#Chapter 59: An Even Match

Nina

By the time the first few days of the week passed, everything seemed to be back to normal.

Midterms were coming up in a few weeks, not only did I have to prepare for exams, but I also had several projects and papers to write, so I was completely swamped with classwork. It was probably a good thing, though, since I would have spent far too much time agonizing over what happened in the woods.

Why had K been so hell-bent on capturing me? He had said that he had instructions to bring me back alive… Back to who?

Whenever these thoughts came up throughout the week, I pushed them back down. I had work to focus on.

On Friday night, the hockey team had a

game; naturally, I would have to attend, although these days attending the games wasn’t so much a chore as it was enjoyable. For the first time all semester, it seemed that there was no drama — with guys, at least

Lisa was also out for the next couple of weeks, from what I heard, the dean suspended her from the cheerleading team because of the attack, although I suspected it was really from the werewolf bite. Either way, I wasn’t complaining. Her friends would always be annoying, but Lisa was worse. Not having her around, at least temporarily, was a relief.

Tiffany and I stood on the sidelines Friday night watching the game, on call in case of any injuries. Enzo scored a goal and the crowd went wild, but it had already been a tough match so far

“You seem nervous,” Tiffany said, nudging me with her elbow. I realized that I had been chewing my nails and quickly put my hands in my pockets.

“It’s a close game,” I replied, looking at the scoreboard. The score had been tied for the entire game; Enzo’s last goal only put our team ahead by one point.

Tiffany nodded. “This team is usually easy for them. But that captain is new… He’s really good. Much better than the last one.”
