Leo turned over on the bed. There was this annoying sound coming from the table next to his bedside. He flung his hands out of the bedsheets and onto the table. One decision in mind.
'I will freaking break that piece of shit'
The alarm clock continued to ring, vibrating and moving away from his hand, running for it's analogy life but Leo was determined to catch it. The clock made a decision too. Better to take it's own life than let this great evil get hold of it.
Leo extended his hand further enough to grab the clock It tripped over the edge of the table immediately and fell on the floor but it could not die as it had planned. The lazy Leo had, at this point, become fed up with this. He threw the sheets up and slipped out of bed. Half asleep, he walked over to the clock dancing on the floor and picked it up, switching it off.
"Man, I hate alarms." He muttered to himself and turned, moving to lie back on the bed.
"What is the freaking time anyway that you are making so much noise," his ass pressed on the sheets. He turned the upside down clock to his face and took a glance at the clock, looking away Immediately.
"Tsk, it's just Six thirty in the morning." He dropped the clock back on the table.
"Making noise over something so sim…" His voice turned into a mumble as he straightened up on the soft foam.
"Its not like today is the first day of college." He closed his eyes.
'Wait'
He wrenched his body up.
"Its July 15th. SHIT!." He flew out bed and out of his clothes Immediately.
School starts by Seven thirty. If he went any later, he would suffer the curse of the first day.
Meanwhile, just next door, Elish lay curled up on the floor like he had found solace that would last forever. Completely blacked out from yesterday. He did not even flinch even when his alarm was blazing and announcing Seven o'clock.
Leo raced downstairs, practically jumping the stairs. His bag in hand, knockoff Gucci shorts and a big basketball jacket. He had zipped it up so Mr. Parker would not see he had only a light tan top inside which hugged and revealed every detail of his ab region.
Mrs. Parker was already by the table, still trying to set it up for breakfast. Leo crashed in to the head chair the instant she turned to pick up something. She flinched looking directly at him.
"Are you mad?!"
she flung her Brit accent at him. He dodged. "Mum, am frea… am really late for school. It's the first day, I cannot believe am gonna be late."
Mrs. Parker was still looking at her son whose eyes flashed around the table to find what to lift and run outside with.
"What about breakfast?" she still asked even though she knew what was his plan.
"Maaa, I ain't got time for that."
He had spotted toast and was stuffing one into his mouth, the other into a nylon bag he had seen on the table.
Mrs. Parker was giving him the stink eye now. Leo tied up the nylon, threw it into his bag and turned his head; he met his Mum's eyes.
"Desperate measures, Ma."
He was beside her Immediately; bending over, he gave her a kiss on the cheek with bread in his mouth. Mrs. Parker sweetened Immediately he did that. Leo was leaving her now and making long strides towards the exit door.
"Are you not forgetting something?"
Leo screeched to halt. He twirled fast to face her. He made a hand gesture of 'what exactly?'
"Where is Elish?"
Mr. Parker walked into the room, the words came before him though. Leo had twisted to face his dad. He saw the seriousness in his eyes. His bright cheerful self turned into a gloomy bloke. It was happening all over again. He was prepared for school but he was going to have to wake and wait of his brother.
'Perfect'
LEO
I swear I was going to kill him when I see his bloody face. Like who freaking sleeps in the morning of school. The first day if school for that matter. Like who does that…
I was seething with anger now. I did not care whether Elish was practically twice my size, I would really give him a piece of my mind. I stormed up the stairs and down, heading for his room. Immediately I was in front of his door, I burst it open without even knocking.
"Elish, come on Man it's eight o'clock for the love of God. Get your as…"
And the words died in my mouth. I was standing in the center of the room now, Elish was in front of his bathroom door, stark naked and with a look in his eyes that I had only seen once… at the mall. I did not move back, my legs did. The switchblades in his eyes; I certainly intruded in something and he did not want it.
"Hey dude," Elish spoke. It was a chilling deep voice, frozen cold with aloof insouciance and beastliness. I could not reply him. I was somehow cowering in fear.
"Knock next time will you," he ended the previous statement there and I saw him go to the bed.
He looked at the clothes and then I saw the look disappear. Warmth crept back in to my bones as the Elish I knew was coming back to the light. It took a minute before he looked at me with his misty eyes; confusion and sadness in them. I wondered why but reality brought things back to normal when he said.
"Leo?... How long have you been standing there?"
