My Curvy Mate

Picture Day

*May’s POV*

               I walk into the building of my high school. I go to an academy for young wolves it was made to develop our powers while getting a GED at the same time. Everyone at this school knew each other as we all were from the area and brought in by neighboring packs. I opened the second set of doors and walked down the hallway already not even 10 seconds into the building I see Mona and her lackies staring at me. Mona, Luna and Reyna are the school's notorious bullies. They are all High-level Omegas that are from one of the strongest packs in our city. Mona has been one of my worst bullies since I started high school. She goes as far as physically hurting me and asking first-year boys to ask me out for five dollars. Luna and Reyna are twin sisters that live very lavishly. They had everything handed to them from an early age including status, boys and designer clothing. I could never understand why Mona and her lackies decide to bully me, maybe to make her feel more powerful since she has nothing else going on for her.

               Betty J grabs my hand and pulls me down the right hallway as she seen I locked eyes with Mona. In order to stop any confrontation, she started to move me also I had to make it to my first period. I had English first and I needed to get through the day unnoticed since it is picture day. I have not participated in picture day since I was a kid. I always did not like the way I looked in school pictures it's just the lighting and the angles were all wrong for my features. This year I promised Betty J one picture only. Now that I was not dressed half bad and my makeup was decent it seemed like the right time to take my first ever picture today. “Attention Students” The speakers started booming, “Picture day will commence at 9am and throughout the day we will be calling students from all grades in alphabetical order”. Great that means I will be after lunch since my name started with an M for Maxwell. I had time to mentally prepare myself for this picture and survive the morning in peace. I finally arrived at my English class and took my seat in the second to last row beside Betty J. RIINGGGGG I hear the bell ring that it is time to start class. My teacher started his lecture on Shakespeare and was running through Hamlet. I left as if I was starting to fall asleep. I felt my phone vibrate it was Betty texting me. Hey girl pay attention. I am not sharing my notes again!!! I smiled and closed my phone. All of a sudden, I heard my teacher call my name. Crap. He saw me grab my phone. “Why don’t you read what you were laughing at in the back Ms. Maxwell”. s**t. I glared at Betty who mouthed sorry. I stood up and said “Nothing sir I was daydreaming it will not happen again” I heard my classmates laughing at me and whispering behind my back. “Why don’t you come sit beside by desk if you have the time to daydream” My teacher replied back. I went red in the face but packed my bag and sat in the front of the room mortified. I all of a sudden seen Mona raise her hand “Sir, do you think that is a good idea she is blocking the board from my learning since she is very big and in the way,” I seen Mona smirk at me; I stuck my head into my desk. Why me why now. The teacher replied “Can everyone see past May or is she distracting and blocking your view” Everyone except Betty J yelled “YESS”. Great. Not only did I get in trouble and must move I am now being picked on in the worst way possible. My teacher motioned to me to move to the back of the room. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. He continued teaching while Mona turned over and smiled evilly at me. Betty mouthed sorry since I was sitting in the opposite side of her in the back of the room.

               The minute class ended I sprung for the door leaving even Betty J behind I had to get to the washroom and quick. I felt as if I would cry but did not want to ruin the makeup on my face. Once I located the closest washroom I ran to the last stall, locked the door, and took some deep breaths. This cannot be happening today. Once I heard the warning bell ring, I ran out the stall washed my hands to make it look like I was peeing and headed towards the gym. Next class was combat training for the seniors. Since we were to gain our wolves soon we were required to learn combat training for defending whichever packs we decided to choose. As we turn eighteen, we have the option to pick a new pack or stay in the pack we were raised in by our parents. Since my parents passed away I did not get the opportunity to ask them which pack they belonged to and no one ever told me. For me I hoped whichever pack I join they would be kind and accept me as I am.

