Predators and Prey

Chapter 3: I hate myself sometimes...

Christina's P.O.V:

Once the bell rung, I took all my things and headed out the classroom as quick as possible.

Yeah yeah, I know I should stay, pretend to like the classroom so much that someone has to drag me out of there. But let me be real. Without Lucas imPreston to brighten up the teacher ,who has no soul, I will be questioned and a detention will be issued my way.

So I am acting professionally and smartly by leaving the classroom.

Plus I hate the teacher, so win win.

The corridors were empty ,since no one is out yet.

Oh no...I have to get out of here...NOW! 

Do you know how many broken fingers and bones occurred during the rush out?

Too many.

My legs scurried me along. In my head this was like those scenes in the movies ,when the hero jumps or gets out the way just in the nick of time. Just take out the cars, trains, actual danger and explosions, then it's pretty much the same.

I hurried outside, the corridors were quite old looking as this is an aged school and windy. I took turns left , right, and center until I made it to the exit.

Success! I heard the shuffle and yells of the animals...I mean students behind me. I exited the the school with a sigh of relief. I avoided being trampled for today.

This was also, the end of another day of being astonished by the level of stupidity of these pupils. 

I was expecting to just walk to my dorm which is near the other entrance of the school well, since the people who made the layout of the school had to work around the old blueprints, the way to the dorms is a bit complicated.

But no. This stupid child, Lucas Preston ,or whatever his name is, thinks otherwise.

His hand landed on my shoulder, making me flinch. You know ,since people don't touch,be near,hear,breath on and most importantly SEE me - it surprised me. It would of definitely surprised me more if I didn't see him in the corner of my eye before. I don't know hat I would've done. Probably punched him square in the jaw.

"Hello, Chris..." Said the all stupid one. What annoyed me more was he used Chris, which only my friends use. Last time I checked the list he wasn't there but guess what. The Death list grew by one. Reason: attracting too much attention.

"What do you want?" I asked annoyed

"Chill, I was just wanting some directions to the boys dorm."

I just realised my tone, good job Chris. Bring more and more attention to yourself, why don't ya! Wait a second, Why is he asking me?! I am a girl, I look like a girl OK? Way to lower my esteem Preston.

"Sorry... I am a bit tired and stuff... ummm... Why are you asking me, I don't go there often..." I put on my sickly sweet voice.

"Well, if you got to know me ,maybe we would got there more often..."

If he ever touches me again I will slice his hand off ,I would not give a damn.

At this I turned round to head to my dorm. This is what I get for trying to be fake nice to people, disgusting comments.

"Keep you cool Chris. I'm sorry."

"It's down the hall, to the right." I said this in a monotone voice,as the nerd Christina is suppose to forgive easily, you know as a small naive girl.

"Please show me, I am really bad with directions,"

Sighing I headed towards the boys dorm, obviously I am not gonna go inside ,because I'll get in a lot of trouble and also, because just no.

"Back there you ran fast, you got speedy legs don't you, and you ran pretty straight without your glasses."

Damn it, he saw and it was my fault for not thinking through properly ,basically I was being stupid. This is why I hate myself sometimes for not thinking things through properly.

"Yeah ummm, I had lenses on...so it was easier to see..." I mentally face palmed myself and is if on cue he questioned it further.

"Then why did you have to move to the front?" He raised his eyebrows making his eyes more prominent, those hazel eyes.

They look just like mud, and dirty like his mind.

"The lenses are...umm.. itchy sometimes so, I went to the front so, I won't have to wear them...yeah." Every word and action today is adding to my hate for myself.

"Oh OK, but still not a valid excuse for leaving me Chris." He sounded as if he still did not believe me ,but at least he changed the subject.

"Sorry, now could you please not call me Chris - only my friends call me that."

He proceeded to clutch his heart and give me a hurt look.

"I thought we were already friends, unless you want to be something more than that?"

" First off, met you only today dude which means we cannot be friends, second off no way, why are you asking a nerd anyway?"

I look down at my clothes, yes still the same baggy and criss-crossed sweater and baggy trousers. Same pig tails. 

"I flirt with all the girls ,but they dig it. You deny me."

Cocky brat - that's what he is. The girls are already swooning over him and I just noticed all the stares I am getting from people around ,since I am standing next to the new kid who can match the popular guys' attractiveness in a heart beat.

As if they read my mind, Brandon Douglass , Liam Parrlock and Jacob Silvelock step around the corner with an army of admirers at their feet. 

Just great, I turned on my heel and called out over my shoulder.

"The boys dorm is next right, bye."

He gave me a confused look and just when he was about to follow me, the 'hottest' guys in our school cornered him.

Adios, and good riddance. Please don't say anything stupid to them, like mentioning me.

I hurried to my dorm, being glad it's a Friday and hoped that I will not be questioned by anyone.

Am I moving too slowly guys? I feel like when I write I put a lot of description and thoughts rather than events. This may be because of it being the beginning? I don't really know.

Just tell me if you think so, or if it is actually ok.

Very arrogant is Lucas ,isn't he? Why did he pick poor Chris to bother? Your going to reveal her dammit! THINK OF YOUR ACTIONS PRESTON.

Don't worry, I can call Christina Chris. She gave me permission.

Ask any question (obviously not anything that will spoil the book) or give opinions in the comments please.

That is all from me, 

Stay awesome,

Much love,
