Oh, neat thread ^_^

Lyla House is starting her first year of High School. Though, unfortunately, she’s quiet unenthusiastic about it. Then again, one must consider her, well, most unique defect. Lyla, like her parents, are were-wolves. Lyla had previously attended Briarwood, a small, very private school, with kids much like herself. Lyla would have gone back to Briarwood Academy, had she not enraged the principle the past year and gotten herself expelled for bad behavior. With expulsion behind her, Lyla had to move into the open. It didn’t thrill her parents and it thrilled her even less. The rebellious red-head was keen on keeping to herself, but fate wouldn’t have it that way. Lylas first day has her thrown into a much more social, fast flowing life than the cold stones and routine of Briarwood. Lyla successfully alienates herself from the rest of the school when she defends a child prodigy, Kip, from a group of bullies. Her animalistic bluffs and growls don’t sit well with the bullies. Lyla may have scared them off, but her actions would have rumors spreading within days. Kip, who is unafraid of her oddity, quickly becomes her first friend. He introduces her to Eirainne, his sister and only other friend in the school. Together the trio try and navigate the social cliques without being eaten alive. Lyla joins the cross-country team, much to every ones distaste, where she quickly becomes the swiftest athlete on the team. This just gives the other girls another reason to hate her – she’s weird and better than them. On the end of her practice runs one day, Lyla stops in a secluded forest area and shifts into her wolf form to take a swim. She was supposed to meet Eirainne and Kip there later in the day, to fish. Kip and Eirainne arrive early and witness Lyla as she shifts back to her human self. Both are shocked and Lyla is embaresssed – but none run away. Kip, very shaken, tries to approach the situation scientifically. Eirainne, being the fantasy buff she was, is over-joyed that her best friend is a werewolf in disguise. Eirainne wants Lyla to bite her, so she can be one too – but Lyla has to explain that it doesn’t work that way, you have to be born one from at least one werewolf parent. Eirainne is simply beside herself with excitement at learning there are more people like Lyla.

Erm...that idea kinda ran away when I started typing In short, its a four part series that follow Lyla and her two friends through their highschool career. It's meant for the younger readers, mid-grade catagory, perhaps YA, I haven't actually written anything about it yet.
