Chapter 21
"I wish I knew the truth before it happen" -- Karla Beato.
Karla's POV.
December 5, 2013. Kennedy High on their way to Choir Class -- 12:50 pm.
The first bell to announce lunch was finally over ring. I ate half of my lunch excitedly. It was most marshmallows, nutella, strawberry jam and peanut butter sandwich. It was really really good! It make me believe I was back at Clifford's state, and he was right next to me smiling to me. It feels my chest with warming emotions. I took my backpack on my shoulder then my blue bag. I look to the side seeing Richard approaching us. Jacob got up from his seat moving next to me in a heart beat. I look up at him a bit confuse "I didn't imprint on her, Jacob" Jacob rolls his eyes not even amuse "Sure, I'll see you next week. I know when an imprinting happens, kid. You got it bad" Jacob mutters guiding me away from Richard and his crowd of werewolves. Richard doesn't look my way he stops Luna from following us. Jacob speeds off away holding onto me. I was a bit confuse, but I am pretty much used to him speeding off.
When I open my eyes once more. We were in a very open space. It was beautiful in so many ways. It couldn't really be call a room because it was outside an open space. It was probably behind the whole school. I stare at everything I could. Jacob still holds onto my waist walking around the open room. There was no ceiling only the blue skies. The forest behind us as beautiful as ever. I have never seen such an open space "It's beautiful, Jacob!" I look up at Jacob smiling ear to ear. Jacob stops walking staring down at me confuse. This is the first time I have seen him confuse. There wasn't any follow grins on his face "This is your first time outside, so everything you see is beautiful in your eyes" I nod to Jacob unable to truly understand what he mean. I was just happy about everything. There were stone floors below my feet. They seem very old and very damage along the years. There weren't any chairs around what so ever.
I felt Jacob tense up rapidly "Listen, Luna. Don't trust them to much" I look behind us noticing one of the guys whom was around the Alpha talking to Luna. She seems to be a bit defensive around him "She is actually sweet, Kyle. If you stop trying to be so full of yourself. You could notice how nice she is" Luna mutters in her defense. I felt a bit emotional knowing very well whom she was defending. Kyle sighs heavily moving Luna's hair out of her face "I can't let you get hurt once more, Luna" Kyle's features soften more than usual. Jacob rolls his eyes looking down at Karla. Luna moves away from Kyle not even wasting her time to speak with him. Kyle sighs heavily trying to control himself before walking away from the room. I look up at Jacob trying not to seem like I over heard everything which I did, and I feel horrible about it. Jacob seems natural as ever "What do you think of it?" Jacob ask me trying to clear my racing thoughts.
I look around the room noticing for the first time. There were students coming into the class. They weren't as many as I had hope, but a bit of a crowd was standing around. They were away from us, and I don't blame them. Jacob is terrifying enough "I like it. It's in an open space which means when they sing.. it must be beautiful" Jacob looks down at me unable to stop smiling. Luna looks up at me shaking her head "I shouldn't be surprise. You would of say something so innocent" Luna blurts out making me stare at her "I just said the truth. I.. I really like Chiloquin" Luna was staring at some werewolves on the corner. When she caught what Karla said. Every werewolves in the open space looks at Karla "I mean, is the first time for me to see a state so beautiful. I am glad Chiloquin gets to be the first thing I see" Luna's expression was a bit confusing. I couldn't read it at all. I was being truly honest with Luna and Jacob. I really really like it.
The Choir Class was very quiet staring at me. Even Jacob couldn't believe what I say. He was the first one to clear the silence by laughing. It was not a mocking laugh. His laugh was one of understanding "You have an adorable orbit. When are you going to stop being so cute" Jacob words made my cheeks turn 10 times redder. I was happy when I heard Luna laughing. The tension and anger on her features was gone. I guess, she wasn't expecting my answer. I look around noticing the other werewolves laughing too. My face was fill with a smile ear to ear. Jacob shakes his head looking at the door "Great, human girls. This day couldn't get any worse" I look at Jacob whispering this under his breath. I look towards the door looking a bit of a crew of 8 to 10 girls. They weren't together per say. A group of 3 were separate from the group. I really couldn't understand what was going on. Luna turns her head around then looking right at me. She rolls her eyes a bit upset. She moves closer to me smiling.
"The blond one in front of the crew of 3 is call Bianca Veromi. She is one Drama Queen. I'll suggest you not even look at her. The little twin Asian girls behind her are Diane and Diana BrentMoon. They are not yet werewolves, but they believe they are humans" I nod at everything Luna whispers to me. Jacob lets out a chuckle gaining Luna's attention "What?" She mutters for only Jacob to hear "I am starting to believe, every werewolves last name is either a moon or a pack in it" Luna stares at him crossing her arms around her chest "I don't find this funny" Jacob laughs loudly gaining the attention of the human girls "I was trying to amuse myself, Dear Luna" I see Luna rolling her eyes guiding us to a corner surrounded by werewolves. We were very far away from the humans. I look at them wondering what they are and about their race. Bianca was eyeing Jacob a bit oddly in my opinion. Jacob wasn't even paying attention to her what so ever.
