ABBY“Abby! Wake up!” Ashley, my twin sister yelled in my ear. This was her third attempt at trying to wake me up for school.“Can't you take a hint?” I used my pillow to cover my ears from the noise. I wasn't in the mood to go to school. I peeped open one eye to glance at my sister. She was already dressed up for school. Her long curly brown hair was packed in a ponytail and she wore a bright yellow dress that complemented her skin tone. She looked like a ray of sunshine, but it was more like a cloudy day.She stood at the end of my bed with her hands on her hips, tapping her foot impatiently."Come on, Abby, you can't skip school again. You've been doing it all week," she said, raising her voice."I know, I know," I muttered, burying my face deeper into my pillow. "But I just can't handle it today. I'm exhausted and I don't feel like facing the world."“You need to start taking responsibility for your actions. Skipping school will only make things worse for you in the long run." She
ABBYI couldn't sleep. I was lying in bed, tossing and turning, as my body felt like it was on fire. I was growing hair in places I had never seen hair before. It was like my body was going through some kind of metamorphosis. I was losing control of it.And I was scared. I had to tell someone. But who?I sat up in bed and looked over at Ashley, who was sleeping soundly. Ashley was the only one who always knew my secret. I decided to let her in on what was going on. Maybe she would understand "Hey, Ash?" I whispered.Ashley stirred and opened her eyes. "What's up, Abby?"“Can I talk to you about something?”“Sure, Abs. What's going on?" Ashley asked"I can't sleep. I don't know how to say this but I feel like I'm changing, like something is happening to me." I said, my voice shakyAshley sat up and turned on the bedside lamp. "What do you mean?""I've been experiencing strange changes. I'm growing hair in unusual places, and my senses are so sharp. And I've been having these vivid ni
ABBYI walked out of the cafeteria, hoping to avoid any drama between Trevor. But as luck would have it, I found myself face-to-face with Trevor in the hallway. He moved closer to me, and I felt myself getting trapped between him and the wall."I need to talk to you," he said, his voice low and intense.My heart started racing, and I could feel my palms getting sweaty. "What do you want to talk about?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Trevor looked at me with those dark, intense eyes of his. "I know this might sound crazy, but I find you attractive," he said.I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Why would someone like Trevor be interested in me? Who did he think he was, coming on to me like this? Did he really think that I was some kind of pushover?“What do you want from me?" I asked him, my voice taking on a feisty edge.Trevor looked at me, his expression unreadable. "I just want to get to know you better," he said.I rolled my eyes. "And why should I let you?" I shot b
ASHLEY I came running into the garden clearing as the sun began to rise, my heart pounding with worry. When I saw Abby lying on the ground, I gasped in horror. Her body was covered in fur, and her hands had transformed into large, furry paws with sharp claws."Abby, what happened? Are you okay?" I asked, my voice trembling with fear.She tried to speak, but all that came out was a low growl. It was then that I realized the truth - Abby had fully shifted into a wolf."Oh my god," I whispered, my mind reeling. "You're a werewolf."As Abby let out a mournful howl, I knew that everything had changed. We had always been close, but now there was something fundamentally different about my sister. Something dangerous.Abby's howls grew quieter, and her body began to calm down. Slowly, she started to shift back to her human form.It was a strange and surreal experience to watch her change back. Her fur receded, and her claws retracted as her limbs and body reshaped themselves back into her hu
ABBYAfter the whole drama with Cara, rumors were spreading like wildfire throughout the school that I was some kind of forbidden creature. I tried to ignore the rumors about me, but they were everywhere. People whispered that I was some sort of creature, a werewolf or something even stranger. I mean didn't people have better things to do with their lives than poking their nose into others business.As the day went on, the rumors only got worse. Someone wrote mean words on my locker, calling me a monster and a freak. There was no way I was going to escape this bullying.I heard someone whispering about me as I walked down the hallway. "Hey, watch out for Abby," they said. "She's not human." It was just a passing comment, but it hit me hard. I felt like I was being singled out and ostracized for something that wasn't even my fault.As if the rumors and mean words weren't enough, Tiffany decided to take it upon herself to make my life even more miserable. She came up to me during lunc
ABBYI woke up this morning thinking about Trevor, my mind still lingering on the moment he came close to me yesterday. I could hear his heartbeat clearly, and it made my own heart beat faster. The memory of his scent and the way his eyes sparkled when he smiled were still fresh in my mind.I couldn't shake the feeling that I was making a huge mistake by pushing him away. But my life was too complicated now, and I didn't want him to be drawn into it.I didn't want to go to school today, but Ashley wouldn't let me stay. She was determined to drag me to school with her.I tried to protest, but Ashley was relentless. "You can't hide from them forever," she said, her voice firm. "You have to face everyone and show them you're not a monster."But she was wrong. I was a monster. And deep down, I knew that going to school today would only make things worse. The other kids would whisper behind my back and call me names, just like they always did. They would never understand what it was like t
ABBYI walked into the bustling cafeteria with Jasmine and Ash, my eyes scanning the crowd for any sign of Trevor but I couldn't see him anywhere."Hey Jaz, would you guys like to sit with me over there today?" Ashley asked, gesturing towards the "cool kids' table" while intentionally keeping her gaze on Jasmine and avoiding eye contact with me."Sit with you over there? Of course," Jasmine replied, smiling widely like an excited child."Well, I would love to sit with you," I said with a heavy dose of sarcasm, "but I have to find Trevor. Apparently, we need to talk."I made sure to emphasize the word 'talk' in a way that made it clear that the conversation was going to be far from pleasant."I can't see Trevor anywhere," Jasmine whispered, tugging on my sweater.I looked around the bustling cafeteria, my eyes scanning the sea of students for any sign of Trevor. But he was nowhere to be found.I wondered where he was. Maybe I was supposed to meet him somewhere else? I racked my brain,
ABBYWhen we got home, our mom was making pasta. Ashley went to meet her in the kitchen, while I went straight to my room. As Ashley chatted away with our mom in the kitchen, I slumped down on my bed, feeling drained from the long day at school. The sound of their voices drifted through the walls, and I could hear snippets of their conversation."How was school, darling?" Mom asked.Ash, always one to share everything, chimed in eagerly. “There's a new boy named Blake, he looks dangerous.”Ash told her about the whole drama in the cafeteria and the tension between David and Blake.Not wanting to listen to their conversation, I brought out my copy of Macbeth and started reading it.As I dove into the world of Macbeth, the sounds of the kitchen faded into the background. I found myself lost in the words, the characters, and the intricate plot.But as I read on, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The play was dark, filled with themes of betrayal and murder. It was a far cry fro
