~Angel's POV~

Today was the day we went back to school. Irene knows that I don't want anything bad to happen this time. I changed into my school uniform and combed through my long blonde hair. I decided that I was going to put it into a ponytail on the top of my head. We had PE today, and I was going to get to pick what shirt color I got. I heard there was a sky blue one and I thought that would be PERFECT! Ahem... excuse me. I also figured out that there was a midnight blue one, so if all the sky blue ones were taken, hopefully they aren't, I would go with that color. I walked down stairs, and grabbed a quick pop-tart out of the cupboard. We needed to buy groceries soon. We were running low on snacks for Levin and me. I ran outside and I grabbed my sky blue tennis shoes and my midnight blue school bag on the way. I slipped my shoes on outside, and no one on the bus saw me do that. I sat by Matilda today, and we started talking about songs we could do. I was in the middle of singing along with the radio when I felt a sudden weight on my head. I looked up and saw Laurence. His arms were resting on my head, and he had a smirk on his face. Garroth was sitting next to him, behind Matilda, and was trying to hold back a laugh. I looked him in the eyes, and he looked at me to. He laughed, I rolled my eyes, and shook my head fiercely, to get Laurence's arms off of my head. His arms slipped off, but he instantly grabbed my ponytail as he fell back into his seat. Garroth and Laurence laughed once Laurence let go, and I rubbed my head. Matilda just glared at them.

"What?" Laurence asked, looking at her.

"Would you do that to Cadenza?" Matilda asked, her eyes blazing.

"N...no..." Laurence said, hesitating a bit.

"Then why would yo--" She started, but I quickly cut her off.

"Matilda! It's okay! He was only messing around. Levin does it all the time. Plus it didn't hurt as bad as Levin does it." I said, before giggling.

"HEY! I CAN DO IT HARDER!" Laurence yelled, suddenly offended. I just continued laughing.

"Laurence... you just got burned. You can't deny it." Garroth said, laughing.

"It's more like he got rekt, Garroth." Aphmau said, sitting down across from me and Matilda.

"Yup!" Cadenza said. She was sitting behind Aphmau, and she had her headphones plugged into her phone.

"I KNOW I DID! Angel, I thought we were singing buddies!" Laurence said, flipping my ponytail to the front of my face, and he pretended to be hurt by it. I blew some hair to get it out of my face, but when that didn't work, I moved it carefully back to behind my head. Laurence smerked again, and swatted back to the front of my face. We did that for the rest of the bus ride, but I quickly got annoyed by it. Aphmau and I went to homeroom, and that's where I got the news.

"Angel? What are you doing here? You've been moved up with the older kids, didn't you hear?" The teacher said, grabbing my arm and dragging me out into the hallway. He then instructed me which classroom was my new home room, and handed me my new schedule. He then slammed the door in my face, and I just stood there, eyes wide. Then slowly turned towards the way I was, apparently, supposed to go. I reached the room just as the bell rang and I sighed. I saw Laurence, Katelyn, and Garroth come out of the door. Katelyn was the only one who noticed me, and squealed. She ran and hugged me.

"Angel! I hear you're in all of the same classes as me now!" She said, and my eyes were wide with surprise. Garroth and Laurence looked at me in the eyes, and they were as surprised as I was. Katelyn, Garroth, Laurence, and I all had choir together. We had 2 classes and lunch before we had choir, so Katelyn and I walked to our next class.

*~*Time skip to choir*~*

I was placed between Katelyn and a girl named Lucinda. I just sitting there quietly looking around. Then the teacher walked in, and I gave her my full attention.

"Okay class, settle down. Today I am assigning partners for a sing off." The teacher said excitedly. Laurence and I looked at each other with smite written all over our faces. Another singing contest! Great! The teacher turned to the whiteboard in the class, and started writing names down. I looked to my left and saw Ivy intently staring at the white board.

"Partners, get together, and I'll call the band up to the stage." The teacher said, walking backstage. The band came out, and started tuning. Lucinda, Katelyn, and I walked up the the white board. 

"I'm with Lucinda!?" Katelyn complained, not caring that she was right there!

"You do realize that i'm right next to you, right?" Lucinda said, looking at her in the eyes.

"Yeah, but let's just find a song and get it over with." Katelyn replied, walking off with Lucinda. I looked at the list and saw I was paired with Laurence.

"Looks like it's you and me again, Angel." Laurence said, coming up behind me.

"What's with scaring me today!?" I whined, looking at him. He just shrugged and I instantly got to work to find a song. We went out into the hall one group at a time, and silently practiced the lyrics.

*~*Time for the contest*~*

"Laurence and Angel." The teacher said and we walked out. I had told the band ahead of time what song we were doing, so we were ready to go. Laurence and I started at the back of the auditorium, and the band started playing.

I started singing and then Laurence joined in. On the lines 'Oh, the jokes on you.' I stopped and glared at Ivy then continued singing the rest of the lines. Laurence and I met in front of the stage. And we finished off the song, everyone clapped. I was breathing heavy, and my face looked relieved. I was happy the song was over, but the day was quickly over, except for at PE. I was walking with Laurence and Garroth. Katelyn was walking with Jeffrey across the gym. I still wasn't allowed to run, but that was okay, I wasn't good at running anyways. I saw the SK, Ivy, and her friends talking in a group quite a few feet away from us. I moved to the side lines when they were told to start running. Laurence, Garroth, and Jeffrey had ended up next to each other, and all three of them just took off. Katelyn and I just laughed, and Katelyn sprinted to catch up with them. Soon it turned into a race on which four were faster. Laurence and Katelyn ended up in a tie for first, Garroth and Jeffrey ended in a tie for second. 

"I'll bet you next time, Katelyn." Jeffrey said in a teasing way.

