"I am ashamed at all three of you. You're supposed to be mature adults and yet you're squabbling over each other like fools. What do you have to say for yourselves?"
We all shuffled our feet in silence, ashamed of the way we'd been behaving.
"Right..." Tanith placed her hands on her hips and gave us all a glare. "Valkyrie and Fletcher, you both have detention today after school. Lake and Sian, tomorrow."
This made me very angry, although I didn't show it; we were here for the sanctuary, not so we could get another shot at education! It was so frustrating! Tanith, Ghastly and even Skulduggery had all lost track of what we were really here for and has gotten in too deep in the normal life. Was I the only one still fighting? It sure felt like it.
And Fletcher! He seemed to think that now we were attending a school, he could become a Royal himself! PRICK!
I just can't understand how they all lost focus so badly, I mean, come on! Davina Mar is at large! Does no one else care that she could be cause a shitload of trouble in this city and I'm stuck doing homework? I am almost twenty years old for Christ's sake!
I wasn't a happy bunny.
And I still wasn't a happy bunny at half three being kept back for a detention that I shouldn't even be having!
You known when they say, how time flies when you're having fun, and the opposite happens when you're dreading something? What the hell about if you're bored out of your freaking mind? What then? I'll tell you what. The clock about the effing door? Hasn't moved from the half three position in forever. And what's worse, is having a song stuck in my head that I can't even remember all the lyrics to.
Wake you up in the middle of the night,
To say I will never walk away again,
I'm never gonna leave this bed,
Well you say 'No! It isn't working',
And I say 'No! It isn't perfect' so I stay instead,
I'm never gonna leave this bed.
*Smashed head against the desk repeatedly* Fletcher? Oh he was fine. With his bag of gummie bears and cola bottles and his iPod that no one seems to notice. I can't listen to my iPod. Because he stole mine!
Poooooor Valkyrie. I know. I'm whining. But you would be too so hush.
Anyway, so Tanith gave us these silly detentions, and we were attending. And Tanith isn't even here. She's with the Janitor.
Ghastly. It's vile. Really. But, moving onto other things, it was just really, really, really boring, so I got up and started rooting through Tanith's desk. The desk was waist height and made of Oak. In the top draw were CD's by A Day To Remember, All Time Low and Paramore. I flicked through before dumping them on the desk, then rifling through the papers. In the second draw I found a head, a very ugly head, and a Thesaurus…
"What are you doing?" Fletcher asked from his desk, he had the left earphone in his had and he looked rather confuzzled.
"Non of your 3D haired business."
"That makes no sense." He sighed.
"Your face makes no sense."
"Stop being ridiculous."
"Stop being a Terrapin."
"A what?"
"You heard me, you Terrapin."
"The fuck is a Terrapin?"
"It's like a long necked turtle."
"I'm not a long necked turtle."
"You got something against long necked turtles, Mr. Renn?"
"No, but if I'm a Terrapin, then you're Scylla."
I stared at him.
"What? What's that? Wait, no, lemme check." I quickly grabbed the thesaurus and flicked through until I found Scylla.
"'A mythological Greek sea serpent who eats people from ships who tried to navigate between her cave and the whirlpool Charybdis?'" I asked, disbelievingly.
"… Yes."
"Screw you."
"No, go sulk elsewhere."
"Why don't you go back to your gaggle of Royals?"
"What? They're not my friends, Val." He stood up then.
"Well it bloody well seems that way! Have you completely forgotten why we're even here?"
"Of course not!"
"Well everybody else has! When was the last time we went looking for Mar? Weeks ago!"
"Val it was last week."
"Same difference! What have we been doing in the mean time? Getting an education? We don't need it! You've all become too accustomed to this life; somebody needs to wake you all up."
I folded my arms and leaned back against the desk.
"Val," he stood in front of me "Clearly, you're just getting a little frustrated about the situation, maybe you should take a break?"
"What like everybody else is doing? No thanks; I'd like to keep my job."
"You're being ridiculous!"
"You're being blind!" By now we were inches apart and screaming in each others faces, tension running hiiiggghhh. "I never wanted to come here! I wanted to stay in Ireland, and stop people like Spring heeled Jack, or Sanguine, not babysitting a bunch of blathering idiots who have barely hit puberty!"
"If you feel that way, why don't you leave?"
"Maybe I will!"
"Fine then!"
"Fine!"
We fell into a heavy pause, with only the sound of our heavy breathing filling the silence.
If he wants me to go, then I will.
I pushed past him; his tense body almost toppled to the side, and moved out into the hallway, power walking my way of out hell. I was halfway to my car when I heard a door bang open.
I was spun around gently within the next second and soft lips engulfed mine.
Fletcher crashed his lips to mine and something animalistic erupted in my blood. If felt like I had been kissing for years as I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. My hands immediately went into his hair and the taste of gummy bears mixed with his natural taste was interesting to say the least. His lips were the most succulent thing I had ever tasted in my life and I sucked his bottom one gently while he took my top one into his mouth.
He licked my bottom lip softly and I opened my mouth while moaning against the force of our kiss. Our tongues thrashed together and I didn't even think I took a breath the entire time that we stayed connected.
We didn't bother with formalities as our tongues collided in a wicked dance of wetness that I loved. I began scratching his scalp involuntarily as his strong hands massaged my hips. My skin was burning, my ears were ringing, and I was still pretty pissed. But, to be fair, he was a pretty good kisser.
I had to pull back when I couldn't breathe, and when I looked at him, he looked so shy and a pink tint of a blush spread on his cheeks.
"Erm…" He smiled, "Uh, sorry. About… back there… not about what just happened… but what happened, before that."
"Uh… That's okay…" I replied…
It was kinda awkward…
"So… shall we go?" He asked, finally taking his hands off my waist.
"Yeah. You coming in the car with me?"
"Mm, yeah can do. I'll just get Tanith to take my bike seeing as she got here this morning with Ghastly."
"Okay then." I smiled and turned to the Impala but before I could get in, he turned me and kissed me again. He was on a roll. The kiss was softer and less urgent than the one earlier; it sent tingles to my toes and left me breathless. I lightly pushed him off.
"Sorry… again." He hung his head. I laughed lightly.
"It's okay, just let me get into the car and we'll head back home, okay?" He nodded and I planted a kiss on his cheek. He popped into the car.
Twenty minutes later, I closed the door to my room and smiled lightly to myself.
He likes me.
