Alce's pov
It is proven once again that I am surrounded by a bunch of idiots who surprising got into this class. As the teacher writes the equation on the board, I run the numbers in my head and before he finishes writing, I already know it. No, I am not a magician, but I just happen to have a good IQ.
"So, who can solve this monster?" The teacher asks, flaunting with his pen, as if he was a genius and nobody else knows. I raise my hand and he hands me the pen with a smirk.
Immediately I hold the pen, I feel ecstatic. My hands get a mind of their own and move as everyone in the class is in awe. When I'm done, the bell rings and they all run out before tge teacher can give assignment. I am about to follow them, when the teacher stops me.
"You're a really great kid Alce. Your parents must be proud of you." He says.
"Parent. Just one. Yes my mother is proud of me." I say walking out.
On my way to the parking lot, I am met by Tianna and her friends, who, as you have already guessed are the bullies of the school.
"Where are you going geek?" Tianna asked me, "Are you going to visit your mom Jenna?"
"Please, leave her out of this, and leave me alone." I say trying to avoid them.
"Or what? Are you going to create a time machine and destroy us with it?" A guy in the group said, and everyone laughed. I didn't get what was funny, so I just looked at them.
"I wouldn't waste my time on insignificant little assholes like you." I muttered, but they heard me.
"I'll show you who's an asshole." Tianna said, advancing to me, but before she could punch she was caught mid air buy a familiar, may I say family-ar hand, full of tattoos.
"Listen you wuss, I'm giving you a split second to get out of here before I do something so bad to you, that you will fear the word asshole." A deep and eerily calm voice said, and the group scattered like roaches exposed to light.
"Have they..." mom asked me and I jumped on her, and she hugged me back.
"I love you too mom. Sorry I was a jerk earlier." I say to her and she hugs me tighter. See things weren't always like this between us.
"Look, Alcee, I have not been a good mom, and I am so sorry for that. I would like us to at least have lunch together, like a mother-daughter date. Its not enough for all my shortcomings, but I hope it will improve our relationship." She tells me.
It you could have told me that this is my mother a few weeks ago, I would have denied completely. But she is making an effort, so I accept and we head to her Harley. As she rode, I held in to her hard abs tightly, and that was when I realized, she has always defended me the way she knew how, and that I would be nowhere without her. Just then, a black SUV starts following us, and mom sees it from the rearview mirror.
"Crap." She says.
"Drive faster mom." I say, holding her tightly. In that moment, what started out as a nice drive, turned into a high speed chase of life and death. As she accelerated, so did they. After a while, we lost them. But just as we had started to slow down, another bike came out of nowhere and hit us. Causing me and mom to fall on the ground, I was wearing mom's helmet so as I was safe, I saw blood oozing from her head and started to panic.
"Mom,mom , please wake up. Mom, can you hear me, please, please don't leave me, mom please, I love you, please." I half said half sobbed, but she lay still. I started shouting for help, then the man who had hit us approached us. I stayed still as if was rooted on the spot as my brain started loading. He took out his gun, but before he could shoot me,he was shot between his eyes. Blood splashed everywhere. Then the man who shot him, knelt to my mom, and said,
"Iris, please, principessa open your eyes for me. I stayed alive for you. Don't dare die on me." His voice was deep and almost like a whisper.
He raised his head and looked at me. He had a burnt face, and grey eyes, just like mine.
"Your hair is just like Iris'." He says, as if asking.
"Yes. She's my mom " I reply.
He carries her and tells me, "Follow me."
Just then, it begins to rain bullets, and before I react, I feel a sharp pain,and everything goes black.
