Liam felt the tension in the air the second they approached form room 7B on the second floor. Liam and Jorden briefly looked at eachother before sitting down on the only free desks in the room.
'There were 23 students in the classroom in total' Liam realized.
"Smaller than usual" Jorden whispered, as if reading his mind...
A tall cheery, stout man walked into the room. "Good morning 7B, I'm Mr Tranter and I will be your tour guide of the school"
Mr Tranter walked out of the classroom, signaling for everyone to follow him.
The tour lasted 45 minutes.
"Hopefully we can remember all these rooms when we have our lessons" Jorden said.
After the seemingly-endless, boring speech by Mrs Solace, the Main Hall emptied. No one wanted to be lost and late to their first lessons. That would leave an everlasting impression.
Liam and Jorden tried pushed their way through the crowd until they came across a group of juniors. He saw most of the new students turn back to find another way to their lessons.
'They're scared' Liam realized, staring at the Juniors.
Liam tried walking past, but a hand came flying towards him and blocked the path. It was a few centimeters from hitting Liam.
"What was that for?" Liam whispered, looking up at the boy.
"Who've you got there, Broden?" shouted another Junior.
"It's a Freshman standing up to a Junior like me?" the kid called Broden muttered to his friend, who was standing a few feet away from him, laughing at Liam and Jorden.
Liam dismissed the mockery. He knew this will be a daily occurrence in High School, but it bothered him that he didn't have the ability to retaliate.
'Or maybe I do' Liam thought, thinking of his supernatural powers.
"Let us through, you idiot!" he shouted, putting his middle finger up.
Broden was surprised. He never had a new Freshman come into the school and retaliate.
"You made a huge mistake" he whispered, clenching his fists. The punch came out of nowhere.
'He's fast' Liam thought.
'But not fast enough...'
Before the punch made contact, Liam threw his hands in front, absorbing the impact. He stared at Borden, who was staring in shock, his curled up hands concealed in Liam's.
The room went silent.
No one dared to speak.
Liam saw Jorden staring at him, the books for his lesson fell out of his hand.
THUD
"Come on Jorden" Liam said, glancing back at him. He started walking towards his math lesson, Jorden just behind him.
"Don't think you'll be getting away that easily" shouted a kid whom Broden was talking to.
Liam turned around, his arms outstretched.
'KILL THEM'
The thought overwhelmed him.
He imagined claws growing out of his hands, ripping Broden to shreds. He imagined his eyes glowing brighter than the sun. He imagined his Werewolf form taking over, his animal instinct roaming free...
"Liam" he heard a whisper.
'Werewolf hearing'
He opened his eyes, and saw no one.
But he recognized the voice of the girl who he fell in love with the second he met her...
