UNBREAKABLE SOULS

Chapter 2

It was finally the next day, I had to go to hell again, school. I rubbed my eyes as I saw a pair of new clothes and a new uniform lying on the only piece of furniture I had which was a shabby wooden table there was also a basket filled with my favourite sweets and chocolates and a mini sketchbook, a new phone, books not just some books it was the shatter me series not just your ordinary shatter me series but the fairyloot edition and some necessities. I was overjoyed by the unexpected gifts, but I was confused. How did they know my favourite chocolate and how much I've wanted the fairyloot edition of the shatter me series and how they knew I liked drawing? I am not going to lie but yesterday's embrace felt familiar and that person's voice also sounded familiar but who they were is always going to be a mystery and how they knew my nickname was also going to be a mystery. On the basket there was a card which had 'love from' and the initials 'K.H'  written on it and that's it. On the clothes there was a note which read as 'We are sorry, we didn't send someone earlier and let you get hurt, we deeply apologies. We hope you like our gift of the fresh pair of clothes and the basket filled with goodies. One of our elite member picked this out for you, so we hope you enjoy it, Skyla. Yours sincerely KHMA.' Again I was confused because the note didn't mention anything of the uniform. Thoughts washed over me, how did they know my school? There was another note but now on the uniform but this time in a different handwriting, 'Hi, umm this isn't from KHMA but from me I hope you appreciate my gift. From yours sincerely P.B.J.' ' What weird initials', I thought to myself. I glanced to the right of the uniform I saw a little black bag, I opened the bag and I saw a lighter with the same initials KHMA and next to the lighter was a black metal mechanical pencil but it was no ordinary mechanical pencil but one that was sharpened to a point where this pencil could brutally murder someone with the same initials and next to that was a small switchblade big enough to injure someone with again the same initials lastly there was a pack of ninja stars in the bag with AGAIN the same initials KHMA. At this rate I wanted to know who KHMA was or what it stood for, 'but why were they giving me these things?' I asked myself but the excitement washed away the suspicion. I looked in the bag again to see if I missed anything, I in fact did there was ANOTHER note; why so many notes like just make one big note like i'm curious what went through their head but it's fine I am grateful for the gifts=); The note read as: 'I know many notes yeah i'm sorry about that, don't worry I don't have superpowers Sky you're just very predictable in what you are going to say. Anyway umm please just take these to school for self defence also there is a GLOCK G43X Semi-Auto Pistol in the drawer also please TAKE IT WITH YOU, since you would probably leave it in the fear of going to prison, don't worry you won't go to prison if you do I will bail you out. Because someone as pretty as you needs protection and sadly I cannot protect you.'  What is wrong with this P.B.J guy or girl like I don't even know this person, saying they escaped a mental asylum is an offence to those in the mental asylum. Stalker vibes, like he is trying to be Zeade Meadows but a bit softer. Like I thought I was obsessive over Aaron Warner but this person like I don't wanna be rude, you are too obsessive like there is something called boundaries don't think you've heard about em like fair enough I let some random stranger hug me yesterday but that was because I was mentally needing that hug since I had been tortured and nearly killed, wait maybe they need me?  So I shouldn't judge so quickly, anyway let's get back to, oh shit I only have 30 minutes to get ready, I wore the uniform that the P.B.J person gave me and grabbed the little black bag and shoved it in my pocket as I saw the window had been fixed with a new soft blanket on the window sill. I also grabbed the gun ;even though I was sceptical of him, like he repeated the same words that my stepmother had said last night about how predictable I was. I don't know how he knows that I am very predictable. I've never even met him, weirdo. And for my own safety shoved the gun in my bag hoping I wouldn't get caught and I was off. I still had 20 minutes but I had to walk it and my house was pretty far from Harbridge Secondary Academy,that's my school by the way. I hate it, absolutely despise it, there are too many bullying cases and no one does anything to prevent the bullying from happening since most people in my school had powerful parents who paid for their entrance  and would give the headteacher money to not report their child or exclude them. The reason why their parents paid for them to get in was due to half of them there were too dumb to get in, only the middle class or lower class people who came on scholarships were actually clever and the ones that were rich but got high marks even though they never payed attention to school was due to their parents cheating their children into success and these guys are the reason why I get tortured till the brink of death. As if life wasn't crappy already, I also was one of those who got bullied. The reason I got bullied was because I was too nice to them in the start when I entered Harbridge, I was only 11, they hit me once or twice I ignored it for the sake of my life since if I got in trouble or excluded I would've been dead and I've done the same since then and now i'm 17 turning 18.
Anyway let's forget about that since you guys are not my therapists, if I told you the details  let's just say you would be umm what's an appropriate word.....traumatised you would be traumatised and I do not want to traumatise you anymore. After 20 minutes of walking I had finally arrived. I was always early, everyone would come late but again in the fear of my step mother I tried coming as early as I could but today someone was earlier than me it looked like they were sleeping.
"Finally, gosh I've been here since ages and no one has come, I was starting to think this school was closed. By the way I'm Damon, Damon Nikolaou." said the guy who I thought was sleeping as he lifted his head and fixed his blue piercing eyes which were covered by his blonde but brown hair, his eyes made my heart sink deeper than the ocean. His eyes were on me waiting for an answer. I instantly fell in love with his soul, beauty and words.
