Mia's POV
"Is that so. Okay, I'll just find another seat," I sounded friendly. Seriously, I was trying to be a normal not awkward teenager.My heart was beating fast as I look for another vacant seat. I could still hear his voice in the back of my ears. It sounded so manly, so good yet so cold.
I caught his eyes still staring at me, he looked away as his adam's apple moved upside down. He was a snob, I guess. Maybe people here were snubbers.
"Hey!" A girl raised her hand. She was just behind the guy with cold eyes.
She was smiling so I managed to smile back.
"You can sit beside me. No one owns this chair." Her voice was sweet. I guess not everyone here was cold. I glanced at the snob man again before walking passed by him.
I shook my head as my heart was intimidated by his stares. I could feel there was something about him that I should discover. I felt like I'd met him before. Don't know, maybe just uhm.. kinder classmate? It doesn't matter anyway.
"You're the new student," the friendly girl said.
I smiled at her.
"I'm Claire by the way." She offered me a hand so I accepted it. I looked into her eyes. It was pretty almond, she was pretty and friendly.
"Have we met before?" I asked when I felt like her eyes were kinda familiar.
She wrinkled. "Have we?" she just returned the question!
I shrugged. "I guess no. Just call me Mia," I said with a smile.
"Okay, nice to meet you, Mia," she said happily. I guess she was that kind of happy go lucky girl and she also looks easy to get around.
But what the heck?! I couldn't help but look at the familiar boy sitting in front of us, his back was just in front of Claire.
I couldn't keep my eyes off his sexy back. He looked like a mysterious guy even his body looks undeniably mysterious. He was quiet, not bothering to talk to anyone. Didn't he have any friends here or is he a transferee too?
"It's Ken, you like him?"
I looked at Claire. She was smiling like a child.
My brows arched. "No," I simply said. So Ken was his name, Ken.
She smiled wider. "Then why do you keep on looking at him. Hmm... Come on! Admit it. I'm good at keeping secrets." She winked.
I scooped her softly as she tickled me on my waist. "Stop it. Can we just be quiet?" I hissed.
She sat properly still wearing her playful smile. "But you have a crush on him?"
Well, he was handsome, he looked so manly. His emerald eyes were alluring, he has luscious kissable lips and a perfect pointed nose. It was like everything was perfect about him, but his attitude? A big no! He looked so cold-hearted.
"He looks so familiar."
Claire was about to say something when someone entered the room and the gossip plus whispers disappeared. I thought teachers here were nuns I guess I was wrong.
"Good morning Miss Teresa," they all greeted.
"Good morning," Miss Teresa responded.
"She's our teacher in history. She's kind, just don't make her mad. She loves history. History of every person, so expect that she will command you to tell a story about your life." Claire whispered, but it wasn't sinking into my head. I was just floating, I couldn't stop glancing at Ken's back. I was getting distracted every time his masculinity moves.
I looked at the seat where I was supposed to sit a while ago. The armchair was still empty, still no one was sitting. I pouted. He said someone already owned that chair but it seemed like he lied.
I looked at Claire. "Who's sitting there? Late?" I asked while looking at the chair next to Ken.
"No one is sitting there. That's a vacant seat too."
I managed to stop my brows from crossing. So he did lie to me for the sake of me not sitting beside him. Why was that?
"So where's our new student?" Miss Teresa asked.
I raised my hand.
She smiled at me. "Come in front and introduce yourself."
I looked around as my heart stiffened when all of their attention goes to me. They were all looking at me as if they were waiting for me to make a mistake. My eyes met Ken; damn! His eyes looks good but intimidating. I looked away when I felt a bolt of lightning strike my chest through his eyes.
I went in front. I toured my eyes again; I puffed a breath. Seriously, who doesn't get anxious when all eyes are on you? Though not all were staring at me. Some seem to not care at all, some were sleeping, and some were having their businesses. I stole a quick gaze on Ken; I gulped, he was also looking at me like he was melting every inch of me.
"Hello everyone. I'm Maria Isabelle Allaris; nineteen, will turn twenty this year, and you can just call me Mia." I looked at Miss Teresa after I was done with my very short speech.
"That's all?" she asked.
I nodded.
"Try to share something about you," she commanded.
What about me? An awkward girl who has weird nightmares every night and feel things that normal teenagers doesn't feel.
"What about me?" I have no idea what to tell.
"Something like, how often you masturbate every month," a guy sitting on the last line said.
My eyes widened and my heart almost dropped. What did he just say? We were in a Christian school. I never expected some people here were assholes too.
"Kyle, watch your words!" Miss Teresa said, almost shouting.
"What? That was what normal teenagers do," the guy on the last line spoke again.
"Ya. Sometimes they make it an every week routine," another guy said with a laugh.
