SCARS

CHAPTER TWO ( DE VIL)

Kale pov

I tapped my leg repeatedly in slight irritation, I was sitting in a history class and listened to the teacher talk about the roman empire over and over again, I was getting slightly annoyed, don't get me wrong, I have no problem with history or the professor teaching us in contrast I actually enjoyed it but not now, today something... Or someone has made it their point of duty to irritate me for no reason, I squinted my eyes, my brows scrunching up together as I felt the tap on my arm again... This time I gritted my teeth, I hate it when people touch me, much without my permission, though the hand that tapped me was not close to a touch but it's worse when it comes from a girl.

The red head beside me has been trying to get my attention which I have given her none totally ignorant of her existence which is what I have been doing since I came into this new school not just her but everyone else, most people don't pay attention to me which is ideal plan but some people were just persistent like the red head beside me who has been tapping and flirting with me since I entered into the class in a not so subtle way, my cold eyes never turned to her not even once, so she is obviously assuming I haven't heard or noticed she was trying to call me since I was focusing in the class.

"And that will be all, make sure you finish your assignment and forward it to the class email"

The voice of the professor echoed in the class followed by students sighs of relief and people scrambling out of the classroom since it's already lunch break, needless to say I was among the first people that left the room, I was in no mood to hold a conversation, I was never one anyway.

" Can I borrow your note"

I heard someone said behind me catching up to me quickly, she followed me,

" No"

I replied without looking back to face her, someone immediately hit me playfully at the back and my attention was diverted to Elijah who immediately intercepted smiling sweetly to her

"You can borrow mine, don't mind this grumpy old man"

she took his note and thanked him in a tone that said she was not impressed but that was not my problem .

" Hey dude, if you continue with this your attitude, I'm sure you will end up alone your whole life, come on you gotta make friends and that girl you just rejected is like one of the hottest girl in the school"

" I don't care" I said now walking into the cafeteria, Elijah is the only person that I know here, we were together in California before I moved to New York after I woke up from coma, he is a chatterbox but I can tolerate him sometimes by simply just ignoring him.

"Hey, I met this girl yesterday, her name is Carmen... God!!! Kale I haven't seen anyone that beautiful in my entire life she is like, one of the most popular girl in the entire school and you know what!! I got her number"

Elijah was so excited as he continued to talk about the girl he met that he practically ordered salad as we went to get food and I raised my brows at him because I know very much that Elijah hates Salad but he was far too gone to even notice he was ordering the wrong food

" And I think she's religious, ugh.. catholic I don't know really know but I think I'm going to become catholic too"

I narrowed my eyes at him as we sat down to eat

"what!! I'm a Christian too"

he exclaimed trying to convince me, Elijah was liar, he was no christian, I didn't care and went back to my food but I was interrupted yet again; I frowned at him, I hated when someone interrupted my eating time

" Look!! She's coming, ooh they're coming towards us wait!! She's staring at me, hey man do you think I look presentable"

" No"

I replied absent mindedly but still looking in the direction he pointed

" Carmen is the blonde while her friend, the brunette is Amory, she is like the queen bee in the whole school and everyone obeys her, both of them are best friends"

I adjusted my glasses and what caught my attention was the brunette who was walking into the room confidently like she owned it, the aura around her oozed power as everyone got out of way and the whole attention was on her, my eyes was trained on her, indeed she is a beauty and then she smirked and I knew at that moment she is an Enchantress, I was transfixed at her face that was spreading into a smile that was all too familiar too me and a feeling of de ja vu that I couldn't explain, her eyes was trained on me looking directly into my eyes and a shiver ran through me which made me squint my eyes in confusion but she was already standing before me smiling an evil smile before muttering

"Hi Kierson..." And I froze.

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

" Hi Kierson..."

That was the first time it happened in as long as I could recall, it was like a flash before my eyes And I saw it, a memory, a woman smiling at me her face too close to make out details, I can only see her thick red lipstick smiling widely at me , my vision fuzzy, I can't even describe the face that flashed before me but I recognized the smile, it was all too familiar, that is a smile if the devil...

