Okay, I know you all are really pissed off, but I just got my computer fixed... so, yeah. And I know that I have to make my chapters longer but as I update I also continue my story. I promise I'll start making them longer as soon as I get farther in the story. Anyways, I think I did put the color of the "stranger's" eyes. I did, right? Correct me if I'm wrong please! :) And thank you all for your wonderful reviews; I'll be looking forward to moree! :P

R&R

I woke up in the morning and got up and stumbled, sleepily to the window and moved the violet curtains away from my window. Trying to make the sun help me wake up, fully. When I saw my car in my driveway. I gasped and looked at it in disbelief. Blinking, rapidly to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. When I was done gawking I simply shrugged and went to get ready for ready for school.

I went down the stairs, fully dressed after a refreshing shower. Last night I had passed out straight on my bed out of exhaustion after using a bit of energy to get cleaned up and change. I grabbed a waffle and checked my messages. 6 New messages. 4 from Samantha's mother and 2 from Samantha herself. I deleted them after listening to the frantic, worried voices asking me if I was okay and where I was. Samantha's mother had taken me under her wing. I grabbed my school bag and jacket when something black caught my eye.

The cloak.

I picked it up and last night came rushing back to me. Him. The hypnotizing gaze and the strange bond I felt between us.

I looked at the cloak more closely. It was pure black and right on the breast pocket was a beautiful white and black crest with a tint of red. All in white and right in the center was the letter V embroidered in a fancy way. I looked at the weird designs that surrounded the letter. Not understanding them. I understood a couple of them like the red wings that were outlined in black. The other ones were... weird. I finally gave up trying and neatly folded it and tucked it away.

Then I looked at the clock and mentally cursed myself for being late three times in a row. I would get a detention for sure, now.


I sighed and trucked the detention slip in a random binder that I had grabbed from my locker in a rush then walked to History. I knocked on the door and the teacher opened the door and quietly ushered me inside. I shot her a strange look but obeyed, anyways.

I saw Samantha out of the corner of my eyes, sitting next to Landon holding his hand under the desk they were currently sitting at. His head was on the table and his eyes were closed. While she was writing something in her notebook. I went and sat down with my other friends across the class, not feeling like sitting next to Samantha because I knew the moment she would see me she would start firing questions at me, also since Landon was in my seat. And I was not ready for them, since I was feeling cranky from the lack of sleep. Throughout the whole class I kept sneaking glances at them.

"Sofia!" I heard someone call. I saw Samantha's head shoot up at the sudden mention of my name. I turned towards the voice, it was one of Aaron's friends, and Aaron wasn't in any of classes except for math.

"Yeah" I asked, curiously.

"We heard that you're going out with Aaron. Is it true?" He asked, the people around him bobbed their heads in agreement. I tensed.

"What? No, it's a lie. I'm not going out with anyone." I said, realizing that this was why people were giving me looks ever since I came to school, today.

"Really? Because we also heard that you both had sex in the backseat of his car" He said, looking at me as if he were challenging me. My jaw dropped to the floor. The whole class was listening to our conversation now. Even Landon had woken up from his sleep and was staring at me, intently. I ignored him and got up and slowly walked closer towards the boy.

"Where did you hear this shit from?" I asked in a low, dangerous voice. The teacher would have screamed at us to sit back down since the whole class was standing up now, if she wasn't so busy sleeping and drooling all of her desk.

"It's all over the school, that you guys had hardcore sex." He said, wearing a stupid smirk that I wanted to slap off his face that freaking second. I felt anger boiling in me, I laughed without humor. It sounded so familiar to me. This was the way I had laughed for months, for years. I was used to it. I looked at him.

"Don't worry my taste isn't that bad, yet." I retorted.

"Why are you denying it? Did he pay you to have sex with him? Because if he did, I'm next in line. "He said, leaning in towards me and raking his eyes hungrily over me. I felt disgust wash over me.

"What class does Aaron have, right now?" I asked, forcing a sweet smile. Trying to compose my anger.

"Why?" He asked, confused.

"I appointed him as my pimp. Gotta ask him permission, don't I?" I said, sarcastically through gritted teeth.

"Oh… Of course he's in the class across from us" He said. I stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind me pretty hard. I heard a faint thump, which I supposed was the teacher falling off her chair. Oh, well. I walked over to the room Aaron was in and yanked the door open.


Chace P.O.V

I sighed as I zoned out the girl sitting next to me. Damn, she talked a lot. I tried distracting myself by focusing my entire attention on voices in the other rooms. In the room across us, someone was having an argument. One of the voices sounded pretty familiar. I shot a look at Spencer, who was banging his head against a wall, out of boredom. He met my gaze and mentally sent me a message. This was Spencer's power he could send messages, mentally and also sometimes read people's minds if their current thought was directed towards him.

Hear that? He asked.

One of the voices sound familiar, right? I asked, mentally.

Yeah, it sounds like… Sofia, doesn't it?

My eyes darkened at the mention of her. I had been hearing rumors since morning about her sleeping with that idiot sitting 2 rows in front of me. The rumors bothered me a bit. Before I could reply back to Spencer. The classroom door was yanked open. There stood a beautiful but angry lioness.

After a few seconds I realized that it was Sofia who stood there. Her hair was fiery at the moment, flying wildly around her heart- shaped face. And her eyes were… Maroon? That's impossible. They were darting around the room as if a vengeful predator after its prey. One of her hands was curled up in a fist the other one was holding the door frame, tightly. She walked over to Aaron and whispered something in his ear.

He swallowed and looked around in fear then quietly got up to follow her outside of the class. The door was slammed shut, once again. Our stupid teacher just stood their, broadly sipping his ice cold coffee. Spencer got up and walked over to me.

"Did you see her eyes?" He breathed, shocked. I nodded, equally shocked.

"Saw her eyes? They were like almost red!" He said his eyes wide.

"That just happens to us!" He said, his voice getting louder. I shot him a glare and mentally snapped at him to shut his mouth. I listened closely to the argument right outside our class and smirked at Aaron's cowardness.

A couple of minutes later Aaron came back to class. His eyes were wide with fear and there was a red hand print on his cheek. He wobbled back to his head in his hands and was quiet for the rest of the class.

I thought of last night and what I said to Sofia. I regretted it deeply. I had been worried sick after she had just disappeared my sight. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. Though the part about her not being able to take a joke was true.

Then the bell rang and I grabbed my books and headed towards the door, where Spencer stood staring at something with wide eyes. I didn't bother to look at what he was staring at. It was probably a piece of gum that was a weird color or something. Everything fascinated this guy. I was almost out of the door when he grabbed my arm and pointed a finger to the door frame. I rolled my eyes and looked at the place where Sofia had previously had her hand placed.

There was a huge dent lying there.

I frowned and I felt Spencer's eyes shift on me.

"What the hell is she?" He exclaimed. I didn't bother to tell him to shut his mouth because that's exactly what I want to know, now.
