21.
It was finally Monday morning. I had been up since Angelina's phone call from last night, her last words to me haunting my mind. She had said she'd loved me, which I do in return, but it still confused me. Was it out of habit? Or did she really mean it?
I know it seems cliche of me to be confused, but it is in fact a confusing matter. You can't just say ' I love you ' to anyone, saying I love you is something special. You can like anyone, but loving is different - as stated before - saying I love you is special.
And I do know that the whole monologue thing just now sounds cliche too, but hey! It's the truth, and it's the only thing I'm gonna give you.
Out of no where, the sound of my irritating alarm clock broke through the silence of my apartment, meaning, I was supposed to get up.
Since I was already dressed and ready for school, I unplugged my cell phone from it's charger, grabbing my backpack - which was already packed and ready to go - and sluggishly headed out the door of my apartment.
-----
It didn't take me long to get to school - since I was too busy thinking - but when I did, I saw Angelina peacefully waiting outside the school.
She sat on one of the planter walls, her legs swinging back and forth as she took in the early morning view of the school. Angelina had her lovely blond curls down as she wore a cute white-laced dress along with a jean jacket and cowboy boots.
I felt a smile spread across my lips at the sight of her, I wanted to call out her name, but I didn't want to attract attention, so I quickly walked towards her.
I was about 5 feet away from her when she noticed me, and once she did, she quickly jumped off the planter wall and ran towards me, embracing me in a friendly hug before looking up at saying," Good morning!"
I smiled down at her," Good morning Angel." I replied as Angelina let go of me, smiling at me brightly," Do you wanna go talk...in private?"
She nodded excitedly before intertwining her fingers with mine. I then pulled her over to the right side of the school, where no one usually goes.
Once we knew the coast was clear, I quickly smashed my lips with hers, my right hand holding her head as the other was placed on her hip. Once we broke apart are kiss, Angelina looked up at me with a surprised look on her face, her cheeks dusted red," W-What was that for..?" She asked, quiet embarrassed.
" A good morning kiss..." I replied lovingly, looking down at the blushing girl in front of me.
" Aren't you needy." Angelina commented playfully, pulling away from me with a smirk on her face," We've only started dating recently. Why so impatient?"
" Would it sound weird if I said I missed your lips?" I asked, folding my arms on my chest as I walked closer to her.
" No, but you at least need to warn me when you gonna kiss me." She replied, mimicking me by folding her arms on her chest, which made her look cuter in my opinion.
" Fine, I'll warn you next time." I answered, rolling my eyes playfully at her.
" Thank you."
" Anything for you Angel."
There was a moment of silence before I spoke up," So...do you want to make our relationship...official..?" I asked, heat rising up in my cheeks. Angelina looked down, as if ashamed," I would understand why you wouldn't...since it's me..."
" Lucifer, don't say that..." Angelina stated, grabbing onto my arm with a loose grip," I would love to announce our relationship...I-I'm just, nervous..."
" It's fine, I understand Angel..." I replied, embracing her in a hug," Now we should head to class, don't want to be late."
" Yeah, lets go." Angelina agreed, stepping on her tip-toes to place a small kiss on my cheek before intertwining her finger with mine and heading back in the direction on the front of the school.
Once we were close to the corner, we let go of each other's hands and walked separately towards our history class. As we walked up to the class, we saw that no one was in class yet," I guess we're early...?" Angelina commented, thinking that we were on time.
I shrugged," I guess. Lets head in."
Angelina nodded, pushing open the classroom door and shutting it once we were both inside. We then headed over the corner desk to the right of the classroom. Angelina sat down at the desk while I pushed the nearest desk towards her, enabling us to sit by each other.
Once I sat down, Angelina leaned her head against my shoulder," Are you sure you're ok with us not announcing our relationship...?" she asked, her tone dripping with sadness," I don't want you to feel bad..."
" Angel, I told you it's fine." I replied, grabbing her hand from her lap and gently squeezing it," I would wait a thousand years if it meant I could be with you..."
