Love Is No Fairy Tale by Olivia W (the beach read TXT) 📖

stayed still as he lifted up his lips. He walked around and walked up the steps. I was right his coat was black..he looked so soft. He casually sniffed a few things on the porch and pawed at the front door. He looked over at me and stared for a few moments before slowly, but boldly walked up to me. He sniffed my face and rubbed his face against mine. “Your so soft.,” I whisper hugging the animal.  The wolf sniffed my jacket keeping his nose there for a minute before turning and running off. I huffed glancing at my foggy breath. I huffed again and watched as the black wolf took off and the rest followed him with yips as if laughing. I stood and walked . I couldn't wait to ask Sara what the story was with them. After a bowl of mac n cheese, I decided to go to bed which wasn't hard.

Sara had woken me up the next morning. I groaned hugging the pillow next to me. There was something about this bed that seemed so cozy. “If you want food get up so you have time to eat” I watched as she left the sound of her steps growing softer and softer. I stood walking to my window. It must have snowed cause the wolves footprints were gone. The forest and yard looked so pretty with the snow untouched and in daylight. I sighed and walked back across the room. I need something warm yet I don't want to look like a new tourist idiot. I tossed a black pair of leggings on my bed along with a white tank top a white sweater and a denim jacket. The scent of coffee found its way into my room. The smell didn't bother me but I hated how it tastes. I changed quickly and ran downstairs. My grandma was sitting at the counter watching the news with a coffee mug between her hands. I listened as I opened the fridge and pulled out the carton of orange juice. “A heavy rain tomorrow, what a shocker,” she says with a chuckle. I pour it into a cup and put the carton back. “I'm starting to hate weather or maybe just winter, but then again I've Only been here a day”. Sara smiled at me. “Ah don't worry I thank the lord for the warm days we do have”

“What's that?”

what a shocker. After I downed my cup of orange juice I ran upstairs, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair and put it in dutch braids. I slipped on a pair of tan hiking boots grabbed my bag and ran downstairs. “I'll see you later grandma!” I yell “Be safe dear!” I took one step outside and my feet slipped forward. I hung on the door handle pushing myself up so my butt didn't touch the ground. With a huff, I stood and slowly made my way to the car. As I settled in my car the new idea kept circling my brain. This is my car. My car. My new car. I smiled and turned the heat on pulling out. The school didn't take more than twenty minutes and in those twenty minutes, I've never been honked at so much in my life. As I stepped out of my car everyone seemed happy that it was snowing a few people were even having a snowball fight or making a snowman. I carefully made my way across the parking lot and into the building. “Amanda Carter?” I turned my head and a pack of girls walked up to me. Imitating yet annoying. A girl smiled so big it was obvious it was fake. “Hi, my names Stacy and I heard we had a new girl so I just had to meet you!”

“Well don't I feel...charmed”

She smiled looking me up and down. “We'd like you to meet some of our friends after you've collected your stuff. Were more than willing to show you around” most of the girls behind her frowned or looked at me with disgust. “Maybe I'll take you up on that...” I turned and left them heading into the office. I took a deep breath away from them. I turned to the office lady. She kept her attention on her computer and Just as I was gonna speak she glanced at me. “You must be Amanda Carter, welcome” she says flatly.  She moved four textbooks in front of me along with my schedule on top. “ Mrs. Piers, I expect you not to be late” I nodded my head turning. I didn't want my mouth to spit out the words it wanted to but damn what a bitch. I glanced at my sheet. Locker 154. I walked the halls to locker 154 and groaned as the group of girls were standing close to it with a few jocks like it was a flirting party. I casually walked to my locker and spun the dial like I've done it before. A girl must have signaled I was there because Stacey’s high voice went off. “Oh, Amanda! Jake, Ethan this is my new friend Amanda!” friends a little bit pushing it. I swallowed my words “Hey Id love to show you around if you want, it could be fun” Jake winked and I rolled my eyes slamming my locker. “I dont think so”

