An Angel For A Mate

Chapter 2

Gage's POV

"What a weird girl..." I sigh looking at what she wrote on my class sheet. It was a map and directions all clearly written.

Shoving it in my back pocket I notice my pencil is back where it was. When did she return it...? And how come I didn't notice...?

Going to my next few classes was actually easy thanks to Irei. Getting there atleast 2 or more minutes before the bell rings.

I saw that I had most of my classes with her. By the time I had lunch I knew the school and its shortcuts like the back of my hand.

Walking through groups to get to where Scar was sitting. I bumped into someone and saw that I knocked over their tray of food.

Reaching out quickly to catch them I saw that I was beat to it. The hand that shot out and caught them was slim and had faster reflexes then I di. Looking up I saw that it was a human.

*Maybe today's not my day....*

Raising an eyebrow I looked into the eyes of Irei and tried to apologize but she just nodded and walked out of the lunch room.

"Gage..?" Scar asked

snapping me out of staring at the door.

"Huh..?"

Looking over at scar giving her my attention.

"Wanna go get lunch..?" I asked cutting her off. Still a bit distracted.

"Sure but we better hurry before all the good stuff is gone." She eyed me knowing that I was distracted at the moment.

Irei's POV

*That was a close one...*

I thought to myself. I don't know why I felt like I wanted to be near him but getting comfortable or associated with one of "them" is not what I want at the moment.

Hearing a rustling sound coming from the tree behind me. One name came to mind.

*Christi*

Slowly setting my food down and getting up I quickly shot up the tree. Climbing quietly I snook up behind her.

"Hello!" I whisper loudly in her ear trying to hold back my laughter.

"Eeep!"she yelped loudly almost losing her footing.

"Why'd you scare me like that!?!" She yelled at me as I Pursed my lips mockingly.

"Because..." I draw out

"You were going to do the same to me." Smirking I lightly shove her. Smiling back she shoves me back.

Over exaggerating the shove I jump out of the tree landing on feet.

"Oh.." I felt someone behind me.

"Oh. Sorry.." I turned around apologizing. Looking at an adorable tiny girl.

"Hi! I'm Irei. You must be new here...? Unless I'm mistaken..." I smile at her.

Waving Christi to come down from the tree. Landing with a thud wincing a bit.

"You make it look so easy..." She said plopping herself on the ground near the tree. Sitting down myself I play with the grass.

"Wanna sit down with us...?"

"Sure. Thank you and yes I'm new here." She smiled at us.

Once she got settled down she introduced herself.

"I'm Scar by the way."

Raising our eyebrows at her, Christi and I look at each other.

"It's short for Scarlett.. My brother calls me Scar for short and it kind of stuck.." She shrugged off casually.

"Cool." I nod my head then point beside me. "And This crazy chick right here is Christi."

"Don't forget lovable!" Sang Christi smiling

Spending the rest of lunch with Scar and Christi. We were laughing the whole time. With Christi and I goofing off and Scar telling us about her bro.

By the time lunch was over all three of us groaned in union.

"That's the bell..." Christi pouted.

Gathering our things we said our farewells an walked in different directions towards our classes.

At the end of the day. Put away my things in my locker I head out of school. Walking towards a pond.

Sitting on a bench near the little pond waiting for Christi. We usually walk home together.

Cloud watching I hear Christi skipping towards where I was sitting. Well skipping and dragging a petite girl behind her. Amused I stood up and waved at them.

"Christi.. What's Scar ever do to you to make you drag her.." I asked pretending to be shocked.

"Apparently she refused to skip along with her.." A guy who I recognized as the new boy nodded at Christi walking up behind them.

Muttering angrily Scar shook her hand free from Christi's grasp.

"We'll she doesn't understand the importance of skipping so I dragged her along." Christi puffed out.

Frowning slightly at Christi I chuckled a bit at Scars face. She looked about ready to drag Christi's face on the floor and Christi just stands there oblivious to all of it.

"So you guys gonna walk with us..?"

"Hope you don't mind.." Shrugged Gage looking a bit... Uncomfortable..?

"Hey! It's no bother at all!" Christi smiled.

"A friend of Scar's is a friend of ours." I smile, giving the pretense of agreeing with Christi.

"Um.. He's my brother.." Scar smiled lopsidedly.

Me and Christi look at each other then looked at Scar then at Gage and starting bursting with wild laughter.

Laughing our butts off we gasped for air, trying to control our giggles.

We looked up to the amused eyes of Scar and Gage's confused ones. Which just caused us to laugh again but a harder and longer this time.
