The Shadow Hunter

Chapter Ten

~~~Pitch~~~

I look for my class and when I find it I walk in still pondering on how Shady's being targeted by bad Shadowians. The teacher gives me my assignment and I walk to my desk and sit down in the chair. When class finished we had homework from Pg. 537 Problems (13-33). I should ask her when I get the chance to be with her alone. When I thought this I felt a bit nervous and somehow a bit happy to be with her alone. I stand up and gather my things for lunch. I see shady and call out to her.

"Hey, Shady!" I say to her . She turns around and looks at me.

"Oh, hey. What's up?" She responds. I jog over to her and starts walking with her to lunch.

"I was just wondering if I could have lunch with you." She looks at me a bit confused. Okay, I have to find an opportunity to be with her.

"You, want to sit with me at lunch?" She says surprised.

"Yes, is there a problem? Oh, do you have a boyfriend, because if you do I can understand!" I say rapidly not wanting to get into trouble already. Not that I already haven't...

"Hahaha, no not even close. I was just surprised that you want to sit with me and not the hot popular kids." For some reason I felt relieved that she doesn't have a boyfriend. I look at her and stare at her beautiful face. She stops walking and get nervous under my gaze. "Um, do I have something on my face?" I shake my head. I grab the pice of her hair that was covering almost half of her perfectly sculpted face and put it behind her ear that has two piercings.

"No, I was just wondering how they could ignore someone like you. Your hair is a lovely shade of dark brown and not to mention that your hair is perfectly straight with a bits of waves at the tips, and your eyes are a beautiful shade of brown, black and green." I start to blush with her but she turns around before she could see me and I was great full for that. Why the hell did I just say that?! I spoke without thinking. We continue walking to the cafeteria.

"Um, thanks." She says not knowing what to say. We walk to the lunch room and get in line to get Chines food. When we had our food I see Shady sit down with her friends. I start to walk towards them but I hear my name being called. I turn around and notice my Spanish teacher.

"Hello Pitch, I was very impressed during class on how much Spanish you knew, and how good it was too. Where did you learn so much?" She asks clearly interested. What surprised me is that a teacher is asking me where I learned so much, not the other way around.

"Um, my family travels a lot and we lived in Guatemala for a year, and Mexico for a year." I say lying to her.

"Well that's impressive, you learned it rather quickly." She tells me smiling.

"Um, thank you. Well I have to go eat before it's too late." I say trying to not be rude.

"Oh yeah, sure, sure. Sorry to keep you from eating." She replied fast.

"It's okay." I say and leave. I start to hear Shady and a group of friends talk as I get closer to the table. Although I can hear farther than a human so I could have heard them when I was talking to the teacher, but that would be rude.

"I heard that Pitch, the new hot guy. Picked you up with your heavy backpack and carried you to the nurses too." I hear one of the girls say.

"...Yeah." Shady responds to her.

"I heard he even stayed there with you until you woke up." I could tell that Shady was about to answer but I but in trying to get some information on why she would be a target for the shadow people. Well if she's the lost princess then I would maybe know why, but she doesn't look like the princes Shaliana and their names are different, but they do resemble quite a bit. I sit down next to Shady and answered for her.
