"Miss Peyton, do you want to maybe say something few about yourself? It can be a good start for your new year," Miss Gavin said as she sat across me, her head slightly tilted to the side making her beautiful blonde hair, flowing its way down.
She's really beautiful and in just a few span of time, I kind think that she's already my favorite. She's the coach for the photography club which I just joined in just— a minute ago. Now i sat still on a single chair surrounded by friendly looking people with the beautiful polaroids on the walls that served as the design of the room. Its actually nice, the room's theme is vintage just like my bedroom. Gripping my camera's band that hanging on my neck, I flashed a smile before standing up and gazing around them with their expectant look.
Well, I'm nervous, you cant blame me since this will be my first ever public speech. Uh, not really public-public since there are only nine of us including Miss Gavin. But i need to so i did. Besides, i just told them some things that there is to be said. Like my full name and that I was homeschooled ever since forever, same things that I've said throughout my first half of the day. And then there came the questions;
"Why did you chose our club?"
And I answered politely, "Because its photography and photography is my passion. Even if I cant really go out of the house, all the time, I still tend to capture beautiful sceneries every time i go out. Its just something special for me, the essence of it simply capturing the best part of earth and nature. It enables us to freeze something and just look at that picture and continously be amazed with it by staring at it without any changes."
I know right, even I, myself is pretty shocked with what just came out from my mouth. But, at least I made them nod in agreement as they all flashed me welcoming smiles. So this is what it feels like when you impress people, make some friends and do something you really want. It feels like something within me is blooming and I like it.
For the past 30 minutes that I was inside that room, all we did was discuss some future subjects and activities. Its really comfortable to be with some people who shares the same interest as you, superb. At that time I forgot everything that's happening and had happened. We exchanged ideas, tips and advices while we talked over a box of cupcake that Miss Gavin brought to welcome the new school year. And as soon as were over, I thanked them for the kindness and startes my way out to the hallway.
I wonder what Gran and Mama are doing now, in our usual days, they usually just chill inside the house. Gran gets to tend her plants in our backyard and Mama does the house chores with Grace, our sole housekeeper. While thinking about those stuffs, I pulled my bag to my front and got out the book that I borrowed from the town library. Its a novel about this two souls that's very much alike to yin and yang. I opened its hardcover and flipped through the pages, searching for the page in where I stopped reading earlier. Flipping through it softly, i suddently came into a halt when I neared a door where a beautiful voice sounds from in it. Eliza. Peeking through the small glass window on the door, I spotted my dearest cousin, she's standing on the centre of the room as she sang her heart out while people surrounds her in a circular form.
I believe that she's singing one of the classical songs that she once sang to me some days ago. I held my book to my body as I wrapped my arms around it, i was too much engulfed with Eliza's voice that I didn't notice that I'm blocking someone.
"Excuse me, if you will, I'd like to get in because I'm literally late."a soft but boyish voice sounded behind that instantly caused me to jolt away from the door. Glancing at the intruder, he flashed me a smile while his hand reached out for the knob. "I'm sorry if I startled you but I'm really later," the guy said before disappearing behind the doors.
Hearing that Eliza had stopped singing, I figured that I should also continue my way towards the school grounds. Ayesha said that I could find her there since she's sight-seeing for boys. Who could stop her? We're seniors and Ayesha's pretty, she could have anyone but she's just really picky, or so from what Eliza said.
I was on my towards the exit of the building when I decided to go and stop at the Lady's Room. I passed through somw students as they minded their own 'usual-highschool-business'. Some are gossiping, fidgeting with their phones, flirting and making-out. As i watched those people, i suddenly remembered something that I really hadn't put some attention to, until now— I never had a boyfriend or even a crush. But like what I said, I need to focus on my studies. Or maybe, its just my wolf not still mature enough since we've been like a prisoner for 18 years. But that thought is very much laughable since whenever I transform into my wolf form in our basement, she very much looks like a wolf who's ready to become the Luna of a pack.
She's beautiful and my mother said that she's a rare kind. She got this ash-colored fur that's really so smooth and thick, that everytime the moons shines on it, it looks like its sparkling beneath its light and darkess combined. Along with the green eyes and the strong build that's really glorious to look at. But that's because I'm a witch also.
Werewolf and a witch,pretty combination i must say. Both having powerful intities in me. Peyton witches are witches who have been living in Sphinxwood ever since it was founded back at the 15th century. Right then, my ancestors ruled and protected the place as they hide their true selves, their or we are one of the most powerful bloodline that ever existed. Specially with the fact that they have werewolves as their ally and over the years, it continued that way. But everything stopped on its track when one person from each species became one.
And yes, that would be my father and my mother. From what Gran had told me,everything between the wolves and the witches are neatly plain until the sacred rule was broken. Because they say, that witches or warlocks shouldn't have any kind of romantic relationship with each other or else chaos will be delivered. But of course, as you have already know, Mom and Dad broke that rule and the council found out. At first they took it smoothly but when they learned that my mother is conceiving a child, which is me, chaos indeed was delivered.
The ally between the two species were broken, coming to an oath saying that they shall never interfere with each other's businessess. And 18 years ago, they never did.
Sad on how something that went on for so long was broken just because of my existence. But Gran always told me that it wasn't my fault and will never be my fault. But seriously, deep inside, i still feel like it is.
I never really heard so much about my Father besides learning that he's wolf is huge and has the color of crimson black with deep blue eyes. He was great and caring and straight thinker. But he died when they're pack attacked another pack that's trying to invade their territory. And besides from that, i know nothing at all.
Upon seeing the comfort room, I sighed and quickly shook the thoughts away. I cant be disturbed right now or I might screw some things up. And i totally did! I was about to go inside when I dumbly bumped into a hard surface, at first I thought that it was door but the warmth of it seems unbelievable. Looking up through my lashes, a small gasp escaped my lips as i instantly took a step backwards. Cold blue eyes stared down at me and pushed me out of the way. It was the guy-- i mean werewolf that growled behind me on time of the English class. And he just came out from the Lady's room.
Scrunching my nose, i looked at his departing figure, trying to figure out,why. Still confused, I walked inside the comfort room and found a brunette girl standing on the mirror. Her straight brown hair, hanging its way down to the middle of her back as she applied some lipgloss on. And beside her is another girl with the same face as the other girl, same hair, same figure, same everything, except that she's busy with her phone. Twins. Twins and the guy, in one silent room.
