Chapter8

Pdv Roger

I'm fed up now, I don't want to lie to them anymore and I want to be me. Why will they hate me? Because I am a hybrid? I didn't ask for anything, I just want to be a normal child like all the other wolf or human children. There I am in class as if nothing had happened, I look straight at the teacher but my brain refuses to obey me and follow the course. The bells are ringing, which signals the start of the break. Then I go with my mates and two friends of Kevin. We go to the cafeteria and we order our usual dishes except for me who took only a hot chocolate. I drank quietly without paying attention to what they were talking about.

Kev: hey did you tell us worried?

Justine: for two days, you've been you and you're no longer with us. You can tell us everything

Me: no, I don't think so, I say getting up. But I am followed by Justine.

I go and sit in the school garden. Justine joins me almost immediately.

Justine: What you got my big.

Me: nothing I'm just thinking

Justine: to what?

Me: if people will love me as I am, if they will see me the same way afterwards.

Justine: what are you talking about? I do not understand you anymore . You sound like you're two people.

Me: look, I say, showing him my eyes wide open in those of my wolf: the hybrid.

Pdv Justine

I am with Roger talking to cheer him up, he tells strange things even today as for two days elsewhere. But luckily he only does it when you're alone. Would he say that makes me more confidence? Maybe yes because after all I am human like him. At least that's what I thought. He invites me to see his eyes, that's when I understood what haunted him. The blue and green eyes, a symbol of hybridism, the blue so deep as ocean blue and another almost transparent green he has beautiful eyes. I understand then why he is telling all this, these words then start to make sense in my head, July and Kev may never accept that and can tell their father who may want to kill him. Poor Roger!

Me: you have beautiful eyes, you will show them to me every day hun please I say capricious

Roger: do you know at least what that means? Ask you he surprised.

Justine course. It means you're the mighty hybrid. I say smiling.

Seriously, I'm not scared and I don't see any harm in him being a hybrid. As ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPERY said: he who differs from me, far from harming me, enriches me. Its difference is rather a wealth for us in short in my opinion.

Roger: and you don't hate me? Aren't you afraid?

Justine: I'm not a wolf like you. But what I do know is that the race, ethnicity, culture that someone is a part of doesn't have to reflect who they are. Defects and poorly made these ancestors do not justify that he will do the same. These things are details just like the start of a new year. We are ourselves and it is only us who can say with certainty who we are, our intentions are inked in us, what others think is only prejudices. Be yourself my big one.

Without waiting for me, he hugs me so tightly. I felt safe like the chicks feel safe under their mom's wings. I would like this embrace to last forever.

July: ah finally, it's here so you hide the lovebirds she said smiling

Kev: are you better buddy?

Roger: yes in brother form

July: Justine, you have him say anything like that.

Justine: nothing, we just made up everything and nothing.

Roger: It's almost the end of the break, let's go back to class.

We therefore walk in a good mood to find our classroom. We have math class in the next fifteen minutes. Me, I like maths and Roger too, on the other hand these two alpha is another story. They will only sleep, I can already feel it.

Me: I have an idea.

Kev: proposes

Me: whoever sleeps at this class will manage us all week in the cafeteria

Roger: I'm leaving.

July: me too

Kev: July is that you?

July: get away, don't underestimate me she said laughing

Kev: ok I accept.

The teacher is now there, we take out our exercise books and then go on to correct the exercises he had given in the previous session. Roger goes to the board without further ado and begins to go down the exercise in a simple and fast way that one would think he was solving a problem of the middle class. It is written so well and is absorbed in the exercise that you would think you were seeing the artist drawing the jaconde still called the portrait of Mona Lisa (the most famous painting). He only deposits the chalk after finishing the exercise. The professor could find nothing more to say and congratulated him. It was my turn to go. I got up and walked over to the board. Guess what I see, July and Kev who are sleeping like newborns satiated after drinking their morning milk. They're screwed. I smile then in contentment and I take the chalk to lower my exercise too. This is how I was congratulated too, the teacher then starts a new course and we follow him closely. Roger is no longer distracted, he has regained his usual calm.

We are now at the end of the course so the end of the day today.

Roger: so you deal with how wolves

July: I wasn't sleeping, I was thinking ...

Me: fuck you even snoring. You manage how.

Roger: they take a week a week. It suits me since I have nothing.

Me: yes it works, goodbye guys my driver is there say I kissing them.

You can say that now I'm having a great time because I found some friends to have fun with.
