I will pick you up when classes are over. Don't dare move on your own aimlessly around here. This places seems more dangerous than l even ever thought.Mum repuked. I nodded as a response to her words as l fleed from the car.l wondered why she insisted on us moving to this place if she was going to regret it later. Yes l can see regrets in her almond eyes. It's really must be a good reason for her to decide on our moving. Otherwise she let us do so in the middle of the semester is something l never expected from her.
Ever since l was a toddler and even beginning to understand few things, we've been in Washington. No moving except when we changed apartments but still on the same block. That happened when l just started my junior year.
I sighed giving her a look but she was focusing her gaze on the school premises.
Surprisingly we weren't late than l had earlier thought we would be because by the time we arrived, other students are also just coming.
Once l was outside the car, l bide my goodbyes to mum and she replied the same to me before she gestured for me to enter inside the school gate.l know mum is now more terrified than ever because of what we met on the road and also the news of that girl on tv yesterday. But l dont think that's necessary to worry about me. I can take care of myself. We ain't all destined to be eaten by an animal. Do we?
She left and I sighed as l set my feet inside the gigantic gate.l glanced at the splendid building of the school and frowned.
I wasn't actually expecting it to be this huge. The building is a two flat Spanish revival construction with green as the shades used. Only the doors and windows frames are in white.
The school compound has trees planted in it and it's very neat like no one passes through it.
Despite of how beautiful it looks, l couldn't help but feel that there is something odd about this school.But l dont seem to point it out. Don't know if l should worry or not .
Standing at the gate inside observing each and every student that is by passing me didn't take away the strange feeling l got about this school again Each one of the students has a unique scent that is quickly registered by my nostrils. Honey, lavender and somewhat musky wild-thing like smell that's strong. But at the same times they are those students that by pass and my nose could only caught their lotions and other stuffs . I found it really weird.
I let the negative thoughts behind as l slowly moved forward to the office that has a sign post DOS.
I found a young woman with silk black hair and with round eyes seated on a chair with a round mahogany office table. She may be in her mid 20s. She greeted me with a beaming smile and l wasn't bad not to turn back with mine. New student! She asked and l nodded.Okay she said as she turned on her computer. Name please! She inquired softly.
Daciana Freeman. I replied instantly. Alright l saw you in there let me show you to your class. She mused as she stood up from her seat. I followed behind her closely down the hall way.
My nostrils again!! They couldn't stop but to get a whiff of something bizarre in the air.Again?
l didnt let that be the center of my focus again. The young lady whom l came to know as Mrs Parker knocked at the last door in the corner of the hallway. In a fraction of milliseconds, the door flashed open inwardly only to reveal a middle aged man standing in front of us with a smile. Mrs Parker you are giving me another new student today he chuckled slightly.
Yes its seems that today is your day for new students alone. Replied Mrs Parker with a smile. Okay okay thank you Mrs parker my student come to class. He showed me the way but he remained conversing with Mrs Parker.
I found my way to a table behind under the gazes of the students inside the classroom. l hate attention but that doesn't mean that am fearful. I confidently stared at everyone whose gaze was on me. And they were the ones to retract their glances. I can put the blame to that animal that attacked and killed the boy on the way. If it's not it, l wouldn't be this late finding the class already full. Earlier l was happy when l saw students entering that's why l thought that l wasn't late.
The teacher came back inside after few minutes. His eyes scanned the entire class room until he they landed on me. New student what's your name? He asked. Of course l knew that he was asking me because am the one who just arrived now. So without wasting time, l stood up and told my name.
I could sense that the other students' gazes are on me but l ignored them and replied to teacher that am from Washington after he asked where am from.
Welcome to hillside hope you will enjoy it here. He said and then continued with his English teachings and it seems to me that he has just started when we interrupted him.
The class went on for after like fifteen minutes when a guy with messy hair entered. I had actually been observing and staring at him through the window.Don't blame me for doing that when am new in the class.lts only that l found this English teacher very boring and more to that the topic he was teaching, l had already covered it in my former school. May be because l was used to hot teachers in Washington that l lost interest in listening to him.
So to kill the boredom, l just averted my eyes to the window by my side. It's facing into the parking lot.
That guy has been smoking cigarette all along. He seemed to be in sorrow. He could mess his hair from time to time. Our eyes connected for few seconds and l quickly withdrawal mine.
