Star Academy

Part 5

         JADE

"FUCK!" I yelled making everyone's heads turn to me. But I didn't care, I just let some vampire fucking drink my blood, and then speed off like nothing fucking happened. I should have fought back. Done something other then just let him do it. Those last words "not being able to fight him off" pissed me the fuck off. Who does he think he is telling me that. I'd just allowed him to have a free drink without fighting off at all, of course I'd fight in the future but at that moment I didn't. Couldn't he be thankful for it. The magic in my body was running through my veins begging for my to release it. So I did. I'd conjured fire, a big fireball sitting in the palm of my hand. It just kept growing, and I couldn't control it. I blasted it across the room, it went just above everyone's heads and landed at the back wall. It quickly lit on fire, causing everyone to scream.
      "Oh shit. That's like the first time I've used magic." I say watching the fire get bigger. Multiple teachers came rushing into the fab, and students with the water element were conjuring water. They were trying to stop the fire, but for some reason nothing anyone did was working. Even the teachers were trying to put the fire out, but nothing worked. I quickly stepped over to it conjuring water myself, I wasn't sure how to do it but hopefully it works out. Water burst from my hand and I aimed it towards the fire I'd started. And thankfully the fire went out after that. I tried to stop what I was doing but it didn't work out so well hitting a teacher in the face with the water. The impact causing her to fall over.
       "Shit Sorry. I'm not sure how to control this yet." I apologize still trying to figure out how to stop this. Everyone was looking at me like I had 10 heads, but I could only feel the pull to 5 certain people. For some odd reason my magic was calming down, and I wasn't blasting water out of my hand anymore. But I was ignoring everything else in the room when my face landed on the the five, well the 4 guys, and then Ryder who was standing right beside them. They were all glaring at me like I'd just shit in their cereal. Fuck what did I just do.
       "Shit Jade. What the hell was that?" I heard one of the professors say from behind me. I looked away from the 5 of them, and was facing the professor I blasted with my water.
       "Fuck I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that, it kind of just happened. It won't happen again." Although I'm sure it will happen again. And I'm honestly not sorry, she looks like a bitch.
        "Yeah it better not. You'll have a detention on Saturday with me. And here's a little punishment for now." Fuck. She started doing something with her hands, but before I could do anything water was pouring down on me.
       "Fuck!" I looked down at my arms seeing that the makeup was washing off. They can't see them. Tears were threatening to fall and I couldn't be here anymore. I turned around and ran to the exit, where Ryder and the five still were. Multiple people were calling my name, but I ignored them. Ryder seemed to realize why I was freaking out by the way he was looking at me. I knew people could definitely see the cut on my face now. I quickly exited the fab passing right by them. I turned around to see them all looking at me already. They looked confused, and were probably wondering about the scar on my face. Hell the scars all over my body if they could see them. But I don't think they did they were only focused on my face. I turned away, and ran down the hall. I hope I'm going the right way, I just have to get to my dorm.
——————————————
I made it to my dorm and already changed. I missed my first class, but that was fine. I could not deal with everyone finding out about my scars. I've always hated them, especially after I was bullied for having them when I was in school. Once I was 16 I had enough of the bullying so I started covering the scars the best way I could. I started to feel insecure about my body, so I started wearing hoodies, and baggy pants all the time. I went down a dark path that year, and once Zane adopted me Max pulled me out. The things I did that year, and what I did to myself. I can't even think about it anymore. I've been doing my best not to fall into old habits, but I have a feeling this academy might just cause it again. 
          My next class starts in ten minutes, so I have to hurry up. I get off my bed and make it to the bathroom so I can put more makeup on. I guess it's useless to cover the scar over that takes up half of my face. I'm still going to cover up the other scars, because I know no one saw those. Right when I'm about to start putting the makeup on, a loud thud comes from my room. I walk out of your bathroom to see Ryder standing there.
        "You weren't at your first class." Ryder stated.
        "Yeah no shit. What are you doing here?" Who the fuck gave him the right to burst into my room like he owned the place.
        "One, I was asked to walk you to your next class because you didn't show up to your other one. We don't want you missing another class do we? And two I wanted to see if you were okay. I know you were abused my Zane, and I'm assuming that's why you were out of there so quickly. So no one would see the scars, like the one of your face." I looked up meeting his eyes. He actually looked concerned, like full on fucking concerned.
         "Shit is the big bad grumpy asshole actually concerned?" I said, a laugh slipping from my lips.
        "Fuck off, Mads." He sounded mad, but clearly he wasn't. He started to chuckle too.
         "So your not covering that scar?" He said running a finger over the scar on my face. He finally broke contact with me, his gaze roaming over my body. Why is he so- holy fuck the scars aren't covered.
