C13 He Knows

Early in the morning, I went to school modishly as I haven’t had enough sleep last night.

After I parked the bike, I took a glimpse at those students who were smiling and walking freely in and out of the school.

They were so in high spirits for having no idea their lives are going to be in great danger; especially this Beast Lord had started doing his purpose.

“Hey, Mcwell! Didn’t you have sleep well last night? Where did you go? Let me guess, in the woods running?”

It was Roger wearing a gigantic grin spread across his face while heading towards me and shrugged his shoulder to mine.

“What do you want, Roger? We already won the first game and you’re still the captain.” I replied in a conceited way.

“Mcwell, Mcwell, Mcwell! Why were you so low-tempered these days, huh? I am just happy that I saw you. That’s all!”

To my surprise, he suddenly grips my neck. I was taken aback and almost stumble to the ground. He leaned his face to mine.

“Here is the thing, Mcwell; I want to have what you have right now. Because if not, see that angelic smile of your beloved, Ina? I’ll make sure it wouldn’t last.”

He threatened me as he was looking at Ina, walking with Miya heading to the school.

My veins were throbbing at the moment. I rolled my eyes and huffy sighed.

“I don’t know what you were talking about, Roger. So please, leave me alone. I didn’t do anything to you.”

“Oh, you know what am I referring to, Mcwell. Don’t be so dumb, boy! The sudden speed, massive strength, advances hearing? How about the full moon? Does it ring a bell to you?”

I immediately bit my lip and was left speechless after he released his hands off my neck and walked away. How did he know about it? There’s only one human being who knows about me being a wolf. It was only Kevin.

“Forty-eight hours, Mcwell! If you cannot provide me what I want, I’ll make sure everyone knows about your deepest secret! Better choose the right one.” He sarcastically shouted before entering the room.

When I saw Kevin approaching, I immediately ran into him with a bothered and restless face.

“Hey, bro, I might have a bigger problem!”

We then head to the room.

“Let me guess, I am right about the person we helped last night that he was the bad one?”

“No, I haven’t heard of him after he left the house.”

“Then, what?”

“It’s Roger, dude, and he already knows.”

I was pacing back and forth.

Kevin suddenly stopped walking. His brow raised in confusion.

“Roger knows that you are a…?” he raised his voice.

I immediately covered his mouth with my hands. “Watch your mouth, dude. That is why I am asking you. It was only you whom I talked to about this.”

He moved out his mouth off my hand. “I am your best friend, Clark! Telling someone about your secret was never in my mind.”

I extremely released heavy breathe.

“What am I suppose to do? He threatened me, that if I should not give him what he need, he would tell everyone about the secret.”

“Then give what he wants?”

“You don’t get it, dude! He wanted to have what I have.”

“You mean the werewolf thing?”

“Sssshhhh.”

“Well, maybe you should threaten him or scare the hell out of him so he’ll not bother you anymore.”

“Bro, of all people, you knew me better. I only wanted to live a normal life, staying away as far as possible from any trouble.”

“Then let your werewolf parents handle the thing. You should have to make his mouth shout, bro, that’s all I could advise.”

After we seated, I looked at Roger who’s sitting at the back with his friends in disrespect. I couldn’t dare scare him but it is not in my vocabulary to let the world knows about me.

What should I do? I turned back my face to the green board in frustration.

“Come on, Mcwell. Don’t show me that kind of face. What I asked from you was simple.”

He murmured knowing I can clearly hear him.

“Shit…” I felt some butterflies in my stomach.

Kevin looked at me in confusion.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“No, I am not bro. Roger was talking to me right now.”

“What did he say?” He glared at Roger.

“Okay, class, sorry for being late. I am at the Dean’s office to welcome another new student, Mr. Porter.” Coach Brown announced.

My eyes and Kevin’s immediately widened. My eyes were locked at him standing firmly in front of me. He smiled.

“What are you doing?” I curiously asked.

