A series I wrote that is loosely based on Twilight about Wolf Shifters |
Chapter 6: Randall My alarm sung in my ear, welcoming a new day; the second day of school. Judging from my excitement you would have thought that I was a kindergartener. I looked across the room to see that Kenyon was still asleep. I decided not to wake him just yet because of our lone bathroom, and Kenyon's long drawn out 'beauty regimen, in large part devoted to hair maintenance. I never gave him too hard a time about it, because it was Kenyon's way of keeping our father's memory alive. Not that he was dead, just dead to us, because he was disappearing more into his own psychosis everyday that went by and we were all confused as to why, only that it had something to do with our mysterious mother's disappearance. We weren't sure if she was dead, alive, ran off, or what. My aunt and my grandma just told us things on a need to know basis, telling us that we would learn everything, when we had completed training and taken our places in the pack. All of that I put aside, as I disrobed and got in the shower. The wheels were turning about my favor to Kenyon. As the hot water trickle down my face, I thought, of how to make Kenyon desirable to his lady friend. We had already decided right away to get him a girlfriend. We were going to find the most superficial girl in the school and date her. This would work two ways, one it would gain the girl's attention, because one thing I knew about women and people in general is that generally they were more attracted to what they could not have, and two this would show Aunt Talya that Kenyon could handle a mortal affair without it getting to serious. It was important for us to keep mortals at a distance, which didn't really bother me because from my experience the day before mortal women was too easy for my taste anyway, besides I was already practically tied down anyway, I might as well enjoy the single life while I could, I thought to myself. A fate I had accepted, as a future alpha. I figured I owed it to my brother to help him pursue any mate of his choosing since I was his birth right. Not to mention it took him to agree on going to a mortal high school, for Aunt Talya to cave and allow me to go. It had been a curiosity of mine for a long time to go, and also I wanted to have somewhat of a real childhood, since we had been home school since middle school, after we had moved in with Aunt Talya. I had gotten bored with the same thing day in and day out. Kenyon however, was so traumatized after getting bullied so much in school. I had no idea, what happened for him agree to go back, but I was thankful and felt like I owed him one. After getting out of a shower, I grabbed my bore bristle brush and maintain my wavy fade, threw my towel on and headed back toward the room to get dressed. Kenyon was waiting by the bathroom door for me to come out. He did not say anything to me, just ran in the bathroom. All morning during my first period gym class I was looking for the perfect girlfriend for Kenyon. She had to be superficial, beautiful, and she had to be popular. I thought of the high school movies Kenyon and I would watch, the most beautiful, superficial and popular girls usually were on the cheerleading squad. Then my plan began to take form. Why didn't I think of it before? I thought. It was so obvious. I would get Kenyon together with a cheerleader. It was genius. |
