A Wild Risk For Love

Chapter 1: Welcome to my humble...school.

I ran into the school building; Carl had already gotten there like 20 minutes ago. Principal Mulligans was going to chop my head off! I ran up to the principal's office and spot Demean and Derek arguing and Juliana almost ready to pull her hair out. She spotted me and sighed in relief. "Look Cecilia's here, you know how she is about you guys fighting". Demean glanced at her. "Can't use the same trick again, Jules". I reached them placing a kiss on his jaw. "Hey, De". He jumped. I ruffled Derek's hair as he looked at me with wide eyes. "Hey Der-Bear". I rushed over to hug Juliana who gave the boys a triumphant look. “Love you Jules”. I sprinted four steps forward and stopped turning at the most feared door; four steps away from our lockers…my worst number is four. I sighed turning back to my friends. “Wish me luck”. They exchange glances giving me a small smile. Derek of course, wanting to go the extra mile gave me two thumbs up. I sighed and opened the door and sure enough Principal Mulligans was sitting on his chair facing the window behind his desk. “Carl came 30 minutes ago, Michael and Rebecca are in school and it’s 10 minutes away from here. You have no excuses. Sit Down!”. He said firmly turning around in the revolving chair. I sat down doing the Math for my luck today. April, 4th, 2020. 2+0+2+0=4. 04/04/4  = 4/4/4. Great I did 4 steps on 4/4/4 and I’m solving complex Math in my head, a great way to start the worst day ever. Note the sarcasm.

DEMEAN

As we waited for Cc to leave Mulls office the first bell rang. I sighed as I looked up at where one of the bells were hoisted. “You guys can go to class; I’ll wait up for her”. I looked at them and caught them sharing a glance. “You sure, man?”. Derek drawled out looking at the door warily. Juliana sighed. “You do know that if he comes out of there and sees you you’ll get in big trouble”. Anything for Cc. “Yeah…I know”. They sighed and I watched them as they turned down the hallway. Two minutes later the late bell rang. I looked at the door. No Cc. Five minutes later. C’mon Cecilia. The door swung open and a grumpy Cecilia stomped out slamming the door and turning the other way, then she froze. Slowly she turned around and gave me a confused look. She walked over to me and tilted her head, then she smiled. “You’ll never change, will you?”. She teased. “Not in this lifetime or in the next”. I stared at her with a serious expression. She snickered and I couldn’t hold myself from joining. “Your laugh-is to-contagious”. I said in between my laughter. We burst out in laughter holding our stomachs and each other. “WHAT’S GOING ON OUT THERE!”. An angry voice boomed. We flinched and ran for our precious lives and just as we turned into another hallway, we heard a door burst open. We ran holding each other’s hand and laughing our hearts out.

 When we reached the door of our Chemistry class, we stopped laughing and smiled at each other. “Why were we laughing?”. I asked her as she brought a hall pass out of her back pocket. “I don’t know, why were you waiting? Couldn’t spend a second without me?”. She countered. I rolled my eyes knowing that she was right. She looked sideways making sure no one was around before she duplicated the hall pass and gave me one with my name on it. “You know…”. I drawled out. She looked up at me expectantly. “…one day you’re going to expose your powers”. I whispered. She scoffed. “Then I’ll wipe their memories of it and all evidence”. She whispered back in a ‘duh’ tone. I shook my head and gave her a small smile and we stepped into the class. Everyone turned to us as we walked to Mr. Carmichael’s desk and dropped the hall passes before walking to the back of class and taking our seats. Cc glared at them and they all turned forward…except Christian. “What’s your excuse now, Kingsley?”. He smirked. She rolled her eyes giving him a small smile before turning his head forward. “Mind your own business Boulevard!”. I sighed. “You got detention, didn’t you?”. I asked her. The smile slipped off her face. “I’ll make it to the meet and greet, I’ll sneak out when baldy leaves and come back before he gets back”. She shrugged. I sighed again. I can’t bear to see her this way. “You’ll never change, will you?”. She grinned. “Not in this lifetime or in the next”. We chuckled. “Mr. Colorado, Mrs. Kingsley’. We turned forward. Mr. Carmichael sighed shaking his head before continuing the lesson. I glanced at Cecilia and saw a big smile on her face. I smiled. Things will never change. I was so wrong. The door burst open and we looked up to see a panting Juliana. “They’re here”. That was all she could say before Derek dragged her away. And then Cc ran out the…wait, what? I ran after her. Well this is a big change, the meet and greet is supposed to be after school, but whoever we’re meeting seems to like school…not Cc’s kind of person but as long as they took her out of class, she’s going to give them a big smile. As I got to Cecilia’s side, my theory was confirmed as a big toothy grin was plastered unto her face. I smiled to myself. This girl is going to be the death of me.

