"Good morning, students. I am your class teacher; Elizabeth. I will be taking your history and language classes." said...Miss Elizabeth.
𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑎 𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑢𝑙 𝑛𝑎𝑚𝑒...
𝐸𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑎𝑏𝑒𝑡ℎ...
𝑊𝑜𝑤, 𝐼 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑘𝑒𝑒𝑝 𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑛𝑎𝑚𝑒...
𝐸𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑎𝑏𝑒𝑡ℎ.. 𝐸𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑎𝑏𝑒𝑡ℎ.. 𝐸𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑎-
"Open your text books everyone." She said while writing something on the board.
𝑀𝑎𝑦𝑏𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑜𝑝𝑖𝑐 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦'𝑠 𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑜𝑛?
I looked around the class, most of the students were gossiping and I had hoped that no one would bother me 𝗯𝘂𝘁. . .
"Hey.. I am Alex. It's a pleasure to meet you, Eva." whispered the boy who was sitting next to me.
My ears perked up under my hat and I finally looked at him. "How do you know my name?" I asked.
"Um..I saw your name on your textbook so..." He looked away from me.
𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑑𝑖𝑑 𝐼 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑙𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔...?
Then the teacher; Miss Elizabeth started to take the attendance and I looked at the teacher.
𝑅𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡... 𝐼 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑔𝑜𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙 𝑦𝑜𝑢, 𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠... 𝐴𝑙𝑒𝑥 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑏𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑤𝑎𝑣𝑦 ℎ𝑎𝑖𝑟 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙𝑑 𝑒𝑦𝑒𝑠.
"Present." I said as the teacher said my name.
"You really shut their mouths out there." whispered Alex again.
I looked at him, confused, "Who's mouth? And when?"
He chuckled, "Those girls, infront of the locker rooms, remember?"
I bit my bottom lip, "I don't know why they were acting like that.."
He chuckled again then the teacher shushed us. Then I quietly looked down at my book as the teacher started the history class.
-𝗔𝗙𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦-
I put my book in my bag again and stood up. Then I looked around, wondering which class was next.
"It's maths class now." said none other than Alex.
I looked at him with a confused look.
He chuckled, "You look cute when you are confused."
𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡...? 𝐷𝑖𝑑 ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑚𝑒...?
𝐼𝑡 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙𝑠...𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒....
I wanted to wag my tail but WHY?!
No matter what I stayed calm and walked out of class, but then someone grabbed my arm and I turned around to see those girls again. My ears twitched as I heard the students gossip.
"What do you want?" I asked while pulling my arm away from her grip.
"Aren't you that girl in the morning?! " said a girl having blonde hair.
Her name was Claire. She was the leader. The other two girls were Carmen and Charlie. I remembered their names when the teacher was taking the attendance.
I was about to say something but then Alex popped up in between us.
"Leave her alone, Claire. She's new here." He said and I frowned.
𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑖𝑑𝑑𝑙𝑒?
Just then the maths teacher arrived.
He was wearing a well-ironed black suit. He looked really really really strict... Everyone took their seats and so did I.
Then the teacher introduced himself.
His name was Simon.
He said to call him teacher.
𝑊𝑒𝑙𝑙, 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝑎 𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑟, 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡...?
And as soon as the class started, he wrote some formulae on the board.
"Memorize all this formulas in 10 minutes." He said and sat down on his chair.
Everyone gossiped for a while but then the teacher shushed them. I quietly wrote down the formulas in my notebook and started to read them but I got distracted by Alex.
Instead of reading, he was balancing an eraser on top of other erasers.
𝐵𝑢𝑡 ℎ𝑜𝑤 𝑑𝑖𝑑 ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑠𝑜 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑦 𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑠?
I glanced around the class and noticed that most of the students didn't have their erasers.
𝐸𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑒𝑓...
I watched him for a while and chuckled quietly when all the erasers fell down.
"Here. Let me help." I whispered and within few seconds I made a tower of erasers.
He looked at me in surprise, "Whoa, you can't be a normal human."
My eyes widened a bit.
𝑊𝑎𝑖𝑡, ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝐴𝑁 𝑁𝑂𝑇 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝐼-
"I was just kidding." He chuckled.
𝑃ℎ𝑒𝑤..
I sighed in relief. He almost scared me for a second.
Then he chuckled again and I bit my bottom lip. But then the teacher made us stand up which took everyone's attention.
"I had told you to memorize the formulas not to chuckle." The teacher said while fixing his glasses.
Everyone chuckled, I looked at Alex as he looked at me too.
"Quiet everyone. And for you two, maybe you had memorized all the formulae so you started talking, hm?" The teacher raised an eyebrow.
I just tilted my head slightly while looking at the teacher.
𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑠 𝑤𝑎𝑦 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 ℎ𝑖𝑚...
"Well then, say the formulae one by one." He erased the formulas from the board.
"First you, what's your name?" he asked.
"Eva." I replied.
"Okay, Eva, say the formulas now." he maintained eye-contact with me.
I nodded and told all the formulas in a calm voice without any hesitation.
𝑌𝑒𝑠, 𝐼 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑏𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑖𝑙𝑦...
𝑀𝑎𝑦𝑏𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝐼 𝑎𝑚 𝑎 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑤𝑜𝑙𝑓?
And everyone was surprised when I said all the formulas.
"That was better than I expected. You can sit down and don't talk in the middle of class again. Now, your turn, Alex." he turned his gaze towards Alex while sat down quietly.
