Heart of spades

Chapter 2

I hit the snooze button on my alarm and covered myself with my blanket that fell from my bed. Maxine had this ritual to come to all our rooms banging on a pan with a wooden stick.

I grabbed my pillow and covered my ears with it. Next thing I know I'm in my dark blue preppy American uniform which was a skirt and a blouse. We got pancakes for breakfast. Only Maxine and my mom know I love pancakes, especially the Mickey Mouse shaped ones that our pancake maker makes.

"Hurry up and eat your probably gonna be late." Maxine was stressing more than us on our first day of Junior year.

Tar was still just coming downstairs and grabbing a pancake. "Don't worry Maxine the bus comes in five minutes plus I'm a senior now."

Maxine grabbed our bags that were on the couch and shoved them in our hand as she pushed us out the door.

The bus arrived 2 minutes later. Me and Alexa got on then I looked back to see Tar walking away. "Where are you going get on the bus." I tried to look where he was looking.

"Don't worry about me, I've got my own ride." Soon a red Ferrari car showed up and Tar got in. I shook my head and went to take a seat next to Alex.

When we got to school me and Alexa walked down to the office to get our Schedule and our locker numbers. Luckily our lockers where next to each other but we weren't in the same class.

Alexa and I looked up at each other, giving each other a sad face. "Well at least our lockers are next to each other so we can gossip at break."

"Mhh." I said as I walked over to my locker and took of a note stuck on it. And slowly opened the wrinkled note

"Well what does it say?" Alex was frantically jumping up and down, she loved drama.

"Well We'll Well, this will be a fun year abandoned girl." I sighed. "XOXO Eva BROOK." Of course Eva, she hated me as much as I hated her which was a lot.

I crumbled the paper in my fist and threw it on my way to class.

I found my classroom and sat in my assigned seat which was next to 2 new kids. I didn't know anyone in this class.

The teacher walked in and the whole class settled down, I'm guessing he's one of the super strict teachers, because i have been in this school long enough to know no one listened to teachers.

"Students, we have new arrivals, I hope you welcome them well to our school." Two new kids walked in at that moment, they looked quite similar.

On the left stood a boy with the brightest blonde hair ever and the bluest eyes that you could get lost in. He was tall and strong, he had the cutest smile and he wore a gold watch on his wrist.

On his right stood a girl, shorter than him with long brown hair and a heart tattoo on her hand barely noticeable. She wore her hair in a ponytail.

"Hello, I'm Kyle Thornfield and I'm 17 and this is my cousin" He said with a big smile pointing to the girl next to him. "Hi I'm Lola Green-Thornfield and I'm 17 too." They each took a seat on ether side of me.

"To start of the year easily, You'll be pairing up with the 2 peoples next to you to work on a new project on space." Everyone groaned to the words of the teacher.

I looked at the new kids. "Hi I'm Ella Gee." They offered me a smile. "Guess were partners."

"Hi Ella, do you wanna work at our house, its quite crowded with Kyle's 3 brothers and my aunts and uncles an-."

"Don't mind her, coming from a huge family she tends to be very social." Kyle warned me. "I'll text you the address if you dont mind doing it at our place. You could come over today."

I smiled and nodded. "That would be great."

Before we could finish our conversation a student came rushing in screaming "FIGHT."

And next thing I know everyone is rushing out the door. "Come on." I told Kyle and Lola who followed me out the door.

When we got to the fight it was surrounded by a mob of people. I pushed my way through to the front of the mob. A tall brunette boy with green eyes wearing a black shirt and his opponent was a blonde guy a bit shorter than him with blue eyes.

They held each by the collar fists in the air ready to swing. I pushed back everyone and ran to step in between them and protected my head with my forearms. When I finally moved my arms, the brunette's fist was stopped in front of me.

"Ha weakling." Blondie told his opponent who started walking towards him. "What did you say?" I tried holding him back, his nose bled through to his mouth and on his knuckles. Blondie had a black eye and a bleeding lip.

"Watch out." The brunette scram as he held me and turned away. I quickly understood that Blondie threw a punch at me.

Soon my brother got involved, he grabbed Blondie by the collar throwing punches at him and pinning him down. My hands on my mouth and tear streaming down my face the stranger was still holding me. He looked at me then went to grab my brother of the Blonde boy who's face was unrecognizable.

"Tar..."I whispered as Alexa came to confort me and hugged me as well as Lola who put her hand on my back.

"You try to touch my sister again and your dead Hero." Older seniors were grabbing my brother.

Blondie was wiping off the blood. "You mean that little bitch." He said smiling. The brunette threw one last punch. "That's not how you treat women."

"Cardan that's enough." Kyle told the Brunette. The principal arrived too late, he sent us to the infirmary, he though the blood was mine.

We each sat on a chair, Blondie had an ice pack on his eye, Tar had a bandage on his knuckles and Cardan had his head tipped up to stop his nosebleed.

"Do that again Ella and I will murder you myself." My brother warned me and I looked down. Ever since my mom's death I dont like fights.

Cardan removed the clothes full of blood. "Why did you do that?" He asked.

"I..- I don't know." I answered honestly, well it was partly the truth, I hated fights.

Cardan scoffed, I gave my brother a warning look, the nurse came and told us the principal wanted us in his office.

"All four of us?" I asked, I technically didn't have anything to do in the fight.

The nurse nodded. "I know you have nothing to do with it, I see these 2 quite often." She pointed at Hero and Tar. "But you." She told Cardan. "I hope its the first and last time."

"And why did you drag Ella in this?" All the boys looked at the nurse then at me.

I scratched my head. "Well I kinda got involved myself." Mara the nurse was shocked.

"You better not keep the principal waiting." We all walked to the office me first then Tar behind me and the rest behind.

4 chairs were aligned in front of the principal, I sat between Cardan and Tar.

"Ella I'm disappointed in you." He sighed and I looked down. "I'm gonna have to send a message to your parents, as a warning."

"I'm being nice next time you'll be held at school and will be given school chores, you might not even make it to your Junior-Senior camping trip." He was walking around staring anywhere but at us.

We walked out of the office everyone staring at us.
