"I heard she is cursed by the Moon Goddess!"

"I heard she is cursed by the Moon Goddess!"

"What? She must be a devil in disguise! That's why Moon Goddess hates her!"

"Yeah, just look at her! Even Young Alpha can't stand her anymore."

The insults were getting harder and harder to swallow every day until I gagged. The constant insults with disgusted looks on top always made my day colorful. Note the sarcasm.

I had gotten used to them, those people in the top of food chain, to bless me with their attention in the form of hateful stares and their make-Heidi's-life-a-living-hell master plan. And, I should award them for being successful in making me feel nothing.

Yup. I was numb. But, at the same time, my heart was throbbing, aching, screaming for help.

Why, Nana? The magic of being kind does not happen to me.

A sudden pain struck my right temple, making my whole body slam the locker harshly and my books fly to the ground. The right side of my head felt like wanting to be separated from the left one, bringing my body to unbearable pain. A soft whimper escaped my lips as my right hand traveled to the source of my pain.

Great. I bet Keith will think that I really overdose on bruise relief gel now. He will ban me from entering his drugstore forever.

"How does your daily dose feel, One Eye?" Jax, the school's number 2 jock and our future Beta, sneered mockingly at me. Laughing sounds exploded along the corridor, cheering Jax's accomplishment in embarrassing me. Again.

I just stared blankly at the ground, not wanting to meet everyone's eyes, and stayed silent. I realized that the rule of being sarcastic was for my ears only and applied in my personal kingdom of mind.

"Now, now, you're mute, too?" He added, still with a mocking intonation. I heard the sound of his basketball hit the ground as he was dribbling it.

I whimpered again. Please, don't do it again. My head and body were throbbing in pain. I felt like wanting to break down in tears now. It was so painful.  

"Aww, is the little mushy One Eye angry? Oh, I'm scared!" They laughed stupidly again. My vision started to blurry as tears welled up in my eye.

"Oh, no! Oh, no! Dude, she's gonna explode!" I recognized the voice as Gael, our third in command. Then, when a sudden sob escaped my lips, he screamed in terror, "It's the tear attack! Everybody, cover yourself!"

And I could not help it but bursting in tears silently. People in the corridor started yelling and running in panic, while at the same time laughing hysterically. Their voices echoed in my mind like a buzzing bees. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

It was annoying.

I tried to crawl to collect my books that scattered on the ground. Tears kept falling from my eye as the dizziness started killing me slowly. When I reached my biology book near Jax's feet, I barely noticed a pair of sneakers which were familiar to me. Killian's.