"Or even just tell your statistics,"
"Or your cup-sized,"
"Or tell us what's your favourite position when masturbating,"
It was a series of vulgarities that I heard. My chest was punching me. I couldn't breathe properly. I didn't notice who was who, they all looked fucking pigs! Jerks!
"Class enough!" Miss Teresa shouted but they didn't seem to mind it. They still dared to say vulgar words.
I couldn't accept how they were acting. I thought people here were holy.
"Tell me do you use a dildo or vibrator?"
"Or what was your favourite condom flavour?"
"Damn!" Ken slammed his armchair. "Can't you guys just shut the fuck up and let her fucking talk on her own!"
I was stunned my heart felt like it froze for a minute. Did he just protect me from those assholes?
"Easy Ken--"
"Shut the fuck up and leave her alone!"
Mia's POV"Easy man, we're just having fun here." The jerk wouldn't stop blubbering"That's enough class," Miss Tere was holding her temper. I could see it through her deep glares."Bro, this is not the right place to have fun." Ken wouldn't stop either. "Go to a place where you can wank with some of your bitches and not with that innocent girl in front of us.""Watch your words, class!" Miss Tere's voice was starting to get louder.I wanted to smile. I felt like Ken was protecting me from the jerks. Maybe he wasn't that bad at all. Although the way he talks was intimidating. His voice sounded authoritarian and I was kinda uncomfortable with the fact that it sounded like I heard that kind of voice before. I just couldn't remember when or how.I could still hear how he described me from those assholes. Innocent; I wasn't innocent. I may looked like an innocent girl but I wasn't. I know how complicated the world is and how it could turn upside
Mia's POV"Stay away from him before you regret everything."The words from the creepy stranger stick on my head like a glue gun. I was supposed to ask him about what he creepingly said but he quickly turned around and walked fast away from me. I didn't try to chase him as I was stunned by his intimidating look."Stay away from whom and why?" I whispered while I was washing my hands in the restroom's sink.I shook my head twice. Maybe he was just playing with me. He was a stranger. I shouldn't believe anything he says. I puffed a breath when I remembered that he was the reason why I lost my sight to Ken.I flinched when someone held my shoulder from behind. I faced the woman laughing because she shocked me."You do like him huh..." Claire smirked as she pinched my waist."What's our next subject?" I asked to avoid the topic about Ken. I wanted to erase him from my mind."It's our vacan
Kash' POV"You're still an angel Kash. You and Mia are still an angel. Lucifer just cursed you--""And the highest ups didn't even bother to help us. They just let us burn in this place, live with the curse and that's it! I have been living this way, suffering as if I did something so bad in the Kingdom." I shook my head with my chest tightening. "Mia? She always dies... repeatedly." I took a deep breath as I remembered what was soon to happen. "Angels don't die, Claire. We are not angels anymore." I accepted that fact for a very long time. I was tired of being punished for something I had no idea what. If only I could kill myself. I mean I tried, but fucking Lucifer cursed me to live forever."You sound like you're questioning the highest ups." "I'm just stating facts, Claire.""You're stating what you believe is right. Why can't you just trust me? I'm here to help, Kash. I'm here to help Mia and you." I laughed sarcastically as I shook my head. "You can't help us. You don't know
"I'm Devon by the way." He offered his hand without answering my confused face. "Mia right?"My brows arched. How come he knew my name? My lips parted and were about to speak when he cut me off."Well, sources."He said still not removing his smile. Unlike Ken, his eyes weren't cold, but it was spooky. It was so cryptic that my body would goosebumps from minute to minute of his stares. "Someone's bothering you?" His dark voice brought me back to reality. Our eyes met once again as my heartbeat fast. I couldn't figure out what was the anxiousness in my chest all about. I avoided his deep, suffocating gaze.I shook my head. "Uhm... I need to go. Excuse me." I stood and he smiled wider.I gasped before walking away from him."Have a great day!" He shouted as I continued walking.That Devon guy was making me uncomfortable like hell. I shook my head while walking toward the restroom. I walked slowly when I heard footsteps behind my back. I looked behind but there was no one. I made big s
Finally, our wholeday class ended. I chose to walked around the school first. My feet reached the garden. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath with the good and refreshing air, giving a good smell due to colorful flowers around. I stopped walking when I saw a beautiful fountain but a man sitting on a cemented chair near it caught my attention. I bit my lower lip as it sinked in to me that it was Ken. His messy hair was dancing along the strong wind; I memorized his firm back from our wholeday lesson like I just couldn't stop staring at him during class. He puffed a breath like he was thinking so deeply with his emotionless face. I shrugged before walking closer to the cemented chair. I sat next to him. "Hi," I murmured. His face lifted until our eyes met. His gaze was deep the minute it landed on my face. I gulped before looking away. The strange feeling behind his glimmering eyes was kinda bothering though it was making me more curious about him at the same time. He looked at
