Lilith....

The word keeps ringing in my head, no matter what I did or thought or said...

Or thought in super thinking mode.

"You okay?" Dana asks "You been,  like really quiet?"

She looks like some sort of sparkle bomb had exploded on her face, with it glittering like some sort of sky, in the not attractive way of course, and her boobs, bigger than I remember.

Probably padded it to make Ty notice her.

Ha! He was always an ass person.

"How was the party?" I ask, faking a smile.

She suddenly brightens up, saying "It was like, real fun, and everyone expected you to be there but, you know, your dad called and said you were sick"

I nod "And you didn't bother to check on me?"

"You know how you get when people 'disturb' you when you sick" She says with a roll of hee eyes "You say that they come and see you when you ugly and you don't like that"

I sigh "I must have been a bitch huh?"

She doesn't reply there.

Of course, before classes starts as we stand infront of our lockers, Tyler runs at me with full speed then picks me up and twirls me around, making me suddenly smile.

With him, I feel... Peace.

No fear...

No need to get scared...

Tyler was there.

He was my beautiful light...

Dropping me down, he places a kiss on my head and says "Smallie"

I look up at him, his hair shining like it had some sort of halo over it with his blue eyes sparkling like diamonds, floating in a blue sea...

God, I want to float in them too.

"Fuck, I want to kiss you right now" He suddenly whispers "But we don't want to turn on half the pervs in this hall, huh?"

Immediately my brain registers the fact that he had said the word 'kiss' I suddenly move back, without meaning too of course and he looks at me weirdly "Lily?"

I look at him, then at Dana who also looks at me weird "I... I'd be at class" And I was off to the class I had that morning.

Luckily and fortunately, for some reason, what ever class I had, did not make me see or talk to Tyler, Dana or the twins.

I was just sitted at the back of the Religious ed class, doodling in my journal, feeling the whole world move along it's orbit, while i stayed in my own world before I heard something that shook my bones to its core.

"Well, we have a new student...."

Oh no...

"He just moved from the city and we all know that it is rare to move students into the senior year, but for some reason, he is extremely smart and the principal could not afford to watch him slip out of her hands, class, meet Kim Yu Jung"

All of a sudden, there's a pit opening in my stomach as I look up and see him infront of the class, his ever perfect smile on his extremely perfect face.

"Hi"

All of a sudden, all the girls literally gawk while the males stare, probably rethinking of the fact of being straight, because of course, why not?

"So Mr Yi Jung" Mrs Darcy says "Where would you like to sit?"

No...

No...

Why did I have to have an empty desk today?!

And who as handsome as that takes a subject as boring as Religjous Ed?!

I was only taking it so I could use it as some sort of escape or break!

And, of course, like he had been expecting me to be sitting there, though I am literally hidden from the rest of the class, he looks directly at me and says "There"

Everyone looks back too, like it's an immediate response while I feel me burn from within, wishing I could rip apart his face and show the world the evil and darkness inside him.

Mrs Darcy however, seems not go mind and says "Of course, you msy take your sit"

He walks... No strides, like he's gliding on air, or probably flying with his possible angel wings though hidden from human eyes as he walked to me.

I can already smell him... The smell of all possible good things, before he reaches me, and when he finally does sit next to me, I feel like I am sitting next to a walked garden of roses "Iana"

"You shouldn't be here" I mutter as Mrs Darcy continues the class.

"If you must know, I am very much interested with religion itself" He says "It has so many... Loopholes"

I don't answer him, biting my lip down so I don't scream he's evil again and make them think I really don't have a screw lost on my head until I see the topic on the wall.

'Lilith'

You have got to be kidding me.

"According to Jewish and Sumerian legends, she is said to be the first woman that was created in the garden after Adam, not made from his rib as Eve was and was his first wife, before Eve. It is said that she believed she was his equal and refused to be submissive to him then flew out of the garden of Eden in spite, Adam noticed her disappearance and of course reported this to God, but when they found her, God did not gain her entrance back to the garden. She is said to be a seductress full of unholy thoughts and ungodliness and was called the ardat lily, or the night monster or night hag..."

"She was pure"

The whole class that never usually were interested in whatever she used to say in previous classes said has been listening with apt interest and by the utterance made by the man next to me, everyone had turned behind to get a good look at him.

His face is in a tight look, just like the one he had today while he was driving as he says "It was Eden, Mam. Everything was pure, everything was lovely, and so was she. So many tales are even strewn from her utter perfection. The fairies, water sprites, the moon goddess.. Yes, even the one about sexual demons. All true, but she was more than what ever insult your books have to say"

He sounds absolutely sure now, and I myself, not really sure that I am surprised about it, so I just stare as Mrs Darcy says "Since you are so knowledgeable about her, why don't you tell us more?"

Of course, she was mocking me but he took the bait, hook line and sinker "She liked the colour green, because she believed it reflected nature and God himself... And it was the eyes of her lover then... Adam. She was what people called fiery, always ready to do what ever was set for her... When God bad chosen her to be Adam's counterpart, He had known that they would be times even Adam would need rest but Lilith would be ready enough to handle whatever need arised and take care of him...." He pauses here and the class is drop silence "Adam had been a fool... He had began to fear her closeness to the angels.... They had always admired them, humans, but they were attracted to Lilith more, he thought.. he was jealous of his Love and could not help himself. A day came and he... He commanded her to be under him while they mated.... She had refused of course , saying that if he had asked nicely, she would have but he was going the whole wrong way about it but Adam...Adam was so dead set on getting his way...

"Hurt and alone, she took off with an angel, probably to cry about her broken heart and Adam, now raving jealous had reported her disappearance to God who all but told Adam to forget Lilith and made another woman and banned Lilith from entering back into the garden.... Adam had tried... He had tried so hard to love Eve and he supposed he did, in his own way, but he did not really love her, that was why he did not tell Eve about the tree of good and evil so she would eat the fruit and make them sin while God sent them out and he could find his Lilith... Oh and of course, there was punishment for Adam's plan. God had erased Lilith's memory completely, making sure that whatever happened, she would never remember Adam so as she would not be hurt by him once more while Adam searched the world for her...."

There was a low cough, or a sigh, I am not sure what but the class was still silent.

Till he suddenly chuckles and puts his polite face back on "But of course it's just a story I heard from one of my trips to some church in Rome, might not be true anyway"

As Mrs Darcy suddenly looks like she had woken up from some sort of trance, she shakes her head and says "Oh well, nice story, now where was I? Did sound quite believing though"

Everyone laughs, and he joins in too.....

But I was the only one that knew he was not joking.
