My Werewolf System

A few days had passed with nothing much happening. The news announced the death of Billy Bruntin and had reported that it was due to the Altered Hunters. Nothing big had happened with Gary since then and even when he saw Blake the two of them seemed to act normal with each other.

There was one change though, after Amy had returned to school, Stacy was nowhere to be found. When she had asked their home room teacher about it, the adult woman didn’t know any of the specifics, having been told that the high school girl had transferred somewhere else.

Whether Stacy had told her parents about everything or insisted on moving, who knew. Perhaps she was even still in Slough, just in a different school. In the end, Gary was happy that at least it was a problem Amy didn’t need to deal with, but now there was no one close to watch her over at school.

Still, although there were no worries per se with how things were progressing, there was one annoying thing still in front of Gary.

[You have 16 days until the next full moon]

Gary was staring at the message as he leaned back on his chair with its two legs, balancing as he went forward and back.

‘This month has gone by quickly. I'll soon have to start dealing with the ‘blessing’ of the full moon again, and my bloodlust will increase. However, if my theory is correct, as long as I burn through most of my Energy beforehand, to the point that I won’t have enough to transform, I should be good.

‘I might be irritable the entire day due to hunger, but if it's just one day, I’ll be able to hold out.’ Gary thought. He suddenly felt a vibration from within his pocket. Pulling out his phone, he read through the message, which put a smile on his face.

“What's the good news?” Tom asked who had been less involved in his friend's life. For now, Gary had been in a good mood, so he would stay in a good one as well and not put a damper on things.

“The repairs are done. It looks like I’ll be able to work again starting today.” Gary whispered to Tom during class. “Do you wanna come to our grand reopening?”

“Sorry.” Tom sighed as he stuck his head back in his books. “For once, I’ll be the one who will take the rain check. These days, my dad wants me to brush up and help with some of their research. You know how they want me to follow in their footsteps.

“I think he plans to bring me along to their lab during the holidays to help out, and I really don’t want to embarrass them. Apparently, he can bring me on as some type of intern. Oh, and don’t worry, I'll ask him that question you want to ask as well, about those beasts.”

Nodding along, Gary was happy that things were getting back to normal. At least, as normal as they could get, anyway.

“Alright, everyone, I know that you’re all eager to go home today, but I’m reminding you that even though it’s Saturday tomorrow, Westbridge’s talent show is a mandatory event. Now, I don’t want to have to send any of you to detention.” Mr Grey said, standing at the front of the class. “Xin, as the new class representative, would you kindly pass out the flyers?”

The high school girl went around, passing out the flyers, and nearly all the boys had a huge grin on their face when she came to them. It had only been this morning that she had been announced to be their class’s representative.

As the new girl, she hadn’t expected to be elected. It was a mostly unimportant role, and the only reason she had even thrown her name into the ring was following her father’s suggestion. According to the mayor, it would look good on her future resume, though his daughter suspected he also saw it as a chance to brag about her accomplishments to his associates.

She had run against Tiffany, and the reason she had won was due to the major support she had received from the male half of her class. Many of the girls had been split between her and the other candidate, Tiffany, who at this moment was biting her nails, as she stared at Xin.

As pretty as she was, the boys just didn’t like Tiffany’s attitude. On the other hand, the new girl treated them nicely and it was easy enough to talk to her, due to her interest in fighting, especially Altered fights. Unlike the class diva, Xin didn’t just assume everyone who was talking to her was hitting on her.

After everyone received a flyer, she began to assign different tasks to her classmates, as they were also supposed to help out with the event in some way. Either by creating things or setting up the room, among other things.

‘Xin… she still looks gorgeous. I haven’t really talked to her… well, since she kicked my butt.’ Gary realised. He wasn’t really listening to her instructions, just happy to hear her voice after so long. Now that he didn’t have to worry about a bloodthirsty monster, his brain had time to focus on ‘more important’ things. ‘Come to think of it, didn’t she say that she would date whoever could beat her? I’ve gotten a lot stronger… should I give it a try?’

‘Although… Would it be fair? Me, a Werewolf, beating her as a human? … No, the important thing is getting that date! Then we can get to know each other! I’ll finally have the chance to enjoy my life like a normal high school boy! I can’t just think about fighting forever.’ Gary thought as he hyped himself up, ready to ask Xin for a rematch.

When school ended, due to the talent show that was happening tomorrow, after school club classes had been cancelled for the day. Tom was heading home as he said he would.

“Are you ready to head to the Wolf’s Pool Club?” Innu asked, since he too had received the news.

“Errrr…” Gary hesitated, as he looked out of the corner of his eye and could see that Xin was already leaving the room.

“Oh! I see! You horny dog, you!” Innu punched him on his shoulder. As he did that, the high schooler realised just how solid Gary's body was, which honestly surprised him.

“Alright, go ahead! I’ll tell the others you might be late. Afterwards, I’ll be the one to swoop in after she gets so frightened that a broccoli asked her out.”

With that said, it was time for Gary to make a move for his love life.
