Lulu's p.o.v.
The bus was moving further and further into the empty road, I am getting so close to my new school. The first step of my revenge. But still, my mind hadn't come back into its sense yet. I was sitting in the last row near the window, staring at the rumbling grey sky, letting the cold drizzle fall onto my face.
For one year, I hated rain more than anything...until today. How can I feel this way, it was only a year and I was drooling over that stranger. For a moment I forgot how much I hated this grey sky, this cold rain...and this loud grumbling thunder. Why?
Because the day my boyfriend Tomas' funeral was held, rain caused the sky to look gloomy. It didn't reflect his personality at all, neither did that murky church. His funeral was drowned in the tears of all the people who came to mourn him. That's what I assume anyway.
Because I didn't go.
I stayed at the orphanage. And the day after that..and after that, for one long year. I didn't even visit his grave. Some stupid part of my brain thought not seeing his grave made this all a lie, a nightmare. So foolish of me! Tilting my head, I stared at my phone now. After his death, it became my habit... reading our old texts, waiting for a reply which is never going to come.
" I will bite you..."
This was the last text message I ever sent to him. Just a single sentence. Was he going to sneak inside my room again, even though I threatened to bite him? Did he even see this text? Guess, I'll never know.
The sound of some hushed murmurs snapped me out of my memories. I looked up, but as soon as my eyes met others, they looked away. This entire bus is filled with teenage werewolves, everyone is wearing same clothes as me...but unlike me, they all look happy.
" Where did you steal it from?"
A girl just beside my seat spoke up, her amber eyes glued to my hands. Frowning, I looked down at the yellow jacket of that kind stranger. Wait. I peeked at others, now understanding they all were staring at the jacket...looks like his scent hadn't washed away in rain.
Sighing I stared at that girl, her hair was blonde, and her lips were pouty. She looks like those Barbie dolls my father used to gift me. So pretty.
" We ask you something..." The girl with specs growled, making Lu almost growl back. But I stopped her somehow. I don't want to cause any trouble, not now at least.
" I didn't steal...he gave it to me.", I murmured, not liking the way she and her friends were glaring at me.
" Like, any Delphi would talk to you..."
"Delphi... So that stranger is from Alpha's family. No wonder he felt so strong. ", Lu stated inside my mind, but I ignored her. We will discuss that later. Now I have to think about a way to get rid of these angry she-wolves. They are trying to pick a fight for no reason...
" Give me, we will return it for you."
Suddenly that Barbie girl turned wild like a cat and jumped at me, or should I say jumped at that jacket. Before I could step back, or even blink my eyes, my wolf took over me.
And it was the worst thing that could happen on my first day.
I can feel the bus moving against the muddy road, can hear murmurs and screams around me...can see fear in her brown eyes. I wanted to stop. But Lu didn't. I have no idea why she got this possessive over a jacket. But there is no way I can stop her now.
She was on the floor near my legs and I was above her, some other student was holding me from behind, but it did nothing to stop Lu.
My sharp claws dug into her flesh as a strike of lighting and blood poured out of her arm like an unstoppable storm. She cried. And it excites Lu more. I hear my own growl louder than the thunder. My skin ripped apart, but I hadn't turned. I never turned. Just the color of my hazel eyes gleamed like a golden bowl of blood. I saw my reflection in her screaming teary eyes as I snatched the yellow jacket back and grasped it close to my heart. That's when Lu finally calmed down. Stupid wild animal.
Taking a deep breath, I stepped back and gave my hand to that Barbie girl, I wanted to help her. But she obviously refused. Great. So much of befriending other werewolves. After this, I don't think any one of them is gonna talk to me again. Her friends helped her while I just stood there like a tomb. Other students who were holding me also walked back to their seats. They were saying something, something like I will learn my lesson. I don't know what they meant. Hopefully, I will figure it out soon.
When she finally stood up, I again tried to help her by giving her my scarf, she could wipe her blood from it. But again, she refused. Her face was red from all the crying and screams, and it really made me feel bad. She didn't deserve it. Lu is a stupid wolf.
" Sorry... I didn't mean to.", I said softly. Her brown eyes met mine, but she didn't reply. Instead, her friend, the one with specs, came between us and glared at me with her bloodthirsty eyes, " No, girl...you do mean it.", she snapped.
I really didn't mean to hurt her... It was just a reflex. I didn't grow up between other wolves. The only time I saw the same species as me, they were trying to hurt me, or worse kill me. So Lu gets a little over-protective sometimes. I wanted to explain that to her, apologize at least. But I don't know why I didn't. I just stood there like a ridiculous statue.
She waited for some second, but when I didn't reply. She shook her head as if can't believe my audacity. I can't believe it either. I should have said sorry. I just...I just can't. It's not entirely my fault anyway. She was the one who tried to snatch my thing first.
" No matter how much you tried to wash away your filthy scent or tried to merge between us.", she took a step closer to me with hatred on her pretty brown face, " You will always be a barbaric rogue, who kills innocents for their own amusement."
I stared into her eyes, her glasses were gleaming golden because of the reflection of my eyes. I knew Lu can go wild any minute...again. She is not liking the false accusation. We never killed innocents. But there is no use in telling this girl and her friends that. They already saw me hurting the Barbie girl, they will never believe me.
So, I just tucked my bag pack on my shoulder, grasped that yellow jacket tightly to my heart. And ran. Yes, I ran, as fast as I can.
The Bus hadn't even stopped properly near the school gates but I jumped anyway. It was for their own good, I didn't want Lu to get annoyed and hurt anyone again. She is a lunatic.
" No, I am not."
" Yes, you are. You stupid animal.", I snapped back. And after that Lu cursed me, I think she called me a bitch...or was it a humanshit? I don't know she was muttering so low.
As I walked inside the big iron gates, Lu hides somewhere deep inside my mind, leaving me alone to deal with all this new high school drama. She is going to be grumpy all day. f**k her.
I can do it alone, I tried to encourage myself but when my eyes landed in front of me... s**t. I think I want to take my words back. Hell, I want to take my promise back from Grandpa. Forget my revenge, I want to dig a hole and hide inside it. This school...it feels like my own personal hell, and these werewolves, they look like the devil themselves.
I am f****d.
