The first thing I awoke to was a phone call, immediately jolting me up with a panic.
Breathing rapidly I absently looked around myself in confusion, memories of a life that I did not live quickly sifting into my head.
I frowned as I stared at the multiple teenagers all around me, all inside a bus.
And as the memories finally reached a conclusion I couldn't help but curse.
" Fuck!" I muttered, calming myself down using the multiple techniques that Everett knew.
Blinking away the panick I then looked back at 'my' phone.
It was 'my' father.
I did not want to deal with that shit right now so I declined and put the phone on silent.
Breathing even more I looked around again, staring at the other side of the bus and right then and there was a blaze of fire.
It burnt through the forest like a slowly descending hellscape.
I shunned down the multiple chatter around me, all the kids being nervous just as I was but for a different reason.
I had been fucking shunted into the Wolf Pack Universe.
As fucking Everett no less.
What made this worse was the fact that I had watched only a few episodes of the show, but after finding out that it had been cancelled with only one season I kinda didn't want to finish it.
Not wanting to be hung on a cliffhanger like the many times net-flix had already hung me on so many series I had liked.
The information and knowledge that I did know of the series though was... lackluster, already having been degraded as I didn't put too much importance to it.
See how that has come to bite my ass now huh?
Groaning into my open palms I blinked as I looked around the bus, easily finding the girl that I was looking for Blake.
The girl looked pretty, even with the acne scars that she tried hiding beneath her hair and hoodie.
If all things went out as in the series then she would be bit today by a werewolf, Everett in the Canon timeline was bit too.
But seeing as I have already changed a lot of things, me getting bit didn't seem like something that was gonna happen.
So that meant that I had to actively try to and get bitten to increase my chances.
And what better way then to stay as close as possible to Blake?
Hopefully I wouldn't fuck up causing her not to be bit too.
But I was already way too deep into this shit already by being a part of this universe, alongside taking over the body of Everett.
So breathing in once more I stood up, walked up to the girl who sat alone seemingly wanting to be ignored.
Sitting besides her earned a jolt out of her.
She looked at me with a raised brow, dissatisfied at not being left alone as she probably wanted.
" What do you want?" She asked gruffly.
" Nothing." I lied." But seeing as we're the only two people in this bus sitting alone, I thought we might as well keep each other company."
At those words her frown furthered, looking me from up to down with a grumble in her throat.
" I'm sitting alone because I don't want company." She retorted, shifting uncomfortably in her sit.
" Hey, now. I don't think sitting alone in our situation is the best, already I'm getting the jitters from the fire and I don't like it."
" Jitters?" She muttered beneath her breath, seemingly taken aback." You're getting the jitters in the middle of a wildfire?"
" We all have our quirks, mine is that I feel cold when it's hot and vice versa." I again lied, mostly trying to reel her into a conversation.
She again looked taken aback by my comment, something that I had hoped for as I had taken her own saying from the one snippet of the first episode I remembered and made it mine.
And it seemed that it worked, seeing as her frown lightened and she scoffed at me with just a tiny bit of a raise in her lips.
" Whatever." She said looking back at the window, looking straight to the wildfire.
And I took that as a win, seeing as she didn't immediately ask me to leave me alone which I was sure she would have done from the small amount of information I had of her.
So we sat there, her looking at the flames and me looking through my phone in contemplation, already mapping out what I wanted to do with this second chance at life.
I knew that I wouldn't be able to return back to my old one, and hoping this was a dream was plainly stupid. So I was left with Jo choice but to improvise, improve and adapt.
" Blake." I heard besides me breaking me out if my daze.
Blinking in confusion a bit I looked back at Blake, a bit confused."What?"
" My name, It's Blake." She said staring right at me.
I had to hold down a smile as she told me her name.
" Everett." I said back after a few seconds, holding out my hand out to her.
She looked at it for a moment before nodding, grabbing it and giving me a short and curt shake.
Then again we were left in the silence, but I didn't mind, I was adapting to my situation as best as possible after all.
So of course it was no wonder that immediately a screen suddenly appeared before me out if the blue, almost causing me to jump out the sit in fright.
[—Ding! Achievements - Made an Impression on Blake!
—Reward - 1 Random Roll Chance.]
[—Ding! You've obtained your first Roll! Would you like to use it?]
' Huh? What the fuck?' Was all that crossed my mind as I stared at the screen.
I quickly realised through what this was.
How couldn't I when I had consumed any and as much media as I possibly could in my last life.
I had a fucking System as my cheat!
