Kira POV
Pretty on the outside, dangerous on the inside. That's what most of are.
Even the quietest or nerdiest person you know has a dark side. A dark side that'll only come out when you fuck with them and underestimate their innocence.
My advice, don't fuck with people that come off as 'the silent type', they're usually the ones with the deepest and darkest thoughts.
Afterall, my mother back in Jamaica always told me, 'not all that glitter is gold' and I've always lived by that.
"Each team will have their captain face off, just to show the other teams what they're dealing with," Mr Smith says. "And guys, please make this interesting as always," The headmaster winks taking his seat. It's a good thing Alli's the captain and not me nor Mr Psychopath because we would've made the face off a little too interesting.
The students here are pretty good, I watch in amusement as the captains compete against each other. Apparently, one captain just choose which captain they wanna compete with, I don't see the point of that because some people are very bias. Either way, I know which team is going to wanna challenge us.
Well well well. Turns out the face off isn't that bias afterall because as far as I can see, the captains all chose someone they're not very familiar with. Not bias at all. "Alli Remoné..." Mr Smith announce, "You'll be going up against Amandi Barber. The captain of 'Double Trouble'."
Amandi who now? I've never heard that name before. Yeah, I don't like her.
"Amandi as captain? really," Rachel mumble. "I'm sorry..." she growls not too far away from us, "Did you say something?". She push through the crowd and walk up to us, with Regina and the other members of the group behind her. This is obviously personal.
OH MY- I remember this pinocchio nose looking bitch!
'The only reason she's here is to satisfy Christian's dick needs... She's obviously his little sex slave'
'Stay calm, Kira'. 'That was a year ago right? No need to be a bitch about it'.
Fuck that, I'm not crazy enough to cause a scene infront of the entire school... or am I?
"Amanda, Amandi or whatever your name is.." I smirk, "I'm pretty sure you heard what she said loud and clear, unless all that hair product of yours accidently drain through you the pores in your head and is affecting your pesky little brain."
Everybody in the room started laughing and one of the supervisors had to step infront us before I beat the shit out of Amandathol before Alli does. Not only do I have something personal against Amandi, I barely know anything about this bitch, but she definitely has something against my friends. So therefore, I guess any beefs they have against my friends involves me too and believe me... I like the trouble.
"So are we gonna do this or what?" Alli scoffs pulling off her shirt, she's wearing a tank top under. "I have a feeling this is going to be a lot easier than I thought," she smirks as she tie her hair up in a ponytail. This reminds of those highschool girls fights, when the girls can't fight they always aim for the hair. I've had experiences, like they are so many places on my body to aim for and you choose my hair! ugh
Christian wink at her and she smirks and walk off towards the ring. "Alli may be the better sibling but she's certainly not a saint. Afterall, we do have the same father," Christian whispers in my ear before walking closer to the ring. So he avoids me for 3 days and thinks he has the audicity to whisper in my ear?!
I'd be lying if I say I didn't miss his muthafucking breath though. Blood and mint
Either way, i'm going on that date with Jackson.
"Come on Princess," Jackson whispers taking my hand, "You don't wanna miss this fight." I nod and wrap my fingers around his. Oh lord... Jackson just called me 'princess'
"Are you prepare to watch your bestfriend lose?" This girl whispers to Lisa. "I'd ask you the same thing Gabby, we all know what Alli is capable of," Lisa says to her. "And bitch, you made a sad mistake thinking that you could ever beat me in a competition,". I watch as she push pass her and make our over to us.
Pretty little monsters suits us perfectly.
"Alright guys, let's get to it," Mr Smith announce. I wish I had some popcorn for this
Amandathol has her fangs out, while Alli simply cracks her fingers. "So you're brave enough to act bad infront of my friends but you're not brave enough to make the first move, huh?" Alli scoffs.
Amandi growls and speed over to her, trying to attack her, Alli dogdes her though and snap her neck from behind. That's a good move, but I was really looking forward to Alli kicking her ass. Oh well, it's gonna happen next week.
That was too fucking easy! And boring.
Alli walk out the ring with almost everyone applauding her. She smile and walks over to us, "I hope they know we won't be this nice next week."
"Oh they know," Jackson shouts.
><><><
As soon as we were dismissed, we head to the cafereria. Werewolves and witches aren't allowed in our cafeteria and vampires aren't allowed in theirs. Those rules don't apply to people like Christian though. He gets all the privilege since he's like the founder of the school. Which I gotta admit is pretty cool. I'm not gonna give him credit for it though, since I'm still mad at him, for reasons I'll come up with later.