"Oh, just now." I tried to see if he would remember when I came in.
"Oh, I see." He said looking away for me. He did not remember. Elish stared sleepy-eyed around the clothes in front of him and at himself. Then I saw his eyes gaped. He looked at me.
"Dude, am naked and you are just staring at me." That's when I realized it too.
"Get out of here," he grabbed the pillow beside him and threw at me, I dodged laughing and running outside. I shut the door and leaned on it … He is different. I could not pin point what but it was like he became more human.
"What is keeping you boys?!" I heard Dad yell from downstairs.
"Elish is dressing up. We will be down in a moment." I replied him with a yell too.
Surprisingly, I was not anger again. Even when it was crystal clear we wound be suffering from the 'Curse of The First Day'.
ELISH
I breathed, I knew I was awake but I could not get up. My body sore, weak and tired. I felt like I had fallen off a building. I could not even wink.
'Gosh, what the hell?'
A lengthy groaned escape my lips. My eyes watered, the pain so much I was considering crying some out.
*Are you ok, Boy*
"What do you think, idiotl look I'll I'm I'll
The words came from my mind.
*Human body really is useless. Already brooding after just a fall from the height of your room to the ground*
'What?'
I heard it but I refused to understand Immediately.
"What?"
*I went to look Around. I went out through the window. Did not think it would backfire. Your body is ridiculous*
"Then why did you not go out with yours. You Moron." He began to laugh.
Elish was not finding it funny at all and he realized that and stopped his giggling almost immediately after he started.
*You need to get back to normal?*
Elish did not reply.
*Come on. It is just an easy task*.
Elish knew, he would never do it without something in return which was utterly ridiculous because he was supposed to be him.
*Are you doing it or not*
Elish scoffed.
"You seem desperate." He could not see it but he knew… the werewolf was not smiling anymore.
*I should have expected that. We are the same after all. I will just spit it out then… I need more power. You still own so much of the little we were left with. I took a few and that's how am able to have a strong presence. Strong enough to control your body but I need more*.
"And what happens after you get this power. You became capable Of taking charge at will. Not a chance."
The werewolf huffed.
*If I do more for you. Will you agree now?*
It sounded like he was pleading.
"Why all this, all of a sudden?"
*I do not want to stay a shadow, am you and you are me. We should have equal privilege*
"And let you kill again, No, never again." I said to him. So far as I was concerned, he was a radical and insane. I would be mad letting him loose in this world.
*I will not kill as long as I do not run out of strength and I will not run of strength if I have that power*.
"Taking over my body is by my rules. And I still need that favor."
*Deal*
I didn't know how he as intending to take it but I know something left me including my control over my body. He had to be in it to be able to self-heal he said. I reminded him I had to go to school today so it was decided, he would prepare for school on my behalf.
The beast was very obedient when it wanted something although I knew I was the only one who could make that happened. It was when he was coming out from the bathroom that Leo burst into the room. He scared Leo the second time. Except Leo somehow stays standing each time.
Well, I was getting control back so Leo did not have to freeze in fear too long. Immediately I picked my complete sanity back, I used the nude excuse to send him away. Now I was standing beside my mirror eyeing the deep open claw wound on my shoulder. Dry and not bleeding but it still looked like it would hurt a lot.
"I was very scared last night; how come I feel so aloof about the gore scene you made me watch?"
And then there was this distaste for life in this place I keep feeling having since I took back control Permanently today but one question after the other.
*I thought you said you had to go to school and early*
"Talk, I am listening."
I heard him heave with the faint growl of the beast he is before he began. I was tucking in the white turtleneck top when he spoke again.
*What I know is that I woke up a wolf. A big wolf. It was you then though, I took over later and we had a great feast. You kept interrupting though. That's why that girl lived*
I opened the door and fast paced downstairs. I still heard what he said. It made so much sense why I felt like taking care of her. Leo was by the dining table when I came. I wanted to throw some meat in to my mouth and I was looking for it with my eyes.
"I already packed breakfast. Let's go."
Leo said making for the door. I was next to him immediately but I still caught the air kiss Mrs. Parker threw at me. She gave me that eyes smile and I suddenly wondered; out of nowhere… what would it be like to make contact with her lips…
"Wait, what?"
I heard a ludicrous growl.
"You are bitch."
He started laughing. I was walking to the car now, to open the car door, something I still try to understand how to do. I could not shun him and do this other thing at the same time so I choose to like him snicker until I was relaxed in the back seat and waiting for his continuity. He knew and he responded to the needful.
