*sigh*
(Its itching again….)
Acedia was scratching her forearm under her uniform’s sleeves, right where the cut scars were.
-…ood? Miss Darkwood?
Acedia turned to face the teacher talking to her.
-Please continue reading from the last paragraph.
-I haven’t even opened my book…
Her classmates laughed.
-Yes well, you seem to prefer daydreaming to attending my class, get out and clear your head.
The long-haired redhead stood up and left the classroom, up the stairs to the last hallway. There she sat on the stairs leading to the rooftop. Her little hands up on her face as she let the tears run wild…
-I don’t like Miss Evans.
-She sucks, picking on me of all the others in there…
-Can’t she see when a girl is busy with her mind?
-She has no touch, she’s a m…
Acedia looked up, realizing she wasn’t talking with her thoughts but with someone else. A very handsome man was standing in front of her, white short hair, elegantly dressed, with a body of someone who cares about his appearance, and the manners of a gentleman.
-Who are you?
-Sorry for meddling in your thoughts Lady Darkwood, please excuse my rudeness.
The man said, ignoring her question, lending her a helping hand to get up. Taking her hand, he brought her up on her feet with true gentleman manners. He then bowed in such a sophisticated way that she thought the man might as well be royalty.
-Who are you?
-I am your very own personal demon.
The man answered, still bowing, and then kissed her hand.
Acedia immediately jumped back, she was afraid of this man who was acting so closely to her, and was quite older too… And did he just say he was a demon?
-Look mister, get away from me.
She said, turned around and walked down the stairs. She was right in front of her classroom door when she turned around and saw him standing right beneath her.
-Stop following me!
She entered the room.
-Miss Darkwood, are you ready to attend to my class now?
-Yes Miss Evans.
Acedia made her way back to her desk. She tried paying attention for the rest of the class but was too distracted by what just happened.
It wasn’t long until a classmate of hers got back from her restroom break, and the whisper talking started, about a handsome older man standing outside the classroom.
Acedia pulled out her phone, only a couple minutes before break.
(Please be gone, please be gone, please be gone…)
-That will be all for today, I will upload the homework later. Have a nice day.
Everyone stood up and left the room. Acedia looked to the hallway, the man was gone and she sighed with relief.
-Lady Darkwood, I have brought some coffee for you.
The man said behind her, with a can of cold coffee from the vending machine on his hand.
Acedia turned around, grabbed the coffee and threw it at the man, who with inhuman reflexes grabbed it mid-air.
-And who might you be mister?
It was Maribelle asking the man, the gossip girl of the school, just what Acedia needed…
The man turned to face the younger girl, black short hair, round glasses and a bitchy attitude.
-Greetings, I am Lady Darkwood´s servant. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
He answered with an elegant bow.
Everyone bursted into curiousness, everyone looking at Acedia. The poor girl ran away, skipping school for the rest of the day…
