Mistake

An Unusual day at school

    The next day I woke up on my own and got ready for school. I quickly ran to the kitchen and grabbed bread to make myself toast before anyone stopped me, the bread popped out of the toaster and I grabbed it sprinting out of the house. “Yes! I made it out without getting hit! Today is going to be a good day.” I yelled out to the empty street as I started running to the cliff, after a little while I made it and spotted Rosy. I whistled to her jumping off the cliff, Rosy soared down and caught me. “Let’s head to school Rosy.” Rosy cried out in response.

    We were nearing the school when both Rosy and I heard a short quick whistle, at that whistle Rosy dropped me. “Ah! Rosy!” I was about to hit the ground when I felt arms catch me. “Hi Myra!” A cheerful voice cried out right beside me. “Zant! Why did you just tell Rosy to drop me like that!” I yelled out in shock. “I wanted to see your reaction! Is that a problem?” She said grinning, I chuckled, “You’re an i***t, I hope you know that.” We laughed and started running to school “You seem to be in a good mood today. Why is that?” Zant questioned as we ran. “I got out of the house without seeing a single person!” I responded. “That’s awesome!” She high-fived me and we ran into the school out of breath, then started walking to our lockers. A group of fairies and werewolf girls, who are known as sluts and rich kids, stood by the lockers and we both listened to the conversation. “Did you hear that there is a new kid coming today. I really hope it's a guy.” I rolled my eyes when the girl said that. "They always wish for a guy to fuck." I whispered to Zant, a smile rose to her face as she was trying not to start laughing. A girl suddenly ran and joined their group saying “Heather, (Who is the captain of the cheer squad) it’s Theron he is coming to school here!” My eyes grew wide remembering the conversation we had last night. I turned to Zant and was about to say something when a hand gripped my hair and slammed my head into the lockers. “You escaped from me this morning, but I still come to this school Myrana.” My brother Ralis’s voice rang through the hallway as I crumpled to the ground holding my head in pain. “MYRA!” Zant’s horrified voice rang through the hallway. Two guys were holding her back from helping me. Ralis kicked me to the ground and pinned me to the ground with his body. “Mom and Dad wanted for me to give you this.” The said that and started to punch me then his hand wrapped around my neck as he started to strangle me. My vision began to blur and voices were beginning to to drown out. My struggling started to die down as the world grew black, but the last thing I remember before I blacked out was the crack of a fist hitting someone's head and Zant gasping. A while later I woke up to Zant sitting next to me. “Zant, what happened?” I weakly asked her in a hushed tone. “Oh my god Myra you’re finally awake! I’m so happy!” Zant quickly came over and hugged me. “Your brother knocked you out. But you were out for such a long time, over an HOUR.” Zant looked me in my eyes while saying that. “What time is it?” I asked her. “It’s time for third period.”

“Okay, do you want to go to class, we will only have to go for half of it then its lunch.” I asked Zant. She nodded her head in agreement. “Come on, let’s go.” I got up and grabbed my bag and we both started to head to class. We approached the door of the social studies classroom and walked in. “May I ask why you two girls are late?” Our teacher Mrs. Sharon asked in a strict voice. “We were at the nurses office.” Zant replied to her calmly, “Do you have a note.” She asked we both nodded and pulled out a late pass. “Alright go sit down in your spots so I can continue with the lesson.”

“Yes, Ma’am.” We said in unison. We went to our seats and joined the lesson. 15 minutes later the bell rang and we bolted out of the classroom to the cafeteria, heading to our regular table we stopped seeing it surrounded by girls. I fake shuddered, “Disgusting.” Zant high-fived me and started laughing. “Lets go sit outside instead.” I said pulling her with me. We were almost fifteen feet from the doors when a voice rang out. “Hey slut, where the f**k do you think you’re going!” Both of our faces darkened. “Ralis.” We whispered in unison, I turned around to a sneering Ralis and his friends. “What do you want.” I demanded. “What? I can’t hear you with that mask on.” He started reaching out probably going to try to strangle me again but a hand grabbed his shoulder and suddenly he stopped, with fear in his eyes. “What do you think you are doing.” A low voice echoed around the cafeteria. I looked to the table of girls and they already dispersed coming to see what was happening. “If you lay a hand on her I will rip it off.” the person said menacingly. That was when I finally recognized the voice, my eyes grew wide in disbelief. Theron stepped out from behind Ralis and walked over to us. “Are you two okay?” he asked in a softer tone. “We are perfectly fine, thank you for checking Alpha Theron.” I said formally. “There is no need to be formal with me so just call me Theron, okay.”

“Okay Theron thank you.” I said nicely, I looked to an open mouthed Zant, rolled my eyes and nudged her. “O-oh, sorry thank you very much.” He smiled at her. “Why is Theron protecting that mistake and her friend?” Heather said to her friends. A lot of people heard this including Theron, he turned and glared at her, “She is not a mistake, she is unique.” he responded. I smiled softly and looked down. “Lets go.” Theron quickly grabbed Zant and I, then walked outside. “Thank you for saying that about me, You’re the second person who has ever said that.” I said slightly smiling. “Oh, I never caught your name from last night. Mind telling me?” Theron asked. “Sorry about that, my name is Myrana, but you can call me Myra and this is Zanternal.” I said finally introducing ourselves. “You can call me Zant, Zanternal is a mouthful. But Myra, you met Theron last night? Care to explain.” Zant turned her head to me questioning what happened. “Yeah, I met him when I went to the Crystal Moon’s pack to cook yesterday.” I turned to her answering the question. “Wait you were the one who cooked the risotto and lobster?” Theron suddenly spoke up. “Yeah, I hope it was to your liking.” I answered him. “The food was the best I've ever had! I might ever call you to come cook when we are having other packs over.” He said excitedly. “That would be amazing, I really enjoy cooking.”I said happily. “Hey people, it's almost time to go to class again.” Zant spoke up while she checked her watch. "Really? I thought we at least had twenty more minutes left." Theron said slightly confused. I pulled out my phone and checked the time. "Zant... your watch is broken again." I said calmly showing her that it was 12:37. "Damn it." She said sighing. "Just buy a new watch already. this is the third time in the past week." I said putting my phone away. "Zip it. It can last a little longer." She said pointing at me. "You said that two months ago! It's time to get a new watch!" I said trying not to laugh. "I only got it, what 1-2 years ago." Zant said ignoring what I said. "You got it 5 years ago." After I said that Zant went quiet until she finally broke the silence."You, me after school we are going to a watch store.Theron can tag along if he wants." I rolled my eyes and agreed.
