A.N- Ok this is my first King arthur fanfiction and I wan you guys feedback about. Don't be afraid to tell me you don't like it. Just tell me what you think no matter how mean you may sound. I'm not sure who I want her to end up with, so give me your suggestions on who Kayley should end up with. Thanks for reading and be sure to review :)
I twirled my pencil around with my fingers in a failing attempt to entertain myself. Like the rest of my class, I was slowly succumbing to ultimate boredom, as our world history teacher droned on and on about the legend of King Arthur and his knights. I personally think its a bunch of bull. I mean really? They are just a fantasy that some person made up to make the world seem like a better place. Which we all know the world is a fucked up place and no imaginary story could ever change that.
"Kayley, can you please tell me why King Arthur wanted to use a round table?" My teacher, asked me. is a middle aged man with a retreating hair line and beer gut. I looked up at him from my in the back seat. I sat there and contemplated my answer as my classmates looked back at me.
"Because whoever came up with this shit was full of it." I said coldly, my face emotionless. Not my best comeback but a comeback never the less. The class did the whole "Did she really just say that?" thing they do. 's face turned red. I had to bite back a giggle. He looked really funny.
"I guess I'll be seeing you after class again." He said. This is not my first time acting out in class and it is certainly not my last. I just shrugged my shoulders undeterred. I didn't really care. I spent the rest of the period ignoring him. The bell finally rung, for us to go to my favorite period. Lunch. I love lunch.I get to see my best friend in the whole wide world. I got my things and made a run for the door, but alas my attempts were futile.
"Where do you think your going Miss Byrne?" asked. I stopped right at the door. I moved out of the way to let everyone else by. Everyone was out of the class room.
"Come stand in front of my desk please." He said. I hesitantly turned around and headed to his desk. I stood in front of his desk.
"I'm worried about you. You never pay attention in class, and you never take these things seriously. I know you know that this class is needed to graduate. Your seven-teen years old and a senior for gods sake you should be worried about grades rather than what your classmates think." He said a very serious look on his face.
"I know. I am passing. I'm making good on your test's, so I don't see the problem." I replied with no emotion.
"I make the final decision on whether you pass this class or not. It doesn't matter how many of my test's you pass, at the end of the day you can still fail." He said getting this almost evil glint in his eye. God I hate him.
"Is that a threat? I don't think the school board would think very highly of that. They might even, oh I don't know, fire you?" I said. If he thought he could hand out a threat and get away with it, he was badly mistaken.
"There is no need for that. I'm in no way threatening you. I just want you to be more interested in my class. I bet thats what it is isn't it!" He said getting all excited, like he had just solved a very hard riddle. "You think my class is boring, don't you?" He asked.
"I suppose you could say that." I said sarcastically
"Well I think I've got just the thing for you. I have something that will get you interested in History. Especially interested in King Arthur and his knights. If your up for it, of course." He said challenging me. I never back down from a challenge specially from the likes of him.
"Of course I am, but I think your time will be wasted." I said. He got this look on his face. It was weird.
"No my dear it won't, because time is the one thing we have." He said. I was confused. "Just come here after school, and I'll have a surprise for you. I think it will really help you with this class." He said. I nodded.
"Yeah sure. I'll come, now can I go?" I said impatiently.
"Yes, but remember if you don't come I will be calling your parents." He told me, as I started to edge my way to the door. When he was done I practically ran out of the room. I walked as fast as I could to my locker. I slowed when I saw my best friend, Millie, standing there. Her pregnancy starting to show. Millie had dark auburn hair, and forest green eyes. Her skin was beautiful, all of the boys thought so. She was about 5'5 and until now she was skinny. She had a flawless complexion,and a perfect sized nose and mouth.
She let one boy get inside of her, and now she was 4 and a half months pregnant. The child's father had hit the road as soon as he found out. The bastard. I should have tracked him down and killed him. Today, she was wearing a pair of sweat pants on with our school's team on it. The words Richmond Raiders up the side of pant leg, green and yellow, our school colors. She wore her Senior shirt, with her Richmond hoodie. Her long hair was in two braids, that came down in front of her shoulders. Even in that outfit and not to mention being pregnant, she was still the prettiest girl in the school. I always felt unattractive next to her.
I'm the same height as Millie. I wasn't as skinny as a stick like she was. I have curves in all of the right places. I have dark brown hair that comes down to just below my shoulders. I have dark blue eyes, not to dark, but not to light. I have sun kissed skin. I'm tan but no where near as tan as the girls on the t.v show "The Jersey shore". They just over do it. I use to have really bad acne, but I now have a completely clear complexion. I guess I'm pretty. To bad none of the boys seem to notice.