𝐻𝑒 𝑘𝑛𝑒𝑤 𝐴𝑙𝑒𝑥'𝑠 𝑛𝑎𝑚𝑒..? 𝑀𝑎𝑦𝑏𝑒 ℎ𝑒'𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑎 𝑛𝑒𝑤 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑟 𝐶𝑙𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑟 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑐- 𝐼 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑘𝑖𝑐- 𝐼 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔.
Then Alex started telling the formulas while hesitating a few times but he did tell all the formulas correctly.
I leaned on my hand while looking at him.
"You can improve more, Alex. Now sit down." said the teacher and Alex sat down with a small smile.
"Okay, class-" suddenly his cellphone started ringing, "Oh, excuse me for a minute." he walked out of the class while talking on his phone, "Hello, I am in class right now. Can you...." His voice faded as he went out of class.
I sighed in relief while resting my head on the desk and closed my eyes. But then I felt a hand reach out to me and I quickly sat straight while keeping my hands on my hat.
"What are you doing?" I frowned at Claire.
𝑊𝑎𝑠 𝑠ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑐ℎ 𝑚𝑦 ℎ𝑎𝑡?
"How can you be so rude to me?!" She grabbed my collar and made me stand up.
𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑟𝑢𝑑𝑒...?
𝑊𝑜𝑤...
"You are-" I got cut off by Alex, 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻.
"Claire, leave her alone." he moved Claire's hands away from my collar.
𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑢𝑝𝑡 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒?
"Why do you have to interrupt all the time?!" She shouted, but not so loud.
Then the teacher came back and she immediately went back to her seat while glaring at me. "I will deal with you later..." She whispered before sitting on her seat.
Alex sighed and whispered to me, "Are you okay?"
I frowned, "Why do you have to interrupt in the middle? I could handle her easily."
He sighed again and closed his eyes while keeping his head low.
𝑊𝑎𝑖𝑡... 𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝐼 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑔𝑢𝑖𝑙𝑡𝑦 𝑛𝑜𝑤?
"Is he mad at me..." I whispered and I quickly put my hand over my mouth as I realized that I whispered too loud!
He shook his head and looked down at the book. I sighed quietly and looked out of the window.
𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑎𝑚 𝐼 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 ℎ𝑖𝑚 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑤𝑎𝑦?
-- 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗣 --
𝗗𝗨𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗛 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞. . .
I followed the students to the cafeteria because I had no idea where it was. The school is really very very huge.
Then I sat down with my lunch, far from all the other students and my lunch was. . .
Sandwiches...
𝐶𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑𝑛'𝑡 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 𝑠𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑤𝑖𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠? 𝐴𝑡 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝐼 𝑤𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑏𝑒 ℎ𝑢𝑛𝑔𝑟𝑦 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑛𝑜𝑤.
I took a bite of my sandwich but then-
Alex sat down on a chair next to me, making me choke all of a sudden.
𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒?
"You okay?" He asked.
I drank some water and nodded.
"I hope you don't mind if I sit here." he said again while looking down.
"No..I don't mind..." I didn't look at him and continued to eat my lunch while holding back a sigh.
"Thankyou." He smiled and opened his lunchbox but then his smile faded away. "How am I supposed to feed her this..?" he whispered very quietly but I could hear it as I am a werewolf whispering.
𝑊𝑎𝑖𝑡, 𝑖𝑠 ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑒?! 𝐼𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑛'𝑡 𝑏𝑒!
I looked at him, "Ale-"
He quickly cut me off and said, "No, no, i-it's just I am allergic to pudding but t-the...um...m-maid, right! The maid. She doesn't know that I am allergic. And today mom was not at home so..."
I felt like he was lying...
𝐵𝑢𝑡 𝑚𝑎𝑦𝑏𝑒 𝐼 𝑎𝑚 𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔... 𝐻𝑒'𝑠 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑎 ℎ𝑢𝑚𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑓𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙𝑙.
So I shook it off and said, "It's okay. You can have some sandwich, if you are not allergic to them."
"No, I am not allergic to them. Thankyou." He nodded and slowly took one sandwich.
I also took a bite of my sandwich.
"It's good..." He said while chewing it.
I noticed that he was still thinking or maybe planning something.
"Try some pudding, please.. I hope, you are not allergic to them." he said while passing me the box.
I nodded but when I sniffed the pudding, it felt suspicious, as if some sort of chemical or powder was in it.
I did not want to eat it but I could not resist Alex's request. When I was about to take a bite, Alex watched me silently which made me feel even more suspicious.
But then suddenly, Claire arrived and snatched the tiffin box from me.
"How can you eat so peacefully after being my enemy?" she said while holding the box on her hands.
𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑔𝑖𝑟𝑙 𝑎𝑓𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑚𝑒? 𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝑤𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑒𝑠?
𝑊𝑜𝑤, 𝐼 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑔𝑜𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡.
"Wait, don't eat that!" Alex tried to snatch the box from her.
"Shut up, you jerk!" she tried to pull it back.
But when both of them were pulling from two sides, the pudding jumped out of the box and fell on the floor while I bit my bottom lip.
𝑃𝑜𝑜𝑟 𝑝𝑢𝑑𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔...
Alex looked down at the pudding with a slightly open mouth before looking at Claire with anger in his eyes.
"Look what you did!" He grabbed her collar and everyone else gasped.

"Someone is angry, huh? Well, I am not sorry!" She pushed him away and huffed, "You ruined my mood." she fixed her collar while walking away and muttering, "I will deal with you later.."
He clenched his fists while looking down.
"Alex, calm down.." I whispered while eating my sandwich.
He put his hand on his face and sighed.
"I am sorry.. please give me another chance.." he whispered and then I saw a shadow vanish beside him.
Before I could say anything else, the bell rang and everyone went to class. Even Alex went to class without waiting for me...