        "Fuck." I mutter. He snatches my arms looking at both of them.
        "You... you did that... to yourself? Fuck, Mads. I didn't realize your life was that bad that you were hurting yourself. Are there... any more?" He asked hesitantly. I mean he's already seen everything else, what's showing a few more. Tears were threatening to fall, but I held them back.
        "Yeah." I mutter. I start unbuttoning my shirt, I felt Ryders heated gaze on me, but I didn't pay attention to him. I continued to unbutton my shirt until it was completely open. I slid the shirt off my shoulders, and put it on my bed. I looked back at Ryder but he was only paying attention to my stomach, and chest.
         "Shit. I'm sorry Mads. I didn't think things were that bad. I could have done something if I could have found you earlier. You wouldn't have had to go through all that pain if I had just-" I cut him off before he can say anything else.
         "Don't blame yourself Ryder. You didn't do this to me, and there's nothing you could have done to find me. You didn't do anything wrong, hell you even fixed problems with Zane once you found out what was going on." I walk over to him grabbing his hands. I was full on crying now, but I didn't pay attention to it. I just let the tears fall for once.
        "None of this was your fault, this-" I gesture to myself, "was the abusive assholes I had to live with fault. Not yours." I choke out. He stares down at me unsure what to say, but he brings me in a hug. I wrap my arms around his torso and pull him closer.
        "I'm sorry you had to go through that. No one deserves that." He mutters.
        "Thank you, Ryder. For everything you've done." I looked up at him.
"Of course. Anything for you." He replies glancing down at me. He sit like this for a few minutes.
"Okay come on Mads. You have class, you can't skip this one too." He says trying to take a few steps back. But instead I just pull him closer.
"Come onnn, why can't I just skip." He pulled back, his hands resting on my shoulders.
        "No you can't, you'll be in big trouble, mads. Your already late, you have to be there. Now go put your shirt back on.
       I groan, but decide to listen to him. I turn around going to pick my shirt up. But before I do  I feel hands on my hips. I go to turn around but Ryder just tightens his grip.
        "Fuck, I didn't know there were more." He says.
        "Yeah." I reply shrugging like it was no big deal.
       He spins me around, my eyes instantly locking with his.
      "Fuck Mads. I'm sorry, I should have been there for you. Or something. I can't believe you had to go through something so shitty you were left with all these scars. I wish I knew. Or hell," He huffs our a breath, "I wish someone knew so they could stop this."
       I put my hands up grabbing his face with my hands. "Stop with that. It's fine, most of it happened a while ago, and no one could have known because I didn't tell anyone. I was scared as shit that things would get worse if I told anyone about them, so I didn't. So don't blame this one you, or anyone else. This is on the assholes who did this to me, and mostly myself for not saying anything." I say dropping my hands, and attempting to turn around. Instead I'm pulled even closer to Ryder, if that's even possible. He lets out a low growl, his fangs showing.
         "Don't you dare fucking blame yourself. It's not your fucking fault that someone decided to do something so shitty to you that you were forced not to tell anyone. You were scared, that's not your fault. Don't you dare fucking blame yourself for that shit. And your wrong, not all of them were a while ago." He growls out. His hand moving over the huge cut I had on my stomach.
        "Okay I'm sorry. Now let's go, I thought I had to go to class." I say letting out a small chuckle.
         "Fine." He says releasing me. I turn around and put my shirt back on. Quickly buttoning it back up.
        "Okay let's go." I turn around and run over to him. I jump onto him, wrapping my legs around his waist, and my arms around his neck. He lets out a grunt before his hands moved to my lower back to hold me up.
        "And why did you jump on me?" He asks.
         "Your vamp speeding me to my class so I'm not more late than I already am. And I'm not going over your shoulder again, that shit was just annoying." I say looking at him. Our faces just inches apart.
        "Well I can't fucking run like this." Oh- that's true.
        "Ugh fine I'll go on your back." I say dropping down to the ground. He turns around, and I quickly jump up on him.
        "Okay let's go before i change my mind, cuz that shit awful as hell." I say clinging on to him like if I let go I'll die.
       He lets out a chuckle, the sound sending vibrations through my body. Hell his laugh is hot. "Okay, boss." And with that they were off. Ryder ran all the way to my class stopping at the door to let me off.
"Thank you!" I say going to give him a quick hug. But I realize something.
"Fuck! Ryder you have to take me back. Right now. I can't go in like this, not with all the scars showing, I don't need people asking questions." How the hell did I forget to cover them.
"It's fine I'll do an illusion spell. It'll cover them up to anyone who looks at you." Fuck thank god.
"Are you sure? I don't want anyone seeing." I say looking up at him.
"Yeah it will work, just don't let anyone really close to you. If they are close enough they could possibly see them." Well that's easy enough, no one is usually close to me anyways.
"Okay that's easy enough. Thank you!" Thank god. I really didn't feel like having to go all the way back to my room. Ryder was quick with his work, he did the spell in just a few seconds.
