CHAPTER TWO

Kira sighed at the sight of everyone talking widely and excitedly with each other. Her hands gripped her blue tray tightly as she looked around for a seat; she spotted an empty table but then noticed that a boy was sitting at it. Kira raised her eyebrows and shrugged and continued towards the table. On her way towards the table she noticed a few stares directed towards her which caused her to feel slightly uneasy.

Kira quickened her pace and soon reached the table. She placed her tray down and sat across from him.

At the sound and at the presence of someone else, the boy looked up with a stony expression.

"Did I say you could seat here?" he said icily.

His voice was deep and husky which gave him an edge. He wore a black t-shirt with a red long sleeve underneath. Kira noticed the leather jacket and agreed that he was definitely going for the whole bad-boy image.

"No but I'm sitting here anyway," she replied simply not bothered by his tone.

"No one sits here but me," he said his eyes boring into her.

Kira cocked her head to the side; something about him was oddly familiar.

"Well, that's about to change," she replied back, her body leaning forward, trying to show her confidence and determination through her glinting green eyes.

"You're going to regret that later," the boy, whose name still remained unknown, said.

Kira shrugged and once again looked at him closely. The way his jaw was shaped and the way his eyes mocked everyone gave a weird feeling to course through her body, he was way too familiar but Kira couldn't exactly remember where she had seen this boy from.

"You know you look oddly familiar," Kira said after a long silence.

She watched him flip through another page in his paperback book. She could tell he was getting irritated and noticed the book in his hand turn a darker shade of brown. Before Kira could say another word he grabbed his jacket and left Kira stranded there looking after him.

She simple rolled her eyes and picked at the slightly disgusting food that sat before her.

Kira could feel stares at her from every direction which caused the unsettling and uneasy feeling to once again ring through her body. She let out another sigh and was about to get up when long, stiff arms wrapped around her waist.

"Well if it isn't the newbie," a husky voice whispered against her neck.

Kira breathed in a shaky, deep breath as she closed her eyes briefly.

"W-What do you want Lash?" Kira said trying to be strong.

"Can't I accompany my new classmate?" Lash asked innocently as he wrapped his arms tighter around her waist bringing her closer to his body, while once again breathing deep on her neck.

Kira shuddered, mentally cursing herself that Lash was seeing her at such a vulnerable moment.

"Let go," she said forcefully as she pondered into his brown eyes which were way too close for comfort.

Lash smirked and untangled his long arms before sauntering away back to his table, where Speed was currently sitting at, leaving Kira breathless and most of all confused.

"Hey, umm you okay?"

Kira looked up and envy wrapped around her like a blanket at the sight of piercing green eyes. She inwardly glared at the girl out of jealously. Kira was jealous of the girl's lively green that was a huge contrast to her own boring ones but Kira shook off the negative thoughts.

"Yeah, f-fine," Kira said now controlling her breathing.

The girl smiled and sat across from her, taking up where the 'bad-boy' once sat.

"I'm Layla Williams. You sure put on quite a show in gym class," the girl, Layla as Kira just found out, said with a smile.

"Oh, um thanks. I'm Kira. You have a nice name," Kira said smiling.

She was thankful that someone was talking to her.

"Thanks you have a nice name too, Kira? Never heard of it before"

"Yeah, it's Japanese. My mom thought it would be cool since I'm half," Kira said once again poking at the pile of "food" that was on her dish.

"Cool. Listen, um I saw you hanging out with Lash and-"

"Don't worry. I wasn't messing around with him. I'm sorry, I didn't know. I don't want to mess with your boyfriend-"

"I have a boyfriend and it's definitely not Lash so no worries. But I just wanted to warn you about him. He's trouble and from what I can tell about you, you definitely don't want to be messing with Lash," Layla said with a laugh even though Kira could tell she was serious.

"Oh, well thanks. I guess," Kira said, unsure how to respond to the negative comment.

Another bell rung through the school signalling lunch was now over and that students were to resume back to their classes.

"So I-I'll see you later?" Kira asked unsure if she could consider this girl a friend.

"Probably not. You're a hero and I'm a sidekick but maybe I'll see you on the bus," Layla said with a smile.

Layla left to go to class without another word. Kira smiled lightly and went towards her own class, Foundations of Mad Science.

Kira didn't realize that more trouble was heading her way.
