Relationships (they are such a pain!)

   What if you lived in Minnesota near the woods where you are watched by a wolf when you go outside? What if you feel that yellow-eyed wolf is somehow "special"? Will you try to befriend it even though you know wolves are a vicious specie?
   Well, I started reading this book called Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater and its about this girl named Grace who lives in Minnesota and for the last six years she has been watching a yellow-eyed wolf which seemed to stand out from its pack and who watches her back. And once when she was taken by the wolf pack, deeper into the forest the wolf, her wolf, saved her from being wolf food. And, Grace knows that the wolves are actually werewolves so after knowing that, she gets much more closer with that special wolf.
   I think later Grace will meet the wolf in his human form and she would fall in love with him. Because now in wolf form the boy, Sam, feels very close to her and for the first time in six years, he had let her touch his fur and even when the she-wolf of Sam's pack tried to attack Grace, Sam actually protected her which is a very unusual behavior for a wolf. This shows that Sam has feelings for Grace. I think Grace likes Sam as a wolf because she always tries to get close to him and she doesn't want to go in a trip with her best friend's family just because she will miss her wolf and they will be very far from each other. This just shows that if they met each other in human form, they will start loving each other and their feeling for each other will deepen which is very sweet.    
   I really don't have a connection to this theory but I can relate to the fact that sometimes Grace feels like her bonds with her two beat friend's, Rachel and Olivia, are getting weak and she finds it hard to be friends with them. I feel the same way sometimes with my two best friends, Aishwarya and Tanzima because sometimes I feel like we are getting less close and other times I feel like I am not spending too much time with one of my BF's. I try to do my best to do fun things together like hanging out but sometimes one of my BF's has something else to do and go somewhere so we don't get to spent much time together after school. And we can't hang out in the weekends or when we have free time because our parents don't let us go outside and all three of us are mostly busy with homework, families, etc. I wish someday we don't have to care about our family problems and school work and we could just hang out and let our friendship bonds strengthen.
