painfully obvious she wasn't stupid or shallow. And he didn't think Amenia had cheerleaders - that would make it a normal High school, which was absolutely unthinkable.
But was she human?
And that, in his simplest form, was the question that had been haunting him since she nicknamed him last night. And maybe, in his subconscious, it had even haunted him since he met her on that silent night in the woods. That fleeting white wolf... it was undeniable there was a connection. But perfect Crystal Wright, a werewolf? Was such a thing even possible?

I strolled through the halls. I was shaking. I couldn't believe it, but I was and my palms started to sweat. I searched for Lucian, but a part of my mind said to stay away from him. I didn't listen of course. I started to freak out! Well of course I already was, but even more to where I wanted to pull my hair out. I wanted to scream. This is not good......

"You okay, Blondie?" The casual, mocking voice came from behind her. Lucian padded casually from the shadows - he could find shadows even in a hallway with fluorescent lighting - smirking his typical, sometimes infuriating smirk. "You know, our friend Sorina seems to double as a nurse. Of course, the only wounds she treats are the ones she inflicts in the first place." He smiled and leaned against the wall, his crystal blue eyes sparkling like always. "Seriously, though. Please don't pass out. Dawn and Sunny will automatically accuse me of doing something to you. Paranoid humans that they are." His words seemed to perfectly casual, but there was a careful emphasis on the word human, and as he said it, his eyes flickered suspiciously. He was clearly onto something, and searching for some sort of answer.

I flinched when I heard his voice not wanting to turn and look at him. When he finished I, again, relied on my instincts. I grabbed his arm and pulled him into a nearby closet. I'm glad this hall didn't have any cameras...Yeah but not that I would do anything..It's just what they would think. I felt strong pulling the tall 12th grader along but he was probably going easy on me.

Lucian crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows at her. "You're going to make me fail High school," he said, in an extremely uncanny impression of Sorina. The only thing missing was the pitch of the voice; he could have done some falsetto work if he put effort into it, but right now he was firmly focused on Crystal. Lucian could handle blistering fury, the kind that nearly swept you away in tides of blind rage. He could handle almost any other emotion simply by stifling it. The two things he couldn't handle were deep sadness and confusion. Sadness he took care of by replacing with other emotions, like anger. Things easier to deal with. Confusion was even simpler: he simply tackled what was confusing him until it made sense. And that's what he was doing now - the small girl would give him answers, one way or another.

I stood there furious sorting through my thoughts. "Well are there any questions or remarks, before I explode, or otherwise faint?" I said daring him while showing him my still shaking arm. I knew he would take me up on that. There wasn't anything he would stand for. Even if it was me.

"And we're alone in a closet. Definitely not good. Definitely gonna make Sunny throw another one of my little brother's no doubt expensive crystal wine glasses at me..." He sighed, then smirked at her. "Just get to class, nutjob."

My heart beat qickened. I started to get the fire in my eyes. I didn't want to explode. Not here, not now. "You don't want to set me off! I'm telling you, you better watch yourself. I'm not afraid to hurt you!" I yelled. If he said something else that would make me go mad I would surely transform. I wanted to calm, but I couldn't.

Lucian scoffed. "Am I supposed to be afraid of a human? And such a little human at that!"

I rolled my eyes at this, but at the same time it shook me up enough. No doubt about it. I was going to explode. "You haven't...I thought a werewolf as smart as you would be able to see through me." I laughed as the energy grew inside, "I'm NOT HUMAN!" I felt the fire burn inside me as I turned from human to wolf. There I stood in my white glistening fur as I stood mighty and tall in front of Lucian. I calmed when I looked at him. I couldn't hurt him. Not like this at least. If he were to be in wolf form, I would attack him right here but he wasn't. I calmed down enough to transform back. Then I stood there patiently waiting for a response.

Lucian's eyes widened, but at the same time he wasn't as surprised as he expected to be. The werewolf boy had instincts; it had been obvious to him for awhile now that Crystal wasn't normal. That she wasn't human? Well, that had taken much longer to come to him. Still, the look in her eye last night when she called him "Silver", and the way she seemed to vanish out the door - it was surprising, but it made sense.
Not a bit of his emotions were displayed; Lucian was the master of the poker face. He leaned against the closet wall, eyebrows raised. "Werewolf. How... interesting." He tilted his head to the side. "And quite unexpected - at least until last night. You kind of gave yourself away there."

"Well what else was I supposed to do? I mean everyone else figured it out. Well, I told Dawn and Sorina, but everyone else just knew. I mean it was all I could do. Wait...if you suspected, why did you make me do that? Why would you let me get furious enough to were I could possibly kill you, just so you would see me in wolf form? You are CRAZY!" I said sighing. I opened the door, and came face to face with the last person I would've wanted to see. "Uh...hi Sorina....", I said dumbfounded. Ugh! I forgot her locker was right next to the closet.

"Hi, Crystal." Sorina's bright green eyes flickered from her friend, to the dark closet, to the ever-smirking Lucian, and narrowed as she put two and two together. "Drama?"
"More than a little," Lucian supplied, grinning that cocky grin that had always infuriated her.

I growled, but not sure which one I did it to. I stood there arms crossed glaring at my friend even though I was mad at Lucian. I was trying to send off a signal to her brain. "He knows!" I had to eventually say out loud since she wasn't getting my message right. I leaned back against the wall. Waiting for her response.

Sorina didn't look the slightest bit surprised. She simply raised her eyebrows and said, very calmly, "Well, he was destined to find out eventually, right? No matter how dense he is."
Lucian padded forward softly, his blue eyes narrowed. "To my credit, I was already onto her."
"Sure, wolf boy."
"I was."
"Whatever ya say." The words lacked their usual vice, and for a moment a smile flickered across her face. Then she shook herself briskly and brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes. "This time, I plan on not ditching class. I'm in big enough trouble as it is. So I'll see you both in about an hour and a half." She turned and vanished swiftly down the hallway.
