Wolf Heart
Say All You Want, It's Over
Sasha hated Mondays. The beginning of a boring week of school. Why weren't there just four days a week instead of five? This Monday though would be the worst of all.
Sasha was on her way to her first class, History, when a note fell out of one of the lockers. Avoiding getting pushed down and having her hand trampled, she picked up the note quickly and looked up to see which locker it fell out of. Sasha realized it fell out of Silvia's the locker, number 729. She unfolded the paper. Before Sasha got past Dear Silvia, the bell rang. Stashing the note in the side pocket of her backpack she hurried to her first class.
During the entire History class she thought of who wrote the letter to Silvia. It probably shouldn't have been any of her business to stick her nose into, but curiosity got the best of her. To Sasha, she and Silvia were basically mortal enemies since preschool. When they first got to know each other Silvia just decided to act like a total brat towards Sasha and a smart*** kiss-up to the teachers. It felt like hours before the bell rang. It wasn't easy listening to a boring teacher give lessons and notes. Especially since Sasha was an ADHD teenager. Everybody immediately shot up and ran for the door. In between each class students got a five minute break before they had to be at the next one.
Sasha crammed her History papers into her locker and reached for the note in her backpack. The crumbled notebook sheet read:
Dear Silvia,
She took a closer look and realized the hand writing looked very familiar. The letter continued:
I know we've been together for a couple years but I'm not sure if we can keep it up this summer. See I'll be moving to Denver, Colorado because my dad found a way better job there, and long-distance relationship is hard. Believe me, my older sister learned that the hard way. I'll be moving in mid-June. Let's meet up outside the public library after school. Love you.
From,
Kyle
Sasha felt like she could scream. She and Kyle have been in a relationship for three years! For three years they've been dating, and for two years Kyle has been cheating on her with that kiss-up prissy. She never even heard Kyle mention anything about moving. Sasha was furious, and she knew she would get her revenge someday.
After a torturous English class, taking notes in Reading, dissecting a frog in Science, which involved five puking girls going to the nurse's office and a guy named Hunter going with them after getting nailed by a mop (don't ask.) After that Sasha ran a mile in under six minutes, and Study Hall at last. Since she had no homework she continued her drawing of a pack of grey wolves running through snowy mountains. While drawing she overheard Kyle whisper, "Did you get my note?"
Silvia whispered back," What note?"
"I put a note in your locker. Your locker is number 729, right?"
"Right, but I didn't find any note."
A smile crept up Sasha's lips as she heard Kyle swear and flip out.
"Well, hopefully Sasha didn't find it." Whispered Kyle. "I mean, wouldn't want her to find the note. Being my other girlfriend, she would get real ticked."
Sasha's skin began to crawl. Other girlfriend? Silvia knew about their relationship and now she is just the other girlfriend!?
She stood up, gathered her stuff into her backpack, with the note in her pocket, she marched over.
"Kyle," she said impatiently when he didn't notice her right away. "I need to talk to you."
Kyle shrugged his shoulders. Silvia threw her blond hair over her left shoulder and walked off to join her prissy friends. Once she was gone Sasha took Kyle's hand and half dragged him out of the cafeteria, upstairs to her homeroom, which was now dark and empty. She guessed the teacher already left.
"Hey Sasha, what's this all about?" Kyle asked as she swatted away his hand as soon as they entered the room.
She sighed. "I heard you talking to Silvia."
Kyle developed a sudden interest in his shoes as he asked, "How much?"
"All of it! I'm not deaf Kyle! Now what's going on between you and that kiss-up brat Silvia?"
He looked up. "Nothing! How could you have heard me anyway? You'd have to have ears of a hawk to hear me above everybody else!"
Sasha reached for her pocket and took out the note. Kyle's eyes widened.
"This is the letter that fell out of Silvia's locker. Why didn't you tell me you were moving? Why didn't you tell me you went moony-eyed for Silvia two years ago?"
"Sasha, we aren't… please, I still love you. Remember all the good times we had? The reason I didn't tell you in the first place is because I didn't want to hurt you. Believe me, I-"
She could see the lies he was telling. It was sort of her sixth sense. She could tell a lie from the truth. Sasha turned around. She would get her revenge, just not today.
"Say all you want Kyle. You can hide behind your lies." She walked up to the door. "It's over."
She clung onto her wolf necklace with her right hand and placed her left on the door handle. She wasn't hurt. Did Kyle really think she was that weak? Sasha was about to twist the handle when suddenly alarms blared over the speakers. A lockdown?
