CHAPTER 3
Chapter 3
Ava’s Pov
I squeezed my eyes as I came back to reality. I didn’t know when I slept off again last night. The sun rays shone through the windows, and I rose to my feet, then stared at myself in a mirror that was fixed there.
Suddenly, I began to hear male voices as they passed by, and horror filled my soul immediately. My heart was beating so fast that I thought anyone would hear it and stop by to check.
“Gosh!” I said it sharply under my breath. “What do I do?” I muttered under my breath as I placed my thumb in between my teeth.
"Ava, we can’t leave this school just like that. Those men are certainly waiting for us somewhere around there. Mother and father didn’t die for us to be killed so soon.”My wolf spoke.
“So, what do I do?” I asked, feeling so clueless on what step to take with the way things were going in my life.
“We have to stay here in this school.” My wolf answered calmly.
“Right here? In an all-boys school? Have you forgotten I’m a female?” I questioned, not understanding why my wolf chose today of all days to be sarcastic. “Besides, this could get me into trouble.”
“I know. But you have to give it a try. Also, all you have to do to blend in is to disguise as one of them. At least you will be safe and sound here from the wicked people outside. Besides, you need a place to live in.” My wolf advised me, and what she was trying to make me understand dawned on me.
She was right. I had no place to lay my head in, and there were three hefty men who really wanted to get rid of me. The only option was to stay. My hair was cut short already; all I needed was to make looking like a boy more real.
I dashed towards a locker, opened it, and saw nothing but a baseball and a few other posters. “Ugh! No.” I voiced.
There was no way I could go out of this locker room, looking like this. It could put me into more trouble, as anyone could even come in here. I opened the second locker, and I squeezed my face in a frown.
“Eww.” I said it irritatingly.
Then I opened the next locker, and thankfully, I saw a few clothes, and they were all nice. I grabbed them and put it on immediately, then dumped the one I wore into the trash can. After I was done with that, I stared at myself in the mirror. I was looking like a gorgeous boy, but at least I looked like a boy.
My voice didn’t need much work because some boys had this kind of soft and calm voice.
“Perfect. Now, all you need is to get yourself registered.” My wolf informed me, and I nodded.
I walked towards the door and began to walk through the hallway. Different guys of different heights and bodybuilds all passed by me, and some of them in groups were all laughing about things they were conversing on. It made me feel really intimidated.
I decided to stay calm and not act so scared, and I looked around, hoping that I could find a direction to the principal’s office without having to ask anyone. While searching, I saw posters that indicated they were just resuming.
“Great.” I said under my breath.
Suddenly, I noticed their eyes on me as I walked past them, and some of them began to laugh in a low tone. Their laughter became so loud and intimidating that walking got a little difficult for me. It felt like my legs were going wobbly and like someone would walk up to me and accuse me of being a girl.
Out of nowhere, two guys jumped at me and laughed as they scanned me.
“And where did this little boy come from?” One of them said it in a mocking tone.
My fingers were trembling and becoming all sweaty as I didn’t know what to say.
_”Ignore them. Do not say a word.” My wolf cautioned me.
“Did mommy overfeed you with breast milk?” Another said, and I raised my head sharply to look at them.
I clenched my fists and tightened my lips as I shot him a glare.
“Oh, my goodness. He even looks girly.” The guy said and laughed out, causing other guys who were in the hallway to laugh out too.
The fact that he called my mother and spoke lightly of her really drove me off edge, but there was no way I could beat him up. He looked stronger than me, and they would certainly find out that I was a girl on my first day trying to hide here.
I turned to the other side, wanting to walk away, and I was pushed away by two naked guys who were teasing and poking each other. I closed my eyes immediately, as I couldn’t believe I saw their d**k. They didn’t seem to notice what was going on here, and that was so playful and annoying of them.
When I opened my eyes, I saw those two guys before me again.
“Everything about you speaks effeminately. You even closed your eyes as those boys passed by you. You really excite and amaze me.” The first guy said, and I began to take steps backwards.
But these two were not ready to back down; they kept taking steps forward to me, and my heart began to beat so fast and loud that I found it difficult to breathe. My eyeballs moved from the first guy to the second guy, and I knew I had to say something or everyone would begin to suspect.
“I’m not effeminate.” I voiced out.
But it only caused them all to laugh.
“Oh, my. The baby boy finally speaks out.” He said. “If you aren’t effeminate, how about a showdown?”
My heart skipped a beat, and my eyes widened in shock. No. No. This can’t be happening.
