“Have you heard the news about the camping trip? It’s going to be so much fun!” A girl giggled excitedly beside my locker as she spoke to her friend.

“Girl! I have been looking forward to it since the moment I heard about it. I need a break from school so badly,” another one said, while I just pretended to find something in my locker.

I have been keeping a low profile since the video went viral, and thankfully, no one is talking about it anymore. The news about the school camp seemed to be more exciting than repeating the same old news which I found awfully comforting. At least, I finally get a break from all the side comments and awful remarks each time I pass by.

“Technically, it’s still part of school activities,” the first girl chuckled, but her friend didn’t mind a bit.

“I’m more interested in the lots of activities that’d happen there minus the school part, of course,” she giggled as they walked away.

The camping would be for three days and two nights. I can’t imagine spending that long with those bloodthirsty monsters, especially after everything that has been happening. Even though I knew my absence wouldn’t make a difference, I believe I could use some time alone.

I wished I had a choice. Coming to school for the past few days has been more draining mentally than anything else. But I couldn’t stay at home either. My mother would sense that some hing was wrong, and if Alpha Zane noticed that I was skipping school, he’d definitely call the principal, and I couldn’t afford any more trouble.

The bell rang, but I didn’t even think I could focus in class. I went to the field, knowing how empty it’d be by this hour of the day, just to avoid everyone else.

I stared into a space, thinking about how I had become everything I used to criticize. I was now skipping classes, and I didn‘ t even feel guilty about it because I knew anyone could pick on me at any time, and no one would try to stop it.

A shadow stopped in front of me, snapping me out of my trance I looked up to see Travis staring down at me, and my breath hitched. The image of his mocking laugh while Sabrina maimed me replayed in my head, and my chest tightened.

I stood up, ready to flee before he did something crazy once again, when he held my hands. “You don’t have to leave,” he said softly, taking me by surprise.

I had expected him to bully me and take his anger out on me because of what happened the last time we met, but instead, his eyes flickered with a hint of guilt, and I couldn’t help but wonder if I was overthinking it once again.

That was how I stupidly believed I could ever mean something to Kael. I wasn’t about to fall for any of their tricks, but when he apologized, looking like he meant every word, I couldn’t help but reconsider.

“I’m sorry about how things went the last time,” he said, looking away like he was too ashamed to look at me.

I sat down, unsure of what to say to him. Supporting Sabrina and watching her almost kill me wasn’t cool, but then again, when has anything ever been cool with me?

“I knew how fucked up that was and I have no excuses. I just hope maybe one day you can forget all about it and maybe we could be friends again.”

I didn’t answer him and just leaned back on the seat.

“Aren’t you going to class?” He finally broke the silence, but I just kept mute. Once he noticed my silence, he nodded in understanding. “It’s also fine if you don’t want to.”

He took the empty seat next to me, staring at the empty pitch, and I wondered what he wanted this time.

“Will you be attending the school camp?” he asked, turning to look at me for a split second before withdrawing his gaze. “No,” I shook my head, already imagining all the bad things that could happen if I did.

“You don’t exactly have a choice. We’ll be graded for every activity we partake in so if you care about your grades as much as I think you do, you don’t exactly have a choice.”

“Still not going,” I shrugged.

It doesn’t matter how much hard work I put into my academics Once the school management finds out about the video and withdraws my scholarship, that is the end so why bother?

“It’s not like anyone wants me around anyway. Successfully unlocked!

He stared at me for a second longer than usual vervre speaking up. Hope you’d change your mind.”

The rest of the day went by in a blur. As soon as the bell rang, I grabbed my bag and left the school premises. A part of me didn’t want to go home or run into anyone at all, so I walked around until I found a quiet spot to do my homework and rest for a while.

I didn’t realize how much time had passed until I noticed everywhere was dark and I decided to head home. My gaze fell on Kael’s car that was parked outside as soon as I arrived, and I couldn’t help the unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach. He hadn’t attempted to talk to me since the night I told him to leave my room, and he just moved on like nothing ever happened when I couldn’t even walk around in school without constantly looking over my back.

Inhaling sharply, I stepped into the mansion only to find Kael string right at me. “Why are you just coming back? Where have you been? School ended like hours ago,” He asked sharply taking me by surprise.