We came to a stop once we were outside and my jaw dropped. Who rides a limo to school? I mean sure, yeah, we all got limos but to school…

“Um, Julie…”. Derek said looking really skeptical. “Who are we meeti…”. Cecilia was caught short as two identical twins stepped out of the limo. I felt her tense beside me so I did what any other boyfriend out there would have done…I held her hand. And for the first time since I met her she pulled away. One was dressed casually while the other one…wore all white. White shirt, white jacket, white pants, white shoes…black shades. He took off his shades and looked at us. Jules, Derek, Cc, Me, then he did a double take on Cc, his eyes widening then he smirked. I narrowed my eyes at him. He grinned and waved shouting “Hey Cc”. We turned at heads sharply towards her with wide eyes to meet the same expression on her face. “The McCoy’s”. She whispered never taking her eyes off the approaching figures.

“…and don’t make a scene”. I turned to see the sensibly dressed twin glaring at his brother who was still grinning at Cecilia. I felt her hand connect with mine slowly and I gratefully accepted it. “Miss me?”. The White Fool asked her totally ignoring the presence of the rest of us, including his angry brother and his words of advice. Cc regained her composure. “Nope”. She popped the ‘p’. “You?”. She asked. “Came here to find you. Didn’t know I’d find you waiting here for me”. He replied. She rolled her eyes. “I was not waiting for you, if I knew you were our new students, I would haves stayed in class, but sadly I’m part of the welcoming committee”. She gestured to all of us. Jones face fell as he looked at us. “Where did you guys come from?”. He shamelessly asked us. His brother his hit the side of his head looking tired and frustrated. “Hey, it’s not my fault you didn’t get your beauty sleep, Mr. Beauty Queen!” He snapped at his brother. Cc Snickered. He glared at her. “Don’t even…”. She raised her free and in surrender.

“Well aren’t you gonna welcome us Cecilia?”. White Fool asked narrowing his eyes at our hands. I raised an eyebrow. She gave him a bored look.

“Jones”.

“Cecilia”. He countered looking like a child who was told to sit in the naughty corner.

“Jones”. His brother warned.

“Miguel”. He gasped. “You’re siding with her?”.

Miguel opened his mouth to say something but Jones cut him off.

“I can’t believe I came here to find you”. Disappointment and hurt clearly written on his face. Miguel rolled his eyes. “That’s not why we came here Jones”. He was obviously bored of his brother’s childish antics. “Well I only agreed to come here cause I heard she moved to New York”. Miguel face-palmed himself and Derek snickered. I have a feeling they’re going to be great friends. I thought. They both have childish personalities. “Okay”. Juliana said moving into their line of sight. She handed them clipboards. “Fill these up and give them to us, now”. She said in her commander voice. “I thought we were supposed to be welco…”. Juliana glared at Jones. His eyes widened. “Never mind”. He murmured under his breath looking at the clipboard. “Which table does Cc sit at?”. He chirped. “Populars”. She answered without hesitation. Cc gasped. “Julie”. She glanced at Derek who was already glaring at her. She gulped. “ana”. She added and with wide eyes. "You know...". Juliana started. "...my cousins name is Anna". Jules laughed which earned her a glare from Cc. Miguel c****d a brow at them before turning to me for an answer. “Derek says that we should call her Jules because only her ‘boyfriend can call her Julie…but her dad always breaks the rule because and I quote ‘When I started calling her Jules, they all ruined it for me, so now I’m ruining it for you’”. Jones handed Cc his clipboard and I swear her eyes popped out from their sockets. She looked up at Jones who was smirking. “I came back to look for you for my revenge, but…”. He trailed off as he looked at me. He looked back at Cecilia and nodded his head towards me. “He got in the way”. Cc gave him a ‘really’ look before shaking her head. “Let’s go guys I’ll explain during lunch”. She said turning around. We followed suit and with one last glance at Jones we went inside. This better not be like those Crime shows where someone ends up dead. The way Jones said revenge…

I shook off my thoughts I better not be right about this.

Sorry the chapter is so short. I had a deadline to meet and I really didn't wan't to miss it so for now this is a filler. Your home girl, Anna.
