Dark Angels

Chapter 2- New neighbor

The bus dropped me at the corner of the street...with Michael and his band. I heard them talking and laughing loudly during the entire route. I heard the group walked away but some footsteps were following me. I glanced behind to see Michael walking quickly. I didn't like the fact that I was alone with him in the street so I began to walk faster.

"I didn't know I had scared you like that!"I heard him laugh behind

"I don't like being with murderers..."

"Murderers? Young lady, I haven't killed anybody by so far. Threats are still good for people weak and coward like you!"

I stopped dead and faced him.

"I'm not a coward Jackson, so be careful of what you're saying!"

"Or what? You think you can harm me."

"What do you want? Why are you following me?"

"I'm not following you, my house is in the neighborhood girl. You see, you're scared of me. If you weren't you wouldn't have said anything! By the way, when I'm out, I prefer walking alone!"

"Are you stupid or what? We're taking the same bus!"

"Just find a way to never met me in the street like that. In fact you're right, you must be scared of me 'cause you don't know what I can do to chicks like you!"

And so, he passed me and headed to his home, apparently proud of him. When I put my key in the lock, I heard him said:

"And don't you talk to me again like that!"

He's stupid and dangerous at the same time. How I am going to deal with this jerk.

"Baby, you are here?"

"Yes daddy!"

I went to the kitchen and kissed him on the cheek. He had done chicken and fries for tonight. Great! I told him everything that had happened today, my new friends and all, except the part concerning the Dark Angels. He was pretty amazed that I've made friends so quickly.

"You see, I told you there were going to love you."

He kissed my forehead and we ate. When I went to my bedroom, I was attracted by the view of the city... This beautiful city! The sky was wrapped in the deepest blue coat ever and it had polished all the diamonds which were on its coat because the stars were shining like I've never see it. That was pretty amazing to see the city lights like that also. I glanced a bit at the neighborhood. My garden wasn't really as developed as the others but I thought we could do something great in it. I noticed something moving at the neighbor's... and saw it was Michael. He was sitting at a table outside with a little girl by his side. The girl might have six years old or a bit more. They both were looking at the sky. Michael had put a protector arm around her shoulder.

At that moment I saw that by now, I was going to be the one who could see him in two different side of his personality.

Next day, Sheryl, Kelly and Peter were waiting for me, on the high school's front stairs. Peter had put a Hawaiian shirt and a pair of black slacks. Sheryl had put some make up on and a long dark braid was posed just on her shoulder. Her green cheerleader's uniform light up her eyes a bit more. Kelly had let her long blond hair free and had put a nice white dress. Before leaving, I had, like her, left my hair free and put a white t-shirt with a pair of jeans. They cheered me happily.

"Megan, you're beautiful girl!" said Sheryl.

"Thank you but you are gorgeous with your uniform. I didn't know you were a cheerleader!"

"She isn't!" said Peter, laughing

"No, she puts that on 'cause she finds it cool! The only one cheerleader here it's me and I'm even the captain of the team." said Kelly
