A Dream Come True! [On Hiatus]

Chapter 9: Mixed emotions.

Scarlett's POV

I enter the pearly white hallways of Seikō high, thrusting my luminous yellow backpack back and forth. Exactly, in full swag. I catch pairs of rolling eyes and laughter, but should I care? Today's the dinner with the Stefan family. Aunt Cailey also promised to take me shopping for new glimmering outfits! Can't wait for that!

My sight focusses on a pair of bloodshot, glassy, sea-green eyes. Raven hair shot out in all directions and a light green hair strand cutting through the bridge of her nose. A ragged up, grey tang top; paired with white tights, covers this feminine body.

"S-Shannon! What on earth happened?", I ask, with worry lacing in my voice.

"Dad happened, Scarr...", her tone cracks, as if it's not been used for centuries.

Oh, that's right... Shannon's father is a very menacing person. He would abuse Shannon when ever he pleases. I simply hated it, if I were a cop, I would set him a death sentence. This could explain, Shannon being all tough. Ever heard of a child taking care of her self? Guess not.... But Shannon here, she practically had no mother. She died after giving birth to Shanny... Talk about tragic.. So ever since then, her dad would abuse her in horrible ways, though she kept it secret. Shanny, would mostly spend her days at my house, not wanting her dad to know. And since there's no one protecting her (like her mom would do) her stupid dad would do all sorts of things... Oh gosh, what did he cause this time?

"Shanny, look at me... You must seriously talk to the police! This abusing has been going on for years! Plus, it's illegal!", I try my best to persuade her.

"Are you insane? I don't want to lose another parent Scarr... He cannot get arrested!", she snaps, which is out of character.

"I-I'm sorry...I'm just moody right now...", she sighs deeply.

"Talk to me when you're ready k?", I whisper, to which she nods.

I smile while patting her back. I turn my gaze to the lockers, where we are standing. Two male figures walk in with pride, one who I recognized as Robin and the other.... Who is he? A slender guy, wearing a suit (pshhhh, so old school!), he whispers something to Robin, making him smirk at our direction. What the hell? The guy's an inch taller than Robin is btw. He's straight caramel hair, is gelled up into a cool style. As they stalk closer, I see his high cheek bones and brown eyes, like two orbs. (They're quite big).

"Girls, meet Mr. Good-boy...", Robin gestures to this mysterious fellow.

"Hey! Mi nombre es Nash. Encantada de conocerte dos..."

What??? Was that Spanish?!

"Hello!? English please?", Shannon snaps.

Way of greeting a person we don't know, Shanny....

"Ummmm... Right.. Sorry ladies, the name's Nash Myers!", he rings with his slightly Spanish accent.

"Scarlett... Hi, Nash", I acknowledge him.

"Shannon here", Shannon says rather coldly.

Nash (as he said), studies Shannon as if she were an encyclopedia. He then extends his hand for a shake, but being the boyish Shannon, she slaps it.

"Okie.....", he pulls it back in seconds, as if she were infested. Shannon just scrunches up her face in disgust. Warning: never act alien to her boyish ways. (it pisses her off!)

"Ok, Nash here is my best buddy. We met in California, where Pops appointed him to be my guardian. You know...a guy who always looks into my bad behavior. It all happened when I lit fire to-"