She giggled," That's so cheesy...!"
" You know you love it when I'm cheesy~" I playfully replied, placing my face face at the crook of her neck," And I know you love this..."
I began to tickle Angelina's sides, causing her to burst out in laughter," L-LUCIFER..! S-STOP IT!!" Angelina pleaded, smiling so much that it seemed her face would break," I-It hurts..!"
" Never..!" I replied playfully, moving my hands to where I was tickling her stomach.
I continued to tickle Angelina - who seem to be laughing her butt off - until we heard some cough behind us. I quickly stopped and spun around to see Kate leaning against the frame of the classroom door," Well look what we have here..." She grumbled, a sour look on her face.
" H-How long were you there?" Angelina asked, her face burning red.
" Long enough." Kate replied, crossing her arms on her chest," We need to talk. Now."
Angelina gulped nervously, giving me a worried glance before standing up from her seat and walking towards her best friend, who gave me a cold glare before walking out of the classroom and into the crowded hallway, leaving me alone in a empty classroom," Well, so much for keeping it a secret..." I grumbled, slouching down in my seat.
Outside the classroom Angelina fearfully stared at her friend," Look, it's not what it-"
" Sure. Saying lovey-dovey things to each other doesn't mean anything." Kate snapped, her arms crossed on her chest," Why didn't you tell me?"
" T-Tell you what..?" Angelina asked nervously, already knowing the answer.
" Don't play coy. Why didn't you tell me you were dating Lu-"
Angelina covered her friend's mouth," Shh!" Angelina whispered, looking at Kate with a bit of an angered expression," Yes, I'm dating Lucifer. And I'm sorry for not telling you, I-I was nervous..."
Kate ripped Angelina's small hand off her mouth," Still! Why are you dating...him!" Kate questioned, pointing to me through the classroom window.
" And what's wrong with him?" Angelina questioned, placing her hands on her hips as she looked up at her slightly taller friend," I thought you two were starting to get along."
" Haven't you heard the rumors?! He's in a gang. And not just a gang member, he is the gang LEADER." Kate protested.
" I don't care, he is nothing like what they say..." Angelina began, her angered expression softening,"...he is kind and sweet, and has been their for me recently..."
Kate's expression too softened," Does he treat you right?"
" Of course he does. He's a good person..." Angelina replied, looking down at the floor,"...you might not see the good in him, but I do..."
Kate looked at her friend sorrowfully, then let out a sad sigh," I didn't mean to get mad at you, I'm just...trying to protect you..."
Angelina looked up at Kate and smiled," I know you are, but I don't always need to be protected."
" With something like this, I feel you do." Kate stated playfully," Take it from me, a broken heart hurts like hell, and you've already been there and back."
" But aren't you the one who broke up with him?"
" Yeah, but I regret it sometimes."
" You're silly..." Angelina commented, letting out a giggled before looking at me through the classroom window.
After a small moment of silence, Kate spoke up," You do really care for him don't you?" she asked, walking a bit closer to Angelina.
She nodded," I do. And not just care, I love him..." Angelina replied, a light blush on her cheeks as Kate looked at her in surprise.
" L-Love..? Isn't that a bit too soon?" Kate questioned, while Angelina shook her head no.
" Not to me. I've only known him for a week and I'm in love." Angelina answered, turning her head to look at Kate," He is always in my mind, and when I'm around him, I feel like my heart is gonna beat out of my chest..."
Kate uncrossed her arms from her chest and looked at Angelina with a bit of a blank expression," That's love, right...?" Angelina asked.
Kate couldn't find her words. Her best friend was in love, and she didn't know how to protect her," I know it seems cliche..." Angelina began, looking down at the floor before looking back at me through the window," But I do love him. To me, it's like a fairy tail."
" But Angelina..." Kate stated, putting her hand on the slightly smaller girl's shoulder," You know life isn't a fairy tail, you of all people should know that..."
" Yeah..." Angelina replied before looking up at her friend,"...But I want to think it is."
Kate sighed," I really hope you know what you're getting yourself into..."
