Chapter 41

Alighting from the cab, I paid my taxi fare and scurried off into the school courtyard. My eyes darted around and my brows raised in shock as I saw many girls waiting outside, with cheerful expressions on their faces. It seemed like they were waiting for someone. I let out a sigh and made an attempt to walk past them but my leg got entwined in that of one of them and I lost my balance before falling to the ground. I looked up, and I wasn't shocked to see my old friend Dawn behind it. She purposely made me trip, and a satisfied smirk appeared at the corner of her lips. While watching me struggle to get up, she pushed me with her shoes once more, and I saw her co-bullies complimenting her like she did something truly deserving. They giggled as they left my direction, not an ounce of shame on their face. I think I'll have to make use of my wolf to fight them. Instead of relying on Derek, I should be able to stand up for myself. They need to know that I'm no longer the weak and naive Isabel they once knew. “Let me help you,” A cool smooth voice came from my back and I twisted my neck, trying to locate the direction of the voice. There, I saw Theodore, my male best friend. He's a son to Mrs Daphne, a friend to my mom.
