Sorry for the delay. The damn electricity company left me without light supply for more than two days :u. In a while I will upload another chapter which will be yesterday’s one.
…
In one of Nevermore’s numerous classrooms, the 12th-grade students were having a class. The subject being taught was Advanced Werewolf Transformations.
So, in the class, there were only werewolves. There were about thirty students, far more than the psychics, who were barely in the double digits.
“That’s the key to controlling your transformation. No matter if it’s a full moon or daytime,” said the professor, who had a long, unkempt beard, long hair, and crescent glasses. His appearance was very scruffy.
“If you want to work in the council, you must control your transformation, or you will be very limited,” added the professor. You couldn’t take on dangerous creatures or criminal outcasts if you depended on the full moon to have your full power.
Just then the bell rang, signaling the end of the class, “That’s all for today. This is your last year, and it will be tough. Your rankings will be important for your future. Try hard and always be up to date. You may go,” said the professor closing his book.
With class over, the students began to put their things away and talk to their friends as they got up from their desks.
At a desk, a girl with light brown hair was standing still with her eyes fixed on her book.
“Gia, let’s go eat,” said a long black-haired Asian girl with long black hair, approaching the brown-haired girl.
“Erika… Yeah, let’s go,” said Gia, putting her things away and walking towards the cafeteria with her best and only friend at Nevermore.
“What’s wrong?” asked Erika, looking at her friend strangely. She was always chatty and upbeat. It was rare for her to be silent in the cafeteria.
“I was thinking about what the professor said. It’s our senior year, and we’re just as unpopular as we were our first year,” said Gia in a depressing mood.
“Don’t remind me… People confuse my name,” said Erika, catching her friend’s mood.
“We can’t go on like this! We have to make our mark before we finish high school!” said Gia with a new sting in her eyes. Her attitude took a 180-degree turn. She couldn’t stay depressed any longer.
“It’s easier said than done. We are mixed races. I can see the invisible barrier they put up when they talk to us,” Erika said, getting even more depressed.
Both Gia and Erika were mixed-race. In Erika’s case, her father was a werewolf and her mother was a vampire. She ended up having her father’s werewolf genes. She was not lucky enough to have both genes. Otherwise, she would be very powerful and superior to her classmates. Who could underestimate her?
As for Gia, it was worse. Her father was a normie, and her mother was a werewolf. She was born with a higher percentage of outcast genes and lived with her mother from a young age since her father abandoned them.
Her bloodline, not being 100% werewolf, was weaker than that of the average student, so everything related to her powers cost her more. The werewolf transformation was only achieved a few months ago, when most had achieved it a year and a few months ago. She was a late bloomer.
“You must be positive! There’s a party tonight. We can go and start leaving our legacy. Jack will go,” Gia said, with emphasis on the latter.
“Jack C?” asked Erika with renewed interest. Gia nodded with a slight smile. She knew her friend had a crush on Jack since they entered Nevermore.
Jack is one of the most popular students in his senior year. Unlike the other popular ones, he’s nice to everyone, which is why Erika ended up falling in love with him.
“But he already has a girlfriend. And the worst part is that his girlfriend is Riley,” said Erika, getting depressed again. Riley was one of the most popular girls in her senior year and a scary girl. She didn’t understand how someone as nice as Jack C could be with her.
“You don’t have to worry about that. I heard the two of them fight. I don’t think it will last long, though, since they always fight and then come back… But this is your chance to strike up a conversation with him,” Gia said in a low tone, approaching Erika.
“Oh… It’s true. It’s the best chance I’ll ever have… How do you know all that?” asked Erika.
“If I want to stop being invisible, I must be aware of all the rumors and gossip. I’ve eavesdropped on several conversations,” replied Gia, puffing out her chest with pride for
some reason.
“You have my respect. Fine, we’ll go to that party today!” said Erika, who also wanted to stop being unpopular.
Later that night, both girls dressed as best they could and slipped out of their dorm room in the direction of the clandestine party. It was to be held in a disused hall near the gymnasium. The seniors had set it up for a party.
“It’s here. Quite a ways from the main building,” commented Gia, seeing several familiar faces entering the hall through a double door. Music could be heard on the other side.
“Better. If any teachers find this, it won’t be any good,” said Erika, feeling nervous for several reasons. First, because it was a clandestine party. If they were caught, they would be punished. Second, because they had to leave their mark, something she saw as unlikely.
“Let’s go before they close,” said Gia, taking Erika by the arm and walking quickly.
“Stop. Only seniors are allowed,” said a tall, dark-haired boy who was standing guard at the door.
“We are seniors,” said Gia, and the boy looked at her strangely. As much as he wanted to make memories, he couldn’t remember either of the two girls.
“We had a class with you today, Archie. In Advanced Werewolf Transformation, I sit on your right side,” Erika said.
“Oh, sure… Come on in,” said Archie, not remembering, but since they knew where he sat and the advanced werewolf class, it must be true.
