over the edge

The girl in the mirrior

     The mirror shower a very petite little girl with cherry red hair flowing past her shoulders, down to her knees. Her school uniform was very compact to fit her petite frame, her skirt resting on her upper thigh, her button up neatly stopping right before her skirt with her vest flowing over her shoulders and stopping at her chest. She had long black leggings that went up right before the hem of her skirt to match her uniform, her tail was snow white to match her fluffy little ears, her tail reached her ankles which was unusual for an omega. Her neat black shoes to go with.
 
    He loved every bit of how he looked in the mirror, from the detailed curves of his hips to the bright cherry color of his hair, he wouldn't change it for the world. This tiny girl in the mirror was actually a boy, his parents wanted a girl, so they got one and his name is Herax.
     Herax is the youngest of a family of 3, well now 2 anyway, his brothers. Zach was the middle child while his now deceased eldest brother, Chris where the best brothers you could ever ask for, they stood up for him when he couldn't and they took care of his when his parents wouldn't.
    
He is from a long line of pure breed Alphas so when they got the news that he was an omega, a very rare occurrence, life turned to bitter hell for the poor boy..
 
    Herax was beaten almost every day and lived in constant fear of his parents, he would always be called a disappointment, a mistake that needed to be fixed, a problem, a full on curse from hell.

     Herax was 10 when is brothers took him away from the hell he called home and they gave the best life they could to him, working themselves nearly to death to get him into school, home, food and he is forever grateful for their sacrafices.

     They had to join another pack to stay safe, that pack was the "Midnight Curse" which is the #1 fiercest pack in all the world and rightfully so, they wiped out whole packs during the war, they strike fear into their enemies.
 
   We entered their land as rogues so they heard our story and accepted us as one of their own, Zach and Chris had a harder time adjusting than I did, they had to find a job despite Alpha Pheo offering us help, of which denying because they had already accepted rogues so we where in debt to them.
 
   I finished elementary and middle school and today is my first day of high school, my dream was to become a doctor to save those who can't by themselves, but deep down I was haunted by the guilt of losing Chris.
 
   I was broken of being zoned out by Zach calling my name "Herax! Meet me down stairs when your ready! Don't forget to eat and I'll take you to school!" I rushed down stairs, almost falling but I caught myself at the last moment. "Hey be careful, I don't want you to get hurt." Zach said in a worried tone as I rushed my way to the table where I scarfed my breakfast. I went to the bathroom and quickly brushed my teeth then I walked out the door with Zach by my side.
 
   After 10 minutes of driving, we finally arrived at my new school. "Don't be nervous, it only another year of school, I'm sure you'll do fine." Zach said in a soft voice "Okay, I don't want to be late on my first day." I said as I was leaving the car but Zach grabbed my arm and said in a serious voice "Tell me if anything goes wrong, if anyone bullies you, I will make them pay." I gave him a quick okay, then I scurried off to the library.
I always loved reading, no matter what I was reading I always liked it because when your reading a story, it distracts you from all the shitty things in life and drags you into an imaginary place where you can be the hero and save the princess. I was reading the book To Kill a Mocking Bird, I had only just started it and I was already engulfed within the pages. I was brought back to reality by the first bell ringing signaling to go to first period.

     I entered the classroom quietly, I sat in the very back row in the corner next to the window. I guess I didn't notice when students started pouring into the classroom like a title wave crashing onto the soft shore, interrupting the peace within.

      I looked up to see the alphas son, Zaroth, sitting in the row next to me, talking to the boy next to him. I was shocked for the first two seconds because I wasn't expecting that but I quickly got used to it as I looked back into my escape from reality.

     The teacher finally walked into the roaring classroom, with a wave of his hand, he silenced everyone, "Good morning students, welcome to the first day of the next four years" This would be hell. "I am aware that you all are new here so please when I call your name, come up to the front and introduce yourself " Crap.... "Herax Masaki"

       I walked up to his desk in defeat and told him I couldn't do it, I have anxiety so it's hard for me to be social or be in places with a lot of people. He told me it's okay and to go sit back down as he called the next name.
 
   "Zaroth Kele", as he walked to the front of the room, he introduced himself "Hello I am Zaroth Kele and as most of you know, I am the alphas son." He said confidentially as he sat back down, the teacher continued down the list as I buried my nose back in the book.
I look up at my desk to see a small folded peice of paper landing on my desk, I start unfolding it as I read 'what's your name cutie? -Zaroth' was neatly writen on it , I write 'Herax' as I flick it back over, he tosses another one over. 'that's adorable, just like you ❤'
He wrote back as I look over at him with a small blush growing larger by the second, he looks me in the eye, I break it as I look down, afraid of eye contact. The bell rings for next class as the teacher dismissed us, I studied my schedule.
1- math
2- p.e.
3- science
4- orchestra
5 6 - ela
7- history
8- orchestra
I look up as I bump into someone in the hallway, I feel my forehead hit something rock hard, I look up to see Zaroth. I look away embarrassed and say sorry as I continue on.
I swear to God that every person that I passed slapped my ass, I was so confused as I finally made it to the girls locker room,

I changed into my shorts that looked the size of panties but I didn't mind and into my long sleeve t-shirt. As I put my stuff away, I started down the stairs as I pull my hair up into a high ponytail and met my coach on the track.
 
We had to do at the least 6 laps around the track, although I may be small but I can run fast as hell. I was tied for first place with Zaroth, my coach looked at me astonished that with my tiny body tied with Zaroth.
 
  I walked up the bleacher steps and I sat at the very top row in the corner and pulled out my book. Zaroth sat down next to me, he put his arm around me and I pushed it off. He has no clue what he's getting into.
The other girls that finished started talking amongst each other and I heard a small portion of it "that slutty bitch thinks she can take him from us ?!?!" I just got up and started walking to get a small cup of water, he followed like an obident puppy following his master.
 
   "What do you want Zaroth?" I say coldly not looking up from my book, "You " he responds with a flirty smile."You have no idea what you just said" I shot back. "Oh I think I do, because I like what I see."
I finally look up from my book as he grabs me by the waist and pulls me into his chest. I hear scattered gasps, mostly from the girls. I respond my elbowing him in the kidney, which I know from experience hurts like hell, his grasp loosens and I break away. I walk away quickly.
I'm pissed now
