The angel

Chapter 2: Nero's POV

Staying at Mr and Mrs Stilinski's place feels weird, I feel so different when I'm there. Well, I should say it's Mr Stilinski's because Mrs Stilinski's passed away a long time ago. Anyway, tomorrow is another day at school so nothing should go wrong. For the first time in a while, the voice in my head was right.

I need sleep. I needed major sleep if I was going to make it through the day. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Stiles looking at me but deep in thought.

"Why were you walking away from us?" he asked in slight irritation.

"I hate crowds," I said.

"Makes sense," he said and walked to his room.
*****************The next day*********************

8:00 am

Ring, Ring

Ugh, I seriously have to get rid of this alarm clock. There was a knock on my door "yea" I said tiredly.

"Do you like that I set your alarm clock early so we're not late for school?" Stiles asked.

"Thank you so much, I appreciate it", I said sarcastically.

"Ouch, I don't want your thank you if you're gonna be like that," he said.

"Well then, no thank you," I said reluctantly. With that Stiles left the room shaking his head on the way out.

I took off my clothes put on a towel and headed towards the shower. When I got in I turned the tap to the second coldest setting and washed my hair letting it all rinse down my back.

Finally, I got out and went to Stiles's room to get some clothes, I was as quiet as a mouse. Light on my toes because I didn't want to cause a commotion. I got a white t-shirt with the words whatever on them and some blue jeans, I look pretty alright. With that, I headed downstairs for breakfast. I had toast and strawberries with some orange juice.

"Wow I love food but you must really love it. Anyway, you ready to go?", Stiles asked still amazed.

"Yea," I said. We made it to his blue jeep and then we headed off to school.

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

We reached our destination, school. Great, well it's most likely going to be the same as yesterday. As I head into my English class I see Jackson staring at me like he was waiting for me to make the wrong move. Of course, I didn't, I would have hated myself for giving him that satisfaction. I head to my seat next to Stiles, still not being able to feel comfortable knowing what happened yesterday. Still not sure if Scott smelled me or not, so I decided to put my energy into the lesson.

After the rest of my two lessons, which was math, it was time for lunch. I sat next to Scott since that was the only seat available, yay. There was this girl I quickly noticed sitting on her own, she looked so familiar but I couldn't remember from where.

"Nero!" Lydia said.

"Huh" I replied confused, "What is it?".

"Didn't you hear what I said, how long are you planning to stay here?" She said annoyed.

"I'm not sure maybe a long while", I said distractedly.

"Good to hear," Stiles said but all I could focus on was that girl. I don't know why but that girl looks familiar but I have no clue why what's going on?

I wasn't sure until I heard her ask
"Nero is that you?" 

In a confused state, I said "Oh yeah, who are you exactly?" I said in a harsh tone. By this, she looked a bit hurt. She had a bronze tone complexion, dark brown eyes that glistened ever so slightly in the sun, and armpit length curly black hair.

"It's me, Skye," she said. I couldn't believe it but looking at her now I knew it was Skye. I had no idea what came over me but I hugged her and swung her in the air.

Skye it is you! I can't believe you're back."

"Believe it," she said smiling.

"Um not to be rude but I just met you a few seconds ago, how do you two know each other already?" Stiles asked confused.

"Stiles this is my best friend, Skye".

With a hurt look on his face, he said "Aw, I thought I was your best friend".

"You are", I said, " but I've known Skye since I was six" I continued with.

"Well, I guess that seems fair," Stiles said.

I looked back at Skye and she seemed very self-conscious. I knew exactly who was making her feel that way, Scott. I told Skye that I missed her to distract her from Scott's glaring eyes and she said she missed me too. I was about to continue until Lydia cut me off. She asked if she was going to sit with us while also introducing her to Jackson I stood up and told her Skye and I was going somewhere else since I haven't seen her in ten years, but it was just to get her away from Scott.

I knew he was bad news, we walked out of the cafeteria as quickly as possible.

When we were very far away she said "phew, is that guy creepy, or is it just me?"

I laughed so hard and I said, "I know right" we both laughed this time.

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

We reached near outside, and we spoke for what felt like hours. I asked her about London when I was gone, she said it was boring. I also asked if she made friends here yet (more than the ones she had gotten already) knowing she was like me, she hated crowds. I asked about her sister who I haven't seen in a while, she told me she was fine and how she had started college and got a job. I also asked about her dad, she said he had placed a bid on a house and was close to winning. I hope he does I realised I thought this for selfish reasons. Then I asked about her mum who I hadn't seen in ten years, I instantly regretted it when I saw the look on her face.

"She's gone," she said a single tear fell from her face and I wiped it away.

All the words I could muster were "I'm sorry", which was hypocritical since I knew I didn't like pity.

I didn't ask what happened as I knew it would have been painful. She seemed to appreciate it since she gave a slight smile, then I hugged her.

She asked about dad. With her, I knew I didn't have to give her a poker face as she would already know how I feel. "

"He's gone too," I said, which wasn't a complete lie.

"I'm sorry," she said. Knowing she meant it since she was close with my dad.

We stayed silent for a minute, it wasn't awkward. We didn't have anything to say to each other because we were saying everything that needed to be said just by looking at each other.

It was perfect.
