CHAPTER TWO
1036 Words
I arrived at school the next morning and things seemed a little too different,or a lot more different.
I usually got hate stares,but it seems today's stares were just too much. It was like they had something against me.
I went to the library and it was the same,like a part of the school hated me.
“Hey,Aria,How are you?” Lois asked.
“I'm good and you.”
“Very well.”
“Uhm do you by chance know what I did wrong?”
“What do you mean?”
“I got to school this morning and the hate stares I got were just too much.”
“You usually get hate stares,Ria.”
“I know but today it seems kind of different,I just can't place a finger on it."
“I don't get what you're talking about,either way let's go to the gym room,we've got some exercising to do.”
“Okay okay,maybe I'm just the weird one.”
We both passed by the parking lot,I saw students gathered and their eyes were glistening colors of gold,red,and blue.
“Did you see that?” I asked.
“See what?”Lois asked.
“ Their eyes had another shade of color.”
“Huh?”
“Like their eyes were not normal.”
“ Ria,are you sure you are fine.”
“Of course,I am.”
“No you're not,you resumed school early this week,saying you could hear things banging headaches and shaky fingers and now you're seeing things too you need to see a psychiatrist.”
“No I don't.”
“I said I'm fine alright.”
“Hmph,what are you scared of actually?”
“Nothing I said I'm fine.”
“You want to know why everyone is looking at you weirdly right,it's because you've gone crazy.”
“I've gone what?”
“Crazy,and God help me. I do want to be associated with someone crazy and doesn't want to help herself.” Lois spat and stormed off.
I paused for a minute,
“Lois,Lois,Lois!!!”
“I'm not talking to you till you decide to do something about your mental health.” Lois shouted.
I changed direction from the gym to the library. I sat down and placed her head on the table and let out silent cries.
“You can come out now.” I said sniffling.
Nothing happened.
“I know you've been watching me since I got to school,I could smell you from far away,so save yourself the trouble and face me directly.”
From the second aisle Kael came out and sat down.
“ So why were you following me?” I asked. “You want something.”
“No…not really.” Kael replied.
“ Why were you following me then?” I asked,raising my brows.
“How did you know I was following you?”
“ The last time I checked, you don't answer a question with a question.”
“I just want to be friends.”
“When the whole school sees me as crazy and my own bestfriend decides to leave me for that same reason,you come here and claim to want to be my friend?! Oh come on just tell me what you want, if I can see ghosts,if I'm a witch,if I deserve to be in school or not or do you want to convince me badly that I need a psychiatrist.” I bursted.
Everyone turned.
“I don't know about him,but you do need a psychiatrist.” Flora snickered and left.
“The audacity of her to question why we behave this way.”Another girl said.
“Yes, you are a witch and witches deserve to be killed,because no human being can survive a silver nitrate incident without burns or bruises.” Another boy said.
“So I am a witch,because I got lucky and survived it.”
“You don't call that luck,luck maybe when you get some bruise or at least a reaction.”The boy replied.
“I also overheard her best friend calling her crazy.” Another girl said.
“You see, even your best friend thinks you are crazy.”Flora snickered and laughed.
“That's it,everyone stop.” Lois said coming from the other aisle.
“No one speaks s**t about her,and why don't you all just get the hell out of here.” Lois added and walked away.
Everyone departed whilst mocking me and laughing.
“Lois!Lois!.”
“Just because I saved your ass out there,doesn't mean we are back to talking terms and it still doesn't mean I will do it again,get yourself checked.”
I turned to look for Kael but she couldn't find him.
“So much for him trying to be my friend,he couldn't even stand up for me.”

“What do you think you are doing?”Kael asked.
“That question is supposed to be for you.”Lois retorted.
“You were given a simple task,tell her what she is,and inform her of the dangers ahead. Now tell me, is that so hard to do?”
“ So I should just walk up to her and say,you are of the bloodline of an ancient wolf clan,run away, leave this city,there are people lurking that want to kill you. Does that make any sense to you?”
“She would believe you a bit. You've been her best friend for 13years it's not going to be that hard.”
“Ohh why don't you go become her friend and tell her that,huhh,and I wish you good luck as well,you didn't stand up for her,when she was getting bullied,if she stops and listens to you,I'd do whatever you want.”
“Then what is your plan?”
“My plan is to make her speak about the weird stuff happening to her first,tell me what and who she had seen in the past week,then during the research,I'd just tell her who I am.”
“You've gone cuckoo.”
“Seems like you have a better plan,try that out,I'm outta here.” Lois said and left.
“Shit.” Kael cursed and ruffled his hair.
