Star Academy

Part 4

JADE

I roll around one last time letting a huffing out a breath of annoyance I throw the covers off me. I haven't been able to sleep all night, all I could think about is what happened in the hallway with the 5. It's fucking annoying. I can't stop thinking about the fact that my life has changed so much, and now I have some of the most powerful people here after me.
"Ugh fuck." I mumble. I get out of bed and go to check my faeone to see what time it is. 4:00, so I guess I'll just take a shower or something. Fuck I didn't bring any clothes. Maybe I can talk to Ryder, see if I can get my clothes from back at home. I pick up my faeone and unlock it after a few tries. Let's email him. Oh good it's got everyone's emails, just got to find Ryder. I found his pretty quickly, and then started to write out an email. Once I was done, I put my clothes from yesterday back on. He better be up, I really need clothes and I'm definitely not wearing my outfit from yesterday all day.

I've been waiting 20 minutes for him to email me back, it's fucking annoying. Is he seriously not up, he's a professor I thought they get up early to plan everything or whatever. I continue to scroll through faebook while I wait for an email that's probably not coming. All of a sudden my door bursts open. I immediately jump to my feet, to see who just did that. Before I can do anything I'm pinned against a wall, and Ryders staring down at me. 
      "What? What happened?" He asked a worried expression on his face.
      "What do you mean what happened? Nothing happened?" I say confused.
      "You emailed me saying "Hurry up and meet me. I need to see you right now something happened." He replies, his emotionless expression back in places
       "Oh. Uh yeah," Okay I guess saying that wasn't the best thing ever. "No I'm good, I just don't have any clothes, and I was gonna ask if you could bring my back to my house to get them." I glance up at him meeting his pissed face.
      "Seriously, Madeline. You email me because you don't have any clothes? You literally were acting like some fucking demon tried to kill you. If anything serious happened to you, I would be to blame." He runs a hand through his hair, clearly stressed and pissed off.
      "Why would you be to blame? It's not your responsibility to protect me. So it wouldn't be your fault." This is so fucking confusing.
      "No actually I would be to blame. I'm the one that decided to bring you here, when the 5's parents told me not to. Your father wasn't the most liked person ever, so you have a lot of enemies." He stops and takes a breath. He looks down at me like he was deciding wether or not he should be telling me this. He still has me pinned against the wall, both of his hands on either side of my face trapping me. After a few seconds he finally starts talking again, "Your enemies include the families of the 5. They hated your father, mostly because he was one of the worst people to ever live. The 5 and their families may or may not also hate you because they fear your gonna claim the throne.  So if you were to be hurt it would be on me because the principal has asked me to protect you from all of this. I ignored what she said about it not being safe, and brought you were. Madeline you weren't supposed to come here, you were supposed to stay in the mortal world." He looks down at me, breathing a little heavier after his full on fucking speech. But why would he bring me here if I was in danger? If I was supposed to stay in the mortal realm why am I here?
     "Why?" I manage to ask. "Why did you bring me here then?" I add.
       "I- I can't tell you why right now. You'll find out soon enough, Madeline." He finally drops his hands taking a few steps back. "Your required to wear a uniform, so I'll have some sent to your room, and then you can order clothes online. I'll have some money transferred to your account." Fuck. We need costumes, that's 10x worse. Wait money? To my account?
        "What account?" I ask looking up at him.
        "Oh, right every student gets an account where every month money is transferred into the account. Of course this being your first day here you don't have any money in your account, so I'll transfer some over. Also because your parents were king and queen, after you graduate you will receive all their money. For now you'll have access to one of their accounts with only a fifth of what they actually have." So when I graduate I'm gonna be rich as fuck. I can get around with that, so that's what I'm doing stay here to control powers, and then collect my money.
         I walk over to Ryder and stand right in front of him. Before he can do anything I wrap my hands around him. He stiffens for a second, but eventually wraps his hands around me. I look up meeting his confused gaze "Thank you, Ryder."
       "For what?" He asks.
       "For everything. Bringing me here, fixing issues at home, and now all this it means a lot. And it's the most anyones ever done for me." And that was the truth. No one has ever really cared for me. No one's done anything like this for me. I'll always be grateful to Ryder for everything he's done so far, and especially fixing my issues at home. I couldn't live with myself if I knew max was still getting hurt.
        "Of course." He reply's in his deep voice. I let go of him and take a few steps back.
       "Well I guess you aren't a Grumpy Asshole all the time." I joke.
        "I have my moments," he says chuckling. "Now I have to go, your uniforms should be here soon." And with that, he was gone. Just poof gone. Fucking weird as hell.