*After that, I was able to gather enough of their life force to grow my power and turn human. My mind and yours were still interwoven at that time, loosely though. That's why whenever I acted, your consciousness becomes a spectator to mine. After hunting again the following night; I decide to split away from you. Your human nature was suppressing me, hugging all the power I needed to get to the light. So I split powers too. And now, you have enough to be an ordinary human and I have enough to be a werewolf.*
'Why are we scrambling for power and why is no one noticing that my stature, my eyes and my ferocity, has died down greatly. Now I look like all these basketball players in these people's sports; a very well built one though. But generally not too outstanding.'
*Because the more I gain power to fuel my persona, the weaker this one gets..*
'Why?'
*I do not know, I use to but not anymore. Werewolves are not human. We can tell when something is missing. We come into existence with some information about our selves that not even Heaven can take. It helps us get basic detail about ourselves especially when a one of us suffers a memory deterioration.*
'That's skill sure Is handy.'
*Yeah but Not in this situation though. We gave up our memories ourselves. Our powers too, maybe. I do not know why but what I know is that you and me, we are a Harmony of a combination of a werewolf and a human. Which means we can effectively tap into the power of a human and the power and a werewolf and we can choose to combine. For other Werewolves, human form is like mere shading fur. But you no longer have the power to keep you two independent dorms as one so that's why we are split.*
I heaved. That's made sense.
…God damnit, I am actually agreeing to this shit. Like am not of this world. This is straight up insane. Like am still dreaming…
'How do we become two hundred percent again instead me a sixty and you a one forty.'
*I am not sure. All I can tell you is that you are some piece of work for such a power as the force that creates a two hundred percent to be taken from you. And I know that we have a home that we really need to get back to.*
"Hey, Man are you okey?" I flung my eyes sharply to the left. Leo flinched away from the car window.
"I am cool."
"Really, then why are not getting down from the car?" His voice was a bit shaky, I think I scared him a little.
I noticed while looking around immediately. I saw many feet heading into the building before us and Mr. Parker looking at me.
"I am just a bit nervous." Mr Parker chuckled with Leo immediately.
"I got your back dude. Get of the car." Leo said to me.
Mr Parker agreed with his eyes. I pushed the door open and stepped out. Leo slammed the door shut and Mr Parker drove off. Leo snugged close to me.
"Come on, let's go in," he said gesturing forward.
I was hesitant.
"See dude if it's about the 'Curse of The First Day'', do not you worry. We are in this together.
You are not alone."
I gave him a look, well the werewolf did, some how he found those words deceitful.
"Quite giving me that look all the time, man."
"Sorry." I said. We both then began to walk fast into the school.
'Why are you so snappy to Leo. Is he part of our weird past or something. You keep acting out with him like it is some instinct.'
*I do not like him. Stay away from him. Humans, their abilities are so poor that they can not notice or tell your body's changes no matter what it becomes but he can see it. A little but still something. He should not be able to notice at all. That fact only gives me red flags.*
Leo and I walked in through the big open doors, into a hall full of lockers and students. Noise everywhere. Everyone talking. I did not like it at all…
*You could customize them all into pieces of flesh and blood if you are too disturbed*
"Quite giving me your ridiculous suggestions. No, not ridiculous… sick. Freaking sick shit you think of and stay away from Leo."
*Yes, Sir* he said mockingly.
"What do I Call you. I cannot keep addressing you as me alone?"
he did not respond..
"What? Are you suddenly comfortable with no identifiers. You seem pretty synched about getting out of the shadows."
*De El. Call me that since you want to give me a name is so bad*
We Stopped In front of two lockers. One hundred and seventy five was written on mine and one hundred and seventy six on Leo's.
"The basic passwords is one, two, three, four and five. Input that then change it to the one you like ." Leo explained.
I nodded like a shy child and proceeded to do what he had told me.
'You have a freaking smug personality you know.'
*I got it from the best*
'Bitch.'
… Gosh his character was freaking pissing me off but I knew I was pissing my self off. It simply made me wonder what kind of ass hole I used to be…
A bell ran. My eyes flew towards it immediately. Some kids beside me noticed. They had been paying attention to us it seemed.
"Its just a bell kid. Do not go wring your neck like that, Weirdo."
"He is just not use to it,"
I heard Leo say beside me. Patting my shoulder almost immediately he said it.
