Wakko Werewolves 3: Lost

Friday came and I finished bringing my stuff into Cat's apartment. She had a four bedroom. The forth bedroom was for Gavin and Rose but she gave it to me since Gavin got a room right across from her. I sat on my bed that Amy and Beth helped me put together.

"Are you going to miss your parents?" Beth asked laying on my bed.

I unpacked my box.

"It's not like I can't call or email them." I said to Beth.

"I can email and call my parents but I still miss them." Beth said.

"Beth we're two different people. So I may not feel bad about them leaving. I mean it's not like I wanted to move anyway." I said pulling out some clothes and folding them and putting them in my drawer.

"I guess so." she said.

Cat walked into my room.

"Getting settled?" she asked me.

"Yeah." I said.

"Okay, just have some rules for you. Since you ladies will be living with me now." Cat said.

"What rules?" Amy asked jumping on my bed next to Beth.

"Rule number one. No boys in my house." Cat said.

"Are you kidding me what about Gavin?" Amy asked.

"Let me rephrase that. No human boys allowed in my house." Cat said.

"What about werewolves?" I asked and smirked.

"We won't go there. Rule number two breakfast will be served after twelve p.m. and it will be take out. I don't cook. So you're on your own in the morning." Cat said.

"I know how to cook." Beth said.

"Well then you'll be in control of cooking. And rule three if you do your little partying or dates with your friends get home before two a.m. or I'll send Rose out to get you." Cat said.

"I don't like parties." I said closing my drawer back.

"Good that's it, glad for you to join us." Cat said and smiled to me and then walked out of my room.

I walked back to my bed and sat down and lied on it and sighed.

"It's going to be fun together." Amy said.

"Like a never ending sleep over." Beth said.

"Yea. What time is it?" I asked.

"It's almost three." Amy said.

"I got to get to the library." I said getting up and grabbing my backpack.

"Why?" Beth asked rolling onto her stomach and looking at me.

"School project with some new kid named Ryker." I said.

"I like him he's cute." Amy said.

"I don't I'll see you guys later." I said.

"Don't want a ride?" Amy asked me.

"I'll walk. I don't care if he waits." I said and put on my backpack.

I looked around the library for Ryker and finally found him reading a Cars and Trucks magazine with a woman in a bikini the size of a tooth pick on the page.

"Reading the articles?" I asked him sarcastically and dropped my backpack next to him.

He jumped.

"Thought you would've bailed on me." he said.

"Can we get to work. I got to be somewhere at five." I said to him.

"Where?" he asked me.

"The mental ward." I said.

"Who's there?" he asked.

"My friend he's very ill." I said.

"With what?" he asked.

I pulled out the packet and my text book.

"Lycanthropy." I said.

"Werewolf syndrome?" he asked.

"How'd you know that?" I asked him.

"I read books, I thought that was made up?" he asked.

"It's a real disease too real." I said.

"Sorry about your friend." he said.

"No jokes?" I asked him.

"I would hate to be in a mental ward. No freedom." he said.

"Yeah." I said to him.

"You must be a good friend." he said to me.

"I try to be." I said to him.

"So do you have a boyfriend?" he asked.

"I'm not interested in anyone." I said.

"Cool, cool." he said looking at me.

"Where did you have a problem?" I asked him.

"Uh the early stages of WWI. The trench wars part." he said.

"Okay." I said.

We used or textbook and later went on the computer. Ryker started to do some weird stuff on the computer that made me giggled. And then he showed me a video and I couldn't help but laugh. He smiled at me and I smiled back. Then I stop. I think I was falling for him.

"We should probably get back to work." I told him.

"Yeah." he said to me.

I went back to the page.

"Let me see my packet." he said and reached over me. I inhaled his scent and shivered.

It was tantalizing. Just the fact that he was a male and only a few inches from me. I swallowed back a howl.

"You okay?" he asked me sitting back.

I turned my face.

"Yeah just a cold." I said rubbing my nose.

We went back to work and by the time we finished looking up facts it was late and the hospital was close.

"Oh man." I said as I walked out.

"What's wrong?" Ryker asked me.

"My friend. I forgot to visit him today." I said.

"I'm sorry, can you see him now or what?" he asked.

"The hospital is close now. They probably locked him down. Hey I got to go." I said and turned away from him.

"You walking home, you sure you don't want a drive?" he asked me.

I kept walking.

"Nah." I said.

"It's kind of dark, I don't mind anyway." he said.

I stopped and turned around.

"Fine anything to stop you from talking." I said to him and smiled.

He smiled back and walked beside me to his car.

He stopped outside of my apartment.

"Thanks for um riding me home." I said.

"Yeah welcome. Hey I'm having a party next Saturday, want to come?" he asked me.

I bit my bottom lip.

"I don't know." I said to him.

"What your parents won't let you?" he asked.

"I don't live with them anymore." I said opening the door.

"Think about it." he said.

I turned to him.

"Okay." I said.

He leaned in to kiss me but I got out and waved to him. He waved back and I think he swore and pulled away. I ran up the stairs to my apartment and walked in.

"I'm home." I said the scent of pizza filled my nostrils.

"There's pizza on the table did you get your work done?" Cat asked me.

"Yeah, where's Beth and Amy?" I asked.

"Went to the store to pick up some soda. The delivery guy forgot the drink so we didn't have to tip him." she said biting into her pizza.

I walked into the kitchen and opened the box to the pizza. There was like a whole bunch of different things on the pizza. It looked like someone threw up the toppings. There was anchovies on pineapples. I sighed and picked up a slice and bit into it. The pizza was sweet and salty a nice exploration of flavor. I finished one slice and decided it was time to hit the sack.

"When they come tell them I'm sleep." I said.

"Going to bed this early?" Cat asked me.

"Tired wake me up when breakfast, I mean delivery is here." I said.

"I will good night." she said.

"Night." I said and walked to my room and closed the door. I slipped out of my clothes and decided to skip a shower and slide into my pajamas.

I crawled into my bed and rested my head on my pillow. I looked out the window and watched as the tree branches made weird shadows in my room. I rolled over onto my back and closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.

I was awaken by a draft. I turned to my window and saw that the window was open. I got up and walked towards it and closed the window back.

"I thought this was close." I said to myself.

"My mistake." A voice said behind me.

I gasped and he held a finger to my lips and then touched my cheek.
