Chapter 9
Nathan POV
I go to Slenderman's study and sit in a chair. "Yeah?" I ask while putting my head on his desk. "You saw Brandy's bruises and burns right?" He asks. "Yeah, how'd she get those?" I ask. "Bullies. Even worse than that could happen, so you'll start attending school with her." He says. My head shoots up from his desk and stare at him. "B-BUT THEN ILL HAVE TO GET GOOD GRADES AND I HATE SCHOOL!" I yell.
"I don't expect you to get good grades, I don't even care, just make sure Brandy doesn't get hurt anymore." He says. "Suppose my blood lust acts up? Then what?" I trie everything to get out of going to school. "Deal with it." He says. "Why do I have to go to school?" I whine. He shoots a tentacle out of his back and it slaps me across the face. "You're the most normal looking one here." He says then leaves the study.
The next day, I arrive at the school around 11:37. I'm late and I don't give a damn. I walk down the hallway and pull my hoodie over my head. "Freak!" I hear a shrill voice and I turn the corner to see Brandy getting pushed against the locker. Another blonde? Really? "I swear I thought that thing would've killed you-" she starts blabbing but stops when she sees me standing down the hall watching her.
I walk towards them but I hear s male voice and a boy with a mixed hair color stops infront of them. "ALEX! Oh hey!" The blonde pushes Brandy and walks up to him. He brushes by her and helps Brandy up. He needs to get his hand off of her. "Alex..." I hear the girl whisper. I stride towards them and grab Brandy's hand and we turn the corner. "Who-" she stops her sentence when she sees me take of my hood.
"Why aren't you in class?" I ask. "Bathroom break." She hangs her head, and I stroke her hair. I have the same classes as you, courtesy of Slendy. Which way?" I ask. She leads me to an algebra class and all eyes turn onto me. "Miss Hall it seems like you found iur new student." The teacher calls to her. She sits in the back of the class and I sit by her. I hear a group of girls giggling and glancing at me every few minutes.
The bell rings after a lond periodically time. I follow Brandy to the next class, which is science and she sits at a table with two girls, and I sit by her. The girls stare at me, and grin. The glass starts and we start mixing up something, I wasn't paying attention. "So where ya from?" One of the girls slides beside me. "Don't worry about it." I say coldly and she giggles like a creep. The girls continue to try to warm up to me but I push them away. "Why don't you talk to her and leave me alone?" I snap. The girls stare at me in amusement and start laughing.
"What's so funny?" I ask. I look at Brandy and she tenses up a bit. "Us?! Talk to that orphan freak?!" The girls cackles. I place my hand on Brandy's lap under the table and she relaxes a little. "Mr. Smith? Do you know the answer?" The teacher calls to me. SLENDY AND HIS STUPID NAMES! "Nope." I reply. "Why weren't you paying attention?" He scolds. "Because I was bored and I didn't feel like paying attention." I shoot back. The whole class gasps and looks at me.
His face turns red from anger. "After class, you stay." He says and continues with the lesson. "Oh so your a bad boy hmm?" One of the girls whisper from across the table. I ignore her and take a nap on the table. I wake up a few minutes before the bell rings. Brandy packs up her things in her backpack. The bell rings and I remain seated. After the class clears out I walk up to the teachers desk. He starts talking about discipline and respect and I'll have detention if I don't follow school conduct. I leave the class and head for the cafeteria.
I sit at a table in the middle of the cafeteria, and as I do all types of girls flock and sit at the table. "So you're Nathan?" One girl says. "You're pretty cute." Another girl says. I sigh from the strong scent of perfume. "Ooh! I'll buy you lunch if you're hungry!" One girl perks up. I scan the cafeteria and see Brandy talking to the guy from earlier, with a bored look on his face. Atta girl.
I walk over to the table and the girls follow me. I sit buy Brandy and her attention turns to the girls who are staring her down coldly. "You guys know Brandy right?" I say. The girls glance at each other. "Yeah! Brandy is like so cool!" One says. "I heard rumors that she would be voted class president!" The girls go on and on about how 'cool' Brandy is. "So you can say she's quite popular?" I ask. "Uh.. TOTALLY!" The girls gush. "Well, nice talking to you, Brandy." The boy walks away and a couple of girls flee to him.
Brandy looks at them in surprise at the lies they're telling and some girls start asking how we know each other. After lunch I follow Brandy to civics and she sits in the back of the class as always. The class starts and I instantly fall asleep. "Mr. Smith!" The teacher calls to me. My head jerks up and the teacher has a stern look on his face. "Will you please introduce yourself to the class?" He ask. "Why? I don't wanna." I say.
One of the jocks pulls me to the front of the class. "I want to go home." He stares at me coldly and glances at Brandy. She tenses up and looks away. "So how do I do this?" I ask the teacher. The girls coo and giggle. "Just say your name." He says. "Nathan Smith." I say and walk back to my desk. The class officially starts and I start drawing pictures of my knife. Oh how im gonna slice bodies with that baby after school.
School ends and the teacher asks me to stay a little so he can fill me in on the class. I leave the campus and start walking home. "NOO! STOP! AHH!" I hear Brandy's familiar scream and run towards it. I see the jock from earlier holding her down and burning her with a cigarette. The blonde from earlier watches in amusement. She turns around and looks at me.
She runs up to me and grabs my collar. "What're you looking at, new boy?" She snarls. I punch her in the stomach and she screams and falls to the ground. The jock gets off of her and rushes towards me. "Bastard!" He swings to punch me but I duck and knee him in the stomach. He gets up again to punch me but I uppercut him and he falls to the ground. I kick him in the chin and walk beside Brandy. I lift her off the ground and carry her bridal style all the way back to the mansion.
"Nathan, I can walk myself." She mumbles. "He burned you right?" I ask. "It was only one burn... thank you though." She says and bury her face in my hoodie.
