“You go ahead take a shower first, I’m gonna bump some music and don’t worry I have all kinds of music on there.”
“Alright I’ll be out in a sec.” She got her stuff and headed into the shower.
I decided to play my rap playlist starting with “Mr. Happy” by ICP. I nodded my head to beat. I made my bed and got all my shit together. Soon there was knock on the door. I opened to find the welcome crew in the hall the three jerk-offs of the school. “Hey is Lori in?” I just gave them my death squint. “Hey look we just want to welcome her to the academy.”
“Look Lori is a pretty good girl but I warn you now if one of you jerk-offs try to play her she ain’t gonna cry about but she’ll get back at you guys and I’ll be there to help you got it?”
“Awww, it’s cute when girls try to act tough.” I growled at Joe. “Oh, feisty I like that kind.” I kicked his shin and he let out a cry and rubbed his knee. “You bitch!”I smirked. “Thee bitch, you know that’s funny I thought I was a witch, but you people never make up your minds, do you now?” I smiled sweetly at them. “Nobody likes someone with a used up face like yours, you can never get a guy.” It was Roy the leader of the pack. I cringed at the comment, ouch, that hurt more than I thought it would.
“Hey, Puck, you can go ahead and shower now,” Lori called from the bathroom. “Remember what I said Roy.” I flipped them off and slammed the door on them. “Who was that?” I shook my head. “Lori just promise me you’ll watch out for a pack of three guys hitting on girls I’d hate to see them take another girl away into their stupidity.” Lori looked confused at me. “Whatever just don’t talk to me when we’re in school you know how I feel about my social status.”
I frowned. My attempts at making friends suck such monkey balls. I sighed exhausted of the day already. Tomorrow you can rest don’t worry about it, just another Friday in this shit hole.
I took my original seat in the back, and I set my head on the desk. Nobody likes me, just because I’m different but I’m not complaining. I have weirdly white hair. I have big, ugly scars going down the left side of my body, a piercing on my eyebrow, tongue, and lip, and I have tattoos on my arms, sides, back and my collarbone area. I don’t see the difference a lot of people have tattoos and piercings at the academy. I guess the dragon heads on my collar bone can really freak someone out. The dragons come up from each side of my shoulder onto my collarbone and they’re breathing fire in the direction of my cuts and burns on my neck. The third dragon wraps around my neck as it also fires at my injures. Is that what freaks them out? Or is it the fact that I have an eye tattooed on my back right below my neck?
Hey don’t get me wrong I have nice tattoos like a rose tree growing from my back to the side of my stomach. I also have a vine of thorns spelling out my mom and dad’s name with a rose at the end of the name. And the little crescent moon and stars on my left wrist. I have a lot of tattoos I guess but they all have a meaning. I don’t know about the snake around my right middle finger, I just like that one.
“Puck!” I looked up to find everyone staring at me. Crap I fell asleep again! “What’s up Mr. Ernst,” I smiled. “Are you paying attention to the class?”
“I don’t know Mr. Ernst it seems the class is pay attention to me at the moment.” “So it seems, yet I find the defendant guilty.” I put up my hands in surrender, “Whatever floats your boat sir.” He chuckled and got back to notes and I quickly flashed written all the notes I need for the next test. Hell, if I wanted to I could just get the answer right from his head but I don’t want to seem like I’m cheating so I’d get one or two answers wrong. It’s not a debate class but a science class. We just debate over different theories.
The door opened and the headmaster walked in………with the boy I feed from last night. Crap! He doesn’t know it was you so just act cool.
Oh, God the voice came back. Hey, didn’t I help you the other day?
I could hear it pouting in my mind. I growled lightly at the voice. Oh, I do hope he seats here.
Are you crazy I don’t need his delicious blood anywhere near me. Ah, see you do like him.
What?! No! I don’t even know the guy. But you could get to know him.
