NovelEnglish"Heels or flats?". Alanna asked.
"For what?".
We were at the mall. A day we had apparently planned to shop for graduation clothes. I couldn't remember said plan, but I went with it, and it gotout the house for a few hours. "For under your gown".
"Flats". I didn't trust that I wouldn't fall over my feet or trip over on my heel. "Crocs if I'm allowed".
A laugh fell from her lips. "Crocs are taking out the trash shoes".
She had lost me.
"Do you even own crocs?". She asked.
"No but I plan on buying stoday".
She rolled her eyes before looping her arm through mine. "I heard a little something".
Here we go.
"What did you hear?". I asked.
I already knew what she was going to say. Nothing was sacred and god forbid if anyone could actually keep heir mouth shut. I swear you can't take a dump without someone knowing about it. "Something about your scent changing".

I didn't need for everyone thinking that I was. My scent has changed big deal. I took a test, and it cam barnegative, and I was still bleeding. "Are you sure?". She asked.
A sigh fell from my lips as I cto a stop. I wasn't having this conversation with her because it was n I didn't need for rumours spreading within the pack. That's if they haven't already. Alanna had a big m "Leah?". "I'm not pregnant I took a test".
"Did you take another test because the first one could have been faulty".
her business. It was private and personal, and I wanted to keep it that way.
ig heart but she couldn't keep a secret to save herself".
Of course, she would be the one to put that in my head. The test wasn't faulty, and I wasn't taking another one. I knew within myself that I wasn't having a baby. I didn't feel any different and nothing had changed. "No and I'm not going to. Where do you want to go for shoes?".
"I have shoes I was coming here for your benefit. Let's go get crocs. I might even buy myself a pair". "Trash shoes". I grinned.
She was staring, I could feel her with every bite of my burger I took. So, I ordered an extra burger sue me. I was hungry so I was going to eat.
"Do you want a bit?". I asked.
She shook her head.
"Then stop staring at me".
"Are you really sure you're not pregnant?". She asked.
I pushed my plate to the side my appetite gone.
"Look". She sighed. "You may not have noticed but your appetite has grown and maybe that's-...".
"Stop". I cut her off. "I ordered an extra burger because I didn't have breakfast. It's not a cryou know, and it doesn't mean anything". "You're drinking tea".
"I'm also drinking coke". I pointed out.
"But you never drink tea".
"Alanna".
"Okay, okay, I'll stop". She sighed.
"Can I eat the rest of my burger in peace?".
"Maybe not in peace". She glanced at the door. "My mom just walked in".
"Please tellyou didn't tell her".
"I didn't I swear".
Thank god. I didn't need for Charlotte to think I was pregnant. That was a whole other kettle of fish I wasn't ready for.

"Girls". She grinned. "I've picked your gowns up from the drycleaners and I want you both to cby tonight for dinner". We hadn't been for family dinner in a while.
"Sounds good". I smiled.
"Alanna?". She frowned.
"Of course, mom. Carter and I will be there".
"No honey it's just us girls tonight".
Oh. Maybe not a family dinner then. I wonder what she had in store for us.
A girl's night with never just @girls mom was night. There was always a reason behind it. If that reason wasn't me, then I was good for it. "What ttonight?". Alanna asked. "7 sharp and bring your pjs".
An overnighter? "I have to go I'll see you both tonight and don't be late".
"Bye". I waved.
"Any idea what that was about?". I asked.
"My mom being her normal self". She glanced at her watch. "Do you know he's got Carter and I on opposite patrols". "Carter still nights then". I finished off my burger and washed it down with the rest of my tea.
"We're hardly going to see each other. He always does this toand I'm sick of it".
