"Silence" Book 1

Chapter 6 : Detention

As we were walking down the hall to the office Alastor asked me something.

“If you're told you have detention, you just get up out of your class and go there?” He asks, looking at me with his arms behind his head.

“Yeah, you didn’t do that in your old school?” I ask, turning my head.

“No, we’d just wait till after school and stay there for ten to twenty minutes, and then go home.” He said, turning his head forward again. I also do so.

“Interesting…” I softly say.

We get to the office, and tell why we were here.

“Okay, just sit back there.” the nurse says pointing to the detention room.

“Thank you.” I said to her,

Me and Alastor walk in there and I'm surprised to see some of my friends.

Sasha was sitting in the fourth seat in the front row talking to Alex, another one of my friends, who was sitting right next to her. Iru, my friend who I have science with, was sitting in the third row at the fifth seat, drawing. And someone I did not expect to see here. Angel. He was in the third row at the second seat, reading. Then there was someone who I didn’t particularly like. Hunter Oliver Rose. He was a bully, he hated me by far. I don’t know why though. 

“The teacher doesn’t monitor us?” I hear Alastor ask me, getting me out of my thoughts.

“Not usually, he lets us do whatever we want unless something happens that he needs to step in for, a student usually informs him about that.” I say sitting two seats away from Angel. Alastor sitting on the left of me being in the middle of me and Angel. I heard a chair move and then footsteps in front of me and when the person spoke I immediately knew who it was.

“Hey Damian! How’d you get in detention?” Angel said while I was looking up at him.

“Oh um, I was talking during class.” I said in a mutter.

“With who?” he questioned.

“With him.” I say turning to look at Alastor, who was on his phone but seemed to be listening because he looked up at us.

“Hi.” A shy, cute smile on his face and a slight wave. Cute

“Oh! You're that new kid! Nice to meet you, I'm Angel. You can call me Ang for short.” 

“Um okay, I'm Alastor.” he said looking up at Angel.

“What do we have here?” I heard an all too familiar voice. Even just by hearing his voice and not seeing his face, you could tell, he was smirking, and talking to, me.

“Go away Hunter.” Angel spoke up, going from his good mood to his “back off” mood.

“How about.” He paused for a moment walking to Angel.

“No~” He said, smirking, and then shoving Angel to the ground.

Everyone was watching now, and I'm sure everyone who saw me, saw me as a whole different person at that moment. I was standing up in my seat, my hands on the desk, with a fierce expression on my face. I could tell Alastor was looking at me almost horrified.

“Leave. Him. Alone.” I said gritting my teeth.

“Why should I?” He said as I glanced at Angel who was now being helped up by Sasha.

“Because.” I said, with a plan in motion.

“Because why?” He said getting in my face. “Huh?!” He shoved me to the ground.

“Perfect” I thought.

He stood over me.

“Not so tough now are ya’?!” he said with a too sure tone.

“Hunter Oliver Rose! Come with me please!” Mr. Ly shouted at Hunter.

Hunter swiftly moved his head towards him. He then looked down at me with an angry face. When he realized it, his face went into shock.

Let me explain what's going on. Even since Hunter has been bullying me, I kindly asked Mr. Ly, the detention teacher, if he could start to monitor us in detention because of this. He has been doing so on the cameras and of course the student kept telling him what was going on so he occasionally checks on us. I tell people he doesn’t monitor us and lets us do what we want, but that's a lie.

“You brat” he spat at me, still looking down at me.

“Hunter! Now!” Mr. Ly called again.

Hunter walked away with shame in his step.

“You okay?” Alastor said, concerned while reaching his hand out to help me up.

“U-um y-yeah. I-I'm f-fine.” stuttering as I take his hand and once I'm up I am so flustered I can barely stand.

“Well, that's good!” he says, letting go of my hand.

“He’s...argh!” I hear Angel say from the front of the class.

After...whatever that was, I head to my locker and grab my backpack and my jacket, and head outside for my mom to pick me up.

Then I got a phone call that made my day plummet.

“Hi, is this Damian Lycan-May?”

“It is, who's this?”

“I'm one of your mothers friends, Silva Fall, today she...she collapsed suddenly, we have her in the-.” I didn’t let her finish,

“Wait!? What!?”
