Wolfing out. The art of transforming from human to beast. I did it last night out of pure anger. My hands transformed into paws with massive claws. Then my face switched from human to wolf with razor sharp teeth. Ears sprouted from my hair and my body hunched over until I was on all fours.

I didn't do much as a wolf though just went out into the woods and tore up the ground, scratched trees with my claws. It felt strangley relaxing when I was all finished when I was human again, lying on the mud and leaves the only noise were the night owls and my heavy breathing.

I was not at all prepared for the day ahead of me. I was too see my parents this afternoon and I was a complete mess. Thorn stayed by my side all night after she got back from xaviers dorm as comfort. I cried and yelled and ranted all night to thorn who listened with open arms.

the word betrayed couldn't even describe how I felt. It was deeper than that much more twisted and bitter. it intertwined itself with every nerve, every muscle of my body.

Thorn had left to go prepare for the parents arrival with the rest of a decorating committee while I was left alone to get ready for a busy day ahead of me.

who knows maybe my judgmental mother is the perfect thing to lift my mood. sarcasm by the way.

I couldn't care less about uniform right now so I decided to completely abandon the idea of wearing it and wear something that showed ajax and enid that I wouldn't take any shit.

I put it on throwing on a black beanie to match the look. It kind of mocks ajax in a way. I pretended I didn't care by doing all this stuff but trust me anything can set me off which is why i'm really anxious for the day ahead of me.

I blasted music through my alexa and danced around my room singing my heart out. Traitor by olivia rodrigo started to blast around the room.

I scrunched up my nose and took a deep breath expelling the anger out my body. The chorus everyone's favourite part of the song I needed to sing this one loud so everyone could here.

We welcome petty energy with open arms over in my dorm.

"you betrayed me! and I know that you'll never feel sorry for the way I hurt, yeah you talked to her when we were together, loved you at your worst but that didn't matter!" I screamed the lyrics at the top of my lungs.

The sound of metal clashing against eachother and the creak of rusty ancient gates opening stopped my singing.

"alexa. stop." I walked out onto the balcony of my door and saw cars pulling into the nevermore driveway. Not already. why so soon? I wasn't ready to see my parents yet.

I started to panic and I paced back and forth on the balcony. "evelyn please can I speak to you?" someone yelled from faraway. I slowly turned to the sound to see enid on her balcony staring at me desperately.

I wanted to talk to her for a split second but then I remembered she was part of this, it wasn't just ajax.

"no," I yelled back blankly before stepping back into my dorm.

"own it evelyn. Your parents are here and you've been having breakdowns all last night, but that doesn't stop you." I looked at myself in the mirror staring at a girl in the mirror I could barely recognise.

This was a girl I used to see all the time as a little kid. This girl was evelyn but almost completely unrecognisable. This was the evelyn that would appear everytime I felt absolutely horrible and sorry for myself.

Why was this girl here now? You know what evelyn your a wolf you don't let anyone trample all over you, you trample all over them.

The girl faded away in the mirror and left the reflection with the evelyn everyone here was used to.

I walked out of the dorm into the quad that was full with parents hugging their kids so violently it looked as if their eyeballs would pop out any minute.

Thorn ran up to me and smiled. "theres the evelyn I know! I was beginning to think I lost you!" she elbowed me in the side while she dug around the cake on her plate with a fork.

"so did I." I said smiling at her and giving her a quick hug. "your a real friend and I trust you so don't do anything to me okay?" I looked her dead in the eyes and she nodded slowly at first. "I won't I promise you that." She then walked off to go talk to her family leaving me alone to face mine.

I walked over to them smiling at some people who gave me looks of pity.

"hi mam, hi dad." I said to the adults that towered over me with emotionless expressions on there faces.

"hello evelyn, I hope your not hoping on destroying any necklaces today?" My mother spat at me and I backed away nerves tingling all over my body telling me to feel upset by that.

"nice to see you to. Also that was 6 years ago mother let it go." I scoffed rolling my eyes at the woman. I lost my bonds with my parents 6 years ago and we were never really close after that.

"what happened? what did I do?" I asked looking at my mother who looked so done with me already. She sighed, "evelyn why don't you go hang out with ajax again this year like you do every year instead of spend time with us?"

My lips pressed tightly against eachother and my eyes began to sparkle with tears.

"he's not my friend anymore I-"

"enid!" My mother screamed in excitement rushing over to her my dad following.

"I can't with you both!" I screamed causing everyone to go silent in the quad and turn to look at me. "you used to both love me but I messed up once and now i'm just not enough. You expect "more" from me!"

"that is no way to speak to your parents!" she yelled back at me clenching her fists and gritting her teeth at me. Fire may aswell have been coming out her nostrils.

"You stopped being my parents 6 years ago!" I screamed and that made my parents go into stunned silence.

"ajax go save your girlfriend from that insane girl." I heard ajax's mam say from the other side of the quad as it was so deathly quiet.

I blinked slowly making a tear escape my eye. "you practically disowned me, don't you remember?" I swallowed the lump in my throat as I argued with my silent parents.

"If you ever talked to me for longer than a minute maybe you would realise that I was struggling!" I paused looking at them both and Enid who looked like she was about to burst into tears.

"You two put me in therapy!" I yelled this louder then I should've and thats when I cracked. I broke down into tears sitting on the floor leaning against the wall hugging my knees and sobbing into them.

I looked up at them, "you would've realised that me and Ajax are no longer on speaking terms, that me and Enid have fallen out, that you've actually destroyed me because you weren't there for me ever," I practically whispered this but everyone had heard it.

"well?" I sniffled wiping my tears from my chin. "aren't you going to say something?" I asked impatiently.

"I should've thought twice before having you."

"fucking unbelievable, you delusional woman!" I screamed as I got up and left the quad silently. Everyone was staring as two tears rolled down my face.

The doors of the quad slammed shut behind me but the scene behind it was still quiet, silent even as they had just seen evelyn sinclair's vunerable side.

All in favour of killing the parents say
"I"

No but honestly we just should murder her at this point like-
