I leaned against a locker as I waited for Troy who was called back by a teacher to sort something out. We'd just had math and my head was splitting. One from the problems we had to solve and two, from the daggers I got from Ace Valentino. I shut my eyes for a moment and opened them, only to be met by a nice pair of green eyes staring at me. I almost screamed out loud.
"shh" he cautioned "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you" I blinked at him. He was a tall brunette with those cute green eyes. He had a bag pack strapped to his back.
"um…can I help you?" I asked him. He chuckled.
"you look mortified"
"why wouldn't I be? When you show up straight in my face" I snapped at him. He seemed a bit taken aback but quickly recovered from the shock.
"I'm Jose Davila"
I rolled my eyes "Sofia Carter" we stared at each other in awkward silence.
"Sofia" I heard Rihanna yell from the end of the hallway. I turned to her in relief, someone to save me from this guy. Zoe was beside her and Jose turned to acknowledge them as they came nearer.
"Jose" Rihanna said with a forced smile. Jose grinned at her "hey Rihanna"
"mind if we borrow Sofia?" Zoe asked "never mind, I'm taking her anyway" she took my hand and we headed down the hallway leaving Jose standing and staring at us.
"who was that?" I asked them.
"Jose Davila, the governor's son" I almost choked. Are you kidding me?
"he's super annoying, stay away from him, trust me he's no good" I nodded at her words as Troy came running to us.
"sorry Sof, let's go" he led me to Chemistry. I hated it so much. It was difficult to understand and the teacher was talking like a droning machine. Ace was supposed to be in the class but he never showed up. I glanced at the door once in a while waiting for him to show p but he never did and I didn't even know why I was so anxious.
I walked out of the class disappointed. We had lunch next and the hallway was already empty. Troy came running to me with an annoyed look.
"fight Sofia, Ace got in a fight" I gulped and followed him to the cafeteria. Most, if not all the students were watching Ace and Jose tear themselves apart. They were both bleeding with cuts and bruises. Gio, Theo and Edward rushed into the cafeteria and pulled them apart. Ace struggled against Theo but Theo was stronger. We all followed behind as Theo dragged Ace out of the cafeteria. We got to the Executive room and settled down. Zoe got the first aid kit from a locker and started to bring out bandages and antiseptics.
"I don't need those" Ace whined.
"shut it Valentino, you get yourself in a mess and we are the ones that clean it up" she retorted. Ace shut up and I watched as Zoe cleaned his wounds. Theo was pacing the length of the room with an annoyed look, running his hand through his hair once in a while. The room was silent except for an occasional groan from Ace and the sound of Theo's footsteps.
"why freaking Davila Ace?" he suddenly yelled. We all stopped and stared at him.
"he insulted her" it was like the entire room froze. The bell for the next class rung but I made no move to stand neither did anyone else.
"Sofia, go to class" Theo said turning to face me.
"what? But…" I started to protest.
"now" he growled. I grabbed my bag and fled the room. Things just got mysterious. There are things nobody is telling me.
