Filed to story: Gavin Landry and Judy Werewolf Story
If only everyone around here knew that you almost slept with him, Nan chuckled, shoving me playfully.
They would lose their minds ! They will never know, I told her, shaking my head.
I dont want to be on their hit list.
Hey, Judy, a friend of mine, Water, said as he paused beside Nan.
Walter was a sweet guy that I befriended in high school.
He is also one of the top students and a candidate for the scholarship.
Unlike Carol, Walter had always been a friendly competitor.
He gave me a broad and toothy smile, making Nan smirk.
I heard about your familys financial problems, Walter went right into saying, making me frown immediately.
This was not the topic I wanted to discuss, and I had to bite my tongue before I said something I would regret.
Im really sorry thats happening.
Thank you, Walter, I said, keeping a plastered smile on my face.
Thats kind of you to say.
As you know, my family has a lot of money.
If this scholarship doesnt work out, you should let me pay for your schooling.
That way you can save whatever money you have to help your father, he suggested.
Nan chuckled and nudged Walter with her arm.
Do you have a crush on her or something, Walter? What kind of offer is that? Sheasked teasingly.
Walters cheeks turned red, and he glanced at the ground.
To save him from further embarrassment, I stepped closer to him and put a hand on his shoulder, drawing his attention back to me.
Thats very kind of you to offer, Walter.
But its quite alright.
Ill be fine.
Thank you though, I told him.
He smiled and nodded in return.
Im going to find my seat, Walter said.
I think I sit next to you.
Ill see you up there, 1 told him.
He nodded and walked past me, towards the stage.
Nan laughed again, shaking her head as she watched Walter walk away.
That boy has got it bad, she teased.
Nan, no he doesnt, I retorted.
Walter is just a friend.
You might think so, but hes had a crush on you for a long time, she replied.
Someday, youll see exactly what I mean.
I stared after Walter with a frown ; he was a good looking gay with his shaggy brown hair and nicely built frame.
He always wore nice clothing, and I had to admit that he smelled nice because of the expensive cologne he wore.
But to be honest, I wasnt into Walter in that kind of way.
Ladies, the ceremony is getting started.
Please find your seats, one of the professors said as she walked by.
Nan hugged me tightly.
Good luck, Judy.
Ill be here rooting for you.
I smiled and hugged her back.
I quickly made my way to the back of the stage and sat with the other candidates.
Carol snarled at me, but I acted as if I hadnt noticed.
My eyes instinctively found Gavins who was sitting in the front row, and I was shocked to find that he was watching me.
My cheeks immediately warmed, and I had to look away quickly before I combusted, The dean stood up on the stage and began his speech in the microphone ; the students and guests were immediately silenced.
The dean started off by introducing himself and the reason behind the award ceremony.
Then, he turned his attention to us, and he introduced each of the candidates by name, followed by their majors.
We each stood upon hearing our names and the students all clapped and cheered for each of us.
When he reached my name, I could hear Nan screaming towards the back of the room and I smiled as I felt my cheeks warming.
I could still feel Gavins eyes on me as I took my seat.
It was a nice event ; the band students played a couple of songs, as did the chorus students.
Former top students who had won the award in previous years were there to give a speech and congratulate us as well.
The dean felt it was even appropriate to introduce Gavin as well considering he was a Lycan, and this was the first time he had attended this award ceremony, He stood and waved at the students who cheered and gushed over him.
The she wolves practically fell at his feet.
Then, it was finally time for the dean to announce the winner of this years top student award along with the scholarship award.
The winner of this years award goes to ….
He said as he opened the envelope.
He smiled thoughtfully when he read the name and then turned to look at us.
Judy Montague ! The audience went wild as my heart leaped into my throat.could hardly believe this was happening ! I won the scholarship ! That meant I wasnt going to have to worry about school and making loan payments next year because I got a scholarship ! My eyes found Nans who was hopping up and down and clapping the loudest.
My smile was wide as I stood to my feet.
Gavin was watching me with a perplexed look on his face and I hated not knowing what he was thinking.