" I do, I do, I have had this ' boy ' discussion with you in freshman year..."
Kate giggled," Yeah, about...who was it?"
" Justin Libel, my first crush...he was a sophomore at the time." Angelina replied, smiling at her friend," He was such a nice guy, but then he started to be cool and popular, and I lost interest."
" So you didn't like him because he was super cute?" Kate asked with cheeky smile," Cause if I remember - which I do - he was the cutest sophomore at this school, and now he's the hottest guy in school."
" Whatever, I don't like him anymore." Angelina replied, now crossing her arms on her chest as she stared at her friend with a playful smile,"Either way...will you...keep our relationship a secret?"
" Of course, what kind of friend would I be if I blabbed about it?
" The worst friend in the world..?"
" You bet."
The two friends laughed before Angelina spoke up," So...can I go back?"
Kate was silent for a moment before speaking," Fiinnneee...you can go back," Kate stated, causing Angelina to smile brightly," but so help me if I hear he hurts you-"
" Yeah yeah, you'll kill him, I know." Angelina replied playfully, slowly walking backwards to the classroom door," And you won't let him forget it, right?"
" Yup, and you better tell him that." Kate stated, smirking as she watched her friend open the door to the classroom," Bye."
" Bye~" Angelina said, waving to her friend before shutting the door.
" So...how did it go?" I asked, my arms folded on my chest as I laid back in my seat, my feet on the desk in front of me.
" It went...fine. She'll keep our relationship a secret." Angelina replied, walking towards me," And she told me to tell you that if you break my heart, she'll-"
" Kill me? I know." I finished for her, causing Angelina to laugh in amusement," What? You don't think she didn't already have the ' talk ' with me?"
" Yeah, I guess I didn't think about it." Angelina replied, stilling giggling in amusement," So how much time is left until school starts?"
I pulled out my phone and checked," About five minutes." I answered, putting my phone back into my pocket.
" So we should probably start working," Angelina commented, smiling as she pushed my feet off the table, causing me to almost fall off my seat.
" Hey!"
" What? No feet on the table."
" What are you, my mother?"
" No, but I'll act like one if you don't shape up with your manners."
" Hey, I'll have you know I have good manners..." I grumbled, folding my arms on my chest once I was seated back on my chair.
" Suurreee." Angelina sarcastically replied, rolling her eyes as she lifted her backpack onto her lap and unzipped it, pulling out things for the project.
" Hey! I do." I protested.
" Yeah, whatever." Angelina stated, placing all of the work on the two desks we shared," Now let's get started."
-----
By the end of class, we were almost finished with our notes," Angel, we gotta go." I stated, adjusting my one backpack strap as I looked down at the girl who continued to write.
" Just one more sentence..!" Angelina replied, writing even faster.
" But you're gonna make us both late." protested, as Angelina continued not to listen.
" One moment..!" Angelina replied, finally writing the sentence," There! Done."
" Now can we go?" I asked, eager to get out of the class room," Mrs. Brooks is still here ya'know."
" I do." Angelina answered, finally getting up from her seat and putting her papers away," What's the rush?"
" She's starring at us with a weird look in her eyes..." I whispered, talking a small glance behind me to see Mrs. Brooks sitting at her desk, looking at us with a weird...twinkle in her eye as she smiled.
Angelina giggled," What? It's creeping me out..."
" Lucifer, isn't it obvious?" Angelina asked as she zipped up her backpack,"...she thinks we're cute together..."
" What?! Why would she think that?" I questioned, a bit surprised,"..And how did she know?"
" She doesn't know. It's just...she thinks we would be cute together..." Angelina replied, smiling.
" That doesn't make sense..." I say as we both began to leave the classroom.
" It's kinda a girl thing..." She says, walking to the right side of me," Oh! I just remembered..."
" What?" I asked as we stopped in the middle of the hallway.
" I need to grab my science notepad from my locker, I left it on Friday..." She states," So can we head to my locker before we part ways?"
" Sure. It's not like I want to get to my math class anyways." I reply as we began to head to her locker.
