In fact. I don't think I have a strong suit. I suck at everything. Anyway, back at school, it's my second week and already I see James torturing yet another poor soul. I decide to leave them alone. I walk up to class before the bell rings just so I'm not late. I feel a grip on my shoulder and Plucifer's reactions kick in, I turn around into a fighting stance in 0.04 seconds, less time than the fastest reaction known to man.
"Christ, you scared me!" I exclaim. It's just Lily.
"Oh I'm sorry, I just wanted to show you something"
"Umm, right before school?"
"There's still 20 minutes"
I check my watch, then realize I ate breakfast at home, there was no need to eat at school, so I didn't.
"Huh, you're right"
"Well, come on." She says, a bit hurriedly. I follow, not expecting anything. She leads me into a dark corner where nobody goes near.
"Thanks, didn't need you to remind me of my usual hangout corner" I say sarcastically.
"Aww, don't be stupid, dumbass, that's not what I wanted to show you" she replied, jokingly.
Now I'm interested. The fact that she isn't horrified or disgusted at my appearance is progress, at least. She began to step back, and flames engulfed her. I leapt back, into a wall. I became dizzy. What I saw was a gaping stab wound in my stomach, the person that replaced Lily held a small, crimson blade and then darkness.