*Mona's POV*

               I became bored with my studies long ago; I know since I am a high ranked member I was guaranteed to either be mated to a high ranked Omega or even better an Alpha. I could care less what else opportunities would be provided to me since I was born to have pups and be a housewife. My mother has been training me with these duties since I was younger. Now that I am almost eighteen I will be one step closer to finding the one. Right now, I have one man in my life that I love but not sure if he loves me back as he sleeps with so may she wolfs all the time. I hope he knows he is missing out on a sexy girl like me. Stupid Alphas. I peer over my shoulder to see Luna and Reyna just sitting on the bench giggling and laughing. How dare they share a joke without me do they think this is a free country!? “What are you bitches laughing at? I glare over to their phone. “OH, Mona you have got to see this! Look at May’s face it's brighter than a tomato after what you did today in English I wish I was there to see it” replied Luna. I smirk to myself. “Of course, I had to put that orphan in her place she needs to know we are above her in everything”. Since the start of high school I have been sucking the self confidence out of May, she is an easy target and does it to herself by not losing weight. Today she thought she could wear a low-cut shirt and walk in the school looking all confident not today. No one wants to see her cleavage it was burning my eyes and I had to put a stop to it. My mother taught me we need to take power for others since I was a kid. I work for what I have and if not everyone will comply I will take it for myself. I glance over and see May walking in the door I wave over and see her scurry over to Betty in the corner who glares back at me. Pathetic. I cannot believe she thought she can hide from me today on picture day.

               “Go partner with Betty today” I command Luna. “I do not think she will want to be my partner” I hear Luna reply softly. I clap back in her face, “Are you stupid or something? I said go over there and partner with Betty today. Got it” I add annoyed. I see Reyna get up and walk up to Betty, well at least her sister is useful. I glare back at Luna who just hangs her head she knew she disappointed me.  I go over to the coach and explain why I should partner with May since usually we have a male partner with her due to her size. That was my idea as well I pretty much own the school. The coach agrees and I skip over to May smiling, “Guess who is your sparring partner today? Me your worst nightmare.” I can see May tensing up that that brings me immense joy. “Find your assigned partners and spar I want to see the leg work I taught you all last week now GO!” Coach yells loudly. I motion for May to follow me to the mat; I want to see if she dares attack me. I motion with my fingers for her to come forward and attack I see her lunge with all her might. I dodge the attack and side swipe her left leg pinning her to the ground. I whisper in her ear “You are worthless” while grabbing a fist full of her hair and pulling with all my strength. I can see tears in her eyes. I can see Betty trying to come over and help May but is distracted with Reyna as her Sparring partner. Reyna takes that opportunity to lunge at Betty while she is distracted pinning her down. At least one twin is useful. I spit in May’s Face one last time smearing her makeup and destroying her hair. She is now picture day ready.

*May's POV*



               When I heard coach made Mona my partner I knew something was wrong. Today was not going to be my day. I tense up without realizing it I see Mona smirking she knows that I am weak and not able to fight back. We start our Spar. I lunge first hoping my size will knock her down and that would be that. She quick dodges me and pins me to the ground hard. When she whispered in my ear, I felt a shiver down my spine it was no use. I was worthless I had no one to help me and it was true. She used her razor-sharp nails to grab and pull my hair out while digging into my skull, I felt the room go back a little. She continued to spit in my face ruining the one day I felt normal and the makeup Lilly Rae did for me. Mona got up and left. I sat on the floor and laid very still I can see Mona wrapping her arms around a male classmate and laughing while pointing to me. She showed how she dominated me. I got up tripping and falling as my head was spinning causing half the class to laugh. I got enough stamina to get up again and run out of the gym with my coach yelling at me to get back. I ran as fast as I could to the washroom on the second floor and assessed the damage My face was dirty, and the mascara was leaking down my face onto my neck. I washed it all off with water. I then assessed my hair there was five tiny puncture wounds from her nails in the back of my thick brown hair that was now matted and dirty. The one day I looked forward to was now ruined I could not bare to face anyone for the rest of the day. I ran to the office and signed myself out as I said I had the flu.

               On my way out of the building I caught a glimpse of Betty Joyce talking to a boy that I have never seen before. He seemed to be about 6’foot tall and wearing a hoodie and sunglasses. He looked like he was hiding from someone. I seen the concerned look on Betty J’s face but decided not to meddle as she has her own personal life and will tell me when it is time. I walk down the street hoping to catch the next bus to my house. I waited 45 minutes and the bus pulled up. I sit in the back of the bus thinking about my day and how I need to sleep it off. I know I broke my promise to Betty but she will get over it. I walk up my street into my empty house and lock the door. Looking to take a shower and put on sweats I instantly feel comfort and drift off to bed.
