Chapter 12: THE FREAK AND THE PRICK

V A L E N T I N A 

I had to thank Ryan a lot. If it wasn't for his help, I would have gotten lost in this big ass school. Hearing his thoughts was kind of funny though. He was just as pure as he looked. He was growing on me which was really bad. Man! I needed to get laid.

"Valentina, would you like to answer this question?" The teacher- whose name I forgot- stared me. Okay, hold up. This was my first day in class and this woman was already targeting me. What the heck?!

I looked at the board to see some words were scripted on it. "Who was the first president of America?" She crossed her arms across her chest.

Now, how the fuck was I supposed to know that? I was not a genius to know that. Heck! I was not even born here.

"How am I supposed to know that? I was not even born during that time."

At my comment, her eyes widened. Some of the students started laughing. Do these Idiots laugh at everything? I just said a simple fact. I could hear their inner thoughts and they were not pleasant.

God, she is so rude!

I like bad girls!

Bruh, she got no respect

"What's so funny?" I glanced at the students. They all quieted down and stared at me as if I grew two heads. I could still hear their snickering but I paid no mind to them. I was used to this shit.

I could not care less about how they perceived me. I was always taught to respect my elders unless they are being a real douche. Like my mother. I never respected her cause she was a real douche. Yeah, she might have given birth to me, but that did not give her the right to treat me like that.

I glanced at the teacher who looked shocked at my behaviour. I was not shocked at that. That was not the first time I got a reaction like that. "I am sorry, Miss. I did not mean for it to come out rudely."

A smile appeared on her face. "It is okay. Well, let's get on with the lesson." She clapped her hands together and turned to the board. "So is there anyone else who knows the answer?" She turned toward us again.

The entire class got quite. No one was willing to answer the damn question. Okay, now I was confused. How came these students did not know who their first president was? At least I had an excuse that I was not from here, but who was I to judge? I also did not know who the first queen of my world was.

"It is George Washington, Miss!" A student yelled out. No one stared at him as he spoke, probably they are used to his antics.

Ugh, can he ever stop yelling out the answer?

What a lame loser!

How was answering a question make you look like a loser? This school was fucked up! I was starting to dislike them.

"Good job, Aaron!" Miss smiled at him. I glanced at the kid to see that he was happy that he was acknowledged. He looked like he did not give a fuck of what the class thought of him, but I could hear the pain in his thoughts and eyes.

He must have noticed that someone was staring at him because he glanced back at me and a dark hue adored his face. He tore his eyes away from me and faced the board. Awww...cute.

Whoosh

What the actual fuck was that? I could suddenly feel a dark presence in the school. Due to my physic powers, I was able to hear thoughts, see people who they truly are through telekinesis, feel when something sinister is near me, and get a premonition. And that was just half of my power. Due to being the queen's daughter, I was blessed with these abilities, but I did not consider them as blessings. How was hearing what people truly think about you a blessing?

There was something off and my senses were never wrong. I contemplated on whether I should leave the class and check it out. How do I approach this to the teacher? Aha! I should do what humans do. Ask to go to the restroom!

I raised my hand. "Umm, Miss. Can I go to the bathroom?" Yeah, that should work. I thought.

She stared at me for a second before a smile appeared on her face. "Why of course! Make sure to sign your name on the bathroom sheet before you go."

I smiled. "Thank you." And I bolted out of the room.

I walked for a while, using my nose to detect where the source was. Whoever that was, had a bloody scent with a little hint of forest. What a weird combination.

Finally, after walking around this giant place, I was able to land on the source. It was a freaking restroom. A male restroom. What would a spirit do in a restroom? Maybe it was those kinds of spirits that liked to spy people in the restroom. I was not sure if it was a male spirit or a female.

"I said, let it go!" A voice which I suppose it was a female yelled. What the actual fuck?! What was a woman doing in the male restroom?

I leaned my ear towards the door to hear more clearly. Maybe it was a couple fucking and the spirit must be watching them. If that was true, then that must be a perverted spirit. Whoever the lady was, suddenly released a dark chuckle. Goosebumps erupted from my body. That does not sound like a moan.

"Fine! If this is how you want things to go." What kind of kinky shit was happening inside?! I must check it. I slammed the door open. It was extra, but I love doing extra entrances. My eyes landed on a naked woman whose hand with sharp claws were up in the air, ready to strike. I then looked down to see Ryan on the floor. His eyes almost shutting.

My eyes widened in horror. "Ryan!" I jerked my head in the direction of the woman. I clenched my fist. What the fuck was she doing to Ryan? I was seething in anger. Was she trying to take advantage of him? I was going to fucking kill her.

A smirk appeared on her face. Her face was full of the arrogance of a peacock. This pushed me to the limit and I lunged at her. Before I could even catch her, she disappeared, leaving smoke. I ended up falling into the ground. So she was the spirit? What the fuck would a spirit want from a human? She was a freak and I was going to get her no matter what.

I glanced back at Ryan and ran to his aid.

"Wake up, Ryan." I shook his body to try to wake him up. What the fuck do humans do to wake up someone? Should I slap him? No, that would be too harsh.

