The Devil's Smile

The Devil's Smile ~ Two

~Arlo's POV~

"Des! Wait I didn't mean it in a bad way!" I was pretty much sprinting to keep up with the girl with the dark red hair in front of me. She stopped abruptly and I almost ran straight into her, she turned sharply on her heel glaring at me. "Leave. Me. Alone. English is over and you said you'd leave me alone outside of English, so fuck off Faye." I started at her honestly appalled at how mad she was, but I was tried of getting told to fuck of when I was only trying to be nice. "Fine then, I will Desdemona, now I see why you don't have any friends in this school." I pushed pasted her and stormed to my next class.

I walked into history with a dark aura surrounding me, Desdemona can have that effect on you. I slid into a chair to have Maria sit next to me with a pout on her face. "What did that bitch do to you Arry-boo, I don't like to see your aura all dark and black." I was about to snap at her to not call Des a bitch and that only she was allowed to call me that when a marvelous idea pop into my head, love was a much stronger feeling than fear, I could rule over Des and this school if the entire school loved me and hated her, she was friendless so it would be easier, I felt bad about doing it do Des, but she had to learn how to be nice to others, with that thought I started my plan putting my arm over Marias' shoulders and smiling an award winning smile at her.

~Desdemona's POV~

I skipped math class, deciding to wonder the halls instead, I was mulling over the words Arlo had said to me, I didn't have any friends in this school I never wanted any, but Arlo did make English more entertaining for me and it was nice talking to someone.

I was about to turn the corner, but stopped when I heard a voice. "Come on you're a succubus, you don't really want me to stop." I could tell by his voice he was a male siren, trying to enchant the poor succubus in front of him. I turned the corner my steps silent, the succubus was pressed up against the wall the siren who I've identified as Maria's brother Nathan, these sirens were really getting on my nerves today. I strolled up the girls eyes widening in fear as she saw me. "Nathan you know it's against the rules to harass another student and you could get expelled for molesting said student." Nathan had dropped the girl who was now in a ball on the ground, he glared at me and I glared back making him break eye contact. "What proof do you have I could say that she tried to seduce me and that gets her expelled" I looked at him with the same blank look I gave everyone, my lilac eyes looking at him void of emotion. "Do you think the principal would doubt the devils daughter and risk having the wrath of Lucifer himself brought upon him?" I picked him up by his collar and slammed him against the wall near us. "don't touch her or anyone else in a way they do not want to be touched, do you understand me?" he didn't answer and I pushed harder against his neck stopping most of the airflow. "I said. Do. You. Understand. Me." I released and he instantly gasped for breath cradling his neck. "Yes, I understand Blackwood," he managed to choke out, I stared at him until he got up and left. I looked over at the girl still on the ground and stuck my hand out to her. "Come on lets get you to the nurse," she grabbed my hand and I helped her up smiling at her with my eyes my irises brightening to an almost white color. "Are you okay? Nathan is such a jackass, sorry he had to make you his next sexual harassment target, what's your name?" the girl seemed hesitant at first but finally smiled softly at me. "it's Lilliana Monroe, but just call me Lil" my head snapped up when I heard footsteps running this way and pushed Lil behind me, almost protectively, when a guy with bright pink and blue hair came barreling around the corner. "NATHAN YOU TWIT YOU BETTER LEAVE MY-" he stopped mid-sentence when he saw me and took on a timid look. "I'm so sorry Blackwood I didn't know you were here, I'll just take Lil and we'll be on my way" I was personally stunned into silence by his personality if I was being honest with myself. These two were new to me I've never seen them or even heard anything about them. "I'm guessing your Lil's friend? And you can just call me Dee, only people I don't like have to call me by my last name." Lilliana had came out from behind me and went to her friend. "Dee helped get Nathan to leave me alone for good." She had a bright smile on her face and drug her friend towards me, I put my hands behind my back as a sign on peace. "I don't like bullies and that sounds hypocritical I know, but I mainly focus on the upper class men who bully others and everyone else just kinda took it like I was against them all so I adjusted to their attitudes," The guy gave a knowing smile and slung his arm around my shoulder. "So you're actually really nice, but you got misjudged and now you're personally suffering for it?" I mumbled out an agreement, and almost instantly my answer they both wrapped me into a hug, I personally felt extremely awkward, not being used to physical interactment other than fighting people. "I don't mean to sound rude...But I'm not really used to physical contact" they let go and smiled at me, the dudes arm still around my shoulders. "Oh! I'm Leonardo Harlem, but you can just call me Leo! I'm a pixie and if you haven't noticed by my lack of pick up lines very VERY not straight." I looked at them a gleam in my eyes. "You guys ready to rule the school with me, because I think you guys are, just imagine Nathan trying to do things with Lil again and you got the face that everyone avoids." they nodded their heads and slung their bags over their shoulders. Smirking as the bell rung we made our way down the hallway, students staring at the two new people at my sides. I stopped and cleared my throat making the attention fall on me. "Alrighty as you may have already noticed the two people next to me are my friends and they will be treated with respect or you will have to deal with me. They are to be addressed by their last names, Harlem and Monroe." I looked over at them to see them looking pissed off and as approachable as a hungry bear, I was personally proud of them considering not even fifteen minutes ago Lil was crying on the floor about to get raped. I sent the students a meaningful glare meaning my speech was over and to get moving on. The students rushed on to get to their classes on time and when the bell rung only six students remained. Lilliana, Leonardo, Maria, Arlo, Nathan and I. We stood there and glared at each other for a while, before Arlo finally spoke up. "I see you managed to scrape the bottom of the barrel for some friends, what you do, pay them or threaten them to hang out with you?" His words honestly shocked me, he seemed so nice in English even eager to work with me and try being my friend, but oh well, if he was out of my life then I wouldn't have any complications later on with my father. I sneered at him as Lil and Leo glared at him. "No, I didn't Faye, unlike you I actually wanted to make these friends. Unlike you I don't use people for petty payback." I saw the surprise flicker through his golden eyes, we lost eye contact when Maria pushed her chest against his locking their lips together, I was surprised to say the least and even felt a little hurt. I guess Leo saw a broken emotion flow through my eyes, because he pulled me away and we went to our class together, history, and sat in the back of the class, listening to the mono tone voice of our professor drone out the rest of the foreign feeling that was left from looking at that scene.