The kids waved their head. They still had that mockery in mind about me as they walked away. Leo gave me a shove towards him. I moved at my own volition though.
"What the hell was that?!" he yelled at me in a wispher.
"My instincts."
"Well can you keep it down. At bay. Unnoticed. In any way that will not draw attention to you. Please dude this is college. You do something stupid you get a bad name that will follow you forever or a bully or a something worse."
I shocked my head like I cared about anything he was talking about.
"You see man, we are already going to suffer the 'Curse Of The First Day' we cannot afford more problems."
"The what?"
Ok, that Intrigued me.
"You do know about 'The Curse Of The First Day'? who am I kidding of course you do not know. See…"
he came closer.
"If you come to school late on the first day you will end up suffering something so bad no one will ever forget it throughout your days in school."
… Let me say this now. That was the stupidest thing I have ever heard since i came to this world. And I was certainly not going to be weary of that shit but so satisfy the yoodle, Master Leo, who thinks he has got me believing this crap…
I gave him a look of wonder and nod suggesting I would be extra careful.
The bell rang again and students began to move towards different class rooms. Taking turns through the may corners before me. Leo and I were not enrolled to study the same thing.
Leo has picked psychology and I was to be part of the Historians. I did not pick it, frankly, I am here for the sack of normality.
I attempted to walk forward, Leo grabbed my arm. "Do you even know your class?"
"I will find if I look for it." So far today, I looked like an imbecile and a decapitated one at that.
"Come with me." He led me by the hand and we began to walk to the left turn. "Take it easy on your girlfriend, dude." I heard them sprouting from behind. Not me or Leo turned.
"Woow, they are really a thing. Who is top?"
'Ok attention gotten'
I turned my head back and glare at him. Well, De El did. In those few seconds, time froze in the boy's eyes. He was paralyzed, I was sure of it. Shivers crawled up his spine like dirty big spiders. No one except him could see the bloodthirsty look in my eyes.
*Run*
The kid shot for the exit. Crashed into some teens coming his direction. They all crumbled to the ground. He scampered to his feet stepping on them and continued running. I was losing sight of the hall now being dragged into the left turn by Leo but I still had time to grin at the second kid. He looked away immediately.
For the first time I was forced to think… De El might not be so bad after all. I felt him smirk at that thought.
Leo and I walked a little more after that turn and the went through a stairway to the first floor. The first Classroom is where he made his stop. "It's here I guess." I said as his grip freed.
"Yeah. Enjoy your first day. Please keep your instincts under control and beware of the curse." I gave him a positive nod that gravely and ironically reflected my emotions. He made his way back.
My eyes did not see him off, I was busy staring at the name written on top the classroom door. There was a bold spelling of the word 'HISTORY' on it. Some world related symbol pinned on the big words to look a bit dumb and artistic. Although basically it was dumb to me. One of the doors were open. I could hear chattering and obvious signs people were getting acquainted with each other. I walked in. Darting my eye. The front seats were all empty. I took fast but cool strides to the front and sat down immediately. I took out my cellphone.
Yeah, I got one the day before yesterday.
Leo showed me how to play music and make calls. I went to the music app, connected my ear pods and presses the fallen triangle shape. The blazing sound Burst in to my ears immediately.
I lay my back down and forgot the world. The matrix singing 'Lain in blood' to me. I did not notice when everywhere quieted until someone gave me a tap. I gaped my half closed eyes a little and looked at the guy. He pointed forward, I looked forward and I saw a man writing something on the big rectangular ash grey board which stretched out to cover the same distance as fifty of his cat walk footsteps. I took off my ears plugs.
"Thanks Man"
He smiled at me big did not speak. Short, skinny, albino with color pigment leaving even his eyebrows. His squinted eyes smiled at me with his lips then he proceeded to take the other side of the rows of chairs I was sitting on. He kept his ass on the one three seats away from me. I made to say 'Hi' but the idiot interrupted me.
*Do not interact with him, he is a much lesser being even in his weak world. You need strong Allies.*
"Shut it bitch." I shush him and attempted to return to familiarizing but I was interrupted by the clearing of throat amplified by a microphone.
I heaved, looking away.
'Maybe some other time'
I turned away. He saw me but I did know.
"Good morning everyone." There was a scanty reply. "Alright, I am Mr Williamor Steff and I will be handing your introductory classes on the 'History of History' course. My name is on the board and my phone number. I am also your academic advisor which means you can come to me for all your academic problems or even your social issues and problems at home. Ok. Now…" he turned to the board and wrote in the free space 'History Of History'. He turned back to us.
