VERITY'S POV ~_______~_______~

It was finally lunchtime. The day had gone by slow as hell. I started to text my old friends , who I completely forgot about for a day or two - Derek and Miya. I actually haven't talked to them since the first day I came here, when they called me and stuff.

We texted the entire class, and I told them everything. By that, I mean everything. I mean Grey eye Dude, my brothers, the hospital, arguments, they know every single detail from start to finish.

I also found out they would be moving to Italy next week. I protested, I didn't want them to change their entire lifestyle for me but they shut me up and said they needed to come for a mission anyways.

Derek and Miya weren't involved directly in the mafia, but they were assassins. I actually used to be one, I was the best assassin in the world. People called me 'Heaven'. I don't even know why, I'm ending up in hell anyways.

Dad (Mikael) didn't like the fact that I was involved with that stuff. So, I went AWOL a few months ago after he finally convinced me. Heaven just disappeared, off the face of the planet. I'm not gonna lie, I missed it a shit ton.

Derek and Miya continued though. Occasionally I helped them with missions that were difficult, but they didn't need it much. They were also well known- Derek was Ares and Miya was Jewel. I don't know where they got those names, don't ask me.

Anyways, as I entered the lunch room, I scanned the room. My eyes set on a table where Angel, Lilli, and Mark were sitting. Angel waved me over so I happily obliged.

"Hey guys." I said as I sat down. I've started to talk a lot more at school, I've noticed. I'm getting comfortable with them, which scares me almost but whatever.

I noticed Lilli was laughing hysterically about something and Mark was glaring at her.

I raised a questioning brow to Angel, who was stifling a laugh.

"Mark- HAH- Mark was shipped with your brother, Lorenzo- in front of the entire class- it was so funny!" Lilli choked out.

Mark's face was as red as a tomato. "Shut up." He whined, burying his face in his hands.

"Hey, I can kind of see it happening." I laughed.

"Actually.. You should set them up." Angel smirked mischievously.

Mark perked up at this. He had a disapproving look on his face, but his eyes held hope and he didn't deny the idea.

"Maybe later this week. Me and most of my family aren't on good terms- well, I don't really know." I frowned. Lorenzo and his twin, plus mom have been avoiding me constantly.

"Are you okay?" Lilli asked worriedly. I nodded slightly.

I suddenly felt someone's gaze on me. I looked around the cafeteria until my eyes landed on some particular grey ones. When we held eye contact, he didn't look away until I tore my eyes away.

"What was that?" Lilly asked smugly.

"What?"

"That little stare-down with Nicolas friggin Ricci! And not to mention you sat in his seat yesterday, and he didn't say anything!!"

I just shrugged.

"Stay away from him, he's the schools player. Other than your brother, Matteo. And, well.." Angel lowered his voice a bit and leaned more in the table. "There's rumors that he's in the mafia."

Oh really?

"Guys, there's nothing with me and Nicolas friggin Ricci. He's just a pest is all."

They nodded but didn't look convinced. The conversation was normal from then on, until three random girls came up to our table.

They looked like burnt Barbie dolls. Their blonde hair looked so dead, it was like they straightened it on the highest heat over and over again every day. It didn't even look like natural blonde. The makeup that caked their face was horribly off shade. Their crop tops looked like something I would wear as a bra , and the mini skirts would just be considered small pieces of cloth.

"Hi Angel baby." One of the girls said, sitting on his lap.

Angel grimaced, his face showing obvious disgust and discomfort. "Get off me Barbara." He tried to shove her off, but she latched on like a leech.

"You're so funny babe, my name is Britney!" She giggled. Her voice sounded like nails scratching a black board.

Of course her name is Brittany. Now , don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against Britanys. But this is cliché as fuck, don't ya think?

"We fucked once last month. Get over it. It was a one time thing, please get off." Angel said, his voice lined with obvious discomfort and his face wrenched up in disgust.

"But babyyyy.." she groaned, tracing his arm.

