Morning star high

Chapter | 4

"Everyone run! Jayden pissed Sloth off"

"Oh shit cover me man"

"Fuck that, every man for themselves"

"I'm scared"

My head was planted firmly on the desk as shouts of "destruction" could be heard around the class. Normally I would be very interested but I had stayed up until well into the morning playing Mario Kart with Wrath, Pride and Juno.

"He's coming!"

"That's what she said"

"Dude that was awful and now is not the time"

I raised my head ever so slightly as the heavy double doors swung open hitting the back walls with a loud bang.

Sloth was the sole ruler of curses if I can remember right? So this guy most be scary as fuck.

I looked up at the door preparing my self to see this Sloth guy in action... but I was surprised.

I brought my eyes down making contact with a blanket?

There was a boy(?) Dressed green dinosaur covered blanket that flowed all the way down to his ankles. As he walked into the room I could make out small bits of purple on his black uniform meaning that he was indeed a curse. So this is sloth? I thought.

"Oh shit he's coming this way!" A phantom whisper yelled behind me. And indeed he was, his slow strides bee lined to the seat next to me which the blanket guy happily took.

His blanket was still covering him as his head it the desk causing a loud bang.

"Oh my god is your head made out of bricks or something! Are you alright?" I yelled out to the blanket.

No response.

He's dead... I just witnessed curse suicide...

"Too loud" the blanket moved slightly.

"Huh?"

The blanket deflated slightly as a long and kind of depressed sigh came out of it. Slightly tanned hands came out to remove the dinosaur blanket off him.

"Too loud" he whispered.

I could finally see his face. He had messy brown hair and light purple eyes that looked beyond bored. He had soft, almost feminine features; small button nose, soft jawline, pink plump lips. And freckles.

Lots of freckles covered his face doting around like a galaxy cluster. He was cute, if this is what the guys were scared about earlier I was confused as to why.

The boy looked at me as if waiting for an answer. "Huh- oh yeah! Sorry" my voice gradually got quieter. "I thought you tried to end yourself there"

The sloth looked at me with a blank expression until a look of recognition flashed in those purple orbs.

"Winter" he looked at me almost sadly as I nodded my head unsure of what to do next.

"Zhù nǐ hǎoyùn" (good luck) the boy said in a language I couldn't understand.

"Could you repeat in English?" I asked slowly incase English wasn't his first language.

He shook his brown mop and sighed sadly. "Doesn't matter".

I started messing with my pencil trying to do a cool "finger spinny pencil trick" when it slipped from my hand a flew off the table.

"Shit" I muttered about to get up from my seat when the pencil started floating back to me. Awed I reached my hand out to touch the pencil. I gave it a slight push as gasped as the pencil began to spin in the air a purple mist coming form the pencil making a gas ring. "So cool" I gasped.
