Chapter 1:
Ebony's P.O.V
Here I am another day at this hell of a school. Willow Academy, home to troubled youths and the mentally insane. Home, sweet, home. Right about now your probably wondering who i am. Well, I'm the mentally insane portion of the school, A.K.A, Ebony Raven.
Im currently pretending to be listening to the "popular" girls of Willow Academy talk about clothes, shoes, and boys. My personal Hell. Midway of them talking i see my boyfriend, Nico, walking toward us. He has short, black, hair that goes over one eye, black clothes, and has very pale skin. While i also have long, black, layered hair with dark blue and purple highlights that go to the bottom of my back, black clothes, and i also have really pale skin. We both have dark brown, almost black, eyes but mine have flecks of different colors that is almost unnoticeable.
"Save me!" I mouthed. He laughed silently and shook his head no.
"Please!?" I silently begged him giving him my best puppy dog eyes. He rolled his eyes falling for my puppy dog eyes and mouthed back "Ok."
"What are ya'll doing?" He asked walking up to the table we were at.
"Nothing!" Yelled Lily. She was one of the MANY girls that have a crush on almost every boy. It's pretty annoying but she's a sweet girls when you get to know her. She and Ella were the most tolerable of the 'Girls Squad'.
"Well, i have to take Ebony away for a little while." He said.
"Ahhh, but we want to talk to her!" Sarah pouted. She was the leader of the 'Girl Squad'. It consisted of Sarah, Lily, Ella, Taylor, Adriana, and Rebecca. Sarah was the, beyond help, girly one, Lily was the sweet one, Ella the quite one, Taylor was the rich one, Adriana was the loud one, and Rebecca, the gossiper.
"Well," Said Nico, " You can talk all you want to her later. Im sure she'll miss not being able to talk to you right now." He fished with a smirk on his face.
"Note to self, kill Nico later." I thought to myself angrily
"Well, okay." Mumbled Ella.
Nico helped me up from the table i was sitting at in the game room. When i was up, i dragged Nico out the door and to our dorm room. I locked the door and gave Nico a murderous glare. Lets just say that looks could kill, he would have died already.
"You just set yourself up for a lot of pain." I said murderously while he seemed to be interested in anything but me.
"I know" He mumbled quietly " but at least i got you out of there…"
"But," I said angrily " You made it even more torture for later!"
"Oops?" He said hesitantly. I just glared and while walking towards him. He slowly backed away from me and towards the window.
"Oh, no you don't!" I yelled at him. He took off running to the window as fast as his feet could carry him. Unfortunately for him, I can run faster. I tackled him to the ground then punched him in the gut. His breath left him in seconds, temporarily paralyzing him before he flipped us over and pinned my arms to the floor.
" Im not letting you go until you calm down." Nico stated calmly. I continued to squirm before i came up with an idea.
"Okay…" I said pouting. He looked at me with suspicion before he reluctantly let me go. He looked at me with caution as i got up and started to brush invisible dirt from my pants.
I glanced up at him. "What?" I asked innocently.
"Nothing… I was expecting you to not give up without-" I cut him off by smacking him.
"Of course I wouldn't give up without a fight."I said rolling my eyes.
"Hmm" He grumbled to himself. I thought i heard him say to himself that he is stupid.
"come on, we need to get out of here before someone comes in here after all the banging noises we probably made. We don't want to get the wrong idea!" I said trying not to start laughing.
"Okay, wanna go to the main room and find your Dad?" He suggested. My Dad lives here also because the owner of the school is his girlfriend. Her name is Victoria. I hate her. She only wants him for his money and she thinks I'm in the way. She offered for me to go to this schools that I would be out of the way. Well, he came up with this 'Oh So Great' idea of him coming to the school with me to keep an on me. She argued that it was against the rules but he said that since he she is the owner of the school she could twist the rules for him. She gave up after 30 minutes of arguing and agreed.
" Fine by me." I said before screaming "Race ya!"
I took off before he could comprehend what i said.
"No fair!" He yelled before running after me dodging people.
I screamed back at him laughing " Your right, there is no Fair around here!"
I ran around a corner laughing until I hit a brick wall but it came pretty close to one.
" Why are you running Ebony?" Dad asked helping me up from the ground.
" I am going to make you pay for that Ebony!" Nico exclaimed running around the corner not even out of breath.
"Thats why." I said grinning, out breath, before running behind him and using him as a human shield.
" I should have known it was Nico you were running from." Dad said grinning and pushing me towards Nico.
"Why were you chasing each other?" Dad asked.
"We were racing to the main room to find you." I said trying to get back behind Dad.
" And Ebony cheated!" Nico yelled sticking his tongue out at me.
"Immature!" I yelled back at him.
" Finger on lips!" Dad yelled at us. I ran over to Nico and got behind him this time. Since he is taller and more built i could easily disappear behind him.
"Sorry." Nico and I mumbled looking down.
" Thank you." He said calmly, " Now why were y'all looking for me?"
" We were bored and I didn't want to go back to endless hours of torture from the 'Girls Squad'." I said with a pained expression. Both of them laughed at my expression while rolling their eyes.
" Come on, they can't be that bad?'' Said Dad.
