I rub my hands against my jean leg, my heart beats rapidly in my chest and a smile lights up my face.

"Oh Maia, you look so happy." My best friend Ethan says swinging an arm around my shoulder, my other best friend Tyson walked alongside is looking gloomy.

"Well someone is getting chosen today! It could be me and you know I've been wanting this since like forever!" I squeal excitedly jumping up and down.

"Yeah we know M." Tyson says grumpily and I give him a glare.

"Why are you being so grumpy T?" I say curiously. Yes we all usually call each other by the first letter of our first name. It's the thing we've done since young age, we are in Werewolf School.

It's a high school for werewolves, yes I am a werewolf that can shift into a proper wolf not half wolf like Scott McCall. I have four paws, claws, I am covered in fur, a snout and a tail.

After high school werewolves usually join a university, usually a human one considering there is only one wolf university, The Werewolf Academy.

One person through all werewolf schools is chosen to attend each month usually but this time they are accept 1 through the entire year. It's suppose to be amazing! There is a town near by where the Alpha of the school's pack lives.

The Alpha.

Where do I begin? I've never seen him before but I've heard about him, well not much. I know his name is Austin and that's he has a younger brother. That's it really. Except his parents have pasted away but that's a mystery too.

"Because." Tyson growls angrily and storms ahead of us, Ethan shrugs and leads me into the great hall where every student sits waiting for the announcement.

I climb the steps to a bench near the top, I take a seat next to Ethan and a very pissed off looking Tyson. I lean back in the seat feeling my heart race.

Our principal, Mr. Haring stands up at the podium and taps the mic. It buzzes and my ears tingle, heightened hearing has a down side.

"Good Morning students." He says in his fake British accent that he does to make himself look more sophisticated. Stupid ***.

"As you know today is the day where we choose one person, male or female, to take the train to Werewolf Academy. I know that you've all packed and you're all ready to go but only one will get the special chance. You will have the chance to meet up with the Alpha Blake, you will have the best teachers in the country and the best fighters training you. As you know Werewolf Academy is a very famous school and you will find they still have rules." He says loudly into the mic.

I grab Ethan's hand and squeeze it tightly in excitement. I breath deeply trying to calm my hyperactive nerves, I look down at the principal to find his eyes on me. I raise my eyebrow in utter confusion but upon seeing this he retreats his gaze.

"I can now announce the winner." He says and a women by his side, Mrs. Johnson the maths teacher here, hands him a envelope.

"Do you want to be chosen?" I whisper to Ethan's and he smirks.

"Of course you dumbass! Everyone does." He says a little too loudly, Mr. Peen our critical horrible bastard vice principal stalks over and hits us both across the head.

Ethan stifles a laugh and I turn my attention back to the principal, my head stings slightly and I turn back to give Mr. Peen a stare but he isn't there any longer. He was telling yet another student off.

"The lucky student is..." The principal's voice draws me out of my own thoughts and I focus completely on him. My eyes focus on every detail of what he has to say, my ears open ready for the next words to come out of his mouth.

He opens the envelope and smiles, looking up and around the room his eyes find mine. I squeeze Ethan's hand and I know I'm holding too tight when he lets out a whimper.

"Maia Adams."

Every single person in the hall turns to stare directly at me, my whole brain stops functioning. My body is frozen in shock, it's only Ethan squeezing my hand that brings me back.

I look at him then at Tyson who hides under his black leather jacket hood, I squeeze both their hands then stand up. Immediately everyone bursts in applause and many shout 'woo!' Or 'go Maia!'.

I've never felt more famous in my life, don't get me wrong I am friends with most of the people here I'm not that super shy nerd, I'm a loud social nerd.

I am be odd one out considering everyone in the school has parents and are pretty wealthy. My parents -well- they died when I was born but nobody knows how or why. But they left me with a good amount of money.

I slowly put one foot in front of the other making sure not to turn down the stairs, although it would hurt I wouldn't be injured for long thanks to my fast healing.

But I don't want to embarrass myself in front of the whole bloody school when I just got chosen to go to Werewolf Academy. Everyone applauds as I make my way down the many steps and to the principal.

I smile and he smiles back then turns to the rest of the students.

"You may all go back to your dorms now, you are dismissed." He shouts loudly and I'm quite taken back, I thought he would of said something about me.

Everyone stands up and starts pulling out and I hear teachers starting to shout already. I hate the teachers here especially Mr. Peen because...never mind.

I stand completely still and stare at the floor as if it's the most amazing thing in the world as Mr. Peen stands next to me. The principal comes over and smiles down at me.

"Well Ms. Adams, your stuff has been sent for so Mr. Johns will escort you to the awaiting train." He says before turning on his heels and starting to walk away.

