2024-10-29 19:42:56By the time Nono finally arrived home, it was already dark out.
Unlocking the door to her house, she was greeted by no one, an only child with her father still at work who wouldn't be home for at least another couple of hours.
Climbing the stairs, she went to her bedroom.
Sitting on her bed, she looked around the room.
"Mama..." She whispered.
"What do I do...?" She bit her lip.
"My best friend suddenly hates me; I have no friends at school..."
"Plus, I'm in the class of oddities, automatically deeming me a freak..." Her voice began to shake.
"Mama..." Tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Tell me, what am I still doing here...?" She gulped as the lump in her throat swelled.
"Please, mama, I miss you every single day..." She sniffled.
"I promised you I'd stay strong, but..."
"Was I ever really even strong in the first place...?" She smiled as tears began to run down her face.

Wulf pouted."Oh, come now, it's just..." He looked down, smiling."That look best suits a delinquent; you and I both know that is not the case." He laughed."Which brings me to my next selfish question," his tone suddenly shifting to a more serious one."Is everything alright at home, Wulf...?"Wulf's eyes widened."M-mm..." He mumbled, looking down steadily."Wulf..." Danny whispered."I can see the bruises on your arm..." He said, placing a hand on Wulf's head.Wulf began to shake."Please, Danny..." His voice trembling."I

The boy squeaked."Well, first of all, I'm so thankful you were able to come; dealing with death at such a young age is..." The man narrowed his eyes."Truly despicable..."

He grinned."Your optimism is such a breath of fresh air," Caitlin sighed in relief."And it's exactly what these girls have always needed." She smiled softly."Wulf," she continued."I put my complete faith in you to get these girls moving in the right direction," Caitlin said."However, there will be days when you'll doubt yourself or feel your patience wearing thin," she continued."But, I suppose that's what being a teacher is all about, right?" She beamed."Nah," Wulf began."Eh?"

Rouge asked, lifting a brow."Date broke your heart into a million pieces?" She smirked."N-no, it's just...""Well, Wulfy," Rouge began, bopping his nose."Unfortunately, no matter your reasoning, I'm afraid all staff must be in attendance as prom supervisors..."
