Evies POV:
Jane managed to find Lonnie and she agreed to help the search, Ben and I split up from the group to search the eastern side of the forest whilst Jay, Gil and Doug took the western and Jane, Lonnie and Carlos went from the front. Dizzy went off when she realised it was a more mature subject we started to get into, we were all grateful.
When Jay and the others in his group started to shout saying they found something we all raced over to see their find.
"Jay?" I called and soon enough Gil came and led us to the others, eventually Ben, Jane, Lonnie and Carlos all caught up to us and Ben pointed something out.
"This path heads to the coast." He explained and everyone looked around each other, Gil looked relieved to know where his friend had gone even if we hadn't even actually found him yet.
"Of course he's gone to the coast, he's a pirate." I exclaimed hitting my head making those who saw laugh. Jay and Gil had gone off causing the rest of us to run after the taller boys until we reached an amazing clearing, trees sheltered it making the whole area seem green, even the air, it was like it was enchanted but that wouldn't surprise me if it was. There in the middle of the quaint clearing was a single tree stump with moss growing over it, there were hundreds of clover and lavenders growing around here too. We all admired the beautiful clearing until Jay stood up taller pointing to something. Everyone followed his gaze and point to see Harry Hook walking along the otherside of the clearing, he looked like he had just ran a lot and was catching his breath. After a few seconds I saw Mal racing after him, she looked mad and I was about to tell Harry but part of me wanted to see how this played out. Mal kept running, her frustrated look turned to that of a wicked scowl, she then jumped on top of the pirate, the started punching at his back but he didn't seem fazed by this, she was screaming and swearing at him but he obviously didn't care he was taller and stronger and could easily get her off him if she wanted. I struggled to contain my laughter but it was Gil he broke the tension by laughing.
"Nice one Harry, being beaten up by a girl." As if this was a switch for Harry he quickly swung his leg up, kicking Mal in between the shoulder blades, spinning them over so she was now laying on the forest floor and he was pinning her down and pointing his hook at her, it was looming dangerously over her right eye.
Eventually Harry moved off Mal and started to walk off, Mal growled in frustration, her eyes once again glowing their famous green.
"I am going to strangle him one of those days, or he'll end up hooking me." Mal was too far in her thoughts to see me give her a wide feline grin, now this was the real Mal, I knew and loved.
Harrys POV:
My God Mal annoyed me, she was so persistent and whiny and controlling. I tried to walk behind everyone again but I guess they learned their lesson in that and two people wouldn't leave until I walked, I threw my head up in annoyance but walked silently, once again bored. Gil was talking to Jay comfortably and I knew he was settling in just fine, annoyingly I heard someone walk up to me but they didn't say anything. I turned my head to see Carlos standing there, he looked at me but didn't do anything, that was fine to me. We walked back to the school whilst I swung my watch looking at the old pattern on the cream surface beneath the glass, as I trudged along the grass still watching the swinging watch I felt myself being stopped, I let out an exasperated sigh and realised that I had almost walked into the back of Evie, when I felt someone staring at my watch I quickly put it into my pocket and followed everyone again even though I had no idea why they had stopped, I soon realised Carlos had left me alone again and for that I was grateful.
Soon enough we all ended up in a huge room filled with food. I didn't go up so I went and sat down, waiting for everyone. After a few minutes everyone was sat down, I didn't listen to anyone and I was gladly doing nothing until I saw someone unknown to me sit opposite me. I didn't look up but instead slammed my hook down myself still holding it, it pierced the table a little and I felt multiple people turn my way. Even if I didn't look I saw people visible stiffen or pale when they saw the girl nearby. She ignored everyones glances and gestures to stop or don't do anything and she spoke.
"Hi, I'm Audrey." I looked up to see a tan girl with shoulder length hazel brown hair wearing a short pink floral dress with a lot of makeup. I ignored the girl and tuned everyone out, that was until she leaned over, her mouth now persed into a straight line, any chance of a smile had gone,
"You know it's rude to ignore someone, right?" She asked, I saw people ready to move and stop what I knew what was about to go down. Others tried to talk Audrey out of it like Lonnie or Carlos, even Ben tried to stop her but she was having none of it, a typical princess.
"Audrey, that's Harry, Harry Hook." I noticed instantly she was less quiet but she was still eyeing me. I looked at her in the eyes and leaned over, my hook outstretched so it was just centimeters from her eye, she squeaked and stood up, she was shaking and I saw she was frowning as well. As she moved away from the table I looked around to see a sea of people gazing at me, annoyed I stood up and walked out of the room, everyone was murmuring but I ignored it, people like Audrey really annoyed me, always want attention, always make a fuss, always get annoyed when they don't get their way. I found a stick outside in the garden and took it up into mine and Gils room. I sat on my bed and hacked away at the log until all was left was splinters that were scattered along the floor. I huffed and sat on the floor near the door and waited, I didn't know how long I waited for but soon enough I heard people knocking on the door. Reluctantly I stood up and opened it, there in front of me was Gil, his face was plastered in concern but when he saw me he relaxed. Gil was probably one of the only ones who actually cared for me much like I cared for him in the way that we both always looked out for each other and had each others backs. I then noticed that everyone else was standing in the hallway so I left the room and walked to them silently, sighing a few times before looking around.