Once we got to our location, Angelina unlocked her locker and opened its door. But when she did, a letter fell out," What's this?" She asks herself as she reached for it.
" Looks like a letter." I state, obviously not interested.
" But from who?" She said as she flips the letter envelope over," To the Angel of the school Angelina, from....Justin Libel!?"
I felt my body tense up," Why would he send a letter? Can't he call me instead?" Angelina asks herself again as she opens the letter and began to read silently.
' Please don't be a love letter, please don't be a love letter, PLEASE don't be a-'
" Love letter?" Angelina questions, surprised," Why would he send a love letter to me?"
" Maybe because you're perfect in every way..." I grumbled, a little ticked off.
" What did you say?" Angelina asks, looking up at me.
" N-Nothing..." I reply, a light blush on my cheeks.
" Well...this was a bit unexpected..." She says as she grabs her science note book," I guess I'm gonna have to let him down easy at lunch..."
" Wait, you're gonna talk to him about it?" I ask as she nods," Why?"
" Well I can't have him keep sending letters, now can I?" She asks. Angelina does have a point, but I really don't want him near her...
" I guess you're right..." I say, keeping my gaze away from her as I folded my arms on my chest.
" Lucifer? Are you...jealous?~" Angelina asks, obviously teasing me.
" N-No..." I reply, my blood racing to my cheeks.
" You are!" She says, catching the attention of a few people near by," Aww...little Lucy is jealous."
" D-Don't call me that..." I grumbled as Angelina walked closer to me, embracing me in a friendly hug.
" Don't worry Lucy~ No one will steal me away from you~" She chirped, her voice quiet enough that no one else could hear her besides me.
I sighed, patting her back," Thanks for the reassurance..." I replied, a smile tugging on my lips.
" Your welcome!" She cheered before pulling herself away from me," Now I gotta go, can't miss my second period."
" Alright, bye Angel!" I wave to her as I watch my girlfriend happily run to her next class. Once she was out of sight, I turned my heel and began to walk to my second period, which was sadly math...and it's not that I don't like math - I actually pretty good at it - it's just the teacher, Mr. Farewell, he...doesn't really like me. But luckily for Angelina, she has science with Mrs. Wade, who is probably the second nicest teacher in this school.
-----
About 30 minutes into Mr. Farewell's math lesson, I start to feel myself dose off," Mr. Akuma!" Mr. Farewell scolded, causing my half-asleep body to shoot up wards in surprise," Could you PLEASE pay attention in my class. I do not want you here for another year..."
" Yes Mr. Farewell..." I triedly reply, slouching in my seat. Mr. Farewell nods and walks back to the front of the room.
Mr. Farewell is the only teacher in this school who shows me no fear - unless you count our principle - and it's probably the fact that people allow me to walk all over them causes him to hate me so much.
" Mr. Farewell?" I asked, gaining my teacher's attention again," May I go to the restroom?"
My teacher sighed before nodding," Fine, but you better return this time."
I nodded before literally jumping out of my seat and out the door of Mr. Farewell's math class. I began to walk in the direction of Angelina's science class.
What? Did you really think I was going to the bathroom? Of course not. I usually skip school by this time - yeah, I know. It's only second period. By hey! It's boring as hell here - but I wanted to check up on Angelina, since she's been on mind again.
As I walked up to Mrs. Wade's classroom, I peeked my head through the window to see Angelina sitting on the other side of the classroom...
...With Justin Libel leaning over her, his arms on both sides of here?!
I felt my blood boil at the sight. Why the hell was he leaning over her like that?!
I continued to watch as Angelina did her work with Justin leaning over her with a small smirk. Oh what I would give to punch that smirk off his face. Justin said something near her ear, causing her to laugh in response.
I wanted - so badly - to barge into the classroom and push Justin off her, but I knew I would get scolded by both the teacher and Angelina.
So instead, I quickly strode off back to my own classroom, my hands stuffed into my pockets while my blood boiling with rage.
