~Chapter 8~
1498 Words
The little munchkin lady arrived at the academy, carrying her mini luggage behind her while skipping happily. She had been in a good mood ever since she arrived, the reason being the fact that she finally stood up to her nightmares.
She skipped through the hallways passing by students and teachers, either waving or smiling at them. Though she did look as childish as she thought she did, that didn't stop her from feeling good about herself.
When she finally reached her dorm, she couldn't wait to enter while missing the smell of her bedsheets. She opened the painted pink door to her princess room as she liked to call it, always mentioning that it made her feel like a princess.
The little snowflake packed her clothes away, and put her old, worn out suitcase back in her closet. She decided that she would go to the mall to buy a new one, after taking a nap. She laid down on her soft, bouncy bed filled with her plushies.
She slowly fell asleep while talking to them, smiling and mumbling about how her day went, and how happy and proud she was for standing up for herself.

She finally woke up after 3 hours of sleeping on her cloud bed and went off to the mall to buy a bigger luggage. She aimed to spoil herself in Seoul, eating as much as she could and changing outfits every day, rather than every two days.
It also turned out that there would be a ball, and the supernaturals were to attend. It was supposedly a must to attend, the council ordered them. 'It is a win-win, no stress whatsoever' her cute little brain thought, as she picked a marble colored suitcase from it's section. She thought of roaming around the mall for a bit to find what she likes.
She definitely found some things, that she wished she didn't buy. Whenever she took a trip o the mall, she always bought more than necessary, but she kept and enjoyed them anyway.
The last time she bought a $500 headphone for Leo because he mentioned last time that his laptop speaker wasn't loud enough. He cried the whole movie night until he passed out on marshmallows. That silly boy.
When she was done, she went to the counter to pay for her goods, although someone did not seem to like themselves today for being crude to Bella.
"Hurry up and give it to me" The snarky cashier said. She looked bratty, matching her hideous personality. She was a brunette bratty snob that bullied every customer who had a less intimidating aura than hers. She seems to take pleasure in picking on people.
Bella gave the brat the goods she bought, and the latter snatched it with so much force, it could've ripped a normal werewolf's arm apart, but Bella isn't really a normal supernatural. Never was, never will be.
"You're so slow I had to drag it from your weak arms. Just bring the cash already." Bella didn't even flinch or look hurt, which infuriated the snobby cashier. She really did, as Bella thought, find pleasure in degrading others.
She pulled out the exclusive card given by the academy and handed it over to the cashier, who, by now, had turned pale. Her big mouth had gotten her in deep trouble, insulting a Winter and degrading her.
She was even more shocked that the Winter was a Female, but immediately shook it off, not believing that the fragile looking girl in front of her was the rumored alpha of the Watchers/Winters.
"Where did your snarky little hands get that! That is only meant for the Winter students you thief! Follow me, you're having a talk with my manager and the police" The oblivious snob sneered. The slow creature actually thought that she could finally make the supposed 'pup' feel bad.
"I knew from your appearance that you were a thief. All the scales and the strange white hair you have, while smelling like a wolf, and I can't even sense if you have a creature."
She just kept making rude snarky comments against the innocent girl she was dragging across the store, while the latter was worried that someone would take the stuff she picked out because each were the last of their kinds, especially the marble luggage.
The cashier; also known as Tammy, thanks to her name tag, just barged into her manager's office. No knocking, no questions, just door, open. Tammy, stomping, and Bella being dragged behind the spoilt brat trying to gently tell the girl to let go of her hand while the girl just ignored.
"What is the meaning of this Tammy??!" The manager screeched at both girls. He was about 5'9 at height, lean and pale, with dark circles, black hair, piercings, and all that paired with soldier pants, combat boots and a black shirt.
"Sir, I caught this...thing with a card that the Winter students use. She must have stolen it, I mean there's no way a weak, ugly girl like her would be a Winter student right?" She all but smirked, standing confident in front of her manager who looked disappointed, annoyed, and humiliated.
He walked around his desk and stood in front of both girls, proceeding stare at Bella while looking at her apologetically. "I'm very sorry for m-my worker's childishness Alpha, I can personally be your cashier if you'll allow it." He smiled, his charm making the snobby cashier melt. 'So she likes him,' the innocent yet firm Alpha concluded.
"It is perfectly fine, she probably just didn't know. She can still be the cashier, y'know if the stuff I picked isn't already taken..." The manager quickly ushered the pale snob out while trying not to trip over his loose shoelace.
She stumbled over her word as she apologized to the girl she had harrassed while telling her what she had to pay. Before leaving, Bella turned to face the cashier, smiled, and asked if she could meet.
"That's great. I can save a bit of my time before my flight. I really need to talk to you, don't be late ok?" Of course the presently naïve cashier nodded, and it was quite surprising how different she was a few minutes ago.
And that was how Arabella spent her day at the mall. She got home, and started arranging her room, decorating it with everything she bought. She carried on with her work, but then her stomach started to rumble.
Craving a subway salad, she took out the ones she bought on the way, and decided to take the one without the teriyaki chicken, saving the best for later.
She placed it down on her blue bedside table and went ahead to finish doing her dresser's makeover, transforming it into her personal computer corner. She was almost done, when she heard shuffling, crunching, and soft patting on her wooly carpet.
She quietly crept on the floor, with a bat in her hands which belonged to Leon, and was shook when she saw what gathered there. Or who.
There were 2 rabbits gathered around her salad, feasting on it. She just chuckled and smiled looking at them being cute, but was still confused how they got in her dorm. Then it occurred to her that there was a hole she hadn't fixed yet that was by her door.
A hole that only a rabbit could fit. She quickly went out, after dressing up of course, to meet her professor and tell him about the problem. She barely caught him as he was preparing to leave. "Sir! thank you so much for stopping. I have a...slight problem..."
He nodded for her to continue, and she did. He just sighed tiredly and she looked at the old man apologetically. He opened a room full of doors that already had hinges on them, paired with their screws in a tiny zip lock.
"This doesn't happen often, sorry. Some experiments got out of hand last year, and no one bothered to fix it." She brushed it off and thanked him for offering to fix her door.

After a few minutes, it was done. She quickly walked back to the two bunnies that were passed out. They probably had a lot and were full. She carried them and put them on the bed, then went to carry her laundry basket and put a blanket in it. She placed them in it, and they slept, hopefully peacefully.
She was about to take her other salad, when something fluffy brushed her leg. She looked down and, alas 2 other bunnies. She chuckled. 'What a handful' She also carried them and put them in her old travel bag after lining it with a lot of clothes, to avoid the metal under the bag causing discomfort to the cuties.
Then she took her salad, cleaned the rabbits' mess, and went to sleep, looking forward to her meeting tomorrow.