As they were about to enter, three girls blocked the exit. The middle one was a tall brunette with long black hair. Gia and Erika recognized her as Riley Brielle. The most popular and bad girl in their grade.
“No half-breeds allowed at this party,” Riley said with an evil grin, sipping alcohol from her
glass.
‘Oh, it was the half-breeds,’ thought Archie, remembering that there were two half-caste outcasts in his class. As far as he was concerned, he didn’t care about such things. He didn’t discriminate, but he wouldn’t pick on Riley to defend them either.
“Oh, come on, Riley-” before Gia could continue speaking, Riley spilled her entire drink all over her. Drenching her with alcohol.
“Don’t say my name with that foul mouth, half-breed. You’re the worst of the two. A half- normie, half-werewolf. Sharing a class with you is a disgrace,” Riley said with contempt
towards Gia.
“Close the doors, Archie. Everyone’s here,” added Riley, going back inside with her friends. Archie took one look at Gia and Erika, and without thinking much more, he closed the doors. “Are you okay, Gia?” asked Erika, concerned to see her friend soaking wet.
“Yes… Let’s go back,” said Gia in a low tone, wiping her face a bit and turning around to go back to her bedroom. Her mood was no longer positive, like before. Her eyes were watery, but she held back the urge not to shed tears.
“Where are you going? That’s not the way to the dorm,” asked Erika.
“I want to clear my head a bit. You go back first,” replied Gia, and she left Erika behind, who sighed and let her friend be alone.
‘Is it so different that I’m half normie?’ thought Gia, depressed as she wandered the deserted corridors of Nevermore.
For some reason, she remembered Carrie, a girl from a novel who is bullied by her classmates and ends up making a massacre at her school thanks to her psychic powers. Carrie was a book she loved. However, she wasn’t thinking about doing a massacre. She just felt that she had
some similarities to Carrie.
With depressing and unoptimistic thoughts, she turned a corner, and halfway down the aisle, she noticed a boy looking at a vending machine.
“This fucking machine,” cursed the boy, who was wearing a black Adidas sports outfit with white stripes. His hair looked freshly wet. He looked like he had taken a bath. Over his neck, he
wore a white towel.
‘Luke Poe…’ thought Gia dumbfounded, immediately recognizing the boy cursing at the vending machine. Seconds ago, she was thinking about Carrie, and the boy in front of her was
the person who wrote said play.
Everyone at Nevermore knew this boy. Even though he was a tenth grader, even the seniors knew him. He was arguably one of the most popular people at Nevermore and the most famous, no doubt because of his reputation as a successful writer.
A famous and successful fifteen-year-old writer. His work, Carrie, sold over a million copies the first year it came out. He belonged to the Poe family, which, despite being the only living member, was still an old and famous family of psychics. His great-great-grandfather, Edgar Allan Poe, was very famous in both the Norman and Oustcast worlds.
On top of that, he had swept the floor with two older students last year. A video came out of him aggressively and overwhelmingly defeating them. However, that was not the most important event he participated in.
The most astonishing of all was last year’s Poe Cup. Unknown hooded men attacked students on Raven Island, murdering a psychic student. Luke killed one of the attackers. Not even the senior participants had managed such a feat, and they were two powerful werewolves, Andrew and Tommy.
‘Should I break this damn machine?’ thought Luke. He had noticed the presence of a person but thought nothing of it. It had been several days since he’d gotten the card to use the VIP bathroom. The best thing that has happened at Nevermore since the beginning of the year. The bathroom was gigantic and had many amenities. He used it late at night, so he could spend several hours relaxing undisturbed. Watching shows in the hot tub, eating popcorn, and
stuff.
‘I have nothing to lose. Be brave!’ said Gia to herself, encouraging herself. The night couldn’t get any worse. At best, she would be ignored by Luke.
“Mm… Hi,” said Gia, approaching Luke. She was very nervous. She had loved Carrie and Luke’s new novel. If her friend Erika had a crush on Jake C, her crush would be Luke. Although her competition was much greater.
Luke turned his head and looked at the unknown girl.
The girl had light brown hair, combed in two high buns on each side of her head, with bangs falling softly on her forehead. Her face is fair-skinned and rounded, with slightly rosy cheeks and large brown eyes. As for her clothing, she wears a sweater with bright colors; the sweater is mostly purple with pink accents. She was short in stature with a delicate figure. The girl was groomed, the only strange thing was that her hair was soaked with water or
something like that.
“Hi,” said Luke, returning the greeting, then looking back at the vending machine. He wasn’t planning on putting in another dollar, even though he’s a rich millionaire.
Hi all. Regarding this girl (Gia), I am thinking of her having a relationship with Luke. It won’t
last long. I just want to show a bit more of the school life, and then it will go back to the two main girls: Enid and Wednesday. Also, it shows the impact of Luke’s reputation at Nevermore as a writer and the events that he was turned into. How other students see him and stuff.