“Students this is Matt Damonz he is new and I hope you can all help him be welcomed here.” She smiled and gestured for Mr. Ernst to go ahead and finish for her and then she left. “Well you heard the headmaster class, say hello to Matt.” The class said hello. “So Matt tell us a little about yourself.” He shrugged, “I enjoy music and art.” Mr. Ernst nodded and smiled, “Well Matt you can go seat yourself over at Puck’s table, and she does need a lab partner.” I stood up, “I object your honor!” Everyone looked over at me startled. “I believe the court would like it to be so that Matt should sit with Brittany.” Everyone gasped at my request. Some even applauded, “All in favor say ‘aye’.”
“Aye,” said half of the class. “Mr. Ernst I do believe the people have spoken,” I smiled sweetly at him. “But I do believe the judge can over-rule that and so Mr. Damonz sits next to you case dismissed.” Everyone groaned and said they’re sorry to Matt for getting a seat next to the evil witch. I sat back down and pouted and stopped when I saw Mr. Ernst do the same thing. I giggled cause he is the coolest goofy teacher ever.
Matt took his seat next to me and the class resumed. “Hey, so your name’s Puck right?” I bowed my head, “At your serves my league.” He laughed, “Hey your funny, I don’t know why nobody likes you.” I shrugged, “I guess I seem dangerous with my, well this.” I gesture to all of myself. “Well, I like you your pretty cool.” I tsted at him, “Oh, you poor boy didn’t you know I’m too sarcastic and just a social disaster,” I said in the best hair dresser voice I can pull off. He laughed and smiled, my heart fluttered.
See, don’t deny it you like him.
I growled at the voice and covered my mouth too late. I looked over at Matt and his eyes widened. Shit! I turned away and we didn’t speak for the rest of the period. The bell finally rang at my mercy and I was the first to be out.
I survived half of day, and I headed to lunch. The food here was, well, ok I guess. I usually pay the lunch lady extra so I could get two raw, bloody slices of steak. She doesn’t ask any questions. I got my double baggie of goods and thanked the lunch lady. She simply nodded like she always does. I smiled and walked off to my favorite place in the woods. “Sanctuary,” my tongue savored every letter of the word.
Crunch, Crunch! I turned around to see someone in the distance and they’re headed my way. I quickly scaled one of the trees and jumped to where the person was. I looked down in curiosity. They were looking around, so obviously they were looking for something. But what? I looked at the direction they were headed to.
I screeched like a hawk, and banged on the tree with fury. They’re headed to my sanctuary. I had to stop them! They looked in my direction trying to find the source of the noise. I growled in their direction, slipped out of my clothes and I tucked all my stuff in a hole the tree had. And turned myself into a wolf. I dropped out of the tree and turned to their direction. I bounced on them, blinded by fury. The person cried out in pain as I bite down on their arm. I cackled at their pain.
The person pushed me off. I crushed on a tree and cried out in pain. “Nice doggie, good doggie.” That voice, Matt? I finally stopped to look at him and he was bloody because of what I did. I whined and cringed at what I did to him. He smiled and walked over to pet me I ducked and growled at him again. What was I thinking? He’s going to invade my sanctuary. I charged forward to attack again, but he grabbed me by my collar in a flash and pinned me down in the floor. I scratched at his hand and tried to bite his arm again, but he was too strong. Nobody can be stronger than me, unless--- no! He can’t be like me.
I gave up and stopped struggling under his grip. I quickly concentrated on hiding anything supernatural about me. I’m just a wolf to him. He let go of me and I whined and licked his hand in apology. He patted my head and I smiled at him. He got up and said, “Why is your hair white and not brown or black.” I tilted my head at him confused. “You remind me of a girl I used to like, but she disappeared out of my life.”
I tilted my head confused. He chuckled, “Well we were suppose to go trick-or-treat and then well, I miss her a lot, she just left without saying good-bye.” He then looked closely at me. Gently he touches my forever gone eye, “What happened to your eye girl?” I cringed and put my paws over my face. “It’s ok it’s your business, can you help me find a lake, I know it’s around here somewhere.” He then flashed out of my view. Crap! I followed his flash and was right behind him. He stopped at the base of the woods. A couple more trees and he’ll be at my sanctuary. I tugged on his pants with my teeth begging him not to go. I wouldn’t want to kill him.
“What’s up girl?” I shook my head
