My Demons (On Hold)

Ch. 16: School Drama

I sighed. Right now, I was sitting at my desk in my third block, chemistry, and Mrs. Rosalind was giving a lecture. She has been talking for forty minutes now about her favorite element on the periodic table, europium. I mean seriously! Instead of talking about just one element can't we get a variety? Also, not to disrespect europium and Europe, but seriously how many of you even know what that is? Well, I do now because I've been learning about it for forty five minutes now.

I'm not saying Mrs. Rosalind is a bad teacher, but this is getting old. Every Monday she decides she has a new favorite element, and she has to dedicate a whole class teaching us why we should love this element. Last week's favorite was dysprosium. Again, how many of you knows what that means?

I looked over at Leo, and saw that he had fallen asleep on his desk. I smiled at the peaceful look on his face. He looks so innocent and adorable right now.

As if he could sense my eyes on him, he slowly opened his eyes, and sleepily winked at me with a tired smile on his face. I smiled back, but quickly turned away as my face turned pink for getting caught staring at him.

The bell signaling the end of class finally rung, and I quickly packed up my things. Leo did the same, and when he was done he came over to me.

"Hey beautiful."

I blushed at the at 'beautiful'. Ever since we started dating he calls me something different every time he addresses me, not that I mind. "Hey Leo."

He pouted as we walked out of class. "Can't you call me something different like I do? I don't know, maybe handsome, prince charming, and, or, love of my life."

I chuckled. "Okay, that's just outrageous."

He sighed, but gently grabbed my hand. We went into our own thoughts, and Leo lightly swung our hands up and down.

Leo opened his mouth to say something, but was rudely interrupted by multiple girls screaming at a very high pitch. Leo and I both turned in the direction of the disruption, and saw multiple girls forming a circle around something, though we couldn't see who or what it was.

Leo frowned. "What's going on?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know, but I think we ought to find out."

He nodded, and we made our way to the screaming girls. As we got closer, I realized that the girls were shouting things like 'he's so good looking' and 'I want him all to myself'.

Before we could even try to shove our way through the crowd, the principal, Mrs. Kamla, started to threaten the girls with detention if they didn't get to class. Only a handful actually listened, and a sharp tweet from a whistle sounded at the end of the hall. Fortunately, all the girls had gone silent because I was starting to get a headache.

My gym teacher, Mr. Jordan, had his arms folded, and  an annoyed look on his face. "Whoever is still in this hallway will be forced to do two hundred push-ups, or your grade for any of your gym classes will be put down to a F!"

The halls were immediately emptied except for Leo and I. Just as we were about to go we discovered who was causing all the ruckus.

It was Grey. Grey was standing in the hallway with an annoyed look on his face, but when his eyes met with mine he immediately smirked.

Leo and I were both at a loss of words.

Finally, I spoke up. "Grey? What are you doing here?"

Mrs. Kamla, who just noticed we were standing there, turned toward us. "You already know our new student?"

Leo, and I gasped. "New student?"

Grey nodded his head. "Yep. Starting today I am now a student of this school."
