They Are Not Ordinary

CHAPTER 4

ASHTER STARR

After we carry the unconscious guy to the nurse room we all separated ways to go in our first class.

I waited at my seat patiently waiting for the certain boy to arrive. I kept fidgeting on my bracelet while glancing once in a while at the clock.

The last bell rang and Damien still wasn't in here only his two guy friends. The teacher started her lesson and asked a few questions to the student, but one guy disrespected her by answering her an ugly answer. Our topic is about mental health out teacher asked why is mental health important and then he answered, it isn't important because all people should kill themselves if they thought about suicide without hesitation. She told him to get out. They bickered for a little while when Damien walked in with his hoodie up again of course. No one really cares and no one noticed him except for his friends as I saw them change their demeanor when they saw him coming in. he keep walking towards our teacher walking between her fight with a student. The teacher just took the slip again from him then continued to scolding the dumb student.

I frowned because the teacher doesn't seem to care about him. And I kinda feel sorry for him. My eyes followed him as he walked to his seat beside his friends just behind me.

I desperately want to turn around and talk to him about what happened earlier but I didn't have a chance because the moment the bell rang he started to dash out of the room again. I sighed and I noticed his friends looking at me pathetically and just shrugged when I met their gaze before they dash out of the room too.

I sighed again as I continued to my next subject.

I almost forgot he was almost all in my classes so again I saw him sitting in a seat again but this time he was alone. I remember in this class we don't have assigned seats so I took my chance and sat next to him. Since it was the only available chair. I shrugged and made my way next to him. Someone called me to sit next to them but I declined because I really want to seat next to the hoodie boy.

I placed my backpack and stuffs down to my seat and sat next to him. I felt him tense up and cover his face with his hoodie sleeve. I wondered why the heck did he did that? am I afraid? am I ugly for him to look at? what the heck is with this boy.

"Mr. Damien, please take your hoodie off out of respect please, just this once today," The teacher said before starting her lessons about algebra.

I was watching him with the corner of my eyes of course I don't want to be a creep. He hesitantly took off his hoodie and I gasped. I moved back a little to get a better look without her knowing I was blatantly staring at him.

He had an almost perfect and very sharp jawline and his facial structure is perfect. He had thick eyebrows that look like a caterpillar, he also had a perfect nose and his lips were plump and pinkish. His skin is a bit pale but he still looks perfect to me. I notice that his eyes are hazelnut and his haircut is like from the '90s which makes him more attractive. To say handsome is an understatement. I was astonished by him. How could they fear this attractive guy?. I wonder why no one is dropping onto his feet. He was like created by the gods. A masterpiece.

"Could you stop staring?" He mumbled, I can hear the irritation in his voice. I swiftly turned my attention back to the teacher blushing because I was caught red handed.

"Sorry" I muttered, I forced myself to focus on the teacher but I couldn't help but stare at him and It was difficult not to look because he is just next to me. This is the first time I got interested in a boy, I don't know why but there is something with him. Oh, those lips could be the death of me I just want to try and kiss him because I never saw a boy with perfect plump and pinkish lips almost every boy I saw their lips are chapped.

I saw in the corner of my eyes that he is also staring at me while he shook his head from side to side with a smirk playing on his lips, as if he knew what I was thinking about, I turned to look at him again but he turned his gaze back to the teacher.

Damn it.

The bell rang and Damien immediately stood up walking away again to the exit. I sighed and give up and made a mental note to myself to ask Aliana about Damien, she promised me yesterday.

-

Two classes passed by and it was already lunch.

"It's good to be back here at school" Aliana smiled, glancing around the crowded cafeteria.

"Yeah, I know! The food is a lot better, to be honest," Sophie giggled as she takes a bite on her nuggets

"Why?" I asked confused

"Oh I remember you just transfer here," Aliana said "if you only knew what they are serving last year"

"It's so horrible" Sophie laughed

"Uncooked food with small worms on it and slimy juice without a taste" Aliana twisted her face in disgust

"I think that they only serve us the leftovers because they're too lazy to make us proper food" The friend of Aliana added

"Yeah, that's why we always bring our own lunch last year" Aliana informed

"Stop complaining, they serve us better food now" Sophie shrugged "At least we won't taste that nasty food anymore"

"I'm happy I didn't get to taste that food, I can't imagine myself eating those, yuck," I said in disgust

"Huh, pretty picky" Alaina teased, causing me to roll my eyes, "I thought you'd eat any kinds of food?"

"Yes, I am eating any kind of food!" I answered

"Whatever you say Starr" Aliana smirked

"So was the second day here?" Aliana asked.

"It was good, interesting, and annoying to be honest," I said as I shove a spoonful of pasta in my mouth.

"Annoying why?" Aliana questioned

"You know boys trying to get into my pants even though it's only my second day here" I muttered.

"I was hoping those horny boys would keep it down considering you are new but I guess they are not" Aliana groaned annoyed "Maybe I need to lecture those boys"

"Hey don't worry about it, I think I can handle it," I told her with a smile on my face.

