She tried listening in class but her struggle was useless, she looked as though she was attentive but deep down she felt uncomfortable as if all eyes were in her and she was center of their attention and she couldn't help but imagine how badly they thought of her in their minds
Finally, half of the classes for her day was over and it was break time, she got into the lunch hall in the school and picked a seat for herself and Lucie.
"You still come to eat as fat as you are"
"She's such a throe"
"You can't even seat well, it's like you got so much flesh that your ass don't need a seat"
"Don't bother going to that table, you might smell like her if you go too close"
"She looks satisfied even before she could get some lunch" they laughed as they passed
They said lot of mean things but she didn't turn to look at them because her tears might show and they will get satisfaction by just seeing her cry so she decided to stay still and wait for them to pass "but how long can you wait" a mind spoke to her.
"Hey, is that tears I see?" Lucie said as she took a seat by Mira's side
"Shuuu, they might hear you" Mira said
"Who?" Lucie turned around but no one was near them
Mira raised her head and looked around too but no one was there "was I just imagining things?" She asked herself
"You are mentally drained" Lucie said
"I need to see my therapist, it's been long I had a meeting with her" Mira said and sighed
"You're just recalling all those nonsense in the past, you're beautiful Mira don't believe otherwise" Lucie tried to encourage her
"Thanks for always trying to lift me up, I'm sorry, I feel like a burden to you" Mira said
"It's nothing, let's eat and get to our remaining class for the day" Lucie replied
Mira dried up her eyes and joined Lucie, when they were done with their lunch they went back to class.
Mira didn't bother to look at her seat before seating down, as she sat down she felt something wet and sat back up, the entire class started laughing at her, she turned to see what was there, it was red paint, it made it seem like she was stained with blood.
"What's going on?" Mrs Lucy asked
The lady walked up to Mira and saw what was making the class noisy but she misunderstood everything
"What's the meaning of this Mira" she asked
"Ma'am I ..."
"Leave the class, you're such a mess" she didn't even let her explain
Mira ran out of the class in tears, she felt so embarrassed and hurt, what can she do but cry.
When she got to the rest room she watched the stain out and changed her gown into her sport wear she carried to wear after school to the gym she planned to enroll in today, but plans changed and she had to go back to her therapist to help herself control her inferiority complex.
She left school immediately and went to her therapist office which was quit close to her house. "Hi Mrs Judy" she greeted as the lovely old lady opened the door for her
"Oh dear, I thought I won't be seeing you again" she said
"I thought I've grown over my demons but it seems like they came back" Mira said
"I feel so sad for you, only what can make them come back is if things are repeating it's self" Mrs Judy said and she gestured for Mira to take a seat
"I don't know" Mira replied
"It's okay dear child, we will go through it together, I'm always here for you okay?" Mrs Judy said
"Thanks" Mira nodded and sniffed
"Now tell me what is the latest issue" Mrs Judy asked
"I hear alot of voices telling me how much they hate me, it's as if this part of the world is not for me, they talk like I'm not human as they like they are seeing something else they hate in me" Mira tried her best to explain even as she was at the verge of tears
"It's okay dear one, you have to tell yourself that you are non of those things" Mrs Judy said
"I've tried, it doesn't work, it works for just a while" Mira complained
"Let's try it this way" Mrs Judy stopped to think for a little bit before she continued
"Why do you believe what they say is true, it means you believe that's why you are reacting this way, but if you don't believe you will stand to defend who you really are deep down, that you are a beautiful, innocent yet smart child" Mrs Judy said
"I feel you're just saying that because you pity me, it's not true. I look at myself in the mirror and I don't know what to feel or thing, I'm just blank so I feel my thought with the description they give of me" Mira replied
"No, that's not how it's done, I'm not also saying this because I feel pity for you, it's because it's the truth and you fail to see it" Mrs Judy pushed on the fact so that Mira can try and understand her perspective of things
"I don't no" Mira said sadly
"You need to learn to love yourself if you want to really walk through the healing process" Mrs Judy said
Mira had nothing to reply so she stayed quiet
"What do you hate about yourself?" Mrs Judy asked
"I hate that I am fat" Mira said
"Just that?" Mrs Judy asked
"Yes, only that" she replied
"Great, let's start from there. Why don't you find a way to get yourself look just how you would love" Mrs Judy said
"You think that will change things?" Mira asked
"It might not change things, because people hate without good reasons they might find something else to hate on when it's gone, but the good thing in that change is that you will get to learn to love yourself " Mrs Judy explained
"I thought of enrolling in a gym" she replied
"That's a big step, I like the idea" Mrs Judy smiled, fat wasn't healthy for anyone after all.