"Does anyone have any idea on your topic?" He had no reply from the audience.
"Anyone at all. Anyone." Everyone was looking at him and not talking. I saw the albino bend over on his book and write. I peered I could see from far distances anyways. He was scribbling what seemed to be the answer of the question. He did not seem to want to stand up though, I wanted to steal his reply but conscience did not want to give me that peace.
"Well since no one knows the answer then take out your books, we are having a 'POP QUIZ'."
"Oh shit."
"Oh, come on."
"fuck." And the mute kids began to talk.
Then someone said; "Suck it dude, you already wrote down the answer. Say it then, men." I looked to the of the voice. It was the boy talking about me looking at the clock then. My gaze reverted to the albino. I saw his hand. He was shaking.
"Talk dude come on."
"What a selfish son of a bitch."
'"Talk ass hole."
Others joined in, Practically yelling at him. The kid hid his hand under the desk, I saw him clipping on the edge of his finger nails. They had started to bleed.
*You are not considering helping him are you?*
"How is that a probably if I do."
*Have you no regard for your power. Say away from weaklings*
"You do not get to say what I do."
I super glued a smile on my face and blurted out; "Sir, I know the answer." The noise died immediately. Everyone probably looking my way.
The teacher, who had been silent and blind to the verbal abuses Albino, finally talked.
"Alright, young man. Please come up." I stepped out of my seat and walked to the platform he was standing on. He had me turn to the rowdy class that had taken their seats now.
"Can you tell the class your name?" the mann requested.
"My name is Elish Moore."
"Alright, Elish, can you answer the question." He gave me a voice piece. I hung it close to my ear and the mouth piece close to my lips.
"Eh I think History of history is that it began the moment man started existing. Time immemorial. There is no date to a lot to it because it is something that is older than even man and same with existence."
"Thar was a very basic and very true definition. Everyone please applaud him." The man cheered on the audience. They did just that.
"And for standing up and answering this question. Being the first to participate in my class, I will award you with one hundred dollars."
"Wooooooooow!"
And the crowd goes wild, especially the albino. Crystal clear amazement and regret in his eyes. The man, Mr. Williamor Steff; Yep immediately he said he would give me money, I started remembering his name. He went to his desk and sat down. I still stood where I am. He took our a history textbook and stepped out. Flipping through as he walked down the pavement by toe steps.
"We have to read the prescribed text now. Can anyone help us out." Kids were flying out of their seats to thier seats to get hold of the textbook on his hand. In the end, a girl dressed in black crop top, black pants and shoes. Rings on all her fingers and up to five ear rings on each ear. She got to it first. I watched her, immediately she snatched the book, the twirled. A boy behind her who had already reached out and was unable to stop moving, he flew past her immediately landing on the stairs. Theat turn saved her and she knew just when to make it, I was impressed.
"Alright, please come up here and read for us." Mr Williamor Steff looked at me.
"Please give her the bo… I mean the voice piece." I obeyed, taking it off and giving it to her. While she busied herself with that. I followed Mr. Williamor Steff to his desk. He sat down and pulled out a drawer. Apparently to find my fiscal reward. He did. I made to bend to take the dollar for him…
'Something tore behind me'
I straightened up immediately.
'Shit'
I think the knock off designer trousers had torn and in between my juicy round apples.
'Crap'
This is bad. This is really bad. I could not return to my seat like this. I may be pretty aloof but I was very aware of embarrassment. I flashed my eyes sharply. I saw no salvation. I could not tell Mr Williamor Steff either. What the shit was I going to do?
*Tie it around your waist*
"What? Dude I ain't freaking joking right now."
*You are wearing a singlet inside that's big sweater short thing. Take off the shirt thing and tie it around your waist*
I flung my eyes at the teens seated on the stadium set seats. At the back, some boys were wearing tan tops.
'Damn it.'
I grabbed the end of the sweater and slipped it off.
"Oh shit."
I looked beside me. The draped in black, girl; she was staring at me with her gaped eyes. She was the only one. I suddenly became self-conscious. I wanted to put the turtle neck back on.
"Hey, Elish, what are doing?", I heard the baffled voice of Mr. Williamor Steff. I turned to him, slipping the sleeves of the cloth around my waist.
