"Demyx! Have you thought about what I said?" My tutor squarked at me. His name was Mr. Shot, but he preferred to be called by his first name: Xigbar.
"No, they'll laugh at me." I replied, shuffling back on my chair in order to get away from the greying man's foul breath.
"As if! Demyx, you're a good guitar player and an excellent singer! Why would they laugh?" Xigbar smiled,gesticulating wildly.
I lowered my gaze, twiddling my thumbs as I murmured, "Because I'm me.."
Xigbar watched the long parts of my dirty blonde hair fall over my eyes, and shrugged, "Suit yourself, Dem."
I watched Xigbar return to his desk, my eyes scanning the room. Axel and his group were laughing in the corner- laughing at me, no doubt. I quickly looked away before I accidentally caught the eye of Axel. Axel was an asshole, who picked on me all the time. I hadn't even done anything to him- ever! It was like I was a magnet for trouble from him.. He had just started to bully me, for no reason at all. I doubt he could even explain why he did it, himself.
I let my forhead drop forewards onto the table, sighing slightly. A hand pressed against my back caused my head to snap up.
"There's no need to be scared, darling." I closed my eyes tightly- I knew that voice. The owner of the smooth voice took a seat next to me, and wrapped his arm around my waist. His breath was heavy and warm against my neck as he leaned closer to me.
"W-What do you want, Axel?" I stuttered, shivering as his breathing moved upwards to tickle my ear.
"Aww, Demmykins. I thought you loved me?" Axel whispered, his red spikes of hair brushing against my cheek and neck.
"No, I don't." My voice was a barely audible whisper, shakey and faint.
"Oh really? Well, I can change that small fact, can't I?" The spikey-haired teen smirked before touching his tounge to my neck and dragging it up across my face in a sloppy lick.
I shuddered before weakly trying to push him off of me. I glared at Xibar who was doing work and marking crap. I just wanted him to look up and scare Axel away. He didn't. I had to do something.
strike I brought back my fist and slammed it into Axel's chin, there and then. There was enough strength behind it to send Axel flying across the table and off the other side. I picked up my guitar and gave the whole class a single-handed salute before heading out of the room, never to see those assholes again./strike Okay okay, I lie!
Like I would ever have the nerve to do such a thing.
The bell rang for first lesson- saved by the bell, thank fuck! Axel moved pulled back and whispered into my ear, "We'll continue this later." He promised.
I closed my eyes tight until he had departed. When I heard him laughing with his friends, I opened my eyes and grabbed my guitar. I had maths now. Why could I just tell today was gonna be bad?
-
As the bell rang for lunch, I couldn't help but sigh in relief. I got up, picked up my stuff and headed for the music block. Swerving round the corner, I came to an abrupt stop. Axel was waiting for me, there.
I stepped back behind the corner, discreetly disappearing. Where else could I go? The canteen? No.. It smelt like a slaughterhouse in there. The gym? Ugh, sweaty socks- maybe not.. The library! Axel had gotten himself banned from there, when he slipped porn into science books.
I turned on my heel and marched into the library, only to find it almost completely empty. I sighed in relief, as I made my way into the music section- only to bump into someone who would change my life forever.
