'SOME PEOPLE JUST WANT TO WATCH THE WORLD BURN'
"When you look around you, you always see the people you love. The people who will ever be by your side until the end. When I look around me, I see the people who hate me. I see the people who wouldn't bat an eyelid if something were to happen to me. And I used to be good with that. It didn't bother me in the slightest. But now, I don't know what I would do without Hope. Our little expedition through dark magic the night prior made me realize I wasn't as cold as I thought.
Kayla was putting on her uniform, a grimace of discomfort in her face while her roommate laughed
"Care to share with the class, demon?" Penelope Parks, known as Satan -by her cousins particularly- had become Kayla's roommate since she first got into the school.
"Nothing to share, Satan" Kayla replied, turning away from her mirror and watching Penelope finish her make up.
Since the moment they both had been placed in the same room, both girls had gotten along. They both were hated by most of the school population and were cold and sarcastic, but under the safety of their room, sometimes they were the only ones who know they both really had a heart.
"Well, I'm not the one puking black goo" Penelope smirked. Kayla didn't answer, picking up her books "Now the question, why were you practicing dark magic? I thought you were really onto getting into Dr. Saltzman's good side?"
Kayla rolled her eyes "Desperate times called for desperate measures"
Penelope lowered her make up brush, lowering her eyebrows "If you did it for Mikaelson, she's not really going to give you a free pass onto being a nice student in his eyes"
A knock in the doorframe stopped their conversation, seeing Hope in there, a guilty expression as she heard them speaking but tried to not let it show, "Hi"
Kayla gave Penelope a look, "See you in class"
Penelope half smiled, turning away
Kayla walked toward Hope, walking pass her
"She knows?" Hope asked.
"Penelope knows everything" Kayla explained "I don't know why, and I don't care. As long as she is not around telling people my secrets"
"Speaking of secrets" Hope began. Kayla turned to face her, both of them still walking along the hallway "Emma knows I practiced dark magic last night" Kayla raised her eyebrows, "I didn't tell her you guys helped me, however..."