-----
The bell finally rung for lunch. I sprang out of my seat and bolted out the classroom and towards the field area. I had made it through two more periods of class after what I had seen, and I still burn with rage at the thought of it.
As I made my way to the willow tree, I felt myself calm down at the sight on Angelina at the tree. She sat on her knees as she over looked the entire school, soon enough, her gaze finally landed on me," Lucifer!" She waved cheerfully as I walked faster up the hill," There you are! Ready to eat?"
I smiled," Did you bring me lunch again?" I asked, smirking as I sat down next to her.
" Of course I did. I knew you wouldn't pack anything; As usual." She replied, pulling out a ham and cheese sandwich for me," Enjoy!"
" Thanks." I said before unwrapping the sandwich and taking a bite from it.
Angelina pulled out a sandwich for herself before speaking again," So how were your classes?" She asked, now pulling out a water bottle, along with some fruit she packed.
I took another bite," They were...ok." I answered. I wanted to bring up what I saw, but I knew she'd get mad.
" Ok? Did something happen?" She asked as she unwrapped her sandwich and took a small bite.
" Nothing really..." I replied, keeping my gaze away from her.
" Alright..." She said as she continued to eat.
We then ate in silence for a bit. And it wasn't the comfortable silence I was now used to, it had a weird vibe to it.
Angelina wanted to know what was bothering me, but since she had never been able to in the past, she decided to keep her mouth shut until she finished her sandwich. Once she was done, she laid her head in my lap," You don't mind if I lay her, do you?" She asks, looking up at me with her beautiful blue eyes.
" Not at all Angel." I reply, smiling down at the girl on my lap.
" Thanks..." She says before quickly falling asleep then and there. I had already finished my sandwich before Angelina, so I just sat there, playing with the strands of her blond hair.
" She fell asleep so fast...probably didn't enough sleep last night after her nightmare," I say to myself, letting out I quick yawn," I guess we're in the same boat Angel..."
" Angelina?" A male voice asked, breaking the peacefully silence that was in the air. Though I couldn't see the person yet, I already knew who it was," Angelina? I wanted to ask you if-" The man shut up once he made to the top of the hill, where he saw Angelina peacefully asleep on my lap.
The man standing there was none other then Justin Libel. My blood boiled at the sight of him, his brindle hair in the way of his left eye while he stared at us in shock," What do you want? If you can't tell, she's sleeping." I stated, my eyebrows knitted together in anger. Why the hell was he here?
" She's in your lap..." He responds, astonished at what he sees.
" So what? That doesn't answer my question." I state angerly, waiting for him the leave already.
Justin didn't seem at all frighten," I was gonna ask her out."
I felt my body freeze, the world seemed to slow down by his words," You what...?" I asked, looking at him with a now surprised expression.
He must have noticed how surprised I was, because his smirk seem the widen," Yeah, I want to ask her out." he stated, folding his arms on his chest while he wore a smug expression," Got a problem with that?"
I didn't reply, instead, I kept my gaze away from him as my grip on Angelina tightened," Look. It's a no brainer. She's the prettiest girl in the school, AND, she's gullible, meaning she'll do anything a want." He commented, knowing his words would tick me off, which it did," And you think you have a chance against me? I know who you are, but does she?"
" Why don't you go f*** off before I knock a tooth out of your perfect teeth." I growled, shooting Justin an evil glare.
" Alright. Fine." He replied, putting his hands up in defeat as he slowly began to walk backwards," But she'll find out sooner or later, all girls do..."
I growled again before he finally left, and once he was out of sight, I sighed. He was right, she would find out sooner or later, but I just can't tell her yet...
Angelina stirred a bit in my lap, causing me to snap out of my thoughts. A smile formed on my lips as I look at Angelina's sleeping face. She was a cute sleeper," Angelina...wake up." I whispered into her ear as I gently shook her.
She groaned, rolling over to her other side," Five more minutes..." she groaned, keeping her eyes shut.
I chuckled," Angel, the bell is gonna ring in five minutes." I stated, rolling her back onto her other side.
