Devil Jr

Chapter 3

Nora basically forgets about the conversation we just had because instead of telling me more about this Zayden guy. She walks over to her dresser, grabs pjs and goes to the bathroom to I'm assuming shower. I sigh and quickly change into sweatpants and a tank top. I lay in my bed and stare at the ceiling.
     Why is this Zayden guy so important? I mean he can't be that important if he goes to a private school in the middle of nowhere. Unless he did something very bad and his parents forced him to go here.
     I mean he doesn't look like a nice guy. He looks like a guy that could ruin your life in a day. I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking this whole thing.
     Maybe he's actually very nice and the whole being mean thing is an act. He looks mean though. And tough especially with that scar above his eyebrow. I wonder how he got it?
     Did he get it while fighting someone? Or did someone hurt him like that on purpose? I mean either way it makes him look even more intimidating. But no matter how intimidating he looks I will not let him boss me around.
     I continue thinking about dumb things all night. Mostly because sleeping is definitely out of the picture. No matter how hard I try I can't sleep. My mind just keeps running and thinking about stupid things.
     So I end up looking out the window. I thought it was weird and creepy during the day. It's a lot worse at night with the only light around is light coming from the moon.
     It looks very creepy. Especially because the woods are very dark and it's so dark outside you can't even see the fence. Why is there woods there in the first place?
     When I think of private schools. I think of very fancy almost castle -like schools with pretty flowers and a few trees surrounding it. Not a huge building where the students' rooms are and then other buildings as the classrooms. And definitely no woods surrounding the place.
     "What's wrong?" I hear Nora whisper as she reaches over and turns on her lamp. I look at her and shrug. "I can't sleep." I answer and she frowns.
     Then she smiles. "How about we binge watch Netflix and eat junk food." I look at her confused. "Junk food? But the food is in the kitchen. And the Kitchen is closed." I quietly say and she smiles even more.
     She climbs out of her bed and walks over to her desk. She opens one of the draws and it's full of junk food. Chips, cookies, chocolate, little cakes, crackers, pretzels. A lot of junk food.
     "You're allowed to do that." I say and she smiles. "When your mom is the headmaster of the school there's a lot of things you can do." She says and winks at me. We call Ella to come over to our room.
     I smile and she smiles back. "So what would you girls like?" She asks and both Ella and I say "Chips." She nods and grabs a bag of chips. She then grabs a tv remote and I look at her confused. She presses a button and a tv comes down from the ceiling. "What the heck?" I say confused and shocked.
     Nora laughs. "Like I said when your moms the headmaster there's a lot of things you can do and get away with. You just have to be stealthy." I smile and shake my head.
     We end up watching Netflix basically all night. At some point Ella and I fall asleep. Because I wake up to a very annoying alarm going off. Nora groans and presses a button.
I'm not sure if she shut it off or just pressed snooze.
     A couple minutes later it goes off again. Nora goes to push the button again. "Don't you dare push that snooze button. It's so annoying." I quietly say. And move covering my face with the blanket hoping it'll block out the annoying alarm's sound.
     Nora giggles and shuts the alarm off. "Come on time for class." She says as she walks over to my bed and tries to pull the blanket off me."No." I groan and tighten my grip around the blanket.
     Nora sighs. "Come on Luna get up. We have to get to class. And before class we have breakfast. And at some point we have to get your schedule." Nora says.
     I sigh and slowly let go of the blanket. She pulls it off me. "Great, now get up. I already have your outfit picked out." I smile "thanks but I'm not 5. I can pick out my own outfits." That makes Nora laugh.
     "I know. I just wanted to try and help you a little. so you'd stress less." She explains. I slowly climb out of bed and walk over to the clothes she picked out for me.
     "Well thank you but from now on I'll choose my own outfits." She nods and walks over to her dresser to pick out her outfit.
     She picked me out a pair of my blue ripped jeans and a black t-shirt. It's a very simple yet cute outfit. I pair it with my black sneakers. I quickly brush my hair and take a deep breath as I look in the mirror.
     I can do this. It's a new school. Nothing super scary. There's nothing I need to worry about. It's fine. It's just an ordinary boring school. Everything will be fine.
     "Ready to go?" Nora asks. I nod and grab my backpack. "Do you want to get breakfast first and then get your schedule or do you want to get your schedule first." Nora asks me.
     "If you don't mind I'd like to get my schedule first so I can try to memorize the classes as best I can before they start." She nods and starts leading me to I'm assuming her moms office.
     Her mom's office is right next to the dining room.which is good, because if I ever need to go there to talk or to get away from the school I know where it is.
     "Hey mom, we're here for Luna's schedule." Nora says as soon as she opens the door. The office is very neat.
     There's a desk in the middle of the room with a chair across from each other. Then there's a few chairs on the side of the room. And a few plants are placed around the room. There's a bookshelf that's completely full with books.
     Aunt Mia's desk is also very neat. She has papers stacked in a neat pile. A few small plants are placed around her desk. Her laptop is placed basically directly in the center of her desk. And she has a pencil holder basically filled with pens and pencils.
     "She's not here, that's odd." Nora says and walks over to the desk. She looks around and spots a note. "Oh she laid you and Ella's schedule out." Nora says and grabs both of them.
     "Come on, I'm sure we'll see Ella in the dining room. We can give her her schedule there." Nora says and walks out of her mom's office. I quickly follow her into the dinning room. And just like yesterday I look around at how beautiful and nice it looks.
     Nora rolls her eyes and grabs my arm. She pulls me to the table we sat at yesterday. "Now do you want pancakes, waffles, French toast or eggs?" Nora asks.
