chapter 6 The Calm
chapter 6 The Calm
The first few classes of the day were not too bad. She had sciences this morning and those were her
comfort zones. She got to shine. She understood everything as she loved the sciences. Her new friend
was having some troubles with Anatomy but she was fine with Biology and Chemistry. She had offered
to help her with those subjects if she needed any help and of course Soccorah was so happy that she
quickly accepted without hesitation.
They had separate classes just before lunch so that was not too good as Luna had not gotten close to
anyone else in her class before lunch break. She walked into the lunchroom and grabbed some fruit
yoghurt some juice and a sandwich. She walked round and took a seat at a table near the window
alone. She sat and intently surveyed the room hoping to catch a glimpse of a familiar face but even
though she grew up in this area no one from her high school came here. Most of the kids went to work
or the few who went to college went out of state to gain some distance from their families or just to get
to know someplace new.
Luna sat alone at the table looking at the busy cafeteria as she quickly gobbled up her lunch. Students
were eating and leaving while others took their places. She sat for about 15 minutes and dropped off
her tray. She’d hoped that she would have been able to catch Soccorah to have lunch with her as she
was the only new friend she had made thus far.
Luna walked out of the cafeteria and headed outside to sit under a large oak tree. She had 2 free
periods after Lunch then her final class of the day her dreaded GYM class.Luna sat under the shade of
the great oak tree and took out her chemistry book and started to brush up on memorizing the periodic
table. She was a bit rusty as she began looking at hydrogen and shut her eyes trying to recall atomic
number and symbol. She spent the rest of lunch break doing that then put her book away and opened
her eyes.
Soccorah had Spanish as a second language with Luca before Lunch and it was a sight to see him
struggle with this. Give him that…. He was fairly good, but the fact that Luca was the best at
everything; she giggled to herself realizing that she was better than him at this one thing. They listened
and conversed together as it was a very nice and interactive class. You didn’t have to sit and listen like
must other classes but actually had to participate and actively to get a good final grade.
Soccorah glanced at the clock realizing that it was close to lunch. She thought whether she would meet
up with Luna the girl that she met who was so nice. She’d really like her to meet Luca. Afterall if they
were going to be friends then it was only fair that she met all her friends and Luca was supposed to be
her very best friend. As the bell went, Luna grabbed her stuff and got up to get to the cafeteria but Luca
had questions and he stayed back to speak with the Spanish professor and Soccorah had no choice
but to wait for him outside.
Soccorah was a bit impatient as she really wanted to speak with Soccorah again; however, she could
not leave Luca alone as they needed to have lunch together to create the impression that he was
taken. She waited for what seemed to be an eternity and her patience started wearing thin. She
whispered to Luca as she knew that he could hear her with his enhanced hearing. “Why don’t you just
take all of my time won’t you. You know that I can help you with Spanish. I’m not that bad.”
Luca ignored Soccorah and finished clearing up his doubts. When he finally emerged, he took her hand
and the walked toward the cafeteria. By the time they got there it was already 12:40. “Shit” Luca said
out loud. “I need to start and finish this assignment today.” Soccorah looked at him intently. Her gaze
mandating a response.
“First day of school and this guy has already given an assignment. I have to complete it at the soonest
because the full moon is in a few days and as you know, my nights won’t belong to me.” He explained
with a sigh. “Ahh. Right. Guess I have to thank the goddess for not blessing me with this problem.”
College would be a challenge for Luca as he literally was living a double life. Everything had to be
separated including his time as it was important that he did not keep his wolf imprisoned. He needed to
be let out, to run free in the woods, to howl.
While they were seated Soccorah searched the room looking at the various faces but looking especially
for the white-haired girl from her anatomy class. She needed to get hold of her before the end of the
day as she needed a contact for her so they could set up a study session as she didn’t want her
performance to suffer because of Anatomy. “I made a new friend” she told Luca. “don’t be a doosh
when you meet her.” Why would I be? Is there something wrong with her?” he laughed.
“Well, she has White hair and brows. Not something You see every day and she’s a wiz at the
sciences. She’s agreed to help me in that area. Was actually trying to get here early since I didn’t get a
chance to take her number to set up a study schedule.” She told him. “What! A girl with white hair? This
I must see. When you bring her over give me a heads up?” He said as he got up to return his lunch
tray. “I’m off to the library. Time is against me.” He gave her a peck on the forehead and set off to the
library to get started on this essay. This was all that Luca was concerned about.
Luca sat in the library getting the materials he needed to start his essay as time was against him. His This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
mind swayed back to what Soccorah had told him about the white-haired girl. He tried to imagine what
she would look like and smiled to himself. He silently wondered whether she could be his white wolf. he
shrugged off the idea as he wondered why he was so fixated on that wolf. He needed to get his wits
about him. He was the son of an Alpha. A special Lycan. A gift bestowed upon his pack by the
goddess. He needed to get his wits about him and get back to reality.
