(House Of Wolves My Chemical Romance)
"Hey Nic!" My brother whispers, and I smile while he wiggles his eyebrows.
"Hey Tiv." I whisper back. I take a seat next to him and stick out my tongue to the popular girl, Kristy, who we call Krusty. Mr. Locknar starts his lesson and Motive and I pass notes.
"Mister and Misses Gin, would you like to read those notes to the class?" We stand at the same time and I start.
"Mr. Locknar is smelly." We take turns
"Mr. Locknar is rank." .
"Mr. Locknar is dating Kelly."
"Mr. Locknar needs a good spank."
"Kristy is Krusty."
"Guy is High."
"Misty is Musty."
"Huy is Shy."
"That is enough! Deten-" He is interupted by the intercom.
"Will you send Tonic and Motive Gin to the office please?" Comes Ellena Freiner's voice. We grab out stuff, and side by side, leave smirking.
"Goodbye." We say at the same time. Mrs. Freiner waits for us with 2 students. We raise our eyebrows.
"This is Julliet and Alexander. Tonic you have Xander and Motive you have Julliet." Mrs. Freiner hands us their schedules. I close my eyes a second and open them to find Julliet in front of me.
"Wrong person." I mutter and point to Motive. "You are his for now." Motive and I sigh deeply and I start walking towards Gym, only to pause.
"Bye." I call just as Motive does. We smile and he walks towards the Library. I look at the floor, "We'll start with gym and circle back around." I mumble. I flip my bangs and begin walking again. Alexander follows, silently I hope.
"So your name is Tonic? What's your full name?" He asks.
"Tonic Ann Gin. My brother is Motive Ann Gin." I mumble, as I usually do. He speeds up alittle so he is now at my side. I glance at him from the corner of my eye. He has electric blue hair and eyes that match. His lips are perfect with snakebites and he has high cheek bones. I pull out my phone and check the time.
"Late for something?" He says with a laugh.
"No, but I'm about to be." I groan.
"For what?"
"I am a ribbon climber, while my brother is a ribbon dancer. The local theatre holds shows and when they need a dare-devil they call me. In the current show I am climbing a 20 foot ribbon hanging from the ceiling and I have to swing about the crowds. My brother is mad because I won't be using safety crap. If I fall, I might die." He looks at me incredelous.
"Why would you do that? Aren't you scared?" I shake my head and pop the 'p' on my nope.
I point as we walk to different parts of the highschool. I lead him back to class, "And this is our first period biology. His name is Mr. Locknar. A total douche bag." I open the door and Alexander follows me in. I walk to my seat in the back as he stands in the front. Motive and Julliet walk in, both looking pissed as hell.
'Vampires. Pfft arogant and stupid.' Comes Motive's voice in my head. I sigh and lay my head down.
"Xander Eternity, have a seat behind Tonic, and Julliet Mands, you have one behind Dezmond." I peek at them as they take their seats. Alexander looks into my sunglasses, trying to see behind them.
"Stupid cats." Julliet growls at us.
"Leeches!" I hiss back. Alexander rolls his eyes. Dezmond, a vampire, sighs and then smiles at me and Motive. Motive checks is watch and hisses in frustration. We stand and push our way out of class. We have a show to get too.
At the Dedmark Theatre
"Nic! Hurry change and take your place! Tiv, same goes for you!" Jay yells, backstage manager. I run to my dressing-room and change into a black v-neck, leather shorts, and on my feet I have on silver ankle bracelets. I climb the rope that leads up to a beam, which in turn leads to my ribbon. I grab on, wrap my leg around in, and slide to the middle. I smile as people in the crowd gasp. I twist the ribbon around my body and begin spinning, soon I start to swing above the crowd. I hear laughter from a few children. I keep my leg wrapped as my body tilts up, as if I'm standing, and begin to drop more. Excitement is buzzing in the air, when suddenly rose petals begin to fall, and the show starts.
I keep on swinging and twisting, and things among that nature through-out the show. Jay smiles as I climb up, the show over. I jump from the rafters and land gracefully on my feet. Motive comes up and hugs me. I check my phone and realize, if we hurry, we can make it to lunch. I grab my converse, not worrying about my shorts and shirt. Motive runs to his car, and I, my motorcycle.
School
Alexander stands waiting at the lunchroom door. I hide my fisted hands behind my back, one still holding my converse. He smiles at me as I walk up. I don't smile back. "So how was the show?" He asks, and I groan.