When l looked in the place again after few seconds he wasn't there until the classroom door opened.
You are late again Mr. Ron. Said the teacher. And l dont think you won't get paid your salary if am late Mr. Robert's. The boy named Ron replied angrily to Mr. Robert's.
When will you get manners it's not appropriate for you to reply me that way. Responded Mr. Robert. A look of sadness in his brown eyes.
Ron groaned and his lips slightly curl, revealing just a few teeth. Did he just groan! And his eyes are conveying warning to Mr. Roberts.
Ron took large strides towards where Mr. Roberts stood. He was about to stress out his hand when another student jumped towards them and hold Ron's hands. Cool down Alpha!!! The voice was low but l had it.And l think l was able to because of the change that took place in me recently or otherwise this was a low voice from that boy but l was able to hear.
And l could feel that the entire class 8s on tension what's exactly is going on here. That l cant point it out.
Alpha!! What does that even supposed to mean? And since am new and haven't made any friends yet, l cant ask anyone about it. I didn't even bring my phone with me today. I would have checked G****e for the answer.Hope l will remember when l reach home in the evening to check it out.
The boy managed to take Ron away from the scared Mr. Roberts to the back seatsbof the class. Why will Mr. Roberts be scared of Ron? Is he just his student?
Subsequently, the class resumed. I took a glance backwards and saw that Ron was laying on the desk with his head all the time but mr. Robert treated him as if he is invisible.
I concentrated on what he is teaching even though it bored me to death but l had too because l wanted to put the thoughts and questions inside my mind to rest.
Mr. Roberts at last ended his class. Looking at the time table that Mrs Parker gave me earlier, l realized that the period for English is too long compared to others. The next one is for music but since l dont offer that l choose to read my novel during that time.
At lunch time l went to the cafeteria and buy my self a tuna sandwich with milk. I sat alone and eat my food in silence.
I felt gazes on me while l was eating. I turned out to see that it was Ron but when l looked at him back, he hurried withdrew his gaze. I didn't care about him and his hot looks. I finished what l was eating and went back to class after using the bathroom.
Classes finally ended and l immediately took my things with me to wait for mum near the school gate.
I didn't even stand for long when mum pulled over. She slides the car window and smiled at me. I smiled back and pooped in on the other side. I sighed as l put my butt to comfortable in the passenger's seat.
Anew school this implies a new beginning with no acquaintances, No friends, having to restart my life again. While suffering with anxiety of what may lie ahead of me. Enduring fear of being rejected and not expecting much from any one. But l was looking forward to a new tomorrow.
My dear how are you and how was school? Mum asked me the moment l sat down in the passenger's seat.Am okay mum and school was a little bit boring. May be because it's my first day in there. I replied looking outside through the window.Yes it may be the case and l guess you didn't make any new friends as of yet. The cold face you have now tells me that am right. She voiced out while giving me a quick look before initiating the engine into the drive way.To that l didnt answer right away. My mind took me back to what happened during the English period when that Ron of a boy and Mr. Robert hit at each other. There is something not right about my new school. Even the other students were behaving weird which left me more curious. How can l befriend them after seeing the way they conduct themselves. Of course l need to make new friends in order to fit in but today wasn't the best day l guess.I don't think it's because l ke
Upon hearing my question, mum looked at me. No she answered. She then seemed like she is thinking about something.I had two interviews today just in case the one doesn't go well. But l dont think that l will accept the jobs either way. She added.And why is that? I asked.The first the interview the ceo is a half wit kind of a man who thought that l will take off my clothes for a job. And the second interview l passed. It's a company under a woman according to what l learnt.They called me on my way here that l passed as the ceo assistant. I didn't accept because the payment is very low. Mum explained with a sigh escaping her lips afterwards.Any way mum it's okay. I think you should relax for days before searching for another job.We just moved. Don't you think that you are stressing your self enough already with this job hunting thing? I told her and then asked.Daci you know we used alot of money while moving in here. We a
