Chapter 4
My P.O.V:
I can't wait for school to end again! I stare at my classroom's clock as I can make out words my teacher is saying about in history class. I have to say... I personally hate history. But it's a class I can't skip, not to mention I'm gonna have my grades drop thanks to that. If I try to ditch, then that's gonna of course drag me into a different problem... In the blink of my eyes I can hear my classmates all begin to pack their stuff and prepare to leave. Oh hell yes! I quickly do the same as I finish up my notes as I at the same time clean up my desk. I have everything I need in my bag and that's all I need!
"Okay class! Tonight you don't have any homework! Just remember to study for the history test on Monday!" My human teacher announces to everyone. Everyone including me all hum to her as I have my backpack on my back and all ready to go! The final minute strikes as we all run out of our classroom and into the hallways. Man this is so amazing! Tomorrow is usually the bright sunny side day of the week... but fuck that we have Friday off and instead have today be the last day of this week! I stop in my tracks as I move to the side and I take out my IPhone. First things first I need to make sure my sister is gonna be okay by herself. I go into my LINE app as I open it and tap on Mehreen's profile.
Me: "Sis? You need me to walk with you home?"
I wait for a little bit of time until I hear and feel a small buzz from my phone. It's a reply!
Mehreen: "I'm hanging out with my friend again today... sorry, can you tell mum and dad that I won't be home for a little while? Though I promise I will be okay!"
My sister is going out with this friend of her's again? Not that I have a problem... but it can become a problem if this happens everyday. Especially if this hang out is gonna last until the nighttime. I sigh as I sadly text my sister back.
Me: "Sure. But just be careful, we're all worried about you!"
I wait another few seconds until another buzz with a ding comes on.
Mehreen: "Thanks Sis!~ I promise I'll be back before you know it!"
I smile to myself as I finish reading my sister's text. I have to finish this up so I can start walking home. I twiddle my thumbs all over the lower area of my phone screen. Making my last message for Mehreen.
Me: "NP! Just please be safe! Love you! ❤️"
With that I finish my texting and I switch the sites into YouTube. I scroll down my music choices as I suddenly have a new text. I open it in messages as I see its Nathaniel! Oh crap balls I forgot we exchanged numbers!
Nathaniel: "Hey Janis!"
Nothing too special. It's just a simple hello-hi! I can deal with that! I start to move my thumbs around on my touchscreen as I create the letters into words.
Me: "Hey Nath! What's up?"
Nathaniel: "Nothing much... I was wondering Janis... would you like to hang out rn?"
Me: "Sure! Met me by the front of the high school and we can plan things out from there!"
Nathaniel: "Perfect! I'm on my way now! I'll see you soon!"
I lower my phone as I smile to myself widely. Oh my god! This is happening! Nathaniel and I are goin to hang out! But I slap myself out of my trance. I can't let my guard down! Or it can go downhill like it did with Nezam. I have to move on with him! I start to walk down the stairs with my block heeled boots clicking on each step of the stairway. I see the front of the high school up ahead! I walk outside as I blow of cold air hits my body. Good thing I have this sweat shirt on me! I go down the stairs as I wait at the bottom. I take my phone out again and I look through my apps. I tap on my app game, "Piano Tiles 2". I'm so addicted to this game! And my phone overall. I plug in my earbuds as I start to play the game.
"Damnit...." I mumble to myself in frustration as I miss a single tile, bringing me straight to the home page. I suddenly feel a pair of arms wrap around me. I squeak as I peel over my shoulder to see Nathaniel hugging me with a shy grin on his lips.
"Sorry to keep you waiting... Anyways what should we do?" Nath asks me in curiosity. I turn my IPhone off as I think out all the possibilities on what we can do together.
"How about some cupcakes? I hear there's a place around here that makes and sells really good ones!" I insist, I already have the money I need to afford Nath and I each some cupcakes.