' Well, actually they are worse. I heard then talking before and i can't see how Ebony can go fifteen minutes much less as long as she has to go." Nico said, for once, seriously.
"Lets go up to the loft and hang out." I said, changing the subject. The loft is the top floor of the Academy where can just hang out on the couches and bean bag chairs. Its pretty big and people are usually up there but since its Sunday everybody is trying to catch up on their weekend homework that they haven't finished yet. Good thing I made Nico finish his homework with me on Friday or he would have had to do it today. Dad nodded while Nico said,
" Okay but Im going to go get me something to eat and drink from the Cafeteria."
" Go ahead, we'll wait for you at the Loft. And get me a Dr. Pepper while your there." I said.
" Me too." Dad said before we headed up the stairs to the Loft.
" Did you remember to take your medicine?" Dad asked quietly. I have to take medicine to keep me from seeing blade…I still see him though, but I lie and say I don't see him to keep from being put in a Mental Hospital. I also have ADHD and Dyslexia.
"No…" I mumbled quietly.
He sighed, "Here." Dad handed me me my emergency bottle that he always seems to have on him.
" Do you still see Blade?" He asked as we went a couple more flights of stairs.
"Maybe." Is all I ever say when he asks me that question.
" Come on, you have to give me a straight answer or it won't get any better! You've seen him since I've adopted you, maybe even longer!" He stated/ yelled. Oh yeah… I forgot to tell you…he's not my real Dad. I was was adopted by him when i was 11 years old and Im currently 16. I've been at this school for a little over 2 years. I've known Nico for 2 years and started dating him after 1 year. I meet him a month after i came to this school and we quickly became best friends.
" I can't help it that i can see him! I can't help that strange things always happen to me!" I yelled back at him, stopping on the stairs, with small tears in my eyes. Good thing nobody was nearby.
He sighed, " Im sorry i yelled but you have to tell me these things. How long have you seen Blade?" He asked.
" I've seen him for as long as i can remember. " I mumbled, barely audible. He seemed to have heard.
"Okay, and i know its not you fault strange things happen to you." He said quietly.
We continued to walk up the stair in silence once I've dried swallowed my medicine.
Dad and I was sitting on a couch in the Loft when a girl and a boy with crutches started walking towards us. The girl had dirty blonde hair that was curly and gray eyes. She was wearing a orange shirt that said something on it that i didn't bother to read knowing that i wouldn't be able to read it. She was also wearing Nikes. The boy was African American with hair cut close to his head and brown eyes. He was also wearing a orange shirt and a denim jacket with black and white Converse.
"Hello." Said the girl while the boy smiled and nodded friendly in our direction.
"Umm…hello?" I asked, clueless as to what to do. Hey! In my defense, Im not a social butterfly. Never have and never will be one!
The boy laughed while the girls just shook her head grinning.
"My name is Annabeth and this is Grover. "Annabeth said while nodding in Grovers direction once he finished laughing.
" Helle, this is Ebony Raven and my name is Jackson but you can call me Jack. Im Ebony's father." He said smiling warmly at them.
" Nice to meet you." They said at once, almost like they rehearsed it.
"hey guys! Are you up here? If not I'm making fun of you later because i beat you up here and you had at least a 15 minute start!" Nico yelled coming up the stairs balancing a tray and three drinks.
I heard Grover and Annabeth gasp she he came up the last couple of steps into the room. I saw Nico look up and he looked so shocked that he almost dropped the food and drinks and fell down the stairs but he fortunately regained his balance and composer.
"What are you doing here Nico?" Asked Grover seemingly startled to see Nico.
"Nothing, Im just a student at this school." He says quickly before fast walking towards Dad and me. He gave Dad and me our drinks and then handed me a large order of fries. I looked at him with a questionable stare.
" I knew that if i didn't get you any fries you would eat all of mine before i can even blink much less grab one." He stated looking at me with a smirk that i was itching so badly to wipe off of his face.
"Oh,okay." Annabeth said quickly still looking suspicious of Nico for some odd reason.
" Wait, how do you know Nico?" I wondered aloud. Grover, Annabeth and Nico glanced at each other before grover and Nico settled their stares on Annabeth who froze.
" We, umm, use to go to camp together?" She asked instead of said.
" Hmm…" I mumbled quietly. I looked at them suspiciously before starting to eat my fries. It was dead silent until Nico said,
" Did you know that every time there is a awkward silence a gay any is born?" We all laughed at his fatal attempt to break the ice. After awhile of laughing we soon grew quiet again.
" Well, i hate to say this but I've got to go." Dad said looking at his watch.
" Okay. Im going to go take a nap before dinner." I said.
" Sleep well, Im going to catch up with Annabeth and Grover." Nico said kissing my forehead.
"Bye Grover and Annabeth." I mumbled tiredly to them.
"Bye." Both of them said.
I walked slowly down the stairs to Nico and my's dorm room. your probably wondering how the staff at the school would let me have a room with a boy. Well, you get to choose who you roommate is and Nico was the only person didn't give me a panic attack in the middle of the night while sharing a room.
I slowly dozed to sleep wondering why Nico, Grover, and Annabeth were acting so weird when they found out that each other where going to this school.
