I walked to the boy and sat quietly beside him. "Hey, what's up with you? You don't like playing I guess." I told him. He raised his head up slowly and looked at me with a smile on his face. "You're in a good mood and all alone..? What's your name?" My lips stretched, returning my own smile to him."Orlan Phileus." He said, with a smile still on his beautiful face. "And you?" He questioned. "Beck Barthon" I replied, and I pulled my right hand from folding it and stretched it towards him as I sat up well. He returned same and we shook hands lovingly. "When did you come here, Orlan?" "I came here when I was very young, and I've been living here since then." "So you're a werewolf too?" I asked as I folded my arms together again and faded out my smile into a serious face."Hmm... No I'm not. and that's why I've been facing secret bullying and a lot of lonesomeness until now. Only the new students talk to me a few times and leave me when they find out that I can't cope with hard plays,
TEN YEARS LATER.I was sitting at a deserted spot, no one was there, even the trees weren't waving to the wind. The place seemed haunted, but having a bad day in school was haunting me more. I wished the memories of my experience would end right now, it didn't but stayed there, rattling and pattering inside there. I don't know how but I ended up receiving that this semester in college. Many other persons as well, but mine should have been an exemption. Though I wasn't the best in college, but I always did well enough. I just sat there and let my sadness hunt me, drenched in tears. After some minutes of my mourning, Athan came to me and sat beside me.Athan is a male friend of mine, he is also a human and not a werewolf, I had few friends during my time in first year in college. Athan and Kaul were the ones who were close to me because we share the same classroom and we sit next to each other. Although Kaul was a werewolf."Hey girl, what's up?" Athan said from behind me. I wasn't in
That Saturday was the day we fixed for the date. Saturday morning. I woke up when my alarm rang by 6 am. My veins stretched and bones creaked as I stretched myself on the bed. The alarm was still ringing and it kept quiet after a while, the moment I hit the dancing, big, red button on it. I dragged my sluggish self from the bed and stretched again with my bones cracking, yawned and released my hands on my laps with a loud tap sound. I checked my nightgown, looked from side to side and finally rose up from the bed. I walked wobbly to the bathroom, looked around and came back out to change into my towels. I took my brush and brushed my teeth, went into the bathroom again and gave my warm body a cold shower, which felt good. I came out and after some minutes of walking naked in my closed room, I finally had the idea of wearing something, which I did. I wore a long, black, flowing gown, with straps and seeing my long worn beret. I pitied it and tuck my hair into it well. Finally, the i
Alone in my room, I sat in the bed, with my own dancing on my pages. It was weeks to the final examinations in college, my final examination in school that will determine if I am a failure or not. I just finished the assessments that was loaded to me, by Miss Claud. My after school tutor, who was assigned to tutor me by Orlan. She has been doing a really great job, and it has been helpful, since I had been bundled with works and I had to do them. I became a bookworm, soon after a long time of tutorials. I was working on chemistry. It was a subject that I had been battling with, in school. It was my greatest fear, and my target. "Hello there, it's time for lunch." Kaul came knocking at my door, it was 01:02 pm. That was when we have our lunch, around one of clock, and in the cafeteria. I exhaled sharply, sat up idly and looked at the books dully. I walked down from the bed and left the book leaves flipped over and over, because I left the window opened to let the fresh air and sunlig
Alpha Ros walked towards Orlan and passed by him, as Orlan didn't show regards to him and vice versa. Alpha Ros came to check on me and Orlan left the place. After some couple of days, the time for the exam came very near. I was under a oak tree, at the backyard. The breeze under the tree was very favourable and mild. I was flipping the pages slowly as I grasp enough from them. All I was doing was mere rereading, I had read more than enough, that would be very helpful for me. Steps approached faintly and looking at the footwear, I grasped that it was Kaul, coming. "Hey Kaul." With my eyes, still fixed on the pages, I greeted him bluntly.How are you doing? Ugh!" He moaned as he sat by me .on the bench, under that tree."I'm doing well, I see you're done reading, book nerd.""Thanks for the accolade. Teaser" he was probably there to distract me from reading, with one of his gist. His head was up, facing the branches and leaves. His eyeballs kept rolling and he kept tapping the groun
It was the last day of my examination. We had only one subject, which was to be worked out in the afternoon. I woke up very early in the morning. It was the sound from the dancing phone, which woke me up. I jumped out of bed, get my teeth cleaned up,, and rushed to get a cold bath, swapped my clothes, from the nightgown to the beautiful, red mini gown, it was a babydoll dress. It had stones, used on dresses. The stones were reflecting the blue lights that were illuminating the room.I was done and dashed out of the room. It was going to be the last month I'll use as a student in Texas. Already, Orlan had been getting me to get the post of a nurse in Balbrigga, Dublin. I was excited already, I was to meet him in his house in the morning before I went to the school for my examinations. Myris met me at the veranda. We were the closest, among the staffs. The teachers were still friendly as they had been, to everyone. Kaul also followed her, from behind her. They stopped me from going. I
The following month, after the final examinations. I was ushered in the room, where the elders stay, to make judgements. The Alpha don't usually join them in making the judgements or decision. He only talked to the grandteacher and give his own opinion, that's all he does, until there a important news from.the scouts and hunters. The grandteacher came in last and the chairs wouldn't stop making high pitched sounds, as the other elders shifted, making space for the grandteacher to pass through. Finally, the room was silent and I, Kaul, and ten others who were standing before chairs, were sat down, as the grandteacher gave us the body language. "Welcome y'all" the grandteacher greeted us, the students, who were sitting on the chair, facing the elders. "Thanks elders" we chorused as we should, it was a customer to do so, in the presence of the elders."You all have done a very great job, and have performed well, in your academics. My greatest gratitude, goes to you, Kaul. You've done w
The next morning, I changed the time for the alarm to wake me up, to 5am, and as early as 5am, the alarm clock vibrated and blared. I jumped out of the bed, swayed the bedsheet off my body and brushed my teeth, had my bath and changed into a black suit which has inner white singlet, with had black thin stripes. I arranged my ponytail and added some powder on my face. I twirled, before the mirror and adjusted the dress on me. It was already ironed and smooth. I added lipstick on the lips and wore make-up to brighten up my beautiful face.I walked into the Uber car I had ordered from an app, which was considered a five star Uber app in the city. Orlan had made all the preparations for me. I lived like a princess. I walked in the car and had my ride to the hospital, I already seen the picture of the building, but, seeing was believing. It was more enormous in reality. I gaped and walked in the hospital. The receptionists heard my name as we interacted. She smiled gracefully as if she was
