Hope's Best friend

Comfort

I lay in my bed watching the movie Divergent. I cant believe I was only two when this movie came out. It's so good.

At this point in time I wish I could live in that place. Life would be a whole lot easier. I wouldn't need friends because I would be defending people. I wouldn't have to think about why my mother left me or if she is even still alive. I wouldn't have to worry about Hope ever talking to me. I'd just fight. No friends, no family. Just me.

I hear a knock on my door. I take out my headphones and put down my tablet. I open my door. To my surprise I see headmistress Salvatore.

"Mrs. Salvatore? What are you doing here?" I ask.

"You did a forbidden spell." She goes past me into my room.

"Why would you think that?" I ask.

"Please Lillian I know everything that goes on in this school. Did you really think you could get away with it?" She explains.

"No." I exhale. I sit on my bed.

"Now the question is. Why did you do it?"

"I had a dream. But it wasn't a dream. It was a memory. It was the night my mom died. Except I dont think she did."

She looks sad. "What do you mean Lillian." She comes closer to me. Comforts me.

"I think my mom is alive. Mrs. Salvatore. That is why I did that spell to remember that memory. I'm sorry." I start to cry.

Mrs. Salvatore hugs me. She is acting like my mother. Comforting me. I needed this.

Today is Wednesday. Also known as the day Hope is coming back. I wake up and get in my uniform. A navy blue jacket over a white collared shirt, I match it with a navy blue and light blue checkered skirt. I put on knee high socks and black flats. I pull my hair in a ponytail and start on my makeup. Foundation, bronzer, highlighter, light eyeshadow, and some lipgloss. I never wear makeup but today I wanted to look nice. I dont know why I want to impress Hope. I know makeup isn't gonna help. But makeup makes me feel a little more confident.

I grab my bag and head to class. First class is a normal one. World history. Learning about world war two.

I sit in my seat at the back of the class. Hope isn't in this class. But Grayson is. Hes a very smart very handsome wolf. In line to be alpha. Well hes training to take the alpha down. That's how it works here. We dont kill to be alpha, we beat them up and they hand over there leadership.

Anyway I decide to sit next to him. I've been crushing on him forever.

He waves at me. I smile back him. We start class and I zone out. I'm Aceing this class so I'll be fine zoning out of one class.

Class ends and I head to the next one. Advance witches spells. My favorite class. Hope is in this one. I walk in and see her. Shes sitting in the opposite place we usually do. I try to sit next to her. But she uses a spell to move my seat across the room. Ugh. She really is pissed. Class starts and we are reviewing for a test tomorrow.

........

School is over. I go back to my room to study and do homework. Suddenly a note shows up on my book.

'We need to talk. H' it says. I write back immediately. 'My room tonight. After dinner.'

I say the incantation "Touve mon se kavo. Touve mon se kavo." And throw the note in the fire. Now we wait for to show.
