At the very start of this, Diana teases Isabelle. I know the remarks aren't super hurtful, but since Diana is very experienced at that kinda thing, she knows that Isabelle is such a baby that she'll get quite offended at the stuff Diana calls her. There's also some Caina in this chapter. There's also some Caina in this chapter. YAY!
Chapter Three
Isabelle walked through the cafeteria, looking for a place to sit. She walked to one of the emptiest tables, consisting of three people. One of them was Diana, and the other two were guys. They were both good-looking, one had dark hair, the other blonde.
"Hi, Diana!" Isabelle said. Diana's dark eyes glared at Isabelle's green ones.
"Hi, Isabelle," Diana smiled. "Why don't you go sit over there with those other girls, you I think you guys have stuff in common! I mean, you all look like someone's vomited pink all over you." Diana smirked as she pointed to a table of other girls all dressed in pink. Isabelle was taken aback. At her old school, all the cool girls wore all pink. Clearly, it was a different case at Coates Academy.
"How did you even get in here?" Diana smirked. "Did you go over the legal amount of pink per person?"
"Actually, I got in here because I robbed a store once. My parents only sent me here because my brother is such a handful, and they thought they may as well get rid of me while they had the chance." Isabelle sniffed as she turned away from the trio. She approached the table of pink girls and asked to sit down.
Drake smirked. Although he hated Diana's guts, he had to admit, that girl's reaction was pretty funny. His hatred for Diana soon began to come back to his mind, and he thought I would have done a much better job than that. I'd have beaten her to a pulp. Drake then proceeded to imagine making Isabelle Dawson cry as he ripped out her pet rabbit's (he assumed a girl like her would have one) insides. Drake was snapped out of his fantasies as Caine and Diana announced to him that they were going back to their dorms. As the two left, Drake sighed. Not having anything better to do, he stood up and left the cafeteria in hopes of finding some wimpy new kid to terrorize (although that was one of his favorite things to do).
Diana entered her dorm to find Carmen, Iris and Delilah inside. They glanced up as Diana entered.
"Hi, Diana, good to see you." Iris smiled. Diana liked the fact that whenever Iris spoke she was not squealing like a little girl getting a new Barbie doll.
"Hey Iris." Diana grinned back at her. Diana's dark eyes were drawn to the third bed in the room: Isabelle's. The bedcovers were pink and white, and the majority of the décor around Isabelle's space were pink, and the remainder were either white, black, purple or red.
"It's, erm, a rather, um, lovely colour scheme your new roommate is going for, isn't it?" Delilah, the most 'proper' one of the girls, joked. The other three laughed along with her, until someone crashed the party.
And it wasn't Isabelle.
Or Kyle.
It was Caine.
Diana knew it was him, because ever since Caine and Diana arrived at Coates, they both knocked precisely four times when at each other's dorms. Diana stood up and promptly answered the door.
"What do you want, Caine?" She sighed, with slight anger seeping through her voice.
"I, um, wanted to talk to you, but if you're busy, we can talk another ti-" Caine was cut off by Diana.
"Girls, I'll be back soon." Diana placed a hand on Caine's chest and pushed him out the door softly. She stepped out and shut the door.
"What is it?" Diana asked.
"Well, um, never mind." Caine seemed to have lost some courage. Diana smiled in her mind.
"Is that what you wanted to tell me?" She teased. "Didn't have anything better to do?" Although she would never, ever, ever tell a soul, Diana was, to be honest, hoping Caine would ask her out.
"Well, um, I-" Diana once again cut him off, but this time not with words.
Caine was blown away. He had been planning on asking Diana out, but he had lost his nerve. Great, he had thought. Interrupt her time with her friends and then sound like a bumbling idiot. Perfect start, couldn't ask for anything better. But it all changed when she kissed him. For a moment, Caine couldn't breathe or think straight, but he then pulled himself together. He moved his hands onto her waist and she moved hers onto his shoulders. Caine didn't know how long it lasted, but Diana abruptly pulled away, red in the face.
"Dian-" Caine was yet again cut off, this time by Diana retreating back to her room. In anger, Caine focused his mind and toppled a plant-pot over. Since last year, Caine had discovered he had some kind of power; giving him the ability to move objects with his mind. Diana called it telekinesis. Diana, on the other hand, was able to accurately record the level of power another person had. Diana had read Drake, but he had no sign of The Power, as the trio called it. Caine sometimes wondered if there were other kids with The Power at Coates, but he was yet to find out, although he planned to. Caine sighed, thinking that Diana probably wanted some alone time. With a heavy heart, he trudged back to his dorm.
An entire week had passed since Kyle had arrived at Coates. He had tried to talk to the girl he had met in the parking lot, but he didn't get a chance. Diana, he was told her name was, seemed to always be around the dark haired boy, Caine.
"Caine," Kyle muttered the name poisonously under his breath. Why did Caine get to be close to Diana? Why did Caine get to be the one who Diana flirted with? And why was Caine allowed to flirt back? Caine was attractive, Kyle understood that. But, in his 'humble' opinion, Kyle thought he was so much more appealing to the eye than Caine was. Kyle also hadn't been able to hang with anyone cooler than Caleb, who was considered a bit of a loser. Kyle thought he would be able to hang around 'the coolest of the cool', but all hopes of that vanished when he found out that Caine was considered 'the coolest of the cool'. However, he had been able to get the attention of a kid named Benno, and was hoping to become friends with him. Anyway, he had caught up with his sister, Isabelle, who, in fact, was the roommate of Carmen Silver and Diana Ladris. The Diana Ladris. So Kyle got the room number out of her and was now standing at their door, about to knock. He rapped sharply on the door. It swung open with Diana Ladris standing there, hands on her hips, leaning in the doorframe. When she saw who was there, she slammed the door shut again.
"Diana, wait! I want to talk to you!" Kyle called, banging on the door.
"Shut the hell up, Kyle! Leave me alone!" Diana screeched, although her voice was muffled.
"It's because I'm not Caine, isn't it!" Kyle snarled. The door suddenly flew back open, Diana's fist made hard contact with his face, and then BANG! The door was once again closed. Kyle swore loudly and headed back to his dorm.
