Bride of Blood and moonlight

Emily POV

"Young lady you better make up or you will miss the train to school",this was Aunty May calling.Today I had slept in just like any other day.

"Be down in five",I answered as I tossed away the tempting quilt and walked into the bathroom.I took a quick cold shower and put on my floral dress and tied my black shiny hair into a pony tail.Gosh I was looking nice I guess.

"How many times do I have to call you down everyday.Emily dear you need to start being punctual and responsible right now you did not spread your own bed",Aunty Laura said.

"I will prepare it when am back okay.Love you",I said as I ran out to catch the train to Seattle from Tacoma ,Washington .

As far as i have remembered it has always been me and my two Aunties and the weird craving they always drew around the house.Little has been said about my mother and everytime I try to pry them open it seems like a forbidden topic for them.I know when they are ready we will have that conversation.

I was lucky I arrived in time and sat inside the train and plugged my earphones and started listening to Fifty Harmony In love with a monster.

After about an hour I had arrived.I was studying my undergraduate degree in health sciences at Seattle University.

I was almost late for my lecture that day because as soon as I took my seat the lecturer walked in.We had our lecture like everyday and today I had another extra cirruculum activity.

I had joined the school's volleyball team.We were going for practice this afternoon.It was time for lunch when we finished today's lecture and I went to the cafeteria.As I pushed the swinging doors to the cafeteria i was greated by the humming of conversations as well as clinking of silverware utensils.The smell of pizza and fries wafted through the air making my dtomch rumble with hunger.I joined the line ,scanning the options, macaroni and cheese,pizza,soggy vegetables and a sad looking salad bar. I then opted for a slice of pizza and a a glass of orange juice.As i waited to pay ,i gazed at the sea of familiar and unfamiliar faces scanning for an unoccupied place to sit.My life here has always been hectic,making friends has always been difficult.

Most of the people here were from prestigious schools and I only got enrolled because of a scholarship the university offered when I had the highest ranking marks in the state with four other individuals .

"Look what we have here,the street beggar.This is my spot so find a better place to scavenge",Latifa said as she came and sat on the table that I was sitting. She is the University  bully along side some of the boys.Today I was feeling weird,I felt so much power surging in my veins and it seems like it wanted to burst out of me.

"Hey the queen is talking to you.Get up ",this was one of her minions saying this.I totally continued eating and decided to ignore them.

Most of the times when I saw them I would flee but today coupled with how I was feeling.I was not giving up my table without a fight.

Seeing that I was challenging the bully's everyone was now looking towards my table.Some who were short were now on their feet to catch a clear glimpse of what was going to happen to me.

"I sat here first ,so what gives you right to claim this as your spot when clearly their is no mark to show for it",I said coldly which continuing eating my meals.

"Bitch did you just talk to me",Latinas said and the while cafeteria made a booing sound.

"Latifa do you feel superior by bullying the weak to prove yourself a champion.You ain't fooling anyone,we know how you are always battered by your boyfriend worst your drug addict of your parents.You are pathetic young lady .If I were you I would try to fix myself before trying to bully other people.You may take the spot am done,seeing your unlabelled silhouette just messes with my appetite",I said standing up.When I said this the whole cafeteria bursted out into a crazy laughter.Some where pointing fingers at Latifa and her minions mocking them.
