Alex's POV

I straightened in my chair. My heart was beating fast and my palms were slippery with sweat. I glanced around the room, noting an empty chair at the back. It was still 2 minutes until lessons officially started, so I got up and moved to the spare seat. It was a more strategically safe place. I had a thick wall behind me, and a good viewpoint of the class. I slipped my phone and earphones out of bag, and carefully turned them on. I pressed the earbuds into my ear, using my hair to cover them, and pressed play on the music I had selected. There. Now I wouldn't be able to hear the sounds of the torture video my teacher was going to play. I twisted round on my chair, and faced the wall on my left. I now didn't have to watch the video, and it seemed like I was just a normal, bored school kid.

Mr Garner pressed play. The sound of screaming filled the air, and the noise of a whip slicing the air rebounded off the walls. I winced and turned up the volume on his earphones. The walls seemed to be closing in. I glanced around the class, some people were watching in fascination, but, I noted, only a few seemed to actually enjoy the video. One boy had thrown up at the first sight of blood. Weak. He wouldn't survive just one day of my life. Mr Garner noticed me sitting at the back and frowned.

"Rider, would you like to explain why you aren't watching the video." He questioned, his voice clipped and tone short.

I immediately shut off all outward signs of my emotions. Keeping my face blank, I turned to look at him.

" This video contains inappropriate content sir" I said. " So, technically, you are breaking the school rules by even showing this to us."

" Bah! ridiculous!" Mr Garner responded. " I sent a letter home to your parents explaining I would be showing torture videos"

A voice near the front piped up. "Actually Sir, you sent home a letter saying, to quote "Mild topics will be discussed but not shown, and therefore, you are breaking the school rules, the law and our parent's trust. If anyone here wishes to press charges, then you will be facing jail time of up to a year." My classmate smiled scathingly " Sucks to be you, doesn't it?"

Mr Garner glared at the kid and stuttered out a few words before muttering a swear word and storming out of the classroom.

An: Hello Lovelies! The reveal will take a while. This story is more of a side project, so the updates will be random until I finish my other stories. ( I'm not even sorry for this shameless self promo :Go check them out and review them) I wrote this at 3 in the morning, so any mistakes are my own. Also, do you want Alex to have a love interest. If he does I'm leaning more towards having a male OC as a love interest instead of Sabina, a female OC, or Yassen. But yeah, it's up to you guys. Review! Bye Lovelies!
