-Nickolas' POV-
The lads and I walked through the school gates half of us excited and the other half, myself included, with nothing but boredom. Even the trophy cases sat on display disinterested me. The only reason we were here was that it wasn't safe in England any more or else I would have happily stayed there.Blake walked up to us and handed us our timetables which all differed to my misfortune. Yet at least we had our first lesson together which happened to be science, one of my better subjects.Before we entered the classroom Zack said something about calling dibs on the seat next to the hottest girl and we all chuckled as I pushed open the door. I walked in, looking around to see that the room was old and run down just as much as the teacher who was teaching in it. I had started missing England already. The layout of the room was too much like what you would find on TV and it was almost suffocating.
As I scanned the room my eyes met with another pair of grey ones that caught me off guard. We looked at each other but broke off before it could get too awkward. The teacher said something about us introducing ourselves after looking at the note I handed her making me sigh and thankful that Zack volunteered to go first. During that time, I couldn't help but have my gaze go back to the girl with grey eyes. She seemed to stand out from everyone else even though her clothing style was simple and covered. Her hoodie hid anything interesting and I couldn't tell how tall she was while she was sitting down but I could tell that her posture was pristine, and she had a huge dangerous presence. I didn't like it.
She must have felt me staring again because she looked back at me. This time I didn't back down. She didn't either which spiked my annoyance. I introduced myself when it was my turn and kept my stance until we were told to go sit down.
"Demonic sits there on her own though, doesn't she?" A girl called out which made me raise my eyebrow and look towards Jason who seemed to be thinking the same thing as me. Demonic huh? I thought with a little satisfaction before taking a seat behind her. There wasn't much to see from the back of her head considering her hood was covering most of it but there was a part of her hair poking out with a nice light brown colour.Zack, who had sat next to demonic, started talking to her which made me half-smile, getting some information from her wouldn't be bad. I had thought but it didn't seem like I nor Zack was going to get it easily. She didn't seem interested at all but instead left us hanging which made me scoff and lean back in my chair, reminding myself that she doesn't matter.The rest of the lesson went by slowly and I could hardly remember anything about it except the fact that it was all a recap of things I had already learned last year. When it did eventually end though the class, or the majority of the girls at least, started crowding around our tables, wanting our attention, asking us questions, almost pushing themselves onto us which I wasn't necessarily against.Suddenly, I was pulled out of the ruckus when Jake passes me a drawing and saying, "check it out Nick, your girl knows how to draw."
I snatched the drawing out of his hands whilst scoffing at him. "She's not, 'my girl'," I reply and looked down as the drawing properly and in slight amazement.
"Sure bro, we saw you checking her out at the introduction." I gave him a half-smile and shook my head.After that, I looked in front of me, expecting to see the artist in black but she had seemed to vanish which made my smile fall. Out of curiosity, I got up in search of her. Right now, she seemed to be the only amusing thing about this school, so I had to keep an eye out for her.I was near the exit of the building when I see her. She's texting on her phone and looked ready to leave which confused me. The day just started, where could she be going? I decided to stop her, so I stood in her path, expecting her to bump into me but her reflexes were quick, and she stopped in front of me instead despite not looking up yet. I couldn't exactly see her face but I'm sure it held a questionable look."Where're you going?" I ask her, looking down at her phone's screen to see a notification pop up under a guy's name. Who's Xavier? I wonder as I wait for a reply.
"Far from where your business lies." She states and walks away from me like I was nothing.It takes me a few seconds to register what she says but when I do and turn to look at her in disbelief, she's already gone.My hands curl into fists. No one treats me with that sort of disrespect and it looks like I'll have to teach her that lesson for as long as I'm in this school.
