End Time Cores

C12, The new kid (2)

Jessica's POV

I was trying hard to prove the worth of my actions to Hayley- which deep down I knew was wrong- when I caught a glimpse of him.

A very confused guy- strolling into the hallway.
He had the most ridiculous outfit on, but even at that he caught the attention of not just I, but everyone else in the hallway.
It had to be him. Even if diamonds were to be arranged on rag clothings, it would still look glamorous.

He began walking towards my direction. Perhaps he remembers me. Who am I kidding? Who wouldn't.

My heart was pounding inside with excitement, my stomach was growling. But then Hayley's words came crashing in.
If she as my friend thought what I did was stupid- What could be going on in his own head? Was he coming to befriend me or insult me?

It was at that moment I realized how stupid my actions were. Now I hoped he didn't recognize me.
But then some unexpected event rescued me from my almost traumatic experience- even if it wa-s Emer and her crew.

Some girls gunged up in front of him as he made his way towards where Aimy and her friends stood.
"Hi Wynn junior. I'm Emer Russell, you do remember me right- I invited you and your brother to my friend- Patricia's party." Emer said in an egotistic manner.

"Who could ever forget you." Harry replied snobbishly, which made her a little stunned.
"I mean, you've this- unforgettable air around you." He added, saving it.

"Oh, thank you. I always knew I was irresistible. Don't worry no one would disturb you. I'll be your school guide from today on." Emer concluded taking him by the hand and pulling him away with her- along with the many crowd of girls and the rest of the students in the hallway- excluding Aimy and her friends.

"Em, I've some stuffs to take care of at- the- lab. Catch you guys later." Aimy stuttered- speaking fast and nervously- before taking off.

"What's up with her?" Jessica asks confusingly

"Hm." Hayley hummed with a negative shrug- showing she had no idea.

"Lets just head to class." Jessica added, storming off. Hayley slams her locker, then headed to an opposite direction.

Harry's POV

I always thought my stepping into a school environment would be more natural and less frightening.
The look they all passed to me didn't make the situation any less intense.
It's either Richard's disguise didn't work, or they're just staring since I'm a new face in their school. After all they were just staring and not trampling me.

Amidst the chaos, I found something elevating. I spotted a girl that looked exactly like the girl I met at Richard's girlfriend- friend's party.
Could it really be her?

I was strolling quickly towards where she stood, when a herd of fancy dressed girls obstructed my way- and just like that- I was stolen away by the crowd- with my little grey of light pulling slowly out of sight.

After school
The leader of the pulling crowd wouldn't cut me a slack. I didn't even have enough time to investigate my mystery girl. The girl that has gotten my mind afloat for days.

I came to learn the reason I didn't get trampled when I walked in. Richard's disguise did no good cover- But his girlfriend did. She managed to get the school authorities to announce a degree against touching me while I'm within the school environment.
As much as I disliked her, I am kinda grateful for that. But that didn't stop them from trampling me outside the school.
Lucky for me, I got a considerate, loving bro.