"Aha!" I knew I was smart. I would do the thing that humans do when a person faints- push the chest and breathe into their mouth. I think they called it CPS. No, CPF. Ah! Never mind the name. At least, I knew what to do.

I placed my hands on his chest and pushed it to wake him up. I tried that for five times but he was still not waking up. I pushed my hair behind and placed my ear near his nose to hear if he was breathing or not. Some breaths were coming so that meant he was still alive. Should I mouth to mouth? Maybe that might wake him up.

I frowned and stared at his face. Mouth to mouth was just like kissing. Wouldn't that violate him? All these questions were making me go crazy. Here goes nothing Val, It was just mouth on mouth. It was not a kiss, but a resuscitation. I reassured myself.

I pinched his lips open and leaned down to place my mouth on his.

"What the fuck are you doing?!" Before I could place my mouth on him, a gravelly voice that deemed familiar yelled out. I turned to see that it was David. His eyes narrowed to slits. He looked confused and mad at the same time. Oh no no! That was not what it looked like!

"Okay, relax. I did not do anything. I just heard someone yelling and I found him on the floor." I knew that I lied, but it was for their benefit. Besides, if I told him that a spirit attacked him, then he would not believe me. He would think that I was a crazy woman.

He unclenched his fists and scooted closer to Ryan. "Then why the fuck were you leaning on him?"

I gave a half shrug. "I was giving him mouth to mouth after CPS would not work."

His neck turned so fast. "Mouth to mouth?! Are you crazy?! He just fainted. You use that for when a person drowns to help them breath." He blabbered, throwing his arms around.

"Oh. Well, I did not know that and do you have to call me crazy? Let me tell you something, boy. I am perfectly sane." I crossed my arms on my chest and glared at this prick.

He raised his chin. "If you were perfectly normal, then you would have taken him to the nurse room." He lifted Ryan off the ground and placed one of his hand over his shoulder.

"What the fuck is the nurse room?" I frowned.

His jaw dropped. He looked like he heard the most unbelievable thing. "Don't you know what a nurse room is? It is for the Nurse where students' health get checked."

I never heard of that word in my entire life, but I could not let him know that. He was already getting suspicious of me. His thoughts were already going another direction.

Where the fuck is she from? Who in the world does not know a nurse room?

"Sorry. I was homeschooled so I never knew schools had something like that." I smiled to reassure him. Good call, Val. I mentally patted myself.

"Ah. That's why. Well, you know now. Now, can you help me? We need to take him out of here."

"Oh yes. Sure."

"And oh, by the way, It is called CPR." He chuckled.

So that was what it was called. This was fucking embarrassing. Can someone get me out of here?!

"He is okay. Nothing major to worry about. It seems that he fainted from shock." She observed. We were in the nurse room, which was just a small room that smelled like a hospital. It seemed like a mini version of a hospital. At least, to me. So this was what he meant by a nurse room. The lady who I suppose was the nurse, checked on Ryan using some kind of strange equipment. She placed two ends in both of her ears and another end on his heart. That actually looked really cool!

"So, did something happen to him?" She glanced at us. Nothing ma'am. He was just attacked by a woman who was a spirit. Oh, and she was naked. See how that sounded insane? That was the reason why I could not tell them. Humans were not supposed to know about us. To them, we were fantasies- not real and fantasies we would remain.

David shrugged and placed his hands in his pockets. "I don't know what happened. She found him on the restroom, lying like that."

"Hmm...well, something must have happened. Anyways, you guys must be late to your second class. Do you guys need a slip?

"That would be great, but shouldn't someone stay with him?" He frowned.

"I can stay! Hem...I mean, I can stay since I have no class in the next period." I forced a smile. Since I was a junior, and my fake credits that Mike forged were on point, I had only five classes. I could not let my eyes off Ryan. The spirit would not attack him for no reason. Something was off and I needed to find out. Maybe that could lead me to Aphrodite.

"Normally, I would not allow that, but I have math class and I cannot afford to fail that class."

What a jerk! This boy was getting on my nerves.

"Don't worry. He is safe in my hand." I grinned and fluttered my eyelashes at him. His jaws clenched and I was enjoying it. Ha! Take that, prick!

The nurse clapped her hands together. "Okay then. Off to class, David and here is your slip." She gave him a small piece of pink paper.

"Thank you, Nurse." He gave a half-smile before he smirked at me and left the room.

What a fucker

Her mouth turned into a smile. "Well, I would be leaving for a moment. Just sit down on that chair and wait for him to wake up."

I grinned. "Sure! I will wait here."

Then she walked out of the door, leaving me alone with Ryan. I took in the sight of him. He did not have any scratch on him so that meant that I came on the right time before she could harm him.

I still needed to figure out the reason behind her appearance. Spirits were everywhere, but they never encountered humans. They just stayed in their own corners, doing nothing. There were two types of spirits- the evil and the good one. No doubt she was an evil one. Even if she was an evil spirit, there would be no reason for her to attack Ryan because spirits do not have memories. All their memories got erased after death. So what the reason for her attack?

And the most important thing, how was Ryan able to see her?

"Ah, you stupid girl. You don't understand, don't you?" A dark humorous voice chuckled. No doubt belong to one and only.

"Well, hello to you too...Kamala." I turned around and smirked at the young lady who was a carbon copy of me.
