A Smile is Your Best Scream

Chapter 6

Velvet P.O.V

Holland is none stop bothering me about Victoria. Not once has she asked about me. The guilt I was feeling has disappeared being replaced by more hate.

Victoria P.O.V

I have been here for a few weeks now and I've made some friends.

Everyone knows me but the close ones are Xavier, Cole and Jake they are the only ones I've told about Velvet and they think I'm badass.

Right now I'm fighting Xavier he's the supposed best in class.

He is looking for my weak spot but I've already found his.

I jabbed at his stomach and he blocked. Perfect.

With my free hand I hit him on his right shoulder he was pushed off balanced and I used my foot to kick him. He fell to the the floor I straddled him and pinned his hands above his head.

"I win" I whispered in his ear.

A look of shock was on all of their faces as I got up.

"Good Job, Victoria" the coach states as Xavier muttered some cuss words.

Mystery P.O.V

She just beat Xavier. Great now I know she will make a good candidate.

She was at her punching bag her music blaring threw her headphones. Her knuckles were wrapped.

I tried sneaking up on her as I put my hand on her shoulder she jumped and hit me in the face.

"Sorry! I am so sorry I didn't mean to!" she apologized quickly yanking hee earphones and offering her hand to help me I gladly took it and she pulled me up without effort.

"It's okay" I stated with a smile and she sighed in relief as I dusted myself off. I've felt worse.

"Wait I haven't seen you here before?" she stated with a raised eyebrow and I couldn't help but chuckle.

"I just like to keep in the shadows" I answered and she laughed.

"Anyway we started out wrong. Hi my name's Payne" I introduced myself.

"Victoria" she said shaking my hand.

"Victoria have you been watching the news lately seeing all the bad things that are happening around us?" I asked and she frowned

"Yes why?" she answered with a frown and clenched fist

"Don't you want to stop it to make those people pay for the cruel things they do to people even children?" I watched as her eyes dilated in anger and her nails dug into her palm.

"Of course I do who doesn't those people who were murdered were innocent and didn't do anything" she spoke venom laced in her voice and I mentally smirked.

"Why don't you join Confidant?" I question eyeing her and she looked at me with a curious look

"What's that?" she asked .

"Just an organization" I answered

"That does...?" She waited for me to answer and I rolled my eyes.

"Stuff"

"Well do you want to join?" I asked again.

"I'll think about it" she answered before serving a kick to the punching bag snapping it off the chain and it fell to the floor.

"Good"

We exchanged contact numbers and went our separate ways.
