Chloe's POV

So today is the day…

Left jab, block, one pitiful kick

I can't believe it's been one full year…

MOVE!

Wow! That was a close one…

Punch to the stomach…Oh no! He blocked it. One kick to the stomach and I'm on my butt…dirt everywhere. Sigh.

I get up and brush my shoulders from the weeds that are sticking to the sweat all over my body. As I walk over to him I notice he has not one speck of dirt on him. Not on his black sweats, not on his grey tank, and not even on his black shoes…wait…nope none.

I look at myself…my shoes need to go in the trash…or in a decent car wash. My pants I don't know if they were grey when I put them on… either way there not anymore. My shirt…covered in sweat and dirt, disgusting. I run my right hand in my hair. I almost put my hair in a ponytail…until I remember I cut my hair 2 weeks ago. The curl is gone so now it reaches my shoulder…but since I'm going to shower when I get home… I would probably wash my hair and the curl would come back. When it's curly it reaches only to my neck.

I reach Alek and then go to my watch, which I put on the grass floor. It's now 4:48. I came here at 12:50 something. I go to my water bottle, but Alek takes it away. I sighed. Ever since that awful day which Valentina died, Jasmine was sent to the Mai healers, Zane was hunted down but never found, Brian got in a coma…Well here's how it went.

Amy called 911 for Brian and we fled the place.I called Alek but he didn't answer, so I went to the penthouse and everything was dark. Luckily I could see but the only thing I focused on was Valentina, and Jasmine. Then a sharp pain went through me and everything was black, but the difference was I couldn't see.

When I woke up healers were all around Jasmine and Valentina. I saw Zane on the ground looking dead. I looked over at Alek he trying hard not to cry, I was trying hard not to cry. It was just all too much. I heard one of the healers yell "She's alive! We have a birth right pride leader! Send her to the Healing station!" Everyone took her holding her carefully trying not to cause any more damage. Alek and I looked at each other shocked. We quickly went over to one of the healers. We asked about Valentina, and he said that she didn't make it. The poison was far too much for her body to we rode to the healing station, we were both quiet.

When we came in we saw Jasmine in a room. The doctor said we couldn't come in today so we stayed there all night just looking through the glass. That night we swore to ourselves we would stay just friends, but from the looks of it now we could be just Mai partners…or early morning Alek took me back home and before I could even go to bed Meredith told me about her…date... with the man I want to kill! No harm was done thankfully…it was just a warning for me I guess.

And that's how it went.

"Chloe you're not focusing! I could have easily killed you…Pay attention! You don't want to be killed again!" Alek said in a hard tone. My face stayed the same in a bored, not paying attention look. I sighed again. I packed my stuff and started to leave. "Keep the water!" I yelled, knowing he hates when I yell, when he could easily hear me when I whisper.

As I came home I heard Alek get on the roof. I took a towel and went into the bathroom. My mind started to wander to the anniversary of everything that happened a year ago…besides when I got my Mai powers. I don't really celebrate that anymore, don't get me wrong I love being Mai but I also hate it.

I came out and put a towel around me. I put on a black bra, black underwear, a black long sleeve shirt, and black shorts. See a pattern. I dress more in a darker now. Ever since those 3 deaths it's like every day is a funeral. I know that Brian only is in a coma, and so is Jasmine right ow but it's pretty much the same to me. Sometimes I get my frustration out on a punching bag I have. It hangs on the ceiling. I got it on a bodybuilder website. Sometimes I don't use the gloves to see if I'm strong enough, for the pain not to hurt. The pain gets lower every time.

I think I might try tonight. I go downstairs and grab a water bottle then go back upstairs. I drink half the bottle before doing so. I pick up the gloves…then put them down. I don't need them. As I throw my first punch, I start to think about everyone. I get angry and angrier. "This one is for Valentina!" I say as I punch the bag as some of the thing rips. "This one is for Jasmine!" I say as I punch it even harder. The bag flies backwards then comes towards me again. I punch even more as I say "This one's for Brian!"

"This one is for Meredith!" I just start to name people that's life I've come to know, and I had to get involved.

"This one is for my fucked up life!"

"This one is for Xavier!"

"This one is for Xavier's brother!" The bag ripped a little.

"This one is for Frank!"

"This one is for Frank's daughter!"

"This one is for Paul!"

"And this one is for Amy!"

"AHHHHHH!" I scream as I punch it one more time, and the bag is cut from the chain and dropped to the floor. I kick it out of my way as I head to the bathroom again! I take a quick 10 minute shower get out and put on my black and red bra, my black v neck, and my black shorts…the other one that is!

I drank the rest of the water and went to lie down in my bed. I looked at a frame I had with Jasmine in it, I posted Valentina, Brian, and Xavier in there too. Valentina was the hardest picture to get. Even though I got it when she was dead…

Next Day

Chloe's POV

I got up from the beeping noises of my alarm. I shut it off and got up. I went to my closet and got out my clothes. (You can see what she wore on my profile.) I went to the bathroom and put on smoky, black cat eye make-up. (You can also see her make- up.) And some blood red lip stick on. Then I put on my silver hoop earrings. My hair was already curled so I grabbed my Ipod from my dresser, and put it in my red purse. I went downstairs and grabbed an apple. "Bye Mom!" I yelled. I closed the door when I heard her say bye back. I took a bite of my apple as I walked to school. As I got to the parking lot, I saw Amy. Amy and I were still friends but she didn't like how the 'deaths' affected me.