"So Jackson..." Rachel chuckles, "When is the big date?".
I want to slap her so bad for bringing that up around Christian. I don't really care about what he thinks about me going with Jackson, but we all need to be on good terms for the competition next week.
"It's a surprise," he replies smiling at me.
"Wow, Jackson," Lisa winks, "Never took you for the romantic type."
"Surprise, surprise," Christian mumbles. Alli kick him under the table and he rolls his eyes and sips his drink, which is obviously blood. Suddenly this lunch is not that comfortable anymore.
He's always making things so damn complicated, like I don't see why he could be mad at me. I'm the one who's supposed to be mad at him.
"Any news on wolf tattoo lady?" I ask changing to the topic. "There's nothing to worry about for now..." Lisa states, "The good news is,whoever is trying to hurt you is smart enough not to do it when you're at Stanford that is why she had Vanessa move your body. Bad news is, they're gonna try to make their move when you are not on this grounds and I have a feeling that she knows exactly when you're going to leave school grounds."
So that means that the person used to attend this school... Or is working with someone who attends the school.
"I think this woman knows more about us than we think she does. They were a hundred percent sure that when the hunters captured Kira, Christian would've went for her. They also knew that he wouldn't go alone because he wouldn't have reached there in time if he ran," Alli explains, "They knew that you're only hope was a spell and obviously there's only witch here that you trust," she breathe out looking at Lisa. "They also know that I would interfere because i'm always trying to help my brother and Christian would've come to me first."
"They've been watching us for a long time," I add.
It makes sense. How else would they have known when I was going to wake up? Christian told me that he used to look out for me when I human, which explains why I felt like I was being watched most of the times, but it's obvious he wasn't the only one who was watching me back then.
"This woman is no amateur," Jackson states, "She planned it before you even came to this place, yet she waited one year after your death. I'm starting to think that she has something to do with why you took so long to wake up."
"Yeah I was thinking about that too. I did my research and according to my math, you were supposed to wake up within 2-4 days and trust me, my math is incredible, it's a part of being a witch."
She planned it all. I gotta admit, she has to be really smart to pull that off. I don't like this, who knows what other things she knows about me.
"Has it ever occured to you guys that if the woman is really working with someone on the inside, then that person could be listening to us right now?" Christian whispers tapping his finger on the table.
"What makes you think it's a vampire?" Jackson asks.
"What makes you think it's not?".
We all look around to see if anyone was eavesdropping on our conversations. I scan the room, table by table, person by person and pulse by pulse, nobody seems suspicious to me. Yet, I still have a feeling we're being watch.
The best way to catch the shark is to play the bait.
Well ofcourse the bait has a fifty percent chance of dying... unless it's someone or something that's already dead.
The look on Christian face is like he's trying to read my mind. Pfft, sometime I barely understand whats taking place in my big ol' head. "Well imma head out," I yawn getting up from around the table.
"Why? We still need to take about the possibility of someone working for the mastermind behind your kidnapping," Lisa whispers. Blah blah blah
I button my jacket and tighten my ponytail a little. "Well i'm a hundred percent sure someone is working for her on the inside and i'm also pretty sure that whoever has been spying on us knows where to find me. If he/she wanted to make a move already, they would've." Deep down I have a feeling that I see this person is a vampire, Christian seems pretty sure that he/she is and I he's right. Not only is this person super fast to be watching us all this time and not get caught but he/she also doesn't have a traceable scent, only vampires have that.
"Well since we have nothing else to do all day..." Rachel smiles, "You guys wanna come over?".
I can't believe she just invite people over without my approval. Friends or not, this is basically roommate code.
"Yeah sure," Alli and Lisa says getting up. We empty the table and get our stuff ready, I try my best to act as chill as possible. Don't know how long that's gonna last. It's pretty obvious Christian doesn't wanna come and surprise surprise I don't want him to come either. "Is it okay if I skip?" Jackson asks scratching his head. I smile and nod my head as he kiss my cheek before speeding away. He kissed my cheek.
He used to do that to me.
I hate this. I was hoping that I could just stay away from them and everything will be okay. But it's not, I miss them.
I miss my parents, and I don't mean the parents that didn't want me in the first place, the parents that thought it was okay to give me up. I have no idea if they're still alive and everytime I feel like asking Christian about it, the thought slips my mind. If they really cared, they would've done something.
Even though I want nothing to do with them, I'm not sure who to hate more... Me or them?
Adina and Shawn took care of me for 8 years, they gave me food, clothing, shelter, a happy family and everything a child needed. They took a child that doesn't belong to them and gave her a home.
