self-centered bitch ruin
her day.
    “Look that was my fault. I’m supposed to text him
when I leave so he can be near me. I didn’t text him. He couldn’t watch me
twenty-four hours a day and I knew the drill, but I wanted to feel alive and go
by myself, but you see what happened. Those damn she bitches have radar when
I’m alone.”  Zoey stopped talking when the music started playing and the Dean
of the College stood up to start the ceremonies.
    London couldn’t concentrate on the graduation. They
investigated her and she didn’t even know it. I guess it’s not that bad
since the Landon Computer Company investigated me too. So get over it,
London chastised herself. Jerking out of her thoughts, Zoey was pulling her up
so they could receive their diplomas.
    “It went by so quickly,” London remarked as the
ceremony ended. They walked to the bathrooms where they had stored their
clothes for after graduation.
    “Come on let’s go change so we can go drink and eat.” 
Zoey’s excitement was a little contagious when she pulled on London’s arm
dragging her toward the bathrooms. Today was to be a fun day, one that they
would always remember.
    Zoey was so excited to see her family she broke the
sound barrier. London continued to watch her as she combed her hair.
    “Come on girl. Get the lead out,” Zoey joked. London
just smiled as she put the brush back in her bag.
    “I’ll be out there in a minute. Go ahead. You have a
lot of people to hug,” said London.
    “Okay. See you in a minute.” Zoey ran out the door.
    London was nervous about meeting Zoey’s family. She
heard the cheers as the doors opened. Apparently, they were important people,
and she was just plain white trash. Even werewolves have a hierarchy. When they
met her grandmother, they would know that for sure.  London wanted to flush her
head in the toilet. Her grandmother was a good woman and she loved her. Never
had she been embarrassed by her, but for some reason she didn’t want to go to
dinner with all of them. Something made her nervous about them or was it just
meeting a lot of people at one time. Zoey always had a lot of cash on her. She had one of those black credit cards that meant
that she came from money. Over the summer, Zoey didn’t have to work. Why she
didn’t see this earlier was beyond her.
    Staring at herself in the mirror, London didn’t like
the way she was feeling. “How pathetic can you be, London? You’re not white
trash, and just because you don’t have their kind of money, it doesn’t mean
you’re beneath them. What is wrong with you?”
    It was finally starting to hit her that she had a new
job and new home. For some reason she felt desperate to prove herself and show
that she could be successful. It was very scary too. Where is this doubt
coming from? You’re just as good as anyone. Not now , London told herself as
she grasped the edge of the sink. Panic attack! London gasped for air .
Please, not now, please. London could feel it coming on. She hadn’t had one
since her parents were killed.
    Reaching down she splashed cold water on her face,
feeling like she was going to pass out. She held onto the sink as she fell into
the chair. Grasping her head, London groaned as the pain filtered across her
face.
    She didn’t know how long she was in the bathroom,
but the next thing she could feel was a cold rag being placed across her
forehead. London could hear the faint hum from the air conditioner. Then the
feeling that something was wrong made her open her eyes.
    “What happened?” London slurred as she opened her
eyes to her grandmother rubbing her face with the cold rag. London looked
around and found Zoey was holding her hand.
    “You passed out. I came to check on you when you
didn’t come out and I found you like this on the floor. I ran outside and got
your grandmother.” Zoey looked worried as she rubbed small circles across
London’s hand.
    “Sorry.” London looked up into her grandmother’s
violet
