I own nothing! I swear! Wow, these chapters are selling like hot cakes! Okay, so this is chapter seven, and it carries over from chapter six... Sorta... Oh well, it's chapter seven and it's a few days after the huge blow out between Ailes and Dakota... Yeah... I'm going to start a Graduation clock to tell about how many more days are left to go until Graduation!
Days Until Graduation: 31
Okay! Read and Review please! Love to all my lovely readers! Here you go!
"Alright, that's enough for today class, you may close your books and converse for the last, twenty minutes of class," Professor Claire said, turning her back on the class and placing her books in her bag. Sapphire stood up, walking over to the mess of arms and green hair. She sighed, shaking her head at the girl. She really was taking it harder than she thought, and Sapphire could honestly say, she missed the eccentric personality that was Ailes de Paon. It was shocking that she had let the blonde haired surfer get under her skin so much. Sapphire walked over, poking the girl on the shoulder and making the girl look up. Her glasses covered eyes were red and puffy, her cheeks beet red, those pink eyes lost their playful light, only holding a sad glimmer. Sapphire bit her lip, resisting the urge to hug the girl. She honestly felt for her, this was one of her best friends, and the fact that the blonde... She growled under her breath, looking at the floor and thinking about how wonderful it would be to rip the blonde idiot a new mouth... In his neck. Tracking Dakota down had crossed her mind on more than one occasion, the whole week Ailes was rather sad. It was only last night she had heard what had happened from Aiden when they were going over Chemistry notes.
"Hey, I heard what happened, are you okay?" Sapphire asked, sitting on the green haired girl's desk.
"Who told you?" Ailes asked, popping her head up from it's hiding place in her arms.
"Aiden told me last night. Oh yeah, Dakota wanted me to tell you that he's sorry. That he never should've said the things he said." Sapphire relayed, crossing her legs. She placed one elbow on her leg and placed her head on her hand, watching the green haired girl.
"Really? He sure sounded like he meant it," Ailes sighed, placing her head back into her folded arms.
"Yeah, I heard..." Sapphire said, shaking her head at the girl.
"Have you ever been here before?" Ailes asked, looking up into brilliant blue eyes.
"Here? As in your predicament? Yeah, once... But the end results were not pretty..." Sapphire trailed off, shivering at the thought.
"What was it like for you? Did you have such a hard time with it?"
"I wasn't given much of a choice... The one guy ripped the other guy's throat out..." Sapphire said, shrugging her shoulders. Ailes looked at the girl terrified at the concept.
"Relax, they're both dead... Almost. Anyway, back to your issue..."
"Yeah?" Ailes asked, cocking an eyebrow at the girl.
"These things are hard to come by... You're a lucky girl, being in this... It is, however, extremely difficult to handle. Especially when you've given your heart to both, and each has given a part of themselves to you."
"No kidding," Ailes sighed, making the girl above her laugh.
"You've given your heart to two very different guys... That's a problem, because some people, they aren't too keen on the idea of having to share the one that they love... These things, don't usually end in a win-win situation. There is somebody who get's hurt, and so far, it's you." Sapphire said, smiling lightly at the girl. Ailes could only stare at her. She was right, so far, the only one who was hurt was her... She was breaking her own heart.
"So you want me to just give up, on Dakota?" Ailes asked, looking up at the girl. Pink eyes watered over, tears streaking hot paths down her cheeks.
"I'm saying, stop hurting yourself. Stop causing yourself to go through this... It's not pretty," Sapphire said, shaking her head sadly at the girl.
"But I can't just give up on him. I still love him..." Ailes cried, sniffling.
"I know... But I'm going to tell you something my mother used to say to me," Sapphire said, placing a hand under the girl's chin and pulling her head up. Sad pink met soft blue in an intense gaze.
"If you love something, you have to let it go. If it truly loves you, it will come back to you." The words stuck to Ailes's skin until they finally sunk in, making her eyes water even more.
"But I don't want to let him go, that's the problem."
"Maybe it's best to let him go, for a little bit. Just let him... Explore. Maybe some time away from each other, is what you guys really need," Sapphire said, placing a hand on the girl's shoulder.
"Explore? He won't explore, he'll stick to that little water sprite... She's too damn cute for her own good. With her innocent looking face and her powers... She's everything he'd wan-"
"You're every bit a girl as she is... You aren't her, you don't have to be her... You are your own person, and that is that. In my opinion, he's an idiot for letting you go, and letting that... Dork have you!"
"Hey, Ken is not a dork... He's sweet." Ailes said, making the angel above her laugh.
