Chapter 4: Punches Thrown

Point of View Angel:

I watch the secretary's eyes widen in surprise as I state my name but I hold still not letting her stare affect me. Meeting her eyes for a couple of moments, she quickly turns away and pulls out a file folder from the desk drawer to her left. "Ye-Yes of course. Black." She states aloud as though she is confirming more to herself rather than me.

Glancing around the office I study the different offices when my eyes land upon two dark brown, almost black, pairs of eyes staring at me through the glass window of an office. Glancing to the name plate on the door, I quickly turn back to the secretary trying to hide my recognition of the Principal and Vice Principal. "Miss. Black."

Meeting the eyes of the secretary she manages a fake smile and hands me a huge folder of information. "Since we have none of your information please make sure your parents sign this." Nodding, I take the folder and push it into my bag and the secretary hands me my schedule and rushes me out the door.

Such a bitch.

Moving through the hallway, I keep my head down and my hair in front of my face doing my best to try and fit in. It had been a while since I walked through a high school. Only for mission purposes though. I hadn't actually attended high school for my education experience. The Academy allowed me to take online classes and I was more than happy to opt out of the forced social experience.

Letting out a breath, I turn the corner only to find a small girl pinned up against the wall and a larger male pressing his knee in between her legs. I quickly begin to avert my eyes, thinking it is just a regular teenage couple going at it when I see the complete fear on the small girl's face and the boy's fist coming up. Instantly I begin to react.

Rushing forward, I place myself between the larger male and the girl easily catching his fist in my hands. Watching as the male freezes, his eyes widening, his pupil dilating. I can't help but smile. "You hit like a girl." I state and throw a single punch toward his stomach causing him to sink down to his knees. Reaching behind me, I grab the girls hand and lead her away from the empty staircase.

"Th-th-thank you." The girl whispers her voice shaken and I guide her down the hallway and into the bathroom before stopping. Turning, my eyes survey the girl, her blonde hair out of place but she looked fine other wise.

"No problem." I state letting out a slow breath. Rubbing my pained sides, I calm my breathing. Not even five minutes and I am already in a fight. Fucking hell was this going to be a wonderful day. And of course that is when I feel my pocket vibrate. Confused, I pause and pull out my phone. It is a text from Blackbourne.

Blackbourne: Thank you Miss. Parker. Please bring her to the nurses office.

Sucking in a sharp breath, I glance back to the girl standing behind me and her eyes widen at my sudden reaction. This was the ghost. My eyes wonder up and down her small figure and soft stature. Oh boy. She needed some training. Letting out a sigh, I glance to the girl once more her bright green eyes focused on me. "Your friends are starting to worry." I state smiling softly and I watch her eyes widen just as the male's had before.

Slowly pushing the bathroom door back open, I glance around before waving her forward and we exit the bathroom. "You know about my friends?" She asks quietly causing me to glance back at her. She was containing her surprise well for someone with no training from the academy. Nodding, I wave my hand slowly motioning for her to follow me and we move together down the hallway to the first corner.

Glancing back to her, I hold up my hand to stop and she nods quietly. Glancing around the corner, I let out a held breath before nodding that we are safe. Leading the way to the nurses office, she stays silent the entire way probably processing the few words I had said. Stepping into the hall of the nurses office, I take a slow breath knowing we are now in the clear and I move to the door and pause looking back to her.

Smiling, I wave her forward and open the door for her before stepping in myself. Instantly all nine pairs of eyes are on me as the girl rushes into the room to one of the boys sitting on a cot. Uncomfortable, I stay by the door, leaning against it slowly, I glance toward Mr. Blackbourne who nods his head. "Thank you Miss. Parker."

Glancing up to meet Mr. Blackbourne's steel grey eyes I shake my head ever so slightly. "Miss. Black." I respond and Mr. Blackbourne's eyes widen in surprise but the others in the room don't give him a chance to respond.

"Who the fucking hell is this?" A male states his eyes focused on me. His blonde and brown hair stands out but my eyes find the piercing lining his ears. Gabriel Coleman. Avoiding eye contact, I shift slightly, glancing once more to Mr. Blackbourne who frowns.

"Mr. Coleman language." He states and I frown knowing that he is going to be warning me a lot about that in the future. Guess I should get used to it.

"Owen, that doesn't answer the question. Who is she?" Another states and my eyes land upon a white lab coat and blonde curls. Sean Green. His eyes meet mine for a moment also assessing me.

"There will be a family meeting later tonight." Owen states briefly and I can see some of the others shift slightly unhappy with the answer particularly the one with glasses. Quickly, I glance to the girl who manages a small smile at me. Smiling back, I am literally saved by the bell and I quickly pull open the door to the nurse's office.

Moving down the hallway, I am close to slipping back into the crowd when a large hand catches my shoulder. Instantly I want to swing around and kick the figure not liking that they have breached my personal space but I bite my lip hard trying not to give away my cover as I glance up and meet unhappy dark brown eyes. Of course he wouldn't follow orders. North Taylor. Frowning, I glance around the hallway making sure there are no teachers in view when my eyes land on Mr. McCoy stalking down the hallway and my eyes widen.

"Look I get it. You want to know who I am and if I am a threat." I whisper softly keeping my eyes down casted as we move through a crowd of students. I easily pull out of his grip so it doesn't look to obvious that I am talking to him as we swerve around people. "But you are going to reveal that I am Academy in a second because McCoy is approaching." Seeing his eyes widen, I do my best to disappear in the crowd and round a corner taking him by surprise.

Taking two large deep breaths, I glance around the corner once making sure the coast is clear before moving to my class. Stepping in, all attention is brought to me and I sigh moving to the teacher. "Ah! Ms. Black! So glad you could join us. You may have a seat in the back next to Luke Taylor. Luke would you raise your hand."

A hand shoots up into the air and I nod to the teacher taking the text book from her hands before looking at the male raising his hand. Luke Taylor the older brother of the Taylors. Moving down the aisle, a few people make eye contact, mostly guys before I take the empty seat besides Luke. Putting my stuff down, I pull out a notebook and pencil as the teacher continues on with her lecture.

But as soon as the teacher turns away a note appears on my desk. Sighing, I glance to Luke who smiles softly and I roll my eyes. Unfolding the note, I frown at the handwriting.
