The Hidden

Secret

"No"
I rolled my eyes and pushed past my dad out the door.
"I told you I'm fine now let it go" I sighed.
"Uhm no I won't let it go.. You were beaten!" He exclaimed.
"I'm leaving bye!!"
Running down the street ignoring my dads yells I hurried to school.
Throwing my hood up I kept my hood down.
I couldn't cover all of the bruises on my face and my
busted eyebrow and lip so I just covered up what I could and my marks.
Covering my legs with a pair of pale blue jeans with black boots, and a large black hoodie.
Walking past the atrians getting off the bus before they could see me, I hurried through security and rushed to my locker.
Racing past everyone on the stairs I booked it straight to my locker I opened it only for a bucket of blue bucket of paint to drop out and all over me.
Everyone in the hallway burst out laughing and let out and angry yell and slammed my locker and punched it, leaving an very large dent.
Spinning around I saw Eric.
"You son of bitch I'm gonna fucking kill you!!" I growled before chucking the bucket of paint at him and his friends hitting one of them in the nuts.
I went to charge at Eric but was stopped by a pair of large strong arms.
"Hey! Hey! Kira chill out!" Drakes voice exclaimed as I fought against him.
"Stop! Let me go I'm gonna kill that god damned ferret!!" I growled.
Eric and his goons quickly booked it and I shoved Drake back and kept my head down.
"Why'd you stop me?!" I exclaimed.
"Uhm so you wouldn't get expelled. Your the only decent human around here and I'd like to keep you. What with the hoodie and this blue paint all over?" He reached to pull my hood down.
I went to pull away but it was already too late and he'd pulled my hood back.
He gasped and so did the rest of the atrians behind him.
"What the fuck happened to you?" Teri exclaimed.
"The damned red hawks. They got me in my way home last night " I grumbled.
"For being friends with us?" Sophia looked at me sadly.
I sighed.
"It's fine. I'm fine, really. Nothings gonna stop me from hanging out with the only decent people here okay?" I smiled softly.
"It was him wasn't it" drake gritted his teeth.
Glancing at him I saw his eyes were dark and his expression was furious.
"Drake don't. No it wasn't" I warned.
"But he-"
"I don't care. This has to work, you aren't just doing this for fun. This is for your whole race and you can't fail them" I explained.
"She's right drake you can't go beating people up or you'll ruin everything we've started. We've gotten this far and we can't stop now" Roman sighed.
Nodding I peeled my paint covered sweatshirt off leaving me in black crop top which unfortunately revealed the worser bruises.
"Shit" Drake muttered tracing his finger along one if the larger bruises on my side.
Shivering slightly under his touch I flinched away as he accidentally poked another bruise.
"Here" drake quickly pulled his gray hoodie off his head and handed it to me.
"Thanks" I smiled softly before slipping it on.
"We should get to class before some one ends up dead" I joked but none off them seemed amused.
They just nodded and we headed to class.
Sitting down in my spot Emery glanced at me and looked away before quickly doing a double take.
"What happened?!" She exclaimed.
Sighing.
"RedHawks, they ambushed me after I left the hospital" I explained
"Oh my god.. Did you see any faces?" She asked.
I shook my head and sighed.
"No it was too dark. All I know was it was a couple older RedHawks" I shrugged.
"Were your parents upset?"
"Oh yeah" I sighed.
"How bad does it hurt on a scale one to 11?" She asked.
"11 hundred" I winced shifting in my seat.
She sighed.
"Did you tell your mom at least?",
I nodded.
"Yeah she's the one who found me. Her sirens scared them off",I explained.
"Is she gonna do anything about it?",
"There's not much she can do. The cameras were tampered with and there were no witnesses besides me" I grumbled.
She was about to say something when the teacher came in and started class.

Sitting by myself in the back if the lunchroom I pulled out my phone and began texting Julia.
