Black wings

Chapter One

CHAPTER ONE

My eyes were focused on the clock as I was waiting for the bell to ring. Just five more minutes to endure. After this hour I had lunch. Finally saved of the endless talking of the teacher, although it was just the third period.

''...dance tomorrow tonight. And be safe, we don't want to miss any students next week.'' Mr. Banner said, just before the bell went. I don't understand why he said it, he hated us. He thought teens were good for nothing except for being lazy and drinking. He was always saying that in his days the youth was much better raised.

I quickly grabbed all my books and shoved them in my bag without any order. I was the first one to stand up and walking out of the classroom as if my life depended on.

The entire student body have their lunch at exactly the same time. So if you want something at the canteen you better hurry up. It was a battlefield in the hallways.

'Lilith, wait up! Lilith!' I turned around to the voice. My best friend Sherley was trying to catch up with me, so I stopped walking. When she reached me, she leaned on her knees to catch up her breath. She held her index finger up to show me she needed a minute or so. 

''Damn, you're one fast girl.'' she panted as she stood straight and brushed her blond her out of her face. 

Sherley was my best friend. Ever since we had this water fight in first grade. She had long blond her and pretty green eyes. To complete this picture she had a beautiful tan a lot of people were jealous of. The natural tan was due to the summers she spent in exotic countries. Her length was almost the same as mine but I was a few inches longer. My length was about 5'7''. Unlike her  I have long black hair and cold, electrifying blue eyes. My skin had a milky color.

Sometimes I didn't understand why we were friends. We were as opposites as we could be. She was outgoing and loved to go shopping while I was a quiet type that was at home mostly, listening to music. Not that I have a problem with that.

I sighed. ''What’s wrong?' I asked. Ever since I said that my dress was a surprise she has been bothering me with questions about my costume. The school dance was tomorrow. The theme was Halloween because tomorrow was Halloween aka my birthday, so as a BFF Sherley wanted everything to be perfect. After all you only turn eighteen once.

''What can't I greet my best friend without her assuming that there's something wrong? she asked innocently, while batting her eyelashes.

I rolled my eyes. Typical Sherley, acting innocent but she is like a wild cat. Waiting for its prey to move and then make their hit.

''Just say what you wanted to say."'  though I already know.

''Fine. The dance is tomorrow so don't you think I have the right to know what your wearing.'' She placed her hands on her hips and glared me down. ''I am your best friend. Right?' 

Now she was trying to play the guilt card on me.

''Ok, I will tell you.'' Her face cleared up immediately. '' My costume is.. , '' with every word her face lit a little more up.'',  ...black.

With that I slammed my locker close and run away. Her face was priceless, it was shock mixed with confusion. 

In the cafeteria was it a battlefield like I expected. Everyone wanted to buy the pizza that they served once a week. Of course I wouldn't waste my time with  un-healthy food. Not that I didn't like pizza but the pizza of the cafeteria is 90 percent fat  and 10 percent food. 

I looked around to find free table but every table was occupied.

 I sighed. Outside it is then. I turned around only to stand eye to eye with Layla, my older twin sister. Layla was older than me by 3 minutes. While I was the quite average girl, she was the queen bee of the school. Next to her stood  Savannah , her best friend and captain of the cheerleaders.  Both had a fake tan. Layla, unlike me, was a blonde.

I'm sure you could see the distaste in my eyes. Layla and Savannah were THE sluts of the school. I didn't understand how mom and dad could let her leave the house like that. They both had a to small tank top with a belt that they said it was a skirt.

''Well well, if it isn't my favorite little sister? Layla said with an evil grin in her face. I shrugged. ''I'm your only sister.'' was my smart ass reply.

''Out of our way, bitch.'' Savannah said. Then she linked her arm with Layla and walked away. She bumped her shoulder against mine while walking away. '' Oops.'' Layla said. But we all new she did it deliberately.

I didn't know what happened to my sister. We were so close when we were small. She was a typical tomboy. Everything changed when we both went to middle school. She thought popularity was much more important than family.

I looked at my watch to see I had only 25 minutes left. I quickly walked outside and sat on a bench there. As I looked around I saw no one outside. Probably because the wind was blowing the hard.   Absently I ate my lunch thinking about my costume. 

Unlike everyone else I made my costume. I've spent months on it searching for the right materials. I knew that Layla and Savannah's costume was almost similar to mine. But they had white as main color while I had black. Theirs looked slutty while mine was sexy and mysterious. 

And most important the wings they had plain white, fake wings. My wings were an inky black color that looked almost dark purple. My wings were also bigger and more realistic.

If you haven't guessed yet, my costume was of a fallen angel.

Running… Tree after tree flashed away and more came. Falling…. So hard on the ground. Crawling…. Back so that thing couldn’t catch me. I tried to look over it- no HIM. But all I saw were two endless pits. No emotion.

I shook out of my vision as the bell rang. Sighing I stood up and walked away. Away from the bench. Away from the shadows of wings on the ground behind the bench. Away from the lurking pair of black eyes.
