WOLF MARK 17
- Oh, the party ... - only this was not enough for me after a ten hour bus ride, - Honestly, I'll be a corpse by the end of the day. I think I'll stay somewhere in the hotels at the entrance, and see you tomorrow. Certainly not in the morning.- I let you fall asleep at the party. When will we see you all now! - in anticipation of a fun party, he completely forgot my character.I still excused myself and said goodbye until tomorrow. I liked the gentle nature of David, even looking at the world differently, he never pressured me. Unlike the hurricane Sonya, he never got into my soul, he knew almost nothing about my life before university. This suited me perfectly, and I was glad that we were going to Maryland together. After six and a half unbearable hours, we arrived at Casper. The whole body was numb, the legs seemed to no longer straighten, and I also madly wanted to go to the toilet. Perhaps my neighbor would not be so bad if it were not for his annoying parents in the seat behind
WOLF MARK 18
And in the morning they brazenly threw me, leaving hairs of wool on an already stale blanket and a bunch of unanswered questions. Oh, how angry I was! Either to worry that a stray werewolf or a naked Reed is wandering somewhere around the district, or to be glad that it’s not for me to deal with this. But I'm not used to rejoicing early, it is unlikely that the beast that tracked me down to Laramie will leave me alone so easily. And if he is not there, then Reed has already left the room. But where did he go - a good question. I should ask if Reed Cooper checked in here.Deciding to quickly leave this haunt, I hastily treated my wounds (Mira would have been horrified by the surrounding unsterility), put myself in order, put the clothes in which I spent the night deeper into my suitcase, and went to make inquiries.A portly woman in a knitted waistcoat, who replaced yesterday's quiz-lover, gave me a lapel-turn in a very rude manner - she is not going to give information about the guest
WOLF MARK 19
Only when Sonya sat down opposite me with a cup did she focus her eyes on me and be able to see. And there was something to look at - a bandage around the neck, a bandaged arm. Squinting her large, wide-set eyes, she leaned back in her chair and pointed at my "decorations":- What's that? Where did you get it? - I just sighed, it's hard to hide something from Sonya. All these years I tried to keep quiet about life at home, but everything that happened in my life in Laramie, she pulled out with pincers. Now Sonia set out to find out about Lovell, too.- You won't believe it, I had an accident on the way home, - I began as plausibly as possible, - The car is beyond repair, I had to turn it in for spare parts.- Damn, - Sonya sympathized, - But some strange damage for a car accident, - she did not let up. I just have to shrug my shoulders, - And how are things at home?I never told her that I live in a community. She talked briefly about Lovell, about the school, about her aunt. But even

WOLF MARK 20
- New Yorker ... - Sonya chuckled. I barely suppressed a laugh. Michael moved from there with his family as a child - he would have to hand over debts, but he wanders around the country.- In time, - David waved his hand dismissively, - by the way, I called him here to discuss the trip.Ah, that's who he was looking out for, sitting half-turned towards us and hanging one elbow over the back of a chair. Sonya and I exchanged glances. Yevopil - what the hell!? And mine - in a milder form - agreed with her. It's not that I don't mind going with Michael, whom I don't even really know. I was surprised that David put me before the fact. Sonya was the first to express this to her friend, but he only laughed - they say, what problems - it will be more fun!His main argument was - guess what - the more people, the merrier. I didn’t even interfere in David’s bickering with Sonya, who was so indignant as if she herself was traveling with us. Anxiety, which was completely unrelated to our new tra
WOLF MARK 21
And now we were already dispersing on business, because the start of the trip was scheduled for nine in the morning of the next day, "well, the edge of ten" - as Michael later added, apparently who liked to sleep longer. Reed Cooper, who had long ago begun to ignore me, headed for the exit along with everyone. All my meaningful glances, yelling at him - "what are you doing?", "We need to talk in private" - he impudently did not notice. On the street, Reed waved to the guys and went towards his car, I quickly whispered to Sonya that I would catch up with her, and followed him.- Wait, - Reid was about to get into the car. He reluctantly closed the door and turned to me, - Do you want to explain?What kind of explanation do you want? And where did that cute guy go? With me, he dropped all the masks and behaved impatiently. And far from friendly.- Why are you coming with us? - how annoying.- Because we are on the way, - he just scoffed at me, - It must be really very interesting, since
WOLF MARK 22
Amanda happily ran out to the meeting. She has grown a lot in six months.- Lark, you're back! - she crashed into me from all over, and then raised her face to me. The smile showed that not all milk teeth had been replaced by molars, crumbs accumulated around the lips, but still it was absolutely charming. And not at all like her mother, apparently, the girl's father was very handsome. - My dear, she arrived, but remember, I told you that Lark was leaving to study, - Bertha intervened.“Yes, I remember, I remember,” the girl grumbled. We walked together to the stop. On the way, Amanda boasted to us about her successes and also complained about her classmate. And only when their bus was already visible at the turn, Berta remembered:- I completely forgot, - she began to fumble in her bag, and then got me a small book, - I did it for you.I picked up the gift, which turned out to be a diary full of clippings, bookmarks, and route maps.- What is it? - I was surprised.“These are my in
WOLF MARK 23
We agreed not so, - I know, it sounds childish. I feel sorry for myself, - We left Lovell together, but then everything - each in his own way.- It was you who agreed, - Reid deigned to answer, - She thought up something for herself, and others should follow your plan, - he interrupted for a few seconds while he was rebuilding in another row, - Do you want to be honest? Excellent. I'd love to be somewhere else, but the fact is, I don't have a choice. You got on the bus and waved your hand at me, and an hour later I could no longer hold back. He abandoned the car and chased the bus like a beagle. Do you think it's fun? Never.I sat, not breathing, nailed to his words. I felt his anger, impotence and resentment. I was ashamed that I still walked around with the air of an offended queen. I knew that I wasn't the only victim here...- So, I decided that it's easier for me to go with you than in the other direction. So at least I can sleep at night, instead of constantly catching up with y
