Chapter 2: She's so precious.
༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄
After parking my car, and overthinking just about everything, I grab my keys, bag and phone. I get out my car and enter the school building. Teenagers are scattered everywhere, nobody seems to notice me, which is a good thing, I'm not here for popularity or any drama, I'm here to get education, do my very best and try to repay ma back for all she's done for me.
I successfully find my way to the secretary office without anyone's help. I walk in and see a short lady that's probably in her fifties, short black hair, with brown eyes.
"Morning, how can I help you?" She asks in a cheerful voice.
"Hi I'm Elle, the ne-" I reply but she quickly interrupts me
"Elle Davis, but of course, here's your schedule, your locker combination... oh and this is for your grandmother please give it to her when you get home."
I take the two papers that's suppose to be my schedule and locker combination aswell as the brown envelope that's suppose to be for ma.
"Thank you." I say before walking out.
I find my locker and take some books out of my bag that I wont be needing for the first three sessions and place it in my locker. I turn on my phone and call ma, she instantly picks up.
"Hello sweetie, is everything alright?" She asks in a worried voice, I giggle
"Yes ma, everything is okay, urhm... the lady at the secretary gave me a envelope to give to you." I say
"Oh, Its probably just details about the school, Anyway darling, you have a good day!, Bye!"
"Bye ma." I say into the phone but she's already hung up.
I put my earphones in and listen to some music wishing the day would just end already.
After three periods of working and taking notes, its finally lunch, thank god! But first I need the toilet.
After doing my thing and washing my hands, I notice a girl about my age sitting down on the floor, her right cheek red, tears running down them
"Hey, are you okay?" I ask
"C-c-Could you just call my b-brother... please?" She speaks through the sobs
"Yeah sure." I say. She points to her bag on the sink counter and I fish her phone out, surprisingly there's no password, so I go through her contact list looking for a 'bro' or 'brother'
"Zach." She quickly says, I ring Zach and after a few seconds he picks up.
"Hey Kayla, Everything okay?"
He speaks, his voice like an angel, like a lullaby, sweet and caressing.
"Uhm Kayla?"
I realize I hadn't spoken yet, stupid Elle!
"Your sister, girls bathroom." Is all I manage to say then I hang up.
I look her way and see the state she's in, I bend down beside her, afraid to say anything, so I just hold her as she sobs into my chest
After what seems like 2 minutes, the door springs open, standing there is Zach, I assume, I look up from his sister and stare at him, he doesn't seem to notice as he just looks at her in shock. I take in his beautiful dark brown hair, his hazel eyes, his full pink lips, his muscles bulging through his t-shirt. I immediately stop myself. This is probably not a good time to be checking him out.
Bad Elle,bad!
Zach suddenly rushes to Kayla's side, completely ignoring me.
"Kayla, what happened?, who did this to you?"
I get up and take this as my queue to leave, this is a family's issue, but Kayla quicky grabs my hand
"Please, stay." She says in a hushed tone
I turn my head to Zach to get his approval, he nods and I sit down by Kayla's side holding her hand.
We sit there in silence eventually Kayla speaks
"Luke cheated on me, S-so I broke up with him not telling him that I knew, he got upset, said mean things to me... t-t-then he slaped me"
I notice Zach's hands turning into fists as his knuckles turn white.
"Fuck, I tried warning you, I told you he's bad for you."
He tries getting up but Kayla stops him
"He's not worth it." She says,
Zach turns to me and speaks "Please just keep an eye on her."
Then he storms out the restroom and disappears.
Kayla gets up, walks to a sink, washes her face off and applies some make up, then quickly turns to me, smiling as though she hasn't just been physically abused.
She's so beautiful. She looks nothing like Zach, their features are completely different from one another. She's got blonde hair and green eyes, her smile the prettiest, How could anyone hurt her? She's so precious.
"Come." She says taking my hand and walking out with me alongside her.
We reach the cafeteria, only to witness a fight. Zach is on top of another guy, throwing punches at his face. Kayla rushes through the crowd of teenages cheering on the fight, some laughing in amusement, others recording the scene on their phones. Idiots.
I hesitate but follow her anyway.
"You fucking piece of shit!" Zach shouts throwing another punch at the guy's face
"Please just stop!" Kayla says, her voice firm
"Listen to your bitch of a sister." The guy under Zach says, I immediately assume that it's Luke
Zach punches him again, harder this time, blood coming from Luke's mouth.
Kayla pulls Zach off Luke and whispers something to him, he looks at Luke one more time.
"If you ever talk to my sister again, even so much as look at her, I'll kill you." Zach says, his voice full of hurt and anger.
He takes Kayla's hand in his and walks away with her. Kayla gives me an apologetic look before leaving with Zach.
I stand there shocked, so much for no drama.
Ugh I'm exhausted.
