Chapter 14

I'd never thought I'd say this but detention was fun. We waltzed, read the literature, talked about things and had a good time. I should step on Victor's toes more often if it meant more time with my favorite teacher.

We even took some pictures with Snapchat filters and posted them. Don't worry, we blocked some numbers from viewing. Soon it's 7 pm and we bid each other farewell.

So basically detention was a blast. And it's going to be like that for the next two weeks.

I grin to myself as I walk back home, I hear my phone ring and I retrieve it from my pocket, it's Daylon,

"Hey what's up?" I greet him casually,

"Are you home yet?" His voice sounds playful,

"No" I stretch out wondering what could be tickling him,

"Great! I left a surprise for you in your room, I'm sure you'll like it,

"Wait—" the line cuts and I stare at my screen in disbelief. I quickly run home to see what the surprise is. Cody opens the door for me and I land his face with kisses, I quickly run upstairs to my room,

"Evening," he says in shock,

"What's wrong with her?" Tiffany sneers and goes back to pinging on her phone.

I see a white bag on my bed and I approach it carefully, it might be a raccoon. I open the bag slowly and bring out a transparent plastic jar. Filled with Mars.

"How did he know?" I stare at it in disbelief, I grab my phone and send Debbie a text,

Eris: What else about me did you tell Daylon?!

She responds after a few seconds,

Debbie: Nothing! Swears!!

I huff and snap a picture of the present and send it to her, she sends me an emoji with heart eyes and I huff even louder, "He's acting like a boyfriend now." my cheeks glow red and I shake off the thought.

I get changed and go downstairs for dinner, I couldn't stop thinking about his kind deed,

"What's up with you Eris? You look like you're in love" Cody coos stretching the last word, he is making fun of me. I pull his ear and he whines,

"Maybe some dumb boy asked her to be his girlfriend" Tiffany mocks,

"That didn't happen. And even if it did he'll be way better than any boy that comes your way" Cody snickers at my statement which makes her scoff at me.

I retire to my room and take off my shirt, "I didn't say thank you" I remember and send him a message saying thank you, he doesn't reply and I drop my phone then drop to my bed. I roughen my hair and glance at the gift, I hadn't expected it so I guess it was a surprise.

A smile spreads across my lips.

School only becomes more interesting for me, classes, homework, and the quality time I get to spend with Mrs. Brown. I managed to get enough money to buy essential baby stuffs all in color red and wrap it up as a giant surprise. I could tell she saw it from the look on her face when she came to Arts class on Wednesday. It was little but it went a long way.

It's Thursday and after English class Lilac strolls to the front of the class,

"Attention everyone!" She calls to get everyone's attention, "I'm hosting a party Saturday night by 8 pm and I'm handing out invitations." Her girls go out giving pink sparkly invite cards to everyone except me, "There's going to be everything there; food, drinks, and a nice large pool" she squeals the third part.

My attention is more on the tub of homework I had to do; our history teacher is so damn hard. He has no heart.

Daylon walks up to Lilac and hands her back the card, "sorry Lilac I can't make it to your party" he apologizes,

"But why?!" She is almost shattered, she notices a small grin on my lips and becomes suspicious of me,

"I'm actually booked for Saturday night" he rubs the back of his head and glances at me in the corner of his eyes. Lilac notices and becomes jealous.

I raise my head and stretch my arms. I roughen my locks a little giving me this hot, devilish appearance, "hey Daylon can you come over here for a second?" I say like a damsel in distress and like a hero he strides over to me, I whisper in his ear and he chuckles afterward,

"Sure, give me a minute. It should be in my locker" he says and heads out.

Lilac Is a walking volcano about to erupt. She storms over to my seat and slams her hands down, "If you're going out with Daylon Saturday night then drop it!!" She threatens,

"I have a mountain of homework to do and you're in my way" I chide,

"Daylon is mine Eris, mine! Not you or anyone else can take him away from me, got it!"

"I don't know the hell why you're acting like this but right now, you look like an angry rainbow to me" I laugh to myself making fun of her hair color and temper.

Daylon comes back and hands me a notebook,

"Thanks" I smile at him,

"Sure no problem" he sheepishly rubs the back of his head. Lilac Is furious and storms out of class and her candy cotton girls follow her, "what's up with her?" Daylon is clearly confused,

"Period cramps" I snicker and he laughs hard,

"Eris!" He nudges my shoulder and we both laugh.

It's lunchtime and I finish up my history homework, I sigh and pop my knuckles. I walk around to stretch my legs, I'm the only one in class so I play some music and bust some moves.

I hadn't felt this free in a while, as I dance around the class I sing and enjoy the music. I spin and spin and when I stop I feel my head hurt. My vision is suddenly out of the classroom and I see a man and a little girl dancing and singing, they both had Raven hair like mine but had characteristic red eyes.

Eyes as red as blood.

I notice the black wings they possess and my breath hitches,

"Daddy!! Daddy!!" The little dark angel laughs and calls her dad as they dance together, he picks her up and spins her around,

"My little danger," he kisses her cheek, "You dance better than your mother!!" He praises her and a mischievous smile creeps up her lips,

"I'm telling mom!!" She flies away giggling,

"No!!!" He tries to catch her but she's gone, the man sighs and flies after her.

It's almost unreal, am I really seeing this?? I rub my eyes and I feel dizzy, I hold the table for support but ultimately collapse on the floor.

"Eris! Eris!! Wake up please!!" I hear Daylon's voice, my eyes slowly open to meet his eyes but close back almost immediately.