The teacher came into the class gaining everyone's attention. I was a bit disappointed because I wanted to ask Luna about the human girls. I still payed attention in class taking in everything "Good Afternoon, Class. We have a new student today" Both teachers mutter in union. There were twins a female and a male as far as I can see both are werewolves. They encourage me to go in front of the class. There was this little hand made stage. I go up the stage staring at the teachers "Can I come down now?" The teacher shake their head as Bianca's crew laugh at my question. I was a bit nervous because my stage fright was kicking in. I take deep breath in and out knowing very well what they wanted. I don't sing in front of a public though. I look at the class feelings my emotions popping up "Look at this, we have a chicken in class. Sweety, if this isn't for you. Why are you in here?" The class was a bit blurry for some reason.
"You do know half of this class is standing in front of crowds, right?" the same voice said again. This time it was more mean -- I admit sounded a bit to cruel. It remind me of Loreine when she was being mean to people; however, Loreine would never be mean to me. I look down at the floor feeling my eyes fill with tears. I couldn't stop myself from crying. I really wanted Loreine here with me. I heard people laughing at the back of the classroom. I had enough as I ran out of the room "Shut up, Bianca. Can't you do anything better than make others feel bad?" That's the last thing I heard of Luna before I ran. I pass through people pushing them out of the way. I finally stop next to a column. I couldn't really stop as my tears fell down my face. I try very much to stop it because werewolves were staring. They didn't know what to do. A crowd was forming around me completely covering me. It wasn't helping my asthma attack.
I felt on my knees unable to see clearly. My glasses fell from my face as I try to stop myself from crying. I used to get pick on, but the feeling is still the same. It was just like yesterday, why does it hurt so much? Why was she saying does mean things? I didn't notice a path being made within the crowd. I was oblivious to the teenage boy approaching me. He looks down at me concern in his stern features. He didn't like what he was seeing "Go get her water, Kyle" The voice was just a far away whisper. I felt like I have hear it before. I couldn't stop crying it was embarrassing. Kyle didn't wait any time and ran off. I hear a pair of soft footsteps coming around me. They stop in front of me "Why is there a beautiful angel crying?" I sniff once more looking up at the teenage boy whom kneels in front of me. It was Richard, he was staring at me with concern. I was still crying a bit uncontrollably.
"Breath in and out" I look at him trying to breath in and out; however, when I breath in a horrible sound came out off my throat. It was like listening to many mirrors break. Richard stops me closing my mouth "with your mouth close, silly" I cover myself with my hands looking away from him. I felt him still there waiting patiently for me to calm down. I didn't understand why he didn't leave. It was a bit confusing at times. It wasn't his problem to calm me down. It was almost like he care for me; however, I just met him today. I breath in and out with my mouth close. My tears hasn't stop falling yet "Now, why are you crying beautiful angel?" My cheeks were flustered reddish. Richard pick Karla's glasses off the floor. He gives them to me staring back at Kyle. I place my glasses on cleaning my tears away. Richard gives me the water bottle "Drink this, Karla. It might help with the asthma" I look up at him startled.
Richard stands up giving me his right hand. I was placing my blue backpack and bag on holding on to the water bottle. I look up at him confuse. I wasn't really sure what to do "Take my hand. I'll help you up. It wouldn't be nice of me to let a lady on the floor" There were a couple of cough around us, but it was like they were far away. Richard waits patiently for my trembling hand to touch his. He smiles ear to ear for some reason. It was making me want to giggle uncontrollably. He helps me up without any struggle. I felt as soft as a leaf "There you go" Richard tells me smiling. I look down at the floor very shy. What is wrong with me!! "T-than-nk you, Richard" I tried to mutter out without stuttering which fail greatly. I listen to his laugh which again makes me giggle. This was very weird in so many levels. I somehow didn't really mind what so ever.
Richard hand were much bigger than I. I felt kind of very small compare to him. He was probably 6 feet tall. I look up when I notice I was being drag off somewhere. Richard was walking me out of the crowd. Kyle was walking next to me not really paying attention to me. He was staring at Richard's hands holding mine. When we were out of the crowd of werewolves. Richard stops walking "Are you okay, Karla?" He ask me softly. I look up at his back smiling "That's good" He turns around staring at me. He points to Kyle "These are my friends Kyle and JP. They come to school with me, so in any case you need anything ask them" I nod to him not really knowing why he was being so nice. I didn't want to take advantage of him or his friends. Richard seems very nice to everyone "They are the best friends in the world" I look up at him a bit disapproving "No, I can doubt that very much" Richard looks at me with a grin on his features.
"Is that so?" He ask me a bit amuse at my expression "I have way better friends than you. I know that for a fact" I mutter to him placing my two hands on my hips. He looks at me smiling widely "I don't believe that one bit" He mutters to me crossing his hands against his chest "YOU!!" I shouted a bit frustrated pushing him out of the way. I walk away from him listening to a soft chuckle "She is to adorable" Richard whispers under his breath as he sees Karla walking away.
