CHAPTER 3

We got to school 20 mins later. As we got out of the car, the students outside looked at us, well the guys and some girls stared while the other girls glared at the five of us. Ignoring the stares we were getting, we walked into the school and headed straight to the office.

"Glad that's over. I hate it when you're the new person in school. All those stares and glares." Carissa said as we approached the secretary's desk.

"Tell me about it." Kara muttered. The secretary looked up at us.

"Can I help you, girls?" She asked, politely.

"Yes, we're here for our schedules and locker info." Elissa answered for us.

"Ah, yes. The Williams and West girls, am I right?" The secretary asked.

"Yes, ma'am." Korra answered.

"Oh, call me Stella, dearling. By the way, the principal to see the Williams before you go to class. I'll have your schedules and locker information printed out for when you return. Carissa and Elissa can sit on the couch there and wait till you get back." We nodded. My sisters and I went into the principal's office while Carissa and Elissa waited for us. The principal turned out to be the alpha of the pack we were staying in. He welcomed us to school and told us he'd have his daughter come to escort us to class. As if on cue, someone knocked on his door immediately he finished his sentence and in entered a beautiful blonde who looked a bit like her father.

"Dad, Stella said you wanted to see me." The blonde said. "Ah, there you are. Girls, this is my daughter and student aide, Nicola. Nicola is also in senior year. She'll help you find your way around. Now that is all."

"Thank you." Kara said. We then left his office, joining Carissa and Elissa in the outer office where the secretary was. Stella handed us our schedules and locker info then we followed Nicola out of the office. She turned around to face us making us stand right in front of the office.

"Ok, so I know my dad already mentioned my name but let me introduce myself properly. My name is Nicola Mendez. You can call me Nicki or Nico as my brother calls me. Welcome to Pali High." Nicola said.

"Thanks. I'm Kiara. And these are my sisters and cousins, Kara, Korra, Carissa and Elissa." I introduced, pointing each of us out as I mentioned our names.

"Oh, so you're the wolves dad said would be staying with us till the end of senior year." She said.

"Yeah." I answered.

"Cool. Let me just say, I love your outfits, totes adorbs." Nicola fangirled.

"Thanks." Kara said with a smile.

"Come on, let's get you to your lockers. What are your locker numbers?" Nicki asked.

"Mine's 250." Carissa said.

"Mine's 254." Korra said.

"Mine's 252." Kara said.

"That means I'm between Korra and Kara. My locker number is 253." Elissa informed.

"Meaning you have locker 251, Kiara. That's cool. You have lockers next to each other. And Kiara, your locker is directly opposite my brother's, my twin actually. Anyway, let's get you to your lockers then get you to class. (She led us to the locker hallway, where we received more glares and stares.) Ignore the stares and glares. They're either jealous or in awe of you. So what classes do you have first?" Nicola asked. We had reached our lockers.

"Carissa and I have English first." Kara said. Elissa opened her locker and placed some books inside. Korra did same.

"I have A.P. Biology." Korra said.

"Me too." Elissa and I said.

"Wow. Lucky for Carissa and Kara I have English too but I can show you the way before I come for class. Just out of curiosity, how many A.P. classes are you guys taking?" Nicola asked.

"2." Korra answered.

"Biology and Chemistry." Kara added. Carissa and Elissa nodded to agree.

"I'm taking 3. Those you just mentioned plus Physics." I said. Nicola turned to look at me in surprise and gaped.

"3? And all science courses. Is that even possible?" She asked.

"Yep. Back home she used to take 5 A.P. classes." Kara said.

"Yeah. She has a GPA of 5.8." Elissa added. Nicki continued to gape at me.

"Come on, girls. I don't think Nicki can take any more shocks." I said with a chuckle.

"Girl, you damn smart. Even the smartest girl in our school can't take 5 A.P. classes and has a GPA of 5.5. I'll be bringing all my homework to you help me solve." Nicola said.

"Sure." I said with a smile. Just then the bell for class rang.

"Oh, we better get you to class." Nicki said. She led me, Elissa and Korra to our A.P. Biology class then went off to hers. Coincidentally, Elissa, Korra and I got to be lab partners since it was 3 students per slab. The teacher, a blonde lady who looked to be in her 30s came in a minute later.

