Eyes.

Xephos' POV

"Class dismissed!"

Students left the class in a hurry, heading to the next lesson which was maths. Walking through the corridor, holding the book to my chest, I passed a group of boys. Immediately recognizing them as the ones who destroyed my book on the bus. I think they're names were Trott, Alsmiffy, Djh3max, Sips and Turps.

Looking over to them, they stared back at me with an almost evil look. Snapping my eyes off of them, I quickened my pace down the corridor.

"Ay! Fairy lights!"

Ignoring the call, I tightened the grip on my book.

"Wait up fairy lights!" Another called, hearing footsteps pass me and then seeing 2 of the boys infront of me, stopping me from walking further.

"Its rude to ignore!"

Keeping my head down, they surrounded me, no intention of moving.

"What's wrong? Scared to look at us?" One of them said while another snatched my book away from me. A boy with a purple headband on, Turps I think his name is, held the book.

"Well? Are you?!" Cowering, eyes glowing in fear as they laughed. The grey skinned boy, Sips, lifted my chin up.

"Tell me, why do your eyes glow?" I didn't answer, but one of the boys did.

"I think its because he's a freak, a alien". Another boy said.

Trying to stop tears pouring out of my eyes, a dark haired boy, Djh3max I believe, whispered something into Sips ear. Only catching a few words.

'Eyes..'

'Glow..'

'Janitor's closet..'

A smile creeped up on Sips' face as he whispered something to the Hat boys and Turps. Before I could register what he was saying, they grabbed onto my arms and legs, lifting me up.

"Put me down!" I demanded, as they began to walk through the corridor. They laughed, no intention on putting me down.

Oh god, what are they gonna do?!

Are they gonna dunk my head in the toilet?!

Oh please no..

After a few seconds, and a few more desperate cries to put me down. They stopped at a door.

"What are you doing?!" I cried, wanting to have my feet on the ground.

"Just a experiment, Fairy lights!" Sips exclaimed, a evil smile on his face. The door opened and they threw me inside, locking the door. Getting up from the floor, I banged on the door.

"Let me out!"

"See you later, Fariy lights!" They called, footsteps leading away from the door and down the hall.

"Please! Let me out.." Eyes glowing brighter, tears streaming down my face, fear taking over.

Dark..

Dark room..

Can't see..

Backing away from my door, I sat in the corner, pulling my legs to my chest.

Dark..

Don't like the dark..

Dark..

Nyctophobia..

Dark..

Door opening.

Footsteps.

"Hello? Shouldn't you be in lesson?" A sudden voice cause me to lift my head. A elderly man stood in the doorway, a confuse look on his face. He must be the janitor.

Wait.. Did I fall asleep?

"Are you okay?" He asked, kneeling infront of me. Shaking my head, I wiped my eyes.

"Let's get you to lesson" A small smile on his face as I stood up, walking me to my lesson. We soon stood infront of my class door, my hand on the handle.

"T-thank you"

He smiled, walking away as I opened the door.

"Xephos? There you are!" My maths teacher called, as I slowly made my way to my desk. Feeling eyes on me.

"Why are you late?"

Sitting at my desk, I glanced over to the five boys, all looking at me.

"I-I.. Got locked in the bathroom..", I lied, hesitating.

"Alright", he continued with the lesson.

Then it hit me..

Where's my maths book?
