-Emelia's POV-

The lunch bell rang and everyone started darting for the cafeteria. My previous periods were alright. Ian is in all my classes so far, but so is that black hair guy who seems like he hates me. Why do I think he hates me? Because every period so far, he glances at me and sometimes stare. But when look to meet his gaze, he scowls and turns away like I did something to him. In PE today, him and Ian got into an argument today. Ian was keeping his cool while the other guy kept quite and never said a word, but they were communicating somehow. They would react to each other like they had spoken words

I walked up to the back of the line and saw Ian in the front, I guess he saw me to because he was motioning me to him. I walked up to him and he wrapped his arm around me and told me I could get anything I wanted and he'd pay for it. I refused at first, but he insisted and I knew there was no point in arguing about it. After that, I tried to sit with him but his friends wouldn't let me, so I sat at an empty table towards the back. I was about to eat the pizza Ian bought me, when I felt someone standing behind me. I turned around and saw Mr. Rock staring down at me like he'd rip me in two.

Mr. Rock: You're sitting at the wrong table Blondie.

Did he just call me Blondie?!I know he did not just insult me because of my hair color!

Emelia: Listen Rockface. There's nowhere else to sit so you're going to have to just get used to it, I'm sure you're friends won't mind once they get here...

It was at that moment I realized why this table was empty. This was his table, and he sat alone here. That's why he's so eager to make me leave, so he can sit alone in peace. Or at least I thought. Another girl with brunette hair and a cute outfit that matched it came and stood next to him.

Brunette Girl: Blake, what's going on over here?

So that's what his name was, Blake. A cute name for such a big ass-bag. I bet that's his girlfriend, they seem to know each other well. I can see why she would be, she's extremely pretty and makes a bunch of the other girls look like nothing.

Blake: Blondie here decided she was going to rude-fully make herself at home at our table.

Is this guy serious, I just told him that this was the last table and that there's nowhere else to sit! What an asshole, how does she put up with him?!

Brunette Girl: She can sit with us Blake, it would be good to have another girl at the table.

Blake just stared at her in disbelief, but eventually gave in and sat across from me. She sat between us and was eager to dispel the atmosphere. She smiled and turned to face me.

Brunette Girl: By the way, my names Cassie, it's nice to meet you Emelia.

Emelia: How do you know my name, we don't have class together do we?

Cassie: No, Blake here has been telling me all about you during class, we text each other a lot and he's told me a lot about you.

My mouth was hanging opened and I turned to Blake, who of course chose that moment to fall asleep in his chair.

Cassie: Don't worry about him, he worked late last night and has been tired all day. He does this a lot when he keeps his shop opened up for too long.

Wait, this guy runs his own shop? I guess that isn't too surprising since Ian owns and entire global multi-million dollar company.

Cassie: I know he can be hard to get used to, but he's actually a really good guy. Once you get to know him and he becomes familiar with you, he'll open up just the tiniest bit. He's like a puppy when you first adopt him.

I looked over at him after she said this, but he sure didn't look like a puppy. Even in his sleep he scowls, he reminds me of that one superhero that always seems in a brute mood.

Suddenly, Cassie was no longer smiling and scooted closer to Blake, frantically trying to wake him up. Confused and scared at the same time, I turned around to see a athletically toned redhead staring down at me with malicious eyes. He started licking his lips, and not in a nervous kind of way, he licked them like a wolf licking it's teeth before it snaps at it's prey. Then, he grabbed a nearby chair and sat next to me, wrapping his arm around me tightly. I tried to get out of it, but he was way stronger than I was and didn't seem to want me to go anywhere. 

Redhead: Let's say you and I go out back and find out what the humans bodies all about.

This dirty pervert just asked me if I wanted to sneak out of school and go fucking the back woods!

I slapped him, which was a mistake, becuased he cussed me out and raised his hand to slap me back. Only, I knew his would feel like getting slapped by a 2-by-4 straight in the face. I closed my eyes and waited for the blow, Cassie was frantically trying to wake Blake up, and none of the other students seemed brave enough to step in. All I could do was wait for the attack and hope it didn't ruin my face. But the slap never came, and when I opened my eyes and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Blake had his right hand gripped around the hand the redhead was going to hit me with! I looked over at Cassie and was about to thank her for waking him up in time. But that's when I realized he was still asleep. His head was in his arm and he was snoring quietly, while still holding his grip on the perverted redhead. The redhead tried to yank his arm out but that only made him grip it tighter. Now redhead was wincing in pain and took his arm from around me to free his hand. I quickly got up and stood next to Cassie. As he tried to pull his arm free, Blake tightened his grip so much that the redhead started shouting in pain.

Redhead: You son of a bitch! Let go of me right now, I command you as your Jack to take your hands off of me!

Blake let go of his hand and fell back asleep. Then, the redhead broke the school rules and activated his ability. He was was a Fire Elemental, how could I tell? Because his eyes turned from hazel like mine, to an ember color. As he was about to blast Blake with a fire attack, Blake in one smooth and swift movement, stood up and slammed his fist into redhead's stomach, sending him flying up into the air and crashing on the at least eight feet away. I stood there completely dumbfounded, he just send him flying with one punch! I looked at him and saw his eyes were open, and they were an amazing sight to see. If you looked close enough into them,  looked like a thunderstorm was happening in them.

The redhead stood up and seemed really pissed off, which was bad, since Fire Elementals powers grow the angrier they get. He and Blake both charged at each other but never made contact. Ian stood between them and stopped them both in their tracks, but he sure didn't seem happy about it. He looked at redhead with a scolding face, but when he looked at Blake, I thought he was going to shit himself. He jumped a bit and let him go and walked away with redhead. Everybody seemed to be over it and went back to their usual business.
