Seven Devils

Chapter 4

Perrie sat down at her friends' table during lunch, Liam saying that he wanted her to sit with them for once because he didn't want Jake and his friends to hurt her again. She smiled and thanked him for welcoming her to the table, also giving small smiles to the other on the table.

As she ate her food in silence, she felt someone's gaze on her, and it was very unsettling. At first she thought it was just because she's never in the lunch room and people may be wondering why she's there, but then she noticed that it came from a particular area of the cafeteria. She looked over her shoulder, her eyes immediately shifting to a table in the back corner...seeing it filled with people that she's never seen before, and she realizes that they don't even go to her school.

They're sitting in a small semi-circle on one half of the table, and Perrie can't help herself from staring at them in their glory. She felt like she was looking at the Cullen's table in 'Twilight'.

A handsome young man with chestnut curls and green-eyes sat in the middle of the five, the rose tucked into the pocket of his tux making him stand out. Then there was another young man sitting to his left, wearing a small smirk as he surveyed the lunch room, a hand running through his dark black hair, but it quickly left as he slammed his hand down on the table, making the lad next to him stop tapping his fingers against the wooden surface. The boy with blonde hair and blue eyes looked up from his plate of food that he seemed to have nicked from the lunch line, pausing only momentarily to give an apologetic look to the now agitated young man next to him, then going straight back to continuously eating his food. The lad on the other side of the middle man laughed at the small scene that happened with the two other boys, his sparkling blue eyes quickly filling with jealousy as he stops laughing, watching the boy in the middle place a hand on the agitated one's shoulder, trying to calm him down. All of the males were wearing fancy suits and ties, making them look much older and quite out of place. Then there was a girl next to the jealous boy, rolling her eyes as she watched them all, going back to focus on her perfectly painted nails as she tried to ignore them. Her skin-tight black dress brought out her flawless curves, her reddish-brown hair flowing over her shoulders effortlessly somehow being able to bring out her gorgeous hazel eyes.

She had no clue who these people were, and it really confused her as she watched them continue to sit there, obviously out of place...but they didn't care.

It confused her even more as she saw Leigh-Anne walk up to them, talking to them in an obviously hushed tone. A shiver ran down her spine as all six at the table turned their heads to look at her, purposely making eye contact. She quickly turned her head around, getting back to eating, but she could still feel them staring at her.

The only thing that her mind was focusing on, other than the five random people at the back table, was the fact that Jade hadn't shown up to school today.

"Mom, I'm home!", Perrie shouts as she opens the door to her small little home, happy that the school day was finally over and she could relax.

"Perrie." That wasn't her mom.

The blonde cautiously walked a couple more steps inside, stopping in her tracks once she spotted the familiar brunette on her staircase.

"Jade? How did you get in?", she asked, bewildered.

"Your mom let me in, but that's not important right now. I...I really need to talk to you."

"Oh my gosh! I have to talk to you too! You missed it at school today, there were these five weird people at a table during lunch, just looking around creepily. Then Leigh-Anne went up and talked to them...weird, huh? What do you-hey!" Perrie is cut off from her story as Jade grabs her by the wrist, pulling the girl up the stairs and into her room. Perrie watches with her mouth open, still waiting to say something, as Jade closes the bedroom door behind her, starting to pace back and forth once she did so. "What's up with you?"
