Chapter 5

Same day in Biology class

Clara just finished narrating to her friend Anna what happened to her yesterday and how a wolf saved her from the hands of Steven

She also made it clear that she was planning on reporting Steven to the school authorities even going further higher than that in reporting him to the governmental authorities

“ I know you are really angry and you want to make them pay for what they did to you, or rather what they wanted to do to you but don't you think that's too harsh? ” Anna said not supporting Clara's idea

“ harsh? You call standing up for one self harsh!! ” Clara said almost loudly that made the whole class including the teacher glanced at there direction

“ keep your voice down ” Anna whispered...

“ is everything alright Clara? ” Miss Jane the biology teacher asked

“ everything is alright, sorry MA just got a little bit excited that's all ” Clara said

“ OK well I do like my students paying attention to my teachers while am in the class ” she said with a smile but they got the message

Miss Jane continue with her teaching

“ we will continue this discussion another time ” Clara whispered angrily at Anna....

Adams sat on the staircase with his girlfriend Ella and his best friend Noah who also was with his girlfriend Patricia

“ .. baby, I was wondering whether you will come over my house in the evening after school, you know you it's been a while and am thinking we need to spice things up alittle ” Ella said with a sexy eyes while playing with a string of her hair

“ sure baby I would love that am definitely coming ” Adams said excitedly and he lowered his lips for a wet kiss...

“ guys I hate to be the party pooper but we kinda have a very important game this evening in case you have forgotten Adams ” Noah reminded

“ oh shit! I totally forgot about today's game ” Adams exclaimed and he knew immediately that Ella won't be happy about his next statement

“ ...am sorry babe but I think we have to do that next time ” he said trying his best to put up a sad look but he really loves playing basketball with the boys

“ but baby! This isn't fair, you always choose basketball game over me ” Ella said naggingly

“ you know that's not true, I love you so much, I mean its just a game, and I can leave it if that would make you happy__ ”

Noah coughed loudly interrupting him and he gave Adams a look, like what the hell are you saying

But Adams ignored the signs of his friend and continued

“ I can leave basketball and football anything in fact to be with you of course that would make me less popular and I might no longer have many friends and you might lose some of your friends also but that doesn't really matter because we will have each other ” Adams said looking in the mood for some sweet talk

“ I love you baby....you know what? You can go to today's game in fact I would be there to cheer you to victory ” Ella said no longer sad and she gave Adams a hot kiss

Noah breathe a sigh of relief because he knew without Adams they don't have a chance against the Tigers

And he was so happy that Ella agreed for Adams to play the game that he kissed his girlfriend Patricia

“ what's that for? ” she asked

“ nothing, just that you are so beautiful and I love you ” he said making her blush.....

Some hours later Anna and Caleb where in the school library, Caleb was there to read while Anna was there just to try to get his attention

“ interesting, really amazing ” Caleb said out loud as he stumbled on something in a book that got him amazed

Anna pretended to care about what he was reading as she faked a smile

" do you know that Sloths can hold their breath longer than dolphins

They can do this by slowing their heart rates, sloths can hold their breath for up to 40 minutes. Dolphins need to come up for air after about ten minutes, that's just amazing ” Caleb said really amazed

“ really what other fun facts are in that book, I have a fun fact for you too, do you know that mosquitos are cousins to the rats ” Anna said sarcastically

Caleb stared at her then back at the huge book in front of him

“ that's just ridiculous, it's not possible I mean a mosquito is an insect and a rat is a rodent so I can't see the connection

She shook her head and dropped it on the table frustrated as she wondered what she needs to do to get his attention...

