Her Dark Mind

Chapter VIII

I have my first class on my own but Travis and Trevor were kind enough to take me to my classroom, this place is honestly like a maze.

I show up a little late, of course, so as I enter my classroom many pairs of eyes look my way and the air in the room is so tense you could cut it with a knife. I look towards the teacher for any help what-so-ever and as I do she turns my way, probably noticing the sudden silence.

"Oh! You must be the new transfer student, Jamilah, I'm your Math teacher, Mrs. Edmunds" the teacher says as she sends a toothy smile my way and I smile awkwardly back, god I just want this to be over with. "Okay class we have a new student with us, Jamilah Blackerst. Go ahead, introduce yourself; what pack are you from? what are your hobbies? anything?" Mrs. Edmunds exclaims as she puts a hand on my back leading my to the front of the room.

From the front of the class I feel all pairs of eyes fall on my, feeling extremely vulnerable, I remember what I told myself 'this is your fresh start. Don't be a coward' or as Nyx so kindly put it, 'don't be a pussy'. So I look up at everyone, lifting my head and fixing my posture I introduce myself, "Hi, I'm Jamilah Blackerst, I come from the Crescent Moon pack" I state as I hear few gasps escape from lips. "That's all" I finish with and head to an empty seat at the back of the room not wanting to talk anymore.

I know I've technically been "kicked out" but I needed to say something.

As class goes on I feel a few stares and glances sent my way followed by hushed whispers, but I just ignore it, is this what the rest of the day is going to be like?

Finally, I get through the first three periods and heading off to my hour long lunch break, which will be followed by another lesson and then sports class.

I walk into the Cafeteria and I feel many sets of eyes on me as I walk towards what looks to be a buffet, this cafeteria looks like it's meant for royalty.

I put food on my plate making sure to grab enough to fuel my energy for the next few hours. As I'm going to find somewhere to sit I realise I don't know anyone in here, all the tables are packed and I would feel awkward sitting at a random table. I decide that sitting under a tree outside would be my best option.

I go to head outside when a firm hand on my shoulder stops me and a shiver creeps its way up my spine. I whip my head around to meet a set of gorgeous burgundy eyes, seeing the rest of his features allows me to relax a little bit.

"Woah there, no need to get scared, it's only me" Travis comments with a smirk plastered on his face, that's when I notice Trevor standing behind him chuckling.

"You could've given me a warning you know" I retort as I shake off his hold on my shoulder.

"Yeah I suppose I could've warned you but what's the fun in that" Travis replies, sending me a sly grin. 

"What do you want?" I question as I realise almost everyone was staring at us, not oblivious to the glares I was receiving from some girls. I guess these two guys are well known here and I swear if trouble follows me for this someone's going to get hurt and it's not going to be me, I want a fresh start and these two aren't going to ruin that for me.

"We want you to come eat with us, what do you say?" Trevor answers with pleading eyes, does he really want me to? Why me of all people? They seem sincere enough.

"Jamilah? Are you okay?" In hearing Travis's voice I snap out of my thoughts and stare at them, obviously looking confused as Travis repeats "Did you want to come eat with us?".

As I'm lost in thought again and lose all ability to speak, my wolf decides to take over and replies for me "sure, couldn't hurt to". As soon as I heard my response I force myself back into control and push her to the back of my mind. I'm gonna have to have a really big talk with her later.
