graded because of the janitors," he said, exiting the classroom after grabbing keys, the door closed behind him and everyone started chatting.
Evelyn watched her hands in her lap, waiting for the teacher to come back. After a couple of seconds she heard footsteps coming towards her and felt her hood being yanked back.

"No hoods allowed," A guy said and she glared at his smirking face, how she longed to slap it off of him, but she didn't want to touch him, it would hurt to see his thoughts like everyone elses.

"Go to hell," Evelyn muttered, pulling her hood back up as everyone laughed at the guy and his face turned a beet red and she giggled slightly, smirking at him.

"Nah, I'd rather not you little slut," He said, yanking her hood back again and Evelyn jumped up slapping him as hard as she could and she heard his thoughts 'That fucking bitch just slapped me,'

"I am not a slut you man-whore," She snarled at him before sitting down, pulling her hood back over her hair.

"You're going to pay for that you bitch," He yelled at her but she just rolled her eyes, looking up at him as he walked away and she tripped him, carefully avoiding more skin contact.

"No, you are," Evelyn said in a velvet tone, smiling sweetly as he stood up and ran at her but someone grabbed his arm.

"Dude, she's not worth it," She heard a voice say, the voice sounded oddly familiar and she whipped her head to the side, seeing someone and remembering the voice and person from the forest the last night. She blinked a couple of times, everything happening in a matter of exactly two seconds, before she turned away from everyone and towards the teacher as he walked back in.

"Cory, take a seat, do not harass Evelyn like you do everyone else or I see even more detention in your future," Mr. D commanded and he glared at her before walking away and sitting in his seat by the guy whom she had become to call The Voice.

"Thank you Mr. D," Evelyn said quietly, giving him a small smile before it disappeared for the rest of the class as she learned Science, something she was a master at.

Evelyn stood as the bell rang, hurrying out of the classroom before Cory, and after The Voice. As she was passing by him she whispered under her breath so only he could hear, not stopping walking.

"I know you were in the forest," and walked quicker as his head turned towards her, she forced herself not to look back no matter how bad she wanted to.

At the end of school, she walked outside, her hands stuffed in her sweatshirt's pockets. As she was walking by a group of people she felt hands push her to the ground and she sighed. Pushing herself back up as she saw Cory swinging his fist at her face, she ducked quickly, stepping behind him and grabbing his arm, glad he had a long sleeved shirt, and flipped him forward and he landed on his back with a loud thud noise.

"I don't like it when people touch me," Evelyn said softly, turning away from the shocked faces of the group and walking towards her new home. 2 1/2

After a early dinner Evelyn climbed down her balcony in the same clothes from school and walked into the forest, she hoped her wolf would be there.

"Hey wolfy," Evelyn called softly, listening to her surrounding nature for any signs of the wolf. She heard nothing but the ruffling of leaves in the wind, she smiled, seeing the sun setting and saw a tall tree. She climbed it slowly and stopped at a large limb, she sat down on it, her long skinny legs dangling as she watched the clear view of the sunset. "It's so pretty..." she murmured, not noticing the footsteps or the rustling of branches as something came near.

"Yeah, I guess it is," She heard a familiar voice say and she didn't even jump.

"If you're getting revenge for your friend, can I at least not be twenty feet from the ground," Evelyn said and she heard him chuckle, yet she did not take her eyes from the setting sun as it cast brilliant colors and shadows across the land.

"I'm not," He said, she could hear him climbing the tree and she felt when he sat on the branch beside her "I just decided to accompany a girl in a tree, which is highly unusual,"

"Well, nothing really is usual, is it?" Evelyn said, turning her head and looking at him, he had the same green eyes as her wolf.. and his hair looked like her wolf's fur.

"I suppose so," He said, smirking when she looked at him and he looked at her.

"You know, I saw a wolf in these woods, it looked somewhat like you, same colored hair, and exactly the same eyes," Evelyn murmured, watching him in case he showed any sign of knowing the wolf, "He was supposed to meet me.. he didn't..." she sighed, looking back a the horizon but the sunset was gone.

