ROGER WILLISThe glowing in Idris and Yannick’s eyes were brighter than the flashlight coming from our phones. I saw Yannick initially had the upper hand sitting on top of Idris, his hands were wrapped around his neck.“IDRIS!” I screamed out at the top of my lungs. Yannick quickly turned his head to gather some vision on who just screamed.I didn’t know that my scream was a bit helpful as it took a few second of distraction. Idris took advantage of the small opportunity that I provided and veered over. With a snappy reaction, he landed a punch right on Yannick’s jaw and with that, Idris made use of his legs to alter the situation in his favor. I didn’t know he was also a gymnast of some sort because he managed to lock Yannick’s neck using both of his legs.“What in the hell are you doing here, Willis?” Idris hollered at me.“I came here to help you.” Clutching my crutches, I began taking a step closer.“I didn’t ask for your help.”As I was about to approach them, I felt something he
ROGER WILLIS “Did you just say werewolf whisperer?” Blinking in utter confusion, I glued my eyes over at Idris. I won’t necessarily say that I’ve learned everything that’s there to learn about being a clawed and fanged creature, however, I was exactly right when I said there are a bunch of shit that I don’t know yet. “They are an incredibly rare hybrid of werewolves who could tame other werewolves using their special voices.” Idris recited providing a background of what should I know about a werewolf whisperer. “B-but how?” “Essentially speaking, it’s a dog whistle. Dog whistles don’t create sound when you blow them, only dogs could hear the sound.” I shifted my focus on Ysabella and Benjie who were both still under whatever spell Yannick’s beta has put them under. It’s totally peculiar how they’re the only ones who’s affected by this when we should all be hearing whatever sound Lanna was producing. Isn’t that how whistles work? “But why are we not affected by it?” I inquired pur
“Is that everyone?” She asked looking at the whole class over her thick glasses. I was about to raise my hand to let her know about my existence when she suddenly remembered it. “Oh, I almost forgot. I was informed that we have a new kid around.”“That would be me.” I raised my hand in the air as a quick reaction. Everyone turned around to look at me.“Ah yes, you’re the new kid. You might be Roger Willis?”“Yes, ma’am!!”“I’m Divine Farrow and welcome to Viridian Falls High.” Mrs. Farrow stood up and went to door before eventually closing it. “We haven’t had any new students in a very long while. Would you mind coming in front and introduce yourself for the rest of the class.”I swallowed hard when I heard her say those words. I just said my name and I don’t even need to go in front but I was being instructed to. I proppe
Bringing up Norman made me feel terrible about myself and the way I chose things to go. I know he’s the first guy that I met and he, for the most part just told me about what I needed to know in this town and yet I chose to hang out with the cool kids.“Oh great.” My mom squealed seemingly thrilled. “I also met the Clarke’s yesterday and they were a pretty lovely couple. Stephanie was just a sweet lady and Roman was just a caring husband.”“Hey dad,” I called out thinking if I could ask my dad for a simple favor just for today. “Is it okay if you drop me to school for today?”“Er, sure son, but we need to leave early because I have to drive far before I get to work.” He replied. “Oh and by the way, I just tracked your bicycle and it’s going to be delivered tomorrow.” Dad added basically letting me know that I’m not going to be walking.
uneditedI instantly felt embarrassed knowing that’s probably me but I acted cool. I was just thinking about what Carmine Reid said to me about me smelling like a rotting dog yesterday. I did take a shower this morning though I had to be very careful about my wounded shoulder and chest.“What? I don’t smell a thing.” Charlotte who was putting some make up on her face butted in.“Well that’s probably because its covered up by the smell of your desperation for Reggie.” Ysabella replied poking fun out of her.The girls all laughed except for Charlotte who looked pretty much embarrassed of the situation. Perhaps she and Reggie had something going on but they were just shy to talk about it.“The only thing that I’m smelling right now is Josephine’s halitosis.” Florence added while everyone looked at this girl who happen to be passing by.“Hey, Josephine!!!!!” Ysabella called her out.“What is it now, shortie?” Josephine replied giving out a disgusted look.“I know what you ate for breakfas
uneditedJust when I got to my seat, our English teacher entered the room. Great, I don’t have to sit down here for quite a longer moment and wait for the class to start. The whispering is getting intense, not that I can hear them but I can see their mouths blabbering some stuff that I can’t quite decipher.“Good morning Mrs. Farrow.” Everyone greeted in unison.“Let me check the attendance first,” Mrs. Farrow sat down in front and began reading names from the roster.“Arlow,”“Present…”“Bolton…..Boyle…..Cargill…..Clarke…..Doran…Raddix”Mrs. Farrow went on and it seemed that everyone was present as they all answered as their last name was called.I was waiting for Mrs. Farrow to say Willis right after mentioning Williams but she stopped and that seemed to be t
UneditedI couldn’t get myself to sleep at night and that’s mostly because I am locked in this claustrophobic prison of confusion. I couldn’t stop thinking about the conversation that I had with Mr. Lykaios at the clinic. He must be on crack or some shit when he mentioned those things about werewolves. What’s next? Witches and fairies? I don’t think so. I don’t intend on believing him at all. And then there’s Carmine Reid giving me these cryptic messages and she even said I smelled like a rotting dog. I know I didn’t take a shower yesterday because I was feeling awfully sick but those are very specific descriptions that I don’t think even matches how I smelled.In addition to all of that, I could hear my mom and dad arguing about the very same shit for the nth time. Their room was very far from my room and I’m sure the walls in this house are way thicker than what we had from our old house but I
UneditedEverything that happened to me so far wasn’t fun. I haven’t been in this town for more than a month and yet a lot has already happened. When I first got here in this town, I was just a human or in Idris’ words, a mere mortal and then the next thing I know, I’m a monster now. There’s literally too much to unpack and honestly, I’m still trying to let everything that I learned sink in. I never had the chance to have a peaceful weekend and process all of this werewolf bullshit.When I got home, taking a long and hot shower was the best thing that I did. I had to wash all of the blood stains and the stinking smell of the raw deer that I just consumed earlier. That was most probably the grossest thing that I had to do in my entire existence. I clearly don’t want to devour that raw shit like how I did but my body seemed to have its own brain and they were moving on their own. I already wanted to puke everything
