The Devil Inside

Chapter 7

Lexi's P.O.V. 

~

I swear this is the absolute most boring class in the history of classes. The teacher is droning on and on about stuff that I learnt about two years ago. 

"Ay Lex, you wanna smoke in the parking lot on our next break?" Tommy whispers which is supposed to be just meant to me, but because of the silence in the class as most of the kids are sleeping, a few people around us heard and they turned to look at us. 

"Sure." I reply, trying to focus back to my sketches. I feel a bunch of eyes on me but one sticks out, it's like they're trying to burn holes through my head but also like I'm a work of art that was gifted to the world by the Gods. I look up in order to find the eyes, and when I do, the owner doesn't really surprise me. It was the boy from Chemistry who thought the world revolved around him. When I caught his eye, he quickly looked to the front and tried to pretend that he was focusing on the lesson. I inwardly smirked at that. 

The lesson blurred by and we were let off for break, Tommy and I made our way straight to the parking lot and we sat on the hood of his car. He handed me a cigarette and he lit it for me then lit his own. We were silent, enjoying the peacefulness of the empty parking lot, until it wasn't empty. A bunch of what I assume to be the popular kids came out of the doors laughing at something that probably isn't funny. I roll my eyes and look over at Tommy, who is already eyeing the girls who don't have any boys near them. They all seem to turn and look at us. I lay on the hood of the car while Tommy is winking at the girls, making them swoon. I hear footsteps sound through the parking lot and they're coming closer to us. 

"Lex, I think someone's here for you." I huff, getting up from my comfortable position. I look at the girl, not saying anything, analysing her face, it seems a bit familiar.

"Lexi, is that really you?" I simply nod in response. Taking the last puff of my cigarette before throwing it to the floor. I got another one out of the pack and before I can light it, I'm the arms of the girl. She's hugging me. My eyes widen in shock and I quickly remove myself from her arms and get of the hood and behind before she can blink. She turns around with a hurt face. 

"Lexi, it's me, Carla. You best friend, don't you remember me?" Tears fall down her face when she says the last sentence. I hear the rest of her group come from behind me to comfort her. The one who looks like she's in charge screeches with a voice that's way too high pitched. 

"WHAT THE HELL?! WHY WOULD YOU MAKE CARLA CRY?!" I don't answer, still not speaking. She takes a step towards me, trying to be threatening. 

"Gosh, you are such a b***h, did your uncle teach you that? Is he an a*****e like you?" That was the last straw, I allowed my eyes to darken which only happens when I am super duper mad. I take a step towards her towering height. She looks smug because she is taller than me, I'm only a mere 5'2, when she has to be at least 5'7 with high heels on.

"What did you just say to me?" My voice took that dangerous tone that I only use when I'm interrogating my "missions", if that's what you would call them. Usually, when this voice is used, someone dies, quickly or painfully is up to them, depending on their answers. 

"Lexi nemoj, samo ostavi. Idemo kući i odbacimo ostatak dana." Tommy's voice does nothing to ease my anger, if anything it made me angrier. [Translation - Lexi don't, just leave it. Let's go home and ditch the rest of the day.]

I don't answer him. He sighs. 

"Lex ozbiljno, možemo ići na streljanu ili ubiti nešto, ali ne ovdje i ne sada." His words make me internally laugh. I turn towards him. [Translation - Lex seriously, we can go to a shooting range or go kill something but not here and not now.]

"I do believe I asked her a question though Tommy." I turn back to her and I ask again.

"What did you say to me?" She gulps, then shakes her head lightly like she's ignoring some one or thing, and then say with a proud voice and an even prouder face. 

"I said, did your uncle teach you to be a b***h? Did he kill himself for being around you for too long like your parents?" That was the last straw. I snicker, which turns into a chuckle, which turns into a full blown laugh session. I take my jacket off while tying my hair in a pony tail. 

"Oh, you're so funny, isn't she Tommy? Do you want to know how my uncle died, he was decapitated and all of his limbs were removed. One by one. Now, how I wish I could do something similar to you, but I couldn't without getting in trouble, at least, not right now. So, for now, I think I'll settle with beating you, and anyone else who tries to touch me, senseless." With the I punched her in the nose and that drew blood, and that only made my blood l**t go crazier, and I couldn't and probably wouldn't until her blood was all over me.