It's more than a month since I came out of a coma and ever since then, my mind has been blank

I remember waking up in that hospital gown staring at the white ceiling blankly without saying anything for two days, my parents where panicking as they sat around my bed while I just looked into space not saying anything, I remembered the doctor saying it could be an effect of the trauma and I have temporary amnesia

I felt fine , I just didn't find it in me to say anything, I only said something on the third day when Olivia came to see me, after I left the hospital I didn't say much and I had no memory of the incident that led to me being in coma, days passed and my parents decided it's best to keep everything in the past and send me to a new school, I didn't object, I didn't care to be precise , maybe it's because of a lost memory but there was a void inside of me, a vacuum I can't even fill or know how to fill it, I never got my memory back not even a flash but not until the brunette called me in the cafeteria with her sultry smile that for some reason has appeared in my mind for the third time since yesterday, which is very odd, I don't think about people, I hardly remember anyone in my class mostly because I don't hang out with them and I don't care whether it's weird or not.

That is the reason I'm sitting in the cafeteria with Elijah totally ignoring whatever he's blabbing about on his phone, I couldn't care less and I had something on my mind which is slightly bothering me because it's unusual, very unusual for me to be thinking of a brunette with eyes that can keep you entranced just by looking at it once, her face was so proportioned in all right places, her round face was perfect almost enchanting and her....

Again I was thinking about her, the thought of that waking me up from my new thought and making me frown seriously the food in mouth now tasting weird, I forced myself to swallow the food, I lost my appetite.

I was startled out of my thoughts when Elijah immediately shook me to bring my attention to him before he asked

" Are you chewing raw meat?? Did the lady mistakenly serve you raw meat" I squeezed my face in disgust at his question, the thought of that now making me nauseous

" What!! You looked like the food taste so bad you couldn't even get yourself to swallow

You weren't even listening to what I was saying "

" I was" I lied through my teeth without even thinking, don't know why I did

" Yeah!, and what was I saying" he asked

" Carmen, you were talking about Carmen " I said looking at him, and he looked surprised I got it, I wasn't actually listening, I just knew he was talking about Carmen, ever since he saw that girl, my ears has been bleeding from the constant chatter, guessing he was talking about Carmen was too easy

" you were listening after all, then answer me my question" he asked

" What question " I asked and he sighed before saying

" I asked if catholics sacrifice lamb to repent their sins" he said looking at me for an answer

I wondered why I was friends with this guy in the first place sometimes I find it weird, he has a brain of a goldfish out of water

"Why would anyone sacrifice a lamb to repent their sins" I asked trying to make sense of what he was saying

"Right!!! I knew something was wrong with this blogger" he said showing a video to me , I looked at him like he was stupid

" That's a comedy skit, it's not true" I said, he looked visibly relieved and moved to say something but was interrupted by someone who came to sit beside us and turning to greet me.

" Hi Kierson"

Think about the devil and she will appear, I didn't expect she would come to meet me today at least not after I totally ignored her yesterday which according to Elijah is a very red flag and a bad decision, because nobody who had eyes would say no to Amory and I did yesterday without batting an eyelash .

"Don't call me that"

I spit at her avoiding her eyes and shrugging off the shiver that was almost causing me goosebumps, what the hell...

" Why not, it's your name isn't it or do you prefer Kale "

I looked up to her face no longer able to ignore the urge to look up and see, I adjusted my glasses as my eyes looked at her face she was close too close to me and I tensed up, my shoulders rigid as I couldn't help staring at those orbs of brown eyes sucking me in ... Okay looking at her face was a bad idea, I can't keep up with these new things...

I looked down and breathed in not answering her previous question, engaging in a conversation with her is a bad idea anyway .

" Don't worry sweet, I'll call you whichever you're comfortable with.. and I want to invite you guys to my VIP party at chains club, it's exclusively for elites in my group but since you're such a cute nerd I'll make an exception " she said now looking at Elijah who immediately lit up at his words

" Really, chains club!!?" Elijah exclaimed

" Of course, both of you will be given a VIP pass once you get to the club to meet us and Carmen will be there "

" Elijah immediately screamed yes at the mention of Carmen

" I'm not going" I say not looking up

" What! Why not?" He asked and I just shrugged not saying anything, I have no reason to go there.

" Don't worry I'll make sure he comes"

Elijah said smiling at her not bothering to ask me again

She smiled back before I felt her hands touch my face and I jolted, the tension back in my body before she muttered

" I'll see you there" she said before leaving, with Elijah smiling sheepishly while staring at her back.

That idiot... " I'm not going "

"oh shut up".
