Sandra
Another day of highschool hell had arrived. Waking up on a Monday morning was always a dtruggle. You'd swear I was a knight wagging war towards another land. In this case the land would be my bed. I stood outside the house, waiting patiently for Peter to show up but he took longer than expected. I think he woke up later than me. I began to walk to school since I didn't want to be late for class. It was not too long of a distace but I had no choice but to increase my pace. While walking, i heard the sound of a car beep from behind me. I was very certain it wasn't Peter. He didn't like the beep of a car. I continued with my journey, daring not to turn my gaze to see who was making that continuous beeping sound. I then stopped walking to allow the noisy car to pass. I turned my gaze to look but was surprised to see that it was my classmates. The twins and their shared boyfriend Tyler. The Finley sister's threw raw eggs on my face, while Tyler the drove the orange Ranger van with music playing on the speaker. All three laughed as their perfect morning teaser worked out well in their favour. I was filled with so much shame.I searched for a napkin to wipe my face with but remembered that I had forgotten it inside the laundry basket. I then pulled out my jersey and began to wipe away the filth from my face.I decided to continue my journey to school but the smell of the raw eggs was enough to make me want to puke. I ran to the nearest public toilet and began to wash my delicate face. And just when I was about to leave, I heard a car beeping. I turned slightly and realized that it was Jake. I continued walking. With no interest whatsoever to speak to anyone, especially him. "Hey, wait. Sandra please wait for me." Jake shouted. I stopped then turned around to look at the annoying snob."Why, so that you can laugh at me?" I asked. "Why would I laugh at you?" "Because I smell like raw eggs." Jake leaned in on me and sniffed. "You don't smell bad. I always carry around my body spray, you can use it. I won't mind." The snob offered. I rolled my eyes. "I don't want to smell like you.. I just want to smell clean.""We can get a body spray at a local store but I don't think we'll make it in time for class." I felt so emotional. "The Finley twins always have it in for me. Today they threw eggs on me and now I'll smell like this the whole day!" I shouted angrily. Jake was silent for a while. "I'm sorry that happened to you. Can I help you get revenge?" He asked"What?" "Can I help you get your vengeance?" Sandra chuckled. "How?" "We could do anything you want us to do." I couldn't believe what Jake was telling me. His offer was tempting but how could I trust him?"Well. I'm getting late for school. The list of things I want to do those three is endless and long." "How about we discuss that list over lunch, maybe after school." Jake suggested.Was this guy asking me on a date? Which means Peter could be right. He could be having a total crush on me. But I don't love him. "Why, what's the catch?" I inquired. "No catch." Yeah right, I'm only going to this because I want to see those Finley twins destroyed. Jake has plenty of connections. He could help me out. "Well okay. How will we meet then I don't have you on.." Jake gave Sandra his contact card. "That's how you'll reach me." He said, boldly. "But you do know that I don't like you." "Well I don't like you too." I had a laugh, the kind I hadn't had since morning.Sandra put the card inside her backpack. "Ah. Its 7:45, if you walk to school you'll be 20 minutes late for your science class. Can I take you there?" Jake offered. I felt a mixture of emotions. Everyone in school will now be a hater if they see me in his car. I have enough hater's as it is, but who cares."Argh fine. Let's go then." I said boldly.Jake's face brightened. He opened the car door for me and I hopped in.Lunch break hour arrived. Peter and I were on our way to the cafeteria, when suddenly we heard loud scream. We rushed there and saw the Finley sisters both covered in raw eggs with a red colour on their faces. They both closed their lockers angrily.
"Who did this?" Anne Finley asked the pupils laughing.. no one answered. Alice Finley the other twin noticed me. "We have to get out of here." I saidPeter was hesitant that he even stayed there laughing. Anne whispered to her sister. I think she was probably telling her I was responsible for the trap of which I was, indirectly. Anne wiped her hands onto her sister's T-shirt. She walked towards my direction. The pupils became worried. Peter stood in front of me.. "Touch her and you'll have trouble with me!" A voice said suddenly.. It was Jake."If you want someone to blame, take me. I did it " He added. Anne eyed Jake. I could tell from her expression, she didn't believe him. "You are lying" "Vengeance tastes sweet doesn't it." Said Peter. He cleared a way for me. Alice was grinding her teeth when she saw me."Are you siding with her?" Anne asked.
