The Club

Three

"You're the new girl and your already getting beat up?" The nurse asks checking to make sure my nose isn't broken.

"I was hit by a ball," I tell her simply.

"I see. Well, it's not broken just bruised." The nurse says stepping away.

That's a relief but why did he bring me here? I don't understand at all, after our encounter in the hallway I would thought he would want to stay far away from me. So, why did he bring me to the nurse's office? I tried to focus on what she was telling me but it was hard when he was standing there by the door. I hate the aura I'm getting from him, and what if he wants to kill me for getting smacked in the face by a ball? Is he that much of an asshole? I mean, he does perform dark magic as Stacy proclaims and he seems to be the leader of that "gang" of his. I have to get out of here and go to my dorm room so I can call my mom.

"Try not to get hit by any more balls while you attend here? Okay, Miss McPurthy?" The nurse asks bored.

"Yeah sure got it." I mumbled as I stand up and walk past Grimshaw.

I felt my hairs standing straight up as I did so feeling a shiver run up my spine as that aura felt so strong. It feels stronger than the last time. I thought scared. I fast walk towards the exit of the school so I can head to my dorm room, but I can feel him following me. Take a deep breath Lonnie, he's probably just heading to his dorm room too. Yeah, just assume that he doesn't sleep in the cemetery like the psycho that he is. I wanted to run down the hallway but if he's not following me then I'll look like an idiot. I already look like an idiot. I thought as I gently touch my bruised nose but winced. This sucks. The first day and I get a bruise on my nose, and I have no idea if the person who gave it to me did it on purpose or accident.

"Does it hurt?"

I jump hearing Grimshaw's voice before spinning around to see that he's closer than before. Yup. I should have run when I had the chance. I gulp as I stared into his smokey gray eyes that feel like are burning into my soul. I just quickly shake my head before turning and quickly run down the hallway. Grimshaw didn't expect that, so I should have the advantage. Right? I shake my head as I push the doors open feeling like I can breathe now that I'm outside again.

"Where do you think you're going?"

I jump before turning around seeing Grimshaw leaning against the railing. How the hell did he get here so fast! I thought shock. There is no way right? I look around and didn't see any shortcuts or whatever, but then how did he get here before me? I glance at him before wondering if he used dark magic because that's what people do here. They perform dark magic at Leaden Orenda Academy. I thought this guy said that if I stay out of his way or something like that he will leave me alone in return. So, why is he bothering and following me all of a sudden? He's making me very nervous.

"To my uh dorm room." I stammered.

"Who said we were done here." Grimshaw asks coldly.

"Wh-what? I didn't do anything to you! I listened to your warning!" I tell him freaked out.

"Lower your voice new girl. I'm not here for that. I'm here because of that incident during gym." Grimshaw tells me annoyed.

"Why? What's it to you? Did you do this to me?" I ask assuming he was the culprit.

"Don't be stupid. I wasn't even on the opposing team, but I know who did it." Grimshaw tells me sounding bored.

"Okay? But, again what's it to you? You don't like me." I tell him confused.

"Don't be absurd. I'm not here because I care about you. Your just the idiot new girl who got in with money." Grimshaw says sounding angry.

"You think I wanted to be here? I never asked to be moved here or to be forced to go to this creepy-ass school! My mom did this to me because of her weird-ass boss." I growled at him.
