The strong urge to avoid someone or something

♡〰〰♡〰〰♡〰〰♡〰〰♡〰〰〰

I walked into my Japanese class, after Silas disappeared into the crowd.

As soon as I entered I saw Victor sitting in the back. He waved when he saw me.

I sat next to him, "I didn't know you liked learning Japanese." I said. Victor just shrugged. "Are you just beginning to learn?" I asked.

"Well, i think i can hold a civil conversation." He said causing me to raise a brow in awe.

"Wow. I'm impressed." I said looking at him in the eye , "Not everyone likes to spend their time learning a second language. It's really impressive."

It's true. Learning a language needs dedication. I know a lot of languages but for me it was different, I didn't have anything to do when I was living with my step mother and that lead me to learn new language and other stuffs.

Having a literal search engine in my mind and with technology on fingertips, it was a lot easier. I was brought back from my mussing as i saw a scarlett blush spread across Victor's cheeks

Which caused me to smile. He's so cute. I was about to say something when the teacher interrupted us.

"Good afternoon, I'm Dr. Sean Green." Dr. Green introduced causing me to focus my attention back on the class.

My eyes nearly bulged out and i couldn't bring myself to pay attention to whatever he is saying, as i stared at the guy standing infront of the class. In my astounded state, i made a low, surprised noise causing Victor to look at me.

All my focus was on the guy with sandy blonde hair and same mischievous green eyes. The same guy at whom people tried to shoot at, in a parking lot of the supermarket.

Feeling my stare, he looked at me and for a moment his eyes flashed suprise and shock before his gaze shifted to Victor.

He gave a barely visible nod, which I would have missed if I had blinked. That brought my mind out from its stupidor.

So Dr. Green knows Victor, which means he knew all the other guys too. That also means he's academy. Then about then the other guy with Dr. Green was with yesterday, might be academy too and might be their team. Which also leads to the possibility of the 9th guy with brown hair and steel grey eyes to be in the school.

That realisation didn't help me at all. Now, what would I say if he asks me about what had happened in the parking lot? In my pheriperal vision i saw Victor text someone furiously.

I ignored it, he's probably telling the other. All I need to do is, figure out a logically fake explanation. I can't tell them the truth. I also can't tell them I'm Academy since they would ask many other questions like why the hell am I in Ashely Waters Highschool or they might even report it to the organization directly.

I'm second guessing my life's decision.

If i tell them I'm just an ordinary girl, then they would question me about the gun i had. Well, maybe i can say it's for safety reasons. Then, if they try to contact my parents, which wouldn't cause any foreseeable problems, since I'll fake it too, obviously.

I can only hope they wouldn't connect dots and ask me questions that I'm not ready to give answer to. I buried my head in my hands wanting to groan.

There's a lot of possibilities, that it's hard to go through every single one and find solution. One slip up is all it takes for them to find out about me. To top it all off, I'm a bad liar.

As my initial shock wore off I heard Victor's voice with slight edge of panick, "Athena?"

Who's Athena? My head jerked up, when i realised that he's calling me by my fake name. Way to go, Sang.

"Are you okay?" He asked, concern etched in his face. I gave him a small smile and nodded, tuning into what Dr. Green is talking about. I already knew Japanese. And a hell lot of other languages.

Dr. Green told us to pair up and write things we know about Japan and it's culture. Victor and i partnered up.

During halfway through the class, Mr. McCoy, the vice principal walked in to the class and asked for victor. I don't know what it was but I definitely didn't like it. One look at Dr. Green told me he didn't too.

Something about him, urged my body into a flight or fight instinct. But in case of victor my instincts screamed at me to not let him go alone. I couldn't do anything. Other than sit there and hope he'll be okay. I kept glancing at the door hoping he'll come back safely. Dr. Green's worried look only caused my worry to increase.

It hasn't even been two days since I met these guys but something about them urged me to protect them. Not that they can't protect themselves.

I stood up as soon as the bell rang. I could track his phone but I'm not sure I want to do that. But if it comes down to it, then I'll do it. "Miss Sky, can I have word with you." dr. Green asked.

My worries about them finding about me had disappeared as all my focus was on making sure Victor is alright. I walked towards him as the students shoved each other to get out.

"Are you okay? You seemed nervous the whole class."

I nodded, "I'm fine, just worried."

"Oh, Wh--" he interrupted by the opening of the class door and the shift in the air.

I turned to see Mr. McCoy walking in and stopping short when he saw me. His eyes trailed from my head to toe and I had to suppress a shudder.

His eyes stayed a little longer on my exposed legs and chest. The only thing that kept me away from dashing out of this class was Dr. Green's presence.

"Your skirt is too short." He said with narrowed eyes. Then with a evil glint he added, "Maybe I should give you detention." This time I couldn't help but shiver.

"Mr. McCoy, I think her skirt is well within the regulation." Then he turned to me and said, "Stand straight and put your hands to your side."

I did what he asked me to do, wanting to get away from McCoy as soon as possible. I stood straight with my hands pressed neatly to my sides.

The skirt was an inch and a half longer than my longest finger.

"See, her skirt is well within the regulation." He said, then looked at me, "If you don't hurry, I think you're going to be late for your next class."

Then he whispered so that McCoy wouldn't hear, "Victor told me to tell you that he's okay."

I met his eyes to tell him that i heard him and taking my cue to leave and I didn't need anymore telling. With a nod at both if them, I rushed out side.

I stood outside for a moment catching my breath before walking to my gym. Mr. McCoy really gives me the creeps. And I'm going to avoid him like a plaque from here on.
