“Yeah, like you said, he's a douchebag. I don't think I want to waste my time with high school guys anyway,” Amelia says.

“University guys?” I ask.

“No... it's just I've been thinking once I turn eighteen I'm officially an adult. I'm thinking of getting a sugar daddy, especially while I'm at university.”

“Woah, you sure?”

I'm surprised. A sugar daddy is a little extreme but I don't know.

“Apparently some girls have good arrangements with sugar daddies. There are a lot of pros to it.”

“You'll have to do sexual favours for an old man.”

“The older the more experienced, right?” She shrugs her shoulders. I stare at her with unease and she laughs.

“As long as you're safe.” I give her a slight hug, not wanting my friend to get hurt.

“I will be.”

“Lora.” Dennis walks over. This can't be good.

“I told you it's Elora,” I remind him.

“Want to catch a movie with me tonight?” Dennis is charming but he's charming with every girl. I can't date him... Wait. Why? I've planned that I'll be with a human partner in my future. Dating guys now would just be extra experience and maybe a little fun in my life. I look to Amelia for advice and she just shrugs. So much for advice.

“Yeah, um, don't expect anything, though,” I warn.

“I'll let you kiss me first.” He grins.

“Aren't you confident?” Amelia remarks.

“What do you say?”

“I'll agree to that,” I say.

“Where do you live? I'll pick you up.”

“Actually, I'll meet you at the movies,” I quickly say. I can't have a human coming into the werewolf residential community.

“Okay, see you at seven.” He walks off.

“You have a date,” Amelia states.

“Yeah.”

“How... how will you take your clothes off... given your bruises?” she asks quietly.

“I'm not going to sleep with him. I just figure a date could be fun,” I tell her. He will not see my body. Maybe some leg since I'll dress up in something nice, but that's it.

Chapter Seven

I've just finished getting ready for my date with Dennis. I've chosen a black and grey sweater dress. It's tight which shows a nice figure, has a ribbed turtleneck so my chest is completely covered and long sleeves. It goes to above my knees. The dress could pass for an office work dress but I feel comfortable in it so I don't care if it's not date attire. Besides, it covers any bruises or blemishes I have on my skin. I can't remember the last time I wore a dress. I bought this dress for a school event last year. I pair it with some low heels to complete my outfit. As for makeup, I don't own a lot. I really only use concealer to cover up my dark eyes and a little powder foundation to make myself look presentable.

Grabbing my purse, I head down the hallway. As unlucky as I am, I see Kieryn in the living room. He looks up at me in disgust.

“Don't tell me you have a date.” He looks me up and down. “What guy would want you?”

“You're never going to be with a woman,” I spit at him, not letting him ruin my night.