"In your dreams,Jeffrey." Katelyn replied, looking at him.

"Okay, let's end this now before this little friendly competition turns into a mini war." I said, jumping off the bleachers, and I started walking towards them, laughing.

"Fine." they said, rolling their eyes, and I laughed.

"What are we doing today, coach?" Laurence asked, turning towards the PE teacher.

"Fencing." he replied, loud enough for the whole class to hear. I looked confused at first, then I remembered what fencing was.

"Oh my Irene, why?" I muttered, looking at the ground nervously.

"What's wrong Angel?" Jeffrey asked, looking at me.

"I don't think I've ever done fencing... at that, picked up a sword." I answered, looking at each of them in the eyes.

"Oh..." They said, as the PE teacher assigned partners, or may I say, the person we were versing. I... was with Ivy.

*This happens at the same time*

"Wait! Do I have to be with that evil loser that's not supposed to be here!?" Ivy yelled.

"Hold up! Why do I have to be with the biggest bully in the whole school!?" I yelled.

*this is right after*

Ivy, the SK, and Ivy's friends all gave me death glares, but I didn't care. All the other boys, except for Laurence, Garroth, and Jeffrey, gave me the 'This girl is a cute firecracker...' look, but Garroth and Laurence gave Ivy the 'You just got owned, so you just need to deal with it.' look, which I didn't mind. I just didn't want them to give me that 'Damn that's hot!' look, that a lot of boys gave me, back in Scaleswind prep, when I snapped back at a teacher or a student. Jeffrey just gave me the 'Why in Irene's name are you complaining? I GOT STUCK WITH ZENIX!' look.

"Well... that was unexpected of you, Angel... but... sure... you two have to work together. It's the best way for you two to get all of your anger out... it seems..." The PE teacher said, surprised at my reaction. I looked at Katelyn, who had been paired with Sasha, gave me a look of sympathy. 

'AT LEAST SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS!' I thought as everyone else went to a fencing mat, but Ivy and I just glared at each other before heading over to the last fencing mat. We got our gear, except for the helmet, and got on the mat.

"You had better be a pro at this, or I'm gonna feel underwhelmed. I normally get paired with another pro, like Laurence or Garroth." Ivy said, looking at her nails. I just rolled my eyes, and grabbed my fencing sword at the same time she did. I didn't know why, but I didn't like the feel of the metal bar around the handle, so I gently removed it, and set it gently down by the mat.

"What in Irene's name are you doing?" Ivy asked, smite written all over her face.

"Making it feel more comfortable for me." I answered, not holding back from the truth.

"Whatever..." She said, as we got into our positions. We started, and soon everyone stopped and looked at us. No one was normally able to keep up with Ivy, not even Garroth and Laurence were able to. But here, right before their eyes, a girl, who thought she never picked up a sword before, was in a fencing match with equal abilities. I made a quick slash at her, and she dodged. She dropped her sword, and Sasha handed her a real one. Katelyn saw this, and ran to find one for me. She started looking, and pulled out a ruby one as Ivy started to advance on me. I dropped the fencing sword, and Katelyn, at a reasonable distance, tossed the sword to me, and I caught the handle. Ivy narrowed her eyes at me, and started to advance. I heard some of the band practicing on the extra stage in the gym (It's the design of my high school... don't ask...). Ivy and Sasha started singing and I took a step back.

Everyone was looking at me, but I was focused on Ivy, who was quickly advancing. My ponytail came undone, and my hair fell messily around my shoulders. I saw Sasha had a sword, and joined in. Katelyn, again, saw this act, and she joined me with what looked like some sort of claw weapon. Ivy and Sasha attacked, and Katelyn and I blocked it. Soon the members of the SK joined in. Gene and Zenix pulled out a sword, and flanked Ivy and Sasha. Jeffrey, Garroth, and Laurence soon joined us. Jeffrey pulled out a glaive while Garroth and Laurence both pulled out swords. I suddenly stopped fighting.

"Why are we fighting like this? We could just talk this out in a calm manner instead of almost KILLING EACH OTHER!" I yelled, suddenly looking at Ivy, and everyone stopped.

"Okay, class, gym is over! Go do whatever you kids to do!" The PE teacher said, suddenly running over.

'Thank Irene...' I muttered, putting the sword back and walking outside. I sat under a tree dwelling on what had just happened in PE. It was strange... why would I be paired up with the worst girl in the school? I looked up and saw that there was a branch low enough for me to climb. I stood up, grabbed it with both hands,  jumped still holding onto the branch for support, and pulled myself up. I then quickly jumped from branch to branch. I heard a door open, and I could clearly see about 4 students walking out of the building, walking towards where I was. I was hidden skillfully from their view, but not from underneath the tree. I sat down on one of the highest branches, and leaned my head against the tree, staring at nothing in particular as the students came closer to my hiding spot...

*~*A/N: THE FLIPPING CHAPTER ITSELF WAS A LITTLE BIT OVER 2200 WORDS! THIS HAS TO BE THE LONGEST CHAPTER I HAVE EVER WRITTEN! PS: Tomorrow (May 12th, 2016) I have a Softball game, and will not be on Wattpad for a few hours. Also, my mom is getting eye surgery to fix her lazy eye because her prescription glasses aren't fixing it lately. So she is going to Omaha for at least 3 days, so I'll be home with my two brothers, one older and one younger. So I will possibly do the live stream then, or I might not do a live stream. I don't know yet. I might not be able to. I'm also upset because, the three days both of my parents are leaving, are the next 3 days (May 12th-15th, 2016; I believe.) So my BFF, who doesn't like MCD (Shocker I know) is taking me to the game, and she won't allow me to talk about Aphmoo on the way to and from the game. So yeah...*~*
