The Distance

~ Chapter I : part 3 ~

Iris' POV

  I grabbed her by the neck and almost slam her against the wall, my green and dark blue eyes glistened under the sun beams that shine down where we were. She yelped and freaked out and gave me a frightened look with her golden eyes widening. "Next time we meet I will show no mercy to you and you'll be the one to look the other way.. so no matter how nice you are with me I will be the opposite got that?" I say sternly and slowly starts choking her. I didn't intend to kill people but if I have to, to show that I'm worthy and stronger than anyone in this academy then I must. I waited for her to give me an answer as I kept my hand around her throat. I could sense her aura wasn't as strong as mine so beating her wouldnt be much of a challenge.

Cybil's POV

   'oh my fucking god.. she's choking me and I could die from having a heart attack.. She could have a rough play thing if she's gay.. the fact I want to just kiss her till she's numb.. stop Cybil this isn't helping you when you could die at the moment!' My thoughts were going wild and I just nod frantically to what she said. "yep yep youre better and I totally understand uhh.. what's your name if I may ask?" my voice cracks a bit out of fear and I was trying to be nice. "My name is Iris Walker.. from the Walker Weapons Company.." She says and lets go of my throat, fixing herself as she glances around to see if anyone saw what she did. "Oh that's a nice name.. may I say you have nice ey-" She walked off before I could even finish my sentence. I try to breath and place my hand over where she choked me as I watch her walk off, "um bye I guess?.. nice meeting you Walker." I smile and wave, trying to play off that I was okay even though I was over here having a gay panic attack.

   I lightly bite my lip, trying to not smile but I couldn't help suddenly thinking naughty thoughts. I get a bit angry and shake my head, "nope no.. She almost tried to kill you stop it Cybil.. I'm gonna have to kick her ass to show that I wasn't scared when she grabbed my throat and threatened me." I put a serious face on and run my way back to the classroom where my friend Joan was waiting in class for me. I teleported real quick and pretend I was there the whole time then glances at Joan, "Can I borrow the notes so I can catch up?" I ask kindly. She glares at me and I gave her the puppy eyes, whinning softly till she rolls her eyes then hands me her notes. I smile softly and mouthed a thank you to her as I open my notes then quickly copies the notes I didn't get.

   As I write the notes down, I look up at my friend then to the side, debating whether or not I should tell her the encounter I had with Iris. As my eyes look off to the side I look up at the time and I saw I only had 5 minutes so I got down to business and rush to finish the notes. So I decide to tell her when me and her are alone so people don't spread rumors like I know some people do in this school. I was too busy thinking about the encounter that I had wrote her name down in the middle of the sentence, 'Damnit now you're gonna be the one I want to fight after the lunch hour is over.' I thought to myself as I quickly erase the name before my friend could ever see it and question who that person was. Eventually the bell rings and this hour ended and all the students got up and walked to the door, leaving to the dining hall for the lunch period.

    I manage to finish the last few sentences of the note as I hand back the notes to Joan then starts packing my things up. A thought about Iris enters my mind and curiosity does the rest of the work as my mind ask questions about her. I couldn't help but smile as I put my things away then Joan notices, "Um why are you smiling? unless it's something insultingly funny about me then I don't wanna hear it." She scoffs and walks down the stairs. I perk up real quick, noticing she was down the stairs, "Um nothing at all! I promise I was just smiling 'cause I was thinking about April." I smile at her as I make my way down the stairs then join her side as we leave to the dinning hall.

Iris' POV

  I walk out of the classroom I was in after a bunch of the other students have left and let out a sigh, getting up with my stuff. I walk by myself, knowing I didn't have a friend yet but had encounter a certain person before. I thought about her and how she reminded me almost like my mom since she had the red orange hair but she didn't have her eyes. I growl softly as I gritted my teeth together, 'no I shouldn't think about her.. she's simply just another ant in this stupid academy.' I thought to myself, clenching my fists around the straps of my bag. 'I better not run into her again or else I will actually break a bone in her body,' I thought to myself as I let out another sigh and see the dinning hall, filled with other students.

   I smile only a little since I didn't see any sign of that girl and I walked into the dining hall with ease. As I enter the hall the students looked at me as they soften their conversation, like I was their leader in which I'm not. Passing by many students, it started a ripple effect when one person did the same and followed and was looking at me till they continue to talk as I walk away from them. I went to the line and got myself lunch then walked to an empty table near the window as I glance around at everyone and starts eating.
