Apparently, the guy she hit last night is another weirdo in school who has never had any friends. There is a belief that he's bad luck because literally anyone who befriends him ends up dead.

The guy who was found in the bushes happen to be his only friend who he had in years and his death make everyone believe the rumors, no one dare to let him two inches closer.

Heather wonder if the friend that died is a carbon copy of the outcast guy so she can be sure whether she's a murderer or not.

If she is not, how on earth did he survive the crash and is able to come to school today? He does not seem to be in pain or anything.

Heather feel like she is being followed all through the remaining school hours and hope to escape away soon but she had to stay back for detention.

She walk into the music class looking at the clock hoping she get release early to enable her enough time to buy Pat a gift before seven.

Just as she settle down to spend the next hours in boredom, the classroom door open and the very last person she want to see walk in.

Mouth agape, Heather gaze at him until he's standing before her and let out a screech realizing he is real.

"You want another detention Stoll?" The teacher asked and Heather shakes her head to answer no.

"Please don't kill me" Heather pleads in low whisper.

He stand in front of her for few minutes doing nothing but only staring at her sending shivers down her spine until the teacher order him to find a seat.

"Sit down William"

'William? He has the same last name as Antonio ' Heather thought and watch him take a seat beside her not taking his eyes off.

Heather wait for him to grab her neck and ask her why she had hit him with her car and run away, leaving him to die but his honey pecan eyeballs give her an icy glare instead.

Leo could not fathom where to start his inquiry about what the girl he has seen last night. 'Did she perhaps saw him change? Did she happen to see who or what killed Alfonso? Did she hit him on purpose because she works for the wolf?'

The clock ticks signaling to Leo that he has little time for the detention to be over, after that he might not be able to have this conversation with her.

He really wants to know if he had really shifted yesterday or was just lucky to have his wounds healed and able to catch her scent even though he was unconscious.

After years of being wolf less, he has finally seen hope of becoming a lycan and probably break his curse.

Heather wait for him to say something, anything to make her bones relax from the tension of getting stabbed in the throat by him since she could literally feel his breath on her skin but nothing happened.

Turning herself in to the cops or getting killed inside the music classroom or perhaps in a far more worst place, Heather is not sure which one to choose though it seem she has little or no choice.

'Wait! How did he recognize me?' Heather thinking cells questioned her and she realizes that there is a good possibility he doesn't recognize her.

He did not see her face last night and it was too dark to catch her license number when she drove off. All these might just be a total coincidence and her misunderstanding that he came for her.

"What did you see?" His thick voice ask Heather and her breathe seize in shock at the question and the sound of his voice make the hair on her body stand.

'He knows' Heather cry in pursing her lips and try to think of a way to get out of this, he might have a recorder ready to get her confession and send it to the cops.

"Did you see anything strange?" He asked again his voice coming as a whisper send Heather Goosebumps.

"What do you mean strange?" Heather asks before she can stop herself, she bit her lower lips regrettably.

"Something that freaks you out of your mind"

Heather think of how the bones start cracking and seeing the body get up in a horrifying way and wonder if it is more strange than the fact that he had bled that much blood and still didn't die but is here looking healthy.

"Nothing" she told him.

Heather wait for him to ask more, probably strangle her to get the truth out but he did nothing till it is six o'clock and Heather walk out unscathed much to her surprise.

The door of the house making the cranky noise to announce someone coming in made Hope open her eyes. She helps herself to her slippers trying to move her arm which feels heavy from the drips she has received all night and walk downstairs.

she try to get to Heather before her Mom do but the sound of someone being hit across the face make her know she's too late.

Hope try not to fall at the last staircase as she hurry to watch her get punished for her selfishness.

"Your sister almost died last night because of you" her Dad baritone voice yells

The look on Heather's face did not satisfy her at all, the slap seem not to be enough to get her to the right senses. Hope wishes she could go up to her and rip her hair out for attempting to kill her.

Yesterday night after Heather had stormed out of the house, Hope suddenly had a seizure and because her sister had taken the only car in the house, they had to wait for the emergency unit to come pick her to the hospital.

Hope thought she would lose her life as the pains overcome her body when the ambulance didn't arrive in five minutes. Because of the delayed time she has to spend all night in the emergency ward getting drips and injection to stabilize her body system.

"It's not my fault that she's sick, you both shouldn't have gotten married to each other in the first place"

"And isn't it better if she dies? All she ever do is make my life miserable"

Hope clench her fist though it is barely a fist since her arm lack the strength and she bite her lips hard angered.

Heather receive another slap on the cheek as the words left her mouth and she grab her cheeks fuming

she rush upstairs staring dagger at Hope who she wishes so much to hit and have her confine to bed forever.

"You are grounded for life!" Her Mum yells after her.

Heather slams her door not wanting to have anything to do with any one of them. She jump on her bed hard and it give a loud crack. She has asked her Dad for a new bed but he refuse with the excuse he has to pay her sister's school fees.

Her sister literally spends half of the school term in the hospital where she wastes their family's little fortune.

Deciding not to let them get to her head, Heather get up to prepare for Pat's birthday, luckily she already taken the spaghetti strap bodycon dress and the purple wedge heels from Hope's closet.

Heather ransacks her bag and brings out the hundred dollars she has stolen from her Dad to buy a good gift for Pat. This would erase any doubt of her being rich for a while.

She packs the stuff inside her school backpack and jump out the window injuring her toes but hurry away to the Pat’s house for the party.
