That was weird

(Leon's POV)

"F***!" I yell as I arrive at the school, everyone had already gone to class I was definitely late, and Mr. Kardel was going to have my head. Gods I hope he's running late as well! I can't believe Fish guts actually kicked me out of the car! MILES from the school! I was practically in enemy territory at that point, I said I was sorry! I thought it was only salt water that turned him, not just any water! If he didn't sleep so damn late in the first place I wouldn't have poured the water on him in the first place. He's lucky it's a cloudy day and I didn't get caught flying to school.

"Good morning class!" I hear him yell from across the building as I grab my books. 'Well sh**!' I hear my dragon laugh, both of us going silent as the smell of buttered apples and cinnamon tickles my nose, freezing me in my tracks. My heart stops as a memory from a past life replays in my head from when I had first come across this scent. I don't know how long I actually stood there outside the door taking in the smell, 'Is that…?' I peek through the little window to see if I could spot her and sure enough there she was. My Oracle, there is only ever one oracle, once one dies another is born, the same goes for her mates. From glimpses of memories and legends, it is said that the original Oracle had multiple mates, one from each faction. The ones that were recorded were the Werewolf, Siren, and Myself the Dragon. Each was sworn to protect her throughout each lifespan.

I hear Mr. K giving his introduction to world history speech and begin taking roll calls when I saw who she was sitting next to, of course it had to be him of all people. Bursting through the door a little too hurriedly the once chatty room goes silent as I glare at Wilson.

(Mia's POV)

The door swings open causing the room to go quiet, murmurs were heard across the room as a guy comes barreling in. He's very tall, his hair a wild mess of dark red curls, and you could see the outline of his muscles through his shirt. Quickly straightened himself up, the mystery intruder cleared his throat before speaking in a low deep voice, "Sorry Mr.K, lost track of time at weights-"

"Mr. Monroe so glad you could finally join us, now go take a seat over there by...Ms. Robinson correct?" the teacher inquired looking directly at me.

"Y-Yes, Mr. Kardel.." I stammered in surprise, 'Wait, wait, wait- HERE?? Next to me?!' I quickly scanned the room to see if there were any other open seats besides the one next to mine and not a single one was open except for the one next to Wilson. Wilson was at the table just on the other side of me glaring at the new guy as he strutted towards me and sat on the other side of me. The tension between these two felt so thick you could cut it with a spoon.

I look over towards my new table-mate with a sheepish smile and hold out my hand, "Hi, I'm Mia…"

"Leon" He hesitated, avoiding even looking at me.

I hear a few of the girls giggle and whisper, "Look at her! Who does she think she is?"

I take my hand away and turn back to my drawing praying to the gods that class will be over soon and I can just skip ahead to lunch.

By the time lunch rolls around, despite it being a small school I find myself attempting to find Brittany, with little to no luck finding her. I head to the cafeteria spotting a mostly empty table aside from one girl, Sarah I think, trying to eat her lunch while another girl with dark brown hair and her goons loom over her. Watching carefully as I walk towards her I notice one of the mean girls grab her milk carton and is about to pour it on Sarah's head. I rush over and "accidentally" bump into the girl causing her to not only get spaghetti all over her uniform but spill the milk on her friend instead. The girls scream as I try to suppress a laugh and gain silence from the cafeteria which then turns into laughter from those who watched the whole thing.

"YOU FREAKING IDIOT!!!" The girl in the middle screams at me, her face turning cherry red.

"Oops, sorry! I didn't see you there, are you girls okay here I think I have some napkins.." I say grabbing a napkin off my tray only to realize that there was ketchup on it after the girl in the middle attempted to dry herself off with it, smearing ketchup all over her face and shirt. The cafeteria busts out laughing, and she starts screaming again and lands a punch on the left side of my face once she notices what had just happened. 'I definitely didn't think she would actually do that' I thought, setting my tray down as one of her goons tried to grab me only to fall flat on the ground when I dodge her advance.

"Why you little B-!" She yells, only for someone to grab her wrist before she could throw a second punch. I look behind her to see Leon grabbing her wrist with Wilson and Brittany right behind him. The look on her face was priceless when she noticed who was holding her back. Leon just stares at me, seeming intrigued at the altercation I had managed myself into, while Wilson seemed proud and Brittany was well trying to keep from rolling on the ground laughing.

"Leave her alone, Vanessa" he demands, his eyes seeming to turn a deep crimson red before flashing back to his usual hazel. Vanessa lets out one last scream of frustration before her and her goons storm away towards the bathroom. Leon sulks off before I can even say thank you as Wilson and Brittany approach us.

"Are you alright?" Wilson asks both Sarah and I. We just look at each other and I shrug.

"Eh I'm alright you should see the other guy." We all burst out laughing as we sat down at the table.

"OMG! That was totally awesome!" Brittany cheers with excitement.

"Th-Thank you, you didn't have to do that..." Sarah says softly with a gentle smile.

"Hey I was just doing what I believe anyone else would do besides that's what friends are for right?" I say, even though I've only known her for a short while she seems like a really sweet girl. When she hears my words she stops eating all together and just looks at me in shock.

"F-friends?" She stammers.

"Well, yeah but only if you want to be friends-" I couldn't even finish my sentence, before I knew it she was giving me the biggest hug. Hugging her back and giving her a pat on the shoulder, I laugh "Alright, alright come on now I'm starving! I can't eat if you're giving me a death grip!"

She suddenly sits back down in her chair, blushing from embarrassment, and continues eating. Before we know it the bell is ringing along with an announcement calling me to the office.

"Uh oh, busted!" Brittany teases.

"Want me-us to come with you? you could use some witnesses." Wilson asks. I pondered his question for a bit, I didn't want to drag any of them into this but Wilson has a point and I have no idea where my next class is if I manage to get through this without a suspension.

"Only if you guys don't mind-" I begin to say before I see Brittany dragging Sarah down the hall.

"You two got this! Sarah and I have a movie to get to and I am not missing a single bit of it!" She yells back, turning to wink at me as they disappear into a classroom.

"Well then I guess it's just the two of us," he smirks, holding out his arm in the direction of the office as if to say 'after you' I laugh and we start heading towards the office.
