Chapter 3

" Very good! Now..... Aadhira come." The teacher called. Aadhira approached the stage and glanced at the teacher for the topic. " Talk about...... how to please your soul mate." The teacher said and smirked. Of course, she did that intentionally. All the werewolf teachers hold a grudge against human students, and they never leave a chance to get into their nerves! Aadhira knew this very well. She hated all the teachers for being so partial. But, her main concern was the speech right now. "Sorry to interrupt again mam, but I don't know about this topic." Aadhira confessed. How would she know something like this? Shraddha felt bad for her friend too! " And why is that so? Why don't you pay attention in the class?" " Mam, I do listen to the lectures, but I can't recall it now!" She lied. She always slept during her lectures- especially when it came to the topic of soulmates. " Then that's not my problem. You should have read it in the library! " Mrs. Singh reasoned. Aadhira clenched her jaw again. How am I supposed to study werewolves in the library when I have more important things to study! Aadhira thought. It was true! Human students were allowed to use the library only for two hours a day. So, obviously, Aadhira's priority would be to refer to medical books than to look for some mating ritual! " So, are you going to speak or should I give a zero to you?" The teacher asked. Some marks are better than zero! Aadhira thought and started speaking. But, whatever she spoke didn't make any sense! How was she supposed to know about pleasing a werewolf soul mate, when she didn't have one! " Good morning. My name is Aadhira and I shall talk about umm. ... pleasing a werewolf soul mate." Aadhira felt disgusted by even talking about it. Humans always keep s*x a personal thing. But for werewolves, it meant the same as eating food! " the soul mate can please the werewolf by giving him/her freedom of choice and speech. If she wants to leave the werewolf, he should allow it. He should not force her into this soul mate thing and should not mark her against her wish. In short, he should let her go....." she was speaking her heart when the class suddenly growled. She looked at her teacher, only to find her glaring at her. " Get out of the class. You get no marks." Her teacher said with anger evident in her voice. Maybe, I shouldn't have said anything about the leaving thing! Aadhira thought. But, it was too late now. She left the class and walked for the next class. The first lecture was about to get over anyway. AFTER FIFTEEN MINUTES: " Are you insane?" Shraddha scolded Aadhira as they sat at the first bench of their next class: 'Drugs and their Mechanism'. " I don't think I said anything wrong! It's their problem if they can't hear anything against themselves! " Aadhira scoffed. " That's okay! But, what about the marks? Aadhira you know you can't fail in this paper! Even though this paper might not be significant in terms of getting a job, but we have to pass it in order to get a degree!" Shraddha explained. " I know, Shraddha! It's not like I am doing this intentionally. What I said was... what I felt right. Forget it.....it's only a month more! Our final exams are approaching, and after that, we'll get our degree and we'll be finally free from this hell hole!" Aadhira said and forced a smile. " By the way, do you know where our exam center is going to be?" Shraddha asked. " Don't tell me, it's far from here! I've already spent enough money this time! And now, I am on the verge of poverty!" Aadhira pouted. " Don't worry! It isn't far this time. It's near the south werewolf headquarters." "Thank god! But how will I go? I am sure Jay will be dropping you there!" "Stupid, you can come with us! " "As if Jay will allow it?" " Oh, don't worry about him! He will do exactly what I want!" Shraddha said with a big smile. " How?" " Do you know what I asked for the first promise?" Shraddha asked. " What's the first promise?" Aadhira asked. " You seriously don't know anything about soulmates!" "Yes, I don't! And I don't want to know either! Why would I want to learn about the species I have nothing to do with?" Shraddha sighed and felt it better to just come to the topic already. "The first promise is a promise which a werewolf gives or takes, for his soul mate. Stupid, I know. But, for the first time, he would do anything she asks him. So, I asked him, to let me be friends with you!" Shraddha said happily. " Oh my god! Why did you waste this first promise thing on me? You should have asked him to let you go! " "First of all, the first promise doesn't include letting the soulmate go! And secondly, that dog was forcing me to leave you and join other b!tches. This is why I asked him to let me be friends with you." Shraddha said. " That's so... sweet of you, Shraddha! I love you." Aadhira said with a genuine smile. Shraddha laughed and nudged her. " Don't ever say that in front of Jay! Or else, he will kill you out of jealousy. " she laughed.