"So what is interesting today?" She asked, should I tell him about Damien?, about how many questions that I have been wanting to be answered. because a lot of questions have been pilling up my head.

"Uh, just the lessons" I shrugged and brushed the topic off maybe I will ask her at the right time. we continue to finish our lunch.

We spend fifteen minutes of lunch break in an easy conversation and comfortable joviality while finishing their lunches when Damien suddenly came into the cafeteria making the door wide open and people looking at him momentarily before they continued to their things, I watch Damien as he got to the seat with his friends, Jane and the two boys.

Aliana and Sophie caught me staring at Damien for the whole time he got in the cafeteria I don't really care.

"The interesting part you told me earlier it's about Damien right?" She asked more like stated. I was a little shocked that she knew because I never mentioned it to anyone before.

"No...." I tried to make up an alibi but my brain is failing me today so I gave in "Fine, yes"

"Ashter, we told you before he's not safe," She told me with a blank expression on her face which is weird because she always had this bright smile on her face but whenever we talked about those guys it just vanish. "Just try to forget about him, please? It's for your own good"

"But you promised me yesterday you will tell me everything about him" I frowned at her.

"I...i" the bell ring signaling the start of their next classes. Damn this freaking bell. They quickly pack their things and stood up from their table.

"Uhmm bye Ashter, see you later" Aliana and Sophie waved before disappearing to the cafeteria.

"Wait you didn't tell me---" I cut myself because they are already gone. I sighed still confused on why Aliana and Sophie are always against them like they are some kind of monsters.

I sighed as I continued my day.

-

After what like seemed an eternity, the bell rang ending my class today, two hours Literature is hell, which is a practically sleepy subject but it was fun for me because I really love reading some new fictional works of famous writers.

Now that the bell rang I practically jumps out of my chair, eager to leave.

After I packed my stuffs back into my bag I flung my bag over my shoulder ran outside, while I was running she was muttering sorry to every person she gets bumped then suddenly I get bump to Jane.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry" I mumbled as I crouched down to help pick her books up.

"It's okay really don't worry about it" Jane chuckled as she also knelt down to pick her books "Why are you in such a rush anyway?"

"I just want to get out of this school and relax at home," I told her with a small laugh. I just really want to get away from this school to stop thinking about a certain boy.

"Oh yeah I get you" She smiled at me as she gathered all her books again holding them in her arms securely. "Anyways before you go I want to invite you tomorrow at this time let's go study in the library if you want? I want to ask you today but since you already have plans on relaxing..."

"Yeah, sure I will join you tomorrow" I gladly agreed, I love to study and I have never been to the library so I am a little bit excited for tomorrow.

"Really?" Her eyes lit up

"Yes, of course, I'll be seeing you tomorrow," I told her as I hug her goodbye. To be honest I felt more comfortable with Jane than the two other girls. don't get me wrong I love those two but there is just something little off about our friendship.

"I'll see you tomorrow pretty face" She kissed her hand and blew it to me before walking away in the opposite direction.

By the end of the day, I realized that Aliana and Sophie weren't showing up today which made me think that they ditch school after lunch or maybe they just avoid talking to me about Damien.

I go with option two because the school president would never ditch school.

I was supposed to try out for the volleyball team today but I suddenly got the urge to go home so I decided to try out tomorrow.

I have been playing volleyball for three years and I am quite good, thanks to my previous coaches of mine they really improved my skills.

On my way home, my car suddenly stops in the middle of nowhere.

"What the hell!!" I exclaimed as I slammed my hands into the steering wheel. how on earth did it suddenly break down. It's brand new and it is in pretty good condition. I popped the trunk open before I got out of my car and went to see if something is wrong, I frowned when I see everything is fine, nothing is broken.

"What the heck is the problem then" I slammed the hood shut while muttering sorry because I hurt my baby. Then suddenly I heard something like an air squealing. I slowly moved my head to the side and saw my tire back tire blowing out, I took out my phone and turned my flashlight on to see how did it got pierced.

When I saw a claw mark on my tires my eyes widen in fear, suddenly I heard a growl from behind me, making me jump backward slowly.

"What the f**k" I exclaimed, I thought it was just a dog but it was 10x bigger than a dog, I don't know what kind of dog it is I have never seen one this big...

I tried to step back but it snapped its teeth at me making me froze in my spot, my heart is pounding like crazy and my whole body is shaking from fear.

I closed my eyes maybe this was just a dream and I fell asleep in class. I tried pinching myself and slowly opened my eyes wishing I was still in class but I didn't. I was still facing the same large thing, it had a hungry look on its eyes it's like ready to devour me any second now.

I panicked as It walk slowly towards me while its drool is dripping down. I sprinted to my car as fast as I can and tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge because it is locked.

"s**t" I yelled as I search my pocket for keys but I didn't find them. "f**k!!"

With nothing to do, I just closed my eyes and covered it with my hands preparing for the impact but it never came.

I slowly opened my eyes and they widen again in shock. Damien who still has his hoodie on was fighting the large dog.

Oh my god, what the hell is happening...