"Sure! Sounds nice!" Nathaniel tells me as he releases me from his hug. Aww he's such a nice guy, one of the 'need' things on my dream guy checklist. I nod as I tuck my phone into my sweat shirt's pocket. Nathaniel stays close to me as we start to walk to the cupcake place. Damn... up close he's more cute than I can expect! Oh no... that also means I'll probably stutter more now... "So Janis... have you been to this place before?"
Oh shit come on! Just say yes or no!
"U-Um... Sometimes... I-I never really got the chance since I have schoolwork and such to take care of... b-but I'm glad I can go with you!" I say kindly. But inside I'm facepalming myself till my fave is all numb. I gaze at Nathaniel as he simply has a sheepish smile on him.
"I've never even HEARD of this place! So... t-thanks for taking me here!" Nathaniel thanks me. I smile sheepishly back as I just continue to follow the route to the cupcake place. It's around the same place where my apartment is, so there can't be much struggle to do that. I just hope Mehreen is going to be okay again.
Mehreen's P.O.V:
"Wow! Good shot Mehreen!" Cuphead exclaims to me as I hold the hand gun in my hands. I give Cups a mischievous smile as I nod.
"Well I AM a fast learner!" I inform Cuphead as I continue to shot at the target. Which is a cutout of a werewolf. I keep hitting bullseye which is amazing! I guess using a gun is my specialty! Right next to me is this bat cartoon. He loads the gun next to me as he aims his rifle at the target and with one single shot. He blows off the entire head of the cutout werewolf target. My jaw drops as he lowers his rifle and sets it down.
"Hm? What?" He asks me as he spots me with my mouth hanging open. He rolls his red eyes at me, "Geez shut your mouth! Your gonna end up swallowing flies if you keep at it!"
I quickly close my mouth as he turns away. His heart end demon tail swishing elegantly with the wind. I can't lie, he's cute! But too bad he's kinda rude. I turn back to Cuphead as he rolls his eyes at the light grey bat then looks at me.
"That's Trevor Mehreen. He is hands down one of the most rudest Werewolf Hunters here! Just trust me when I say this... I feel sorry for you." Cuphead confesses to me, feeling bad? For me? Why?
"Cups? Why do you feel bad for me?" I ask him with curiosity. He scratches the back of his head as he then shoves his fingers through his blonde locks and moves his fingers down.
"W-Well... I got files that say... your gonna be his partner..." Cuphead admits. How is this possible!? No one ever told me Werewolf Hunters have partners! I mentally feel myself drown in confusion and frustration. Great... I have a partner. I stare at Cups as he sheepishly grins at me and let's off a nervous chuckle, "All I can say to you at this point... is good luck! Cause damn Trevor is gonna be a pain to deal with. And no one even knows why he's so rude all the time!"
I sigh as I drop my practice gun into its slot on the side wall.
"I guess I'm going to really need that luck... So thanks I guess..." I thank Cups. I walk away from the gun area as I make my way up the stairs and into the cafeteria. I can't lie though... this place has amazing food! After all I am hungry!
Trevor's P.O.V:
I make my way to the chief's office. What does he want from me now? I swear I'm doing all my work and missions correctly! I see his door in sight as I push on the door and I spot inside the chief of this whole facility. I close the door behind me as I take out of my pocket my Hunter goggles as I place them on my forehead.
"Yeah chief? What's up?" I ask him slightly impatiently, "You called me up here for something?"
"Well... Trevor I know things haven't been easy with the other Hunters here. So I was thinking you could use a partner of your own! I know you and her are going to work together just perfectly!"
What!? I having a partner!? This is bullshit! Why!? I'm so fine dealing with the werewolves ALONE.
"Why am I getting a partner out of all the other Hunters here!? They'll just be extra weight on my ass if they think they can be with me..."
"Now Trevor... don't be so harsh on everyone. Her name is Mehreen and she just came into the Werewolf Hunter Society. So I thought you'd be a good cartoon to help her with things around here!"