Today I'm wearing dark denim american eagle skinny jeans. I'm wearing a baby blue t-shirt, that says "I luv Shane Dawson" in yellow letters from Hot topic. I'm also wearing my zip up Edward scissor hand hoodie from hot topic. It had Edward's face and one of his hand's on it, and had the words "Living in the Shadows" in white lettering and I'm wearing my night mare before christmas belt. If you haven't noticed I love hot topic and Tim Burton.
I had straighten my side swept bangs, and left the rest of my hair semi curly/wavy. I have a blood red bow clipped to the side of my head, the side with my bangs. I'm wearing my red converses. My earrings look like paper clips and I'm wearing my mother's crucifix. I'm not a very religious person, I just thought it looked cool.
If you haven't figured it out, me and Millie are opposites, when it comes to fashion and many other things. For example,Millie is a total Jesus freak. She drags me to church every sunday and takes me to youth group, but I still don't get it. Oh well. I've know Millie for practically my whole life. She's my best friend, you couldn't ask for a better friend.
"Hey Kayley!" Millie greeted me. I smiled, she brightened up my day no matter what. I reached my locker and opened it.
"Hey Mills, sorry I'm late but made me stay after class again." I apologized, as I put up my things.
"I heard. So what did you do this time?" She asked.
"Oh nothing, cept tell him that King Arthur is bullshit." I said sarcastically. She smiled at me and I closed my locker. We began to make our way to our picnic table under an old oak tree. It had been our spot since our first day as freshman's.
"Why am I not surprised?" She said giggling. I smiled at her.
"Well that just tells you that you know me too damn well." I joked as we reached our table. We pulled out our lunch boxes, and started to eat.
"What is he making you do now? Write a ten thousand word essay describing how boring his class is?" she said. I giggled.
"No. He wants me to stay after school for a surprise, that will supposedly help me." I said sarcastically, as I took a bit out of my sandwich. Millie looked up from her home made salad.
"It sounds like he's going to rape you or something." She said seriously.
"I know right!" I laughed. "And the look on his face when he said surprise, just screamed pedophile."
"Do you want me to come with you? I mean I can still kick some ass, even if I am pregnant." She said. We both are 2nd degree black belts.
"I think that would be a good idea. I don't want to get raped today." I joked. We finished. eating, and the bell rang. I headed off to Calculus and she went off to Civics. Mille was staying after school with me just to be safe. We decided to meet at Mr. Henderson's class after the bell. The rest of the day went by rather quickly. The bell dismissing us for the day finally rung, and I walked to my locker. I put up my stuff, and hurried to Mr. Henderson's class. Millie was standing out side of his class, like she said she would.
"Hi ya mills." I said using my nickname for her. She smiled.
"Hey, are you ready?"She asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I replied. I knocked on the door.
"Come in." A voice on the other side said. I opened the door and went inside.
"Hello Kayley, and who is this?" Mr. Henderson asked, when he saw Millie.
"This is my friend Millie, and turns out she needs some help in her history class." I lied. I was pretty good at that. He nodded.
"Well, lets get to it." He said, as he took out this ancient looking book. It was and old style book. It was made of leather, and the pages are a sickly yellow. It looked very frail, like it would fall apart any second.
"This is a very important book. This book has been handed down through my family for centuries. My family are the protectors of this book and its content." He said.
"Whats in it?" Millie asked.
"Well, spells. Merlins spells." He said very seriously. I burst out laughing. Millie did .Henderson's face got red again. Our laughter died down.
"Your being serious?" I asked.
"Yes I am. Do you doubt me?" He asked.
"Yes I do. Merlin is just a legend, just like King Arthur and his knights." I said confidently. He got this weird look in his eyes.
"You really believe that? There is no way I can change your mind on the matter?" He replied.
"There is nothing you could do to make me believe that stuff is real." I said. Millie remained quiet.
"I was hoping I could change your mind, but it is obvious your mind can't be changed. I didn't want to do this, but there is no other choice. It is my duty to turn the non-believers into believers." He said, opening the book.
"I don't understand." Millie said, but he remained silent. He flipped to a certain page and he began to read, but he wasn't speaking english. I think its latin. I thought that language was dead.
"What are you doing?" I asked, but he ignored me and continued to read, getting louder and louder. Millie grabbed my arm. He was really starting to freak us out. Then a loud whistle noise started, all while he was still reading in latin. There was a bright flash and it felt like my whole body was on fire. Then it felt like my body was being torn apart. It is a horrible feeling. Then 's voice disappeared.
I was now falling. The burning sensation stopped, as I hit the ground with a loud thud. I hit my head on something. I look up, and all I see are tree's. I hear voices before slowly drifting out of conciseness.
READ- A.N-Did you like it? Please review and tell me. Two quick questions. Should Millie be brought back with Kayley? If Millie does, who should she end up with? Who should Kayley end up with?