"Wait sir," I say and he stops, I sense Mr. Peen step closer to me as if ready to attack me if I attack the principal "can't I say goodbye to anyone?"

"No, now follow Mr. Johns to the train before I get someone to forcefully escort you, and I don't want that." He says then stalks away, Mr. Peen quickly follows behind him with a straight back and his stupid nose in the air.

Oh he thinks he is so fucking posh, honestly he is just sucking up.

"Miss, please follow me." Mr. Johns says and I give him a small nod before following him, I glance at the door that would lead to my friends and let out a sad sigh.

I can't say goodbye? What the hell? I'll just call them when I get my phone from my suitcase. Oh shit, I put it in my suitcase, it's now on the train so I'll get it back when I arrive in like 4-5 hours. Flipping Great! Perfect!

As we arrive at the train someone walks over to me and my face lights up as I recognise the small black suitcase with red nail polish coating the handle thanks to Ethan, in his hand.

"Miss Maia Adams I presume." The middle age man says in a very upper class British accent and if your wondering I am British but I was sent to America when I was a few weeks old so I have the accent.

My parents died when I was born, someone left me on the doorstep of a random foster home in the city.

I was sent here as soon as the woman in the adoption agency, who took me from the foster home I was left at as they didn't want me, found out I was a werewolf.

"Uh yes that's me." I say rubbing my arm nervously, he gives me a curt nod then motions for me to follow him. I keep up with him, abandoning the teacher that came with me.

"This is where you will be seated for you journey to Werewolf Academy." He says pointing to a cart behind the actual driving cart. He threw my suitcase at me, I caught it stumbling backwards in the process. Fucker...

I get into the cart and see it's just like a normal train but it looks so much more expensive. I take a seat and jump as he man slams the door shut, so I guess I'm going to be alone in here.

I felt the train jolt signalling that we have started our journey. I place my suitcase next to my seat and lean back, today has just been too much.

I didn't want to leave now, Tyson isn't his usual self and he hasn't been for a few weeks now. I need to figure out what's wrong with him but this is my dream.

I take my iPhone 6 out of my suitcase, having a job is a good thing. I check if I have any messages and find only one from Ethan.

\~*\~

From Ethan:
Have a super awesome time M ;) -E

\~*\~

I sigh, nothing from Tyson. I grumpily put my phone in my pocket and get up to look around the cart. The seats are made with black leather and there are red curtains each side of every window.

There is also a bar at the back of the cart, I make my way over to it and take a beer out of the mini fridge. I put the top on the side of the bar and hit it, cracking the lid off.

I take a sip and let it run down my throat. For humans it would take 1-2 to feel buzzed and 5 to be drunk. For werewolves it takes 4 to be buzzed and like 9-10 to be drunk because we have a faster metabolism.

I sit back down in my seat and finish my beer in two gulps, even though I'm not buzzed it's nice to have some considering Werewolf School wouldn't allow you too.

I've only had any at parties that I've sneaked off too mostly with Tyson because Ethan was busy "studying". We had such great times even if we were always caught and punished. I chuck the beer bottle towards the bin and rejoice as it lands straight in it.

"I'm so fucking amazing." I say to myself and I put my arms behind my head, relaxing.

The speaker just above my head buzzed making me jump, once again, out of my seat and starring at the speaker I realised it was the driver speaking.

"We will be arriving at Werewolf Academy in 5 minutes, please get all your belongings and when exiting make sure you don't leave anything. Anything that is left will be put in the trash. Thank you for cooperating."

I rolled my eyes, I hate it when driver speak because 1. They sound so fucking bored 2. They talk so slowly 3. They thank you for cooperating when you haven't even done anything.

I'm just over reacting but you know. Oh fucking well. I grab all my stuff and put my phone in my jean pocket.

I exit the train and find myself alone, as it's Autumn the leaves from the trees are all sorts of colours. Then my eyes land on the WA, I gasp at the beauty of it.

It's a castle, well it looks like one. I can't imagine how amazing it is inside and I can't wait to just get in, this crisp wind is freezing my *** off.

I take a few steps forward only to crash with someone sending us both flying to the grassy ground that covered most of the grounds here.

"I'm so sorry." The other person says and helps me up. I look up and see a girl standing straight in front of me with bright red (not ginger) hair and a set of brown eyes.

She is approximately the same height as me and I notice the contact lenses laying in her eyes.

"It's okay, it's my fault." I say smiling at her and she gives me a cheerful grin.

"Hey you must be the new-be, come on I'll show you to your room. Then the Alpha is waiting to meet you."

Oh no.