Wow... a 'good' cartoon to show this newbie around this place? Some deep shit right there. I'm anything BUT soft to other cartoons or people. Even if they're girls, hell screw that! I'm harsh with everyone! No one can change THAT fact.
"Why not any of the OTHER Junior Werewolf Hunters here?" I ask rudely.
"Simple, it's because YOUR the highest Junior Werewolf Hunter here. Now please go show this new girl around the place." Chief informs me. I groan as I roll my eyes at him. Sure I respect him, cause everyone has to. Me including, but I still don't like this ideas. Most of the time.
"Fine fine whatever... I'll do it because you only want me to." I mumble to the chief. He smiles to me as I look away with a grumpy face.
"I know your not used to being with people, but just give this a shot." My chief insists me. Ugh, well isn't this going to be something great.
"Fine... but where is this newbie at anyways?" I ask impatiently. I just wanna have this nightmare end already. The chief hands me a folder as I take it, I open it to see a white cat cartoon. Medium brown hair... hold the phone, isn't this the same cartoon cat from earlier?! The one with that ass cup? At least I have a small glimpse of her before hand. I close the folder as I tuck it in my coat. I stare back at my chief as I can now leave. I'm more than happy to leave this place! I turn myself around as I open the door and close it. I walk away from my chief's office as I slip out the folder again.
Name: Mehreen
Age: 11
Sex: Female
That's it? That's bullshit! Just this?! This is just a wonderful day for me today! I need something to munch on, I can use a donut right now. The cafeteria has to have them! Hell there not even that expensive, and they still manage to make these donuts so good! I go to the cafeteria as I see the cafe serving donuts. Bingo! I go over to the counter as I see the person behind the counter look at me oddly. But I ignore him as I hand him some coins with a dollar bill.
"Two donuts please..." I simply say in a polite manner. The man behind the counter takes my money as he hands me the two donuts. I take them as I scan around the area to find a place to sit. I overhear conversations with some other Hunters. Hey I can't help it! I'm a god damn bat cartoon for crying out loud! I do my hardest to ignore these other Hunters as I spot... my partner? Oh great... now I have to go up to her and actually go know her better. I take a deep breath as I step forward to her. I get close to her, and when I'm close enough I clear my throat. She looks up at me, "Your... Mehreen... correct?"
"Yeah that's me, why?" Mehreen questions me. I look away from her brown eyes as I take a seat across from her. I place my tray down with my donuts on it to the table. I hand to Mehreen the folder of her as she takes it. A few moments later she hands it back to me.
"I'm Trevor, and your assigned to be my new partner... which is something new for me..."
"Cool! I'm Mehreen! As you already know by now... but it's gonna be nice to work and train with you!" Mehreen pipes up happily. This... This Mehreen girl is certainly something else. She sticks her hand out for me to shake. I awkwardly take it and shake it slowly, "So, what makes you want to be a Werewolf Hunter?"
My eyes widen at her question... W-What...
-Flashback-
"TREVOR! JUST RUN!"
"N-NO I CAN'T LEAVE YOU! PLEASE YOUR ALL I HAVE LEFT!"
-End of Flashback-
"Why you..." I growl under my breath. My hands turn into rock hard fists. Slightly trembling I finally snap. I lean into Mehreen as I push her out of her seat. She trips off as she hits her head on the next table behind our's. Teaches her right. I grab my tray of donuts as I quickly flee, I need to be alone again. Why her out of all people or cartoons?! Now I have her as a partner too. Please god make this nightmare hell end.
Mehreen's P.O.V:
Jesus what a douche bag! I stand up from the floor as I run my head. Wow what a fall, and it's just from a chair! I guess what Cups says about Trevor is right! He's so fricken rude! Not to mention mean! I can't even continue to imagine what I have to do with him thanks to us now being partners. Though... I have to say... no reason to be like this? I don't think he DOES'NT have a reason to be like this...
