Agent of Death

Chapter Five

                                                                                    Graces POV

     "El! Hey." He called to her as he ran up to her. What is so great about her? She's pretty, sure, but Blade has known me since we were kids. His black jeans fit him so well and the black long sleeve shirt he wore made him look like a dark prince. He easily tied it all together with black combat boots. God he's handsome. I wish he'd look at me the way that I look at him...

     "Gracie, I-" Owen cut his sentence short when he saw the tears shimmering in my eyes. "Who did this? I'll kill them." The rage on his face was obvious. I don't want him to hurt Blade... He wouldn't stand a chance anyway, Blade works out three nights a week and Owen has never even seen the inside of a gym that wasn't in a high school.

     "It's fine bubby, I'm alright." His eyes called me a liar even if he wouldn't say it. "Really, I am. Blade just ditched me to talk to the new girl after I asked him about Luna's party." 

     "Oh... He's been kind of obsessed with her since he saw her run last class. I'm sure he'll get over it quickly, he always does. But hey, I came to ask you if you had heard back from mom. I want to know when dad will be back."

     "No, I haven't talked to her since we left this morning." 

     "Bummer. Well, I'll catch you later. I'm going to go break up Blade's little lunch date." He gave me a wicked smile.

     "Really, Owen? You too?"

     He winked at me as he walked away and I sighed in exasperation. 

                                                                               Owens POV

     I walked away from my sister and into the cafeteria. I looked around and saw Blade and Elizabeth sitting at a table near the back wall. She was beaming at him and he was laughing. My blood boiled in my veins and I wanted to throw him into a wall. I started to walk over when Luna interrupted me, "Hey there, Mavis. You look good today, you know I love you in red." She winked at me and put her hand on my arm. 

     "Not now, Luna." She's f*****g laughing, why is she laughing? Blade isn't even funny. 

     "Wait, Mavis. I'm downgrading my party. It got way too wild last week and my parents are starting to get suspicious. So, it's going to be more of a kickback instead. You and your sister are of course still invited but I need help spreading the word."

     "Yeah, cool, ask Gracie. I'm busy." 

     "You've never been too busy for me, what's the deal?" She followed my line of sight and saw Elizabeth and Blade laughing and sitting way too close. Oh my god he just f*****g touched her back. The audacity this dude has, why is she just letting him touch her like that? "The new girl?" She shook her head and walked off. I don't care, she's slept with almost every guy in this school and Lawrence High. She'll get over it.

     Elizabeth and Blade got up and I saw that he was carrying her tray for her. He's really pulling out all the stops this time. She probably knows he's a scumbag and not the gentleman he's pretending to be. I walked over as they put their trays in the cleanup pile. "Hey, Elizabeth." I smiled at her, noticing that her smile faltered a bit.

     "El, I'll catch you later. I'm going to go finish up some homework before class." He smiled at her and all I wanted to do was knock his teeth in. And where did that nickname come from? They've known each other for a couple of hours, how the f**k was he so friendly with her already?

     "Wait, let me give you my number. If I can finish up quickly on Friday, I'll definitely come with you." She pulled out a piece of paper and a pen, quickly wrote on it and handed him the slip of paper. I could feel my rage boiling over as he smiled at her and brushed her hand. He doesn't deserve to touch her. He's a dog and just wants to use her for s*x and discard her like she's nothing. She looked at me and was no longer smiling. "I should get going too. I want to find my class while I still have time so that I'm not late."

     She started to walk away but I turned and walked with her. "I can show you where it is. I've gone here since I was a freshman. 

     "Uh.. Alright, that's fine I guess." Elizabeth didn't look incredibly enthusiastic about it but let me guide her to her class anyway.

                                                                                     Godrics POV

     I sat in the library studying, wishing I had thought to get lunch first but it was too late now. Lunch was almost over and I knew that I was going to be behind in pre-calc if I didn't cram a bit before class.

     A stack of books were gently placed next to me on the table and I looked up to the sweetest surprise. "Hello, Godric." Camila smiled sweetly at me and my heart fluttered at the sound of her sweet, soft voice. 

     "Hello, beautiful Camila. Please, call me Ric." I smiled at her. "To what do I owe this pleasure?"

     She looked down shyly and blushed. "I saw you studying and I thought maybe we could study together. I hope that's alright, I didn't mean to interrupt."

     "You can interrupt me anytime you like. I am always happy to see you." I looked down and thought for a second, "I have better idea." I closed my book and looked into her beautiful hazel eyes. "Instead of studying, how about you tell me about yourself."

     "Uh.. I... Alright... What would you like to know about me?"

     "Let's start with where you are from."

     She kept her eyes locked on the table and stuttered, "I.. I'm from Detroit. I moved here last year with my mom."

     "May I ask, where is your father?"

     "He... They got divorced. My mom didn't want to stay in the same state as him and petitioned for full custody. They granted it. Now I'm stuck here, with no friends, and all I want to do is go back to Detroit. Back to my old school." She was frowning now and the sight nearly broke my heart.

     "Hey," I put two fingers under her chin and raised her face so that she was looking at me, "I am  your friend now. And my sister, Elizabeth, she is very kind hearted. I will introduce you, she will be your friend."

     "El... Elizabeth? She's your sister? We met earlier today. She was very sweet. We have plans to hang out tonight." She smiled shyly.

     "Very good. She is wonderful friend." I was happy knowing that Ellie was already making friends and that Camila was also finding friends.

                                                                                 Lunas POV

     I can't believe Owen. He never wants to commit and then complains when I have fun with other guys. You can't just have it both ways. I bumped into a very large body and bounced back a little. A hand reached out to steady me and I looked up... And up. Wow, he's so tall. And gorgeous. His lips were so full and absolutely kissable. I licked my lips and smiled. "Thank you for catching me."

     "No problem. I am always happy to help." He smiled and I could feel myself blushing. His accent is so sexy. 

     "Are you new?" His muscles are definitely new to me.

     "Yes, my siblings and I just started today."

     "Well, I'm having a small party this Friday night if you would like to come. Maybe even be my date." I smiled in a way that I knew was seductive. No guy had ever said no to this smile before.

     His smile was a little sad as he said, "I would love to attend your party but my siblings and I have prior engagement. If we finish quickly, I will happily join you."

     I was a little disappointed but it was still a better answer than no. I'll take maybe from him any day. "Alright, if you do get to come, here's my number. Just text me and I'll send you my address." I wrote my number down on a spare notecard I had in my notebook and handed it to him with a smile. He started to walk away when I realized I hadn't even gotten his name. "Wait!" I had to jog over to him. Damn he's got long legs. "I didn't catch your name."

     "Nicolai. But you may call me Nic."

     "I'm Luna." Damn how is even his name sexy?
