The Darkest Pleasures

Chapter 29

The next few chapters are going to be in someone else’s point of view, this won’t happen often.  These chapters are basically whatever Avery is telling Harry. However, I thought it would be easier to get the point across in someone else’s view like in a flashback other than Harry basically listening to Avery ramble on about her past. So hopefully you will enjoy it. Don’t forget to rate and comment J

Chapter 29

Avery’s POV

*Flash Back*

September 7, 2008

It was my first day of my freshman year of high school here at Cheshire Academy. It wasn’t my decision for me to be shipped off to boarding school, but I guess according to my parents it was what’s best for me.  In other words it was another excuse for my parents to ditch me so they can go travel the world and reminisce over their glory days. Which is basically a load of crap, I knew they didn’t want me they never have or ever will .So that’s why I’m here living on my own with a bunch of new people that I had no clue who they even were.  This wasn’t the first time I’ve been shipped off to boarding school, then before boarding school there was always a nanny to take care of me. Like I said my parents never really seemed to care about me. I am used to living around strangers. I guess it’s easy; you never have to have any real attachments.  I guess when they say you really only can count on yourself, they are true. 

But like I said it was my first day. I had just finished unpacking all my belongings I could bring with me.  I had met my roommate; she was a girl that was from some place in New York. She seemed to be in the same kind of parental situation like me, but seemed to have on interest in me. I guess she seemed more uptight with her wealthy lifestyle.  I mean the same could be said about myself, but I don’t like to put it up front. I don’t like it when people use mommy and daddy’s money for their own personal gain. She mentioned her name was Angelina and then she was out the door to do god knows what.

I probably sat around in my room for an hour before I finally decided to get up and actually go venture out and learn where everything exactly is in my new home. It was weird just walking around not knowing who everyone was. I could already see that there were established cliques of people, which were giving me looks being the scum beneath their feet. I guess that is how typical freshman are treated. I guess we are naive and easily able to control. I tried my best to not look at these people, because in a way I didn’t want to take any part in any of their lifestyles. I wanted to continue being the loner that I am.  It just is more comfortable being around myself, there are no expectations that I have to follow through with. 

I found myself at one point walking along this path that lead out into the woods behind the school. I knew that it probably wasn’t safe to head out here by myself, but I didn’t care. Just like how don’t really care about anything, just like how other people felt towards me.  

The deeper I walked into the woods I stumbled upon a pond, that had stumps placed all the edge. I wouldn’t have thought about them as a place to sit, except there was a girl sitting on one that was about 15 feet from me. I was about to turn around and walk away when she spoke out to me.

“You a freshman too?” She said turning around to come face to face with me.

That’s when I came in contact with these piecing hazel eyes. She was beautiful, in the most pure way.  I also think one of the things that also struck me hard was her accent. It wasn’t what I was used to hearing.

“Yeah.” I mumbled out.

“Perfect. I am in search for a friend and……..what was your name?” She spoke starting to stand up.
