My Secret, My Bully, My Mates

I have been emailing in most of my assignments and logging in when the teacher can set up a video so I can follow along with the classes. For the most part, Mina joins in on those classes otherwise her dad would hear about her slacking and would pull her from this assignment. That is something we both learned the hard way.

She missed a lesson once and I thought the phone was going to break when he called to yell at her. It's never happened again, that he is aware of. She has taken to hanging out with a few girls from around here that are high school seniors. She's hoping that it will get us more invites to parties and other social scenes when we come back in January. Many of the girls know people who are going to the University and have invited us a few times to parties. We declined them all for now, but Mina promises she will be all in when she gets settled at school. It will be easier for me to tag along then too. I have met them all and they seem alright, but I am playing at being newly social and trying to get over my shyness. It's not a total lie, so the story is easy to sell.

The boys have taken notice of Mina too, human and wolf. I mean, even I have to admit, she's gorgeous so I can't blame them. Her personality and general good nature draw people in. Her dark reddish brown hair flows down her back silkily, even when she is fighting. I'm kind of jealous really. I jus look like a sweaty hot mess. Her average height makes it easy to look straight in her eyes to talk, no matter your own height. She's in shape, obviously, and the boys around here really seem to appreciate her efforts.

"Sky!" Mina jumps off her bed. "Beth just messaged me and said that her brother told her that his best friend's cousin is on the football team and they are planning a party after we all get back. They have a bi-week and will be free the first weekend after classes start."

"Huh?! I understood 'bi-week' in all of that." Mina speaking 'girl' is like trying to understand German sometimes.

"Basically, in your language, there is a football party when they all get back from the winter break. And she told me so we can plan on being here in time to go. That's all that you need to know. Oh, and plan on wearing a skirt and doing your hair. I wish we could call Sierra in on this, she's so much better at getting you to do the girly stuff than I am." She throws out as an afterthought. Probably based on the look on my face.