I heard a chuckle as I walked away just in time for the bell to ring. I checked my schedule again. Math with Mr. Ritter. I nodded to myself and walked to his class. When I walked in everyone was already in their seats. I walked up to the teacher and he glared at me. “The bell just rang you are late,” he says accusingly. I sigh I may be new but that doesn't mean a teacher or anyone gets to walk all over me. “Why don't you just tell me where I sit..” he crossed his arms glancing at the other kids. “I’ll sit you by Mr. Anderson!” he says with fake pride. I followed his glance which was on a boy.  He was slouched in his seat with his feet on top of the desk in front of him. He had fair skin black hair that reached his shoulders and covered the side of his face along with a black shirt beat up pants and beat up shoes that looked like a dog got a hold of them. I sighed and walked towards him sitting next to him. Mr. Ritter clapped his hands and began with the speech. I could feel eyes on me from the other students. He must of done something, a square of empty desk surrounded him except for the one I was currently in. I glanced at him and I could see part of his left eye between his hair which was a bright blue. “Why are you staring at me….” My mouth dropped as I looked away “Um..your eyes..do you wear contacts?” I felt stupid for asking. He waited a moment. “Why would I have contacts ...are my eyes weird?” he asked the question so casually. “N-no there really pr-cool” He blew his bangs out of his face. “Your eyes are cool too”

“Thanks” I say. The lesson went on yet I wanted to talk more. I liked his voice it sounded like he had an accent yet not. As the lesson passed Mr. Ritter left in a rush. Everyone smirked talking now it looked like he was sick. What a coincidence. “Has he been sick?” I asked glancing at him. He looked at me with no expression. “No” was his simple reply, I nodded. Turning my head again I bit my lip. “What's your name?” I ask “Why?” I shrugged my shoulders “You know my name”  

“That wasn't by choice” ouch. I glanced away. “Right” I turned my attention back at the kids who were talking about Mr. Ritter assuming whether he was throwing up or had a stomach ache. I didn't get what was so funny about it. I opened up my binder and grabbed a piece of blank paper. “Justin” I glance at the guy again. Justin...I like it. I was about to ask what changed his mind but I decided to keep my mouth shut. Mr. Ritter didn't come back till the bell rung. Everyone left and he didn't say a word he just sat in his chair and held his head. I glanced at him and walked out of the room to my next class. I had P.E next. As I walked in a girl with Red straight hair walked up to me. “Hi! Um,   Amber uh... I'm guessing you don't have P.E clothes. Were about the same size!... I might have a pair of shorts or something for you” she came over with such confidence but she looked unsure now. I smiled “Thanks” she smiled. As Mr. Blake took attendants Amber lead me to the girl's locker room. It turns out we were about the same size she had a teal shirt for me along with a pair of black shorts and orange running shoes. “They don't really go together but that's all I got” she says with that small voice. “Aw that's ok, I’m glad I got something” I smile. She smiled. We walked out of the locker room and I noticed Justin talking to another kid. The kid had the top of his hair dyed red in a bad boy look I’m guessing. “Hey what do you no about them?” I ask. Amber turned her head. “Oh! that Justin and Parker there pretty much rebels. Rumor says that they killed a kid but there's no proof.  I don't think they killed him.. Robbie. I think everyone's got it wrong” I glance at Justin. I'm glad Amber doesn't believe those rumors. This makes Justin all the more mysterious. Once I figured we were running I felt kinda happy. “You like running to? That's good I’m pretty fast, so see if you can keep up with me”

“You're on” I say. This is the first time I've seen an indoor track I guess the thought never occurred me. I glanced at Justin just as a whistle blew. “Come on Amanda!” Amber yells I take off after her. The best part of running is when your body and lungs can take it. I ran past Amber and you could tell she was having a tough time keeping up. “Your pretty good keep going show coach what you got!” I didn't hesitate I smiled and ran faster. I ran right past a group of boys and heard their groans as they cursed the sound of shoes slapping the ground. It helped that we were not outside. “Hey! Jake is it?” I ask running by Jake he raised an eyebrow “Yea what'd you have for breakfast? You're pretty fast”

“Yup and I'm going to beat you” I pushed myself faster and I could feel him gaining on me I ran faster till I passed the finish line and collapsed on the ground Jake catching me. “Wow you good?” he asks lightly setting me on the ground. “Hey...can you get me water” I say between breaths. He jogged over to a bench and ran back with a water bottle. I opened it and started gulping it down taking breaths again. “Hey Carter nice run,” says Nick sitting by me. “Thanks” I say returning the bottle to my lips. After I drank the whole thing Jake helped me and walked me over to the benches. He sighed and smirked “look who came to actually join class serial killer and his right-hand man” I turned and saw Justin and Parker walk up. “Don't be an ass” I say standing “Come on!” I ignored walking to the fountain to fill up the water bottle. I splashed water on my face and glanced up as Justin stood by me he was taller and bigger then I
