Karaoke Nights [ON HOLD]

Chapter 2

Scarlett's POV
We walk through the halls showing Seb certain rooms and giving him a quick run down on the cliques in school etc. I keep catching him glancing at Pearl which causes me to let out small involuntary huffs but thankfully nobody notices.

We head outside to where most of the students are sat on the bleachers watching the football game. Loud cheers can be heard from the crowd as our team scores, the name most people are yelling is 'Arlo', of course.

"Who's Arlo?" Sebastian asks us as he watches the game.

"He's the football captain, he also has a 4.0 grade average and plays the guitar." Angie gushes, a blush spreading across her cheeks as she gazed at him.

"He your boyfriend or something?" Seb asks making her flustered while Pearl and I laugh,

"She wishes, she's been like in love with him since we started at the academy but she won't even talk to him." I explain making Angie speak up,

"Erm I talked to him!"

"Angie, he asked you the time." Pearl deadpans making me snicker and Angelica pout slightly.

Our conversation is interrupted by the crowd going wild as the cheerleaders perform their routine. A petite brunette can be seen doing incredible flips, being thrown into the air, in the middle. Just watching the girl makes my blood boil so much I have to glare at the floor to keep myself from vamping out.

"Who's that, she's muy hermosa" Seb practically drools as he watches the girl perform making us all roll our eyes. (Very beautiful)

"That would be Aurelia Lunar; twin sister to Arlo, head cheerleader, she also has a 4.0 grade average and is girlfriend of the quarterback Ace Majestico." Pearl sums up with a glare in the girls direction while I keep my eyes trained to the ground.

"We don't talk about Aurelia." Angie states and Seb gives us a confused glance.

"You don't seem to like her very much."

"Well, she's erm.." Angie trails off while looking to me wearily.

"She's my ex girlfriend." I say bitterly before noticing all of their sympathetic glances making me roll my eyes, "I'm going to get a coffee, want anything?"

"Just the usual please." Pearl says as the others shake their heads, I nod before walking away.

Pearl's POV
"Was the breakup recent?" Seb asks, a guilty look on his face that he had asked about that she-devil in the first place.

"It was a few weeks ago but it was a bad breakup so she's still hurt; Lia becoming friends with Lilia Harmonia didn't help because that witch is a total bitch." Angie replies and I scoff quietly to myself, it wasn't just the breakup that hurt her.

I'm not saying that Scar wasn't hurt after they had broke things off; she was but not to the extent Angie believes. The reason Letty was as heartbroken as Angelica thinks wasn't to do with Lia at all really, well kind off. Yes Scar was hurt that Lia left her for Ace, but the werewolf was also part of the reason that Scar took her first life as she encouraged her to drink from the vein.

They had been out off campus in the woods and Scar had forgotten to feed in the morning. She was on the verge of vamping out so Aurelia suggested that she just drank a little from hikers nearby before compelling the memory away and leaving to find blood bags. What the wolf hadn't realised, is that Scar has the Ripper gene just like her sister, she's doesn't have control when feeding. Worst came to worst and she killed for the first time; she's been on an animal blood diet ever since.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts my a hand on my shoulder and an iced vanilla latte being held in front of my face.

"Here you go Pearly." Scar says, using the nickname from when she was 10 and I was 11.

"Thanks Letty." I reply with a soft smile which she returns.

Scarletts POV
"So should we continue the tour then?" I ask and the others all nod as we start to head off of the football field.

We walk through the halls and a smile begins to creep onto my face as we near the next room.

"This is Scar's favourite room, if you ever can't find her around school then she's probably in here." Angie explains as I open the door.

"The music room." I state with a content sigh as I gaze around the room.

"Wait why is this your favourite room?" Seb asks confused as I look at all the instruments.

"Scar has been teaching herself to play instruments since she was really young, she's really talented." Pearl exclaims making my cheeks tint pink slightly.

"What instruments do you play?"

"Well I learned guitar when I was 9 and from there I went on to learn ukulele, violin, and piano. I also sing, Pearl plays guitar, buts she's also the lead singer in a band and Angie plays the harp." I explain and he looks gobsmacked.

"Play something then."

"Okay," I start while picking up the acoustic guitar, "this is a song a wrote around a week ago, it's called Ocean Eyes." I sigh knowing full well who I wrote this song about before beginning.

(Ocean eyes- Billie Eilish//Cover- Alice Kristiansen)

"Wow, that was amazing!" Seb and Angie gush and I glance at Pearl who has a smirk on her face, her blue eyes staring into my brown ones. Shit does she know?!

"So..." she leans forward making me anxious, "you say you wrote the song, and it was a love song so which little lady have you got your eye on or is it about the she-devil ex?"

"No, it was just a concept, plus I like blue eyes." I shrug and she doesn't look too convinced but she leaves the conversation there and nods while Seb and Angie share confused glances.

"So do you play any instruments?" I ask him, taking the attention from myself.

"Nah I'm more of a sports and football kinda guy, you know?" And we nod in reply before the bell rings.

"That's lunch, you coming?" Angie asks and Seb follows her out and Pearl waits for me.

"I'll meet you out there." I smile and she returns it before running to catch up with the others.

I sit back down with the acoustic guitar before whispering to myself, "I just wish...", I shake the thought out of my head and then begin to strum another original song.

(Wish you were gay- Billie Eilish//Cover-Daisy Clark)

I sigh as I finish, wiping the tear that had managed to make its way down my face before putting my guitar back on the rack and heading out to lunch.
