CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Day in Xavier School. Aurora and Misty sat on the floor, leaning their back at the locker room while their eyes studied the crowded student walking, talking, standing, laughing in the hallway before the bell rings. Aurora closes her eyes, taking a nap for a bit before the class begins. "Who the boy walked with you earlier?"

"Don't you know?" said Aurora. "Danford's son. He used to be a chubby boy back we little. Outcast they called him."

"Laurent!?" she blinked. "Laurent Danford, seriously , that's him. Cool. When he kissed the frog suddenly he turned into a charming prince. Though he lived in Hawaii." her eyes locked on him, he notices then gives her a smile as he knows who Misty is. "He is smiling at me."

Aurora snort. "Of course. Because he knows you." opening up her eyes, she looked at him without a smile. "I bet that Bate is hunting for him and Mr Ryan."

"Getting jealous." said Misty, Aurora shakes her head no. "Oh she will." Minutes later the school bell rang, the two girls hurried up from the floor, locking their lockers as they walked toward the class. "I bet that Bate is already claiming they are both." said Misty in whispers.

As the girl arrives at the door class they see Laurent lean at the wall with a smile as he looks at the girl. He greeted me. "You two in this class?"

"Yeah. Are you?"

He smiled again. "Same. Let's get inside together." his eyes lock at Misty. "Hey, Misty." she nodded with blushed, taking their own seat. His eyes look around the class slowly he takes a turn pacing to Aurora and Misty who seat near him he said. "Like we were children back then. Remember we share the same class exactly like this."

"Yeah, though like Hell." said Misty with a snort she leaned back on her chair and suddenly she jolted and continued to talk with him. "Are you really Danford's son? Or are you just his imposter pretending to be one and you stole his ID to be like him?" Her accusation makes Laurent burst into little laughter, not so loud. She continued. "Aren't you!?" she demanded the answer.

Laurent rubs his crooked nose. "I'm the imposter I killed the real Laurent, are you happy?" he chuckled. "No, I'm the real Laurent Danford. Just said the time is changing . I can't be old Laurent forever. I must prove to myself that I can change my whole life and be more human than an outcast."

"Like Jeremy Melton in the Valentine film, as suddenly he changes into Adam Carr isn't it crazy. Taking down his misery by killing those girls who rejected him coldly and you likely like him; you know he used to be an outcast student too. Are you!?"

"You still doubt me, Misty. I may have liked him but I didn't like him. I don;t have the time to kill someone who made my life miserable back then. Just be yourself and move on with your life. Case close." he smiled.

Misty snorted and she leaned back on her chair. A minute later Anael entered the class knowing Laurent had the same class with his beloved. He stormed in putting all his bag and book on the table then he stood in the middle of the class with a not satisfied face. His eyes lock on Laurent then to Aurora. He snorted remembering what Michael said before, taking his part to be a normal man not a maniac person.

"I assume there's a new student in my class." he glares. "Mr Danford!?" he called, Laurent looked up at him. "Care to introduce yourself as a new student in my class." said Michael and he did. After the introduction Anael asked. "Tell me, what's the difference between the loyal and the cheater."

The student looked at each face frowning at what just happened as Anael asked the question to them. Olivia raised her hand knowing the answer with an evil smirk. "Basically, a loyal form of trust to each other is like a relationship, a couple. Cheaters -- form to lie to each other. Like my ex-boyfriend cheating behind my back."

"Thank you Miss Bate exactly the same way I feel right now." Another student raised his hand but he forbade it knowing what they wanted to ask him. "Fun question actually." he said, locked his eyes on Aurora. "Can you tell me how that feels?"

All the students said not to include Aurora. "Hurt, pain, and betrayal."

"Good. I presume the person whom I mentioned it to please take note." exactly she sees Anael eyes lock on her. In her thought -- why? she's nothing to do with him. "Please turn your pages 101." He unlocked his eyes, turned his feet, walked toward the blackboard and started to write.

At the back of him Aurora stares on his back both of her arms on her chest in sigh she leans back on her chair and stares at Anael back. Laurent noticed what she was doing and he tapped the table gently. "What are you doing? You look like you are eating our teacher alive."

"I'am. My mouth couldn't fit him. If I can , I can swallow him by now.'' The two couples talk in silence, without they knowing Anael could hear them too as Michael stood beside him and saw Anael 's eyes.

At the cafeteria, the three childhood friends sat together at one table, eating and talking but not for Aurora; she just heard them and all the crowded voices could be heard surrounding her. She sat back and relaxed, closing her eyes. "I can see he hates me. Don't you think, Misty."

"He clearly is not hating you for no reason Laurent. His deep blue eyes made me melt by touching him with my bare hand. He is such a sexy man on Earth. It would be a disaster if someone crossed over, like the daughter of Bate's." she pointed. He looked at her and then nodded."You and our English teacher are on our school hot list. That girl will claim you boths by her bare hand." she said, showing her scary face to Laurent. He didn't bother.

Aurora snorted while her eyes still closed. "She will take you, drag you if she could and the next thing you know, you and our English teacher slept on her bed - - tied."

"Trying to scare me by your stupidity fairy tales stories I don't mind. But you thought of it I don't think she can. How strong she is - - Samson." he breath. "Look i don't mean to talk behind his back but clearly you can see how he looked at me; like wants to eat me alive."

"You're the newcomer in this school, Laurent. He can't do anything or touch you. Just relax he's not GAY."

He snorted. "Not gay!? just look at him now." he purred his lips whereas Anael sat together with other teachers. His eyes totally locked on him. "I'm dead."

"Stop it! you are too emotional about it. RELAX. nothing could happen, he won't hunt you for food." she said, tapping his shoulder.

After lunch before heading toward the class, Aurora takes her step to the restroom alone while Misty and Laurent head back to class. For the first quite normal to her till someone grabbed her waist from behind then pushed her hard inside the room, she could hear the door slacking lock. Struggling. She jumped to the front away from the stranger, knowing who it was.

"What the HELL are you doing!?"

"Stay away from him."

"WHY!!" she screams, "I can do whatever I want. Wasn't your business anyway." he now pinning her on the wall with warm eyes, "LET ME GO!"

"Just do what I'd said. Stay away from him! or else you will regret it and in the meantime no one will help you."

She blinked. "I don't need someone to help, including you!"

"You will regret it. That boy wasn't the boy you know." a Stubborn controls her; she keeps struggling and trying to push him away from her. Knowing what capable she can do, Anael pins his body down to her, luring her as he kisses her lips hard till it turns into passionate kisses the two have never experienced before. She then broke the kiss between them and slaps he received from her in anger. Anael backs away.

"I should report you on this!"

"Then do what you can do to report me? They won't know me nor barely know me, Aurora. No one knows. Including you. They will forget about me." he continued. "So I dare you - - GO. See what they will do about me."

He then turns his feet and bolts out of the room leaving speechless Aurora behind. What he means is that no one will know him. Is it true what Michael said about him? An Angel will look and protect her - - Anael? doesn't make sense.
