IsobelAfter the whole class was paired up, the professor explained the tasks for the activity. Our goal was to present a short summary of the life of a famous werewolf, especially those who played crucial roles in well-known packs. We could also interview various artists or artisans, anyone who had made a name in different industries.After addressing some related questions, our professor dismissed the class. It was thirty minutes earlier than our usual dismissal time, granting us an additional thirty minutes to spend as we pleased before our next class.In my case, I planned to disinfect my locker with bleach, as I had only managed some light cleaning to avoid being late for my previous class.As soon as the professor left, I began gathering my things and headed toward my intended activity. However, Lucy and her group blocked my way.“Where do you think you’re going?” Lucy asked. I took a deep breath out of sheer impatience; her extreme hatred for me was beginning to annoy me.“What

RyleNight came, and I made my way to the music studio, feeling distracted and down. As soon as I entered, my manager noticed it.“Are you okay, Ryle?”But I just nodded and proceeded to prepare for my radio show. The manager knew something wasn’t right. My usual positive energy and smiling face before singing were absent.“You know, Ryle, everyone has a bad day. You don’t have to perform. Besides, you rarely miss your radio shows. I guess being absent once would not affect your career.”“Sorry, boss, but my fans are waiting for me.”I refused to give up the day from singing. Despite feeling down, I still cared for my fans waiting for my daily show. So I smiled and nodded to my manager to start airing the show.“Good evening, everyone! Welcome again to Midnight Wolf’s daily radio show. To start our show, The Midnight Wolf wanted to dedicate a song to those who are having a bad day.”The manager smiled and gave me the signal to start singing. My first song was about someone who had a b

IsobelThe school proceeded as usual for me the following day. I found joy in spending time with my friend Lorrie in the bustling cafeteria, where the aroma of grilled chicken and mashed potatoes wafted through the air. The anticipation of today's special menu added a layer of excitement to our normal lunch routine.Patiently, we stood in line, eagerly awaiting our turn to get our food. To kill some of the boredom, we decided to chat about our favorite topic to discuss, our werewolf idol, the Midnight Wolf.When our moment arrived, I made a polite request to the lunch lady, "Can you add some extra pepper to my mash, please?"“Gladly,” she grinned. She turned her back on me for a quick moment, and when she came back, I noticed a couple of peppers on top of my potato.“Thank you,” I stated gratefully.“Enjoy your food,” she said before turning her attention to the next hungry student in line.Lorrie and I settled at our usual table, engrossed in conversation about the latest song by the

Isobel “I’m sorry, Scott, but I have to go. Please call me for anything urgent.” I excused myself from Scott and went to look for Ryle. A surge of frustration and anger churned within me, my blood boiling like a storm beneath my skin. My gut instincts screamed that Ryle was the mastermind behind Scott’s scholarship problem. It was more than a gut feeling, actually. I knew he did it. I mean, who in their right mind would do something like that? Did he possess any ounce of conscience in him? I began pacing around the campus, my determination driving me to check every nook and cranny. Despite my thorough search, Ryle remained elusive, playing a cat-and-mouse game with my attempts to confront him. Determined to find him, I continued my quest. I had to face him once and for all. His immature way of dealing with our differences should stop once and for all. While heading to the campus gym, I noticed the Blondies hanging outside, sitting on the bench. Trying not to be seen, I hid behind

The air on the rooftop seemed to thicken as Ryle's unexpected words hung in the silence, catching me off guard."Wait… Did I hear it right? What did you say?" I stammered, my mind racing to comprehend the reality of the situation. The unexpected proposal echoed in my ears, sending shockwaves through my entire being. My heart pounded wildly, and I found myself needing to confirm whether my ears had deceived me.Ryle clicked his tongue, repeating his proposition with impatience."Are you deaf or something? I said date me. If you do, then I'll do what you want. I’ll give back that poor wolf’s scholarship. Happy now?"As I grappled with the astonishing offer, I couldn't help but think that he was planning something awful for me. I thought maybe he was just fooling around or trying to mess with my feelings, but when I looked into his eyes, I felt like he was serious. It made everything really confusing for me.“You’re joking, right?”“Do I look like I am joking? God! You’re so annoying! Ca