"Looks like we have 3 new students, Kiara, Elissa and Korra, right? Well I'm sure your classmates can get to know later after class. But I'm Ms. Alexia Allen. Now on with today's lesson. Can anyone jog our memory of our last lesson last week so our new girls can see if they can catch up?" The teacher said. And so the class began.

Kara's P.O.V

English was finally over. I was almost falling asleep. I sighed relief when the bell went off. The teacher was boring plus I already knew all the stuff she was teaching. I got up and grabbed my bag. I had Math next but Carissa had Economics which Nicola had with her but she offered to show me where the class is since it's on their way to their class. I entered the Math class and easily spotted Kiara talking to some dark-haired girl. I went over to where she was and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Hey." She said when she turned and saw me.

"Hey. So who's your new friend?" I asked.

"Oh, this is Raelynn Simmons, she was in my Biology class. She's also in a Shadow pack wolf. Rae, this is my sister, Kara." Kiara introduced.

"Hi." I said.

"Hi. Wow. You guys look so alike. So cool. Bet you used to play tricks on people back home." Raelynn said.

"Oh yeah, totally." I said.

"Hey, so what pack are you from?" Raelynn asked.

"Malraux Pack." Kiara lied. It was what we had been told to say if anybody asked us this kind of question.

"Nice. Isn't that the pack that resides next to the royal family?"

"Yep."

"Alright, class. Settle down. Settle down. (The teacher said as he entered the classroom. I sat down in the seat next to Kiara.) I heard we have two new students in this class, can I see them? (Kiara and I stood up.) Well, introduce yourselves."

"I'm Kara Williams."

"And I'm Kiara Williams."

"Sisters, wonderful. Well, quite unfortunately for you two, I'm about to conduct a pop quiz. It's also perfect because it will let me know just how much you know about the topic we're treating. Oh, and by the way my name is Mr. Alan Deaton." He then started giving out the test papers. Kiara and I smirked at each other when we saw the questions on the test papers he had given us. We took out our writing materials and started working as soon as he said start working and finished before everyone else. We decided to wait till everyone to finish as well so it would not be as if we were showing off then we handed in our papers when the teacher said to stop working.

After 3 more classes, it was finally time for lunch. Nicola found the five of us at our lockers and dragged us to the cafeteria and to a table where her friends were seated.

"Hey, guys." Nicola said as we took our seats by each other while she sat between two of her friends.

"Hey. So Nicki, who are your friends?" A blond guy who looked somewhat like Nicola. I'm guessing that's the twin brother she mentioned.

"Oh, guys, meet Carissa, Korra, Kara, Kiara and Elissa." Nicki said, pointing us out as she mentioned our names.

"Hi." The five of us said. Nicola then got up and went to the counter to get us something to eat.

"So you're the ones Dad said would be staying with us till the school year is over. By the way, I'm Nicholas, Nico's twin brother. You can call me Nick." The blond guy said.

"Moving on, I'm Arthur Raymond. These are Candice Hart, Caitlin De Rosa and Marina and Toby Montgomery." A dark haired guy said, pointing to two brunettes, a strawberry blonde and another dark haired guy.

"Hey." My sisters and I said simultaneously. Just then, Nicki came back with the food. Apparently the kitchen was serving chicken and turkey wraps and Nicki got us two wraps each, one chicken, one turkey. We thanked her and started eating. As we ate, the five of us answered the questions they had for us, telling some truths and lies till lunch was over and we had to go to our next classes.

It was now time for the last class of the day, gym class where the five of us got to be in the same class. Coincidentally, all the werewolves in the school were in this class as well. Unfortunately neither of us remembered to bring gym clothes but fortunately Nicola, Raelynn and the other girls we met at their lunch table had spare gym clothes and shoes in their lockers in the girls' locker room and lent them to us, coincidentally they also had gym as well. We got to the gym and found the teacher waiting for us. According to Raelynn, her name was Ms. Layla Correa and she was the toughest teacher in the school.