-Dominic's POV (3 months later)-It's been three months since Nickolas and the rest of the guys have joined the school and I can honestly say it's not the most pleasant of changes.Fortunately, the attention that I had been getting before had lessened and instead the school was separated into teams of supporters either for or against me or the guys. They hated me for whatever reason and in turn, I hate them back and that had turned the school into a war zone. They had the upper hand considering there were five of them and one of me but that didn't matter because I was physically stronger than most of them even if they didn't know it. They didn't need to know anything, and I was keeping it that way."Oi demonic hold-up!" Called out a fam
-Nickolas' POV (that day)-As the bell rang signalling the end of class, my hand tightened around my phone in anger as I read some news that someone I knew had sent me. A gang in Texas picked a fight with a part of my own. Something that I was going to make them regret but I couldn't just sit here and be angry. I was going to let it out on someone and I knew exactly who. Dominic.It's been three months since I joined this pathetic school and I came to find out that demonic's real name is Dominic. She was given her nickname because she's known for her violent behaviour when she first got to school. Due to this she also didn't have any friends. She was a year older than everyone else in our year, making us the same ag
-Dominic's POV-"The Skulls and Bones? I thought you said they weren't a big deal?" I asked as Xavier shut off his phone which had been playing the news of a drug deal scheme being found out by the police in Texas. The gangs involved couldn't be identified but the situation was huge."They aren't to us, but the country? Maybe." I raised my eyebr
-Nickolas' POV-"Wait, I'm still confused, Nick. She's the most well-known female street fighter, and the second strongest street fighter in general and yet no one knows anything about her?" Jake asks, and I sigh in response, understanding his confusion and unhappy with the situation as well."That and the fact that she's one of the only females in the face-offs. She's around our age but we can't be too sure, plus her partner is the strongest street fighter in the world." I replied, reading over the information that Jason had gathered not too long ago."So the 'Mysterious' part in her name isn't just for show?" I shrugged back as we walked towards the others. I instructed earlier that they all started tra
-Dominic's POV-"You order any pizza?" Xavier asks as I put my contact lenses in. "No," I reply simply but I was curious as to who it could be. Usually, Xavier doesn't get me involved with the people unlucky enough to be found at our door. So, there must be a reason he had this time."Want me to beat him up or are you gonna do that in the competition? He seems like a good warm-up." He pushes and that was my sign to get up and take a look. I made it to Xavier's side to see the guy he was talking about. It took everything in me to stop myself from laughing. It was Nickolas."I'll handle this one" I inform Xavier and he sighs with fake sadness,
-Nickolas' POV-"What do you want?"Her question went right above my head for a moment. Instead, I was more focussed on just her presence. You could feel her strength and it was amazing.However, I shook myself out of my daze and stood firm despite the number of people who were watching me. They didn't like me, I could sense it. No one thought I belonged here and they weren't completely wrong either. I'm a gang leader, I don't belong in a place this disgusting. The smell of blood and alcohol consumed my nose, it didn't match the image of the fighter in front of me though either. She stood with pride, honour, and strangely, beauty. Like a rose full of thorns."You're joining my gang," I command.
-Dominic's POV-I ran up to Nickolas, acting like I was going to punch him but instead swiftly turned and slid my foot under him, making him fall the second time this evening.His back must have been in pain from the falls he's been getting from me recently, but I didn't care. I don't believe in mercy in the ring.I jumped down and elbowed his stomach earning a groan. That's what he got for punching me in the stomach so. many. fucking. times. I thought with a grin but was suddenly pushed around so he was on top of me, he punched my face a couple of time, allowing me to get a sense of his strength. He wasn't weak that was for sure, but I had harder against Xavier.Before he could punch me with h
-Nickolas' POV-I woke up and was quick to realize that I had lost to The Mysterious Demon. I curled my bandaged fists and punched the wall next to me in anger. I failed.Soon I also came to find out that my gang had slowly lost to other street fighters too, Jake being the last. The only fight I was able to watch properly, and the most interesting one, was between The Mysterious Demon and The Champ.It was the longest fight I heard. It was painful to watch too. My anger was replaced with amazement as I watched them, but the anger was not forgotten. When they finally ended the fight in a draw, I took my gang out and we got in place for our attack.A lot of them were injured which I had to be war
