Cursed

2

My second period is Study Hall with Ms. Smith. She's very young, and very nice to all of her students. I sit in the back of the classroom like always. I almost immediately see Elijah walk in. I try to avoid his stare. At one point we make eye contact and he walks right back out of the classroom. I wonder what his problem is. I put on my backpack and I walk out of the classroom.

I follow him around the corner, as he walks into the library. I try to be as quiet as possible. He passes the librarian on the computer, no one is around. Since when do kids go to libraries anymore, shame. I watch him go to the very back corner. They bell rings for all the students to be in class. I peek around the bookshelf he's sitting beside. He's calling someone on his phone, with anger in his eyes, breathing heavily, clutching his fists.

"Hello?" He says.

"I've got a problem"

"There is a girl here, I tried to put her under my charm, it's not working, but I tested it just before I got here, I don't understand?" He raises his voice which makes me jump.

"No, no no! Do not tell Lukas! I swear Ryder!" He whispers.

"Don't put him on the phone" Elijah sighs.

"Hello Lukas" Elijah sighs trying to stay calm.

"She's immune? So she's a puitant?" Elijah says.

"Fucking duh, how could I forget" He whispers to himself.

"Just like Alyssa, you killed her" Elijah sighs. I could see in his face, that was someone he cared a lot about. I notice his eyes turn a slight red.

"I can't kill her, are you crazy!" Elijah whispers holding the phone close. I gasp, me? He's talking about killing....me?

"Because there's just something about her I like" Elijah says.

"I don't know, I just like her I have a feeling"

"I know you're the Alpha" Elijah sighs.

"Her name?" I hear through the phone.

"No a-" Eli says.

"The name!" I hear a deep voice say through the phone.

"Her name.. is, Macy, I saw her name on her worksheet, she had a little heart by it" Elijah grins.
My, my signature. Why would he tell that creep my name? I'm so confused, why does he wanna kill me, what is a puitant and why am I one?

"Look I'm sorry Lukas, but I can't do this for you, not this time" He hangs up the phone.

"What have I done" He throw his phone on the ground putting his hands on his face. I step back and my clumsy butt trips over a chair.

"Who's there?" He walks over looking around and immediately sees me lying on the ground.

"Did you just hear that whole conversation?" Elijah asks.

"Stay away from me, you creep" I push the chair of my stomach wincing in pain.

"Let me help you" He holds out his left hand to me.

"No, just leave me alone" I stand up running out the library not looking back.

"Wait!" Elijah yells. I ignore him and running back to study hall, thinking about the things he said. Kill, what's her name, I can't kill her, she's a puitant? What the hell...

I see Eli walk into the classroom and I look away avoiding eye contact. He sits in front of me again, seriously... Please don't talk to me, please don't talk to me.

"Macy can I at least explain? You don't understand" Elijah turns facing me. I ignore him looking my lap.

"Macy, please" Elijah says.