“Why do you care?” I raised my brows. He parted his lips to speak, but soon closed them. Just what I expected.

I had waited for nights for him to clear the air and tell me how the video got everywhere. Even when the answer was glaring, I hoped he’d tell me it was a lie and he was just as confused as was, but all I got was radio silence, and now, he dared to ask where I was coming from.

I walked past him, brushing my shoulder against his angrily, when he held my wrist. He pulled flushed against his body, eyes boring into mine and for a moment, nothing else mattered.

“What do you think you are doing?”

His eyes searched mine, and I wished he would just tell me the one thing that I had been dying to hear. Different questions ran through my head, but before I could bring myself to ask anything, Sabrina stepped out of the kitchen with a smile on her face.

“Babe, I found it…” Her expression twitched into a frown as soon as she saw me and my breath hitched.

Kael released me immediately, taking a step back, and I couldn’t help the disappointment that crawled in the pit of my stomach.

“Why are you just coming back?” She dragged her gaze around thy body lazily before shaking her head.

“Why do I even care? After losing your one chance at bettering your life. You must have been desperate to find your next prey.”

I looked up to Kael, not sure what I was expecting, but he wouldn’t even look at me. Sabrina wrapped her hands around his waist as if she was claiming territory and he let her.

“Just a piece of advice. Don’t go around whoring yourself to other people’s man. You’re lucky to get out of this one alive. Your next victim might not be so kind.”

Tears stung my vision as Sabrina leaned closer to Kael, whispering into his ear. She chuckled at whatever she had just said and went as far as kissing his cheeks.

My cheeks burned with shame as I watched the scene unfold, and Kael didn’t even bat me an eye. This just answered all the questions popping in my head. Sabrina was right. Kael used me and I stupidly fell for his tricks.

My palms burned from how hard I was clutching my nails into it, but it was nothing compared to the pain that tugged at my chest.

A sad smile tugged my lips as I shook my head at how pathetic my life had become. Everyone tried to warn me to stay away from him. Even my mother who gave zero fuck about me tried to warn me, and yet I allowed myself to fall deeply for him, only to watch him shatter my hopes and leave me broken all over again.

I tapped my legs against the floor vehemently, trying to stop the tears that blurred my vision. I refused to cry in front of him. I dug my nails into my skin, pitching myself hard but before the tears could slip down my cheeks, I turned on my heels and ran into my room.

Sabrina’s mocking laugh trailed after me until I snapped the door shut. As soon as I was alone, a stream of tears broke down my cheeks. My chest tightened, making it hard to breathe as I cried my heart out.

****

My eyes were all swollen when I woke up and anyone could tell how hard I had been crying through my puffy eyes. I washed up, wishing I had makeup to cover my swollen face before going downstairs to join them for breakfast.

Everyone was already in their seats when I arrived. Relief wash over me when I noticed that Sabrina was no longer here or she’d have made things even more awkward.

I greeted Alpha and my mother before taking my seat at the dining table. I had barely eaten anything when Alpha Zane turned to face me.

“I heard the school is going on a three–day camp. Why haven’t you started preparing?” He said, grabbing a serviette to clean

his mouth.

My grip tightened on the fork I was holding before forcing out a smile. “I… I’m not going.”

“Why not?” He asked with a frown.

Since I couldn’t tell him about how this was supposed to give me a break from all the bullying in school, I had to lie to his face.

“I didn’t think it was necessary. I can use the time to prepare ahead for our exams.”

He shook his head before I even got to finish my words. “School is not a place for studying alone. You need to engage in other activities and have fun among your peers,” he said sternly

“But…”

“I have already signed the consent form so you will be going with Kael,” he announced.

My stomach churned at the mention of the name, and my mother intervened. “There’s no need to make her go if she doesn‘ t want to. She’s already doing well in school-*

“Education doesn’t end in school,” he said stubbornly. “She has a lot to learn out there and she needs to learn how to

survive out there without us. We can’t always be there for her,” he said, now looking at me. “You need to socialize more and hang out with your peers.”

I pressed my lips together, knowing I couldn’t argue with the Alpha.

“It has been decided. You’re going.”
