Mel
"RIP mum and dad. I love you!" A lone tear fell on the picture frame I was holding. I watched as the tear rolled down to the edge and stuck to the glass.
Before more tears followed it, I quickly shoved the picture frame of me, my mum and dad inside my backpack and zipped it close.
That's about it!.
I wiped the tears off my face and sniffed back the pain.
I took a long glance around my white and cream painted room. I've got everything I need to survive in a new school, I hope.
As I glanced around, I caught my reflection in the mirror. A girl with long red hair that was packed and tied at the nap of her neck stared back at me. Her eyes were shades of red that seemed to glow in a way she never understood.
That girl was me!. Melisa Howard. A red half moon necklace hanging around my neck, the necklace dad gave me.
"Are you really leaving dear?" A voice asked from the door of my bedroom and I turned away from the mirror.
Nancy stood at the foot of my bedroom glancing at me with teary eyes and a sad smile. I hadn't even heard her footsteps approaching..
I took a brief glance at her,
"Yes I'm leaving" I said pulling my backpack on my back and dragging my suitcase towards her.
Nancy's lips thinned and she blinked back tears again, she swallowed the huge lump in her throat and spoke to me with a quivering voice as I stood in front of her.
"Mel, I want you to know that you can always come home to me. Your mother and father might be gone but you always have me, okay?."
"Thanks but I don't think I'll ever come back to Beverly hills anymore. You saw the video that went viral and I was being bullied here anyways."
She pulled herself from the door and I noticed two grey bag she had in her hands, "Here. This is the perfume me and your mum makes, make sure to wear it always and this are five black wigs to hide your hair."
I took both bags from her grip. I checked the contents to confirm and I picked out one of the black wigs before opening my suitcase to put the rest in it.
"Thanks" I told Nancy wearing the black wig I picked out.
"What's the name of the boarding school you're going to?" She wondered.
"It's Prime academy at Prime valley" I explained.
"Prime valley?" She suddenly asked with a gasp. Her eyes widening, "Why?."
I let my hand trail over the necklace hanging down from my neck as I explained, "Because we lived there when dad was alive. And it's very far from here" Mum and moved to Beverly hills after dad died years ago, now mum was dead too.
I intentionally didn't tell her the part where Dad appeared in my dream and told me to go there.
"But your mom and dad are dead. You should be trying to move on not dig into the past. Didn't your mum ever tell you about never stepping foot at Prime valley ever again?. You think there won't be werewolves anywhere you go?" she suddenly yelled.
Taken back by her outburst, I said, "She did but never gave me a good reason. I just want to go to Prime academy. I can't stay here after that video. I can't live in this alone now that mum's dead and I can't move in with you. I'm going to a boarding school."
"But Mel you are a werewolf. I know you and your mum have been trying to deny this but..." She paused wiping her tears.
"Mel, you are a special werewolf and you can't fight it. You should be learning to accept it not run away from it."
"Nancy. I don't want to be a werewolf. I want to be a human. A normal teenager living a normal life and that's what I plan to do at Prime academy" I went past her with my suitcase.
She came after me as I dragged my suitcase down the long hall, I heard sniffing sounds as she got closer to me "Okay then. Mel, remember everything I told you. Never leave school premises no matter what. No fighting. Keep a low profile and don't get into trouble" She said.
"Is that all?"
"I also lived at Prime valley and I want to tell you this. If you hear Blood moon pack at all, call me immediately."
Before I could ask further questions, at that moment, my phone beeped and a video popped up, I tapped on it. It was the video of the scene that happened at my ex boyfriend's party where something strange had happened to me and red fur began to appear on my skin after I got angry at Ivy for kissing my boyfriend Gambi.
The video had been going viral for a week now and it just hit 30 million views, my eyes became teary seeing, "Wolf girl" in the comments.
My life is officially over!. I remember getting home that day to find my mother dead.
"See Nancy" I halted and shoved the phone in Nancy's face, "everyone saw it, everyone saw what happened to me. I can't stay here anymore, my life here is over. I'm not wolf girl!."
She threw her hand up in exasperation, "You're a wolf Mel."
I lifted my heavy suitcase the rest of the way down the stairs, and into a car sent by Prime academy waiting outside the front door.
"Mel be safe, always use the perfume" Nancy yelled as I got into the car.
"Call me the minute you get there" she yelled.
Nothing could make me stay at Beverly hills because everyone knows I'm a werewolf now, I'll get more bullied at school for it. Or worse still, everyone would be afraid of me.
Just grateful my father and mom left a whole bunch of money for me or else I wouldn't have been able to pay the boarding and tuition fee to register myself to Prime academy.
Now, I was moving out of Beverly hills all on my own going to a new school.
I received a text message from Gambi, my ex boyfriend and it says "Mel please pick up your phone we need to talk."
I blocked him immediately, time to leave everything behind!, Everything!.