"Ask me I'm usually the earliest, here everyone comes late, by the way I'm Skyla Andros." I replied trying not to sound anxious since it's been a long time since someone has talked to me.
"Are you new?" I added
"Well you can say that, I am a transfer student from Greece, my friend from Spain should be coming soon. He is also a transfer student. Also I love your name Skyla. It's unique and pretty like you."  he said as he smirked and still maintained eye contact with me. His face glowed like the sun but brighter he felt familiar like I've seen him but I have no recollection of him in my childhood or teen years but nevertheless, I was speechless, butterflies roamed my stomach rent free his smile made me smile and believe me I haven't done that since I was 6. I just stood there as he kept looking at me in awe. Suddenly someone walked in and broke the silence.
"Hey, Damon. Wait, where is everyone? Wait, who's she?" the person replied who was pretty tall, had hazel eyes that kinda reminded me of honey and his skin was tanned but not too tanned, his hair was wavy almost like s shapes, he's probably the spanish guy; wait I want a name for Damon umm what can it be i'll pick sunshine it fits him; that sunshine told me about.
"Skyla this is Matteo Navarro, Matteo this is Skyla Andros." said my sunshine (wait is this too obsessive now I don't blame the P.B.J guy or girl since i'm acting like this).
"Hi Skyla, is it your first day as well or do you go here?" asked Matteo as he leaned against the table.
"Umm I go here, also just for your information everyone comes kinda late so chill for a bit." I replied as I placed my bag carefully on the ground, wait did I put the gun on safety? What if it goes off in my bag and I go to prison?  I was panicking. If I take it out then Damon and Matteo might report me and I don't want to lose the only people who are willing to talk to me but if I go to the toilet then Alicia might bully me even though she comes late like really late I was out of options.
"You okay Skyla, you can tell me, you are never alone." said Damon as he approached me, I got too panicked and pulled out the gun. It was a tense moment, I could see the shock on their faces. My hand was cold and stiff. Suddenly they both pulled out guns.
"Matteo, don't shoot, her gun is on safety."
Said Damon calmly as he laughed to himself.
"Wait, actually, oh yeah it is." Replied Matteo
"Is it, oh thank god, because I have no intention of shooting anyone," I replied with a relieved expression.
"You don't? Then why'd you pull it out like that? I thought this perra was about to kill me like I nearly pissed my pants." replied Matteo as they both put their guns back in their pockets.
"Because I didn't know if I had put it on safety or not and was panicked that you guys might've reported me for having a gun." I answered.
"Is it your first time owning a gun? Also please never do that again, you might get hurt and I do not want you to get hurt alright, love." said Damon in a soft and worried voice but at the same time he sounded serious. The way he said love reminded me of Aaron Warner.
"You really think it's her first time owning a gun, you serious, she has a GLOCK G43X, that's my dream gun but sadly my boss wo-" replied Matteo as Damon whispered something to Matteo making Matteo not finish his sentence, this was before anyone else came in. He said something along the lines of 'shh she cannot know, you never know she might be a rival' rival? What did he mean by rival? Wait, why am I trusting them? I have only met them like 10 minutes ago, but Damon I want to trust him, I feel like I need him like a human needs oxygen, I finally feel human and not like a demon that my stepmother says I am. As I was lost in my thoughts Damon asks.
"Skyla?"
"Yes, sunshine." I replied as realisation hit me that I had called him sunshine but he didn't seem to mind it since I could see a smile appear on his face.
"Sunshine? Don't you think it's a bit early to call me that? Anyway umm I was going to ask you if you wanna have lunch together today?" Asked Damon again, piercing my heart with his ocean like eyes anyone could get lost into.
"Yea, of course, I would love to." I replied, smiling. Inside I was exploding in excitement.
"Guys, you know I am here as well." added Matteo with an annoyed look on his face. Me and Damon both laughed. At this point people started coming and even the teacher had come but he hadn't started the lesson until everyone came. I decided to go back to my seat as I did that Alicia walked in and had her eyes on Damon, my Damon.
"Oooh girls, we have 2 new guys, I call dibs on the blue-eyed guy." said Alicia as she went to her seat.
"You know they aren't objects and have names and you can't just call dibs on them." I replied
"And what would you know, hah you don't even have friends forget friends you don't even have a fath-" replied Alicia as her minions laughed and so did the whole of the class.
"Has no one told you how ANNOYING your voice is, and what would you know you don't even have a life outside of school Alica, do you know how many times your parents have complained of you being a disgrace and them wanting to disown you, yeah think about THAT! Haha at least she has a heart unlike you also didn't you have to live in my house for a year since your parents didn't want you due to you being an annoying brat huh THINK ABOUT THAT!" replied Damon, the whole class fell silent.
"Also don't you dare come close to me since I have someone I like." added Damon as he turned to me and smiled, I smiled back.
"You were ugly anyway, the other guy is hotter," replied Alicia as she tried saving herself.
"I'm sorry, I don't like perras like you." replied Matteo.
"For your information Alicia since your body count is more than your brain cells Perras means bitches" added Damon as the last couple of people came in. Alicia was embarrassed since two guys had rejected her. Everyone burst into laughter.