"Well, one, that wolf must have been very cute," He said and she nodded, smiling slightly "Two, it's his loss he didn't get to be with a very beautiful girl,"

"Whatever, I didn't come here to have somebody from the 'it' crowd try and flirt with me," Evelyn said, pushing off from the branch and bending her knees as her hood flew off and her hair floated around her as she fell.

"What the hell do you think you're doing, it's twenty feet!" She heard him yell but ignored it, bending her knees and absorbed the impact before running back towards her house, pulling herself up her balcony, she could hear him following but ignored it as she heard a bark and whirled around, seeing the wolf approach her balcony and she smiled, he must have scared the guy away. She dropped down from the balcony and ran over to the wolf, tackling it and hugged around it's neck as it laid on it's side.

"God that guy is so annoying, I can't help but hate him for it," Evelyn mumbled into his fur, burying her head in it's softness "I wish he would just leave me alone,"

"Doesn't look like it," Someone said and she whipped her head around, seeing Cory and she sighed.

"What do you want, and what do you mean?" Evelyn asked, holding her wolf tighter to her as she watched him come closer.

"I don't want anything, and I mean your wolfy is a very weird wolfy, h-" Cory said but her wolf cut him off as he howled, running at Cory and knocking him over, once Cory was up, he chased him away from Evelyn but she was already climbing her balcony and locking herself in her room.

The next day at school, Evelyn avoided Cory at all costs, there were times when she ended up hiding in the janitors closet so he wouldn't see her.
She couldn't avoid everyone though, many times sluts that hung over Cory approached her to hit her, she mostly just took the hits and left, ignoring them when they chased her. She wished she had never moved there, and never went to the lake with her parents, she could still be popular and not be in this mess and practically living alone.
Evelyn bumped into a hard chest on her way home and jumped back, walking around and mumbled "Sorry," on her way past, glad they didn't touch her skin.

She felt them grab her bare wrist and a electric shock went through her and they didn't let go. Oh god, how should I tell her, should I just say it, or should I wait... Oh crap I hope I'm not thinking aloud, I don't even know if she knows my name, this is such a disaster, please let her believe me, oh god, I hate Cory so much right now.

she heard a flash of his thoughts whipping around to look at him.

"Come to flirt some more?" Evelyn asked in a strained voice, her head pounding and she yanked her hand away, the pain easing.

"No, but are you okay? I saw the sluts attacking you, they're always like that," He said and she rolled her eyes.

"Of course they are, all sluts are, and I'm perfectly okay, so see ya around," Evelyn said, turning around and walking away, she felt him grab her wrist again and she bit her lip as a blast of his thoughts hit her again I have to tell her, now, oh god don't argue, I must, what if she rejects me though? NO! She won't, shut up, you god dang wolf, you're just happy you got to spend more time with her than me, yeah I know, how am I going to tell her I'm a werewo-

she heard his thought s but yanked away before the entire word formed in her head and ran fast, her feet silent and she disappeared into the trees, her heart thumping wildly as she heard footsteps coming after her, she knew he was gaining and she needed to hide, though he could probably scent her if the books were right, and they were right about the heat part... and Cory was unnaturally hot too....
She snapped out of her thoughts, seeing the tallest tree and scurried up it like a squirrel, she was good at climbing- when her parents were playing hide and seek with her in the forest and they would always yell 'Come out come out wherever you our, my little Squirrel!'- she went higher until the large branches thinned out and stopped at a big one, sitting and gulping in deep breaths.

"Please, I need to talk to you Evelyn!" She heard him yell up at her and she felt her heart rip in to, remembering the way his hair and eyes looked exactly like her-no- the wolf... him...

"Go away you mutt!" Evelyn screamed down at him "I told you about me, secrets I would never tell anyone, without even knowing it was you! What
