One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf

Chapter 3

I could not sleep.

I kept tossing and turning, checking my phone for new updates on my social demise but nothing.

Hoping and wishing for someone to at least take my side on things but nothing, not one person thought

it would be a nice thing to do, no. I was being crucified for something I did not do.

Jaxon should be the one getting all the blame. Azuri and I are just the victims here! She fell for the

school bad boy and I'm just the girl in his sights. He's playing all of us but sure, blame the new girl.

It was only 5am and my alarm won't ring for another 2hours but I decide to make my bed and shower, I

can try keep myself busy by straightening my unruly hair after my shower since it's got to be in a

ponytail and I never got to wash it since the yogurt incident.

My phone pings as I'm getting dressed and I quickly open the app to see if there's any changes.

In chatpax is Jaxon's response to all of this.

'Stop this. We all know I'm the one to blame here, so stop bullying Hailey because I wanted to be

around her. Azuri is not my girlfriend and never was, nothing was wrecked. Azuri knows it but chooses

to deny it, for reasons I don't know. I don't want to hear anyone call her a wrecker today, zero gossip

about her and no bullying on Azuri's behalf. Let the new girl settle in before villainizing her.' Jaxon said

on text.

I had to read it over and over again. He said he'd fix this and here it is, not sure if it will fix anything but

if anyone was confused about their relationship, they can have clarity now. Jaxon, probably the

school's hottest boy just confessed he was single.

The short giddy girl barges in to my room again.

"Oh my god! Boundaries!" I shout out loud and she just rolls her eyes at me.

Sitting on my bed, she whips out her phone and starts reading Jaxon's message on the app.

I stay quiet, pretending not to care as I fix my hair.

"So now you're going from wrecker to his new fresh meat because people think that's why he's so into

you. He has been with other girls while doing whatever he and Azuri were doing and now, you." She

says, this time, I was rolling my eyes.

"First of all, could you stop walking in to my room like you own it? And secondly, have manners.

Introduce yourself before making yourself comfortable on a stranger's bed!" I say, pulling her off of my

bed and using my hand to fix the crease on the duvet cover where she was just sitting.

"Oh my bad! I forgot about that, I'm sorry. My name is Rebecca and I stay like four doors down from

you. The other girls are either too scared to talk to you in fear of social suicide because queen Azuri will

annihilate anyone that befriends you or they are envious of Jaxon's clear interest in you but not me. I

couldn't care about either, I'm in to girls anyway." Rebecca tells me.

Wow what a mouthful.

"I don't care for friends, I just hope this text will have people off my back. That's all I want, to attend

school, graduate and go to college not to play social hierarchy on a pyramid scale based on

relationships and stepping on toes. It's better if people stay away, I'm a loner anyway." I say before

applying mascara. I finish applying and get to packing the books I'll need for today.

"Whoa, you're the emo kind?" Rebecca asks and I scoff.

"I have too much to deal with, not sure if I fit in to any box because I just said I'm not interested in

playing the social status game but sure, if my lack of interest in making friends makes me an emo, by

all means, put me in a box. Now, can you get out?" I ask and Rebecca chuckles.

"I like you! Anyway, you might not want my opinion but I'll give it to you anyway. If anything, this

message from Jaxon made things worse, people might not bully you or call you names out loud, but

they will still despise you because of who is in your corner. You're the new girl who has Jaxon Gellar

defending her, making you instantly popular and at the top. Something everyone here could not

achieve in a day, so sharpen your knives naive little Hailey. Don't say I did not warn you..." She says

before walking out.

I huff out loud as I throw myself on my perfectly made queen size bed.

"Oh and I hope after a few stares and whispers, you'll rethink the disinterest in the social status game

and join me during school hours. I may not be popular but I can have your back when Jaxon is not

around because trust me, he won't always be around and you'll need it." She says then disappears off. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Why did I think coming to this school was such a good idea? Oh yeah!

Getting away from my father and his evil wife is worth getting my head smashed in I guess.

"Is this a bad time?" Jaxon's voice echoes in my not so furnished dorm room.

"You've already made things worse for me so I guess it can't get any better now anyway." I say sitting

up on my bed.

"What do you mean? Nobody will bully you now. I put a stop to it." He says to me and I scoff.

"Yeah they won't bully me but they will still feel something for me and not the good kind of feelings.

You're the popular guy and I just wanted to be the loner girl, left alone to focus on school so I can

graduate and go to college where none of this popularity bullshit exists. At least not where I plan to go.

Everyone is a nerd where I want to go so it will be a breath of fresh air." I say and he chuckles.

"You may be a nerd but your beauty is striking. There is no way you'll be left alone Hailey, take it from

me. I just risked my social status to defend you and I'll gladly do it until you graduate." He says to me.

"Oh gee thank you for tarnishing your gleaming and oh so spotless reputation and social standing

because you could not resist my striking beauty. Whatever will you do if you lose your ranking?" I

sarcastically say.

He falls on his back on my bed laughing. His laughter fills my room, making me blush. I look away,

secretly smiling that I was able to bring such a handsome man to a tear staining fit of laughter.

"That was a good one. I thought you were the shy kind but you open up completely in closed quarters

don't you? Or do you just feel comfortable with me?" Jaxon asks and I roll my eyes, getting up from my

bed to grab my bag but he beats me to it.

"Felt like walking you to the school grounds today and I'm not taking no for an answer. Azuri may be

expelled but there's no telling if her parents won't try to fight for her to come back to school. There's not

another school for miles and miles so I'm here to make sure she knows her place and that she notices

that I mean business." He says and I mentally groan at his words.

Azuri could come back from an expulsion. What in the craziness is that!?

"Do I need to get a restraining order to keep her away?" I ask. This makes him chuckle lightly.

"I guess that could work." He says before he opens the door to let me out. A brown haired girl falls

down as the door opens

I look up to see a few girls standing at my door and I gasp.

"Get to hear anything?" Jaxon asks but all the girls try to pretend they were doing something else.

"Oh don't get all shy on me Susan and don't worry, I'm the perfect gentleman with Hailey here. I will

marry her first before we get to third base." He says grinning from ear to ear as he walks away.

All the girls gasp at his statement.

Yip, he just made things worse for me and he knew it. His big ass smile was proof of that and I am

pretty sure Azuri is going to hear of this. I wouldn't be surprised if they were calling her right now to give

her the tea. I was now stuck with Jaxon because my coward ass will not be fighting Azuri or any of her

minions if I decide to keep my distance from Jaxon and who was I kidding?

His statement made the butterflies to erupt in my stomach and my inner self was dancing to the

repetition of his words over and over again as we walked to the school grounds.

I can't deny that I'm drawn to him, i likey like him and if I'm being honest with myself, this is worse than

dealing with Azuri. I know I am in trouble...

...because we all know that liking the popular guy in school never ends well.
