A Gift from the Goddess
Chapter 14
Chapter Fourteen
Detention was just as boring as I had always imagined it would be. Mrs Newman kept a close eye on met o make sure I sat in silence doing nothing as she marked reports.
“I honestly don‘t know what‘s gotten into you lately, Aria,” she said. “You‘re my best student. Why have you been acting out so much?”
I looked at her and shrugged my shoulder. I wouldn‘t be able to explain that I‘d literally learnt all of this already and was busy trying to stop my death. But I sighed, knowing inside I really had gone too far.
“I‘m sorry I was rude to you,” I said sincerely.
It was true. I hadn’t meant to embarrass her in front of the entire class, but she had challenged me and tried to make me look like an idiot. It had set off a wave of anger inside me, a strong new emotion I was still learning to handle.
Before the events leading to my death, I would get frustrated, but never this passionately angry. It was an incredibly selfish and negative emotion that I had been trained growing up to avoid. It wasn‘t until Thea‘s pregnancy announcement that I‘d started giving in to it, realising there was no point holding back anymore. Now, along with the emotional body of a teenager, I was finding it harder than ever to stifle my emotions. 2
The teacher took a deep breath and rubbed her eyes.
“You‘re forgiven,” she said, sounding exhausted. “Just try and pay a little more attention, please? You might not have noticed but the kids in class look up to you more than you realise. You‘re a role model. If you start acting thoughtlessly, they will follow suit.”
I‘d never even considered that before. Was it even true? Why would they care what I did?
“You‘ll most likely be our Luna one day,” she explained, seeing my confused face. “You will be a mother to the entire pack and be responsible for them. It‘s true some may be scared of you or even hate you right now, but they still respect and look up to you regardless.”
When she put it into perspective like that, I could see how she could be right. If Aleric was here and started skipping classes, I was sure most of the school would start doing it too. I may not want to be a Luna again, but I couldn‘t deny that as of right now I still held that uncertain influence over them.
I nodded, agreeing with what she‘d said. “You‘re right… and I’m sorry. I‘ll do better.”
She waved it off and went back to her papers. However, she only managed to make a few more notes before her pen gave out.
“Ah, shoot,” she grumbled. “I‘ll be right back. Stay here and don‘t move.”
Without waiting for a reply, I watched as she left, leaving the door open behind her.
Since she would be gone for a little while to retrieve another pen from the stationery room, I took up the opportunity to work on my plans some more. I reached my hand down into my bag, searching for my notebook, but the feeling of a thick hardcover book touched my fingers instead.
It was Myra‘s book that I’d basically forgotten about. After thinking about it for a moment, I realised that it would be as good a time as any to read it. Even if I didn‘t get very far, I was sure it would still make Myra happy to know I‘d picked it up.
I grabbed it from my bag to rest it on the desk, taking in the worn edges and faded colours; something indicative of the number of times Myra had reread it over many years. I traced my fingers along the outside and was about to open it when something then stopped me.