"I am feeling real hot Sir. Bad choice of wardrobe." I was sweating indeed, they stuck the white singlet to my chest like duct tape.
"Ohhh My God."
I saw flashes of light from the corner of my eyes. My gaze reverted to it's direction. Girls were standing up and taking pictures of me. Honestly the fact that it did not seem awkward was all I wanted to know. I was back to my cool calm and lofty self. Tying the shirt on my waist. I got off the stage and back to my seat immediately.
One girl grew chicken wings, flew off her seat and up the platform like there were no stairs. I was not looking at her anymore though. My face expressionless. I only heard her heavy feet splatter on the floor and she moved and stopped beside me. "You dropped your dollar", I hear her say. I looked up, at the hand though. There was two, hundred dollar notes.
'De El, which one belongs to the teacher.'
*The one below*
I reached out and took that one. Even though I did just that, she still reddened like a peach on fire.
"Alright. Alright. We have had our fun. Return to your seats. Come on, let us continue with the Lectures." The students started moving but pressing their phones at the same time. Mr Williamor Steff continued trying to get them to pay attention but was unsuccessful for a good fifteen minutes until he declared another pop quiz. They magic word worked its wonders again. Everyone comported themselves immediately. The lesson continued
AUTHOR
"Okay that will be all for today." Students picked up their bags and started leaving. The female Lecturer continued to talk.
"Do not forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel for more on the class of today." She was relegated to the background by the chattering children including Leo who was already on his phone waiting for Anamay to reply.
She was in the Other building of the college taking her nursing classes but he was sure she could be finished by now. He had sent 'HI' and a kiss blowing emoji and wishing with all his life that she should notice that it was signifying that he actually wanted to kiss her. But his hope was dashed when he saw the message bubble. He struck it immediately and Anamay's direct message popped open. His eyes grew wide. She replied 'Who is This' and he has been blocked.
… What in shit?...
Did she make a mistake? Did she lose her phone? Did she lose her memory? What other freaking reason would be behind the fact that she did not recognize his phone number and the bold picture of himself on his profile. This phone made the ding sound again. Messages coming from the Psychology group chat he just joined and it was pissing him off. He walked to the window and leaned on the pane. Putting a coked can of soda in his mouth while he finally clicked on the messages coming from the community. The app opened and the front page lay before him with their number of unread messages. The group was on top with one thousand unread messages.
'Shit'
I just joined like an hour ago. What in hell are they tweeting about. He clicked on it. The first message he saw was 'Does anyone know the change of course procedure. I wanna switch subjects'
"Ok, weird", he scrolled down. And read the next one. 'Damn, I do not mind making a change as long as I can get…oh shit, I really wan a piece of His story'
Leo quirked his eye brows and huffed. "What the hell is happening in Elish's department?" He went further down. There was a HD picture put on single view. He clicked on it, the soda rolling into his mouth. The picture popped up. He choked on his soda immediately. His phone falling on the ground. He was face out from the window coughing in to the wind and beating on chest.
Everyone passing were looking at him. He wasn't attentive though, too busy trying not to die. Someone came close and picked up his phone. The individual tapped him on the shoulder, he turned slightly, the person stuck the phone up to him. He took it, till coughing.
"You still have not changed a bit but keeping the same cellphone. You are really trying."
Leo twirled immediately.
Yep, it's who he thought it was. Anamay…
"Anamay." He was so dumbfounded. Anamay smiled at him.
"I can see your new friend is causing some trouble already. Perhaps it is the 'Curse of The First Day.' Leo smiled back. They were the ones that made it up and she still remembered. He was trying to talk bit he could not get his eyes off her.
Anamay has changed. The bone skinny girl of a few months ago had put on weight in all the really good places. She was taller, her eyes slightly narrowed a bit like a tigress and her body has gotten fleshier. She fit in the black hose socks she wore under the short jeans skirt and big crop sweater that was cream white.
Okay, breath taking and Adele like transformation were underestimates here. She looked like the fairy of 'Slay Queens' granted her beautiful wish. Anamay noticed he was staring.
"I look different right? Sorry, I have been getting a lot of unwanted attention…" she emphasized on the 'unwanted'.
"Lately so I just block any of that kind of messages. It was when I looked again that I recognized it was your number."
Leo smiled again… he was really stuck dumb right now.
"We need to go and save your friend first before we catch up on old times." Leo nodded like a doll. She turned, leaving. Love put his phone in to his bag and followed her Immediately with his can of half-finished soda.
