By the time I finally finished, my face was bright red, and my breathing was coming in short pants as I collapsed on my back on the grass beside my mother. She looks down at me.
“Just remember, Kat. I am doing this for your own good. I go easy on you; the rest of the kids will be hard on you.
Also, I couldn’t exactly let you talk to me like that and get away with it, especially in front of other students, you need to work with me here,”
I try to catch my breath, raising my arms over my head, feeling like I was going to have a heart attack.
“But I did nothing; he approached me, not the other way around,” I whine, everything hurting.
“Doesn’t matter next time; watch your tone,” my mother says before stalking off.
“Shirley, can I speak with you please,” Alpha Ezra says, making me turn my head to the side to see him walking over to her.
“Of course, Alpha,” my mother says. Alpha Ezra looks over at me, dying on the ground, and I look away; I must look pathetic right now. Jasmine walks over, handing me her drink bottle, and I squirt some water into my mouth before sitting up.
“Damn, and I thought my dad was strict. What did you get in trouble for?”
“Apparently, my attitude,” I tell her, and her brows furrow.
did nothing
“But you didn’t do anything,” she states.
“Tell my mother that,” I told her before standing. My legs felt like jelly as I walked toward the building. School finished an hour ago, so I was a little shocked to run into Angie as I went to my locker. Her blonde hair was highlighted to perfection, her blue eyes bright. I could see why she was so popular. She was gorgeous, but the snarl on her face said her nature was anything but.
I open my locker only to be shoved against it. Jasmine pushes her away, but that doesn’t stop her as she grabs the front of my shirt, tearing the collar.
“Stay away from the Alpha bitch, or I will make your life miserable,” She spits at me.
“You stayed back an hour after school just to tell me that. Geez possessive much,” I tell her, ripping her hand away and turning to retrieve my stuff.
“Angie, go away. She hasn’t done anything. What is it pick on the new girl day, geez she just ran twenty laps of the field, lay off her,” Jasmine tells her.
Angie grabs my hair, and I hiss as I feel my hair ripped from my skull. Turning, my hair painfully pulling from my head when I punch her. She shrieks, clutching her face. I was not in the mood today, and besides, my mother told me to use my fists.
“You fucking whore,” she says, wiping her lip as blood trickled down her chin. Angie swings at me, but I duck, and her fist connects with my locker door behind me with a thud, the metal denting from the force.

“Angie attacked her first; she was defending herself,” Jasmine blurts out once again, coming to my defense, and the more I am around her, the more I like her.