I entered class. Unlike yesterday, today my classmate aren't many yet. I went all along to the desk l sat on yesterday but found a girl with Sandy blonde hair siting on it. She glanced at me as l stood in front of her clearing my throat. She is beautiful with light green eyes with pink lips which she applied lipgloss to.l them realized that l didnt see this girl yesterday. She was absent. So you must be the new girl who sat in my seat yesterday. Listen l dont like people occupying my seat. She said as her eyes and hands animated to what she was saying. I looked at her and smiled. Like you will go with the seat after graduation. I said and turned to seat two desks far from her. Did you just retorted back? l heard her ask. I looked at her calmly and replied; yes l did since am not mute. I heard some one say woow! finally some one can talk with you without fear. I raised my head from my bag and saw a guy with brown short hair coming to our row
The computer room is big and each one of the computers were placed at a little far distance from each other. Due to my last encounter with that girl whose name leaves my mind too quick, l decided that l should wait a while for my classmates to sit. I will sit in an empty space. It's not that am afraid of anyone picking on me but l just don't want to make a lot of enemies. I need friends instead. When everyone sat down, l moved away from the window where l have been watching the view to the woods. I got a seat behind. Immediately l settled down than a girl who had gave me a note in additional math came. Helo Daciana am Venus. Welcome to Hillside. She uttered cutely with a smile. Thank you Venus since you already knows my name no need for intro right? I responded to her. Yeah right she replied. As she sat at a seat behind me. Let's catch up later she added as the teacher showed his face. In computer am only one sub topic in fro
Venus seems to come from a very wealth family. According to how she behave and the clothes plus every thing she has is all branded.She drives herself as well as Ron. And l think that's the reason her parents wouldn't let her work. And as for me, l am very much interested in finding something to do. Something that will relieve mum's stress. But am not sure if she will allow me to do so. When we just came here she was scared to let me be alone outside the house due to frequent animal attacks that was going on in the area. It has been a while and there was no cases of such reported. I don't know what will be her answer. She once told me that the moment l hit 18,l will be doing anything l want. l will try my luck and see. She got a job recently but worked there only for four days and quit because the boss also wanted nothing but to get into her pants. My mum is in her late 30s. Beautiful with a perfect body and dazzling jade eyes. Sometimes at night l see them like they are dark green
At the stage l was given another gold medal. I was happy about even though am used to them now. The second person was given a silver one and to my surprise it's wasn't Tasha. Another girl whom l heard her name as Marvis.Other games went on went but me and Venus kept on moving around the school. Cheerleading was in the evening after track and field. So we had alot of time to do our things until then.If you ask us who won the rest of the games, we will just look at you in a daze. All the time we had been watching movies on Venus's phone and dance to the music and l must say Venus is a good at everything. Singing or dancing let it be raping. She is fire. She a fun person to be with. When l was with Cassie, we just had to read books all the time because we both wanted ti top the class. But with Venus everything is differentLunch time came by. We went to our usual spot and sat down after ordering the food from the cafeteria. Ron and Alex came too
Zion Grey Finally l decided to go back home after being away for decades. And my main reasons for leaving my home, my pack the Golden age moon pack was to find my mate and also escape the torture of the alpha Alfred Silverado. That man had made my life miserable in the pack and if you ask me the reason behind it, my answer is always no.l don't have any slightest idea. But despite of all that l didnt hate his son Alfred Junior who is the current Alpha of the pack. He has been my best friend since we were pups. And his mother also used to treat me well and at times she would quarrel with her mate about the way he mistreat me. Alfred Silverado was killed by his brother Albert Silverado. The two used to be at war with each other. Each one of them claimed to be the real alpha of the Golden age moon pack. Blood never cease to be shed by the two killing innocent pack members. At that time l was fifteen and l had only shifted. That every night Alfred had planne
In fraction we were at that land that l left 37 years ago my home. It's feels so good to be back here again. I can't describe it in words but am really happy to be back.Welcome back home Zion. This is how our home looks like now. A disgrace right? Aj asked sadly.Thank you l replied him. OK this place used to be better than this. The woods weren't that transparent like how they are now. People used to be happy back then but the pack members we have passed by all looked miserable. All there houses ain't in good shapes. What's really has been going on in this pack? I asked AjThe biggest problem we have here is the rogues. They want to take the pack territory and make it their home. And the neighboring packs ain't willing to help given that we are weak with nothing to give them in return. Aj sadly pointed out. You are tired you need to rest. I had your house renovated the moment you said that you are coming back. Do you want to go there or stay in the pack house. He told
