Werewolf Committee

"Everyone you may leave. Elina, please stay back."

I watched in amazement as everyone broke out into whispers. Various people openly stared at me and I overheard a few wondering who I even was. Soon enough, they hurried out of the gym. Some people gave me smiles on the way, while others glared and stomped away.

"He said Harry Potter right?" I asked Lily who was jumping up and down while holding onto my arm.

"Elina! Its you! They chose you! Oh God, your going to meet the high wolves!" She squealed as she pushed me towards where the principal and teachers stood.

I stumbled forward and caught my balance before turning my head around and sending Lily a glare. However she just gave me a huge smile and motioned for me to go forward.

"Ah, Ms Weitzel. I presume your bags will be ready for tonight?" the principal suddenly said, appearing in front of me.

"Wait, you mean Scotty from prank patrol isn't going to jump out from behind the curtains?" I said as I looked around for hidden cameras, while the principal chuckled but I was dead serious.

"No Ms Weitzel. You are indeed chosen. You have all the qualities the Werewolf Committee needs," he said placing a hand on my shoulder.

I looked down at the hand he placed on my shoulder and then back up at his face. I shrugged his hand off while side stepping away from him.

"But you say I'm so clumsy! Sure I get good grades, but the Werewolf Committee? Thats huge!" I said putting my hands up in the air to prove my point.

"You'll do great."

With that, my principal gave me one last smile, before turning his back on me.

I watched him walk away as I stood there with my hands limply down my sides.

"What happened? There were lots of hand gestures," Lily said grinning as she now stood in front of me.

"Well," I began, '-he didn't say Harry Potter. That's for sure," I said grimly.
