Marks of the Past Chapter 1

I was walking back to the Orphanage, we had about 5 more weeks till the school ended and it would be time for the prom.

I was walking back from the library when I heard somebody shout behind me.

"Hey Garcia where do you think you are going?!"

I froze in place, I knew that voice perfectly well, it was Jett. I slowly turned around, then he was in front of me, he grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and pulled me up until my feet didn't touch the ground anymore.

"I got an F in Spanish class because of your fault! You gave me the wrong answers!" He screamed.

"I… I am ssssorry, I nnn never ment to." I said slowly.

"Well, I am here to make sure of that."

He said and punched me on my face, he let go of my shirt and I fell to the ground.

Then he started kicking me. I knew my nose was bleeding, and I thought he would kill me, until I heard somebody scream.

"Jett! Jett stop it! You are going to kill him!" Then a girl appeared out of nowhere and took Jett away from me.

"What's your problem London? I was just teaching this kid a lesson." He said pushing her.

"My problem is that you can't do this Jett! You could kill him." She replied angrily as she put herself between him and me.

"And that's exactly what I want! Now move!" He said.

"I won't let you!"

"Oh really, and who is exactly going to help you?" Jett replied between laughs.

Then a guy with long light brown hair, and very tall appeared.

"I am." Said the brunette.

"Oh James Diamond, so you are here to help your little sister, I see." Said Jett.

"Jett, you should know better than to mess with my sister." He said, Jett send him a punch, but James avoid it. James took his hand and then twisted it at a weir angle, "Now run." Said James letting go of Jett's hand, and Jett did as he was told.

Then the girl came and knelt next to me (yes I was still on the floor), she took her phone and dialed a number on her phone. She took my hand and then gave it a light squeeze.

"You are going to be ok." She said in a light voice almost a whisper.

Right then I could almost believe the girl was an angel, she had light brown hair that was curly at the ends, her face was beautiful as the night, her hazel eyes, stunning. She was wearing a gray beanie in her hair, jeans, knee high converse, and a white jacket.

Then James came I could see his lips moving saying something, but I was not able to hear since I was dozing off.

When I woke up I was in the hospital, when I looked around I saw Annie (the owner of the orphanage) in one corner when she saw me awake she came towards me.

"Oh Carlos, you are finally awake! How are you feeling?" She said.

"I am fine Annie." I said looking around the room for the girl, and her brother.

"They left a while ago," Annie said like reading my toughs, "They were very nice, those two. They stayed here with you until I came. They said they will see you at school."

"Oh." Was all I said.

A few hours later the doctors said I could go home. Annie took me back to the orphanage and while we were in the car I asked her.

"Did you told them I am an orphan?"

"No, I thought you would of liked it better if they didn't know, I told them I was your aunt."

"Okay, thanks."

When we got back to the orphanage I quickly went to my room, my roommate Tyler, had just been adopted a few days ago, I missed him.

The next morning, I went to school, Jett was there, I avoided him as much as I could.

Then lunch time came, I hadn't seen the girl or her brother all day.

I sat in a table in the farthest corner by myself.

Then as I started taking out some homework from my backpack I saw the girl, next to her there was his brother and two other boys, one blond tall, and another one with black hair. They were laughing and smiling. They all had the food trays on their hands, and looking for somewhere to sit. I hoped they wouldn't see me.

Then the girl turned around, she saw me, she said something to the other three guys and they started walking in my direction. They sat at the table next to mine.

I knew I had to say something, at least thank them for saving me, but I couldn't bring myself to it.

Then the girl came to my table and sat next to me.

"Hey, how are you doing?" She asked. I couldn't avoid thinking how beautiful her voice sounded.

"I am ok."

"I am London Diamond." She said giving me her hand.

"I am Carlos Garcia." I said and shacked her hand. "And thanks, for what you and your brother did yesterday." I said.

"No problem, Jett is a bit stupid. And well we all have had our issues with him at least once." She said pointing at the three guys in the table.

"They all are my friend, they are really nice, would you like to meet them?" She asked, and I nodded.

"Hey guys." She said and they all turned around, she motioned for them to come.

"Guys, this is Carlos, Carlos this is my brother James, and his best friends Kendall, and Logan."

"Hi." I said and they all said hi to me.

We shacked hand, and started talking, we ate lunch together, and had fun. I couldn't recall the last time I had fun.

Then the bell rang, it was time to go to our last period class. Logan, James, and Kendall left, and then London gave me a hug and said, "I'll see you tomorrow at lunch okay?"

"Okay." I said she gave me another hug and left.

I was walking home, this time I was walking by the back of the school, nobody ever passed by over here, then I heard somebody yelling.

"Carlos!" I turned around and saw Jett, Dak, and Wayne Wayne, all standing behind me.

"Better run Garcia." Said Dak.

"Aren't you going to save your girlfriend." Said Wayne Wayne.

What was he talking about? I turned around and saw that the three of them had London.

"London!" I screamed.

"Run!" She said, and I left running. I had to find James, Logan, and Kendall and FAST!

London's POV

"Run!" I yelled at Carlos, and he ran.

Wayne Wayne, Dak, and Jett started laughing.

The pinned me to the wall, "Now let's have some fun." Said Jett with a mischievous smile on his face.