Just then Clara made her way into the library and as she spotted Caleb and Anna on a table she quickly waved at them and walks to meet them

“ how are you doing Caleb ” she greeted

“ am doing awesome thanks, so many things to learn ” he said adjusting his eyeglass

Clara helped herself to a seat and she could see that Anna looked kinda sad

“ are you alright? ” she asked

“ am good, never felt better ” she said but Clara knew she was lying and that it had something to do with Caleb

“ so Caleb what are you reading? ” Clara asked out of curiosity

“ well it's kinda a study of animals you know I have a thing for animals ” Caleb said

“ really? I didn't know that you have a thing for animals ” Clara said

“ well I do, you know animals especially mammals they communicate, interact, fight, reconcile

They have friends even friends amongst friends, yes I mean best friends, also enemies, the worst kind

They morn there dead and according to some philosophers and historian some even meditate like some form of prayer ” Caleb said

“ wow it's kind of interesting... But does by any means any chapter of this book talks about wolves and am not talking about any kind of wolf am talking about giant wolfs ” Clara said and Caleb eyes popped out....

Principal office

Mr Phillips was seated on his desk watching to what was in the news

Apparently a teenage girl named Natasha Brown was killed by some kind of animal attack last night according to the news....

A knock on his door and it was opened a student Mathias came in

“ Mr Phillips...you sent for me ” Mathias said

“ yes I did, have your seat young man ” the principal said turning down the volume of the TV

He gazed at Mathias intensely who still had traces from the bruises and cut Steven and his friends did to him

“ Mathias you know why I called you here right? ”

“ ...No I don't ” Mathias said playing dumb

“ OK I will tell you then, I heard you were a victim to a sick bullying and I would like you to tell me the student or students responsible for this barbaric act so they can receive the punishment due to them ” Mr Phillips said

Mathias thought of telling the principal everything that happened but he knew Steven would hurt him again if he does so he denied everything

“ you are wrong sir.... I wasn't a victim of any form of bullying ” he said faced bent

“ raise your head when you are talking to me boy ” the principal demanded

Mathias gently raised his head up and Mr Phillips could see the fear in his face

He stood up from his chair and walked round his desk to meet Mathias, he gently touched his shoulder

“ No one will hurt you here, you can tell me anything you know that right? Am here to help you and I can only help you if you help me help you, so tell me who did this to you? ” He said in the most calm way possible

The words where really close from coming out of Mathias's mouth...but something stopped him

“ I tripped while ridding my bike and that's how I got the bruises on me ” Mathias said but his eyes betrayed him

The principal didn't want to press him further because he knew he was very scared about the students that hurt him

“ very well then if that's the story you choose to tell me you can go ” Mr Phillips said then went back to his seat

Mathias stood up in a hurry to leave

“ Mathias! ” he called out

Mathias stopped and turned to look at the principal

“ anytime you feel like talking you know where to find me ” Mr Phillips said then increased the volume of his TV set and Mathias left his office...

Caleb helped Clara searched for the creature she described to her in his book but all they were seeing fitting that description were mythical creatures

“ werewolves? Are you sure about what you saw because everyone knows werewolves does not exist... Maybe because you where really scared that's why you imagined the creature to be that big

Maybe it's just a normal sized wolf you saw ” Caleb said not wanting to believe the existence of a werewolf

“ I know what I saw...am not saying its a werewolf or anything but the creature was really big and large, that was no regular wolf ” Clara said

“ OK maybe it's a bear then ” Caleb said

“ I think am old enough to know the difference between a wolf and a bear ” Clara said alittle bit frustrated

“ are you sure you do because you are talking crazy here, werewolf really? That's just crazy talk ” Anna said really amazed at what Clara was saying

“ I know it sounds crazy but I wasn't the only one that saw that creature Steven and his foolish friends saw it also you can meet them and asked if you don't believe me ” Clara said

“ maybe we should do that ” Anna said

“ you know what I can't talk to you guys right now ” Clara said getting up from there table and walking out of the library...

As she left the library she saw Mathias coming out of the principal office and she knew the best person to talk about werewolves or anything about the supernatural was Mathias

“ hey Mathias! Mathias! ” she called as she ran to meet him

Mathias slowed down his steps as he heard her calling his name

“ hey I need to talk to you if that's OK with you ” Clara said as she got to him

“ OK what's that? ” Mathias asked

“ it's about wolf...werewolf ” Clara said....
