His popularity spread faster than fire.
'Did you hear about the new boy? He's like super smart!'
'A nerd and a model? I thought I'd never see the day'
'He even looks like an angel!'
And angel of death, yes I agree.
I am sitted at the cafeteria, on the popularity table with Tyler at my side, the twins there too with Dana picking at her food, shockingly not saying anything, though the twins are badgering me for information.
"Is it the that his eyes are as green as spirogyra?" Chaos asks, ever the crazy one.
No really, this one should be locked up with the key eaten "I don't think that's a nice thing to say about a human being love"
"And his hair... Oh mi God" Fire says, swooning over to Chaos who disgustingly pushes her away "Looked like spurn threads of the finest silk made specifically from rain fall, how can I not hit that?"
I don't answer, just poke at my spaghetti with a fork and turn to Tyler who is cutting his pie "Babe?"
"Hmmm?" He says, not looking up at me, all his focus at the big slice he was cutting
"You okay?" I ask "Cause your like, really quiet"
"Oh" He says and looks up at me, his mouth moving as he tries to chew the piece he had shoved in his mouth quickly "I'm...." Swallow "Sorry about that, I just... Well usually I talk to Dana but obviously Dana's not in a good mood right now and we... Well we barely have anything to talk about"
I tilt my head "Of course we do, you haven't even told me about how the party went"
He shrugs, going back to his pie "Was boring"
My heart breaks just at those simple words.
Not even entirely sure that I had just suddenly expected him to go all out and honest with me right there and then, buy it hurt either way...
I go back to my food, rolling some spaghetti in my fork and was about to put it in my head before I hear the whispers.
'He's here! Is he... SHINING?!'
'Oh shit, he looks like an angel that fell without any heavy impact'
Once again, I agree to the angels part, as I strongly believe he's the angel of death.
Already deciding I was going to ignore him, what ever stunt he pulled, I begin to eat my food, eating happily till I saw a tray and heard a favmiliar british voice say "Butterfly"
Immediately, I'm choking and sputtering like crazy. Tyler rubs my back and hands me a glass of water which as I drink, notice the daggers that he is sending to him.
"Are you okay?" Ty asks, his voice ever bringing peace and control to ever chaotic world makes me sigh and lean more into hus bist.
"Perfect" I say.
There's now a low growl, emitting from him but it's gone the next second a he smiles at the twins and a Dana who is staring at him like God had dropped from the sky "Hello"
The twins immediately begin saying random things I don't understand to him and Dana has her usual sickenly too sweet face on that could cause real diarrhea to someone at him till I say "You don't belong here"
The charger stops as they all have me.
He gives me a look
A 'not now' look, but I really do not care as I say "This is the table for the popular kids"
"Considering the way everyone's staring at me" He taunts "I would like to think that im already popular"
"I, the Queen, thinks otherwise" I say.
Yes, I was being hostile but for some reason, I did not want him around them...
I did not think it was safe.
"Jealous, are we?" He says with a smirk "There is no need for that, you are my behaviour, we shall see everyday"
"Jealous?" I blurt "Don't be ridiculous"
"You just have issues with sharing" Dana says "Always been a bad thing about you"
"What can I say? I like my things as my things" I say then then to him "And I am absolutely not jealous, but I don't want you around my friends"
"Why not?"
"Because...."
This was where my brain realised I was calling into his trap.
He wanted me to say something that would surely make them question my sanity, just as Pops did, and though I had fallen face flat into the guest one, I would not fall into this one.
"Well you rich city kids with your Father's money, comes up, all dressed and smelling like something shoved ho the ass of a rainbow, using that 50 dollar smile to make everyone get charmed by you. You real smart aren't you? Because you know you have a beautiful face which gives way to the world and you have that, but there are certain people that can not be bought over by material things" Then I added for dramatic flair "Not even a goddamn phone worth my houses rent for a year and a lambourghini could make me get interested"
Just like the same cold that filled the room that time I had said something he did not like but shockingly no one looks like they noticed and once again, he is laughing...
Laughing with that infections laugh of his that gets everyone on the table laughing too, except me of course.
When he stops he says with an obvious Smile on his face "I must have to step up my game then, but I suppose I would do that later, I am truly filled to the brim"
I look down and gasp, noticing that his tray that had been filled with food, ceremoniously empty, and I begin to wonder how he had gotten them as he stands up and says "Mr Walker says I have to drop you home myself, so I would be waiting when school's over, aurevoir..." Then he turns to the other girls "Mon Beaus , till whenever Dios seems it necessary we meet and part no more"
Why did that sound like a thread?
Like a hidden message?
Yet the twins are smiling and blushing with Dana asking for his number though he shockingly acts like he did not hear her and walked away front table.
"Okay what was that?" Tyler asks, suddenly finding his tongue "Trying to impress you? Is he... Is he hitting on you or something?"
"I don't know" I say and really, I do not, I am not even sure what he wants from me exactly.
"Can I have this one?" Dana asks.
"You have a boyfriend girl" I say with a snap "Control yourself"
"You're just worried that he might find me attractive and not you" She taunts
I laugh "Baby, with all those extensions on you, I doubt he'd even have the patience to get em all of and find the so called 'attractive' on you"
Dana opens her mouth, like she's about to say something that she knew would hurt me, big she doesn't and says with a sigh "I will go after him"
"Do it" I sat and curl more into Tylers chest "As long as your hands off my baby, it's fine"
Yet, how did I know that them around him was not safe in anyway?
