Segun ...Ambulance siren is rings in the air. The class has began to get roused in confusion and noise.
The rotten stench I have been smelling for the past week now seem to have began to surface, but soon disappears as the paramedics took out a corpse in a black bag this morning.
Someone died.... And it is probably Mr Martins.
Although surprised, I'm not all that mortified by it. I mean, his death isn't a mystery to me, I just feel the people involved had a reason to, and I don't understand the reason yet.
I glance a look behind at Lanre seated and discussing with the others.
Why did Nualla or what her name is, kill him?
Or I'm just thinking it could be one if them since they are the only evil I can sense so far in this school?
What if it was Ini? I don't think so.
Despite all the commotion, my sleepless nights are rather more questioning. Ever since My aunt told me that I was born a Werewolf, I hadn't figured out how to comprehend it and also how to react properly to the revelation.
I wasn't cursed...I was born with it. She later said my real parents were actual Werewolves and the ones I knew as my parents, aren't even my real parents.
"They were killed in battle when you were still a baby."
I can't believe all this time....I hated who I was because i was cursed by an evil I didn't understand, but now, it's all clear.
I'm having a headache just thinking about it now and I'm losing sleep each day. The new moon is approaching and I'm beginning to feel suffocated.
"Please let's settle down for the class."
A teacher soon comes in, interrupting the noise and everyone settles back to their seats.
Today already feels longer than usual.
***************
Lunch break time, and I can feel my body weakly respond to the meal served. My lack of appetite is not really the problem, I just feel oddly tired and sick.
Looking around the dinning hall, I notice Lanre and Ini aren't in the hall. Should I be worried? Naahh, the school is in sudden shock, so I'm sure the attention wouldn't be needed.
"Segz, you look tired. You sick?"
I'm turning to Bolu and I'm giving him a smile I feel is stronger than how I'm feeling at the moment.
"Oh...the food is not calling me I guess." I manage to say, pushing the food away from me irritatingly.
Faisal quickly grabs the food to his side, "Free food. Oshey. "
I have a feeling this is another side effect of the approaching moon. I have to skip school soon, before exams I guess.
Michael reaches for my head, placing the back of his palm to feel it. "Hmm, your temperature is a bit high." Removing his hand, his gaze is a bit suspicious as he continues eating. "Ini too looked sick today in class. Is it a common sickness?" he adds, not looking at me.
He hasn't spoken to me properly since last week, until now. "I guess so." I say, feeling a little annoyed by his attitude lately.
"Hey, if you have something to say to me, just say it, rather than being distant for some odd reasons. And now you care about my health?"