"Why are you even talking to me, leech? Don't you have someone better to mess with?" He growls and I hiss in return.
"I am trying to be friendly, putty-tat." He purrs. I throw my hands up in frustration and then my converse are in his hands. He smiles, waiting for a challenge.
"I. Don't. Want. You. To. Be. Friendly." I speak through my teeth. I reach for my converse, but he is about a foot and 2 inches taller then me. I leap and my fingers brush them. "Dammit!" I slam my fist onto the closest lunch table, causing a couple freshman to flinch. Alexander laughs and shakes them above my head. I kick his feet out from under him and snatch my converse back.
"Oh, is the putty-tat mad?" He taunts and stands up. I rear back to punch him, but another leeches hand stops me. Julliet.
"Don't hit him." She seethes. I smirk.
"Oh, poor leech can't handle himself?" She smacks me and I punch her. Motive drags me from them and I play dead-body and make him literally drag me. I hiss and start fighting against Motive. My converse hit the floor as I break away. I feel my hands heat up and the area around me grow hot. Motive slams my body to the ground. His icey hands hold my wrist and he sits on my back. I hiss in frustration and slump. He slowly climbs off and Julliet looks triumphant.
"I told you she was unstable. Stupid cat." I let Motive lead me away. Alexander scoops up my converse and I sigh in defeat.
"Leeches!" I scream. Alexander shakes his head with a smirk. Motive leads me to a bench outside.
"What was that?" He asked heatedly.
"Nothing." I mumble.
"You lost control. You almost played with fire in there!" He forces me to look at him. "Don't let them get to you."
"You act like I can magically control my 'firery' temper!" I hiss. "It's not easy! Dammit, Motive, I can't."
I watch as his face falls and he drops to the ground. He stares at the sky with his ice blue cat eyes. My eyes constantly burn like fire, the way it wavers, the way it changes color depending on the heat, and the way it spreads destruction. I begin to play with his blonde hair and he smiles at me. He begins to twirl a piece of my ash black hair. My emo bangs slip under my glasses and I push it away.
"Would you like your converse back, Kitty-cat?" Alexander calls. I sigh and stand.
"Nope. I want you to keep them." I reply sarcasticly. He laughs and dangles them above my head. I sigh and look up at them.
"How about a trade? You take off your sunglasses and I'll give you back your converse."
Alexander POV
I watch as she contemplates my trade. She sighs and slips the sunglasses off. I sigh dramatically as her bangs cover her eyes. "This was the deal, you never said anything about the bangs." She points out smirking.
"Xander!" Julliet yells. I turn to look at her before dropping the converse.
"Whatever." I say and push past her. I feel her emotions, and I just hurt her. Then comes the fact she truly doesn't care. She doesn't have to convince herself that, she just knows. I walk to my next class that Tonic showed me, finding her and Motive already there. Her and Motive ignore me. I take a seat besides her and Julliet walks in seething. She stomps over to me and smacks me. I growl and she flinches realizing her mistake. She bows and begs forgiveness. I hear Tonic start giggling, a sound I could never imagion coming from her rose lips.
"I'm so sorry Prince. Please forgive me!" She says in a fake girly voice and her and Motive start laughing uncontrolably. Julliet pulls Tonics head back, and whispers in her ear. "Watch your back, cat. I'll be stabbing it soon."
"I'll kill you with pride, leech." Tonic replies. I put in my headphones, ignoring all the random thoughts that assault my mind. I hate being a mind-reader sometimes. Motive writes down something quickly and passes it to me.
Leave my sister alone. And keep your little Julliet away, Romeo. I have enough trouble as it is with Nic. I don't need you adding to it.
I watch as Tonic slowly dozes off. Motive plays with a piece of that fell from her bun. I lean my head on the desk and focus my attention on the music blaring from my headphones. Julliet flinches everytime a new song comes on. I smile as 'Chemical Kids and Mechanical Brides' by Pierce the Veil comes on.
"Xander?" Mrs. Hoffman calls. I pull out a headphone and look at her. "I'm going to have to ask you to turn of the music or I will be forced to take your phone." Tonic smiles and I watch as she silently puts in her headphones. I hadn't even noticed her wake up. Mrs. Hoffman doesn't notice Tonic, and she continues to stare at me. I press pause and she nods content.