" Then why am I waking up now...!" She whined.
" Because we have things to pack up." I stated, lifting her body up to where she was sitting on my lap, my arms wrapped around her," And if I must clarify, you have things to pack up."
She groaned again before finally opening her sparkling blue eyes," How long was I out?" She asked, stretching her arms before she jumped off my lap, beginning to pack up her stuff.
" Not long." I reply, sitting back and watched as Angelina finished up packing her stuff back up.
" Did anything happen?" She asked, zipping her backpack up.
I was silent for a moment before replying," No. Nothing at all."
" Alright." Angelina replied, standing up from her spot on the ground, swinging her backpack on her shoulders," Now lets go."
I nodded before getting up from the ground. We then began to walk back to the school's main building, both side by side," You know Angel..." I commented, grabbing Angelina's attention,"...you're cute when you sleep..."
Her cheeks turned a red," Don't say things like that..."
" Aww, but it's fun making you blush~" I teased with a smirk," You're cute when you blush~"
" Stawp!" She whined, covering her face with her hands.
I chuckled again, she was what made me smile. I hadn't laughed since the accident, but she was the one who did make me laugh, she was what made me happy.
" After you." I stated politely, holding the door open for her.
" Why thank you my good sir." Angelina stated playfully, walking into the school building with me behind her.
-----
Another two periods go by, and I'm now heading to my 7th period. But I gotta make a pit stop at Angelina's locker, have to check up on her you know.
As I walk to her locker, I could see Angelina talking to someone. Through the crowed, I could tell it wasn't Kate, it was someone much taller...
...It was none other than Justin Libel...again...
" Well, if you say so..." She says, her binder in hand as she looks in my direction, once she notices me coming, she quickly waves," Lucifer! Over here!"
Justin looks over his shoulder and notices me walking towards him, a evil smirk forms on his lips ' That can't be good...' I thought as my pace quickened.
Once I reached the two, Angelina embraced me in a small, friendly hug," There you are! Coming to check up on me again?" Angelina asks, smiling brightly at me.
I rub my neck nervously as I feel Justin's eyes locked onto me," Yeah, why else would I be here?" I ask, trying not to sound so nervous.
" Well, we can start walking. Justin and I just finished talking about my science homework." She states, grabbing my arm and pulling me in the other direction.
" Wait, Angelina." Justin says, grabbing Angelina's free hand, causing my blood to boil once more.
" Hands off." I growl, pulling Angelina's hand away from him.
He glared at me, but continued to talk to Angelina," I wanted to ask you something." he states, causing Angelina to grow nervous. She knew what he was gonna ask.
" Justin, please don't-"
" Angelina, will you go out with me?" He blurts out, catching the attention of everyone near by.
' Great, now everyone is watching...' I thought to myself as I waited for Angelina to answer.
" Justin, I-I...I'm flattered, really, but..." She looks down at the floor,"...I'm already dating someone..."
I heard some gasp from afar as Justin's once smug expression turned into a shocked one," You're what..?!" He questioned in disbelief.
" I said, I'm already dating someone...so I have to kindly decline..." Angelina repeats, stepping back a bit, and into me.
Students now began to whisper to each other within the crowed, causing an evil smirk to form on my lips," Who are you dating?! I'll show you that I'm way better then them!" Justin states.
" Sorry, but I lov- I mean! like the person I'm dating." Angelina replies, smiling as kindly as she could to him," Now if you can excuse me-"
But as Angelina tried to walk away, Justin grabbed her arm again and pulled her close to him - causing Angelina to drop her binder on the floor - placing his hands on her hips, making me want to punch him in his smug face," I can prove I'm better..." He stated, smirking down at Angelina,"...By a kiss..."
He began to lean down towards her burning face, but I quickly ripped Angelina out of his grasp," Mine!" I growled, holding Angelina with my arms protectively around her.
The crowd of students gasped in surprise, as Justin seemed...shocked," What are you doing?"He questioned, a bit surprised by my sudden reaction.
