You know when you go to Thrallmaster and y'all go to the bleachers near the track race outside. Skipping is a regular thing. Keku and I went to bleachers and sat outside till it was lunch.
"I can't believe you rushed to sell Okra." I tell Keku as we wait in line with plates. As it moves I a chicken patty, put some gravy on it and wait for these witches to get salads. "I've been in the house longer than you. I can't stand Okra. You hear that?"
"Hear what?" I grab the peas and carrots as the line moves. "Get a piece of cake and give it to me."
"I don't like cake." he frowns.
"I said, give it to me!"
"Okra is not a real name." he gets a piece of cake and goes on. "Okra acts so good. When I met her, she was smoking cigs."
"Ok." I wait on Keku. "So like, Okra's a big albino wolf. Great, you six five and she's six seven. And she don't eat; this why I think we should kill her." We move to the back of the lunchroom.
"She's not a wolf?"
"uncle was tall, we some tall niggas, whatever. It's in our genes, therefore, tall bitches exist." he got two chicken legs and cuts the side of the chicken leg with a knife. "That just makes sense."
"Right." I cut my patty horizontal and cut one piece up so I have more. I should have gotten pizza. "Here's the abnormal thing. Wolves don't like white wolves."
"Right," I'm eating and listening. Werewolves need a bigger diet. "Are you listening?"
"Yes!" I open my orange juice. "Go on."
"Bailey said he wants her pelt…"
"Right, fur, continue."
"WALLIE!"
It hits me, I cover my lips. "Oh…"
"This means I gotta look through the book!"
"Book?"
He rolls his neck, "How is you a dog and don't know about the book?"
"What book?"
"The Collar?"
"Collar?"
"Imma slap the shit outta you!"
"I'm sorry. What we need to do about, 'The Collar?'
"See if she a pack member!" he picks up a cup with ice cream in it. "They had ice cream?" my ears wiggle. Keku throws the cup at me. "BITCH!"

My next class period is TS, I play football. Sadly, it's mostly boys and I usually change in the girl's bathroom across the hall from the gym so I when I cross it I change my clothes in there.
Our uniform is so ugly. I texted one of my niggas before hand, they just practicing it there. Big female wolves can join but it's so small the only positions allowed is halfback but I'm built different, I get linebacker.
Now that I bring it up, Cait is a big ass, irish, clapback! She plays halfback with all the little girls and she can't stand it. She's only six feet three and half ass bald.
Everyone knows it's a wig.
Again our uniforms are ugly! We have brown sweat pants with a brown or white shirt sometimes a sweater.
In the last few months I haven't heard from Cait. I haven't heard her pigeon walking ass down the hall either. I can't believe Keegan said I built like bread, she's built like a swing.
I'm a pretty fat bitch, Imma go to Lady Dazz again and kick him in the nuts. I am curvaceous fat dog. I have to make sure I take out my belly button ring, and my eyebrows.
Cait has no shape to her ass. If I'm bread, she's a box. I look at my chest and I think about crying, what have I done to myself?
I wear a size 40-D. My bra size decrease to 37-38D. And I really grab my bottle and swallow a pill.
When I get to the gym, the boys are having an argument with Cait Dub. "...and then come out the fucking locker room and your big bitch ass is standing there!"
"I'm not doing anything!"
I know some of my teammates. And they are wolves from different packs, families, even adopted. Jeno Babos is a linebacker, Tutku Ozkan is quarter, Bevis Ellis and my nigga Abel Matthews.
"Goddamn it Cait! This is the third fucking time we caught you in there!" yells Bevis, he's blond but I see he dyed it brown. "Where the fuck are my shorts?"
"I don't have them. Maybe you should ask--"
Abel rushes at her and grabs her neck, "Listen you autistic faggot, if you even think about bringing up Wallie."
"But she did it!" he smacks her to the floor. I could leave right now. But Tutku turns to see me, "Wall!"
Damn. "What's going on?" I step forward. "Guess who caught in the boy's locker room and our shit is missing." Jeno is a six feet five wolf with blue eyes and black hair. He has this birthmark on the side of his face but today he asked his sister to cover it up. "I can't find my fucking phone. I had a fucking piece of cake in my locker from class. Did you take it!"
"I didn't do it…" Jeno punts her in the stomach. She throws up and I almost hurl. "Well did y'all sniff it out?"
"This time we ain't found nun." says Abel. "We ain't puppies now. I even asked Champ to look."
"This time y'all ain't find anything?"
"She usually stuffs everything in the trash bin." states Tutku. "I mean Bevis found her stash."
"Nigga this shit is nerve racking." Abel seethes. "Let me show you what we found outside." He beckons me, I follow me outside around the wall where the trash bin is. He goes in the trash and pulls out a ripped varsity jacket with his name on it. "This shit is mine." he throws it down. He pulls out a pair of pants,"This is Thea's pants, that bitch in there been wiping her ass with them."
Ew.
He digs deeper and throws out a broken Nintendo ds, a box of playing card, a wallet with three twenties and a pack of hotdogs. "Well she's homeless." I say, not to defend her. "Nah, she not homeless!" he corrects me. "Her parents live near Virginia beach and she doing this shit. She nasty as fuck, that's wrong with her!"
"So all that dirt is from…"
"Her business!"
I gag. "Oh my god…"
"I'm telling ya, something is wr--" a gunshot goes off inside the gym. Abel and I race inside and another shot goes off. "Cait!"
My paws get bigger, I break down the door and howl out the power of word. Cait's eyes glow before she tossed by the breath towards the wall. Tutku and Jeno are down but Jeno is worst with a gapping hole in his neck. Abel swifts to his wolf.
I must look like a freak but that doesn't matter now. Cait tries to shift but I drag her by her legs and beat her against the floor. "BOW!" I shout. She struggles to stand, I shove her down. "What is wrong with you!"
"Blood…" My ears twitch. Abel picks up Jeno in hand and Tutku in another. "You got some big hands Wallie."
Where's Bevis? I shift back, I pummel my fist in her jaw. "What is your problem?" I kick her. "Where's Bevis?"
She coughs up blood, "I ate him…"