"Yes I am. I've watched you push her around and that is going to stop from now on.". Jake said. Tyler ran towards the Finley sisters. He asked in a low voice what was wrong but because he was a coward. He did not even cause a fight. He took the two girl's away from the crowd. "You better run." I finally spoke in a low voice. "Can I get that lunch with you tomorrow after school?" Jake asked. I simply nodded. Peter and Jake shaked hands in a super cool way again, before departing separate ways. JakeIt had been weeks since I've spent a decent time with my father. He was always so busy with his many businesses not forgetting his alpha position which required him to travel still. In two weeks he was in Dublin, visiting another pack sort out a matter concerning an enemy threatening to take their territory from them. Seeing him sitting there on the dinner table with a smile on his face meant good news. He wasn't the type to smile, unless he had killed someone. Gushing the blood out of someone's body, thrilled him. I put on my formal clothes just to have dinner with him. He preferred it so. I grabbed a chair and sat there. "Looking great as always son." "A compliment? This must be good news." Daniel chuckled. "Let's just say my Dublin friends get to keep their home.""Wonderful.." I lifted a piece of meat from my plate ate it raw as it was. My father chuckled. "You need to eat more. You'll one day have to lead the pack. How will you do it without the proper nutrition, Do you even eat when I'm away?" I felt a slight offend""I do eat." Daniel eyed me. As if in disbelief.. "I know I just arrived but there's a project that needs my attention." I placed the fork on the table. My appetite disappeared that very moment. "Where are you going?" "A business conference. I'll return in a few days." A name came in mind. It was Sandra. I could use this opportunity to show around the place. "Its alright. Do what you have to." I said. My father's face brightened. He looks so relieved.Since I won't be here for some time. Will you be able to take care of the house alone or should I ask Paul to watch out over you ""Come one dad. How can you even ask me that. I am no longer a pup. I can look after myself." "I knew you'd say that. But again remember that you are not just any werewolf teen. You are my son. I have many enemies. They would do anything to get to me. And what a better way to do it than through my own offspring." "Dad, I am not scared. I can look after myself, I said." "Then I will leave the house to your care then, but no parties and some stupid friends over. I don't want any human here." "Dad, I am not a kid." "But you are popular in your school and I know how much those humans will be eager in coming here. Don't bring them here, if you care about their lives I won't have mercy." "Yes I know you're a cold blooded werewolf who would go to the ends of killing harmless teenager's." "Not just any teenagers, human beings specifically." "I won't bring any humans here." We finished off their meal with a glass of Cabernet franc.On Fridays, classes ended early and sometimes pupils just sign the register and sit there doing nothing. I didn't see a point of going to school on that specific day. And so I would study in therary with a tutor helping me with my lesson's. When I was done studying I called Paul to come and train me. He did come and did not ask any questions since he knew that I was free on Mondays. A timetable set by me. "Your aims are not as hard today like every other day." Said Paul. I felt worried. "I must have not eaten anything. My limbs do feel strange." Paul analysed me. "Its called having a love interest on someone. Is this about that Sandra girl again?" I was caught. He knew me well. "I can't stop thinking about her." "Are you seeing her?" "Of course not. But I will very soon." I boldly stated as if knowing the future. Paul shook his head slightly. He sighed. "If I were you, I'd forget about her. You're a werewolf and she is human." I laughed hilariously. "I've dated many hum
I entered the house to find it empty. I noticed a note pasted on the refrigerator from my mother, that she had to leave for work and would return again tomorrow. Being a nurse, meant working long hours, sometimes with extra shifts. I felt slightly bored and regretted arriving at home early. I could have stayed out a bit longer. I thought to myself. Sigh. I began to undress till I was only left with only my purple under garment. I threw my body on the bed and laid there for a while. A smile covered my face. I felt happy. As if I needed to go out. I could only see Jake's face whenever I shut my eyes tight. And imagined myself kissing him. Suddenly there was a loud ringing on my cellphone. It was Peter. "Hey! Where are you? I passed by your house. Your mom said you were with Jake." He said. I giggled. "Yes. I was with him" "Did he finally confess his feelings, is that why you're giggling?" I quickly grabbed a mirror and realised I looked like a hypocrite. Was I lying to myself whe
"Who might that be?" I wondered. My father left the room quickly. I could hear him talking with someone. It sounded like Peter. "Its my friend from school. Let him in!" I shouted My mother looked at me a stern cold face. She disliked visitor's. "We will have this conversation after your friend has left. Those dogs can't get away with hurting my daughter! I won't let them." Mavis pressed. I heard footsteps approaching. The door opened wide. I smiled as I saw Peter standing there. But what I could understand was why he brought a mouse with him. I never liked Sandra. She was always so picky and acting clean and innocent. She represented everything I hated. She was too good. Nothing like Peter. "Oh look darling, your friends from school have come to see you." George said with a wide pretense smile on his face. "Come closer." I said. I could see the eagerness in Peter's eyes, he feared me and that turned me on. "Don't be afraid, go to her. She's doing much better now." Said Georg
SandraCornerstone high school was overcrowded with many pupils. News travelled fast that Jake and I were a couple even as we were not. I felt offended. I mean what was there to like about the guy? He was a snob and he wasn't that hot as some of the girls said. It was embarrassing how they would drool over him... I didn't understand what they saw there. I admit, Jake and I had made it a habit to walk at the school premises together. We ate together during lunch and even went to the school library together. Perhaps that's why people considered us a couple. Well I was uncomfortable with that, neither was Peter..I think. He was growing distant from us. And that was worrying me"I managed to get three tickets to see the famous Hayden that you've been telling me about." Said Jake, placing the tickets on the table. I was filled with so much excitement that I screamed out loud without intending to do so. I had such a big crush on Hayden. My favourite musician of all times. "Oh my God.
