Chapter 1
I look into the mirror and sigh. My black hair was pushed out of my face and my once bright green eyes were now dull and had dark bags under them. I glance down at my hoodie's sleeves, i knew all too well what was hiding under them. I look at the closed door me and my roommate Ella got lucky with a bathroom in our dorm. A loud knock made me snap out of my train of thought. "Come on Sofia! You've been in there for half an hour!" I blink a few times before i open the bathroom door and step into the bedroom. "Sorry, i lost track of time." I mumble as i rub the back of my neck. "Yeah, whatever." Ella says as she rolls her eyes and walks past me. I walk over to my desk and i grab the stack of text books and notebooks along with a few essays. I step out of my dorm and into the hallway for the dorm. The walk to the main building was a five mintue walk which i didn't mind. I normally walk with my friends; Zoe and Alex but they both had early classes. I kick a few small rocks as i walk. Since it was early fall the air had a small nip to it. As i walk i bumb into someone i stumble back dropping my books in the process. I hear a small yelp, i look up and i see Hunter fall back. I push myself up and i walk over to him and offer him a hand. "Sorry, i wasn't paying attention." He blinks up at me for a few seconds before he reaches up and takes my hand. As he does his sleeve rides up showing off a small tattoo on his wrist in the shape of a small wolves paw. "Cool tattoo." He gives me a confused look before his eyes widen and he lets out a small laugh. "Oh thanks." He mumbles before he kneels down and grabs my books before he hands them back to me. As i reach out to grab the books i feel the bandage catch on my sleeve. I ignore the discomfort and grab my books from him. "Again sorry Hunter." He shrugs. "It's fine, Sofia." He grabs his bag before he turns around and walks into the building. I follow after him. My first class is math, the class i hate the most. The teacher is a asshole and half of the class hates him. Plus i suck at math. I open the door and step inside. I keep my head down as i find a seat at the back and sit down. Thankfully the class is only forty five minutes long. My mind flashes back to Hunters little tattoo it was cute, maybe he had a pet that died or he just really liked it but something in the back of my mind didn't sit right. Maybe because my crazy uncle always said he hunts werewolves and other 'supernatural creatures' but werewolves aren't real. Even though he did always say werewolves have the paw mark after they experience their first shift. But its not real. Its fictional. I tell myself as i mindlessly write whatever math bullshit was on the board. After half an hour i feel my sleeve starting to stick to me. I mumble a small curse before i excuse myself and i head for the bathroom. I take a few minutes to clean it up and re-bandage it. I decide to skip the rest of the day and i text Zoe and Alex to bring me bavk notes and any homework. I get changed into comfortable clothes. I flop on my bed since Ella wasn't here it didn't matter if i had short sleeves but deep down i knew if i saw any of the old scars I'd relapse. I sigh as i let older happer memories carry me away.