"Ignore Audrey." Ben said and I looked at him blankly but I knew he was right even if I really wanted to hook her or make her regret even talking or existing, here it 'wasn't right' but I didn't care.
"We should get to your next lesson Harry." Mal spoke up and she turned around walking off, Ben and Evie waiting for me to follow, I looked to Gil and gave him a quick wink to reassure him that I was ok and left. Once again I was stuck in the middle of everyone, I smirked at the fact they still didn't trust me enough. I looked to see Jay and Lonnie walking together in the distance, visibly in the same direction that we were headed. I followed Mal into a big building off away from the school but it looked clean enough to be used. We walked in and there in front of us was a couple of blue and yellow striped soft boxes, the floor and whole room was black with lights, the floor had a compass sort of logo and had the same blue and yellow colours, there was also a barrier with black fabric with people watching whilst others were obviously part of the team by the jackets and colours. There was also a few banners with the letters A and P printed side by side on the banners. I saw two people already in the center holding some swords, I smirked, you would have thought they would have learned in previous experiences what a pirate could do. I watched as the two people thought, the clinking of metal hitting each other when the swords met each other. The swords moved in a flurry of movement but I watched carefully seeing every move each person made. I smirked when I realised the person on the left would lose the fight, the had left themselves open a tiny bit on their right and it seemed like they hadn't realised however, the person on the right saw this opportunity and quickly lunged forward, expertly avoiding all on coming attacks the person threw at them. Quickly and swiftly the person on the left jabbed their sword out and touched the other fighters side, a buzzer went off and they stopped, both removing their masks. I looked to see the one who had one was none other than Lonnie, I let out a laugh when I saw the other competitor was Jay, he frowned at me and I smirked before faking a pout and talking.
"Awww Jay, seems like you've lost your touch." I saw Jay walk over to me but he was quickly stopped by Lonnie gripping his arm, she shot me a glance and I laughed before looking around, everyone seemed uncomfortable with me around but that was their problem, I was enjoying people losing to a girl, that was until Ben reluctantly gave me a sword, I looked it it, touching the sharp blade and running my hook along the metal surface and saw them gesture for me to walk into the center, I walked over and Lonnie put her mask on, I didn't want anything to protect me, I had experienced worse on the isle and I had scars to prove it. I saw someone nod, allowing us to start. Lonnie lunged forward but I quickly moved out of the way avoiding the sword by meters. I saw her trying to regain from her attack but she wasn't quick enough, I lifted my sword and was about to attack when she spun around swiftly and blocked the blade, the metal clashing over and over, I was getting annoyed even if we hadn't been here for long. After another two minutes I saw there was an opening for me, I dodged the sword attack and once again she was left touching nothing but air, quickly I moved behind her and thrust the sword forward and it touched her, letting out another bleep to tell us the match was over. I stood up straight and smirked at Lonnie. I looked over and saw Ben calling me over and I followed quickly, this was probably one of the only lessons I would enjoy. Once I had reached Ben he started speaking, I listened but once again looked at the hook my father had given me. I soon walked out of the building that held the sport and we once again were illuminated in the sun, I looked straight ahead just away from the setting sun, the wind had picked up and everyone was pulling their jackets over themselves but it didn't bother me. We walked along the courtyard and past a bunch of lockers. We walked up the courtyard steps and into the part of the school with the dorm rooms, I followed everyone up the oak staircase and I opened the door to my room, I just realised that the outside of the door was just as hideous as the inside, I made a quick reminder to destroy that part of the door too. Once I was inside I looked to see Gil, he didn't look pleased at the mess I had made but he knew better than to argue with me, I lay on my bed and sat there quietly, Gil just looking off into the distance.
Mals POV:
I watched as Harry fought Lonnie pretty quickly, mind you he was a pirate and he had been trained in pretty… brutal ways, that's probably why he was so fierce and forceful in a fight. Once we got outside the cool autumn breeze hit me, I quickly wrapped my small leather jacket around me and I saw others do the same, except Harry, he didn't seem bothered by the cold but I wouldn't worry about him, he's a pirate so he was probably used to the cool winds when he was on the ship.
Once we headed to the dorm rooms I saw Harry and Gil exclude themselves from us, I noticed Harry eye the door to their room up before entering, I could tell he still wasn't pleased with the decoration on it. I stared at the closet door silently for a few minutes before heading to my bed. I looked at the clock on the table and it read 7:06, it was coming close to dinner, that's when I realised Harry and Gil weren't aware of this. Reluctantly I walked along the corridor looking at the doors, I finally reached Jay and Carlos' and knocked on the door opposite theirs, I heard a grumble and then the door open, Gil was the one to open the door, he looked tired and confused, I looked to see he had multiple science books scattered over his floor and bed, whereas I looked to Harrys bed and saw he didn't have any books out, or if he did he barely looked at them.