"Hey." I said as I went over to her. Paul was there too. Paul's good…he's still Paul around me. "Hey! Still dressing devil." She said smiling in her pink pencil skirt and ruby tank. The straps went around her neck. She had her hair really curly, so that you could see her studs. "Amy not again?" Paul groaned. I chuckled as I still bit into my apple. "Paul don't defend her in this…the way she's dressing isn't right." Amy said. "Oh come on Amy! It's not devil, it's not goth, and it's not emo! I mean the guys aren't complaining." I said as Amy noticed all the guys were staring at me! She rolled her eyes as we stopped at the stairs. "Chloe! Still you're not even acting the same. You've gotten three detentions just last week! Three!" She said putting up three fingers just to show me how unChloe like that is. "Amy, I have to go. Class is about to start." I said as I walked up. "It's not like you come on time anyway." She mumbled. I sighed.

She's right though, I don't even bother going to class sometimes. I know she didn't add neither you or Alek do, because then she would know how much I struggle. And she doesn't want to see or know I struggle. I go to the bathroom and throw the apple in the trash. I get out some gum and look at myself in the mirror. I hear the bell ring, but I don't care. It's not like I pay attention anyways. I still look at myself and see how much I've changed since I became Mai. I'm definitely not innocent anymore; I could handle myself without Meredith if those damn Order people weren't constantly chasing me. I don't think about that though, because I love Meredith. She's the mom I never knew. I get up and walk to class. I see Alek come to. We both pause, like every other time this happens. The same words are said. "You can go first." I say. "No it's okay." He says back. "Okay…gum?" I say to him. "Umm, no it's okay." He says back. And I go in with him followed behind me, I go to my seat and he goes to his 2 seats down and 2 seats to my left. The stares don't go away yet. The stares of jealousy, annoyance, and awe. Jealousy from most of the girls in the class. Annoyance from the nerds and Amy. Awe from the people who actually think it's cool to be late from class.

"King! Petrov! You're late…again." Mrs. Phipps says. The answer is always the same. " It won't happen again." Alek says. And I just stare, until she faces the board again. I take my coat off and put it behind my chair. A few whistles are made, I just ignore it. I take my purse and take out some nail polish. Midnight Blue, it reads. I take it and started painting my nails.

I start to think about Valentina, Jasmine, and Brian. They all were so important in my life, Valentina was my first mentor. Even though she was harsh to Jasmine she taught me that you can't always be nice to the ones you love. Sometimes you need a backbone, because you might not always be there for them. Jasmine was my first Mai friend. She was so fierce, tough, and loyal. She was and is meant to be the next pride leader. I know she's going to make it. Lastly Brian. Brian was so sweet. He was my first real relationship, even though we couldn't kiss. Maybe it was my hormones, or maybe it was something real but there was a spark between us. I hope he makes it through the coma. He doesn't deserve to die.

I laugh at how soft I'm getting. "Is something funny Mr. King?" Asks the teacher, look up. "Umm…no." I say. "Good now-…does anyone smell nail polish?" She says. The class laughs. I snort. I quickly put the nail polish away. I just need to do one more…oh well it looks nice that way anyway. The bell rings and I quickly put on my jacket and head out.

As I walked through the hallways one of the Jocko's came and pinned me to the lockers. If this was two years ago I would have just talked my way through this, but I'm not weak anymore. "So King-" before he could utter another word I kneed him in the…well you know where, then grabbed his arm and twisted it back and pushed him into the lockers. I was beyond pissed. "Only one person can call me King, and it sure as hell ain't you!" I said to him. I then let go of him and growled at anyone who stood in my way. I went to my locker and opened it. Not even looking at Alek as he was in his circle of girls.

As I looked into my locker I saw Brian's picture, It was one where we had our first date, I smiled a little. Then I took it and put in behind all my books. That picture was way too valuable for someone other than me to see. The bell ring as I took my things for Social Studies and closed the locker door. As I closed the door Alek was there already packed. "So." He said. I rolled my eyes. "So." I said as I left. "Wait!" Alek said as he ran towards me. I sighed, and stopped where I was at. "What?" I asked annoyed. "So, I was thinking-" he got interrupted by Natalie a.k.a. major
popular cheerleader that thinks her higher than anyone. "Hey Alek!" she said while flipping her long brown hair. I chuckled. "So, I'm just going to go and leave you two alone!" I said as walked away from them and into Social Studies. Mr. Howard was talking about some revolution thing, I tuned out of his class after he went into his speech about who knows what. I put my ear plugs on and put on a song from my Ipod. I went to artist and clicked on my favorite singer in the world Katy Perry. I put on "Part of Me". I love that song. I began to hum along as I closed my eyes. I started to silently snap the beat, and move my head. Man, I love Katy.

I opened my eyes and Amy was looking at me in a strict way. I put on eyebrow up, then I began to laugh. I took my phone out and texted her.

Chloe is normal. Amy is Italic.

Hey! Y the long face. *pout* Her phone started to vibrate, and she looked at me wide-eyed, head cocked.

Chloe! I am going to kill u, u no gudd and well y I'm mad! And your suppose 2 b listening!

As I got the message I rolled my eyes.

Amy you barely listen in his class! I'm not even surprised that you're the 1st 1 to notice me! But I have a serious ?

What!

Well that's not a question…it's a statement.

I smiled…were not going after school…were going after this period! Now what's a way to persuade Amy to go…?
