After E.C. Was my actual free period, Looking at my schedule I had E.L.A., Language arts. I had to ask Tariyona about where the classroom was and it ended up that they were going to the same class. Upon entering, Enzo wrapped his arm around my shoulders and dragged me to the seat next to him, towards the front of the class while almost all the girls were staring at us.
"You are the only girl in here who is not losing their mind over me right now" he whispered.
"Humble are we?" I asked smirking.
"Oh shut your mouth Elorah, you're not very humble yourself" he says.
"you know, when I first met you I thought you were annoying and stupid" I said knowing exactly what he's going to reply with.
"And now?" He asked. Bingo.
"oh, I still think you're annoying and stupid" I laughed when I saw his face.

After that class was magical objects, then lunch. Enzo and I were walking to class when someone grabbed my shoulder, I flinched and turned to see Mateo.
"Elorah what-" Mateo was cut off by Enzo greeting him, the rest of the boys meet with us and they start walking to class laughing with each other. I was trying to talk to Carder but I could feel Mateo's burning eyes on my back, I hope he doesn't bring it up.

In class like all the other classes the desks were divided into two groups, one being the left wing side, and one being the right wing side. We sit down Mateo sitting on my side and Sam on the other Carder, Enzo, sitting in front of us, and Jack, and Hugo, sitting behind us.
"My mother is amazing she is so generous and kind, and best of all she respects my boundaries" Sam says to them.
"I hate my mother" Mateo said.
"We know, my mom is so boring she doesn't even let me smoke outside" Enzo said sourly. I was zoned out in my thoughts when Carder said my name.
"I'm sorry what?" I asked him.
"I asked you if you like your mother" he clarified.
"That's a weird question" I chuckled, I trust them enough and lots of people have dead moms.
"Not if you had been actually been listening, just answer the question" Enzo said rudely. I rolled my eyes.
"Well I wouldn't know" I said, Sam looked at me slightly concerned. He knew about my mother's death, but he probably didn't think I was going to tell anyone, but screw you Samuel, I am going to do whatever I want.
"That makes no sense" Enzo said rudely.
"She's dead" I said harshly. The boys hushed.
"Oh grow up, it's not that big of a deal" I say crossing my arms leading back on her chair and putting my feet on the desk. They all just stared at her still.
"How?" Carder asked as the professor came in, she was tall skinny with dark brown hair, she looked fairly young and her loud heals made her look taller. There was something about her that was off.
"Giving birth to me actually" I explain chuckling darkly. Yah guys I killed my own mother, is what I wanted to say.
"So she popped you out, realized that you were ugly, and said see you later?" Carder asked laughing. I had to take in that joke for a moment no one had ever joked about my mother's death.
"CARDER!!!" The boys yelled, but I laughed, it was actually funny.
"She said, this is not what I ordered!" I joked between laughter, and at this point everyone was laughing.
"You shouldn't joke about your mother's death, it's disrespectful" says the professor in an annoyingly over sweet voice. I stopped laughing and turned my head to the professor.
"what are you going to do about it? Tell my mom? Go ahead she's listening." I paused for a second looking up.
"... she said shut up" I spat locking eyes with the professor. The Professor didn't know what to say but the whole class was laughing.
"Young lady I do not tolerate that kind of behavior in my classroom" she says with a ruler in her hand.
"Oh my bad, but last I checked this is not your classroom" I say.
"It's the academy classroom you're just borrowing it" Mateo backs me up.
"Ok what are your two's names? So I can write them down for a maybe detention" she says, this lady is an idiot.
"I'm laughing he's smiling" Ellie says smirking.
"Ha ha you're joking right?" The professor asked looking annoyed.
"No that's my brother" Mateo points to Hugo smirking. The whole class was laughing so hard the professor couldn't get them to calm down for a whole five minutes.
"Ok I would like to see you two after class" the professor said calmly.
"Ok also my name is Elorah and his is Mateo, if you want to know that badly" I shrugged.
"Alright thank you, let's start class. I'm professor DeckWood, and as you already know we will be learning about magical objects" she says.
The rest of the class was her just going over what magical objects were, it was a little interesting but mostly fucking boring. Basically an object is magical if someone long ago enchanted it. Long ago the magical blooded could do magic but when people started inventing things it was simpler to use the inventions. After a while parents stopped using and teaching magic, so it disappeared. But there were still probably billions of magically enchanted objects because magic never wears out. So technically my mom didn't enchant the wrist cuff, someone gave it to her.

"We can wait if you want?" Sam asked getting ready to leave for lunch.
"No, just go to lunch" Mateo said sitting on the deck.
"Yah we'll be fine, see you guys later" I say sitting next to Mateo.
"Ok see you later" Sam says and the rest of them say they're good byes. Once the last person went out the door the professor called them over to her desk.
"I really hope that today is not an example of the rest of the year" she says disappointed.
"Maybe not, but I can't make any promises" I shrug.
"I mean we have to make your class somewhat interesting"
"Right, your class is so boring we can't help it" Mateo says smirking.
"Also could you stay out of my business, if I want to joke about my mom I can, because she's my mom and it is not effecting you in any way" I say getting it clear.
"So I understand that neither of you have had my class before, and I think you Ms Quinn didn't even go to this academy am I correct?" She asked and I nodded.
"Ok then maybe you don't know how my class works, but don't worry I'll show you" she had fire in her eyes, as she grabbed a ruler.
"One hand on the desk please, and roll up your sleeve" she demanded kindly. Both of us did as we were told, I was getting nervous about what she was going to do.
"Perfect now who first?" She asked her eyes darkened.
"Me" Mateo and I say at the same time. Mateo looked at me annoyed and concerned. I rolled my eyes.
"Fine" DeckWood said, she raised her ruler and slapped Mateo on the arm, he winced but kept a angry expression. she hit him again, and again, and again, she tried to hit him again but I quickly put my hand where she was going to hit, so it hit my hand instead of his red and bruised arm. I didn't want to sit there while this bitch was hitting him, I realized that there was a little blood on my hand from Mateo's arm.
"Oh I see, you're protecting your friend, how noble, but you will regret that" DeckWood replied looking like she enjoyed hurting them. She probably did. DeckWood grabbed my wrist and hit my arm with the ruler, it stung but it was nothing compared to... other things. I didn't even flinch, I just kept a death stare on the teacher while she hit, and hit, and hit my arm until it was bleeding and bruised.
"Ok ok STOP! STOP!" Mateo yelled in defeat, and he wasn't even the one getting hurt.
"Well it looks like you two have had enough" she says grabbing a medical bandage.
"Now this is our little secret ok?" She asks wrapping my arm. They both nodded as she moved on to Mateo's arm working gently and softly. If they didn't keep this a secret who knows what she might do.
"I will see you both in class tomorrow" she says sitting at her desk. As soon as they were out of the classroom I let out a loud sigh.
"WHAT THE HELL ELLIE!! Why did you do that! I was fine, you shouldn't have done that!" Mateo yelled at me and I flinched a little. The combination of the yelling and the painful surge in my arm reawakens some awful memories. I closed my eyes as her brain spun out with the worst parts of my life.
"Elorah?" Mateo softly asked touching my shoulder. I absolutely flipped out,
"Don't touch me!" Ellie yelled and smacked his hand away hard. I took one last look at his face before storming away.