     "There's a lot more than that over there." I say and point to the tables in the front full of food. Nora rolls her eyes. "I know but you didn't eat much yesterday so those are the options to choose from."
      I sigh, Umm, French toast I guess." She smiles. "Ok I'll be right back. Oh and if you see Ella can you give her her schedule." Nora asks and I nod.          
     I give Ella her schedule and she tells me all about all the friends she made and how they're so nice. And that they invited her to a sleepover this weekend. Which is very good. I'm glad she is making friends. I just hope she's careful. Because her friends could be fake friends and pretending to be nice just to hurt her later down the road.
     But from what she's told me about them they seem nice. She even told me how mom and dad called her yesterday and that they are really happy she's fitting in and hope we have a good first day of school.
     Though as soon as she said that I'm assuming one of her friends calls her over because she says bye and runs over to a table. Nora comes back with two plates, one for me and one for her. I thank her and start to eat the French toast. It is actually very good.
     The only thing that stinks is that my stomach is in a knot and I feel like I'm going to be sick. But Nora wants me to eat and I didn't eat much yesterday so I have to eat. "Hey newbie, are you ready for your first day of school?" Jaxon asks as he walks over to our table and sits down next to me.
     I sigh "I guess." He smiles "we'll where's your schedule we might have classes together." I get out my schedule and hand it to him.
     "Art eww, math gross, flight class ehh, ohhh gym, English ok, chemistry that's a good class." Jaxon continues listing the classes I have and commenting on whether he thinks they're good or not.
     He then tells me we have chemistry, flight class and gym together. Which I guess is good. But Jaxon said our schedules are made perfectly for us. Why did I get chemistry and flight class?
     I'm assuming flight class is like the history behind flying and how we originally created planes and had a lot of trial and errors until we actually made a plane that flies.
     Zayden and his buddies walk in. This time it's a lot more eye-catching than yesterday. They're all wearing black ripped jeans and a black t-shirt. Zayden has a cocky smirk on his face as he walks into the dinning room. He looks at me and I quickly look away. He rolls his eyes and walks over to his table.
     He sits down and everyone stares at him and his friends for a little. After a while everyone goes back to talking among themselves. I roll my eyes and look out the window.
     "What was that about?" Nora asks and I look at her confused. "That whole looking away from him. Nobody looks away from him." Nora says shocked and I shrug.
     "Well after that whole get on your knees thing yesterday I don't care what people do and don't do with him." I say and Jaxon chuckles.
     "What." I ask and he shakes his head. "Nothing. It's just that he will find a way to make you kiss the ground he walks on." I look at him.
     "So you kiss the ground Zayden walks on?" I ask and people around us gasp.
I look at everyone confused. Jaxon sighs. "Nobody says his name." He says and I look at him confused.
     I start to ask why but I'm cut off. "Poor new girl, you still don't understand anything." I hear Zayden say from behind me. I gulp and look behind me.
     "No one talks to me or about me unless they're told to. And no one and I mean NO ONE says my name unless they're told otherwise." He says as he glares at me.
     "Well that's not my fault no one told me that." Everyone gasps yet again and Zayden chuckles. I look around confused and basically everyone is staring at us frozen in shock or something.
     I spot Ella. And she looks just as shocked and scared as everyone else. So I'm assuming her friends told her about Zayden.
     Before I understand what's happening Zayden has his hand around my throat and is forcing me to look at him. "My eyes are up here. Look at me, not everyone else." Zayden demands.
     I gulp and slowly nod. "Now..." he looks at his friends. "How should we punish her?" He asks his friends and I gulp. Punish me?
     I try my best to move away from him but he tightens his grip around my throat to the point where I can barely breathe.His friends look at each other and then at Zayden.
     The guy with super light blond hair talks. "I have an idea on what we can do. It involves a pole,rope and a lot of water balloons." I gulp and Zayden smiles.
     "Let her alone, she doesn't know the rules yet." Jaxon says and Zayden looks at him. Zayden smiles "awww does someone have a crush on the new girl." He teases and Jaxon rolls his eyes.
     I try to wiggle out of Zayden's grip again. He moves his hand away from my throat and grabs my chin instead. "Stop moving you stupid whore." He angrily says.
     "Fuck you. If you want me to stop moving you'll have to make me." I say equally as angry as he did. He growls and tightens his grip around my chin.
     He leans towards me. "I don't think you quite understand who you're messing with." He whispers and I glare at him. "I know exactly who I'm messing with and I don't care." I whisper back.
     Zayden's friends start laughing. Zayden smiles. "Take her to the room." He says and walks away. I look around confused. 2 guys grab me and start carrying me somewhere.
     "Let me go." I demand as I kick my legs and thrash around trying to make them let go of me. That just makes them tighten their grip around me.
     "Stop it, I demand that you let me go now." I angrily say and that just makes them laugh. "We don't care what you demand." They say as they laugh. I roll my eyes and continue kicking and thrashing around hoping they might drop me.
     But they don't. Instead they just tighten their grip around me and carry me to whatever the room is. As I thrash and kick like a 2 year old that's having a temper tantrum.
     Finally they stop walking and place me in what looks like a jail cell. They put my hands and feet in these weird cuffs. I try to fight but fighting against 2 strong guys is hard.
     Great so now I'm in a dungeon looking thing and my hands and feet are cuffed to the wall. "He'll be down soon." One of the guys says before walking away.
     "You can't leave me down here. Come back." I scream but they just laugh and continue walking. I pull on the chains and scream for them to come back.
     After a while I know they're gone. I sigh and look around the cell. When my parents said I'd be going to school with my cousin. I did not think I'd be chained in some dungeon thing.