" L-Lucifer, let-"
" Protecting her from you." I barked, keeping Angelina as far as I could from Justin.
" Let go of her, she isn't your girlfriend." Justin protested, trying to get closer to us.
" G-Guys, could you not-"
" And what if I was? Would you then leave her alone?" I questioned, my eyebrows knitted together.
Justin laughed, along with a few students who continued to watch this scene play out," Yeah right. The school's angel dating the devil? Hah! Don't flatter yourself."
" I'll have you know he would be a great boyfriend! A better one then you'd ever be!" Angelina shouted, trying to get out of my grip to hit Justin, but I kept her in place.
Justin stopped laughing, and look at Angelina with a serious expression," What? You choose him over me?" he questioned - confused as hell - as Angelina nodded," You gotta be kidding me..."
" I'm not." Angelina stated seriously, finally slipping out of my protective grip," He's more kind then you, and has a better personality too, those are things I look for in guys."
Justin's - and about everyone else's present - jaw seemed to drop to the floor. A smirk formed on my lips as Angelina continued to speak," And sadly Justin, you don't hold any qualities I like, so that's why-" Angelina had turned around to face me, but when she did, I smashed my lips with hers, wrapping my arms around her torso.
Her eyes grew wide - along with everyone else's - in surprise by my kiss. People began to take pictures, and some fainted in surprise. Once I pulled away from Angelina, I looked up at Justin to see the most p***** off expression on his face.
I smirk in satisfaction, but suddenly, a hand came right across my cheek. A slapping noise was heard, causing my eyes to grow wide. I stared down at Angelina - who seemed like she was about to burst into tears - looking at me with and angered expression.
' She just slapped me...' I thought, trying to process what happened.
" H-How could you...?" She said, a single tear rolling down her cheek.
And before I could even speak - or get any words out of my mouth that is - Angelina sprinted off, leaving me in the eye of the storm. I slowly raised my hand to my left cheek, feeling it sting as I try to touch it.
For being such a small girl, she's got one hell of a slap.
" I guess the devil got rejected..!" Justin commented, causing several students to laugh.
" That's it..." I said to myself as I raise my right fist in the air and swung it towards Justin's face.
Once it made contact, Justin fell back," Don't EVER talk to me or Angelina again. Got that?!" I stated, practically shouting at him.
He didn't respond, he seemed to have gotten a concussion by my hit. I turned in the direction of where I saw Angelina run to. As I began to walk, everyone in my path quickly moved out of the way, in fear of me.
I didn't take any mind of it, instead, I worried over Angelina. She had ran off crying...because of me...
I found myself outside at the field area again. Though school was still in session, no one was outside at the moment, which made it easy for me to find Angelina.
As I scanned the empty field, the sounds of sobs caught my attention. I turned my head and followed the noise, as the sobs grew closer, I notice I was heading towards - none other than - the willow tree.
Once I reached the top of the hill, I found Angelina sobbing against the tree, her back facing me. Guilt hit me like a punch to the stomach, I had made her cry, the light of my life...
" Angelina..?" I said, catching the attention of the crying girl.
She turned around and faced me, tears streaming down her face," W-What do you want..." She asked, sniffling as she whipped away her tears.
" I wanted to check on you...after you ran off an all..." I reply, rubbing the nape of my neck nervously as I slowly walked towards her.
" I-I'm fine...I would be better if you DIDN'T kiss me in front of the whole school..!" She snapped, tears creasing her now puff cheeks," I-It's all your fault you stupid jerk face..."
I chuckled," Stupid jerk face? Do you even cuss?" I asked as Angelina shook her head," Wow, you must be the purest student at this school..."
She giggled as she laid her head on her knees," Y-You say that as if it is a bad thing..."
" It isn't. It's actually one of the many qualities I like about you..." I reply, sitting down next to her.
She smiled before the silence returned, but this time, it was peaceful. Finally, I decided to break the ice," Angel, look." I began, causing Angelina to look in my direction," I'm sorry for kissing you in front of everyone, I know you weren't ready, I was jealous and I just wanted to..."