"Thanks" Mira said
"There is one just a few blocks away, you can register today and start tomorrow" Mrs Judy said
"Good idea" Mira got back her smile on her face as she said and stood up
"See you tomorrow" Mrs Judy said and walked Mira out of the office
"Thanks again" Mira said before taking off to her next stop
She got inside the building and asked for details in how to register in the gym, they put her through and gave her days she would be attending and she negotiated price with them before leaving, ones she was out of the building she sighed and placed a smile back on her face, she started trying to be better for herself.
When she got home her mum had prepared dinner and was waiting for her, there was worry written all over her face when she saw her daughter walk in.
"Lucie told me what happened," her mum rushed to her
"I'm fine mum" Mira said
"Oh dear, I can't imagine how you felt" her mum said
"Honestly mum I was so embarrassed at first, but after my meeting with Mrs Judy I feel better" Mira explained
"You went to see Mrs Judy?" Her mum asked to be sure if she heard right
"Yea" Mira nodded and took a seat at the stool by the kitchen counter
"That's great" her mom said and smiled
They eat and called it a night, Mira went up to her room and did some catching up on her studies before going back to bed, just before she closed her eyes she jumped out of bed to get the book she was reading last night and say some positive things to herself so that she would get a peaceful night rest.
"My body is healthy, and I’m grateful" she started
"I’m more at ease every day"
"I’m calm, happy, and content"
"My life is a gift and I appreciate everything I have"
"I surround myself with positive people who will help bring out the best in me"
"I don’t need someone else to feel happiness"
"I’m allowed to take time to heal"
"All is well"
"The point of life is balance, not perfection"
"I choose not to criticize myself or others around me"
"My potential to succeed is limitless"
She ended and laid back down on her bed with acceptance of all she had read.
Anyone who knew him probably thought that he answered to no one and a few month ago he had strongly believed that too. He was Alexander Rowanni afterall. Alpha leader of the Wan tribe, one of the largest tribes in Moonsville. Up until this point, his life hadn't exactly been perfect but his life has been his to do whatever he so wished. Till he had been summoned by The council. No one really knew who the members of the council really were. They didn't show their identity to anyone. Not even the Alphas. Alex younger self was on the calm side during his days in school, though he was popular but he was never the show off noisy kind of guy, his life in school went by fast, he had a lot to do when he took over from his father, he was too young when his parents died so he had to grow up fast for the sake of leadership and holding his family name up. Presently, he is off age but without a mate, and he refuses to look for one with his many excuses that he makes up because he have never bee
His wolf's shouts in his head as well as the overwhelming sweet scent that flooded his senses almost knocked him off his feet. It was a feeling foreign to him but it cosumed him. He had no idea when he transformed to his wolf self and was already racing to the direction of the scent before he realized what he was doing. His realisation did nothing to slow him down as he just kept running. He didn't understand what was going on all he knew was his mate was here in this measly human town.His. Mate.He watched her as she walked into a place he didn't know what it was called as in the human town, he read on the entrance "gymnastics and body fitness training" "What is she doing here?" He entered and followed her but she didn't notice anyone there.He sat down and studied all that was going on, he didn't want to just walk up to a stranger so he stared at her from the distance.Mira started off with jugging to warm up herself as she settled into the atmosphere at the gym. Her instructor di
She stood there speechless as the remaining two wolves disappeared bowing to black one while it stared at her. Miranda was scared of it, that it might jump through her window and rip her head off so she didn't dare move. She couldn't move.The wolf stared at her for a few more minutes before finally taking his gaze from her and running into the forest, leaving her there, shaking in fear of what she had just witnessed.She was able to pull herself from the side and almost ran back to her bed, she jumped up back to go and shut her windows, when she felt a bit safe and separated from what is in the forest she went back to bed and covered herself including her head, she closed her eyes tightly together so that she could sleep but the beats from her heart was thunderous and it didn't let her sleep, how is it even possible to sleep after what she just saw, it might hunt her in her dreams, she thought of keeping her eyes closed but it was as if she was seeing those eyes from the wolf again
