“That’s my spot.” The ighter brunette whines. I have to fight a laugh.
Are they serious? It’s bench seating, there really aren’t ‘seats ‘ to have. This time I do roll my eyes.
“You all realize it would go faster and be far less irritating if you just used your big girl words and told
me where you wanted me to sit, right? You are wasting my time and missing out on your own dinner
time just trying to be difficult. You can be mean to me when we are all sitting and eating. Where do
you want me?” I gesture at the table. Hopefully I can use logic and nonchalance to get through this
dinner. I try to channel my inner Nathaniel.
“Over there.” Audrina points to the opposite side of the ong table. There are so many people in here
now and the table is so big I have to walk half the length of the room to get to the end and walk
back to the center of the table on the other side. Center of the center table, yep she likes the
attention and wants to be in the middle of everything.
I finally get to my seat, sit, and start eating without looking at them. They are going to try and keep
me from eating and I cant afford that. I still have Olive(s voice in my head telling me I need more
food so I don’t become malnourished again.
“What pack did you say you were from again?” The dark brunette asks.
“l didn’t, but I’m from Blue Crescent” I responded without looking up.
“And how is it you managed to get here at 15, when none of the rest of us were allowed until we
turned 18? I mean I am the best warrior to come out of my pack in 30 years.” The lighter brunette
asked.
“l dorfi actually know. After the trials I was told that I could join when I graduated high school. That
was the plan, but the plan clearly changed.” I continued shoveling food into my mouth.
“What makes you so special that you know the Alpha King?’ Audrina asks.
“I’m sure plenty of people know him. I’m sure my age and early entrance to the warrior program
were the reason he was here yesterday.” just have to keep my answers short and sweet. These
girls strike me as the gossips and they will use any info they learn to their advantage, including
altering what they hear.
“No one else got a personal escort by the Alpha King though. Not even Audrina, who got here the
day after her 18th birthday. That’s how good her training scores were.” The dark brunette raises her
eyebrow at me.
I really should learn their names, but they aren’t offering them up and none of them have bothered
to say mine so I just let it go. I shrug in answer to her non-question. I have no control over who the
Alpha King pays attention to.
“Do you think you’re better than us? That you don’t have to respect us since you have been noticed
by the Alpha King and personally trained by Warrior Osiston.” The light brunette asks, letting her
attitude slip in now, not bothering to pretend to be nice.
“No, I don’t. I’m a warrior in training just like you, no better no worse, just new. I don’t know what did
to you, but I’m not the bad guy and I’m not a threat. From what understand we are supposed to train
like a team. I just want to train, become a warrior and move forward with my life. As for respect, I
give it when it’s been earned.” I figure I’ll try to be the bigger person and slow down the hostility a
little. But I’m also not going to let them walk all over me. I came here to get away from that. These
three like a scene and I refuse to give them one.
“We are your superiors, you’d better learn to respect and obey Bridget, Chelsea and l. I’m done
hearing how great you are and you haven’t even had to prove yourself yet. You’re probably just a
sl*t who slept around so much you had to be sent here before you were discovered as a stain to
your pack. I bet your Alpha wanted you to have the warrior brand so you would be forced to keep
your legs shut.”
Audrina is talking loud now and has the attention of the people surrounding us, but it won’t be long
before she has the whole room listening in.
