Wolf Hearts

It was Monday now, Sally left me yesterday when it was very early in the morning. She told me she couldn't come out, she had to take care of her dad or something, I asked her if she was going to school and she told me she was going to the high school for advanced classes. So, for the third time since I met her, I was standing out in the hallway waiting for her, the door opened and out she came, today her hair was in a messy bun, tied together with a blue bow, which matched her blue button-up shirt and her blue jeans, Sally had a big smile on her face as soon as she saw me waiting for her.
"Hi Frank"
"Hi Sally"
We walked down the hall, talking about stuff that didn't really matter, but none the less was entertaining to talk about. We walked past the drug store, towards the bus stop, placing our book bags down by the bus sign.
"I thought you said the school was only a block away?" She queried
"It is" I replied
"Then why are we riding the bus? Can't we just walk?"
"No, we can't walk, that bully, the Mikey guy, as long as he doesn't know I walk home, the better off I'll be"
"I see, I guess that makes sense, but eventually you're going to have to fight back"
"And I will, but until then, I'm avoiding pain as much as possible"
She nodded and turned her head in the direction of the oncoming bus, I noticed she was tapping her foot as quickly as humanly possible. When I asked her about it, she said she was nervous, that's when the bus pulled up in front of us, she was still doing little nervous ticks, I don't know why, but I grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze. It seemed to calm her down a great deal, as we walked towards the back of the bus and sat down, I noticed a red splotch on the corner of Sally's mouth, it was still very wet
"Sally, you've got some red stuff right there" I whispered pointing to it
She wiped all of it off and looked at it, she got very pale as she sniffed it. Sally looked around, before compromising and licking it off her finger
"What was that?" I asked
"It was blood"
"Yours?"
She was silent for a while before nodding, it was her blood. I asked her if anything happened with her and her dad, she shook her head, but her eyes were away from me.
"Is that, our school?"
"Yeah, it's a little big, but that's only for the gym and the pool"
"Oh, that's good"
The bus screeched to a stop and everyone started clambering out of the little door. Sally and I were the last two to get off, Ms. Love, the old lady, waved at us as we embarked towards the school. I mean, it was only polite to wave back. I think Sally had calmed down a great deal as we walked through the double doors, she was used to crowds, just not big buildings. In fact, she was very excited to see all these people, I showed Sally her locker and how to open it and found out that she and I shared the same classes. We walked to our first class, talking about anything we could think of, for example, she hates the color red because it makes her think of blood and violence. I noticed how much I liked coming to school with her and doing things normal people do, I mean normal people with friends of course, and at first the whole day seemed as though it would be perfect. That was until Gym rolled around, Sally went into the Girls' locker room and I went to the Boys', I was in such a giddy mood, I didn't even realize Ray, Bob, and Mikey were all giving me looks that could kill until I was at my locker, there was still other guys in here, but they were dwindling away as the seconds ticked by. I shoved my non-swim clothes into my locker as fast as I could, grabbed my towel and tried to blend in with the last group that was leaving, being the shortest person in the school, I figured they wouldn't notice me striding by these guys' hips. I felt two hands on my shoulders pulling me back towards the locker room, I gulped as the hands spun me towards the three grinning boys, I'm so dead.
**************************SALLY'S POV****************************
So far I was enjoying school, there was nothing that provoked Her to rear her ugly head. Then my ears pricked up as one of the girls hissed
"Shit, my period started"
My nose picked up the scent of tissue and blood, She was starting to drool and I heard Her begging to eat the poor girl alive. I shoved my non-swim clothes in my locker and ran towards the bathroom stalls, I locked myself in one of them and hugged my knees to my chest
"Calm down, calm down, please just calm down, I promise you can eat later, just not now, not her, not at school" I whispered to myself, I know She wanted to eat so desperately but the day was almost over and I survived it.
"Two hours, Alice. Just two hours without human meat, alright"
Alice calmed down and I was able to leave the stall, pass the girl with her period, and go into the pool room. I stood close to the entrance to the boys' locker room, I didn't see Frank anywhere, as the time slipped towards the beginning of the hour, I asked the teacher, who's name was Mr. Fuentes, if I could go tell the boys in the locker room that they were about to be late.
"No, I can't let a girl go in there, they could be underdressed"
"I'm a lesbian"
"Oh, then go right ahead"
Inwardly, I gave myself a pat on the back for thinking of that so quickly. The more I walked into the locker room, the more I heard muffled screams and maniacal chuckling, I lay against the wall and listen to the conversation
"Mikey, we should probably go, it's almost time for class" says a masculine voice
"Shut up, I can bribe the coach into 'forgetting it ever happened' so hold him down!" The one I'm assuming is Mikey snarled
I let my eyes snake around the corner, so I could see the situation. Three teens, two beefy guys and one scrawny guy, one of the beefcakes were holding Frank down and the other was keeping a rag in Frank's mouth, the scrawny guy was whipping Frank across the back. I pulled my head behind the wall and calculated what I was going to do. Three people and I have to stop myself from tearing them apart.
