《 L A I K E》

A couple of second later, by that I mean like fifteen? Apollo jerked his head up in Darcey's direction, this time, his eyes were his normal hazel. "I'm warning you Darcey, do that once more, and you're dead" He said 'dead' in a very low voice, indicating it's seriousness, although Darcey did not take it that way. "I'll do it as many times as I please Apollo, just to make you a better person, but as we all know, you will never change, so until the day pigs fly, I will forever be there to torment you"

I love her. She really has some attitude, and it makes her amazing. I wish I had that confidence to not give a damn and just come out with whatever I was intending to say. Apollo was silent for the rest of lunch while we all just chatted and discussed classes, the football team and other things. "Laike, can I - talk to you?" Came a voice from behind me, I spun around in my seat to see Theodore Bennette, one of the so called 'elite' at our school after Apollo and his followers.

"Hi, um, what do you want to talk about?" Theo scratched his neck with his hand and the tips of his ears turned scarlet. "Could we talk, in private?" A girl with caramel hair appeared from behind him, she was dressed in a red and black chequered shirt with a black t-shirt underneath, black skirt, black tights and dark brown boots, I also noticed she was wearing a burgundy beanie. "What are you doing here Bennette? The football field's the other way?" Theo snapped around to her and his eyes went wide, "I just wanted to speak to Laike"

"Okay Theodore, what have you got to tell me?" The girl with caramel hair came over to the table where we were sitting and shoved Apollo further down the bench and sat where he was previously sitting. "As I said earlier Laike, can we talk in private?" I nodded and started getting out of my seat when Darcey pulled me by my arm to sit back down. "Anything you wanna say to her, you can say to us" She stated firmly. I was about to object when Darcey gave me a 'don't argue' look. "But it's like private" This time it was Aurora to speak up, "Talk or leave" Theo nodded reluctantly at her, "Fine. Laike, I was wondering, if you would go out with me?"

Silence followed for a few seconds before Apollo slammed his fists down on the bench, glaring directly at Theo, "She will not be going out with you!" He roared, the situation reminded me of a little mouse being hunted by a large cat, Theo obviously being the mouse. "What the hell?! I can make my own choices and have my own opinions!" I yelled, a small crowd now gathering around our yelling table. I looked towards Theo, his cheeks and face were now going red, and sweat started dripping off his forehead, and seeping through his clothes.

A small flame broke out on the sleeve of Theo's shirt, making him shake it and go into full panic mode. "Help! Help! I'm on fire!!" He cried, his voice coated in panic and desperation. I couldn't think, I had only seen fire once before then, and it hadn't been a memory I wanted to revisit anytime soon. The sadness and anger from the memory rising inside me, begging to be let out, until finally, something happened.
