Star Academy

Part 6

JADE

"Come on, Jade." Han said dragging me over to a table. It was now lunch time, and I'd finished most of my classes for the day. It went okay, definitely not what I was expecting for the day, but then again, this is something straight out of a fucking movie. I sat down with her on the side of me, putting my tray down while she did the same. I got a cheese burger, and fries as a side.
          "So, why the hell was Blake Vesper defending you?! Last I checked the 5 definitely did not like you." She said stuffing her face with pasta.
          "I have no fucking Idea. Although I'm sure I'll find out soon." I say focusing on my food. Me and Han talked for a while, asking each other questions, I'd lied a few times, well not completely, I just didn't tell the full truth, or sometimes I would completely avoided a question, but it was nice to be friends with someone for once.
         "Hey, I need a refill. I wasted all my magic before lunch." Oh fucking hell.
           Turning around to face him, "No." is all I say.
        "The fuck you mean 'no'?" Is he stupid?
         "I mean, No. or are you too fucking stupid to understand what that means." I bark out.
         "Damn dude. Guess the princess doesn't actually just let you do whatever you want to her." Blake says chuckling behind him. I notice the rest of the five walk up to us. I stand up facing them all.
           "Fuck off. You'll be obedient again, right? I know you just love it when I bite you." Niko says winking at me.
          "I'd rather fuck a rat." No I wouldn't. That was a lie. Niko is hot as hell, just an asshole. The rest of the five laugh, while Niko looks like he's going to explode.
         "Well then. Theres that." He says before grabbing my chin and moving my face to the side so he has more access. He leans in to bite me.
          "No no no no no." I whisper quietly. Ryder said if anyone got close enough they could see.
          "Scared?" Niko smirks at me.
          "Not of you, of what you might see." I mutter, but I know he must have heard it with his vamp hearing. I feel his fangs brush against my neck.
         "What do you mean of what I might see?" He says before looking me over. His gaze lingers on my arms for way longer then I would have liked. He knows. And he's going to tell everyone. Everyone's going to know. Everyone's going to know about what I did to myself. Before I can do anything I feel my magic rush through my veins to my hands, and all of a sudden Niko is blasted across the room.
          "Fuck." I say. Niko rushed back over with vamp speed. He makes an attempt to step forward, but I cut him off.
         "Take another step towards me and see what happens." With that I run out of the fab. I could hear the other five asking what happened, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I couldn't. All I could think about was the fact he seen. He knows. And he's going to tell everyone. I run outside, the cold instantly hitting me. Fuck the cold. I slow down, now walking. I walk around for a while trying to stay calm. Leaning against a wall, I pull out my Faeone. I open it quickly looking at Finstagram. The first thing I see is a video of the whole interaction between me and the 5. Fuck I was trying to forget about it, not relive it. I slide down the wall, pulling my legs close. I put my Faeone next to me, and bury my head in my hands. What the hell is going to happen? Is he going to tell anyone? Actually that's a stupid fucking question, of course he's going to tell someone. Not just someone, he's going to tell everyone. He's going to tell everyone that I'm a weak bitch that cut herself when things got bad. Everyones going to know, everyone. And my life will be ruined. Why the fuck couldn't I just stay with Zane. With max. Before I know it there's someone standing right in front of me. I didn't even have to look up to know who it was.
            "What happened, Maddy?" He asks softly.
         "He knows, Ryder. He seen. He seen them. He knows."  I say lifting my head to look at Ryder.
         "What do you mean? Who knows?" I completely break down unable to say anything else. I try multiple times but nothing comes out. Ryder lifts me up bringing me to my feet. And before I know it I'm brought into a hug. I wrap my hands around him instantly, crying so much his shirt gets wet.
         "Fuck Mads. What happened?" He asks again. I try again to tell him, but again I can't. Instead I let go of him and bend down to pick up my Faeone. I open it, and click on the video. I hand it over to him. He'll know what I mean after he watches it. After he finishes the video he looks pissed.
         "Fuck. He got close, and seen the scars. I'm assuming the ones on your arms?" I nod my head still unable to form words. He hands me my Faeone back, an I put it in my bag I left on the floor.
           "And your scared he's going to tell someone. Fuck Mads, I'm sorry. I should have just let you put the makeup over it instead of the stupid spell." No. I won't let him blame himself for something Niko did. I jump onto him, wrapping my legs around him, and my arms around his neck.
          "No. Don't fucking blame yourself for something he did. He's the one who tried to bite me." I tell him. He blames himself for everything. Like fuck Ryder it's not always your fault.
          "Still I feel responsible for it. If I had just let you go to your roo-" I cut him off before he say anything else. I grab his face with my hands forcing him to look at me.
          "Don't you fucking dare, Ryder. Fuck! Stop blaming everything on yourself! It's not your fucking fault! It's Nikos. Not yours. So stop, or I swear, Ryd." I insist.
          He lets out a low chuckle. "Damn, Mads. Got it. It's not my fault." He wraps his hands around me pulling me even closer. I wrap my hands around his neck again.
           "Hey, why did you come find me?" I ask after sitting there for a few minutes.
        "Oh shit. I was going to take you to my class. It starts" he lifts his hand up, probably checking the time "5 minutes ago. Shit. Are you coming to my class or are you skipping this one too?" He teases.
          "Mmm I think maybe I'll skip." I reply .
          "Sorry but your going. Wether your like it or not." Ryder takes me off of him. But then grabs me again throwing me over his shoulder. "Easier way to run."
