“Should we head to the restaurant, Miss Diana is waiting for you I presume” Conner muttered and he shook his head.“Head home, make sure nobody is allowed inside the house…”“Should I give her any excuse…”“No, I’m sure she’s brilliant enough to take the hint that I don’t want her” He replied coldly as Conner began driving. His gaze was fixated on the gate and deep down, he wanted to see Catherine walk out but he knew it was impossible.He sighed heavily, unable to shake off the numb feeling inside of him. For no reason, he suddenly wanted to see her and now she had rejected his offer to have a drink.“Get yourself together Jack, she’s just a school girl” He scolded his wolf as he placed a hand on his forehead. “What the heck am I doing? I’m Justin, the most eligible and handsome bachelor in the school with thousands of ladies obsequiating to my commands, she’s way out of my league and I shouldn’t be bothered with her. I’ve got models running after me, beautiful, stunning ones and I’
Catherine walked out of the class, heading to the cafeteria. Her stomach was rumbling and she could eat a lot of sandwiches.She went over to the desk, she made an order for two four sandwiches, fries, two apples and a Diet Coke. She bowed her head because the people around were staring at her with shock, the attendant had never seen a lady order so much and after getting her orders, she grabbed them, walking towards the empty table at a corner.It felt like everyone’s eyes were on her and it got her worked up. She had reduced the food a little and she knew she was going to still be hungry after eating all that but she didn’t want to get the attention of everyone in the school.She began eating slowly, her whole attention focused on the food as she ignored the people who gossiped about her.Martha, Lauren and Anita, the three musketeers of the school in another department entered the cafeteria and their eyes darted around, glowing with joy as they spotted Catherine who had just finish
Justin was waiting in his office when Conner dragged her inside. Her head was bowed and he sighed deeply.For no reason, he was furious that she stayed in the cafeteria and let herself get bullied but he tried to suppress his anger.“You can leave Conner” He muttered to Conner who nodded and left. She just stared at the ground and he could see tears dropping on the ground, she was sobbing silently which softened his heart.This was his first time caring for someone’s tears. Being a very fierce and ruthless man, he cared about himself alone but he was moved strangely and he moved close to her but she stepped back in fright.“Why? Why did you let yourself get bullied? You’re twice their size, why can’t you stand up for yourself?” He asked and she sniffed, raising her head to stare at him.Her eyes were puffy and her face red, it made his heart clench, he gritted his teeth, instinctively, he wanted to punish the perpetrators. “Stand up for myself in a school where everyone is against me
Walking out of his office, Catherine wanted to bury herself in the ground, it felt like the whole school was glancing at her and they all had something to mutter about.She knew the previous incident must have spread and more was spreading because she just walked out of his office.She had nothing left for the day so she headed home, it was the only place she felt safe in and she couldn’t tell which was worse between the school and the pack company, the two were the same because people were always against her.Arriving home, she wasn’t shocked to see Diana munching on snacks in the living room. She grunted a greeting and headed into her room. She was exhausted, hungry and she needed a lot of sleep.She entered the kitchen to get something before going to have a nap. She was fixing up a small meal when Diana walked inside, she glanced around restlessly as she put some things in order before walking out.She walked inside again, strolling around before heading out again. Catherine could
CatherineStaring at the menu he had given me yesterday,I couldn’t help but grin to myself foolishly. I can’t believe I’d be sticking to the menu. The menu was easy to follow and it felt like he was going very lightly on me because all it said was cut back on junk food, eat less sandwiches and take very little food with calories.It looked impossible to follow but I was determined to follow it diligently, I was going to make him proud…“What’s that?” Diana asked when she noticed that I was smiling and staring at the paper. “Nothing… Just a rough draft” I replied as I threw the paper in my bag immediately. I had lied about going for a walk yesterday and I didn’t want my cover to be blown.I felt guilty for lying to her but I needed to do this, for myself and Cora. “I’m off” I muttered as I walked out and she nodded without a word.Heading to school, I felt like a new person, I felt energized and refreshed. Professor Justin had just given me hope that I can be anybody I want.Througho
JustinStaring at the girls in the cafe, all I could see was how foolish they were. I was pissed beyond words and my fists were clenched in anger as I watched them.The way Catherine had dashed out with tears made me pity her a lot and I just felt like running after her to bring her into my arms just to wipe away her tears but foolish me was too weak to do that.The whole students were shocked to see me, they bowed their heads instantly in shame, trying to paint the black picture red but I had seen everything from the beginning.I walked away without a word, heading to the vice chancellor officer. I was here to tender my offer to teach twice a week but first, I’d like to discuss the bullying in the academy.These girls acted childishly and it made me wonder how they were able to make it here. Bullying should’ve stopped in college but seeing it happening among adults was very weird and it filled me with anger.I was using all my strength to keep a cool face but deep down, I wanted to g
CatherineI couldn’t stop sobbing. I didn’t create myself. It’s not my fault I’m chubby. Being chubby isn’t the end of the world, it doesn’t mean I’m less of a human or I don’t have feelings. I’ve got emotions like everyone. I’m just like everybody only with a big body but they make it seem like it’s a big problem.They make it seem like the goddess created a mistake and it hurts a lot. I can’t walk without someone saying something about me.I can’t be in a room without garnering attention to myself. What the heck is wrong with people? Why can’t they just get over the fact that I’m big and it’s not a crime.I feel like killing myself, maybe it’ll make the world a better place. Maybe if I stab myself to death then this would all end. All my life I’ve been bullied and now that I’m an adult that I think I can finally be at ease, it’s even worse.“What is my offense? Nobody has the ability to create but why do they body shame like they can create what’s better than the goddess’s creation
CatherineMy heart was beating heavily, I couldn’t look at his face because I felt embarrassed but strangely, he didn't say anything about it.“I don’t know… The mountain is huge and it’d take hours…” I muttered weakly, coming here felt like a mistake and I wished there was a way I could turn things around.“Don’t think too much, this should be a surprise but I’ll tell it to you, there’s something on top of that mountain that nobody can fathom, the goal of climbing the mountain is the great surprise, you wouldn’t regret it” He urged and I sighed.“You’re here already so why not climb and see what’s there?” Cora urged and I nodded.“Fine” I replied and he smiled as he walked ahead, leading me. I stared at the high mountain, it felt like a death sentence to climb it and I was even more worried about tripping because of my large body.“Common, I’ll tell you stories as we climb” He urged and I exhaled as I began climbing and honestly mountain climbers have got to be super
