The rest of the activities felt dull and uninteresting to me, more than anyone I hate myself for coming on this trip, it has been nothing but disaster, maybe I should have listened to mom and stayed home, it was pointless coming here, I feel irritated and homesick,
I went through the activities with everyone, we went to places that should have natural made me experience that moment of 'butterflies in my stomach' but honestly I lost interest in everything and I stayed away from Jaime like he is cancer, I keep feeling his gaze on me but then what do I care?,
I just wanna stay out of trouble and was planning to really stay out of trouble when Pam walked up to me in one of the galleries we visited.
"What's up liar" she said but I ignored her,
"I know you won't be able to speak after all you're a sore loser and even if you made the principal and everyone else believe your petty story, you'll never be able to fool me" she glared at me.
I turned away from her and was actually going to walk away but she pulled my hand.
"You know, I noticed you and Jaime haven't been talking lately, I'm sure you both had a fight" she smirked, released my hand and was going to walk away but I pulled her back in the same way she pulled me back.
"Jaime and I didn't have a fight like you think, in fact let me tell you, I broke up with him myself, so now you can get together with him and even make him your boyfriend, I don't care, I'm telling you this and offering you this opportunity before Jaime finds another girl and you'll have to fight with her and do things like cut up her clothes again" I made a kissing sound and left her standing there, staring after me like a moron.
'It's no point talking to her, you know she just annoys you' Lexie sighed, she seem to be doing that a lot this past hours.
'I know'

We were allowed a picnic in a lovely park after that, I sat muching on my snacks when Jaime moved to sit by my side,
"Don't think I'm here to apologize or something dumb like that" he said but like I did to Pam, I ignored him.
"Hello guys" he called attention to us,
Here we were left alone and the teachers were a bit far off from us to give us some space, even though they were constantly checking on us,
"You know guys this morning something happened and Pam let us know this girl here didn't sleep in her room and slept in a boy's room instead" he started, I wonder what he really want to say.
"Then Pam must have mistook me for that dude, and I'm here to clear the air" he continued
"It's true Alexandra must have tricked the principal to think she was sick and even tricked miss Sarah with the help of her black magic"
"What!" Even I stared at him in shock, how can he say something so disgusting like that?
"Yes, don't be surprised, I found this out yesterday and was going to tell everyone but then she threatened me so I stayed quiet" he explained to everyone
"If you were going to tell everyone like you said, why didn't you?, oh you didn't tell them the truth yesterday because I threatened you?, then why are you telling everyone now?, you're not scared of my threats anymore?" It was my turn to speak.
"I found courage to tell everyone now because after I saw Pam say the truth this morning, I was convinced the right thing to do is let everyone know, the truth is you went to some guy's room last night and—"
"And I broke up with you this morning and told you never to speak to me ever again, is this what this is about?, you want revenge because I refuse to be with you?, are you that disgusting that you're ready to defame my character to soothe your ego?" I asked calmly.
"You're really a disgusting person and girls should stay away from you, you're the kind that does anything to make sure you get revenge for your bruised ego, but get one thing straight Jaime Burns, I'm done with you and I won't allow you to do nasty things to my image because you think I've bruised your ego by breaking up with you and please leave me alone" I told him with a glare.
"What's all this drama Jaime Burns?, you ruined our perfect afternoon because of your heart wounds?" Kelvin rolled his eyes and everyone went back to whatever they were doing before he interrupted them.
Jaime tried to force himself into my mind, he was trying to force open my mind link but I've had enough of him and his disgusting behavior. I sent him a mental blow so powerful that he retreated immediately.
"Don't ever do something like this ever again or I'll make you pay dearly" I told him, he just stared at me and moved away.

The rest of the time passed quickly without me giving any thoughts to it, we moved back to hotel and packed our things, it was time for our camp time.
The bus kept going for hours, and I suddenly realized we've gotten to some cool area, I looked out of the window and marveled at the sight, even Lexie couldn't keep her excitement to herself.
'It looks like a beautiful forest right?' I smiled gently.
'Do we get to run?' She asked instead.
'I don't know, don't get over excited, it might be out of bounds to strangers' I shrugged, turns out it wasn't where we were camping at, I would've loved it if we—, oh well what does it matter what I want or love?
*
We set up camp in a dense part of the forest,
Pam's or the girls in camp apparent excitement wasn't lost on me, maybe they're excited about the camp but I'm sure they're super excited Jaime and I aren't together anymore, so they can get their claws on him, well that's their problem not mine,
my sole aim was to get away when anyone wasn't looking and go for a run in my wolf form, and I did that the moment I got the chance, maybe that was my biggest mistake or blessing, I'm about to find out.

I could still hear the talks around camp as I walked farther into the forest,
But suddenly their voices got cut off, I think I've gone far enough and all I and Lexie wanted was run free.

AUTHOR'S POV
~~~
Alexandra felt like she was one with the wind, there was no limits, she felt truly free for the first time, she ran and ran, up and up she went, she was mad with freedom, she could feel her wolf fighting for freedom but not yet, it wasn't time, she wasn't going to yield just yet,
She could feel the wind on her face, she could almost taste it.
Finally she let Lexie have her way, and she just went with her, if her wolf wanted to run higher and faster, then so be it.
She howled loudly, enjoying her freedom and trying to forget everything that has been happening around her, this might be the only chance she has to run and she wasn't going to miss it, suddenly a wolf snarled and she almost lost control of her wolf, the thing is, Lexie gets scared easily and it was up to Alexandra to make her see there was no danger,
"Nothing happened" She whispered inside her head, the wind must have been playing tricks on her ear, unless that disgusting Jaime followed her up here, maybe—
Then a sharp pain shot up her shoulder, something had pierced her,
"Argh" Alexandra cried out.
"Gotcha!" A male wolf shouted.
"Throw the net" Someone yelled.
'What's going on?' Lexie asked weakly
'I don't know either' Alexandra replied.
"Trespasser" Someone said and an iron net dropped on her.
"Please let me go" She groaned weakly, she was losing consciousness quickly.

I woke up slowly, light penetrating my lids, I opened my eyes slowly,
Where am I?, it doesn't feel like home or camp,
Omg!, camp, I'm in so much trouble now, I need to get going, I tried to get up but felt the searing pain in my shoulder, I stayed very still and tried to remember how I got the wound, I was running and?
And I got caught by some rascals!, more than me Lexie must be hurt!
'Hey Lexie,, are you okay?' I asked, but there was no reply,
'Don't pull any of your tricks on me now' I said but I still got no reply, l knew Lexie would never pull any mean trick on me, if she wanted moments alone she would've said so, maybe something did happen to her.
"Answer me Lexie, it's time to leave!" I said desperately.
"Oh is it really time to leave ?, and says who?"
