Chapter 3

"Hello Elise"

The beautiful woman was now standing in front of him, with a beaming smile that could melt the hearts of anyone that was lucky enough to see it. He could say with certainty that it was a smile that would captivate any man and bend them to her will. Happily she was not that type of person though.

"Hello handsome, turns out it was a good thing I delayed my shopping trip for dinner today."

"Haha" Christopher gave a feeble laugh unable to make eye contact with her, he couldn't help but to feel shame. She lifted him by his chin giving him a soft smile.

"After the life you've lived, I'm amazed that you've come this far. Regardless of how you feel. I'm proud of you." She declared planting a soft kiss on his lips.

As far as Christopher could think of there were three to five people in this world he honestly loved and would do anything for. She was the one thing that held him together in this new life. Whenever he thought he was no longer able to take it, she always knew what to do, what to say. ' I will always owe this angel my life.'

She looked at him so fondly. He could feel the warmth in her gaze. The way she was looking at him she could tell Christopher he was god himself and he may just be willing to believe it. 

" It could always be better and it could always be worse." shrugged Christopher. 

"It always makes me happy to hear that. Because its about to get worse." Her beautiful warm smile vanished immediately and was replaced with one of a grinning demon. You would almost think the gods pulled a trick and switched a look alike with her right before his very eyes. She gave off the vibe of a completely different person.

"Huh?" Was all that he was able to manage before Elise extend her arm out, holding in her hand a letter.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!?" she yelled glaring daggers at Chris. He was completely clueless as to what could make Elise so furious. It then hit him when he saw the seal at the bottom of the page. 

'Oh shit!' The color instantly drained from his face. It was a letter from his school! Why the hell is she even receiving anything from them!?'

" I was sent this letter Because I'm listed as your family contact on it, even though they believe I'm only 3 years older than you they have me listed as your guardian." She said while rolling up the letter in her hand. "What's  this about you cutting classes!? Being lazy!? Having a hostile personality picking fights with other students!? And most of all being rude to your instructors!?" She smacked Christopher once with the letter for each question asked, Although it was just paper Elise had a way of making it feel as if each hit was being struck with a hammer.

""It's not my fault their lectures are so boring! I mean they teach us stuff that is either out dated or pointless! Not to mention the teacher has a stick so far up his ass that I'm quite certain some one could pull off a pretty amazing puppet show with him! As for the fighting with other students, they're assholes and if I'm being completely honest it wasnt much of a fight, pampered pricks. I mean think about it, Five against one and they couldn't even be bothered to put up a half decent fight!" 

Elise let out a sigh. " I understand that you really don't want to be here, and your past grudges but you need to take into consideration all the strings that were pulled so you could go to this school and live a life like everyone else. Cassandra has done a lot for you. At least take that into consideration. What you do reflects poorly on her."

"Believe me I know how much I owe Cassandra, and I love her for it. Honestly though, this is not exactly the life I wanted." he whispered. 

SMACK.

"Well too bad for you, this is the life that you have now! So quit complaining and get home, as soon as I'm finished shopping I'll meet you there and you can help me with making dinner."

"Fine fine. Do you need any help carrying anything?" He asked rubbing his head awkwardly. Can't help but to feel like a scolded child. Half feeling guilty, half accused he could only shrug it off.

"No just get going and I would prefer if you didn't manage to get into any trouble on the small walk back to our home."

"How hard could that be?" Pfff Christopher blew out some air at her comment. 'It's not like I cause that much trouble...Ok maybe sometimes but not every day! For instance this week alone I've only been in trouble.... Oh damn it really has been every day.' 

"Hehe" Christopher chuckled to himself rubbing the back of his head looking like a complete fool.