I remember how Shawn used to kiss my cheek everytime he thinks I was hiding something. It was his way of telling me he's there for me. He always was. I miss them a lot and I want more than anything to know if they're okay.
There has to be a reason why both set of parents gave me away...
"Are you okay?" Rachel asks. I sigh myself out of my thoughts in search of the perfect answer to that dreadful question. "I've been worse."
"Are you going to disappear like you always do?" Alli grunts at her brother.
He sigh, "If I really wanted to disappear, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Now come on, I can't stay but I can at least walk you there." She smiles and I've used that smile so many times to know that it's fake. It's not fake because she's mad at me... it's fake because she wants to him to think she's mad at him.
She really cares about him even though he acts like a jerk sometimes and I have to admit... it's very hard to stay mad at that fucking boy.
Seeing them reminds me of my brothers and I. They were two of the most annoying persons I've ever met, so is Christian. Heck, All brothers are annoying asf, yet we still care about them... whether we want to or not.
I try my best to ignore their conversations and focus on something completely opposite. Regardless of that, I can't help but recognize the way Lisa acts around Christian. The way she looks at him, reminds me of the way Jackson looks at me but this different, I can see it in her eyes and these feelings are pure. She's a nice girl and all, so I really hope she's not stupid enough to fall for a fuckboy.
"Hey Alice, wanna come back to reality now?" Rachel tease.
"Do you think it'll suit me if I dye the end of my hair brown?"
"I think it would look great on you," Rachel squeals looking back at me.
Lisa stops and raise an eyebrow, "Why the sudden change, does it have to do with a boy?"
Pa-lease, I can do whatever the fuck I want with my hair whenever the fuck want, this has absolutely nothing to do with Jackson. Why the hell would I even change myself for a guy, or anybody else for that matters? My hair looked like this when he asked me out.
Alli winks and I instantly regret bringing up that topic. I sigh and walk off before them before they could say anything else.
"Is it just me or is something weird going on between these two?" Rachel asks. I swear this girl really needs to learn how to keep her mouth shut.
"Just you," Christian scoffs.
I bite on my lip trying to keep my mouth shut. I do this every time I want to say something but I do not want to say anything because I'm not sure if I should, and deep down I know I need to say something because If I don't... Who tf is!!
Either way.. I always end up saying something because that's just Kira and her grande la boca.
"Oh really so you haven't been avoiding me all week?" Like I said, I always end up saying something.
"I wasn't avoiding you hunny, I was just staying as far away from you as possible," he shrugs.
"Hashtag genius," Rachel scoffs, "That is exactly what avoiding is,". Alli basically shrove her inside our room and winks before walking in after Lisa. "Oh and I love you brother but she's still going on that date with Jackson," She whispers and close the door.
Nothing he says can change my mind from going out with Jackson...
Five minutes passed and neither of us said anything. It sucks that we're equally stubborn. I twist my loop behind my back and try to pretend like this isn't awkward. It terrifies me to say it but, I missed him.
I fucking miss this annoying, crazy muthafucker.
"Why are they not saying anything?" Alli whispers.
"Because we can hear you eavesdropping, genius," Christian scoffs. I listen as they quickly turn on the tv and turn up the volume. I roll my eyes because even though they probably can't hear us clearly, I can still hear Rachel's breathing directly against the door.
"I'm happy for you two."
I wonder what his definition of happy is.
"Funny way of showing it," I mumble. I saw the way he looked at me back at the gym when Jackson held my hand and that is certainly not a happy face.
He sigh and runs his hand through his hair, "The last time Jackson went on a date with someone, it didn't end so well and that was 200 years ago." Oh
The last time I went on a date seems like forever ago.
"So what? You're worried that I'm going to hurt him?".
His lips curl in a smile then it's replace with his usual stern look. "No, my dear Choco... I'm worried about the things I'd do to him if he hurt you."
I open my mouth to say something but nothing came out. I have no idea how to reply to that. I know the only reasons why he cares so much is because of his promise to my grandmother and besides, he likes hurting people. He've known Jackson waayyy longer than I have but I know he's not crazy enough to hurt me. That's suicide.
He figured I wasn't gonna answer him anytime soon, he smirks and turn to leave. I breathe out a heavy breath I never knew I was holding and lean back on the solid concrete. I need a milkshake
"Oh and I know it doesn't matter but..." He shouts getting into the elevator. "I like your hair just the way it is." It does matter.
The elevator door closes before I could even reply. Somethings are better off left unsaid.
Fuck, I need blood, a milkshake and a boy in my life that doesn't look like a Greek God.
