Summer Haze

Sophie's been really annoyed with everyone lately. Can't say I blame her. We're all cooped up here together and we haven't had a single case in three months. It's weird, and it means all our energy stays bottled up.

I wouldn't mind going for a run in the forest, but it's not close enough to a full moon for me to shapeshift, since I'm still such a new wolf. So I have to just be satisfied with a short run in the area surrounding the bunker. I know Sophie's gone off far away somewhere, though, because I saw her take off at her full run earlier. No fair.

Alex says I should go with him into town later on. It'll be nice to get our around some other people. Of course, he's thinking of it as a training "mission" because I have to get accustomed to being around human beings besides the kids at the school. That's all fine and everything, but I really just want to get out of here so I'll say anything to get Alex to give me a break.

summer sucks this year

I thought I'd be able to go home for at least a little while this summer, but Alex says no. He says that we can't risk it so close to when I was bitten. I haven't had any problems yet, so I don't know what he's worried about. I guess it would be hard to explain to Mom why I suddenly want rare steak instead of tofu and rice...

Still, it's not easy being cooped up in the bunker all summer. It's weird sharing a room with a zombie who doesn't sleep. And Sophie and Thalia are gone most of the time. They're the only ones I feel even a little comfortable with, even though Thalia mostly just makes fun of me. Sophie's assured me that Thalia only makes fun of people she likes.

It'll be the full moon again soon, though, and Alex wants me to practice my shapeshifting that night. At least that's sort of interesting.