"What's up?" Gil asked, rubbing his eyes, I inspected the room but there was no sign of Harry,
"First of all, Where's Harry?" I asked cautiously, Gil didn't seem alarmed but he just smiled at me,
"Relax he's just on a tree outside, probably destroying it's twigs." I saw him point to a tree outside their window and there a few feet above us was Harry, there he was indeed destroying some branches and it looked like he was carving something into them, I asked if I could come in and Gil opened the door wider allowing me his hospitality, just then I saw the damage Harry had caused, I didn't really look before but Harry went all out. I looked to see head back to his bed reading some books, he looked puzzled.
"You need help?" I asked, he looked up to me unsure, I smiled
"What's got you confused?" I asked, he seemed a little awkward that I was so open to helping him, I gave him a look to say 'don't worry about it' he still looked uncertain but I looked at his book to see it was some science equations he didn't get. I chuckled,
"Gil, I'm a pro at these, I'll help you." Gil seemed pleased and thanked me, he then looked out to Harry and I saw that he quickly looked away, I looked myself to see Harry stare straight at me. I quickly stepped away from the window and over to Gil.
"So Balanced equations give the symbols and formulas of the substances involved in a reaction." I looked to Gil and he nodded in understandment and I continued, pointing at different equations.
"So for example if we just replace the words shown above with the correct chemical formulas, we will get an unbalanced equation, as shown here" I pointed to the equation, Cu + O2 → CuO, I made sure Gil was making sure he understood everything and then continued once he gave me a nod in confirmation
"To make things equal, we need to adjust the number of units of some of the substances until we get equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow." I was teaching Gil and he was listening so intently that we didn't hear Harry sneak back in, I continued to teach Gil unaware of his presence. I pointed to the book again at the now balanced equation, 2Cu + O2 → 2CuO
"You can see that we now have two copper atoms (Cu) and two oxygen atoms (O) on each side. This matches what happens in the reaction." Once I had finished explaining Gil looked much more relaxed and when I asked him if he understood he dipped his head to say he did. I nodded and was about to stand and move when I felt the presence of someone behind me. I turned around to see Harry towering over me.
"What you doing in here?" I looked up and scowled at him, he looked miffed that I was in here but I was pleased at this.
"Helping Gil." He stopped me from speaking so he could say something himself,
"You may have ended up helping Gil, but you came here with another intention." He stated bluntly and eventually I nodded before looking at my small watch before sighing in defeat.
"I wanted to tell you we'd be having dinner soon." Harry grunted and Gil looked back to his science book, that's when a delicate knock came from their door. I walked over and opened the door, smiling when I saw everyone was there. I saw each of them shoot me an odd look but I ignored them,
"You coming?" I asked before turning to leave, the two pirates behind me, I saw Harry close the door and hesitate, I walked off and decided to wait in the entrance for Harry since once again he had lingered back. I heard something being scratched and knew it was Harry destroying the cobalt door to the bedroom, soon enough he emerged and walked down the steps. I waited by the door and he observed me before walking off, quickly I raced after him and soon caught up to him. I walked a few meters behind him before he stopped, since I was looking at the moon I didn't notice and walked into his strong and sturdy back. When we were back on the beach I noticed more scars than before I left the isle, I was tempted to ask but thought against it. Instead of walking behind the lanky pirate I walked behind him, my pace in time with his own, I caught his stare down at me but he smirked before looking forward.I was about to start a conversation when I realised we were outside the dining room, I saw Harry hesitate but I pretended I didn't see him look worried, he would find a way to shut me up, good or bad.
We entered the room and walked over to Evie and Jay who were sat with everyone else, I saw Harry head over to everyone walk over instead of grabbing food and I knew he didn't get anything at lunch, groaning I grabbed two trays of food and walked over. I gave Harry a tray of food and he looked confused, reluctantly I sat down beside him and started to eat, listening to Evie talk about a new design she was making. Since I shared a room with her I was already able to see it now matter how desperately she tried to hide it and it was stunning, I saw her original idea scrabbed in the bin but I had seen her new plan. It was a long leather jacket like Harrys but she hadn't decided on a colour yet, or from what I had seen, she had been keeping it hidden lately and I didn't want to intrude on her hobby so I left her to it. I turned to see Harry hadn't touched his food really and I looked to him, I gently nudged him and he looked to me, I gestured for him to eat his food secretly so no one else could see what Harry was doing. He poked at the food and eventually ate it slowly. I smirked at his different reactions and soon enough we all stood up and headed back to the dorms.
I walked with Evie along the endless corridor, we all stopped and stared at what Harry had done to the door and it was wrecked, I knew he was trying to get to Ben, he had since the kidnapping but Ben wouldn't break and that just made Harry want to do more and more to annoy him.
I changed into my magenta pyjama summer tank top and some boysenberry pyjama shorts with some parakeet green stripes over them. I looked over to see Evie had slipped her lapis hair into a messy bun and had placed some navy pyjama bottoms on and then a berry blue pyjama summer tank top on. I slipped into the covers of my bed and quickly watched Evie do the same before I quickly drifted off into a deep sleep.