Sandra I found it hard to sleep without at least resolving things with Peter. We have always been close friends. I wondered what was happening to us. I didn't like how bad things were becoming. Our friendship was on rocky ice. It was unstable. I wondered if Jake was the culprit. But then again, how could he? He had been so kind to the both us. That he would even suggest that the three of us go and watch Hayden together. It just didnt make any sense. So if Jake wasn't the problem then who was? I wondered. Suddenly, I received a call. The number was blank. Out if curiousity. I decided to answer it. "Jake is not a good boy, he's an animal. He can be slaughtered easily, but we live forever." Said a voice, it sounded machine operated. I was shocked. I felt the need to contact the snob, can you imagine? I was surprised because he actually answered."Sandra, is that you?".I felt slightly irritable "Its a ghost from another planet." I teased.. Jake did not laugh but was silent. I cou
Peter I had been moody for some time. I didn't understand what was happening to me. Ever since Jess was in an accident, I had been stressed for her. I had always had a crush on her. She had that fire in her. The kind of strength that attracted me. She was of course attractive as well. I loved her brown eyes and her rustic her and that Rock and roll look she would put on. It suited her and that personality she had. But most of all I loved the fact that she was kind to others. When I found out that she was involved in helping at an old age home I was smitten. I knew that she was the one for me. A selfless beauty queen. I knew I had to make her mine. I didn't even have to confess my feelings for her. I just did good things for her.. then one day, she just kissed me and gave me a gift. A ring. She probably wanted me to think of it as a promise ring. I kept her word and kept it a secret from everyone to respect her wishes. Instead of putting it on my finger, I placed it around my neck for
SandraMy body was feeling strained because of all my long continuous thinking. I just couldn't stop worrying about Peter. He had been acting strange for weeks, withdrawing from our usual activities and spending more and more time with Jessica. Hold on! Ever since those two have started dating, Peter had been acting strange. I mean, I'm happy that they are a couple now, even as I've never seen them walk together in public. But it's unfair how the only friend I've ever known is treating me now. I don't know what could be the reason for his hatred towards me. You'd swear I did something. Or does he think I despise his girlfriend? Peter and I had always been very close. I could feel the tears in my eyes just thinking about what he and i used to do together. When i was 8 years old, my frog Alfie was murdered by one of the Finley sisters, Alice . She had made it seem like a mere accident but Peter had seen everything. Everyone was afraid of reporting Alice to the principal because she ha
Jess What had just happened? was the question running in my mind. I had done all according to how the ritual is said to be done. Peter was supposed to be obedient. My mother suddenly entered the living room. She was in awe, like me. "What was Peter doing here?" She asked. I could feel my body heating up. "He knows what I am!" I shouted. "What! How could he have known?" My mother shouted, angrily. "He caught me when I was trying to enchant him with a spell." I could see the disappointment in my mother's eyes "I can't believe this. Now I have to clean up for your mess, again!" She said. "You want to kill him?" I asked, worried. "Yes. If I don't. Everyone in this community will come for us and we will all be dead." Just then, George burst into the room, his face pale and his eyes wide with fear. "I just saw Peter driving away angrily. Are you having problems with him?" My father asked. "What did he say to you?" I asked, my heart racing."He said nothing. He looked at me
