Chapter 1: Robyn, Meet Kai
"Stop it!" I shouted, putting up my arms to defend myself. "Leave me alone!" Hey, don't get on my case for acting like this. I was only eight and I was getting my butt handed to me by boys nearly twice my size.
I should probably introduce myself before I get too far. My name is Robyn Aidan Smith. Like I said before, I'm eight years old, but I'm very small and scrawny for my age. I was told that I must've been born prematurely because I'm always getting sick. I have short messy dark brown hair with natural light brown streaks that I keep in a ponytail and dark brown eyes. I've got really pale skin too. I was actually born in Bathgate, West Lothian, Scotland. When I was a year old, my mum and dad moved us to Ralston, Renfrewshire, Scotland. But, when I was five, my parents disappeared and, since I had no known relatives, I was brought here. Here being Eastgrove Orphanage & Boarding School in London, England, the worst place a child could be sent to live, in my own opinion.
"What are you going to do to stop us, you little squirt?" one of the boys jeered.
I bit back tears as they hit me again.
"Hey!" My eyes widened as I heard the shout. Looking around I saw a girl about my age, maybe slightly older, I couldn't tell, standing there. She had jet black hair with blonde streaks in it and hazel eyes. She looked mad and was staring directly at my tormentors. "Leave her alone, you prats!"
The boys laughed. "Yeah? And what are you going to do to stop us?"
The girl scowled and the next thing I saw was her beating the crud out of those boys. When she was finished, they ran off. She turned to me and, out of fear, I began backing away, my arms in front of me. What was she going to do to me? Was she going to hurt me for my size too?
"Are you alright?" I looked up to see she had a hand extended to me. I took it and she helped me stand. Once I was up, I backed against the wall, my eyes never leaving the older girl. "It's alright. I'm not like them. I won't hurt you. My names's Kaiden Saxon, but call me Kai." She said. As she inched closer, she held her hands up the way you would to a wounded animal to show you mean no harm; then again, I didn't blame her with the way I was acting around her.
"Robyn Smith." I replied softly.
Kai sighed. "Go get yourself cleaned up. You look absolutely dreadful." She said, pointing to my face.
I put a hand to my lip and noticed the trickle of blood trailing down my chin from a split lip. Nodding, I walked off down the hall. When I got to the nurse's office, Ms. Jones actually didn't look that surprised to see me, then again I actually didn't expect her to look surprised at all. I'd been here nearly every hour every day since I had been brought here. Ms. Jones was a very kind and very pretty woman with long dark hair, chocolate skin and brown eyes. For reasons I couldn't figure out, she was very familiar to me (and not just because I was here often).
"Hullo, Robyn." she said, smiling.
"Hullo, ma'am." I said softly, wiping the blood off my lip.
"Did those nasty boys hurt you again, sweetie?" I nodded and the nurse sighed. "You have to start standing up for yourself, Robyn. Those boys have no right to make fun of you simply because of your size or where you're from."
I shrugged. The nurse had said this every time I had come to see her, but she didn't seem to understand that I had gone to the Headmaster about the older boys, but he had done nothing about their behavior.
Ms. Jones smiled sweetly. "Are you hungry, dear? I bet those boys made you miss lunch didn't they?" As if in response, my stomach growled loudly, to which I blushed a little. The nurse chuckled. "I thought so. Here, I have something you could munch on. Would you like a pear or maybe a nice veggie? Carrot, perhaps?" I frowned, sticking my tongue out in disgust. Pears and carrots were awful.
Ms. Jones chuckled at my expression before putting a cream on my cut lip, followed by a butterfly bandage. She handed me a cheese stick. "There we go. That should help the cut heal up. The bruises should go down in a few days." I nodded.
"Thank you, Ms. Jones." I said as I left, taking a bit out of the cheese stick.
As I walked out, I ran into Kai (not literally, thankfully.). She looked at me. "So, you feeling better, kid?" I jumped slightly, still not sure if she was going to hurt me like those boys had. "Look, I'm not going to hurt you. I was just thinking you might want a little revenge."
"Revenge?" I asked, looking up and raising an eyebrow. "What kind of revenge?"
Kai grinned mischievously. She grabbed my wrist and yanked me down the hallway. As we turned a corner we were startled by the appearance of the Headmaster.
"Oh, Mr. Bo." Kai said, shuddering as we froze. "What a surprise."
"Showing Ms. Smith where her new room is, I'm assuming, Ms. Saxon?"
Kai nodded. "Yes sir…" she said nervously.
"Well, glad to see you getting along with your new roommate. Carry on just don't be late for class. And, try to play nice with this roommate, Kaiden, is that understood?"
"Yes sir." Kai said. Once the Headmaster was gone, we giggled and took off the opposite way he had been. Kai led me onto the roof that looked over a secluded spot beside the gymnasium.
"They always come over here during class with their girlfriends to smoke." Kai explained. I assumed she was talking about the bullies. She held up a hand with three fingers that she began putting down as she muttered, "3… 2… 1…" We turned as the door slammed open and the bullies lumbered out. Kai opened her bag and revealed several oranges roughly the size of softballs. "Ready? And throw!" We darted out from behind the gym and started throwing the oranges at the boys. The leader, the one who had initialized my torture looked at us, glaring. He opened his mouth to say something, but it was lost as yours truly threw an orange that landed in his open jaw.
"You little brats are going to pay for this!" he shouted as the group stumbled inside.
"That's what you get for picking on a defenseless kid!" Kai shouted as the group disappeared through the door. We fell back laughing our heads off. Kai turned to me. "Your name's Robyn, right?" I nodded. "And I already introduced myself, right?" Again, I nodded. "Fantastic." We began laughing again at the misfortune we had caused to the bullies.
"So what now?" I asked when I could finally speak, actually grinning for the first time in a long time.
"Well, the Headmaster mentioned you were my new roommate." Kai answered. "So, I better show you where you'll be staying." She grinned, and I couldn't help but grin back, even though I was still apprehensive about Kai.
"Allon-sy." I said, grinning wider.
I didn't know at the time that this was as simple as our lives were going to be for a while. It was only a matter of time.
