Chapter 16

Rose's POV

Today is the day everyone was waiting for. I got enough of the shit for the past decades of my life, spending my youth in so called highschool and college. I was ecstatic after the graduation ceremony and the proud look of my parents just added more to my happiness. It was a while since I've last seen my parents be so proud of me.

I was too busy talking and hanging out with guys that I didn't even realize that Jessica had long left my side. By the time all of them left with their parents after graduation, I was walking back inside the empty hallways to get my things from the locker.

As I was about to turn around to say goodbye to the school with joy, my locker was slammed shut by someone from behind, making me roll my eyes at the familiar perfume which almost made me want to puke at how disgusting it smelt.

Well, who else wears that much perfume in this uni except the queen bee?

"Well, well, well, Rose. It's the last day for both of us. Mind to share your plastic surgeon before we go on our separate ways? Might as well think of it as farewell gift." Stacy glared at me and I just stared at her blankly with a sympathetic look.

But seriously, what's her problem? Who am I to blame? She just wants to be humiliated on her last day. I might as well give her what she wants.

"Oh? I doubt you would look good enough with more plastic stuffed in your body. I wonder if you really plan on being the real Barbie with all the plastic under that fragile body of yours." I heard a few snorts and she was losing her cool. I have to say that her temper will explode before her boobs get chance the chance to.

"I was born with this BITCH! -" "ROSALIND! My name is fucking Rosalind! If my name is mouthful for you, just call me Rose. Don't be fucking rude to the dogs! It's a huge insult even to the dogs if words are coming outta your mouth." I shifted my weight from one foot to another, finding everything already tiring.

"WHAT?" "Oh, silly me. My bad. I forgot the fact that you rarely attend classes, too busy filling your mouth with thousands of STDs and sperms. I am too tired to continue this meaningless conversation with a slut like you so please excuse me." "You!" She swayed her arms in an attempt to hit me as I was about to walk around her. Upon seeing her attack, I dodged and punched her instead.

Ew, I made a face as I felt something being squished beneath my fist.

"Opps! My bad! I thought your nose was genuine. I should have figured out you were just jealous of my natural beauty since your whole body is fake and made of plastic." Everyone burst out laughing and some gasped.

After that, I just left them in the hallway, who were crying their eyes and gushing about how it bloody hurts and she have to get her plastic job again. I hopped on my bike and stormed off, trying to calm myself. Rides always did wonders when I was pissed or needed to get things off my head.

Crap. Where am I? Great! Just great! How did I even get here? How long have I been riding? I didn't know I had enough petrol to ride for hours and on top of that, I didn't know there was a forest near my university!

I looked around and saw a familiar motorbike and heard some hushed noises. I soon recognized the bike and took my phone out to call the owner of the bike. I was heading to the source of sound and dialed Tyler's number.

I froze the moment I saw 2 men turning into wolves. I dropped my phone and almost screamed. They turned in my direction and I panicked. In a blink of an eye, I saw 2 wolves running towards me. I screamed and ran. But to no avail, I was tackled down and a wolf was on top of me.

"Hey wolfie." I spoke with my cracked voice. It looked down at me with a tilted head and got up. I sighed out loud when they resumed their fight.

I took this chance to run away but failed miserably.

"Ow. My leg." I cried in pain when I couldn't stand up and pain shot through my legs. When I looked down, it was bleeding like hell. Fantastic! What a lovely day! I was almost hit by Stacy and now here I am, in front of... what, can I call? Werewolves?! Fighting and I can't move because of those lovely wounds these werewolves left on my precious calf! Isn't it wonderful to experience something not many people get to enjoy?

Yay!

I was cursing in my head when a Timber wolf disappeared through the woods and a grey wolf was coming towards me. I can't die yet. I have lots of things to do. I have to get married because I suddenly wanna get married, build a company on my own because I wanna be rich, make my parents proud and so much more. At least give me a chance to say goodbye to my parents and friends.

I was trembling from fear. My vision was clouded with tears flowing uncontrollably. I felt something wet on my face. When I opened my eyes, the wolf was licking my face.

EW! Jeez! Gross!

I raised my head and a pair of silver eyes stared right back at mine. The wolf traced his steps backward and lowered his head. I thought he was about to bite me when he licked my leg which was bleeding.

"Stop! Wolfie, I am already scared. Just eat me alive if you want me to be your meal tonight. Don't torture me." I begged as it took his time to lick the blood off my leg.

I looked up at the wolf again when he snuggled close to me. I was mixed up when he put my hand above his snout as if he wanted me to pet him. I hesitantly raised my hand to stroke his fur which was so soft. It was so soft that I forgot I was stroking a fucking wolf for a second.

He then somehow made me stand on my feet and I was shocked that I didn't feel any pain in my legs anymore. I looked down to see no wound at all. My eyes were as big as a saucer, too hard to believe the scene in front of me.

'Wait a sec! Did I read too many werewolf books? Am I dreaming? What's going on?' I was thinking about all the possibilities. I slapped myself and I felt my cheeks stung.

'Shit! I shouldn't have slapped that hard.' I scolded myself, rubbing my cheek!

"I am not fucking dreaming. This all is fucking real." I mumbled and slouched. Soon I heard a chuckle. Wow I didn't know a wolf could chuckle. When I looked up, there were blue eyes instead of silver eyes.

"What the bloody hell!" "Hi. Sorry for terrifying you." "Sorry? Do you think saying sorry would calm my precious heart? What are you?"

"Well, as you already know, I am a werewolf." I scoffed at his answer even though that was the answer I was expecting him to say.

"It's official. Your best friend is crazy. I am imagining things." "No, you aren't. It's the truth Rose, what can you do about it?" My best friend, Tyler, kneeled infront of my small frame and cradled my face in his as gently as he could.

I stared at Tyler's eyes and sighed, defeated. "So? Now what?" I breathed out and he smiled down at me.

"Let's go somewhere to talk about this. Did you bring your bike with you?" I nodded and he guided me to the place where we had parked our bikes.

I was a fucking mess as I followed him to where our bikes were parked. It was pitch dark by now and I found out that I've dropped my phone back there which left a large ass crack on the screen. The mobile on the other hand was very unpleasant with the way I was treating it and decided to go to sleep till I had to pay for it to get it fixed. In case you don't get it, my phone's destroyed.

I am sure everyone call tell how shity and unlucky a person can get just by looking at my life. I guess overall things of what happened today can clarify just as much.

I was deep in my thought, still recovering from the shock which made me walk the wrong directions from time to time. So, Tyler scooped me up in his arms and carried me out of the forest.

The cold wind slapping my face made me realize that I have to face reality no matter what. As much as I wanted everything to turn out as a lie and a dream, I knew more than anyone that I wasn't dreaming and everything was real.

I realized that the only right thing that I can do for myself is to follow my bottom line;

Go with the flow no matter what happens because having fun and happiness is all that matters.

In the past, I've noticed that nothing is permanent and everything is temporary so it was pointless to dwell on the stuff that will fade away someday. So, I've decided that I will just go with the flow like how I've always lived the past twenty years of my life.

I hopped on my bike and followed Tyler from behind after igniting my engine which roared to life; making me realize that I have to accept the reality and move on.
