WOLF PUPS AND
WRESTLING
M A R I G O L D
“Did you have to stick a crayon up your nose? Really?” Suppressing
a smile, I tip Daisy’s chin up to get a better look. The end of a
broken green crayon peeks out of her nostril. “Goddess help us
when you start shifting,” I mutter under my breath while stretching to reach
the nearest tissue box.
“Hold one side closed.” She pokes at her nose on the wrong side,
wincing. “No, baby, this one. And then blow your nose hard. If it doesn’t
come out, we’ll have to get your mama.”
Leaving the tiny menace to her task, I survey the rest of my class. My
job isn’t difficult with such a small class, but these students are a bit wilder
than typical human children.
“Wrap it up, friends! It’s almost two,” I command, gathering spare art
supplies from the closest table.
Buttery light streams in the massive windows. The walls of my oneroom schoolhouse are wallpapered with their paintings and drawings
between multiplication charts and historical timelines, handmade by yours
truly. Students sprawl across benches, paint brushes and markers in their
hands.
“I’m serious, I’m not cleaning up after you pups. Five minutes!”
At the sound of my scolding, a dishwater blonde head leans around
the door frame. “Doing okay, Goldie? Need me to teach any of these kids a
lesson?”
“Hey, Onyx,” I plant a hand on my hip, a wry smile curving my lips.
“I think we’re good, but thanks.”
“Got any more of those cookies you made for your class?” he asks.
“They’re for my students,” I say, rolling my eyes. Wandering to the
back table, I wrap a napkin around one of the remaining chocolate chip
cookies and bring it to Onyx.
“You’re the best!” He says, a grin lighting up his face.
Leaning past him, I wave at his twin.
“You want a cookie too, Cedar?”
“I’m good.” The afternoon sunlight streaks his hair amber,
contrasting with the deep tan from his hours outdoors. He’s handsome in a
golden-age movie star way.
Onyx is more of a rebel, always dressed in grungy band shirts and
ready with a joke or prank, but he’s a sweetheart under the shenanigans.
“You guys busy?” I ask, hearing a chorus of giggles behind me. Nosy
little stinkers.
Cedar nods, “Getting some training in.”
“Have a good time! See you later.”
Ducking back inside, I find that Daisy managed to shoot the crayon
out of her nose and now holds it up triumphantly. At least her mom won’t
be mad at me, even if I now have to confiscate a booger crayon.
“Alright, my little artists, let’s get this place cleaned up!”
After the school day ends, I wander across the sun-drenched meadow
toward my family’s cabin. Even though I moved in with my grandmother a
couple of years ago, I like to check back every so often. A household of
three men can get messy quickly and my father is hopeless with
housekeeping.