"Alright class, today instead actual P.E, we're gonna do a little sparring. So I'm gonna call out any two names and have you spar, it could be two girls or boys or a boy and a girl. So everyone to the bleachers till I call out your name except for the Williams. According to the principal, when I mentioned to him that today we'd be sparring, I was told you three could wipe the floors with anyone if you're allowed to spar." My sisters and I sighed and shrugged and were about to go sit elsewhere when Nicholas stood up to protest.

"Ms. Correa, that's unfair. If that's the case then I should be excluded as well because no one has been able beat me. Besides how do we know my dad wasn't just saying that because they can't spar? I think they should still be included in this sparring exercise whether they can spar or not. Or what so you all think?" HHHe asked his classmates. Poor boy doesn't know his dad and Ms. Correa were actually trying to save him from humiliation and from being hurt. And his classmates also not knowing this fact, agreed with him. Ms. Correa looked at us with a mischievous smirk which we returned and nodded.

"Alright, Mr. Mendez. Girls, you are as of now included. And since this is the last class of the day, it can be extended till we're done here. Ok, now you can only bruise a bit and maybe break a bone or two but nothing serious, am I clear? Alright, first up, let's have our little protester, Nicholas (the guys cheered for him) and Kiara." Kiara smirked as she got up to go. I felt sorry for Nick but I couldn't help but smirk a bit evilly since he was gonna get his ass kicked. Ms. Correa took some steps away then whole gym grew quiet in anticipation for what was about happen.

Kiara's P.O.V.

Nick and I got into fight stances as we waited for Ms. Correa's signal.

"Don't worry, I'll go easy on you." Nick said with a smug smile. The boys cheered when they heard that.

"Oh, don't hold back on my account, darling. I want to see what you got unless what you got nothing like a new pup learning how to fight." I said loud enough for everyone to hear. A lot of 'ooooooh's were heard. Nick chuckled.

"Oh, it's totally on. Don't blame me if you get hurt. I did offer you a way out." I only smirked when he said that.

"Ready? Go." Miss Correa yelled. I signaled at Nick with two fingers to come at me. He threw the first punch which I evaded. Then he tried to kick me which I also evaded. This 'hit and evade' game went on for about two minutes, then I got bored and decided to get into the offensive mode. I started hitting and kicking back faster than he could anticipate and I hadn't even tapped into my full strength and speed. Another two minutes later, Nick was down with a bloody nose, a broken jaw and 2 broken ribs. The girls cheered and clapped for me. Ms. Correa also clapped for me then crouched to Nick's level.

"You alright there, Nick? How many fingers am I holding up?" She asked as she held up 2 fingers.

"Six?" Nick said then he groaned.

"Looks like you hit him a little too hard. (Ms. Correa chuckled.) Can you help him get over to the other side of the bleachers so he can rest and heal up? I'm pretty sure no one would want to spar with you after this except maybe your sisters and cousins." She said.

"Of course." I helped Nick up and walked with him to the other side of the bleachers in the gym as Ms. Correa called out two other people to spar.

"You fight well. Where did you learn how to fight like that?" Nick asked when we were seated at the other side of the bleachers.

"My dad taught me. He taught all of us, me, Kara, Korra, Elissa and Carissa so we could be prepared for anything. He was the best fighter back home and was undefeated till he taught me everything he knows, then I defeated him."

"And when was that?"

"When I was 11."

"What?!" He had a shocked look on his face.

"Yep. My dad started training us when my sisters and I were 6 and Carissa and Elissa when they turned 8. And now I'm the best fighter and the undefeated one. Not even my sisters can beat me."

"So my dad wasn't joking when he said you girls could wipe the floors with us. Wish I knew that then, then I wouldn't have been humiliated for being beaten by a girl. I think my manliness just went down the drain." We both chuckled. I noticed that he was no longer in pain from his ribs.

"I guess you're all healed up. (He raised a questioning eyebrow.) I noticed you didn't wince when you chuckled. And don't tell me you were holding in the pain, I would know if you were." He looked at me amused. We then turned our attention back to what was going on. An hour later, everyone had participated in the exercise.

"Wow, I thought it would take longer. Clearly we have to do this more often to up your fighting skills. So Kara, Korra, either of you willing to take on your big sis in one more sparring match? We still have like 20 minutes to spare before school is over."

