XSRA's Flame Chapter 2: Lunch Activities

Skyla POV

I sat at the regular noisy lunch table staring down at my uneaten sandwich in distain. Oh how I hate lunchtime. So boring. It's the same every single day…

Who could eat this stuff anyways? I looked over to one of my temporary school friends. She was happily stabbing into a salad. As much as I enjoyed the leafy destruction… how could she call that food?!

"Hey Sky, can you open this for me?" Another asked, giggling a bit.

I shrugged still deep in thought as I grabbed the cold soda can. I tilted it to the side and opened the can only to see the purple soda spray out and hit the wall beside a guy who had just walked in.

He didn't look too fazed, but I was! How can you just accept that soda took flight and blanket the wall next to you?! I gasped as the girls frowned in disappointment about their plan failing. With an amused grin, I ran over to the guy in a hurry.

I had to apologize for my friends being… well… my friends.

He wore mostly green and black, not surprising. Many people here wear one color or two. He wore a green sweatshirt and sleek black sweatpants. His messy black hair fell in his face but never fully hid the eyes he had. I couldn't make out the eye color in my rush towards him.

"I am so sorry!" I said still holding the empty can in my hand. I hadn't placed it down so now it must look like I aimed for him. I grimaced at the thought of someone hating me for that silly reason.

He nodded and walked away. He freaking nodded and walked away after I had just missed his entire face with grape soda. I almost hit him in the face… with grape soda… and all he does is nod. Not just that, but everything about this should be alarming.

What is up with this guy?

I decided to follow him and introduce myself.

"I'm Skyla, Skyla Xerious."

He waved shyly towards me and kept quiet. He sped up his pacing causing me to fall behind. Letting out a huff, I quickened my pace falling back in line with him.

"What's your name?" I asked. He kept quiet again. I thought he was a mute until he spoke.

"Xera."

It was a short and simple answer but it was enough to make me continue the conversation.

"Xera. Nice name. I like it!"

"Are you always this outgoing?" He asked looking my way through his unkempt black bangs.

Even though I was looking straight at him, I mainly stared at his hair and he avoided my eyes, thankfully.

"Ah no, not really… but I can be sometimes." I stuttered awkwardly, looking away. When I looked back, he was gone. Disheartened by his eagerness to get away, I bounced over to my friends who were walking by and began walking with them. They were talking about hot guys in Beacon and how much they wished they wanted to go there. I barely listened because my thoughts were still occupied by the green stranger and why he had ignored me.

Seriously? Was I that annoying?

I scowled to myself and watched my feet walk along the tiled floor as I blocked out the usual chatter.

I can't wait to get to Beacon… because then I can get away from these people and maybe meet some new ones. It's impossible to get in that school. Top notch they say. I chuckled slightly to myself ignoring the looks my friends gave me. It took me a lifetime to get into that dang school. The bad thing is, I spent everything on that school. The good thing about leaving this place is that I'll never see anyone from this school again.

Once I reach the school, I know many people go there to become a huntress or a huntsman but I don't want to become a huntress, really.

Okay, maybe a little…

I sighed loudly and departed myself from the others to head to my room without any other objections. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I slowly withdrew a small notebook hidden beneath my mattress. I opened it up to see nothing written. Empty pages filled the book. Not even a title page. The cover was empty and was a plain white covering. So why did I still keep it?

Just showing a second side to the story. Sky has her own little style, that I'm sure you'll be able to spot whenever she adds her additions to this little tale.

*Edit: This'll be a long… long tale. Now I shall leave you… back to the future with me.

Now that the character introductions are out of the way, off to… wherever it is this'll lead to next. Beacon! Yeah, that's it.