"So how was your school?" Dad asked while we were eating dinner. "Good." I shrugged, just looking at my plate.It has been good, though I felt like there was something mysterious in that school that has been hunting me.Ken would often pop in on my mind, reminiscing the image of what happened between us a while ago. I could still sense the feeling of his touch on my skin and his deep, melting stares, digging my soul through my eyes. His voice often was playing on my eardrums, and the last words about his story gave me goosebumps.“He will always be miserable watching the girl he loves dying every after centuries.”I was so affected by that part. I felt sad about the angel lover's situation too. Hearing their story, it was so horrible."Mia, are you with us?" I looked at mom as my brows crossed. Did she just say something? I lost my senses."Sorry, mon. Come again?" Mom sighed. She often gets stressed out because of me suddenly popping out in the conversation like I was with them bu
It was Saturday. Thank, goodness, no school. I decided to visit my grandmother in the cemetery since it was her birthday. She was one of the people who raised me. I sat on the lawn while staring at her tomb. I was in the cemetery a few hours already, talking to her. I stood when J noticed that it was getting darker. "Granny, I need to go home." I caressed her tomb one last time. "Bye..." I whispered before walking away. While making my way out of the cemetery, I stopped and looked at the man, sitting on the lawn, in front of a tomb; weeping. My brows crossed. His side view looked like Ken. Am I hallucinating? I wasn't that crazy to hallucinate. I slowly walked towards him as I confirmed it was really Ken. He was holding the tombstone while sobbing. My lips thinned. I never thought I would see him crying; the sound of his sob was so in pain. "Ken?" I called. He raised his head as he looked at me. He quickly looked away, wiping the tears on his cheeks. "What are you doing here?" I
It took me a while to calm my thumping chest while the strong wind was slapping me in the cemetery. I took one last deep breath before I started walking. I stopped when I almost stepped on a wallet on the lawn.My brows crossed as I looked around, slightly hoping that Ken was still around but there was no sign of him anymore. I picked up the wallet to check what was inside, just to confirm if it was owned by Ken.My brows crossed at the picture of a woman in the wallet. It was an old picture, looking vintage with its wrinkled photo paper and somehow fading colours.Everything got blurry while the picture I was staring at was getting clear in my head. It was impossible. The woman in the picture looks just like me, only with a different hairstyle, an old vintage hairstyle. I took the picture out of the wallet just to see it clearly. My heart started thumping loud again. My eyes widened as my chest dug its veins. Who is this? Why do I look just like her? I'm so sure it looks like me but
"Getting what's supposed to be mine," Lucifer whispered in my ears as he tightened his arm's grip on my neck while he remained at my back.I looked around, trembling as the angels panicking in the background got crowded. They were whispering, exclaiming, and some were gossiping. King arrived and tried to calm the angels down. Lucifer still didn't let me go and just kept on threatening us like he was getting into King's nerves."You'll be mine, Mia," he whispered with a sharp voice, stabbing my chest."Lucifer, please calm down and let her go." King was so calm, he just kept convincing Lucifer to let me go."I would never let go of what's mine!""I'm not yours." I gritted my lips but they thinned when he tightened his grip on my neck. I looked up, catching a breath to calm my chest."You are mine, Mia and you can do nothing about it." The tip of his lip touched my ear.I squeezed my eyes close, carefully breathing."Lucifer, what do you want?" King asked him."Mia!" Kash's voice thump
I was chasing my breath as we kissed passionately. Gradually, our memories together made their way to my head, flashing everything back to my mind.--I was walking alone in the garden, happily living in the Kingdom as an angel when someone pulled me and placed my back in the wall corner. My heart flinched as I met Lucifer's eyes while he gripped both of my shoulders so my body would just lock in the wall.My head stiffened but I managed to look around, hoping there were other angels around but there was no one. My knees trembled at Lucifer's stare."W-what do you want?" I asked.Lucifer wasn't one of the friendly and fun-loving angels in the Kingdom. He was the most devious species that ever existed to the point that everyone here was doing their best to avoid him.He playfully smirked. "Guess what." I looked away, I couldn't even stand his creepy grin.Our place was supposed to be healthy and peaceful and I couldn't understand why the highest-ups allowed Lucifer to still be hanging
"Hello?!" I entered the quiet chapel despite of darkness roaring around. I took all my courage to stepped in every corner of the place, looking around.The surroundings was spooky and dark. There was only a yellow dim on the ceiling but the moon was even brighter outside this chapel. "Hello?" I looked up at the high ceiling, then at the stadium with a big cross on the center.He should be here. The guy who called me earlier should be here by now. I knew I was foolish to believe on that guy but I was desperate, so eager to know what was going on, specially the truth about myself.All my life I have never feel so settled in my life, so contented on what I know. There was always a part of me that was missing and now I could finally feel that I was near to getting that missing piece; I was hoping that my instincts were right."Hello?! Anybody here?!" I was walking around when the door slammed close. I flinched as I looked at it. My heart started thudding. It wasn't just a wind. The loud
