Part 10

I woke up with the sweat pooling on my forehead. I wish that these nightmares would stop. It was mostly about Elijah.. I didn't know why, but he was my nightmare from time to time. I hated that- I heard Kyera come up the stairs and she ripped me from my thoughts when I saw that she had been crying. Why I didn't know but I was determined to find out about it. I walked downstairs when I heard someone talk and I quickly hid behind a corner to listen to what the people were talking about. "That bitch can't even keep her mouth shut if her life depended on it!" it was Ylva, one of the meaner girls and her squad. "I knowww, she really is a cold and shallow bitch" so many bitches in the world. Why did they have to use the word 'bitch' all the time, could they seriously not come up with a better way to insult anohter being? Wow, I would have gone with snake or dragongirl but idk. Ylva spotted me cowering in a corner and swatted her friend's leg and pointed to the door where a knock just came. Ylva went to open it and shouted "GEAR! NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" I peeked around the corner and there he was standing with. . . was that Mark behind him? He looked stone cold down at her before smacking her on the arm and she stepped aside. Mark had a bouquet in his hand and Gear had a box of chocolate as they walked up the stairs to Kyera's room. What in the world was going on? Were there some kind of relationship drama or had there just been a cat fight and I had no idea about it. Ida came up to me and whispered "Did you hear what she said about Ky?" I shook my head gently, I had no idea what had happened between those two. Ida swished some of her golden locks over her shoulder before continuing. "She fat shamed her, called her names and.." she stopped herself to take a breath. "what did she do more?" I asked, curious to know the rest. "she pulled her scale out." she shivered. She also had dragon like features but her body was shaped in a different way. She only had one, aqua tail with a maroon sharp end. It looked like it was sharp enough to cut through bones like it was cobweb. She had ripped out a scale from Kyera? I knew that dragons were very protective off their scales and kept them as clean as a newly cleaned window (bad example, I know) I stared at Ylva who was inspecting her friends' nails and then murmured something before going back to painting them in a deep green colour.

Kyera didn't show up for any of the other classes, as well as Mark didn't. I sat with Gear at lunch, only me and him and we were talking about what it would be like if the world was perfect and everyone was at peace. "It would be a lot more peaceful.." I said, knowing it was an obvious statement but it was somewhere to keep the converstaion going. Gear laughed slightly and said with a monotone voice "it indeed would" he winked at me and we both laughed at that. Gear kept on howling before he was hit in the back of the head with a glass bottle. The person who had hit him over the head was none other than... no not Dante for once. But Ylva. She said with a high pitched voice "why are you hanging out with such a nerd as Ashleyy?" she groaned slightly, not happy with his choice. "why did you have to hit me over the head with a glass bottle?" he growled at her and she took a step back. Knowing that Gear was probably one of the strongest people here since he could easily kick Dante's ass and he was in the top 5 it was a smart choice to back away from him. She shivered and said with her normal, annoying tone "why did you have to dump meee?" she earned a glare from him, I was confused as all hell. Had they been a thing? I knew that she was in the Wolfdale house but this was out of the ordinary. "we were never a thing, Ylva. Go back to the table." he stared her down and she had nothing else to win from this little argument and went back to the table admitting her defeat. I looked at him, confused about what just had happened. "Ylva is a real mean girl, if you didn't notice." he shrugged and I nodded agreeing "well, I could kind of tell" Gear smiled lightly before continuing "She always thinks we are a couple, but we aren't and will never be, trust me on that one." we both chuckled before we got interrupted by the bell. 5 minutes to get to class. I waved and headed off. I smiled to myself, thinking about Gear. I wasn't quite sure, but I knew I had something going on with him.
