One of each? What is he talking about? One devil and one angel? The thought makes me shiver. While I lived in the Angelic world, we were told that devils didn't care about people's feelings, or what they did and how it effects others. How can someone be so careless, I do not know. I sigh, taking in this information. I'll have to save for later. I close my eyes. I think I know who the angel is: Fabian. He's so sweet and caring. He can't be evil. He's not.
"Julian?" Fabian asks. "I won't tell anyone, I swear."
I look into his eyes. In the Angelic world, saying your word was the most important promise you could make. It was an oath. I'm starting to see Earth is very different. I want to trust him, but my judgement says otherwise. But in my heart, I think he's safe. Mom always said to trust your heart. Since it's the only advice a parent ever gave me, I live by it.
"Julian?" He asks again. "Did you fall asleep on me?"
"Maybe." I whisper, falling back onto the matress. Fabian laughs and it's like a lullaby.
"Good night, Julian."
"Good night Fabian."
***************************************************************************************
I wake up to the sound of an alarm blasting in my ear. I sit up straight and slap the right side of me. The sun blindes me for a second, but soon I can see again. Danny is standing infront of me, arms crossed, fully dressed and glaring at me with her daggar-like grey eyes. I gasp.
"What are you doing in this room?" I demand, forgetting my manners.
"You slapped my phone." she replys with no emotion. "Get up, we're going to school."
I have a simple flashback of me trying to kill my father. What fun!
"School?" I say, clearly confussed.
"Yeah school. The sucktastic place where teens are tortured to learn stuff they never use again. School. Haven't you been?"
"No, I was homeschooled." I lie, trying to ignore the guilt in my stomach. Danny shrugs and tosses me a pair of ripped skinny jeans, and a flowery pink top I doubt is hers. She aburpty turns around and shuts the door. I get changed in a flash and leave the room. Danny and Bo are waiting outside.
Bo is wearing a bright yellow sweatshirt over his face which doesn't suit his personality to me, atleast. He wears baggy jeans and hiker boots. Danny wore a pair of the same jeans I had on, black converse that were dirty and drawn on with meaningless designs. Her shirt had what looked like a band titled Black Veil Brides on it and a white undershirt behind it. When they saw me come out, Danny smiles alittle but Bo ignores me, even though he sees me. I look down. I hate when it feels like people judge me.
"Ready for school?" Danny says, trying to make conversation. I fiddle with my hair.
"Yes." I say nothing else, for there is nothing else to say. The akwardness is so thick you could cut it with a knife, until Fabian enters. He smiles and I feel better.
Behind him stands a girl I do not recongize. She's tall, and has a demanding presence, but not intimidating. Her curly hair is light brown, cut in a boy's style. She has dark black eyes that study you. She wears a vintage dress. Suddenly, I notice a gleam by her leg. She has a mecanical leg. I feel complete sadness. What could have happened? She notices me looking and laughs.
"My name's Catalina, but you can call me Cat or Simon." She tells me, her voice light and cheerful.
"Simon?" I question, my curiousity getting the best of me. "Why?"
"Long story." Danny states, before Cat can answer. Cat shoots Danny a look between loathing and pity. Mixed signals do not help my already messed up brain.
Fabian rolls his eyes and starts out the brokendown door. Bo follows, pushing me alittle as he walks past. I stifien a surprise gasp. No one EVER dreamed of doing that at home. And for the one hundreth time I remember that I'm not home. I don't want to go home. Though this life is ruthless, somewhat-okey VERY confussing and dangerous, it was special. I felt like a belonged. Finally.
