Chapter 2

1529 Words
I sit on the bed. I’ve been there for the past hour, thinking of my life while I stare at my car keys and my backpack. I’m already dressing up for school and Ella planned to go with me in my car since hers broke down a few days ago. But I told her, I wasn’t planning to go yet, I have things to do at home before I leave for school. And you know that was a lie I told there right? Sigh. I will be fine, I tell myself. They won’t hurt me I am their mate. But deep down some parts of me are proving me wrong. They are the Quads Alphas and I know who they are. I’m going, I can’t let them scare me away from school. I have to go to school to complete my studies and fulfil my and my dad’s dreams. Our dreams. I pull up to the school parking lot. I see one of their cars in front of me where I am stopping my car. It was Tyson’s car and I don’t see Ryan’s car or Darius and Daniel’s car anywhere close. It was Monday and it means the week is going to be long for me. Properly the longest week I have ever seen in my life. My window is blacked out, I get to see people from the inside. They can’t see me but they can recognize my car, that’s for sure. Elena Deloris has the only pink car in school. And now that I feel guilty a little, I hate the fact that my car can easily be singled out, out of thousands of cars. I see Ryan’s and the other two brothers' car from the other side when I turn my head to the left. I’m still inside my car gripping tightly on my steering wheel. I see the four of them standing together. They don’t only have the same facial similarities they also have the same standing posture. They are wearing the same outfit the same colour, looking as intimidating as they’ve always been. I’m not scared of them. I know what I did to Ryan was my right, he has been the one bullying me. What bad did I do for paying back? I wanted to be that soft flower who can’t always stay quiet and let her be pushed around. I’m the soft flower that fights back. I don’t think I was wrong at what I did, even for trying to ruin Ryan’s life, because that bastard deserves it. The four of them are standing together, they are known as the arrogant Quads Alphas. Tyson has the cheerleader in between his legs with two hands grabbing on her ass. She’s smiling, she loves it. She likes popularity so she gets to be around them, with her body as a pay for their popularity service. Girls crowd them like ants crowding sugar. One is sitting on Ryan’s lap while he sits at the back of his car. He is crawling his hands up her hips. Fear sets in my bones like an arrow shooting into me. I take my eyes off their direction. I’m not out of the car yet but I know they are waiting for me to come out. They are all looking in the direction of my car. I hold my steering wheel, releasing my hands from it steadily. “ I can do this. You can do this Elena.” I’m drawing in a long breath as I say. The fact I was running away before, because of what I did to one of them or because I found out I’m their mate, only weakens my confidence because they are so going to destroy me. Elena would be fine, I have been strong since junior school and I have pulled through despite the blaze Ryan set around me. I can survive this if I survived then. I tell myself, summoning the courage to get out of my car. Everyone thinks I try to ruin Ryan’s life by now. Since he kind of found out I was the one who did it to him, then the news must have spread and soon I become the talk of the school. That’s why they all suddenly went quiet looking in my direction as I step out of my ride. I’m having difficulty in breathing. My chest feels tighter than ever before. My palm is sweating and maybe soon it would start dripping water. I hear some chuckles come from the girls as they stare at me. My legs don’t lose my balance yet, I’m trying the best I can to start upright and not collapse with my heels. They are gossiping about me but I don’t bother about that. What I’m worried about now is the kind of stares I’m getting from the Quads. They don’t say anything yet, they just stare at me. Trust me, it’s intimidating and I’m praying for the ground to swallow me up, but it’s not opening. The bone in my legs is shaking, making me almost trip off my very own feet. I’m wearing sunglasses over my eyes means they can’t see the fears or tension in my eyes. I can only see their faces, but the moment Ryan took his shades off I stumble backwards at the coldness emitting from his blue eyes. They send shivers down my spine. I’m gulping more saliva down my throat, but I still feel it bone dry. Nervousness. He has never looked at me like that before. I mean he has always hated me, but I have never seen it this very much in his eyes before. His brother's eyes almost say the same, I can interpret it. I never read eyes before but now I can, it says “Welcome home, Elena.” God, they are going to kill me. It’s all that rings in my head right now. My eyes sway from Ryan’s I don’t know how, but then it lands on Tyson’s. I didn’t tell you their surnames yet. It’s ‘French' the fierceness from their surname sticks with them too. Tyson has some drugs in his hands and he is inhaling them. I’m not surprised, typical of Tyson. That is who he is, he gets high to stay alright if not he might lose it. He isn’t holding any girl but his green eyes are smirking at me devilishly. His smile is rising in knots in my stomach. The eyes are telling me, since I’m their mate I belong to them, and I cannot escape it. It makes me want to puke as I continue to read his smiles and his eyes. Darius is another devil from a different planet. His dark brown eyes ain’t paying much attention to me, but there’s something huge and dangerous up for me there in his mind. For god sake, I’m their f*****g mate who gives them the access to teach me a very big lesson, for trying to ruin his twin's brother’s life. Now I’m regretting my actions and thoughts for trying to pay back, knowing fully well that luck has never been on my side. Whoever becomes their mate is very unlucky and shouldn’t have been brought to this life. And that person is me. I haven’t realized how much I have been unlucky until this day. My eyes find Daniel. He still has Jane Mark in between his legs rolling his hands on her hips. He smiles and raises two fingers at me as if he knows I’m staring right at him. My legs cripple in fear, it’s a little cold but I’m sweating, I try to fight It out. I won’t show it, I don’t want them to know I am scared. “ Elena!” God, I sigh. It’s as if God is sending her to my rescue because my foot refuses to leave the spot I’m standing at. “ Ava, thank goodness you are here.” I breathe out heavily as if I want to cry. If I do, I cry for relief from this killing tension. She’s dragging me away from my car because she knows I can’t move since I’m staring at the guys. She doesn’t say anything, she just walks us out of their presence. And she’s heading, exactly where in my mind I want to be right now is the lady's bathroom. Ava took me inside and lock the door immediately. It is not safe to leave it open, anything can happen now that I am in their territory. “Ava!” I scream, hugging her as I let out the cry that has been pressing down in my throat ever since I was staring at them. “ Elena, you will be fine. I know you are strong.” she pats my back. She’s always been good at boosting my confidence. I pull out from the hug, grabbing some tissues to clear my nose. We hear the first bell of our class and instantly stare at each and she says, “ Don’t worry. I’m still by your side, we have a class together.” I let out a sigh of relief.
