Hidden From The World

Welcome to hell -edited-

Welcome to hell

“S-sorry” I stuttered under my breath. He ran a hand through his black short hair, making them stand and give him a messy sexy look. I looked down back at the ground, letting my hair fall on my face again.

“Sorry doesn’t cut it freak” He was still smirking. I wish I could’ve slapped it of his face but that would do no good. He was trained, bigger then me and faster than me even though I was brought up in a circus. Unless I want to end up with a broken arm, I thought to keep clear of him. “You got your smell on my favourite shirt” He spat.

Oh my god, please someone give numbnuts a brain here. Dude get over it, it was just a stupid shirt! I tried to move past him and his team of slut cheerleaders and jerk football players. But he blocked my way and smirked when I glared at him. He snatched my books out of my hands and threw it on the ground. Will was by my side that moment. My brother was 6’0 but Rafe is 6’3 and they were equally muscled and athletic. I put a hand on Will’s chest and gently pushed him back by my side.

“What’s your problem, Merrick” Will growled. Rafe looked at me and smirked.

”HER” He spat.

“If you do then go and take it out n a punching bag. She puts up with enough hits at ho...” My eyes widened at that moment.

“Will” I warned and he stopped speaking and backed away a calming down. Rafe stared at me then Will.

“Are you two siblings?” He asked with a sly look.

“None of your damn business” I spat back. I shouldn’t have said that. If looks could kill then I would’ve been already dead. He looked at me as if he wanted to set me on fire and bury me alive. I couldn’t stop staring at the menacing sly look in his storm eyes. Will noticed it too and yanked me by the elbow. Trying to lead me away and I didn’t protest that much also.

We stopped in front of history class. Will look around like as if Rafe could jump out at any second and thrash me to death but I couldn’t blame him. I did send the captain of the football team of the edge but it was no use in keeping me safe now because unfortunately, I had history with Rafe.

Will nodded at me as I went inside the classroom and took my place in the back. Keeping my face hidden, I buried myself into the history of the ancient Egyptians. I was half way on the text when someone poked me from the back with a pencil. I knew it was Rafe so I didn’t answer. He poked me again and I still ignored him now he poked twice again and this sends me over the edge. I whipped around to see him smirking.

“Your little brother isn’t here to protect you now is he” He said, staring deep into my eyes. Eyes that look so much like my mom’s silver ones. It was brighter than Rafe’s but while his was full of emotions and resembled an open window to the soul, mine were bright and emotionless and a closed window to the soul. I managed to glare at Rafe.

“Welcome to hell Lex” He said while smirking. He glanced all around the classroom and his eyes stopped at his football group and his slut of the week; Bree. Her long hair tied to a ponytail and her sluty skirt that reached up to the middle of her thigh inched higher. Her white and pink butterfly tank-top clung to her body like a second skin. Her make-up even screamed out SLUT. I groaned.

Please put on your seatbelts and enjoy the ride through hell.

“Hey Lexi, did you hit your head too hard on Rafe’s chest that you forgot to brush your hair?” snickered Bree. I rolled my eyes and looked back down

“I guess she did hit her head, hard because she is staring at nothing” said Rafe. “I mean, who couldn’t forget because I am that hot that I make you forget to even look like you’re human” The whole class burst out laughing. This is going to be painful for them.

“No Bree, I didn’t forget to brush my because last gym period, I remember it being SQUASHED under your butt when you sat, then I remember the poor thing being SQUASHED again between you and Rafe here making out” I retorted and Bree and the class fell into pin drop silence. Good I had their attention and now for the main act. I pretended to turn back to my desk when I stopped mid way and I turned back to Rafe.

“Oh and Rafe, I forgot that I was looking at the desk because I was thinking that your IQ must be lower than a monkey who just swung from a branch and landed on the other on his balls, so numbnuts, I didn’t forget by thinking how hot you are but I was actually amazed because I couldn’t remember the last time you got an A in history” I smirked and turned around on my seat and continued reading but the class did not laugh at this because they knew that I was toast but I could hear restrained giggles. Echoing footsteps entered the class and I could only hear the pounding in my ears. Our new history teacher was something of a complete shock for me. He looked around 24 and a square jaw and lean built and hazel eyes with flecks of gold in the middle.

UNKNOWN P.O.V

The classroom was silent when I entered but I could hear restrained giggles and I was certainly not having a giggling class.

“Okay students, my name is Gabriel Morrison and I am your history teacher today and if you are trying to talk and laugh then do so in the next two minutes.” The class burst out laughing and then talking. I saw a student; I might’ve seen him in the principal’s office. His son was glaring at a seventeen year old girl and the girl was just staring down and reading her notes. Her eyes flashed to mine, metallic silver and I would know those beautiful eyes anywhere. Lexi. The girl who was a little sister to me when me and mom worked with the circus. She shot me a wary smile and returned to her reading. I gestured everyone to sit down and they did and that’s how my first day began. Seeing my sister’s face just lit my whole day. I couldn’t meet anyone at this job, if I did, the students could really spread nasty rumours.

LEXI P.O.V

I survived halfway through the day and now came lunch. Great. I picked up a water bottle and a turkey and mayo sandwich and headed over to Bryn and Lake’s table. They both were my best friends. Bryn had a boyfriend who always sat with us. Will and me sat down opposite of them and started talking about a history project Will needed help for when Rafe walked over to our table with Bree tagging along.

“You owe us an apology, Merrise” Rafe spat, looking at me. I just rolled my eyes and returned back to eating peacefully when Rafe banged his fist on the table. That when an uninvited memory pierced through me.

His fist plunged into my stomach several times before he knocked me on the cheek. The pain over came the urge to scream and I collapsed on the floor in a crying heap. I could feel my ribs shattering as he kicked my stomach again and again. I could see black spots dancing on my vision and the last thing I could see was Will hovering over me. Pleading me to stay awake.

I snapped out of my thoughts in the same second and cleared my throat. I was suddenly afraid of Rafe and the menacing look on his face and anger filled in his eyes but I wasn’t going to let fear over take so I did apologize but it was more of an insult AGAIN.

“I am sorry I called you a slut, slut” I turned to Rafe. ”And I am sorry for calling you dumb, dumbass” I said to them.

The whole lunchroom was laughing but one look from Rafe and they were quiet. I smirked at them. I could see the steam blowing off from their noses.

“You are going to pay for all of this” Screamed Bree but Rafe looked calm and that was not good. Hell that was bad.

Lunch was the last interesting event in the whole day so the rest of it went in a blur until afternoon.
