As if her words triggered something, in them, everyone quietened down immediately and started looking my way.
So, peeps, this is how you become the centre of unwanted attention.
I wanted to roll my eyes at this. Does this town don’t get that many outsiders?
“Hey, you new here?” The guy that I said was my type came to me and asked politely.
‘Thanks for asking the obvious, Mr obvious.’ I wanted to say.
“Yeah. I’ll be attending Uni here.” I said and thanked the waiter who brought my servings.
The food on the flight wasn’t too good, and I was feeling terribly hungry.
“Wow..that sounds good. We all are going to attend uni this year. Hey guys, we have a new classmate here. Come and say hello.” He shouted towards his friends.
“Oh, I forgot, my name is Daniel. You can call me Dan or Niel or Daniel. Anything. I don’t really mind.” He said showing me his perfect teeth.
“Victoria,” I said.
“Hey, hurry up. I want to introduce myself to that chick.” I heard a distant chatter, that made me a bit awkward. It’s been soo long since I’ve been called a chick like this. Otherwise, I was just used to sympathy gazes from my friends and anybody who knew me.
I just smiled at Daniel’s friendly attitude.
He was good-looking and great, but I still wasn’t comfortable with soo many people around me. Before everyone could come to me after placing their orders, I took mine in my hand before rushing out of the café.
I know, I chickened out and I did say I was going for a change, but I just couldn’t bring myself to fake smile for too long. It will take me some time to adjust here, especially with these surrounding forests.
Reaching aunt’s house, I noticed my luggage wasn’t there. Probably aunt Marla already took it inside.
Huh! Looking at the house, I took a deep breath before putting on the best smile natural I could muster and went inside.
‘Here I come new life.’
Entering the house, I greeted Marla with a sweet hug, which was reciprocated by a bone-crushing one.
Even though she was my aunt, she never liked being called one.
According to her being called aunt makes her feel old, and I think she was right about it. If someone doesn’t know her, then he or she probably would think she is just turning 22 or 23 even though she was turning 34 this year.
“Hey, Victory. So finally we get to live together uhh? I know you must be sad and feeling solemn about what happened, but you are not allowed to stay sad here. Promise me you’ll forget about the bad memories and will move forward, cherishing the good ones.” She said.
“I promise,” I replied. This was exactly why I was here. To forget about the bad memories and move forward while cherishing the good ones.
“Ohh, I forgot to tell you. I have a boyfriend named Markus. Most of the time I live with him, but don’t worry I’ll come daily to give you company for some time.” She said as she moved around the kitchen to place the groceries in the cabinets.
“Are you guys like serious?” I asked curiously. I have never heard of her having a boyfriend, for all I know, she always said that she was waiting for the right one.
“Of course, he is my mate.” She said.
“Mate? As in soulmate?” I asked. I never pegged someone as cool as Marla to believe in this mate shit.
All I know is, people nowadays are soo greedy that they won’t approach anybody without an ulterior motive. And even if someone is in a relationship, it doesn’t guarantee that they’ll remain together for the eternity of their life.
“Uhuh… Soulmate. Well, this topic is to be discussed some other day. I have placed all the groceries and snacks that you’ll be needing. I know you have always loved being alone, don’t you dare think that I don’t know, how much of a shitty life you were living this past year.” She reprimanded again.
I on the other side just nibbled on the candy she brought for me while listening to her.
“What I want to say is, it’s time for you to move on Vic. There are still people who care about you. And you’ll find out soon. I’ll be leaving now. Remember to close doors and windows at night. Many wolves come out of the forest at night to take away young girls.” She joked looking all serious.
“Yeah yeah….and it just happens that I am the new flesh of meat here.” I continued.
“Well, at least you got the point.” She chuckled before hugging me and leaving with her handbag that contained some unmentionable stuff that I don’t wanna even talk about.
‘Looks like they are too much serious with their relationship, given the number of protective measures Marla bought. Are they planning to not come out of the room for a whole year?’ I thought in my mind.
VICTORIA’S POV
Today was my first day of university. I took a shower early in the morning and dressed neatly with a crop top paired with a washed denim jacket, high waist jeans and boots. Tying my hairs in a high ponytail I was ready to venture out of the house, practically towards my new life.
To be honest, I was super nervous. I didn’t want to read people thoughts, which has always been my biggest concern.
Yes, you guys got that right, I am telepathic. Sometimes, if I concentrate a bit, I can read people’s thoughts, with an accuracy rate of 99%.
It is pretty much exhausting and well, downright annoying.
I always feel like I am invading someone’s privacy and I hate the idea of it.
Till the age of 16, I didn’t even have any friends, because of the sole reason that I would always find some fault in their attitude and thinking by reading their thoughts.
After that, I tried controlling this gift/ curse of mine as much as I could. And now I can read someone’s thoughts only when I want.
Earlier I didn’t have any control over it and most of the times I would come home screaming in pain and agony because of my head pounding with unbearable pressure.
Sighing loudly I locked the door before breathing in the fresh air.
Since the university wasn’t that far away from Marla’s place, barely 10 km. I decided to walk down there.
Walking had always helped me to clear up my mind and looking around towards forests and this naturally beautiful place, I feel more at ease.
Plugging in my headphones, I was tuning my favourite songs when I saw a blur of something passing in front of me. It appeared like a silhouette of a giant animal to me.
Pausing my song I looked to my left where it went nervously but didn’t found anything suspicious or any sign of a big animal going there.
‘It’s just my hallucination’ I consoled myself.
Maybe because this place is named pearly canines and Marla had been telling me ancient stories about why this town was named so, I am imagining things now.
Wolves living with humans as their friends? Really? Give me a break!
Looking at my old fashioned watch, that was gifted to me by my mum, I noticed I only had half an hour left to reach there and thus, I decided to sprint rest of the way.
However, the image of that blurry figure kept popping in my mind.
Reaching the university the first thing I noticed was the grandeur of it. I don’t know why a university this big and reputated isn’t popular and is in a secluded town like this.
I heard from Marla that it only take selective students in, and the criteria of that selection is a mystery to everyone.
And here let me make it clear, I am not an academic type of person, though my IQ is always said to be more than average making it easy for me to score marks.
“Hey? Victoria right?”
I turned around to see who called me and saw Daniel walking along with his friends, in my direction.
“Yeah..you are Daniel if I remember correctly.”
“Yup! That’s me. Last time you left in a hurry. Let me introduce you to my friends. This is Kayla, this is Aiden, this is Chris, this is Angela and this is Tina. And that two guys who are rushing towards us are Sean and Matt.” He introduced.
