Chapter 1
Aemie's POV
The sunlight hitting my face this morning felt like a total hate crime. I stared at the ceiling wondering if I could legally retire at seventeen so I wouldn't have to deal with studies & all.
"AEEMMIIIEE!!!!! If your ass isn't downstairs in 5 minutes I'm going to eat your breakfast, drink your iced coffee, and tell your friends you still play with dolls! "my annoying older brother Kane's voice thundered,vibrating my entire soul.
"Go play with your handcuffs ,bro...Some of us are busy having a mental breakdown.And if you touch my iced coffee then I'm putting glitter in your duty shoes,you overgrown police siren!"I screamed back,throwing a pillow at the door with enough force to kill an animal.
I rolled out of bed,my hair looking like a bird's nest,one of my shoes-which are new- is somewhere I don't know where!? Ofcourse
but waitttt.......what if my shoe is captured by a demon and now I have to fight with it to save the world-because it demanded so-And if I don't do it then I'll die. Suddenly I took a comb and starting doing fight poses,where i'm striking someone with my great sword(comb).
"WwHAT The Hell aemie!?"I heard a voice which was very sharp,terrifying....OOOOOMMMMGG the demon is here?
Wait I'll show you who's almighty Aemie hunh!!
I came to my senses and was ready to strike the demon-I turned around- the comb fell from my hands.Because,standing infront of me was Kane with my shoe in his hand and his expression was shocked to see me.
Does that mean Kane killed the demon I wanted to kill?
I went to Kane and asked,"Bro,where's the demon?"
Kane exclaimed,"Demon??"
I continued ,"Yes, the demon-Whom you killed!..Where's his dead body?"I started to investigate behind Kane,In my room,On the stairs..But no sign of the demon's dead body.Oh I understood.I said,"OH I understood it..After you killed the demon it must have vanished right?After all it's a demon not a human so it's dead body might not be visible to humans,right?it must have vanished right?",I was saying some or the other thing but Kane was just standing like a spirit there.
OH NOOOOO!!
Before Kane killed the demon, the demon must have did something to my brother..OH holy crap.Or maybe kane have had to surrender himself first to kill the demon and that's why to save the world kane surrendered himself...
I have to make kane conscious-So I closed my eyes and started to shake his body(don't ask me why I closed my eyes) ,"KANNNEEEE!!!!!MY BROTHER WAKE UPP!!!Why did you surrender to the demon?I.." Before I could continue someone smacked my head and I opened my eyes to see who dared to smack me..
And I saw Kane standing there ,He blurted out,"Stop this stupidity and get ready for your first day of school-wear your uniform I'll drop you."He then gave me my shoe and continued,"Here's your shoe..wear this and please for god's sake be ready fast You're already late"
I made a piece sign and looked at him with puppy eyes but he ignored me and stormed out of my room.
First day of school.The day everyone tries to show off a 'new persona' but let's be real -I don't have time for that fake shit and all.I'm a messy topper.I'll get the grades but I'll look like I've survived a war zone.
The air in the room suddenly dropped to freezing. A cold mist curled around my mirror.
"Not now milo. I'm not in the mood for your ghostly bullshit",I snapped,grabbing my face powder.
Milo showed up in the mirror ,leaning against my shoulder with a punchable smirk.He looked like a Teenager who died in 1970s.
"You're late boss,"his voice echoed in my head like an ice cube down my back."The circus starts in twenty minutes.You're the star clown."
"Eat a bagful of curses and shits,milo. I'm the ringmaster not the clown,"I muttered,drawing a middle finger on mirror with my face powder.
I scrambled into my uniform.SECTION E .Apparently E stands for Elite but it better stands for enjoyment because if no enjoyment then I'll get bored..I grabbed my bag and ran downstairs,nearly dying as I passed my aunts,"Aemie! Eat the breakfast or you'll grow into skinny legged monkey brain!" Aunt blaze shouted waving a spatula like a weapon.
"I'm going Auntie!Love you!You look beautiful today."I called out,my voice suddenly soft as I kissed her cheek.I was a brat to kane but I wan't a monster.I snatched a piece of toast & dived out the front door,secretly entered the car and there sitting was the annoyingly handsome brother of mine-KANE.