Mira fought hard to stylishly avoid the swarm of students in the hallway, as she made her way to her locker. She wasn't the most popular girl in the school and she had come to accept her identity as a nobody.Not until she found Blake, the most popular boy in the school, and quarterback for the school's football team, standing seductively in front of her locker, waving at her.Mira pinched herself three times before she stood head to chest in front of him. Even in her ponytail, she still couldn't pass his chest. Cold sweat broke out of her temples, and it took everything in her not to touch his face to be sure that he was really standing in front of her.Oh my gosh he looks even more divine in person. He definitely looks hotter close up than watching him from far through all the eleven games he had played on the school's football team so far. My question now is, what the fuck is he doing here?!She shakily finger-combed through her hair. She cursed herself inwardly for not using her
The scorching sun threatened to fry any skin that dared to stand underneath it, but after about fifteen minutes, the sun began to set. It was a most beautiful sunset, casting a golden glow on the entire earth in its wake. Mira stood at the court anxious, excited, scared. It was a barrage of emotions. She wasn't sure what to expect from her private meeting with the most popular boy in school. Yet, she was super happy to be talking privately with her life long crush. She bit her index fingers feverishly and had to forcefully stop herself when she noticed she had started bleeding around her cuticles. After waiting for what seemed like an hour, she resigned her fate and assumed he wasn't coming anymore.'I was so excited that I forgot to carry my phone from my locker. I don't even know what the time is and mom might start worrying about me. I guess I'll just go back home now. I don't know why I thought the cutest boy in school was suddenly interested in me. I guess they were all right
They got to their locker and took the books they would be using today out, and went to their first class which was literature."Get seated" the teacher said ones he came in, he was referring to the guys he met seating on their desk instead of the chairs"We are being the discussion class about Hamlet, Mira read for me, I like your tone expression with how you read the first part for us in out class yesterday, it impressed me" her literature teacher saidShe stood up after summoning confidence "According to his plan, Hamlet begins to act strangely. He rejects Ophelia, while Claudius and Polonius, the royal attendant, spy on him. They had hoped to find the reason for Hamlet's sudden change in behaviour but could not. Claudius summons Guildenstern and Rosencrantz, old friends of Hamlet to find out what's got into him. Their arrival coincides with a group of travelling actors that Hamlet happens to know well. Hamlet writes a play which includes scenes that mimic the murder of Hamlet's fa
Mira left school immediately it was over to meet with her lovely understanding therapist."Hey darling, come in" Mrs Judy said as she saw Mira"Thanks ma'am" she said and walked into the office"Take a seat don't mind the many throw pillows" she cleared it out for Mira "my husband bought it to keep me company" the old laughed chuckled"That's hilarious" Mira laughed"He could be like that some times" she said and took a seat opposite Mira to begin the section "That's really nice, at least you can have a comfortable rest on them" Mira said"Yea" Mrs Judy nodded "okay, let's begin. How have things been working out for you in school?" She asked"It's been fine, I feel a bit of confidence these days. And when I read I'm able to concentrate better" she said and smiled at the evidence of growth"How about others around you in school?" Mrs Judy asked"Some of my teachers had praised me for my improvement and my mates well" she shrugged "they are still mean but I just ignore them" she explai
Mira had settled in and was about to start eating when the object of her fantasy appeared in front of her. She pinched herself to be sure that he was real and when the image didn't disappear, she carefully stood up and smiled. She hoped she wasn't visibly drooling as she tore her eyes off his godly build that pressed tightly against his shirt.The guy looked at her with curiosity as he walked towards her, one of his hands deep in his pockets. As he got closer to her the sweet intoxicating smell got stronger driving him crazy. Her heart beat quickened as he stopped only a foot away from her and takes in another sniff like dogs do. He continues to stare at her as he extends his hand out, “Alex.” He said and his voice came out husky. And fucking hot! She thought as she flashed him her brightest smile.The innocent girl in front of him looks down at his hand, her gorgeous blonde hair pulled back in a pony tail behind her.“Miranda.” She said and placed her hand in his and immediately s
