The
Nightmare King
Chapter 1
Him
My story goes back to when I met Pitch. My name is Mary, I am 18 years old and I am currently living at the North Pole. But with my roommate Linda. Everyone has a roommate here at the Guardians Academy. Being at the pole with three thousand future guardians is a mess. Each person wants to be a fairy, be like North, winter spirit, sandman or any guardian they wish to be. Some made up their own type. Everyone here is high school aged kids. Pitch is well… two years older than me. Before there was a nightmare king. There was the schools hottest boy ever. Well to me. But! I am certain that all of the girls like him. He was also an odd one out of the bunch. His skin was gray and he always wore this long black cloak. His hair was in some crazy streaks. But his voice is so calm every girl could listen to him talk all day. My class is math the exact same time I go when Pitch goes. Pitch is a straight 'A' student here at the Academy. He always help me and stuff.
"Hey Mary." Linda came up behind me and surprised me.
"What class do you have?" I looked at her with a smile. I was hoping she didn't have the same math class as me and Pitch.
"Gravity jumbo mess. I don't know. I just have a science class." She was confused and all over the place. I was walking to class, by passing the yetis then turned right to enter the class room. Pitch was sitting in my seat but I did not mind it. About time I got a chance to pick the seat next to him. When I enter he was not giving me a gaze. I went to sit next to him. He finally looked up and smirked. "May I sit here?" I asked.
"Sure. You can." He moved his stuff off the chair and put it down on the floor. He then push the chair with his right hand for me to sit on it. I smiled at him and sighed while I was getting my stuff. His kindness was something so unexpected. Pitch is very seductive and is always talking about the scariest things, he is so interesting which makes him unique. I really enjoy being next to him. Don't get me wrong he is intimidating. He once scared a kid once who was using the bathroom. He made the lights turn off and on, then the boy ran out with his pants around his ankle. One of the guardians caught him and reported him to North's office.
By the way Pitch is about to be kicked out of the school just for messing around with a lot of people. He even scared a group of preschoolers. But I would still try to flirt with him. A guardian came in and stopped all of us chit chatting. Our teacher is so beautiful, she was so colorful too. Her feathers were long and colored green, streaks of blue and bright yellows. She talks really fast to the point we all tried to stop her. Her voice is really high pitched, but she's like a humming bird can't keep still for nothing. She moves from left to right and stays in one area for a second then moves on to the next. Her name is Toothina. But we all name her Queen Tooth. Don't get me wrong she is strict. Pitch is the hard headed one in the class room. Like I mentioned he does scare people. Not to mention during our exams he scared the teacher with a balloon pop. Tooth wrote on the board for everyone to pair up together. "Want to pair up?" Pitch asked.
"Um…I'm sorry I was checking my phone. What was it?" I looked up at the board in surprise. I swallowed as I was about to answer.
"Yes!" I couldn't help but call out. In class we partner up to play jeopardy. As minutes pass the bell rang. We packed up our things and I tried to say something but my nervousness was holding me back like a heavy weight. "I guess I will see you in the evening." Gosh what the hell was I even saying?
"See me maybe later on is what I think you were going to say. Right?" Pitch said it in his calm voice. My gut feeling tells me that he likes me. The seductive smirk tells it all. In the main time I am focusing on leaving that awkward class room moment.