          "Liar! You could have put me on your back!" I retort.
         "Yeah. Maybe. But this is better." He says stifling a laugh. Before I can say anything else, he starts running to the class. It only took a few seconds to get there with Ryders vamp speed . We stopped outside two doors.
"Go change in the girls locker room, I'll be in there." He says before pushing opening both doors, walking into the room like he was late. I looked around the area to see there was a door on my right, and one on my left. One leading to the boys locker room, and one leading to the girls. I quickly made my way into the girls locker room. There were a lot of lockers, showers, and a few benches. I looked at one of the lockers noticing there was a name on it. I looked at a few others and realized we had assigned lockers. I looked around before finding my own. I quickly opened it, and inside there was a bag. I opened the bag to reveal there were clothes inside. A black sports bra, and black yoga pants. I quickly changed into them, and then put everything into my locker, closing it. I make my way into the classroom. Pushing open just one of the doors unlike Ryder. It was huge. There were two sets of bleachers. And mats spread out everywhere.
"Ah, Maddy. Nice of you to join us." Ryder says winking at me. Asshole. I don't answer him and make my way over to the group. All the girls are wearing the same thing as me, and the boys are shirtless, and wearing black pants. It was hard not to stare at them. Then I noticed 4 guys. Blake, Cadmus, Dexter, and.. Niko.
"Okay now that everyone's here, we can start class. Everyone here should know something about fighting, and I don't mean fighting with your powers. I mean Hand-to-hand combat. If you don't know how to fight, then your going to have a hard time here. To start off, we're going do a little game. Everyone's going to get a partner. Your going to fight that partner, and whoever wins moves on to fight another person who won. And then keep doing that until there's only two people left. The losers can watch, and learn something." Ryder explained. This shouldn't be too bad. I learned how to fight a few years ago when I joined a gang. Worst fucking decision ever, but one good thing did come out of going one. I was taught how to fight.
"Okay! I'm going to pair you all with someone! Find a mat for you and your partner, and when I say go everyone can start!" Ryder started listing off names. I didn't listen very much until I heard my name. "Madeline Hendrix, And...Rebecca Vixen." Absolutely not.
          "What the fuck Ryder! Absolutely not." I yell out. Everyone's eyes shoot towards me. Probably not expecting that. Or the fact I just yelled at a teacher. And not just any teacher, the scary, rude, hot teacher. Or that's what everyone else thinks of him.
          "Shit did she just yell at Mr. Pierce. He's going to kill her." Someone whispered. He's not that bad is he? The four guys were staring at me intensely. It was fucking scary.
             "Maddy I honestly couldn't give a fuck what you want, your fighting vixen weather you like it or not." Ryder says plainly. I hear a few people gasp.
            "Fuck off, Ryder. You can't make me fight her." I mean he can't, right? Actually who knows with him.
         "Actually I can, Mads." He smirks. And then all of a sudden he's not standing there anymore, he's right in front of me.
           "And what the hell are you going to do? Hm?" I question. I mean I hope he can't make me. Ryder places his hands under my arms. "Don't you dare!" I exclaim. He chuckles, causing everyone to gape at us. He lifts me up and throws me over his shoulder. I try to squirm free of his hold but he only tightens his hold on me. "Ryder! Put me down!" I yell at him, but he doesn't listen. I hear someone chuckle, and I look over to see the four guys laughing at us like this is the funniest thing ever. "Ugh why do you always do this." I grumble.
        "Because I know you hate it." He says, and I just know he's smirking. He walks me over to a mat and puts me down.
          "Your a fucking asshole you know that!" I tell him once I'm standing.
          "I know." He replies not even bothered. He winks at me, and then turns around, walking back over to the group where everyone is still gaping at him. He starts calling out more pairs, at the same time I see Rebecca walking over to me. She walked over and stood in front of me.
"I'm going to fuck you, bitch. For stealing my boyfriend." She snarled.
"You can fucking try." I retort. I'd say one of the only things I'm good at is fighting. And I'm pretty damn good at it.
"Okay! Now that everyone has a partner," Ryders voice booms across the room. "We can start! When I say go, you can start!"
Rebecca got into a fighting stance, and I did the same.
"Three... two.... One...Go!" And with that the fight starts. Rebecca instantly goes to punch my face, but I quickly duck under her arm so I'm behind her. She turns around quickly looking pretty pissed off. She tried to knock me off my feet, but I caught her foot before she could do anything. I twist her leg forcing her to fall down on her stomach. She rolls over, going to sit up but I jump on her before she can do anything. I wrap my legs around her, straddling her waist. I start punching her in her face, while she tries to get some hits in. She hit me a few times but not many. I continue to hit her, even though I know she's done. She's a fucking bitch, she deserves it.
"Madeline!" I hear Ryder yell. My gaze shoots to him where he's walking towards us. I notice that everyone has finished their matches and were watching me and Rebecca.
"Yes?" I ask sweetly, like I wasn't just pounding someone's face.
"She's done. I know you know that. No need to fuck her up that much." He reaches me and Rebecca. He sticks his hand out for me to take. I take it instantly getting to my feet. I step over Rebecca and look down at her. She was a bloody mess, she looks awful.
"But she's a bitch." I say loud enough for her to hear. She groans beside me, trying to get up, but failing.
         "Someone get the worthless piece of shit out of here, and to the infirmary!" Ryder yells out. Three girls run over to us and help her up.
"Next pairs!" Ryder yells, and walks to the center of the room. Everyone crowds around him, waiting to hear who they are out with.
