My Shadow

New Student

Hey there, demons...it's ya girl... back with another update! Hope ya like it. Sorry for the mistakes guys.

*************************

Larry had woken up to a small meal and a new school uniform. He figured that being followed a weird ghost shadow man wasn't a bad thing to have. He even grinned at the small note the man had left,

See you at school

He didn't know what it meant but it was nice so he shrugged and left the alleyway with a nice skip in his step. By the time he arrived at school, he noticed that he was a little late and the bell had already rung. His feet started to drag...he knew what this meant, he would be sent to the office as soon as he stepped foot in the hallways.

Larry slowed his process as much as he could. He took his time changing out his worn shoes and his books. He even spent an extra five minutes picking up the hate mail that overflowed from his locker. By the time he finished, he was more than sure that everyone had cleared out so he picked up his backpack and walked up to the steps to his floor. He was so close to making it but a hand grabbed the back of his jacket and pulled him into a hard chest.

"Ahh, Mr. Bourgeois."

Larry hung his head in shame and fear, it would have been okay if it was a teacher. Usually, they would just hit him and tell him to move along, but no, he had gotten caught by their very own principal. The man was as sleazy as anyone could get and he seemed to take great pleasure in making Larry uncomfortable.

"M-Mr. Park" Larry whispered, bowing his head in respect as gracefully as he could with someone trying to choke him from behind.

"You're late. Again," Mr. Park scoffed. He let go of his jacket only to forcefully turn the teen's body around. "You know that's against school rules, now you'll have to be punished." He smirked.

Larry shivered thinking of the last time he had gotten punished by Mr. Park. He was locked in a tight room, no bigger than a dog cage and left alone in the dark for four hours, by the time he was let out his whole body felt like it was throbbing from the pain. Seeing Larry's eyes widen in fear obviously pleased Mr. Park greatly. His smirk turned into a smile and he let out a small laugh, "Relax, Larry. As much as I want to, I don't have time to punish you today. So now you're in charge of the new student," he pointed to the boy behind him. Larry was so engrossed with his conversation with the principal that he didn't even notice him.

"I'll change his schedule to match yours so show him around and treat him good or,"
He leaned down and whispered, "I'll make sure you live to regret it. This boy is of utmost importance." Then he straightened his shoulders and walked away fixing his blazer but not before clapping the new student on the shoulder and saying some words of encouragement that Larry didn't bother to listen too.

Larry just stood there with his head down, trying to calm his breathing by counting the number of times he clenched and unclenched his fist. Once he was finished, he sighed and looked up at the new kid.

The boy was tall and incredibly handsome. Even in the dull school uniform, he looked as if it was made for him. His hair in a small twist was pulled back into a loose ponytail, showing off his sharp jawline and high cheekbones. His skin was flawlessly smooth and looked soft to the touch, but the most striking feature was his eyes. His deep red eyes that seemed to make you freeze once they locked on to you.

Larry truly believed that he was in the presence of a living Adonis but something was off. He was of course super attractive but his aura was dark, and Larry didn't know if he should run or bow. The boy felt dangerous and he could see why the principal would label him as important. He must be one of the many rich kids that went to school here and no doubt the boy would start to attack Larry once he figures out the standard around the school.

"Did you see my note?" The boy spoke with a voice that was as smooth as his looks.

Larry's face flushed involuntarily, "Uh... N-note?"

"Yes, I left you a note on top of your clothes."

Larry just looked at the boy as his mouth opened and closed in an attempt to form a word. There was so way-

"Um... O-old one?... Y-you're old one?!?" He pointed and whispered screamed.

The man nodded with one corner of his full lips turned up to reveal an abnormally sharp canine tooth, "I told you to give me some time to work on my appearance and voice. It took a little longer than normal but I think I got the gist on it. The only thing I can't get rid of is my teeth and eyes."

"Why not?" Larry asked, tilting his head as he stared at the man's teeth.

"I just can't, little one."

Larry nodded then watched the man some more. He just couldn't wrap his head around him. Like why was he here? And what did he want with Larry?

"Protection. I'm bored and I want to keep you... safe," The man nodded, pleased with his cover up because the last thing he needed was a scared human.

"Um...okay. Well before we go what is your name? I can't call you old one in school, it'll be weird."

"I'm registered as Laurent. Just call me that."

Larry nodded and repeated the name quietly. It suited him, an attractive name for an attractive man.

Glad you like it

Larry's face flushed at Laurent's words and rushed to his class. Once there, he slid the door open and walked in. The teacher immediately stopped talking and glared at him as the other students snickered, just waiting to see how he would be dealt with. The giggling turned to gasp though when Laurent followed behind him. The teacher instantly became friendly and showed Laurent where he would be seated, which was behind Larry. After this, the teacher quietly whispered to Laurent that he was sorry but it was the only seat left. It took all of Laurent's being to not snap his neck. Upon seeing Laurent's glare, he didn't even bother making Laurent do an introduction, he just told both of them to quietly take their seats. 

Laurent was annoyed at the way they treated Larry. You would have thought he had the black plague. These things didn't even have a reason to hate him, it was simply because they saw others hate him so they decided to join. It was amazing that they took him in so quickly. Many of them passing him notes, asking him personal things and he had half a mind to show them his true form and just take out the entire school. He didn't really care much for these beings anyway, especially the small ones. If it wasn't for Larry, he would have definitely acted on his wishes but now all he could do was sigh and lean back in the too small desk, stretching his legs and invading Larry's space by place his feet in between his. He let his lips curl up in a small grin as he sneaked through Larry's thoughts. They were adorable and, none surprisingly, mostly about him, seems like Larry really liked his human form. He was about to send Larry a few thoughts of his own when he got a little too comfortable and picked up on the teacher's thoughts.

Without a thought, he growled low in his chest but it was enough to cause the room to shake. The outside darkened and his entire being flickered in and out of his shadow form before he collected himself and leaned on the desk. Everyone in the room was cowering under thier desk, screeching something about an earthquake but Laurent's eyes never left the teachers as he stared back at him with a look was of pure fear. Laurent smiled darkly, showcasing his full set of overly sharp teeth. 

He would come for him tonight when Larry's properly tucked in.