“I am here to study, Clark. Why, is there something wrong?” Porter calmly replied.

“No, nothing’s wrong here. I mean, how did you get in here?”

“Rico and Cletisa helped me. And I am here to help you. Just tell me what I should do.”

I don’t know but, it appears that I felt relieved in some ways.

“Hey, how about this, I’ll tell you what you should do on behalf of Clark?” Kevin replied with an evil plan in mind.

“Is everything, all right, Mcwell, Stewart, and Porter? Detention office now!” Coach ordered.

“But, Coach, we didn’t do …?”

I was not able to continue why words when Kevin grabbed me and Porter out of the room.

Coach Brown continued his discussion. However, Kevin didn’t release his grip until we have reached detention hall.

Porter hissed.

“Seems your human friend was happy being detained, huh?”

“No, I’m not. But, just so you know, Clark has a problem right now and he might probably need your help. You want to help him, right?” Kevin replied.

“I will only help if Clark’s the one talking, not you, human!” He grinned.

I stared at Kevin, with a thought in my head that Porter’s arrival was in good timing. I really need some help with Roger.

I left no choice but to tell him about Roger’s threat. After telling him everything, he promised to cooperate. He might also be in danger after all, as a werewolf.

The plan might be against my dignity but I had to do something.

Because Porter was truly a hot and good-looking guy, all the girls he passed by were drooling at him.

After the one-hour detention, we went to our next classes.

Porter made sure that all his subjects match mine so he could watch over me. Perhaps, he already knew that I am the one he was looking for the night he landed in the house.

“Hi, Mr. Hottie, what school did you come from?” Miya showed some interest.

Yeah. Miya and Roger were both alike. I also remember when Ina arrived at the school; he was trying to get her digits.

Moreover, Porter was speechless. He had no idea how to respond.

“He’s from Greendale University. And he is my cousin from my father’s side and, he is currently staying in the house.” I stammered.

Porter extended his hands into my shoulder and grinned at Miya.

Miya shifting her look side by side at us in comparison.

“Hmmph, you two really are cousins. It was nice to meet you…?” She extended her hand.

Porter immediately took off his hands from my shoulder and accepted Miya’s. He kissed her wrist.

Kevin was envious of Porter. He has only been here for like an hour but he already kissed Miya’s wrist. Miya also kinda likes it too. She giggled and shuddered.

“See you later, hottie!” she added and went off.

Porter suddenly locked his eyes with me. I felt uncomfortable.

“What?”

“I am just thinking what you have said earlier about me staying in your house. I really need one. That would be your payment for helping you out from Roger.”

I didn’t say anything but for the least, I could repay him.

After the class, we went to the boy’s locker room to prepare for the practice. Porter, on the other hand, was truly serious with his promise to watch over me all the time.

“Do you have nothing to do aside from following me?” I asked.

“Porter, you gotta sign this form first for the waiver. You’re an adult now, right?” Coach Brown interrupted.

“Yes, Coach. I am nineteen years old already.”

Kevin and I exchanged glances when Porter was wearing our lacrosse uniform.

“Okay, listen, everyone! Porter will be playing for the team starting from now. One more thing, after the last game, I made some adjustments for the team.” Coach emphasizes.

He took the name cards in his pocket and mentioned some other bench players who gonna play as first-line in preparation for the next game, including Kevin.

Kevin jump in excitement. His happiness is out of reach.

“Okay, here’s my bigger changes, listen, everyone, starting from now, I want you to follow this student’s lead as I am going to appoint, Mr. Mcwell to be the co-captain of the team, effective immediately.”

Coach Brown blows his whistle. Kevin and I were both blissful for the great news. I couldn’t believe seeing myself becoming a captain on the team.

“But, Coach! Isn’t it confusing when there were two captains in the team?” Roger angrily replied.

Roger insisted on Coach Brown’s sudden decision that I don’t deserve the position.
