Four

 

   JULES POV 

 

"I can sense the butterflies in her tummy," I chuckled to my friends, as we huddled together in the corner of the schoolyard. Gigi was the topic of conversation, and we had all been watching her closely, waiting for the right moment to strike.

 

For as long as I could remember, Gigi had always been an outsider. A wolfless and plus-sized human in a sea of cliques and groups, she had always yearned to be a part of our world but had never quite made the cut. And now, as she edged closer and closer to Onix, the leader of our group, I knew that her hopes were about to be dashed.

 

But I wasn't going to let that happen. Not without a fight, at least.

 

"I'll make her life unbearable," I declared, my eyes flashing with determination. "She'll regret ever trying to be a part of our world."

 

My friends egged me on, cheering and jeering, but I could sense their unease. They knew, as I did, that Onix was not a force to be reckoned with. If he found out what we were planning, there would be hell to pay.

 

So I bided my time, watching from the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. And as we entered the classroom the next day, I knew that my chance had finally come.

 

Onix was staring at me, his eyes smoldering with anger, and I could feel my heart beating faster with every passing moment. But I refused to back down. I was determined to prove my worth, no matter the cost.

 

As I took my seat, I noticed Gigi watching us closely, her eyes darting back and forth between Onix and me.  I could see the hope in her eyes, the desperate desire to be a part of our world. But I knew that it was all for naught.

 

And then, as Gigi rose from her seat and made her way towards Onix, I knew that it was time. I signaled to my friends, and one of them stretched out her leg, tripping Gigi and sending her crashing to the ground.

 

The room erupted in laughter, and I felt a surge of triumph coursing through my veins. But even as I reveled in my victory, I couldn't help but wonder if it was all worth it.

 

Was it worth it to crush someone's hopes and dreams just to prove my own worth? Was it worth it to make someone's life unbearable just to prove a point?

 

I didn't have the answers, but I knew one thing for sure: the butterflies in Gigi's tummy had turned to stones, and I was the one responsible. And I burst out laughing again, harder this time around.

 

Onix's gaze was piercing, and I could feel his eyes locked onto me as he stood up and walked straight towards me. The classroom fell silent as his towering figure loomed over me, and I could feel the heat of his anger emanating from his body.

 

"Why did you do that?" Onix's voice was harsh, and his finger pointed at me accusingly. I could feel the weight of his disappointment and disapproval bearing down on me like a heavy burden.

 

My classmates erupted in laughter, their snickers and giggles echoing around the room, but I remained silent.  I didn't want to upset Onix any further, nor did I want to draw any more attention to myself.

 

But Onix was not done yet. "Did you want to break her waist?" he continued, his voice rising in anger. "This is wickedness to the core." It's unfair to treat someone this way. Is it because she's not a werewolf like us?  Or her size?"

 

Onix's eyes glowed red with fury, and I felt a knot form in my stomach. I knew that he was a powerful werewolf, and I didn't want to be on the receiving end of his wrath.

 

As Onix continued to berate me, I felt myself becoming more and more agitated. I couldn't take it anymore. Without a word, I stood up and left the classroom, hoping to escape the tense atmosphere that had settled over us.

 

As I walked away, I could hear Onix's voice behind me, shouting down the laughter of my classmates. But I didn't look back. Instead, I retreated to a quiet corner of the school, where my friends had followed me.

 

They chattered away, discussing the incident that had just occurred. But I wasn't in the mood to talk. I was still fuming from Onix's words, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of frustration and anger that had settled over me.

 

I thought to myself, "It wasn't fair." Why did Onix have to speak to me like that, in front of everyone? Wasn't I supposed to be special to him?

 

But then I remembered something that had always comforted me in the past. Onix was mine and mine alone.  No one else could claim him, not even that stupid girl, Gigi.

 

I knew that Onix would come back to me eventually. He always did. And when he did, I would make sure that he knew how much I had suffered in his absence.

 

For now, I would give him his space.  But I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had settled over me. Would things ever be the same between us again? Or had Onix's anger irreparably damaged our relationship?

 

As my friends continued to chatter away, I found myself lost in my own thoughts, wondering what the future held in store for me and Onix.  All I knew was that nothing would ever be the same again. But if fate has it that we will be, then so shall it be.

There's something about that fat rat that just gets under my skin. Maybe it's the way she scurries around, all plump and waddling.  Or maybe it's the way she looks at me with those beady little eyes, like she knows something I don't.

 

Whatever the reason, I hate her.  And I'm not alone in that. It seems like everyone is out to get her these days, but for me, it's personal.  I have my own way of dealing with her—a way that's going to make her regret ever crossing me.

 

Today, time is moving at a snail's pace. I'm stuck here, watching that stupid rat run around like she owns the place, and all I can think about is how I'm going to make her pay. I've never felt so humiliated in my life, and it's all her fault.

 

But soon, the bell will ring, and I'll be free to go home and plan my revenge. No one can stop me from bullying that fat rat, not the whole world, not anyone.  And when I'm done with her, she'll wish she had never crossed my path.

As soon as the bell rang, I knew it was time to make my move. But something inside me told me not to go first. So, I waited. I waited until everyone had left the school premises before I made my way to the car park.

 

I got into my car and drove slowly, hoping to catch Gigi on her way home.  She was the only one I needed to talk to.  The rest didn't matter. But no matter how slowly I drove, that fat idiot wouldn't appear anytime soon.  So, I reversed course and headed back to school, but not without a detour.

 

I stopped at a corner, waiting for Gigi.  When I saw her approaching, I got out of the car and commanded her to stop. She tried to show me that she couldn't obey my orders, but I wasn't having any of it. I pushed her to the ground and drew her ears closer.

 

"This is your last warning, Gigi," I said, "but it won't be the last time I put you in your place."

 

Gigi's tears began to flow, but I didn't care. She had always irritated me, and I couldn't even think of having someone like her by my side.

 

"I'm giving you that space to have Onix," I continued, "but have it in mind that he is mine and will still come back to me."

 

The tears kept flowing, and I knew that she understood the gravity of my words. She knew that I wasn't someone to be trifled with and that I meant every word I said.

 

As I was warning her, I noticed some people coming towards us.  I knew that I had to leave before anyone saw us. So, I got into my car and zoomed off, feeling happy that I had accomplished what I set out to do.

 

But Gigi had better not let Onix hear about this.  If she did, she would be in a world of trouble.

 

I knew that I had to take matters into my own hands. I couldn't let Gigi get away with what she had done. She had crossed a line, and I had to show her that there were consequences for her actions.

 

As I drove away, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. I had warned her, and I knew that she would think twice before crossing me again.
