All I could think about was Spadeville. I couldn’t eat a thing this morning as I travelled from my home to this beautiful college. I haven’t quite gotten there, but I was insanely anxious as to what to expect when I actually got there. I looked out of the window, and was mesmerised by the sparse vegetation. It was so beautiful, and the wind tussled my hair in all the right places, making me constantly slide it across my face, to the back of my earlobe. It bounced back each time like the troublesome strands it was. A smile touched my lips, as I watched a couple of bubbly people going around their works. It looked just like home, with its rush hour soaring through the skies. “How far are we heading towards Spadeville?” I asked the designated driver. The radio was lowered slightly, which I hadn’t been ardently listening to. “We are almost there, Ma’am,” he shouted. I nodded as I may gaze transfixed on a young woman scolding a girl of about 8. The cute pumpkin had a soft pout on
There was a slight twinkle visible in Chloe’s eyes. It was strangely relaxing. I have always heard that there were people who made friends so quickly, and I hadn’t believed that, but now I did. The way Chloe fussed over me as I wondered what to wear to the event was mildly electrifying. I’ve had a few friends, but they weren’t like Chloe. She was becoming a hurricane. “So, have you thought of what to wear?” She asked calmly. My gaze shifted to the three outfits on the bed. One was a hyper short gown, the other, a Jump suit that would need a T-shirt to cover up my skin, and the last was, a skirt that was slit till the thigh to create a statement. All three were absolutely breathtaking, but they weren’t my style.\ “I don’t like them,” I said flatly. Chloe gave me a look. “I don’t get that. Aren’t they your clothes? Why don’t you like them?” I shrugged. “The last two are from my best-friend and the other is from my mom. Mom claimed I needed to unwind here in college, and these
Siting in the midst of the crowd was beyond electrifying. The sounds of laughter was so soothing, and completely warming. I wasn’t sure I remembered half of what Chloe had said, or the names of her friends. I was too far gone with my drink to. Chloe had swapped the fruity drink Ian had given me, with a tonic mixture that tasted slightly sweet. The alcohol was really doing wonders to me now. “By this night, I’m certain that we would get laid,” one of the girls said in a high-pitched voice. I laughed. “You don’t look the type,” I blurted out. Well in all honesty, she didn’t. Not that she wasn’t beautiful, but she carried herself like a granny with her button-tight blouse and the long jean trouser she had on, she was simply out of fashion. Her hair made it a whole worse. She looked like a brown mouse. “Hey,” she said, visibly hurt by my words. “I’m telling you, I could give you a run for your money. I’m very hot and persuasive when I want to be,” she said stubbornly, There was
The lilies were so clear and beautiful as they surrounded me in the garden. I bent low as my flowery gown swayed in the breeze in a bid to pick one of them from the stems. My fingers grazed it, only for them to morph into shoots. I gasped as I jumped away from it. I watched as they turned into shoot, stems, branches, and woods, and then standing before me were trees with white leaves as its embrace. They were so tall and mildly terrifying. I turned away from it, hoping to go away from it all, but found a dark wolf with soulless eyes staring right at me. I stared at it with an equal intensity that almost made me paralysed with fear. When would it jump at me? Maybe never. The more I looked, the more it seemed I was drawn to it. And, that made a lump to form in my throat. “Get away from me!” I screamed, as my eyes fluttered open. I could feel the tears flowing wildly on my face, and my heart beating so wildly. I placed a hand on my chest to stop the panic, as I sat up on the be
Teats dropped from my eyes in torrents, and I made no move to clean it off. I was still so distraught and heartbroken. Spadeville was looking more like a nightmare, than a heaven. In just a day, my hope of being myself, and living my best life has been quashed under foot, and going back to my home wasn’t looking like a great idea. The worst was that I didn’t know who to trust. I was going crazy wondering why all these were happening to me. It’s so beyond awful what was going one. Why me? In the thousands of people that gathered around the camp fire, the rogue had chosen me. It didn’t make sense. Or, maybe it did. I shouldn’t have gone deep into the woods that night. It was madness. I let me head rest on the bed-post. This family were claiming a hell lot, and I need to be sure that they were correct. And, how did they know that it was a were-wolf and not a wolf. Their explanations were not adding up. The door creaked open, and Mike came it with fruits, and tea. Behind him, his par
The walk to the hostel was faster than was normal. I shelved it as my eagerness to see the normal world once more. It seemed like it has been weeks since I lost consciousness. And, that was a bit alarming. At the hostel, I only met a handful of people and they were all wearing dark glasses. It seemed as if the whole school had turned up for that campfire, and not just the freshers. I lowered my head down as I moved. I don’t know why, but I didn’t want them to see my face. I honestly believed that I’ve changed. It was the craziest feeling because I was still wearing the same clothes, but it was as real as breathing for me. The door to our room was closed, and I had to knock because I had no idea where my spare key was. There was no sound from the room, and I wondered if Chloe was actually in there at all. A couple of girls slid past, also wearing the absurd glasses. They looked at me like I didn’t quite fit into the whole things. Well, I didn’t. But, it bothered me that I didn’t. I
Monday! It was Monday! This meant that it was actually my first day of knowing what being an undergraduate at Spadeville college meant. I had a deep feeling it wasn’t all merry-go-lucky. Chloe had gone to school an hour ago. She had claimed she couldn’t afford to be late on her first day, which didn’t make much sense because her class wasn’t starting till 9 am. Well, some people were punctual freaks. I checked the time, and I noted I had only 30 minutes more. It was just 6:30 in the morning, Strangely, there was no hint of dusk around the corner. Everywhere was still pitch black. I threw books in my backpack, and then hung it at my back. I was about to leave when a growl sounded. I frowned. Was the animal near me again? I retreated back into the room, and grabbed my pocket knife, stuffing it in my pocket. I was about to lock the door, when a conscious part of me, noted that the sound came from me. I gasped in horror. This was slowly getting out of hand. “Did you hear that?” On
Ian smile was calm, and breathtaking as it centred at me, and somehow I wish I didn’t meet him. He didn’t deserve to meet a human, who had the intense potential of turning into a werewolf, but I couldn’t also leave because that was rude. Ian had been nothing, but accommodating with me. I tried to put on a smile which didn’t look at all like me in the least, and then walked over to him. It was quite evident he was a bit known because a few of the girls were looking at us curiously. “Maya, come on.” He called out. I stopped in front of the desk. “Thanks, but I think…” “I think you should eat. I saved you some burgers and a healthy coke. You would need something in that stomach of yours. This is Spadeville dear. If you don’t eat, you can’t function here,” he pointed out smartly. I sighed as I sat down on the table with him. The smell of junk food made my lip salivate. Ian was right. I was so beyond hungry right now. I tentatively unwrapped the burger, and dug into it as classy as I
