Prove everybody wrong

Chapter Two

Leila's POV

I inhaled deeply as I stepped into my class. Time to be serious with my life. I groaned when I saw Mr. Roberts in class. That man is a huge pain in the ass.

"Miss Wayne, you're late again". Mr Rogers complained. I ignored him and continued my journey to my seat located at the back of the class. There was nothing he could do to me. I was the beta's daughter and he was just a teacher. I could make him loose his job if he tried anything funny.

"If you come late again to my class, I'm afraid I will have to report you to your father". I mentally rolled my eyes. That was the only thing they all had against me. I turned to him in a mock salute making most of the students laugh.

"I'm so sorry Mr Rogers, I promised to be well behaved from now on". I faked an apology. He clearly saw through the act but he nodded at me and continued his lecture. I walked to my seat quietly.

"Pack whore". Someone mummured beside me. I turned to look at the owner of the voice. It was Cassidy, the daughter of Alpha Xarold. The Alpha of Winter fortress. She'd always hated me from the very first day she set her eyes on me. As much as I wanted to grab her short hair and rip it off her shapeless skull, I refrained myself from doing so. I respected her mother so much, the Luna of Winter fortress besides her father Alpha Xarold was a troublesome Alpha. He had been looking for a reason to go to war with our pack. I wouldn't want to be the reason that the already strained relationship between the two powerful pack would be completely destroyed. I rolled my eyes at her. Everyone knew she always had a crush on Damian and when he chose to date me instead, her anger towards me intensified. How childish.

"You were with Damian weren't you?". Ellie whispered with a smug on her face.

"Of course she was, didn't you see that her lipstick is half way cleaned and her makeup looks so rough. I'm sure she made out intensely with Damian ". Lily whispered smiling. They both giggled causing a few eyes to turn to us. Oh I didn't realize I had the make out look on my face no wonder Cassidy looked as if she wanted to tear me apart. I smiled and wiped my face with the handkerchief Ellie gave me.

"If you girls don't keep quiet, I'm afraid I will be forced to ask you to see the principal ". Mr Rogers shouted at us. Lilly mummured an apology, Ellie just rolled her eyes. I didn't understand her hatred towards Mr Rogers. Sure, we all hated him but Ellie despised him. Well, she actually hated half of the pack members so it doesn't bother me.

I sighed and tried to focus on what Mr. Rogers was saying. His lecture was pretty boring.

Ellie and Lilly had both been my best friends since third grade. We shared everything together. They were the only ones who always had my back. Our friendship was one of the many things that Cassidy envied about me. She hated the fact that she couldn't control my best friends like she could control the rest of the school. She tried creating hers but they just looked like her minions. Always dressing like her in an inferior way and striving to always please her. So hilarious.

"We should plan for our eighteenth birthday. I want it to be massive". Lilly said dreamily. It was lunch time already and we were at the cafeteria.

"What's the haste, I mean it's like eleven months away". Ellie countered.

"Nope, it is eleven months, twenty four days to be precise. And what if it's far, I just want it to be perfect, the best in the history of our pack".

"Yeah, Ellie is so right. I think we should start planning for it. I really want it to be massive. I just can't wait to see the look of defeat on Cassidy's smug face, that will be like the biggest comeback ever".

"You both are weird. I don't care if it's big or not, I just want to find my mate so that I can get away from that hellhole of a house ". Ellie shrugged her shoulders. We understood her pain even though she tries so much to hide it under the mask of being a strong woman. I guess it's one of the things about best friends. Her mother had died with her brother while trying to bring him into the world. Her father, in quest of a son, had married another woman. Second chance mate were rare. The woman turned out to be a total bitch to Ellie. She always hit Ellie for any single mistake. We do pray for the woman to meet her fated mate everyday but I think the moon goddess had another plan. She just gave birth to another pup and that means, more problem for Ellie. She hated Ellie probably because, she looked like her mother. She and Ellie's mother were twin sisters. She had an open crush on Ellie's father but on their eighteenth birthday, he was mated to Ellie's mother instead. That was her grievance towards her sister. I wonder why Ellie's father took her as his second mate when he was aware that the woman hated his real mate. I mean it was obvious to everyone. Maybe, she bewitched him. It was even rumored that she rejected her mate when she found out that Ellie's father was going to marry her. How horrible. I just pray that Ellie should be mated to a powerful man maybe like a warrior who would save her from the claws of her evil step-mother.

"We should invite the whole pack". Lilly suggested munching away her lunch. I was so into that idea, I wanted to prove everybody wrong. That was the only goal I wanted to achieve at my eighteenth birthday.

"Yeah and perhaps we might also invite other packs like the Winter fortress". I suggested talking about Lilly in particular. I want to see the look on her face when I transform.

"I know what you're driving at Lei, you might want to keep your expectations low. Bad things happen all the time especially when our expectations are too high". Ellie said munching her chips. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Why are you always so negative?". Lilly asked.

"Nah, I'm not, I'm just being truthful. Bad things always happens to those who are too expectant of good things. It's an old saying ". She said shrugged and I rolled my eyes at her. Since when did she start caring about boring idioms and proverbs?

"There's no such saying as that you're just being so negative ". Lilly argued.

"Guys stop arguing besides everything will be made clearer at our eighteenth birthday ". I said before it turned into a fight.
