*Beginning of Woes*

1745 Words
Rachel's POV Ooh, was I drunk last night? Why did I have to wake up this late? I have to get going now. I can't afford to miss school today. I have no excuse not to graduate from school. I arriving late to lectures is one way to get me poor grades which will make me have an extra year in school. I can not afford to eventually become a school dropout just because I get to miss classes. Slipping out of my bedspread, I got into the bathroom did my business in minutes. If I did keep an accurate track of time, I think I spent two minutes in the bathroom. I know I have less than ten minutes left to be in class. But I then thought of everyone in class talking about how their parents get to keep taking care of them when they overslept so they don't come late to school in the morning hit me. I get envious when they boast and praise their mom and Dad but I can't talk about my parents that way. I can't even do much to change that now unless a miracle happens or the year skips into a new leap year. After five minutes went by and I was rushing down the stairs of my room. Fitting up my denim tight jeans, shirt, and hoodie while on the go. I got past the living room, to the kitchen's dining and no one seems to be aware they have a little daughter who is awake and has to leave the house in the morning. No one even cares to talk about making breakfast ready for me to eat before I leave for school. I would never mind either, I picked up the store key to get my books and school stuff there. I have to quicken my footsteps because time was running out on me. I slot in the key to the doorknob and boom! "Ouch!" That sound and sigh filled the storeroom. Irritation surged up inside me. It is happening again but I have to let out my frustration this time. I will not keep quiet anymore. "Momma, Daddy" I called out of disdain and frustration. They got up from the floor, beginning to dust off the dirty picked up by their clothes. I thought this is absurd, who in the world has a beautiful bedroom and sleeps in the storeroom with his wife all night, not that they are attacked by any monster. I asked mentally because my mouth is still heavy to let a word out. "I think I am getting quicker with my thrusting this day," Dad said to my mom trying to ignore my presence, which even got me pissed, and I had to speak out. "I just can't believe you two, mom and Dad. You are here in the storeroom making out and ruining the paints" I said, and watched as no one is ready to say anything to me. "Ooh, Momma! My gaze fell on my loafers shoe which lay damaged on the floor with jagged teeth bites. I got just fed up instantly, walking out of the storeroom. Dad and Mom followed sheepishly behind me. "Mom you have always said I should stay true to my human form and not give in to my wolf and now you get a chance to practice what you preach but messes up every time. This has been the case with you and Dad. Maybe you need to begin to live in the cellar and not in a room where humans live" "Dear, you don't understand how powerful the moon is," Dad said to defend his misbehavior. "You can judge us now but when you are old enough to take a wolf form you will feel what we go through and you will not judge us anymore," Mom said in a remorseful voice. "Mom I wouldn't be a hypocrite, as you and Dad. Who says we should stay true to our human but do the opposite" I reiterated with more concern over the whole situation because they had eaten my loafers which I should have worn to school this morning. I was still trying to check the extent of the damage to my shoe, Mom came close to me grabs my loafer's shoe off my hand, and drop it into the dust bin, "Actually you thought we are the only ones that are eating what we shouldn't eat?" Mom said as she drops my loafer shoes into the bin. "Maybe you should consider getting some meal, a chicken, or whatever into the storerooms so you don't get to eat my shoes again," I said softly, trying to show some respect to my Mom and Dad despite how terrible they are with hiding and control their werewolf abilities. I was furious now. As we spoke Dad was already sipping some hot coffee. My parents are just a pain in the ass. Taking coffee in the morning after eating my shoes for dinner. "That reminds me why are you dressed up like this by this time of the morning," Dad asked me. I felt like punching his nose, how will he not remember I have to go to school this morning. I will be killing my time if I get to respond to Dad's silly question. "Come, honey. Don't tell me you don't remember Rachel is going to school this morning" Mom tries to talk as if she is innocent of the offense. I have heard enough of their madness this morning. "I am going to miss the both of you" I gave the response I chose just to save my time as I walk away from them, heading to the living room exit door. "Okay good day," Mom said, " and don't go hitting me on the nose again" she yelled afterwords. I didn't bother to listen to her. As I got to the doorsteps, I felt a stamp on my mind about something. I thought should be forgetting something. I look downwards at my feet. Oops! I am barefooted. I have no shoes on my feet and that is the same Mom and Dad ate. I have to get another one and leave this weird house immediately. I sighed as more frustration hit me. I head back into the house, I have to get to my room and look for a shoe to wear to school. I didn't have many shoes, Mom and Dad had stopped going to work because of their inability to hide their wolf behaviors. So the little saving they had, we have to manage. I got to love my loafers shoe so much but it is gone now. As I stare at the rain boot in the cupboard of my room. I will be mocked if I wear this to school but I have no choice now. I can't miss school today, I will rather be mocked than miss lessons. That wouldn't kill me. I know I will get to graduate someday and have money to buy more shoes of my choice. I wear my deep blue rainbow, which I only wore when we had to pack the snow away from the walk away If it gets to form ice on the walkway. strolling into school, I began to have thoughts about all that happening at home, my parent's poor attitude. My mood got messed up and I felt like not wanting to interact with anyone. I just wanted to be alone. No friends gist, no teacher asking me questions. Just me being alone. I could hear my school friend laughing at me while I walk into the school premises. I feel embarrassed but I don't have to make anyone know what I am going through at home with my weird parents. "What are those you got on your feet?" Carlos my classmate asked scoffing at me. I wasn't expecting anything less of such an attitude from him though, so I will not feel offended. He is the one who has been trying to keep up with being my friend but as every day passes, he may not want to trust him with any of my secrets, so I am not telling or getting intimate with him. He has a loose mouth. "Don't mind me, Carlos, my shoe got eaten by a wild dog. Did you not hear that from the news last night?" I said to him chuckling with no more explanations. I think that solves the issue and makes him understand I have no option other than to wear this deep blue rain boot. "I have heard of no such news in our town, Rachel" He replied while elongating his neck to catch a glimpse of Scarlett who is coming behind me. "Have you guys not heard the news on weird dogs in the neighborhood. Come see its footprint, I got a picture of it from the internet" Scarlett said switching on her Nokia phone to make the screen visible to our eyes. The picture of the weird footprint of the Dog which she talks about pops up on her phone screen and I sighed, taking my face away from her phone screen. "Come on, Scarlett all Dogs act the same way you just said, There is nothing weird about this footprint on your phone screen" Carlos argues with a grin forming on his face to show his dissatisfaction with Scarlett's claims. "Carlos, this is proof. This is proof that there is something wired in the town" Scarlett said pushing her phone screen towards Carlos's face so he gets to see the picture clearly for himself. Carlos didn't want to believe what Scarlett said, She got angry walking out of their presence. Rachel was listening to Scarlett and Carlos's arguments about having strange werewolf Dogs in the town, without saying a word to them, to affirm whether Scarlet is saying the truth or not. That is less than her concerns at the moment. They are worried about a strange wolf in the town while her parents are already wolves and causing her trouble every day. They got into the class to take their lectures. At the locker, Scarlett sights that new members had indicated an interest in their school photography club poster. She screams out of excitement and it caught Rachel and Carlos's attention. They turned to the board to see what latest news is posted there at the notice board. "Finally" Carlos yelled.