" You just wanted to protect me, I understand..." Angelina finishes my sentence, smiling at the ground as she did,"...I'm glad you protected me."
" I would do anything for you..." I reply,a soothing smile on my face as I leaned my face closer to Angelina. She soon starts to lean in until our lips brush together. This feeling I feel when we kiss drives me crazy, it always feels like the first time...
Once we break up our short kiss, I look up at Angelina with a small smile," Do you forgive me now..?" I ask as Angelina nods happily.
She jumps onto my and embraces me in a loving hug," Of course I forgive you idiot..." She replies, laying her head on my shoulder," Do you really think I would let you kiss me - again - if I didn't forgive you?"
I chuckle," I guess you're right..." I say, leaning my back against the tree, with Angelina leaning on my shoulder," So...I guess our relationship is out now..."
" Yeah, it is...I'm glad..."
" Me too..."
Another moment of silence before Angelina speaks up again," So what happened with Justin when I ran off?" She asks, a bit curious.
" I punch him in the face." I reply casually," And I might have given him a concussion..."
" You what?!" Angelina shouted in surprise," You gave him a concussion?! Because you got jealous?!"
" Yes!" I replied in a bit of an angered tone, Angelina jumped back a bit. I let out a tired sigh after a moment," At lunch - when you fell asleep - Justin came looking for you to ask you on a...date..."
Angelina now leaned her back on the tree instead of me as I continued to speak," He said he was gonna date only because you were pretty and gullible..."
" Is that why you got jealous?"
" No. I saw him hovering over you in your silence class..." I say, hoping she doesn't get mad at me for watching her or think I was skipping class.
" Oh?" She says as I nod. Before I knew it, she was bursting into laughter," You thought he was hitting on me?"
I nod in embarrassment, causing Angelina to laugh more," What is so funny?"
" Nothing, it's just...Justin is the T.A. for Mrs. Wade, he was helping me with my science classwork." She answers, smiling at me," Though he was a bit too close, he ended up helping me in the end. That's why you saw him talking to me before at my locker."
" Oh...well don't I feel like a jealous jerk..."
" You're not a jealous jerk..." Angelina states, gripping onto my left arm," You're just a protective boyfriend."
" Is that a good thing?"
" To me, yes."
" That's is good to hear."
" Well, if my boyfriend is willing to knock some kid out for me, I think I'd stay with him." Angelina joked.
" Speaking of knocking out, I would like to ask how someone so small - but no offence - could slap so hard?" I asked, curious myself.
She shrugged her shoulders," Don't know. I guess it's a girl thing..."
We then sat there under the tree - the gentle breeze blowing by us every once and awhile - until the sound of the 7th period bell rang," Welp. We missed 7th period." I stated, picking myself off of the ground before lending Angelina a hand as well.
" Yup, but I must say, this was WAY more interesting than 7th period reading hall." Angelina commented as I pulled her up, brushing herself off before making her way down hill with me.
" Oh~ Not so goody-two-shoes now are we?" I teased, a playful smirk on my face.
" Hey, sometimes life and drama is more interesting than school." She comments, adjusting her backpack strap.
Once we make it to the door of the school building, Angelina hesitating reaches for the handles, but once she grabs a hold of them, she doesn't pull them open.
"Angel? If you're too scared to go in, we can go around." I say, grabbing onto her other hand and pulling her towards the side of the school building.
But Angelina doesn't follow," No." She states, trying to act confident," I want to walk through the school and show that ' Yes, I am in a relationship with Lucifer Akuma'."
A smile spreads across my face," I think that is one of the kindest things I've heard someone say to me in awhile." I say before I pull open the doors.
" Well I'm glad I was the one to tell you then..!" Angelina says cheerfully before I pull open the doors of the school and walk in, our fingers still intertwined with each other.
Though many stared at us with fear, confusion, disgust, and jealously, to Angelina and I, it was like we were the only people in the world.
This girl that I'm holding right now is my reason to live, my light in my darkness, my angel...
