A Deal with The Devil

A Day To Remember...As it was the start of my nightmare

Harry's POV

I was scurrying down the hall, keeping my head down, trying my best not to draw any attention. Trying my best to avoid Daniel--the biggest bully in our school. But who are we kidding? I have the worst luck ever. Before I even got to my locker, I felt a sharp pain shooting across my sides. Oh.... great, just THE best way of starting a day, know why? 'Coz I needed to walk like an eccentric limping duck the entire day. I have lost everything. Ripped apart to shreds, leaving me behind to pick up the tiny fragrances of myself. No one cares, no one did, no one does and no one ever will. I'd always been perplexed why I haven't went up to the roof, gone over to the edge and walked right off it. I guess it's because there's this little hope in me that one day this will end, my prince will come, riding a horse, the sunlight beaming off his shining armour, looking ever so dashing. He would smile warmly at me, pick me up onto his horse and he will salvage me from this wretched place. But who am I kidding? Who am I to even GET the prince to even look at me? And I received a second blow to my face. That's when all hope seemed lost... faded away. But my prince, at that sane exact moment, walked through the doors of the school, charged into the hallways and saving me....or so I thought. ''Get away from him, dickhead.'' the mystery boy blurted. ''Whoo-hoo hoo! The new guy doesn't know his manners.... Hmm Don't worry, I'll teach you some.'' Daniel said whilst slamming his fist into his palm together. The mystery boy clicked his tongue as he said,'' you'll be the one who will be running home to mommy in tears and she'll teach you manners.'' Anger flashed across Daniel's face as what the new guy said ticked him off. No one has EVER talked back to Daniel, hell, no one has ever looked into Daniel's eyes. And now a new bloke comes in, strut around and talked to Daniel, without bowing their heads like when you're talking to a king. Hell, he wasn't a king, he was an emperor in this school! Daniel was bursting with anger whilst the others around him were simply amused. The new guy was definitely skinnier than Daniel, he'll most likely get beaten up by Daniel.... Poor boy. Daniel threw a punch at the guy as the guy ducked, making Daniel's fist contacted the locker. He gasped in pain as a smirk plastered on the new guy's face. The new guy kicked Daniel in the ribs and Daniel grabbed the bloke's leg, causing him to trip, falling on his bum. The gut was straddled between Daniel's legs and Daniel repeatedly hit the guy's face. The mystery guy somehow flipped down over so he was on top, mumbling something before punching Daniel, knocking him out cold. The crowd remained silent for about 5 seconds when Daniel passed out. Then they let out deafening cheers, causing me myself to cover my ears. Man! They were loud. The mystery guy walked over toe and I shot him a warm smile, murmuring thanks to him as he took his hand out, I took it and he pulled me up. He grinned brightly at me as I returned a warm smile. ''I'm Louis,'' he said. ''You have a bloody nose Louis, you should go to the infirmary.'' I said as I turned on my heels, about to stroll off. ''Wait! What's your name?'' I chuckled and replied,'' why do you wanna know? I don't matter anyways, never has.'' I started to walk again but he placed a hand on my shoulder, forcing me to stop in my tracks and flinch at the same time. It was like an instinct... when people touches me, I automatically flinch and grimace. A shocked expression was spread across Louis's face when I flinched, I could have sworn that I saw that there was a brief moment of sympathy in Louis's eyes before giving me an apologetic smile whilst saying,'' everyone is unique in their own ways. So what's your name? Or should I just call you 'stranger'? a laugh following. I exhaled and shook my head as I replied,'' trust me, I'm not anything special. But if you must know, name's Harry.'' I sighed before striding off, ignoring Louis and the crowd cheering behind me. The truth is, I think the school is a little sick of Daniel. A lot of people feared him and genuinely hated him. But now, it seems like this ''Louis'' character will be the new big cheese.