"No way, Ms. Correa. We wouldn't last a minute against her." Korra said. I chuckled at that.

"Yeah, she's the best fighter back home and remains undefeated till now. We're only second to her. Believe us, we've sparred against her before and we lost." Kara added, backing Korra up.

"That's too bad. Anyone else?" Ms. Correa asked.

"We would like to spar against her." A guy with black hair said coming forward with his friend. I think their names were Aiden and Derek.

"Are you two sure you want to take on her on?" Ms. Correa asked them.

"Please, Ms. Correa. We're the best fighters in our pack, the Crescent Pack. She can't take us both on." Aiden said smugly.

"Ok, Kiara? (I nodded at Ms. Correa to accept the challenge.) Then let's all back up and give 'em space. Ready? (I got into position and in a fight stance.) Fight." The boys threw the first punches. I went into offensive mode immediately. One minute later, both boys were down with 3 broken ribs, split lips, black eyes, bloody noses and broken jaws each.

"I was expecting them to put up more of a fight with the way they were boasting but then again like they say, empty barrels make the most noise." Korra said.

"So I'm guessing no one's gonna try and spar with you again. (All the students shook their heads with wide eyes at the damage I had done to both boys.) Ok then, class dismissed." We headed to the locker rooms and showered then changed back into our clothes. We stopped by our lockers where Korra and Elissa grabbed some stuff and put some stuff in. Before we could leave, 3 girls showed up and got in our way. They had skimpy clothes and more makeup on than a clown and that was an insult to clowns.

"Well, if it isn't the new girls. My sources tell me that you (she pointed at me) made a move on my guy today in gym class." The one in front said.

"And what do they call you?" I asked.

"Who am I? I'm surprised you haven't heard of me around. Did no one mention who I am? I'm sort of a big deal around here." I pretended to think for a minute.

"No, I don't think anyone made mention to me about a girl in slut clothes and with way too much make up on. What about you girls, did anyone mention anything?" My sisters and 'cousins' shook their heads.

"No."

"Nope."

"Not a thing." I turned back to the fake Barbie in front of me and gave her a fake smile.

"Sorry, looks like you're not much of a big deal if no one's mentioned you."

"Well, then I'm going to let all that slide because clearly you don't know what's what and who's who in this school. My name is Brittany Daniels, daughter of Alpha Zachary Daniels of Dark Ridge Pack. These are Brooke and Chelsea. (She pointed to her sidekicks behind her.) Now I'm gonna let you off with a little warning. Stay away from Nicholas Mendez or I will make your life a living hell here. Got it?" I looked at her unimpressed. I noticed that everyone in the hallway had stopped to watch the exchange. I gave Brittany a fake smile.

"Got it. Now let me give you a little warning of my own. Try to threaten me like this again or any of my sisters or cousins or friends, and I'll make your life more miserable than it already is not just here but anywhere. And don't even think about laying your hands on any of them just because you can't touch me. So watch yourself Daniels, wouldn't want to scar up that beautiful skin. You'd have to like me for it and I don't want you to like me." I said in a saccharine sweet deadly calm quiet voice. I then stepped around her and her cohorts and walked to the parking lot with the girls right behind me, leaving Brittany to glare at my back. When we got to the car, I heard Nicki and Raelynn calling for us. I turned as they approached us. I dropped my bag in the car and leaned against the open car door when they got to where we were.

"Hey, so I heard that Brittany Daniels and her sidekicks cornered you and told you to stay away from my twin." Nicki said.

"And you first insulted her then went all dark lady on her when she tried to threaten you." Raelynn added.

"Yep, that's what happened. We don't take crap from anyone." Kara said.

"Least of all, a clown with way too much make up on and less clothes on then a hooker." Carissa added.

"Well, just watch your backs, ok? That girl and her people are snakes. Her dad is the alpha of Dark Ridge pack and those people do not play nice." Raelynn warned.

"We will. We gotta get home, our aunt is waiting for us. We'll see you tomorrow, Ok." Elissa said. They nodded and said goodbye, then went back inside the school. We got into the car and I drove us home.