"He's a dork! You have to admit, but that doesn't mean that I don't love him... He's sweet to you... I want to see you, with someone who appreciates your differentness. Someone who loves you for you... Someone, who only has eyes for you." Sapphire said, smiling at the girl.
"Thanks," Ailes said, watching the girl hop off of her desk.
"Hey, it's no problem... You're not the only one with relationship issues," Sapphire said, throwing an arm over her shoulder and pointing to the two guys arguing in the corner, the black haired girl sat aside, arms crossed over her chest and a glare pointed at the angel. Ailes laughed at the three, soon joined by a fourth, a white haired girl that looked as though she could be Sapphire's twin.
"Oh God, here we go," Sapphire groaned, shaking her head as the girl tried to grab Castiel.
"You'd better go before this gets ugly," Ailes said, nodding toward the group of four.
"Yeah, I guess. Hey, cheer up. You're sitting with me today at lunch," Sapphire said, pointing to her as she walked toward the group. Ailes sighed but nodded, hopping to God that he bell would ring soon. About fifteen minutes later, the bell rang, the small group still bickering in the corner. Ailes stood up, wiping her now sore eyes and grabbing her bag. She turned her head to see the white haired Angel of Death grab both girls by their arms and drag them out of the room. She lightly chuckled to herself, shaking her head as she made her way to the door. Walking into the hallway she stopped when she saw the blonde surfer walking toward her, arm laced with the black haired water sprite. Dakota's eyes met hers for a moment and he flashed her a smile. Stepping in front of the girl, Xavier grabbed the girl's arm, throwing his around her waist and smiling down at her.
"What the hell are you doing?" Ailes asked the black haired reptile commander.
"I am saving you from yourself and also saving you from Dakota Sandler." Xavier said, smiling at her. He gave off a light chuckle at the girl's confused look.
"I heard what happened the other night... Everyone is ready to rip out his throat... It's taken everything I have to keep my sister from ripping him to shreds," Xavier leaned down and whispered in her ear. He eyed the blonde at the end of the hall and lightly pushed the girl to walk, guiding her through the sea of students.
"So what? I'm not allowed to be alone now?" Ailes asked, turning her head to watch the head of black hair. Dyed neon green tips swayed slightly with each step, hazel eyes sparkled with amusement.
"No, you are... I've always wanted the chance to annoy you." Xavier shrugged.
"You're succeeding," Ailes said, rolling her eyes at him. She was kinda glad for the distraction, even if it was from an annoying snake charmer.
"Reptile Charmer," Xavier whispered in her ear, making her snap her eyes to the black haired male.
"Excuse me?"
"You think too loud... I can hear it... Family trait, being able to hear thoughts. It's a nasty habit really, when you slip into someone's mind. Especially when someone is dreaming... Of a certain-"
"You are disgusting!" Ailes said, pushing away from the older male. Xavier chuckled, shaking his head at the girl and sticking his hands in the pockets of the black slacks that the boy was wearing. Now that was different, he usually wore cargo pants, and a stupid band tee, but both were no where to be seen. She watched as he lurched forward due to the added weight on his back.
"Ryan! You didn't wait for me! I thought you would walk with me today," The white haired girl cried, black cat ears laying flat against her head.
"I told you that I had to be somewhere," Xavier said, taking each one of the girl's legs in his hands and holding them. Neko gave off a purr, rubbing her head against the older boy's with a small smile.
"Oh hey Ailes," Neko said, looking at the green haired girl. Bright yellow eyes glowing with a playful light, two small sharp teeth were exposed as she smiled.
"Hey," Ailes nodded at the girl, turning her head down the hall to see the brown haired boy waiting patiently for her.
"Ah, I shall leave you in these capable hands," Xavier bowed slightly, making the girl on his back shriek.
"You almost dropped me!" Neko cried, tightening her grip on the black haired male's neck.
"It'd be so much easier to carry you around the other way," Xavier choked out. Neko sighed, hopping off of the boy and transforming into a small white cat with black ears and paws. The cat gave off a little mewl, eyes glinting mischievously. The cat clawed at the boy's leg, climbing up his body. Xavier winced every time Neko would claw at him, before grabbing the female cat and placing her on his shoulder and walking to class. Ailes sighed, gripping the strap on her bag and walking with Ken to their next shared class. The whole while, she tried to pay attention to the boy next to her, nodding and humming agreements and praises. The next class went by in nothing but a blur, she made a mental note to get the notes later. Soon enough, after two more classes, she was rejoined by the Angel of Death's older brother again.