Meanwhile, Elish had gotten directions to a tailor on campus. The man actually gave him baggy jeans to wear and pay later because if he could easily tear that fabric then that material was not for him at all. He had his sweater turtle neck back on and making slow slides out of the tailor's office. It was really disturbing being pointed at and looked at many times as he was walking down the hall. He had seen the post on the community too. Not that he cared but it was still disconcerting.
'Plus…'
He turned into a hallway… no lockers.
'Damn it'
He did not know the way out of this school building. He heaved. Another disappointing trip through halls. Well, we go again. He turned around and looked forward, he spotted a woman.
Navy blue dress and black shows entering to close on of the empty offices he had just passed.
He ran to her. Three seconds, his hand held the door immediately. The lady looked up. She was immediately surprised by the hand. There was no one on the hall when she was walking by. She let the door reopen. Elish gave her a slight bow immediately their eyes crossed.
"Good afternoon to you too." She replied his bow with words.
"I am looking for the way outside. I got lost for a moment."
The lady took another at him from over the top of her glasses.
"I can see that. None hardly comes here." The lady stepped out of the office, Elish took steps back. She closed the door and lead the way. Elish followed beside her.
The woman sparked a converse as adults normally do. "What is your name, young man?"
"Elish. Elish Moore," he replied.
She gave him a quick glance. "What department?"
"History, Mam." Elish answered to the second question. They were at a turn now. They took it together. The moment their feet stepped out of that hallway, they were in the hall of lockers. Students everywhere.
*I'm… impossible*
De El noticed it first. Elish threw his eyes back. The hall behind was certainly was not the one he just left. He looked at the Lady. She met his gaze but did not smile.
"You are a long way from home, Boy. Go back even if it does not want you." The lady turned and began walking down the hallway behind them. People passed her. No one talked to her, no one noticed her. His eyes grew wider.
"De El, he better have a good explanation for this."
*You are werewolf not a seer. So how am I supposed to know*
The lady disappeared into the next corner. Elish suddenly felt cold and slight fear. He made his way down the passage way of lockers immediately, passing the mirror stand and the sharp bend immediately after until he was outside and on the stone paths of the school's front yard. He took an eyes right to find a spot to sit on the green pawned grass. He hung down his bag, it's bottom resting on the green with him. He opened the bag. He had not had breakfast or anything else to eat since morning.
He took at small portable freezer where he kept his flesh. Mr Parker and Leo invented a way to coat the meat with chocolate so he could eat them outside and no one would notice what they really are. He opened the containment and then took out his fork. Relaxing nice, he began to enjoy his meal.
He sat there for only a minute before he began to notice footsteps coming closer. Giggles too. He felt like slapping someone on the face. This gender is really something else here. Anamay was quite sensible and less weird. Well, he would ignore them. He did but they did not ignore him until they were standing next to him.
He heaved. These people are really a nuisance.
*Need help?*
Elish considered it
*Have you seen me keep something annoying hanging around*
'True. Fine, you handle them.'
Elish switched over immediately. De El looked at them.
"Hi, am Stefani." The starved one said to him, stretching out a hand so he could shake. Her hands were bony too. She was punishing herself just to keep that figure it was clear. De El did not do anything except run his tongue over his lips. The girl's cheeks flushed immediately.
That literally spelt 'Dangerous man' in Bright red color. Stefani lost her words. Another girl from her clique took the floor. "Am Gabriella." She did not try to shake him.
"We are the upper class man and we would like welcome you to le Emirate College."
There was no reaction from De El again.
His attention had been drifted away by the murmurs of others around.
"The Queens have got to him. He is their dog now"
Okey, De El did not like that analysis at all. He was about to talk when five boys came to him.
"Girls, give the man some space." One of them said as they made a stop beside De El's left.
"Dude just arrived, he needs the boys to show his around and not to be mascot for you, girls."
'Shit, the upperclassmen are here too. Shit, who is this dude?'
The murmurs were getting worse and he was feed up now. He tried to catch someone in his gaze and give them a pretty command but Leo was yelling at them immediately. He appeared from nowhere. De El hissed.
*Its official, I really hate this kid. Someone would have been going around quacking like a chicken by now*
The group of kids looked his way, he was coming closer. Waving at them. His body moved to the right revealing someone tagging along slowly.
De El froze.
Her eyes caught his own. She stopped walking, looking at him.
*A Luna*.
