The Devil’s Angel

Chapter 7

It’s not like we were expecting her to beret us or anything. Like the entire student population she is in awe of us and they all fear the power of our parents anyways. You see one thing we all have in common is that our parents have tons of money.

Take Cole’s dad. He just donated so much money that the school built another library and named it after him. Lucian’s mother keeps donating money and heads the parents teacher association for the third time in a row. I think for her it is just a power trip. I don’t understand it.

We look for seats and as my eyes scan the class it settles on Elsa. It locks and hold hers. She was staring at me. We engage in a staring contest. She looks away first and I smirk in triumph. There is a seat right behind her so I walk there and settle in as Lucian sits beside me.

“okay students. it’s good to have you all back. How was the summer break??” Mrs Sanders asks.

Some people raise their hands and they answer. I and not really paying attention. My eyes are caught on the back of Elsa’s head. Her hair is so blonde and looks so freaking soft. I want to reach over and push my hand through the long tresses. She reminds of that animation. Frozen I think it is called. Cold and aloof on the outside with the blonde hair to boot but I know she hold so much fire inside her.

The last person sits down after he talks about his summer, he mentions something about going to France. Most of the students in this school are from really super rich homes. Like they come from so much wealth you will be amazed. There are regular people here too but it is more like people that come from new money. Elsa comes from old money too. Her friend Kim too comes from old money. I did my research on her. Her mother is the long descendant of Irish and British royalty and her father comes from a line of rich merchants that got into the government in the 90’s. Kim’s lineage has to do with lords and kings too. It shows in their dispositions and how unaffected with the brandashing of luxury products of other students.

“anyone else wants to tell us about how their summer went before we go into the topic for today..?” Mrs Sanders asks.

“I do.” Alexander Dawson says loudly.

I swallow an irritated sigh.

Alex is a huge asshole who intentionally flops and acts like a total asshat. He has no regard for anyone but himself. Last year he nearly cost us our spot in the nationals just because he just wanted to do things his way and show he didn’t answer to anyone. He got so drunk before the game and took drugs nearly jeopardizing the whole game for us. He was benched and Carlos substituted for him. His dad made sure he wasn’t thrown out of the team with the promise that he will go rehab and fix his act. After the game we didn’t see him anymore. This is the first time I am seeing him since then.

“go ahead.” Mrs. Sanders.

“so I got to travel to this cool island off the pacific coast and there were all these hot chicks and I got to nail them.” he says.

The guys in the class holler, some girls holler with them and cheer for him while some look at him in disgust. It seems this season Alex is only going to be a pain the ass with his attitude. This time things are different though, the deal was that if he messes up one more time I get to kick him off the team.

“okay. that’s enough. Mr Dawson please have your seat.” she says snarkily.

He grins and bumps fists with one dumb guy at the back.

I look at Lucian at my right and he looks bored with the whole display.

Mrs Sanders drone on and on about the class and what we are going to be treating for the semester. Elsa does not do anything throughout the class but take notes. She does this constantly and once the class is over she’s out of the class before I can stand. I meet up with the others for our gym class and finally run into the one person I wished I didn’t have to meet today.

Fucking Emily.

Emily Morgan, my ex-girlfriend and the most conceited person I have ever met. She is waiting at my locker as I get there.

“what do you want?” I ask her plainly.

“nothing. I can’t just say hi to you again?” she asks sweetly.

I don’t let her tone fool me for one bit.

“Cut the bullshit. You never just want to say hi.” I tell her without looking at her as I pull books out of my locker and throw some more inside.

“Oh Hades, when are you going to get over it? I made a mistake and I begged you already, what else do you want me to do?” she asks in a whinny voice.

I slam the locker shut which startles her much to my satisfaction.

“dammit. Easy.” she mutters.

“Emily, I am not interested in an apology. Frankly I don’t care about you or anything that concerns you, stay the f**k out of my way and we will be cool.” I tell her.

She starts to lean forward and I see through her. Her breasts are tightly wrapped in a blue tube top and her shorts shorts rides low and exposes her slim midriff. About a few months back I would have been turned on and panting after her as soon as she flashed her little feminine bits at me but now as I stare at her I feel repulsed and slightly annoyed.

“what do you want me to do? I swear I will do it.” she promises looking at me with pleading eyes.

“you don’t seem to get it, I am not interested in anything you want to do or give me.” I tell her.

I don’t wait for her to say anything again as I push away from my locker and away from her.

I meet up with the rest of the guys in the cafeteria.

ELSA’S POV.

I watch Hades walk into the cafe brooding and looking very pissed. My minds wonders about what could have gotten the grouch into a more grouchier mood and then soon after Emily stumbles into the Café with her pretty little cheer leading smile in place. Okay now I understand.

They have been going out for as long as I can remember. The dynamic of their relationship is rather puzzling. Today on and next week off again. I am sure now is not different and just a lovers spat. They are going to fix their relationship and get back together. At least that’s what the school paper says. More like the school gossip blog. Sandra Charles is the president of the rotary club and the head of the blog. She controls what is written and released and only last week it was released that there is a high possibility that the power couple will get back together before the end of the month. My bets that they won’t get back together anytime soon.

“earth to Elsa. I was looking for you guys everywhere… why are you guys sitting here??” Haley asks us.

“oh hi trace.” Kim beams and Haley hugs her fondly.

“hey Kim. I am going to ask again.. why are you guys sitting here?” she asks.

“because we are?? where are we supposed to sit?” Kim asks her confused.

“okay... here me out, last year we were not particularly outcasts but we were pretty close, excluding ourselves from the hot crowd and sticking to the shadows. This year is not about playing it safe. Come on, we are seniors, let’s act like it for once.” she rolls her eyes at me when I poke my tongue at her.

“Where do you want us to sit?” Kim asks.

“anywhere but here among the geeks.” she groans.

“okay. Easy there tiger.” I caution her. I get some people like to study but using the word geek around here is derogatory and she knows it. it’s not okay to be mean to people and I am sure a couple of people around us heard her.

“let’s go.” I stand and follow her before she spews more s**t out of her mouth,

Kim looks nervous and I walk beside her making sure our hands brush against each other.

She takes us to the center of the cafeteria and sits down there. There are two guys there and they stand up immediately we take our seat. This affects Haley because her smile wanes out that’s till I hear a voice behind me.

“Is that seat taken?” I know that voice and I curse under my breathe like a sailor at sea.