As soon as I entered he started lecturing me on discipline.
BLAH!BLAH!BLAH!BLAH!
And Obviously I didn't pay any attention to him because I was looking out at a person-just little older than me-He was staring at me.
"Who are you staring at?huh?Should I poke your eyes out?"I shouted at the man and was about to step out but the door was locked.I gave kane a very annoying expression and kept looking out where that Termite gave me a knowing look stormed off!FUCKK YOUU...IF I SEE YOU SOMEWHERE NA THEN BE READY FOR MY PUNCHES.
(After some time)
If there was an award for worst impressions-
I'd win it.
Easily.
"Run ,You're late!"
"I know ,damn it-"
I sprinted through the gates of Emerald Celestial High. I didn't know anyone here yet-just a sea of expensive uniforms and faces I hadn't named. I tried to be polite,nodding a "good morning" to the security guard and smiling at a girl who looked just as lost as I was.
"It smells like expensive cologne and massive egos,"Milo added floating invisibly beside me."And look the king of oxygen is here."
I followed milo's gaze. A black SUV pulled up.Out stepped a guy who looked like he had been carved from ice and pure arrogance.He was tall. He had muscular body. Overall handsome but still EWWW!!
The nuthead[I didn't know his name yet but his vibe said ,'I OWN THE WORLD' so that's his name]
His uniform was messy but clean.
His hair was that 'I just woke up but I'm a model' level of messy.
"Why does he look like he's about to give a speech on how to be a massive prick!" I hissed.
"Move it Shortstack.You're blocking the air" A deep voice rasped right behind my ear.I froze.The nuthead was standing three inches away.He smelled expensive,"Get out my way."He completed the sentence.
My 'polite girl' mode vanished instantly."Oh.I'm so sorry,"I said my voice turning into serrated knife."I didn't realize the sidewalk was your private property.Do I need to pay the tax to stand her or do you accept soul transfers? You arrogant shit stain!"
His eyes cold,dark and annoying swept over me.He looked like my messy hair and the toast crumbs on my chin were a personal insult to his existence.
"Keep the soul.It is definitely as messy as your hair."He said,his lip curling into a smirk that made me want to punch him."And for the record? You are in my way again"
"AND for the record! your ego is taking three parking spots shrink it or shove it up your ass" I snapped.
He leaned in,his voice dropping to a dangerous low hum,"Careful, shortstack . You wouldn't want to break on the first day.Would you? It would be a damn shame." HE brushed past me,his shoulder hitting mine.
"Ughh!! I hope he trips on his vanity and breaks his stupid nose!"I shouted after him.
"He won't" Milo whispered appearing right right next to that ice king's head."but he did just notice that your shoelaces are untied."
"FFFUUUUCCCKKKK!"
I tripped immediately.Hard. I hit the pavement with a thud. Total silence. Then, I heard it. A low, dark chuckle from the guy ahead of me. He didn’t even look back, but he raised a hand in a lazy wave.
''Dignity = zero,'' I groaned into the dirt. “Milo, if you laugh, I will find a way to kill you again.”
''I’m not laughing,'' Milo lied, his ghostly shoulders shaking. ''But the ground seems to really like you, Aemie.''
I stood up, wiped the dust off my skirt, and fel lt the heat rising in my chest.
"WATCH IT IDIOT--"A voice laughed from above.
I pushed myself up looking at those assholes,"You trip people for fun?"I said my voice sharp enough to tear their souls apart."You look like the kind of people who thinks tripping people is a personality trait and it makes you look cool. huh. Be original ,asshole." The laughter stopped.Their smiles dropped.I tripped again.
"Hey are you okay?"
I turned.A guy standing there,offering his hand.Calm eyes,Polite,not laughing. hmm-SUSPICIOUS.
"Define okay"I muttered staring at his hand like it personally offended me.I took it and he pulled me up easily."Hi,I'm JUDE STERLING," He smiled.
"Aemie-Aemie Cross," I said dusting off my skirt.
I hurriedly checked the time . DAMN . I was very late.I quickly ran towards my classroom ------------------------------------------ TO BE CONTINUED ------------------------------------------
