Black Phoenix

Chapter 4 - Shut up

Gabriella POV

We started walking to our literature class. Some students would smile at me while others got on with their daily routine.

"We need to inform your Father" Jav stated

"No!" I exclaimed earning a few stares, "sorry"

"Why?" Daniel questioned

"He will not allow us to leave the house if he knows that Cheran is planning to kill me and I will be under full protection which I hate I might add plus even if Michael plans to do something he can't do anything" I shrugged

I don't want to be locked up. Not again

"Yes he can't do anything in college but outside he can" Lucas pointed out

"C'mon this is my first time in years that I can go out other than the racing tracks without the whole army of bodyguards following so please don't tell father" I pleaded

Logan Marcello, my supposed father would do anything to make sure no one has their hands on me, for I was his prized possession.

"El if he finds out we will be in trouble" Lucas groaned

"So don't tell him we keep it a secret" I responded immediately as they all groaned, "I promise I will stay by your sides so please pretty please"

And I am strong enough to defend myself. I escaped hell not to be trapped in another.

"You know that Michael doesn't stop and his father will help him" Bryan argued

"But David is not in Italy and they are under your surveillance you can inform me if there's any danger" I argued back

And I have my own plan

"Gabby"

"Bryan"

"Promise you will stay by my side, Jav's, Daniel's or Lucas's side" he stared at me

"What about my side?" Lexi questioned

"You may can protect yourself sister but you can't protect someone else with that little self-dense and you are too staying by the guys' side" Bryan declared

He was like the mother in this group

"You seriously aren't considering it right Bryan?" Jav eyed him. I glared at him

"I'll give your game back which I won from you 2 years ago" I quickly reacted before Bryan could

"Deal but you cheated and took it" he said huffing

"Yeah, yeah I did cheat happy so deal?"

"Deal" he affirmed. Honestly he lost the card game and I didn't even have to cheat.

"Okay pact promise" I held my palm out as the rest of their hands placed on mine

"Pact promise" Lucas nod, "umm El where is your book?"

"We have a book?"

"I literally told you to take the drama book out" Lexi shook her head

"I do remember taking it out... and then... I put my bag in the locker... and also put the book in too" I smiled

"Typical you" Jav snickered

"Hey can you blame me?" I shrugged, "I'll go get the book and come"

"Let me come with you" Lucas insisted

I don't how he doesn't hate me, especially after learning the truth. He keeps acting as if my presence doesn't threaten him

"You guys go ahead, Michael is in the class so no danger and I don't want you guys to be late because of me" I said walking backwards.