"He said to get off, what don't you understand, woman?" I grumbled.

"And who's this slut?!" The Barbie screeched. Wtf.

"I'm Verity." I said.

"Well, Verity , I'm Brittany and as far as I know this-" she pointed between her and Angel- "Is none of your business." She snapped at me.

"Well , Bitchney, you obviously don't know boundaries and personal space. Clearly you're making him uncomfortable, so get up before I drag you off."

Well, where's this newfound confidence coming from? I thought. Maybe from my brothers? Fun.

As I was thinking, I zoned out. Then I felt a stinging sensation on my cheek. I looked up to see a fuming Bitchney standing in front of me, clearly pissed about something.

I stood up and calmly walked towards her as she walked backwards. I stopped inches from her face.

"That wasn't a good idea, Bitchney." I said, my voice sounding cool and collected.

I clenched my fist, and in a swift movement, Bitchney was sat on the floor- holding her now bleeding and crooked nose with an angry yet terrified expression.

"My family is very close to the Moretti's!! Do you know who they are?! You will be expelled, hear me?! Expelled!!" She screeched, running out the cafeteria. Her two goons followed close behind her.

I chuckled. Does she not know who I am?

"Well, might as well head to the principals office now. See you guys later," I mumbled to my friends and slung my backpack over my shoulder, avoiding the stares from everybody in the now quiet cafeteria.

"Wait, I'll come with." Angel said, standing up and slinging his arm around my shoulder.

"Me too." Mark said cheerily, ruffling my hair as he grabbed his bag.

"Me three!!!" Lilli squealed and jumped on Mark's back, to which he reluctantly gave her a piggy back ride.

I snorted and appreciated my friends not letting me do the walk of shame alone as we walked out the cafeteria. I caught a glimpse of my brothers looking shocked, and a grey eyed boy looking quite amused before he looked like he realized something and stormed out the cafeteria before us.

Weirdo.

As we made our way to the principals office, Angel spoke up.

"Why'd you do that? I mean, I appreciate it- thank you- but you didn't have to. You'd get unnecessary attention now, and you hate that. Plus you're going to get in trouble." He frowned at me.

"First off, I did it because she was clearly making you uncomfortable and didn't get off you despite the fact that you asked her to repeatedly. That's assault. Second off, I don't care if I get attention, I'll just avoid anybody who gives me it. And third off, I shouldn't get in trouble and if I do it would be a small detention. She was the one assaulting you. She then proceeded to make the first move, hitting me so I had the right to hit her back as self defense. If anything, she is going to get in 10x more trouble than me. If I do get in trouble for it despite all the witnesses and understandable reasoning to fight, the principal would take it back after seeing my last name. Apparently my father has great power over this school." I pointed out simply, my voice blank and void of emotion.

"Thank you Verity. I appreciate it so much," Angel said, smiling.

"No need to thank me. Thank you guys for coming with,"

There was a chorus of 'of course' from my friends, and I smiled weakly.

When we finally got to the principals office, the door slammed opened and a boy walked out. I recognized it to be Storm eyes, the boy who has often been taking over my mind lately. What the hell?

Behind him, the door to the principals office was ajar. Bitchney was sitting across from the principal, who looked done with life. Her two goons were standing behind her.

Pretty boy's grey eyes assessed my expressionless face for a few seconds before he finally teared his gaze from my face and marched off. Me, Lilli, Angel, and Mark gave each other questioning looks.

"Ah, I was just about to call you down. Please, sit, Verity. You three can pull chairs or just stand." Principal Richards said tiredly.

My friends just stood behind me as I sat in the chair, next to Bitchney, who I glared at. She rolled her eyes.

Just as Principal Richards was about to say something, the door bursted open and my sperm donor barged in. I tensed up again, wondering how mad he would be and how badly I'd be punished.

"Now what did my idiot son do, I swear to god if I got pulled out of work because of some stupid shit-"

His gaze fell on me and his eyes widened, "What the fu-" __________________________________ Word count: 1565