"Done. No one will be able to see them, besides you." He says after finishing.
"Okay thank you. And you didn't cover the one on my eye right? Everyone already seen it so it's not that big of a deal if I show it now." I can't believe out of all my scars, someone had to see the one on my face. I hate that one the most, it's so fucking visible, and of course in the weirdest spot possible for a fucking scar. Like fuck Jerold for doing that.
"Oh yeah no I didn't cover that one. I actually completely forgot about it, I was just working on the ones in your arms and legs." Okay then. That works I guess.
"Okay thank you again Ruder, it means a lot." I say pulling him into a quick hug. His fucking touch is amazing. His hugs are on another level of amazing though.
He chuckled wrapping his arms around me. "Of course, Mads. Anything for you."
Fuck. I am totally crushing on my teacher. Shit. I mean who wouldn't, this dude is like a fucking god with how hot he is.
"Now go to class." He said pulling me out of my thoughts. Fuck class. I forgot about it. I groaned not wanting to let go of him, but I slowly let go of him.
"Fine, thank you again." I say before he runs off. I turn towards the door, and open it. I quickly walk in closing the door behind me. The classroom was big. There were rows of desks where everyone was sitting, and at the front was a big board. The professor had a desk one the side of the board. She was a tall woman, with long black hair that went down to her mid back. She was a short black dress, that made her look professional, with black heels to match. At this point everyone was staring at me.
"Ah, Ms. Hendrix, so nice of you to join us. I'm professor Tilly, go sit in the back." I looked away from her to see the seat in the back was the only open seat. I made my way to it, and sat down. Everyone was still looking at me, and it was fucking weird. Like fuck do I have a horn on my head, did I turn green? Do I have wings on my back, like fuck what is it? I glanced to the side to see who I was sitting next to me. It was a girl with short brown hair, she had a ton of makeup on, and her face just screamed "I'm a bitch." She was looking back at me with a scowl on her face.
         "I heard you were talking with Niko. I would just like to tell you," she leans closer to me "he's mine. So back off. Actually he'll never like trash like you, so actually please do try to get with him, it'll be funny to watch him reject you." She said snickering.
        "Bitch please. He's yours? The fuck is he, a dog? Last I checked no one owns him. And who says I want him?" I lean closer to her like she did me "I think I would rather die then let him touch me. Oh and if you really believed he would reject me if I tried to get with him, then we wouldn't be having this conversation right now, bitch. So I don't know what crawled up your ass this morning, and I honestly don't care, just leave me the fuck alone from now on." I plastered a sweet smile on my face, "That work for you sweetheart, or do you need some encouragement?" She looked pissed but didn't say anything else. "That's what I thought." I let out a long laugh looking away from her. But that didn't last long before she jumped out of her chair and started for the door. 
        "Aw going to run to your imaginary Niko? Have fun, sweetheart! Remember use your imagination, that's the only way Niko will show up for you!" I yell after her so she can hear me. I let out another laugh before glancing around the room. Multiple people recorded the interaction between me and the bitch. No idea what her name is.
        "Okay now that, that is over and done with we can continue our class." Tilly or whatever her name was went on talking about some old family that was powerful as fuck. Apparently they were some of the first dragons, but some rare kind of dragon. I forgot what it was called, but apparently no one has become this type of dragon for like 1,000 years. Which is fucking cool. Apparently it's like triple the size of a normal dragon, and it shoots this weird ass fire that kills literally anything. Fucking scary. The teacher started talking more about it but I couldn't give two fucks about any of this at the moment. Sure it would be good to learn, but right now it was just boring as hell. All of a sudden everyone's Faeones pinged. I picked up mine, looking to see what it was. There was a video of me and that bitch on finstagram. The whole interaction was on there. At least 4,000 likes on it already: I opened the comments to see what everyone was saying about it.

Aaliyah Bornox - Shit new girl is fucking badass.
Robin Bullord - Fuck Hendrix is fucking amazing. I've never seen anyone stand up to Rebecca.
Rebecca Vixen - Fuck off everyone. Hendrix is going to fucking get it when I see her again. Niko baby! Come see me.
        Niko Blackburn - Hell nah,  bitch. Keep imagining though. Hendrix, that shit is funny as hell. Whoever stands up to Vixen deserves an award. That bitch has been imagining me and her getting together for years. Finally someone put her in her place.
        Kai Blossom - fucking real dude. That girl is such a bitch, and Jade, what you said is
so true.
           Orla Marsha - I'm so sorry Becca. You don't deserve this, your so much better than that trash. Me and you can can team up later and beat the shit out of her.
          Rebecca Vixen - Hell yeah. Let's do it.

Biting my lip I type out a quick reply and send it. But not before another message pops up.
Blake Vesper - if one of you so much as touch a hair on Hendrix's head, me and the others from the 5 will take matters into our own hands. And no one likes when do that.

Fuck was he defending me? But why? My text from earlier read 'Come at me bitch.'  Which was probably not the best thing ever, but I'm sure it'll be fine. I think.
