Life of a Hybrid

Chapter 3

As we all went our separate ways I began to think of all of my first days of school from preschool to so on. I prayed to the moon goddess that she would protect me from making a fool of myself in any of my classes. I took out my school schedule and started skimming through it. My first class is Advanced European History, I heard rumors about that class that it was absolutely horrible and that the professor was a total ass with all of his students especially to all of the female students. I honestly am not going to deal with any of his crap I have sacrificed way too many years of my life to just have this pompous ass get in the way of my goals.

The History department was on the other side of the campus so it took some time to get there, the two-story building was extravagant. All of the walls were made out of glass so you can imagine how all the classes looked. I was already three minutes late, sweat started to accumulate on my forehead most likely from my being nervous. The automatic doors swooshed open and I hit the up button for the elevator. The doors opened and a stampede of people rushed out, I had no time to waste so I just started to push my way through the crowd. I pressed the button for the second floor and felt the elevator slowly lift to my destination.

Walking at a fast pace I passed my classes that were already in session, I took out my schedule once more and checked the classroom number. Room 215. I opened the door and slid into the first available seat I could find.

"Nice of you to make it to my class miss..."

"Adeline."

"well miss. Adeline. If you can not manage to come to my class on time, then why do you even bother to come to school at all. Is school such a bothersome thing to you?"

he couldn't have just let me walk into class and go on with his lecture could he, nooo he just had to stop his whole lecture to make a total full of me. I didn't want anything more than to just cuss him out and storm out of class but what kind of lady would I be. As his lecture went on I couldn't help envisioning ways that I would kill him. Everything told me to just get up and say fuck you! And just walk out like I owned the bitch but again, that's not being civil. My eyes drifted to the clock every few seconds wondering when this stupid class was going to end. If it wasn't for the fact that his class was a requirement I would just quit as soon as I was able to get my hands on a laptop.

"Alright class that's all for today I want all of you to read chapters one through six and have it all annotated by tomorrow." Everyone got up at once and started rushing through the door.

"Miss. Adeline I would like to speak with you for a moment or two". Fuck what else does this guy want? You know what I had enough of this guy. I got up and just tried my best to blend in with the crowd, I hope he just thought that I was one of the first ones to leave. I rushed down the hall and decided on taking the stairs since it would be much faster than having to wait on an elevator. I burst through the door and descended the stairs taking two at a time while at the same time praying that I didn't eat shit. I remember back in high school when my friend Xiomara and I were leaving AP Lit and we saw a kid fall down a set of stairs. Ever since that day I always make sure that I have a death grip on the rails just in case my feet decide to stop working.

As soon as I got out of the building I spotted my friend Xiomara I couldn't help but laugh a little I don't know why but I always happen to have flashbacks of the stupid stuff we've done back when we were younger. Like that one time, we were in my room and I found a lighter so we decided to make a heart shape out of hand sanitizer. Just seeing how the fire would turn into a beautiful blue color was fascinating.

"Hey girl how was class?" she asked with a huge smile.

"It was the worst freaking experience ever; I seriously would not wish that embarrassment on anyone else!" I couldn't help but feel a little teary-eyed I mean come on how can anyone do such a thing have they completely forgotten how it is to be a student.

"that bad huh?" she looked at me with weary eyes.

"you have no idea." As we continued to walk we both grew quiet. I looked around me seeing the leaves blow around the campus. I always loved the fall, feeling the wind rush against my cheeks. Having to wear jackets or sweaters and scarves. I feel like I am the happiest during this time of year. Every year since I was able to turn into a wolf I would wait until everyone in my household would fall asleep and I would slip outside and go for a run. Lately, I haven't been able to do that given my living situations have changed. I know if any of my friends were to find out they would want to go out with me and make it into a whole bonding experience, however, there are times when a girls gotta be alone.

"we're here!" Xiomara exclaimed. My head snapped up and I instantly smelled fresh coffee beans. I couldn't help but take a deep breath, I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I love the smell of coffee beans. My friends and I always make it a habit to go to this chic little coffee shop not too far from campus. It is so peaceful and quiet. We love to come and type our essays or just do homework while we sip some tea or some fraps. Xiomara and I spotted our friend in the way back of the coffee shop near the stage where they sometimes have poetry night. I despise that even I hate listening to people read their poetry, it honestly makes me feel a little depressing.

"hey, guys long time no see!!!" I shouted. I gave them all a quick hug and plopped down on the seat next to Melanie. Natalie was on her IPad like always on either twitter, Facebook, or Snapchat. I ordered my vanilla bean and just sat there just listening to what everyone had to say. I couldn't help but smile the whole time, I just absolutely love when we are all together it reminds me of when we were in high school and had no care in the world. 

I unpacked my laptop and I opened up my google drive,  I have to edit my notes from my history class and I have to add some stuff that the professor went over on the syllabus as I was typing away I couldn't but get sidetracked by the couple that was sitting by the small fireplace, they look so happy and so warm in each other's arms. I couldn't help but feel a little sad just looking at them, I wanted something like that. I don't know why but lately I have been feeling so cold and lonely lately. Like if I am missing someone in my life. I know that I have my Best friends and I am always smiling and laughing with them, but sometimes I feel like I need someone else. when I think that I can't help but feel a little selfish but I just don't know anymore. I feel a hand rest on my arm. 

"Are you okay Ade?" I look up and meet xiomara's eyes, xiomara and I go way back so we are so used to each other that either one of us know when the other is feeling down or if there is something wrong. 

I give her my best smile, "of course everything is fine! I just zoned out hahaha." she stays looking at me for a second, I know that she doesn't believe me but she doesn't push she just gives me a smile and nods. I just can't get this fog out of my head! Its so frustrating!
