The Unexpected

TWENTY FIVE

It's been a week since what happened. 

Noah and Oli haven't talked yet and I keep feeling more sad for her everyday. 

She spend the whole week in her bed, not attending any lessons. 

Today she finally agreed to get back to class.

''Do you think he's seeing Ellie again?'' Oli asks.

He would be dumb if he would.

But talking about Noah. I haven't seem him at all these days aswel.

''Don't know, haven't seen him.''

We were walking to our lockers when we see a group of girls standing near it, Looking at us and whispering. 

This has been going on all week.

It's annoying as fuck and I want to do something but I can't.

''Yes it's her, move on!'' I yell at them and they scatter away. God these girls are assholes.

''I'm sorry I don't have magic class with you Oli.'' She smiles slightly. I worry for her I do. But now that people know who she is she can protect herself now.

''I'll be fine.''

''I'm the lost fire princess after all.''

I chuckle at her response. I like it that she's handeling it wel.

''I'll see you after class yeah?'' I wave her goodbye and start walking to my own class.

Chemistry class.

I like walking to it because this is the quieter part of the school. 

Before I could walk in I got pulled into a corner with a hand over my mouth.

Chills ran down my spine.

It went away when I noticed it was Damien.

''Oh my god Damien.'' I pulled his hand away. ''You fucking scared me.''

''Joy, why did you lie?'' I look up confused.

''Lie? Lie about what?'' ''That you're not a royal.''

Now I'm ever more confused and he could read it of my face. He smirks. 

''Damien, you know that already?''

''I do?'' His smirk turned wider and that's when I realized who I was actually talking to.

''Darien.'' He laughs. ''Finally that took you some time.''

Meet Darien, Damien's twin brother. I have never met him before but Damien told me it was best not to. Apparently his twin is bad news.

''What do you want?''

''I don't see what my twin sees in, well you.'' I laugh at him sarcastically.

''What does that matter.''

''Well you're not royal that's one. Also that you're not a light fairy.'' What? 

Look I know that I'm not royal, but I sure know that I'm a light fairy. Why else would would my magic show the parts of a light fairy.

''Let me explain. Damien was supposed to say it to you but decided he won't, so I came to tell you.''

''Could you just tell me so I can go to class, and besides you're voice is annoying.''

He nods.

''You see, the day you got attacked during the ball. You shielded yourself correct?''

I nod.

''Well Joy, explain to me how a light fairy has a black magic shield instead of a white one?'' 

I drop my bag on the ground and take a step back.

''What did you just tell me.'' 

''That you suck at lying.'' He takes step towards me. 

''I'm not lying, All my powers show that I'm a light fairy!''

''How about the time you were practicing your magic with our little fire princess and you were practically making fire balls? I thought light fairy's couldn't make fire?''

He had a point right there. Tho I didn't notice that until now. 

''Where's Damien?'' ''Back in the kingdom, mom and dad wanted to speak with him.''

I nod.

''Well I'm going to go, don't bother me again Darien.'' Before I could walk away, he got ahold of my arm. 

''I will find out what you are joy.'' I look up at his eyes. ''Leave me alone.'' I snatch my arm back and start walking. 

I am gonna skip class at this point. 

I make it outside the school and start walking into the forest. I just have to clear my head.

The only thing I want to know is why didn't Damien tell me right away. Why wait? He's supposed to me my boyfriend and all. And my shield being black instead of white is fucking important, cause I can find out who or what my dad really is.

I walk further in the forest but was met with Noah sitting against a tree, smoking. I haven't seen him all week and I find him smoking outside school.

I go to him and sit next to him.

''What do you want Joy.'' Without even looking who it was, he knew it was me.

I snatch the cigarette out his hand and inhale deeply, blowing out the smoke.

''You're hiding.'' He shrugs. ''I never took you for the one to run away from his problems.'' He furrows his eyebrows and take the cigarette back from my hand.

''I'm not running from anything.'' I could hear in his voice that he was struggling and still processing everything. I raise my eyebrow ''Oh yeah? not even from a tiny blonde?''  He just takes an other hit from his cigarette. 

''Why haven't you reported her yet?''

He throws his cigarette away and looks at me without answering. So we are gonna play this game. Honestly I may be the youngest out of the group and he the oldest, but this is a time where I think the opposite.

''Fine. I think your feelings for Olivia got a little deeper into your skin than you expected.''

He narrows his eyes. ''Bullshit''.

''Oh yeah? Where are the demons? Where's your dad? If what I said is not true about your feelings, it should've taken you a second to destroy it all and yet you haven't yet.''

I can see his fist clenching.

''And I think you're an absolute asshole, don't get me wrong. You've done some fucked up shit to Oli and I disgust your ass for it.'' 

I meant what I said, but not only because of what he did to Oli. I hate Nights with my entire hart. I guess him and Mikey are an exception but just the Night name makes me hurl.

''But even tho you did those things. I also know Oli was and is the best thing that ever happend to you.''

He sighs and looks down. I know his ego is too big to handle hearing the truth from someone, but he had to hear it. 

''If you really care about her as you claimed you did. This shouldn't matter.''

He tilts his head up.

I put my hand on his shoulder and he looks at me.

''You've been alone for a long time Noah. Don't let Olivia slip away from you. You're going to regret that for the rest of your life. And for you, that's a long time.''

I part his back and stand up to leave him to think about what I just said to him.

Talking to him and giving him advice makes me think that maybe me and Damien should have a talk. He has been going back home a lot these days and he isn't telling me what's happening. Not to mention that he didn't talk to me about my shield. 

Now I can't help but wonder. What was my father if not a angel?
