I stand under the cascade of water editing from the shower head. That practice session was long and tiring.
"Man, my body is going to be in pain tomorrow for sure" Mike says as he walks into the stall beside me.
"Make yourself an ice bath tonight and it will help to heal your muscles" I give him advice before wrapping a towel around my mid-section and walking out of the shower room. I walk over to my locker and quickly dry myself before placing my plain black hoodie on and with my denim jeans. I rub the towel through my hair so it can at least not be dropping. I turn when my name is called.
"Yo. Mal. Did you hear about the new students in the good class?" Christoph asks me making me roll my eyes.
"I do now" I answer back in monotone. What is there to be excited about? We have new students. Big deal. It's not like they will find out what I am or my full name. I turn as the door swings open revealing my girlfriend. Not by choice. My father made me create a bond with her.
"Come on hurry up. Amon is apparently teaching the next class" Sophia says making me frown confused as I follow her out the door.
"Why is Amon teaching the class. Shouldn't he be doing the head teacher duties?" Mike says as he runs out the door with baggy trousers a vest top and dropping wet hair. I stare with no emotion before walking ahead.
"Oh like I know it would be easier if you asked Vivian. You know since she's a information demon" Sophia says. I walk into my next class and take a seat at the back next to the window so I can see outside. I wish I could escape these walls.
"Good afternoon everyone. Now let me tell you some history about us... Two hundred years ago to this day a war broke out between Demons and Angels. Unfortunately the angels made mortals see Demons as evil and that gave them enough power to win the war. Pushed out of their homes demons fled back to the underworld with their half-demon children. Some remained however and made a home in an abandoned mansion out of the way of angels and mortals. At the head of the group was none other than Lucifer Morningstar. However, one hundred years after the war, Lucifer returned to the underworld to squash down the rebellion that was happening there. Now we all know what Lucifer left behind. A women he adored and his two off spring. Half demon and half human" Amon says. I stare out at the sea bored. Why is he telling us what we already know? It's our history after all. I'm bored of this lesson.
"Malachi are you even listening?" Mr. Charleston asks making me turn to glare at him my eyes turning red signalling my demon is at the surface.
"Sure" I reply as my eyes dull to their usual brown. I hear him sigh but he doesn't respond. Why would he. Even though he is older I'm of higher class than he is so I outrank him.
"Why are we even talking about my father?" I ask not bothering to look over at them.
"Because we not only have humans joining the good class. We have a half-angel as well" Mr. Charleston answers. My eyes spring to his.
"What do you mean a half-angel?" I ask the same time Sophia asks "Do they know about Mal?" I bite my gum and take my hand out of her hold as soon as she grabs it. Shouldn't she understand that I don't like her. It's been two years and she still thinks she can get me to like her? This is stupid.
"They know Lucifer has two offspring but they don't know the power that Mal holds inside himself" Amon answers Sophia's question totally ignoring mine. This is annoying. I frown when the gates of the school suddenly open and a group of ten humans enter. A white-haired guy lz who looks to be around my age follows behind him. He's the half-angel. He suddenly stops walking and looks directly into my eyes. I quickly look away my breathing quickening. It can't be him. How come he is here? He shouldn't be here. I look back out the window to see him talking to the group of humans. So he's mingling with the mundane now. I should have known.
"Mal, what is it?" Vivian asks tapping my shoulder.
"Hmm, I think this is going to be fun" I answer.
"Malachi. Don't even think about it. Attacking an angel, even a Half-angel could cause a war and they could find out about you" Amon says making me tut.
"Who says I was going to attack him?" I ask.
"Wait what happens if they find out about him?" Lucas asks.
"If the half-angel or even the humans find out my full name they could trap me in hell or even force a pact on me which means I have to do as they command" I answer already knowing what could happen.
"Exactly. Did Lord Lucifer explain this all to you?" Amon asks making my eyes shoot to his.
"I wouldn't use the word explain" I speak up before looking back out the window. Not many people know that my father's ways of teaching me include almost beating me to death. I watch the gates close silently before looking back over at the group of mortals.
"Why do you keep looking at them?" Vivian asks me.
"The white haired guy. Who is he?" I ask.
"Hmm. Let's see... Carter Goldstein. Son of Gulliver. Half-angel. Says here he's just enrolled into this school after spending 6 years in a motals public school. Before that there is no information. He must have been in heaven" Vivian informs me. She's an information Demon so she can find out anything.
"Thanks Vivian" I say turning back and laying my head on the table.
