CHAPTER FOUR

"And then, he said I was too creepy goth for him! Like what the hell is creepy goth? Is there a not creepy goth that I'm not aware of? "

"Miss Emerald Emerson, do you want to go visit the principal's office?"

Emerald froze then smiled sweetly as Catherine laughed quietly behind her notebook knowing what was coming.

"No, Mrs. Suck dick."

The class burst into laughter as the teacher turned red, "What did you just say?!"

Emerald smiled innocently, "I said I don't want to go to the principal's office Mrs. Sussex."

Mrs. Sussex growled at her, "Principal's office right now Emerson!"

Emerald crossed her legs and rose a pierced brow, "On what charges? I did nothing wrong." She smirked at the fuming teacher, "It's not my fault that your name describes you perfectly. Mrs. I suck at sex."

The class burst into laughter again as Mrs. Sussex face got even redder.

"Go to the principal's office right now, Emerald Emerson! You have detention for two weeks! In fact, a whole month!"

Emmy's smug face changed, "What!? You can't do that!"

The door of the class room opened as Kyril stepped in. He took in the red face of the teacher and Emmy's angry voice.

"Sup?"

Emerald smirked, "If you give me detention, you have to give him detention too. He's twenty minutes later to a half an hour class!"

The class was silent as they waited for Mrs. Sussex answer.

"Uhmmm...well fine! Both of you have detention today."

After a minute of panicked glances at the silent boy standing at the door, Kyril finally rolled his eyes and walked to the guy in the seat beside Catherine. He didn't say anything as the boy packed his things to another seat.

Kyril sat down and crossed his long legs before promptly ignoring everything in favour of staring at Catherine while she ignored him.

The next three classes passed in a similar fashion with Kyril annoying Catherine and her ignoring him. At lunch, he finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Are you mad at me?"

Catherine huffed and scribbled something in her notebook.

Kyril placed his head on his palm, "Cause if you are, I'm sorry. I was just really moving into my new place. I had a lot of things to take care of."

Catherine paused her writing and looked up at him with a smile. "Sorry what was that?"

Kyril's brow rose up and he looked away, "Nothing. You most have imagined me saying something."

Emmy rolled her eyes," Hello! Earth to love birds? We're still here you know?"

Edward said nothing but his glare was fixed on Kyril's smirking face.

"You got a problem Eddie?"

Edward growled, "Don't fucking call me that, asshole."

"Woah, Edward. Where the heck did that come from?" ,Emmy exclaimed.

Catherine frowned, "Edward apologise right now. That was very rude."

"Rude?", Edward was standing now. "I'm being rude? How about he wipe that fucking smirk from his face and leave you the fuck alone?"

Kyril chuckled, "Awww, is little Eddie jelly?" He smirked again. "Don't worry. You're still gonna be a friend to her."

Edward growled and launched himself at Kyril who dodged and kicked him square in the butt sending him head first into a near by table.

"Oops! My bad."

The whole cafeteria burst into laughter. People were taking pictures as Edward wiped the food off his face with a grimace.

"Emmy stop laughing and do something! Kyril, you stop this right now!"

Kyril faced Catherine with a contrite expression, "I was just having a little fun."

Behind them, Edward rose to his feet, a metal tray clutched in his hand.

"Kyril watch out."

Kyril didn't even look as he reached behind him, grabbed Edward's hand that held the tray and twisted it. He cut of his yell of pain by sharply pushing a pressure point on his wrist. Edward fell down unconscious.

There was silence.

"...Neat trick. Can you teach me?"

Kyril went to reply but caught the furious look on Catherine's face and fell silent.

Catherine took a deep breath. Then another. And then yet another. And when she was calm, she packed her things and gestured for them to follow her.

Kyril quickly tossed Edward over his shoulder and followed her out of the silent cafeteria.

They walked in silence while casting worried glances at the back of Catherine's head.

Stopping at a door, Catherine knocked and pushed it open.

"Well, isn't this a surprise. Good afternoon Miss Woods."

"Good afternoon, Mrs Croft. I'm afraid to report that Edward fell and bumped his head. He's knocked out cold."

Catherine's voice was cool and even giving nothing away. Emmy snickered and Catherine tossed her a glare so cold she shivered and looked away.

"Well, that's a terrible shame. Just set him down on the bed right there and I'll check him up."

The old man looked up at them behind his spectacles, "Do hurry up. Lunch will be ending in a few minutes. " The teenagers said their thanks and left the office.

The silence continued until Kyril couldn't take it anymore.

"I'm sorry. "

Two apologises in a day. Can this get any worse?

Catherine said nothing as the stepped into the empty geometry class. She took a seat beside the window, placed her bag under her desk and promptly ignored the two of them.

It just got worse.

"Come on kitty kat. You know Edward was just asking for that beating."

Catherine spared her a glare and turned back to the window. Kyril sighed loudly and sat on the seat beside hers.

Annoyed, he asked,"Why are you angry? Emmy's right. He deserved what he got. He's lucky I didn't break his arm."

Catherine whirled around, a furious expression on her face, "I'm not angry that you fought okay?!" She sighed tiredly and relaxed. "I'm angry that you put yourself in harm's way. "

Kyril snickered and Catherine narrowed her eyes at him. He flinched and looked away guilty.

A gunshot wound or being stabbed is a lot better than this. I hate lectures.

She sighed and shook her head, "I know it was just a tray and I'm probably over reacting.." Yeah, just a tiny bit. "...But he could have seriously hurt you and you're just ...just not worried! Where you even a little scared?"

Kyril's shocked expression at her little tantrum changed into a soft smile. "You were just worried about me?"

Emmy squealed as silently as she could behind them. This is soooo cute!! My bestie is having a crush! Eeeiiiii.

Catherine's eyes widened and she turned away with a blush, "I never said I was worried."

Kyril chuckled, "I know. I heard you loud and clear, Gatáki.