"Can you please leave ma alone? I'm not something you can play with," Ailes said, eyeing the boy from the corner of her eye.
"Sorry babe, can't do that. As for you and I ever hooking up? Well, sorry, but you're more of a family member than a possible girlfriend." Xavier shrugged, hands down deep in his pockets.
"You think of me as family?" Ailes asked, cocking an eyebrow at the statement.
"You're the annoying little sister, Sapphy's the bitchy little sister, and Red is the one that hides away in her room all the time," Xavier shrugged, chuckling slightly. Gnawing at the black hoop at the bottom right corner of his lip he shook his head.
"Dakota's really testing my patience," He sighed, shaking his head at the thought of the blonde.
"Why? What happened?" Ailes asked, turning to face him.
"He's acting like a pregnant chick, asking about this and that. Whining about how he messed up big time. Yet he digs himself deeper in that fucking hole." Xavier shook his head and pointed to the blonde with the water sprite. Ailes could only stare as Xavier placed a hand on her back, lightly pushing her along.
"He's testing my self control," He said, eyeing the blonde as he passed, hand splayed out across the girl's back.
"Why are you doing this then?" Ailes asked, looking up into dangerous hazel eyes.
"Like I said, you're family. I always look out for family," Xavier smiled, eyes softening a bit. She looked down, eyes catching on the white bandage hanging from the boy's wrist. Xavier traced her gaze back to his wrist, chuckling lightly.
"It's not what you think. It's covering something that's not really something I like to show off." Xavier said, holding up the hand and playing with the bandage. It wrapped around his wrist maybe six or seven times, then wrapped around the juncture where his thumb and other fingers met.
"May I ask what?" Ailes asked.
"A tattoo," Xavier said. Ailes sighed, of course, they were always so cryptic. Walking into the cafeteria Xavier took his hand back and walked back toward one of the tables. Ailes watched as Sapphire smiled at her, beckoning her over with a wave her hand. Ailes complied, walking over to where the girl sat.
"So, Jan here-" Sapphire was cut off by the hand that slapped her in the back of the head. Ailes couldn't help but laugh at the girl and her brother.
"Never mind," Sapphire muttered, pushing a tray of food at the girl. Ailes sat down and cocked an eyebrow at the girl.
"I'm not hungry," Sapphire shrugged, turning back toward her brother and growling. Ailes heard her mumble something along the lines of, 'It's true, if I were Luke Valentine, you'd have to be Jan... You act just like it.' Ailes smiled at the two bickering siblings. The table quickly filled up, everyone taking their supposed seats. First was Red, followed by Jack and Castiel, who was followed by Mystie. Next was Scarlet and Jade, and Kay and Nathaniel. As the table filled, the chatter got louder, people shouting at others and spewing obscenities about random anime, shows, and music. Ailes smiled, glad to be away from the others for a bit. Sapphire's eyes snapped up, watching as the black haired water sprite walked over to the table, looking for a spot and finding one next to Mystie. Eying her green haired friend, Sapphire stood up and walked over to her, sitting next to her and placing her head on her shoulder.
"It's okay, you'll be okay," Sapphire giggled, using the voice a mother would use on a child.
"Yeah, yeah," Ailes mumbled, bumping her shoulder and nudging the girl's head off.
"Well, you've got me! I'm such a wonderful distraction, I am the most amazing Vampire alive... My brother is the most annoying."
"You're not a vampire," Ailes mumbled, shaking her head at the girl.
"Sure I am! I am the great Luke Valentine! My brother is Jan... We came to ruin your organization." Sapphire said, giggling at herself.
"Are you high?"
"No, drugs don't affect me... Unless it's Ecstasy, then, I'm fucked..."
"You seem pretty messed up to me," Ailes said, eying the girl cautiously.
"That's not very nice," Sapphire whined. She looked at the girl and smiled, shaking her head a bit before grabbing a fry from the girl's tray.
"So, are you going to apply for college with us, or are you going to apply to a regular school?"Sapphire asked, placing her head on the girl's shoulder once more.
"I'm not sure... We'll probably get split up..."
"Nah, Xavier's sleeping with one of the house owner's daughters... It'll work out, but you have to apply."
"Why do you want me there so badly?" Ailes asked, taking a bite of the last half of sandwich.
"Because, you're one of my besties, and you're too original to be brought down by some Ivy League bore. Our schools are ten-no-hundreds more fun than that, but it's your choice."
"Let me think about it," Ailes said.
